Chapter 40: Julie Ekheart (2/2)

I still have plenty of theirmy time here?”

Eren / Do before while saying that Then he took out two Extols from his ID stone and handed theave her two Extols in advance without theuy?’ Julie thought to herself after she looked at the Extols lying on the table in front of her

Before she could say anything about it, Julie sao ladies approaching their tables after they witnessed Dom’s charity work Julie could see whatDoood life for quite some time And if they could please Dom some more, maybe he would bless them with another couple of Extols

Julie couldn’t blame them She too would have siotten himself involved in the mess And Julie was here on a mission

A mission that was almost completely over due to an unexpected encounter with the perpetrator behind the whole incident himself

The ladies approached Dom and offered hiht away He looked at Julie aved hi she wasn’t interested in the offer Dom didn’t mind He even let her keep the two Extols

Julie had tried following Dom when they went outside the bar But even in his drunken haze, Do followed and looked back to stare at Julie who then had to bow her head and let hio away

She knew if she pushed her luck now, forget about unwrapping the whole mystery behind Dootten away nobody could tell where he had gone Julie closed her fist on the two Extols Doiven her She needed to infor news she had received

Julie Ekheart was on aher time in such a lowly place To collect information about the unknown person that had acco his second visit to the Osan woods

Sometimes the denizens of the darkest corners of the city knew ht ever could

Julie stuck out in the bar due to her ranking Notan artefact to interfere with their mana sense But Reen could find out about it with her C Rank prowess

Therefore, Eren i full well she wouldn’t be the bar’s usual custo and everything that had happened in the Osan woods

Eren knew the city was noling with spies He just needed to approach the right spy at the right time to ‘spill the beans’ about Do Julie, Eren could tell that there was a hint of surprise flashed in Julie’s eyes briefly before she uessed she did not personally know Dom but must have seen his picture in the reports

Eren was also aware Julie had started video-recording the entire conversation with herdevice dubbed as her ID stone

First, she handled her ID stone hurriedly and briefly without taking anything out from it She had also kept that stone too far away from her on the table when the conversation started That was another sign

Eren was ive a docuh about hison his ‘backer’, which was no one by the way

Unless so suspicious in the Osan woods for real But ere the chances of that happening, right? Eren had thought

Eren was purposefully being vague about the kingdo his spy interview First, he didn’t want to draw the kingdohtly blamed anyone, nobody would believe hiht would be high if he na It was better he let others conclude the story themselves to fit their narrative

Of course, there would be some loopholes in what Eren had said to Julie Like why did he coet sacrificed? But he had skipped on many details and stayed elusive about the rest

Therefore those loopholes will be treated as blank spaces that need to be filled with either inforo into details about Isaac’s party wipeout for the sa their names to show that Dom was still in his capacities to think about hiave two Extols to Julie with a bleeding heart so that she would have proof of Dom’s involvement in Isaac’s murder

Every batch of Extol had a special mana refraction pattern that was different from the other Julie could compare the batch pattern of Isen’s current Extols with the Extols she had received froainst him

”

With this, Eren had given Julie enough to make her see Dom and his backer as the real culprit
