Chapter 132 – Father
Jeffrey fell asleep.
Even Demeter disappeared and only after a few days did the three siblings reunite.
Tigris. Daphne. Thalia.
First, Daphne spoke to Tigris.
“Brother. Let’s talk for a minute.”
“It is. I also had something I wanted to ask.”
Tigris and Daphne once said something similar to this situation.
The two were naturally suspicious of each other.
And Taleia looked at the two and said.
“Just in case you didn’t know, I tried to resurrect in the name of my father. But the father doesn’t show up. Then my father is not dead.”
In a way, it meant that it was fortunate that my father was alive, but in a way, it also meant that my father might not be able to live or die because he was captured by someone.
Then Tigris and Daphne stabbed each other and said,
“Okay? Then your father is alive.”
“First of all, there is no reason why my father suddenly disappears for no reason. I’ll find out what happened to me and my brother.”
“Okay. In times like these, the power of brothels isn’t very helpful.”
Naturally, the first and second separated the third.
Taleia got the feeling that the two of them were ostracizing her, but she decided to move on.
She had already won the title of fiancee of the crown prince.
It was as if her own place was guaranteed to her in case of any eventuality.
And Tigris and Daphne began to talk separately.
They both wanted to ask each other questions.
It was to ask if you were the culprit.
However, such a question could not be easily answered by the other party.
Tigris said round and round.
“Couldn’t it be that your father got tired of everything and left everything?”
Then Daphne laughed out loud.
“No way. You know best that your father can’t be like that.”
And Daphne just said it directly.
“Tell me honestly. Didn’t your brother do it? After all, he is the eldest son who has the most advantage when his father disappears. The biggest force in the Wolf family is also the people who sell medicine.”
“Are you? The hound is responsible for the most direct combat power. Although he suffered a lot of damage in the last battle in the Gray Mountains, he must have revived all his important forces. Wouldn’t you have the most advantage in an all-out war?”
“Everyone knows that the members of the former Hound occupy the top positions in the drug trade and are loyal to their brother.”
The two doubted each other and told each other what they had.
And no conclusion has been reached.
“So. Didn’t you really do it?”
“I really am not. I thought you did it.”
The two of them started discussing different stories without putting down their suspicions about each other.
“Good. So let’s assume there are no culprits among us. What should I do next?”
Daphne said calmly.
“I don’t know who the culprit is, but once I caught my father, I would never let him go. Only the emperor can handle the wrath of a superhuman thief.”
Among all superhumans, superhuman thieves were the most despised, but in reality, superhumans became the most difficult beings when they became enemies.
If you had a superhuman bandit as your enemy, you had to live your whole life being careful about sleeping, eating, and even going to the bathroom.
“Then, will it be difficult for him to come out of the world until he returns to old age?”
“It is very likely.”
“Then should we carry out the plan we talked about earlier?”
Tigris laughed, baring her fangs.
And Daphne calmed her brother down.
“And what if your father comes back?”
“There’s a good chance you won’t come back.”
“But the chances of you coming back are not zero.”
Tigris forced her head to roll, which was not working well for her.
“If you do something useless to eat the family, you will incur your father’s wrath.”
“Yes. Father will be angry if you do more than protect the family.”
Tigris did not want to be the object of her father’s anger.
“Then I really need to check if my father has been kidnapped by someone.”
“Unlike my brother, he used her hair quite a bit. I’ll find out on my own, so check out the information network that her brother also has.”
And the two siblings looked into each other’s eyes.
Until the end, they were checking each other to see if they were the culprit.
**
Jason was sitting quietly in the house, watching the conversation between Tigris and Daphne.
Now, in this family, the people who knew the family business best were Geoffrey the first, Demeter the second, and Jason the third.
Demeter was responsible for managing everyone in the family, gathering the information and passing it on to Geoffrey.
It was only natural that Geoffrey and Demeter knew most of what was going on in their family.
And Jason was the only one of Jeffrey’s children who was kind to the employees.
With that alone, Jason could sit still and listen to this and that information.
Sometimes he would hear information his father didn’t know.
Jason then went to see Idard, who had since become crown prince to hear information that only he could find out.
Idad welcomed Jason, the first-class contributor who made him the crown prince.
“Brother-in-law. Is there a problem?”
“Brother-in-law. There is something I need to discuss urgently.”
“If that’s the case, I can guess.”
Idard has changed a lot in a short period of time.
Before, if I felt coldness somewhere even when I was overly cold and bought people’s crush, now I was relaxed.
That would be the appearance of running the entire empire on behalf of the emperor.
Idad and Jason sat facing each other in the prince’s office.
Idad opened his mouth first.
“Dark Ball suddenly disappeared, right?”
Jason was surprised.
And Idad always seemed happy to be able to surprise Jason after seeing only his outstanding abilities.
“Don’t think it strange. Each of the Empire’s superhumans is an important force for the Empire. In the Empire, we always have a constant grasp. I’m relieved because I don’t interfere with the affairs of the house.”
“As expected, the power of the imperial family is great. The brother-in-law is right. He said his father is missing. In the house overnight.”
“Everyone in the world knows that the Dark Lord is not like that.”
Geoffrey’s greed was known all over the world.
The chances of him leaving everything in the house and disappearing were much lower than the chances of him being kidnapped.
“Even if that’s not the case, after the report came up, I tried to resurrect secretly through the imperial family’s clergy. He said that if the Dark Ball died in an unfortunate accident, he would be able to return. But that didn’t work.”
“The imperial family is really taking care of superhumans.”
“Of course. The Dark Lord is Your Majesty’s close friend and the Empire’s ally.”
And because Idad trusted Jason, he said it outright.
“I am also doing my best to find out if the Dark Ball has been kidnapped by someone.”
“Then did you find out anything?”
“Unfortunately… However, the imperial family continues to investigate. Darkness is important to us too.”
“Then please.”
Jason had no choice but to go back after finding out a few bits of information.
The only one who can move the Knights of the Holy Sword is the Emperor Juthema.
The easiest way to find out who was the culprit who tried to kidnap his father was to meet and ask Emperor Zhu Tema.
However, Jason was not yet in a position to ask the emperor for a private talk and ask him any questions he wanted.
The only thing Jason could do was to meet the crown prince and see if the emperor hadn’t made any special remarks to the crown prince.
“I heard that my father and His Majesty the Emperor were special friends who shared hardships in their youth. Did His Majesty say anything else?”
Even asking this had to be as humble as possible.
Just as the imperial family was not allowed to interfere with the internal affairs of the Wolf family, the Wolf family should not be curious about what was happening in the imperial family.
And fortunately, Adad said he didn’t care too much about whether he really cared for Jason or not.
“His Majesty receives all reports, but leaves everything to the crown prince. He didn’t even bother to tell me that he was asking me to take care of this.”
“Then I will only trust my brother-in-law.”
“Haha. Please. Wouldn’t that be the crown prince position created by your brother-in-law?”
As Jason left the imperial palace, he had many thoughts.
Only the Emperor could move the Holy Sword Knights.
And Emperor Juthema must have heard about the failure of the Holy Sword Knights’ mission.
Then there had to be some kind of response.
The lack of response made me feel even more afraid.
