Captulo 1658: Chapter 99: The Night Before, Part 2
With a low shout from Jason, a man erged from the shadows ford by the courtyard’s outer walls, trees, and moonlight, hands raised high.
The person was deliberately disguised, his clothes and shoes were ordinary, and his face was also adorned. Not just a fake mustache, he also wore a wig that covered most of his face.
However, even with these disguises, Jason recognized him at a glance.
San!
The official who took over from Duke and assud charge of Lorde’s ‘Mystical Side’.
He traveled with us by train to Terter.
He could be considered a staunch supporter of ‘Sewock the Seventh.’
Of course!
To them, he could not be considered a friend.
"San?!”
"You dare show up here?!”
Taniel also recognized San, and his face imdiately showed anger.
This teacher from Deer Academy, the second advisor of the Lorde police departnt, in his more than twenty years of life, could not accept three things.
Firstly, the death of the old sir.
Secondly, the ever-unwanted mory of ‘looking up at the starry sky.’
The third was San’s dismissive ‘betrayal.’
Without hesitation, Taniel took out the revolver he carried with him.
Faced with the gun muzzle, the disguised San appeared calm.
In fact, when he decided to co here, he had already disregarded life and death.
"Sorry, Taniel.”
"I can’t say words of forgiveness.”
"I don’t have the nerve for that.”
"But there is one thing I must tell Mr. Jason.”
After speaking, San looked at Jason.
There was both pleading and expectation in his gaze.
"I promise, you won’t regret hearing this.”
San emphasized.
"Won’t regret it?”
"Maybe it’s you who won’t regret it?”
"Your appearance here, isn’t it because you had no other way? So you ca to try your luck?”
Taniel sneered, exposing the trick in the other’s words.
Taniel might not have been exceedingly smart, but he wasn’t stupid either.
He had a basic understanding of the environnt he was in and recent events.
San was a staunch royalist.
That was beyond doubt.
So, with the death of ‘Sewock the Seventh,’ San naturally beca a stray dog.
In the capital, Terter, there was no longer a place for him.
He might even have been hunted.
As soone who was once part of the ‘Mystical Side’ official personnel, Taniel was well aware of the habits of these so-called ‘Mystical Side’ officials—they were definitely not friendly. ℞₳𝐍𝐨ＢƐ𝙎
Offending so people was almost certain.
In ordinary tis, there was no need to be afraid.
But at this ti?
Ha.
Seeing San’s embarrassed appearance, even after his disguise, Taniel sneered.
Just as he had said earlier.
The other was here to try his luck.
Like a drowning person clutching at a straw.
Regardless of the outco, he had to grab it!
Taniel was very certain.
Which made him even more disdainful.
San stayed silent.
It seed Taniel had it right.
About two seconds later, the forr official head of Lorde’s ‘Mystical Side’ said to Jason, “I want to talk to you alone.”
In response to such words, Taniel laughed.
And Jason?
He stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Did he still need to choose under the current situation?
One was a comrade through thick and thin.
One was an ally who had betrayed him.
Just because the other adopted a mysterious pose, he would choose the latter?
Only a fool would make that choice.
"Taniel, do you want sothing?”
Jason asked as he walked.
"Anything will do.”
"Fries, chicken wings, onion rings are all fine.”
Taniel replied.
The two’s casual conversation made San a little at a loss—he had speculated about what kind of reception he might encounter, and this was definitely not the worst situation.
The worst would have been if Jason attacked him at first sight.
But now, he would rather face the worst scenario.
Because what lay before him was the most difficult situation.
Mistrust!
"I really have extrely important news to tell Mr. Jason.”
"This ti, I am not lying.”
San emphasized.
But Jason and Taniel remained unmoved.
This made the forr official personnel of Lorde’s ‘Mystical Side’ anxious.
He stood outside the courtyard, at a loss.
After more than ten seconds, San took out a pen and paper and began to write.
"This is what I wanted to tell you.”
"I have written it down.”
"Whether you want to read it or not is your freedom.”
"And…”
San clearly wanted to say sothing more, but in the end, he shook his head, placed the note at the courtyard gate, and said, “Goodbye.”
With that, the forr official personnel turned and left.
His steps were hesitant.
Several tis he wanted to look back.
But he couldn’t.
Jason and Taniel just watched him leave apathetically.
After San disappeared, Jason and Taniel exchanged a glance before Jason disappeared.
The note at the courtyard gate disappeared along with him.
Only Taniel was left sitting there, yelling toward the kitchen.
"Matthew, do you want more food?”
"I’m a bit hungry.”
…
San walked quickly toward the outside of Zhengli Tree Street, his head down and hat covering part of his face.
He did what he could.
What next?
He could only resign himself to fate.
Death?
He was prepared for it.
Just…
He hoped it wouldn’t be too painful.
San’s special talent as a ‘Diviner’ all made him feel that his death was imminent.
