Chapter 76: The Unfathomable Savior!

Inside the banquet hall.

The head of the Augustus household, Maryse's father, Reno the Strategist, stood in a corner of the banquet conversing with his two old companions, Kesu and Bernard.

Kesu is a tall and thin man with black beard and black hair. He wears gold-rimmed glasses and looks like a scholar.

Bernard, on the other hand, had a round and plump figure. His face bore a harmless smile and his clothes shimmered with golden light, giving off an extravagant and luxurious aura. His ten fingers were adorned with precious jewels.

Kesu and Bernard are important figures in the two major families of Tatsumi City, just like the Augustus family. These two families also have great power and monopolize the foreign trade import and export industry and agricultural products industry of Tatsumi City, respectively.

Just like how the head of the Augustus family monopolized the medical pharmaceutical industry, the five major families of the Platinum Zone actually control the economic lifeline of this city. Not only do they monopolize at least one industry each, but they also attempt to embrace every aspect of industries including petroleum and chemical, military industry, communication, media, finance, banking, tobacco, and various other fields.

Although the five families were not the official rulers of Tatsumi City, they were indeed the real economic leaders. The nominal "King" of Tatsumi City was more concerned with the Air Alliance Conference and constantly remained in the "City of the Highest" to garner more support from proxy alliance leaders.

For many years, "the king" rarely returned to the city that belonged to him.

Among the five prominent families, the families represented by Bernard and Kesu have a good relationship with the Augustus family. The other two families, with whom relations are strained, didn't even send representatives to attend this banquet.

Reno remained silent for a moment, his gaze as deep and profound as ever.

He spoke up and said, "Regarding the matter of the 'Babel Tower', how do you all perceive it?"

Tall and thin Kesu shook his head and said, "They are just a bunch of clowns, not worth mentioning. It's too much for Demon Hunt Agency to even call in the Imperial Guards of the Eyes of the Empire. Heh, I think it's really excessive."

He pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "However, I do hope that the Imperial Guards can lend us a hand and at least help us deal with the 'Pastor'."

The plump Bernard also laughed and said, "The person who came is the 'Emperor', and I heard that he has always had strong opinions against the aristocratic system. I don't understand why he would stay at Eyes of the Empire to serve the kings if he really has so many opinions."

"The Babel Tower is not some kind of clown."

Reno seemingly had no interest in discussing the "Emperor", as he solemnly redirected the conversation towards focusing more on the Babel Tower.

"They will eventually try to control every corner of this city, which is worth our vigilance."

The two aristocrats, Kesu and Burnard, both stood there in confusion.

Bernard's chubby face wrinkled slightly and he shook his head, "Well, you are overestimating them. As it seems now, these people are just opposing the cultists, it doesn't affect us at all."

Kesu nodded, wanting to speak, when suddenly a gentle voice interrupted him.

"Father, there is something I must tell you."

The eldest son of the Augustus family, the elegant Phoenix, walked over. He had a gentle smile that was completely different from his father's, and people would feel close to him just by looking at him.

"Sorry."

Reno nodded and walked aside with Phoenix alone.

"What's the matter?"

Phoenix hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Father, recently I found some irregularities in the accounts... Is there any connection between White Night Pharmaceutical and you?"

"White Night Pharmaceutical?"

Reno furrowed his brow slightly and nodded, saying, "Indeed, this is a company I established a few years ago, dedicated to the research of drugs for neuro-related diseases. Abner has been responsible for managing it all along."

Abner is the uncle of Phoenix and Maryse, and also the younger brother of Reno.

He is a renowned pianist, but in the family, he has always been considered a peripheral figure in terms of power.

Phoenix's breathing was a bit heavy, and as he looked at the guests coming and going, he whispered:

"Umm?"

Phoenix was taken aback for a moment, and he suddenly looked up.

Suddenly... a beautiful girl's figure gradually emerged near the wall.

So familiar, but somewhat unfamiliar...

"It is you, Maryse!"

Phoenix recognized his sister, and suddenly his expression changed as if he had instantly realized many things.

[So it was you who did it...]

He immediately spoke, "I am aware of father's recent decision regarding you, and I am also quite helpless in the matter. However, there is no one in the clan who can challenge the head of the family's decision. Nevertheless, I empathize fully with your resistance."

"However, regardless of the situation, should we not refrain from retaliating against innocent individuals? Your niece is absolutely blameless."

Maryse gazed silently at her older brother, without uttering a single word.

The sound of wind and rain entered into her ears, and Phoenix's throat moved as he fully understood his younger sister's frightening nature.

[Such a terrifying talent, akin to a grotesque monster.]

[I am not an opponent]

[In that case, I can only temporarily comply with her.]

Phoenix slowly raised both hands and calmly promised, "I can be controlled by you, but you must also promise not to retaliate against my daughter. You can make me do anything... Maryse, can you hear the voice of my heart, and know that I am not deceiving you."

[You know what I think, and I can guess your purpose.]

[I won't cast the alarm spell. How about it?]

Maryse remained expressionless and didn't utter a single word.

This kind of father-daughter relationship touched her deeply...and made her feel a bit envious.

Phoenix tensed up, even thinking that negotiations had collapsed, but at that moment his gaze gradually became vacant.

There is a chance to use the alarm spell in these few seconds.

However, Phoenix gave up and allowed his younger sister to take control of his mind.

Maryse piloted Phoenix out of the room, leaving the little baby still asleep on the bed, blissfully unaware and serene.

Mu Ling awaited Maryse's appearance from the nearby shadow.

However, at this moment, Mu Ling was also unable to act autonomously, silently watching as "Psychic Dancer" approached with an unfamiliar elf.

Mu Ling thought to herself, "I see, is this task being completed by me and her together?"

Although it was a private transaction, the Savior still rendered his "verdict", as expected, the Augustus family has some issues.

Subsequently, the three of them proceeded to the study together.

On the road, Maryse's heart could not calm down for a long time.

Initially, she was worried about how to solve the problem of the alarm spell, and even feared that the "Savior" would directly manipulate her and "Nightsaber" to kill relentlessly.

Despite hating her family, Maryse still didn't want to personally slaughter her siblings.

However, it now appears that the situation is going smoothly, as Phoenix surrenders of his own accord.

Perhaps the Savior has already known everything, and it seems that he can really glimpse fate and grasp the future!

It's really unfathomable!
