Chapter 463: Glint (2/2)
”It's only my speculation…”
”Just speak, stop beating about the bush.” Head Solar pressed.
They both knew about Head Falls' ability. If there were any deductions he could make, they would likely be very close to the truth.
In reality, it was mostly because of this that they were caught off guard by things. They were so used to Head Falls seeing through everything in advance that they never even suspected what might happen. Now, they had been caught with their pants down.
Head Falls took a deep breath.
”The appearance of Young Miss Heira is too mysterious. No one knows where she comes from, what strength she possesses, or what her goals are. All we know is that she is the fiancée to the Keafir family Heir, nothing more, nothing less.
”I contacted Shield Cross Stars to hopefully find out some information about her, but my contacts weren't able to get anything back to me.”
The expression of the two Heads changed.
This realization didn't mean that Heira's standing was above Shield Cross Stars. This was almost impossible. After all, Shield Cross Stars was considered to be the police of the universe. There were few if any Powers that could ignore their influence.
What this truly meant was that Head Falls' contacts weren't able to get him the information he needed. Simply put, their clearance wasn't high enough.
This meant at least one thing for sure: Heira wasn't from a world weaker than the Fifth Dimension.
”However, they did let slip one thing. According to them, a notice for fugitives was put out. Suspicious entities in all Fourth Dimensional worlds within this Star Alignment were all marked with monitoring brands. But, most importantly… This order was requested by Young Miss Heira herself.
”As for what this means in totality, I'm not sure. But… It for certain means that this young lady has the influence or, at the very least, the net worth necessary to accomplish such a thing.”
Head Solar's brows furrowed. ”What are you trying to get at? I feel you mean something more by telling us how potentially powerful she is, correct?”
”Yes… Don't you think it's odd that not to mention the fact the two haven't gotten married, but they haven't even set a date for their wedding yet? Almost like… Almost like the Kaefir family Heir still hasn't proved himself yet?
”So, what kind of status would he gain once he did gain such acknowledgement? What if this acknowledgement is more important than any backing Valiant Heart Mountain could ever provide?”
The two Heads sucked in a cold breath before a deathly silence fell over the room.
”Then… What should we do?” Head Mirage was the one to finally break the silence.
Head Falls didn't answer for a long while. For a moment, the two thought that he might never respond at all. But, when he finally did speak, they felt a swirl of complex emotions were surging within them.
”… As things stand now, Earth still has a chance to defend itself. Though they're feeling the pressure, it isn't to the point their loss is guaranteed…
”… As the saying goes, delivering coal in the winter is better than delivering water to an already smothered flame. What chance would Earth stand if instead of half our world's strength, it faced the entire brunt?”
…
Head Falls left the meeting of Powers with a smirk on his face, a sharp glint lighting his eye.
