Alien world

Chapter 99. 98. The Indestructible Alliance

"Fake! Fake! Fake!"

The shouts of the crowd outside the manor entered the room.

Annan by the window closed the window to block the noise outside, turned around and said to everyone in the study: "They have been gathering outside since early morning."

"You have something to do with them for bringing us together?" asked François.

The Wine Lady, Michael, Soluman Bronzebeard, and Andrew Luna sat around the study, and even Katarina and Klein were here.

Annan nodded.

I violated the agreement with Augusta Olmedo, which means that there is no more fragile trust between them.

From now on, the only thing Annan can rely on is his companions around him—these people in front of him.

But before that, Annan wants to be frank and honest with his friends who are still kept in the dark.

Lies are allowed among friends, but there should be no deception.Annan didn't want to use them, so he had to eliminate "the grudge brought about by lies."

However, Francois mistook them for those people outside the manor: "They are not refugees. As residents of Breeze City, they have the right to stay outside. If we rashly disperse them, they may attract criticism...but if you need me, I can drive them away." Let them go."

"The problem isn't them themselves, it's—"

From the corner of Annan's eyes, he saw a carriage parked outside the manor, and the golden emblem of the Olmedo family was shining.

Augusta Olmedo who came to threaten?
Annan watched the carriage parked in front of the main entrance, and a figure with long light blond hair stepped out of the carriage.

Or Olmedo who came to show off?

"Let Olmedo wait for me downstairs." Annan said to Abby outside the door, and said to his companions in the study: "Olmedo is here, I'll go down and have a look."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Francois asked.

"No, he came to see me."

Annan came downstairs.Olmedo stood in the sun, admiring the oil paintings on the wall.

"I thought you would keep a distance from me." Annan stepped down the steps.

Olmedo's gaze fell from the oil painting to Annan's vaguely alert black eyes: "It was my father who gathered the group outside, not me."

"Father may not be right, and you may not be wrong. Stay on the sidelines before drawing conclusions, and don't let the decision be driven by emotions. This is the character that a leader should have."

"so?"

"I want to join your team."

Annan stepped down the last step and sat on the sofa: "Your father took my friend away."

"He will be fine, I promise." Olmedo came to Annan: "I understand my father. He only wants stability, not chaos."

"The premise is that he is not persistent in thinking that I will cause chaos."

Annan couldn't trust Augusta Olmedo who took Martin away, but he felt ambiguous about the young castellan: "You should know, I'm just an imposter."

"And it's still unknown? It doesn't matter." Olmedo sat on the sofa and gently moved his legs together gracefully. "You want to find out who attacked the King of the North, and I want to find out who threatened Breeze City." Exist, we have the same purpose."

"You are the biggest beneficiary of this matter...Why do you believe that I will believe you?"

Olmedo took a raven badge from his pocket and placed it on the armrest of the sofa.

"A just, unselfish scavenger."

Olmedo has many identities - a family standing on the standpoint of the old aristocrats, the lord of Breeze City, and a visitor to the Mage Tower, and has an inexplicable relationship with the Scavenger.Now, he also wants to join Annan's team.

"I like to join each organization, feel their position, understand their complexity, and realize that the world is not simply right and wrong."

As if feeling Annan's doubts, the magnetic voice like a speech said slowly: "Everyone is complicated and contradictory. Good people will emerge with conspiracies, and bad people will have kindness in their hearts... Finding the reasons for their appearance is what I am learning .”

"Then when you find out that the Olmedo family is threatening the Breeze City you guard—"

"I will stand on the side of Breeze City." Olmedo did not hesitate.

"Stand up," Annan said.

Olmedo's handsome face showed some embarrassment, and he wanted to say something, but Annan had already stepped upstairs.

"follow me."

Annan, who was standing outside the door, met everyone's gaze: "I want to introduce a newcomer who wants to join us... Olmedo."

Annan stepped aside to open the door.

The elegant Olmedo stood in front of the door, his gaze swept across the crowd, and he paused on Klein's armor.

"I'm Jeffrey Olmedo, and you can call me by my first name. Please allow me to confess that I have investigated you before and know your identities...I hope this will not become a problem for us to work together."

Michael broke the silence: "I have no problem."

"As long as you don't let this sissy be the leader." Katarina snorted coldly.

The attitude of "It doesn't matter" is the majority, and the only Francois and the wine lady are just hesitant.

But then Annan announced one thing to them:

"I'm not Levi's Reeves."

The study fell into an astonishing silence, except for Olmedo, who was not surprised.

"You don't have to worry..." said François.

"I'm not angry. I'm really not Levi's Reeves, and I'm not from the Reeves family." Annan revealed the truth calmly, "It's all a misunderstanding."

"I don't understand...you just announced your identity from the square..."

Annan told them in the banquet hall that the next day, Augusta Olmedo came to the manor and made an agreement with him to "let Annan get rid of his status as the king of the North".

Michael's emotions became complicated because it happened not long after he left.

"Until the night before, I was ready to tell the truth. But in my dream, I seemed to see a boy who looked like me and Levi's. He told me not to back down."

"Then I told myself that when I no longer play the role of the King of the North, I will be extremely vulnerable. The Winchet family will disintegrate, the shame of the Lundsey family will never be washed away, and the truth about the Reeves family will never be revealed..."

"But I don't want to deceive you... trust is strong and fragile."

"I didn't have feelings for you at first, but now I like you a little bit, kid."

Katharina said with a broken voice appreciatively.

Annan's frankness did not reap the consequences - they all stayed.

Ning peacefully looked around at his companions in the study.

Ms. Wine, a family in danger; François, a notorious nobleman; Michael, a mage who should have been neutral.Della, an elf with a strange personality; Klein, a knight with a mysterious identity.Katarina, a fanatic of the evil god.

And Olmedo... the suspected murderer's son.

"Sweetheart, how are you going to tell the Reeves family the truth?" Ms. Wine asked emotionally.

Annan's black eyes fell on Firecrow on the window sill: "After everything is over, I will let Levi Reeves travel far away...give them a less sad ending."
