Chapter 88 - Earth Alliance Academy (1/2)

Zarinvienne glanced at the dried up body in front of her with a cold expression. She then frowned when she saw a shining gem rolling out of Lhun Marchand's pocket. It was an uncut piece of blue diamond which was way bigger than the Praeclarum Adamantino that was auctioned a few weeks ago. She was fascinated by its dazzling radiance. She picked up the blue diamond with an excited face.

”His lordship could use this for that thing.”

She then left the room without glancing back at the dead body of Lhun Marchand. His corpse was already dried up beyond belief. It was like all the liquid inside his body was sucked dry and all that remained was a blackish skin and bones.

Cale inspected the blue diamond in his hands with a smile on his face. He then patted Zarinvienne's head softly while speaking in a joyous tone.

”Good job Zarinvienne.”

The latter smiled from ear to ear after hearing Cale's compliments, while Nocturna looked at Zarinvienne with her pouting lips. When Cale turned around, Zarinvienne glanced at Nocturna with a smug smile on her face. That latter forced out a smile which did not look like a smile at all because of her popping veins. Nocturna walked towards Zarinvienne with small steps and pinched her cheeks with a gloating look.

'My little sister, don't you dare mess with me, your big sister. Hmph!” She then retracted her hands and smiled at Zarinvienne brightly.

”Ow! Ow! Ouch!”

The latter rubbed her aching cheeks while glaring at the half elf in front of her. She then pounced at her and the two beauties were suddenly embroiled in a pinching war.

Vishnu glanced at the both of them and shook his head. 'Even beauties with high level power such as them acts like this. Women will never change, they are still creatures that are so hard to understand. Even in my world..' Vishnu had a nostalgic smile on his face while looking at the two bickering women.

Cale turned around and glanced at them briefly before shaking his head. He then focused his gaze back on the blue diamond in his hands.

- Ding!

- Do you want to exchange this in 'The Black Market'?

Cale nodded his head calmly.

”Yes.”

- Ding!

- You received 12 000 000 000 Black Coins

Cale already expected it to be much more than ten billion, so he was not surprised by this.

'With this I can arm everyone in the tower with Energy Guns. And by then, our force will be more than enough to know the secrets of the Marchand Family.' Cale's eyes radiated killing intent. During his time as the Major General of the Alliance, they had faced countless betrayals from their comrades. And because of these betrayals, many of the Alliance's elites died. One of their bases was even destroyed. 'I cannot tolerate any more betrayal. I will kill them before they can even bring us destruction! But now is not the time. There is still that ancestor inside the Marchand Family and we don't even know a thing or two about him.' Cale's expression turned cold and even the others felt the change in his atmosphere.

Vishnu glanced at Cale with a worried expression.

”My lord, is there something wrong?”

Cale removed the cold look on his face and put on a slight smile.

”Nothing, I just remembered something bad during the past.”

Nocturna and Zarinvienne paused their 'battle' and glanced at Cale's smiling face. They felt a slight pang in their hearts after seeing him that way. What kind of burden was he carrying all this time? Why was he so determined to strengthen everyone inside the tower?
