Chapter 428: Son
Children, elderly, husbands, wives– just people Van had been hiding in the shadows and alleys for al to scout their supposed eneo…
…this was probably thesociety that Van had seen so far
They looked so careless and carefree that if Van were to wreak havoc, then he could probably kill all of them Of course, these were still World Eaters– their o there! Let's go there!"
Van then squinted his eyes as he looked at a s at the numerous shops that were lined up on the street Theher head as she didn't let her daughter go
"" Little trickles of lightning eed from Van's eyes as soon as he saw this They truly were just living nor that they were about to trample on trillions of lives Should he really just kill them all? But if their military force responds and he dies– Athena and the others would surely lose hope
And so, with a short breath, the trickles of lightning that eed from his eyes slowly faded with a shake of his head Since he was already inside and his presence here seemed to not have yet been detected, then he should probably try to find their weakness
Their Achilles' Heel, or so Athena would call it He owes her at least that fro and advice she told him while they were in bed
His first priority was finding Cleric Adimus, Rechiel's father From Diniel's memories, these people do not seem to care about their children thatso far now that he was here… it wouldn't seem that wasn't always the case
His only problem nohere to start his search– there were hts inside the Vessel; more than a dozen planet-sized… whatever these planet-like things are Would he need to search each and every corner for hi would that actually take–
"!!!"
And before Van could finish his thoughts, a slight rustle whispered behind hi him move behind a dumpster
"How many times do we have to throw all this food away!? Can't we just keep them?"
"I told you, life doesn't work that way"
"" Van slightly leaned his head to look at the two people; wearing soht– he probably needed to blend in first And so, with that in mind, Van suddenly disappeared from his spot But before the du, he was already back
The black arot from Vivati, now covered by some sort of white layered robe
"" And with a sentle sway… Van stepped out of the alley Even though he had white hair, he shouldn't stand out that ly, the majority of the people adorned a similar hair color– mostly silver
But still, he could not help but take in a s around the street… inconspicuously Or at least as inconspicuous as he could– still, allances at hi at him even from behind
"fuck," he whispered Was he already discovered? Van then tried to return one of the gazes, only for them to wave at him and smile
"" Van could only wave back and ser's face to widen even further Perhaps… they were just friendly?
"Whose child is that?"
But soon, the people's whispers reached his ears
"I wonder howlike that?"
"But… there's a scar…"
"Probably training to be a crusader"
"W… , that's like winning the gene lottery, isn't it?"
"" Van slightly furrowed his eyebrohy does it feel like they were talking about hi
"Maybe Bishop Beizos's child?"
"You ht now"
"I heard a ruo… it makes sense They're the only ones who could afford a child like that"
"" Van could not help but blink a couple of ti to hie was one of the s in war But…
…there was a way to take this to the next level, Van thought as he returned one of the gossipers' gazes
"The child's approaching us! What… what do we do!?"
"Just act natural, just act natural!"
The to uncontrollably as they tried to hold their fake smiles
"hello," Van then let out a small smile as he stood in front of the two, "I'm… a bit lost, maybe you could help me?"
"Why… yes, of course… of course!" One of the wohtly stuttered as she looked back and forth between her friend and Van
"Can you tellhis best to awaken his lying skills that had been lying dor time now
"Venue?"
"My father told uards," Van then said, the insides of his eyebrows slightly raised Although he hated his short stature and young looks, there were sometimes still benefits to it
