Chapter 1151 - Little Kid Soro, You’ve Revealed Yourself! (2/2)
“That’s not too good…”
Sorokin was unwilling and wanted to avoid the request.
However, Han Xiao’s tone suddenly changed, becoming more subtle. “Speaking of which, I recently found a historical figure that interested me when I was looking up information.”
Sorokin was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Han Xiao changed the topic all of a sudden.
He suppressed his impatience and pretended to be curious. “Who?”
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, staring interestedly at Sorokin as he spoke. “Rovell Sissock, one of the Primordial Ones with the name of Soul Emperor. Have you heard of him before?”
“… I have, but why has he aroused your interest?”
“Oh, I was collecting Primal Esper Ability Entities a while ago, and this one called the Soul Flame caught my attention. When I checked its information, I found out that its last host was someone called the Soul Emperor. It didn’t matter much to me, but not long after, I happened to run into the current host of the Soul Flame, and he told me some astonishing news. It turns out that the Primordial Soul Emperor did not die in a war as the data showed. His soul managed to escape, and he hid himself. Due to his special ability, he might just have survived to the present day… and I also discovered that his ability is very similar to yours. Don’t you think it’s magical?”
“Haha, it’s just a coincidence… but a Primordial One that’s survived to this day? It’s really a bit powerful.”
“I agree. I feel that it’s a coincidence… Yes, let’s get back on topic. We’re working together to intervene in this matter, and it’s actually a win-win situation. Isn’t it good to get a larger share together?”
“Oh, that makes sense. Alright, you’ve convinced me. We’ll put it as such. When the time comes, I’ll open up the channels to help the Germinal Financial Group enter the venue.”
“Haha, I wish us a happy cooperation, and I won’t continue to disturb you.”
“Alright, to a happy cooperation.”
The moment the call ended, the smile on Sorokin’s face vanished.
Ka-cha!
An electric spark flashed as the communicator was crushed into a piece of scrap iron.
“This guy has discovered my secret!”
Sorokin looked suspicious.
‘Soul Emperor’ Rovell Sissock was indeed his earliest identity!
Although he did not reveal anything when he spoke just now, a storm was actually brewing in his heart.
Were it not for his psychological qualities, Sorokin would not have been so calm after someone had called out his previous identity, and his expression would have revealed the answer.
Sorokin did not believe that Black Star was absolutely certain of being able to see through his identity. It had to be because of some certain intelligence he had that allowed him to make an association, so he asked to test him out.
With so much time in between, he had already gone through many identities. The other party could not possibly have real evidence on him.
Just purely from an identity viewpoint, it did not matter even if he knew that Sorokin was the Soul Emperor. He had no grudge nor grievance with the Soul Emperor identity. Even if there were any enemies, they had long since disappeared in the long river of history. What Sorokin was afraid of was the chain reaction caused by the exposure of his identity. If the three Universal Civilizations and Beyond Grade As knew that he was actually a Primordial One who had survived to this day, they would definitely be jealous. Then, how could he maintain his weak image, continuing to be a pig to eat a tiger?
Furthermore, he was quite sure that he was the only Primordial One who had survived so far. The three Universal Civilizations would definitely move when they heard the news. Just thinking about it made him shiver.
Now that the bargaining chips were in Han Xiao’s hands, Sorokin could only accept Han Xiao’s proposal, much to his chagrin.
“While Black Star does not have any proof on his hands, if I allow him to continue his investigation, he’ll definitely find out all the identities I’ve used before…”
Sorokin’s expression changed slightly.
The identity of Soul Emperor being blown was okay, since it was a positive one, but the other identities he had used were not so clean.
It was to the point that when the Beyond Grade As had received a cleansing, his shadow was behind it!
While any traces were practically cleaned up over the years, if someone managed to uncover it, the consequences would be unimaginable! Right now, he only wished to let Black Star think that the Soul Emperor identity was enough to blackmail him, so he would not pursue it any further.
“Even if I change my identity again, there’ll always be a risk for exposure. Only by getting rid of Black Star can I get it over and done with…”
Sorokin’s expression was uncertain.
