Eva, now hearing Christian as he began ntioning many things, felt her initial impression that sothing was wrong finally fade away and instead focused on what he was saying.
"Also, we can create a false identity. Well, I'm saying false, but with hacking, it will beco real."
"Anyway, here cos the most important thing."
"Even though you might say we're running away, it's not like we're heading to so jungle, pitching a tent, and living primitively."
"No, we're just going to a place where no one would recognize us. Then, go and inform the Infinitel company or the Ashvale family."
'Well, it's mostly you, as I don't think I've beco that famous yet.'
While looking at Eva, Christian couldn't help but have a few thoughts before continuing to speak.
"After moving away from here, we're going to live normally, comfortably… like nothing would really change. Even though I don't think I'll go outside the house much, I still don't like feeling restricted, after all."
"And for the house, I'd prefer it to be very big, if possible, with a very large basent that could beco my workplace, as I have sothing in mind."
"If a basent isn't possible, then a house with a warehouse beside it would work. If that's also not possible, then at least a piece of land."
"Also, you'll need to figure out how we can secure the place with Iris's help later. I don't want us to be traced just because we bought a property rashly."
While Eva felt a little uncomfortable, knowing he was referring to her in parts of his talk, Christian continued.
"Then, where are we going?"
"I think it's better if we avoid crowded cities. With the situation of people transforming and losing their sanity, these incidents will naturally happen more often where there are more people. After all, I also think this phenonon will increase with ti, and in those places, sooner or later, you'll co across one."
"Of course, that wouldn't change even in an unpopulated city or the countryside. It's just that the possibility would be lower."
"So, it's still better this way, right?"
Without waiting for an answer, christian continued, "Anyway, we'll move to other places later on, after I've grown a lot stronger."
"Moreover, what I really want to emphasize is that with the increase in people, the chances of us running into soone from an ancient family or soone from outside this world could rise."
He paused for a mont, making sure they were paying attention.
"What do I an by that?" He raised an eyebrow and then pointed out, "It's naturally about where the Academy is located!"
Catching on to his intention, Eva replied, "Because it's close to Washington, D.C.?"
"Exactly," after affirming her dramatically, Christian continued.
"These dangerous people are gathered there, so naturally, we need to be as far away as possible."
With his gaze that beca more serious, he said, "Because honestly, for , they are the most terrifying possible opponents."
Christian, who was increasingly preoccupied with thoughts about these people, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable just thinking about all kind of possibilities regarding them.
"People who are able to co from outside this world… think carefully, how did they get here?"
Christian, feeling that it would probably take a very long ti for him to be able to face these people, even with the Idle System, asked. Then, without waiting for an unexisting answer, he continued.
"Even with all the advancents in technology, the trip to outer space is still difficult and barely possible under all kinds of conditions. But for these people who can travel to other worlds, what kind of force is behind them?"
"Do you really think they have pure intentions?"
Christian, with a gloomy expression, said, "If you were to find a gold mine and think it's now yours, but then, after starting to mine, you discover there's a caveman living there, making the mine his ho."
"Would you acknowledge that? When there's all that profit to be made?"
"If you're soone principled, civilized, you'd probably just give him another house and ask him nicely to move away."
"But if you're soone who doesn't care, and you have the power to kill the caveman?" Continue reading at empire
"Then you'd just get rid of the caveman and be done with it."
"In the first place, you, as soone from the twenty-first century in this modern world, are you really able to hold a conversation with that caveman, who doesn't know anything?"
"Would you really acknowledge his rights?"
"I think our problem with these people is like this: we're the caven, and they're the modernized ones."
Christian, who thought the example he set couldn't be more fitting, praised himself before adding, "Anyway, there are many suspicious things about them, so it's really best that we try not to get entangled with them."
While Christian painted a dark picture with his negative thoughts, Eva and Annabelle, who had their own thoughts too, took everything with a pinch of salt and decided not to comnt on this particular matter.
Then, with the room now silent after he finished speaking, everyone was left to reflect on their own thoughts for so ti, and after a while, Annabelle, brushing her hair back with her hand, finally broke the silence and asked, "Is there anything else to take note of?"
Christian paused for a mont before replying, "Probably not, but if I think of anything else, I'll let you know imdiately."
"Anyway, I'm leaving things to BOTH of you."
Christian, knowing that his sister alone wouldn't be enough, especially if he didn't assist her completely, gave special attention to the word "Both," hoping they worked together properly.
Finally, he stood up and walked toward Eva, who was looking at Annabelle as if intending to say sothing. He pulled her toward him and said, "Well, we still have so things to discuss alone, so you can do that afterward."
Annabelle couldn't help but feel her mood disturbed by the current scene, knowing how he probably ant he wanted to talk in a more physical way. And knowing it would likely be a long ti before they took another step in their relationship, she felt jealous. But not wanting to interrupt him a second ti, she imdiately left the living room on her own.
Christian sent his sister an apologetic gaze, which she didn't see, before looking at Eva, whose cheeks were already slightly tinted red., and said again, "Should we go to my room?"
