237 Devils Hour 5 (2/2)
”... The next time that I come here, I'll make sure to bring linguists with me. You always talk alien.”
Annoyed, Fred glared at the man and said, ”Albarez people are really good at irritating me! My wife's soul is calling me inside the lab! So hurry up and spit out what you want to say!”
'... This lunatic fool.'
Resigned to the fate that he would not be invited to a drink or even on a chair, the mild-tempered old man sighed.
”I personally come since what I want to ask you are somehow sensitive and should not merely go through phone.”
Fred looked bored and took out his tumbler and chugged on the coffee stored there. The man always had some ready since he needed it to stimulate or awaken his sometimes sleepy mind.
Conrad chose not to get worked up on not being offered even a sip of anything.
He continued, ”... I think people from C Empire are starting to make a move on your daughter's mini-faction here. Are you aware?”
Fred sneered and asked, ”So? What if I am or not? What do you want me to do? Go out and wipe out those bastards? You're making me question your intelligence again, my dear supporter. I have a more important matter to take care of here. Also, isn't your nephew an invulnerable bullet shield? Show his worth now that I let him reunite with my Sofony!”
A vein almost popped up in Conrad's forehead. At that time, he admired himself for holding on until now when faced with this insane man.
With knitted brows, he questioned,
”... Are you sure you won't get involved? That organization from C Empire is led by that fake pacifist?”
The smell of coffee faintly lingered around them.
After swallowing another mouthful, Fred casually answered, ”That old geezer won't dare anger me. We're both people from the previous period who no longer have any chance to improve. The difference between us is that I'm at a higher-level and could kill him if I want to.”
The doctor laughed and said, ”But if you're very worried, how about you use the second favor now?”
”... Bye. I'm leaving.”
