Chapter 1059: The truth of the scheme (2) (1/2)

He had never thought that when Loki found their safe house that they would get their happy ending.

Well, this is not quite a happy ending to some people.

But to him it is.

He had long wanted to get out from the whirlpool of the power struggle in the world.

The Seven great powers that fought against each other in the dark, the Crime Alliance, and the many other forces that is biding their time in the shadows, ready to come out once these titans duke it out with each other

He never thought he could escape it.

Because he has the Book of Secrets and he is the Broker.

He had to keep using the Book of secrets because he knows, that without any value, he would be discarded.

He was kept under protection by the Shadow Guards because he provides intelligence to them. If not how could the Shadow Guards tolerate him.

There is a reason why Sasha did not bring him to Death Monarch. Because they both don't know what Death Monarch would do to him, if he ever shows his face in front of him

Regardless of Nathan intention, he co-founded the Crime Alliance. A such, he is one of the enemy that pandemonium wanted dead.

The only escape….at least in his mind, was death

But with what Loki had done, he no longer had to worry. He smiles and then looking at Loki he said

'Thank you' He means it from the bottom of his heart

Loki look at him and scoffed

'trust me. I didn't do it for you.' Then he added

'As for the Book of Secrets, I think you've notice' Nathan nodded

'I don't mind' Then pausing for a second he then said with a calm tone

'I don't know how you do it but it seems that you managed to split my unique class and put it into the Book. Now, the Book is truly not bind to me anymore. Is this the Price for this freedom?' He asks

'Why? Do you want your power back?' Nathan chuckles as he shakes his head.

'It's fine. Knowing a lot of secrets is not as good as one thinks. Then he looks at Riana beside her, and hold her hand.

Then he said

'I would only strengthen myself strong enough to protect my family from now on. It is good to start anew. Maybe, I would be just a simple warrior' he said with a smile as he squeezed a bit of Riana hand

Riana look at her and smile. And because she smiles, he smiles.

Nathan right now around Orb Condensing stage

Loki had done something to him when he was enveloped by that huge amount of energy

Even so, Nathan did not blame Loki.

He knows why Loki came to him. he wants to take control of the Book of Secrets. That could not happen unless he dies.

But when he dies, his unique class could once again be inherited by someone else who fulfill the requirements of the class.

At least that is what he thought. It is clear now, that Loki had found another way to make sure that he could use the Book of Secrets without killing him who had created such an item

But Loki seems to have a method to seal the unique will into the Book of Secrets. Nathan could already think of how Loki would explain this to the Crime Lords.

He would probably say that when Nathan died, he seals the Unique Will inside the book so that he could have complete control over the Book.

It would make it even more legit.

Since the Crime Lords probably also believe that only by the original owner dying that one such item could be taken control of.

Nathan admired Loki farsightedness at this moment and shudders to think how deep his planning was.

Loki then said

'Riana, you should take a rest. From what I heard from Trisha she had modified the place. And as for you' he said as his eyes went back to Nathan

'Don't ever reveal yourself to anyone. I already take a lot of risk saving you when it is simply easier just to kill you. And-' he paused for a second before saying

'Treat Riana good. If not, I don't mind making the lies become the truth' Nathan nodded and smile

'I promise you' Loki just shakes his head.

'Still, you don't have a trustworthy face. I wonder what she sees in you' he could only sigh at this as he exhaled his breath.

Riana was about to say something but Loki raise his hand and whatever she wanted to say is stuck on her throat.

'I know; you have more questions. And probably there is a lot of things you wanted to say too. But…. I am tired'

He then added

'Let us talk tonight. On the other side of the forest there is thick trees and the energies around that forest is also quite weird. I bet it would distort any surveillance methods. We could have a barbecue, like the old times'

He looks back at Nathan and said grudgingly

'You are invited' Nathan nodded

Loki then gesture to Riana to exit the room. Riana got up and as she got up Nathan also got up. They look at each other and they smile.
