Chapter 307

No one had expected Alice Ho Lactea’s visit, but Eval thought he could use this opportunity Although he had joined Seven Stars with great reluctance, he wanted to do a proper job now that he was part of the group His goal was tothe human factions on Liber It wasn’t an unreachable drea true

Of course, he didn’t think it would be an easy task since there would be ht the Ho Lactea would becooal But contrary to these expectations, the Ho Lactea adinally planned to forhts and isolate the Ho Lactea, this changed things In military terms, it was as if a superior had joined hands with their superior

And with this reunion, they could crush groups like the Afrilith and Eustitia if they wanted to Now that his strategic plan had been overturned like this, Eval needed to rethink things

“No, I don’t need to forroups had probably already received news about Alice Ho Lactea’s visit They were probably anxiously wondering what Chi-Woo’s group would do from now on And it was up to them whether they would stand resolute by the an alliance with them like Ho Lactea

As Eval expected, there was a great buzz inside the Afrilith headquarters because of the news that Ho Lactea visited the Seven Stars The Seven Stars were recognized to have led the successful conquest of the Hala Forest, so it was evenApoline, who had already proclaied to hear the news She had been wondering whether she should visit Chi-Woo, or if Chi-Woo would visit her first, and was stunned to hear that the fox from the Ho Lacteas had taken the first step Her subordinates were busy appeasing her

But unlike Afrilith, the Eustitia side was unexpectedly quiet Rather than a co at between Ho Lactea and Seven Stars was also a hot topic there There were rumors that Alice went to Seven Stars’ headquarters in person and calee Everythingto her wishes Thus, one would think members of Eustitia, especially Emmanuel, would respond passionately to this news too, but for some reason, he re up in his room ever since he came back from the Hala Forest expedition

“Tch What in the world is he doing? He left the job to us, but never shows up anywhere It’s not like he’s wandering around busily either…”

“These days, I aroup I only joined out of trust in Eustitia's na their complaints more and more, yet there were still some who trusted Emmanuel

“Don’t be like that This is Eustitia we’re talking about I’”

Contrary to their expectations, though, E He si on the bed Of course, he knew that this wasn’t the right thing to do Yet…

[How pathetic]

E in his ears

[Don’t go around saying that you are a Eustitia]

[How in the world did such a defective child cos’ voices trailed behind his father’s Emmanuel made a bland smile He recalled a memory he didn’t really want to remember, but he didn’t feel much because he had heard them so many ti and turned to his side on his bed Just staring into space seeer the memories, and Emmanuel closed his eyes

[You pitiful boy]

Yet this ti in his ears

[You ca it was your deathbed… No, were you pushed into it? Tch!]

These were the words he had heard as soon as he entered the rooo was, but he was surprised that she knew the truth It all started with awith his family They said that the Eustitias also needed to send at least one member for the selection process of recruits to be deployed to Liber Since all the other fa one of their own, they couldn’t stand and do nothing when they were one of the top Celestial Lights As expected, no one volunteered Even though the situation had iend failed to fix

What would happen if they were chosen in the selection process and really had to go to Liber as a recruit? There would be no turning back then There were o to a place with the worst survival rate to simply die It was a very human reason for a family made up of pure human blood The opinions of the elders were similar Every one of their family members was precious reinforcement that they didn’t want to waste Thus, they wanted to do the least while not losing face, and thus, they naturally thought of the one black sheep ‘they wouldn’t care in the slightest even if he died or disappeared the next day’

Though there wasn’t e and was perfect to use as a throay card And though no one outrightly pressured him, Emmanuel clearly felt that everyone in his family wished for him to enter the selection process for Liber Thus, he said he would go That was the first time Emmanuel was treated as a true member of the Eustitia fa that he really was a son of the Eustitia faive him ample support Even his father—the head of the faave him any attention, spoke to hi so useful]

Perhaps it was fine for the head of the family to say this, but these ords that a parent should never say to their child Nevertheless, that was how Emmanuel joined the selection process and becah he hadn’t expected much, Emmanuel was surprised by the news A part of him orried, but when he first arrived at Liber, Emmanuel was full of dreaood treatment from his faed that he was suitable to enter Liber

Eined ould happen if he went to Liber like this and helped save it What would happen if he returned to his faht of it made him smile, and his body trembled He didn’t care if it was childish of hiarded for so long, he wanted attention more than anyone else, and thus, his entrance into Liber was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him An opportunity to prove himself and show his family that he wasn’t a useless defect, but sos hadn’t been so bad in the beginning He was able to get ahead of everyone else thanks to the ot from his family, and when he revealed that he was a Eustitia, people naturally followed him It was the first time Emmanuel had felt this level of respect And as Ean to have hope that his dreaht really come true—at least that was before he participated in the expedition at the Hala Forest

At the Hala Forest, Emmanuel had felt his weakness to the core But perhaps he could’ve overcome that since there were others who hadn’t been able to do anything like him And the one who had done all the asn’t froest of the Chois and the brother of the legend Though they were both huer than hiround that was on a whole different level than hi on What did you come here for?]

[I can see it There’s the smell of death all around you]

[I understand why you cas are difficult for you]

[It’s so cruel I don’t really knohere the place you ca one like you over It astonishes me the more I think about it The other hero at least cauy…]

Eo’s words He wanted to yell at the dingo asking what she knew, flip his chair over, and walk out of the rooo was speaking the truth Thus, he asked what he could possibly do to not die and achieve what he drea tih, she clicked her tongue

[I feel like you’re bearing a burden you don’t really need to bear, but… Since nothing in the world is definite, I will tell you Perhaps it would help lessen that load on your shoulders]

The old dingo murmured to herself and cleared her throat Then she said:

[Stick to the one who can save you An opportunity won’t co your way if you stand still Even if the person doesn’t want to and looks discoht That’s the only way a guy like you can live]

Eo meant exactly Thus, he asked for clarification, and the old dingo snorted

[Is there even a need to ask when you have witnessed his power in person?]

It was then a person ca about on his way here

[The one waiting outside should’ve died a couple ti to this world as well, but it was thanks to sticking close to that one man that he lived]

[If you don’t believe ood conversation between the two of you]

If what Eo was talking about Thus, after going outside, Eht out Ru Amuh

[I’m Eustitia’s Emmanuel]

[…I’ to Chi-Woo first
