The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button Chapter 177 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [27]

177. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [27]

I turned a sharp glare towards Zack, who proposed to cooperate.

「You kidnapped Ria… and you want to believe you?」

Around August of last year, he abducted Ria and confined her.

He seems to be sheltering us for so reason now, but he’s not soone you can trust so easily.

「Zahaha! What an oppressive, cold, fearso bloodlust! In the small ti since we last t, you seem to have gone through a lot of fierce battles!」

Zack put on a belligerent smile, and replied with his own sharp glare.

And then, just when the atmosphere between us was reaching critical point,

「I think it will be okay.」

「Ri, Ria…!?」

An unexpected person defended Zack.

「Listen, Allen. When I was confined in the Phantom Spirit Laboratory with both hands and feet restrained, there was a researcher who… tried to do strange things to .」

「…What?!」

This is the first I’m hearing of it.

(Strange things,” she says?)

Judging from her hesitation to say it, I’m sure he was trying to misbehave with her.

(To humiliate Ria who was bound… What nerve!!!)

As blood rushed to my head, murky darkness began to creep out of my body.

「W-Wait, Allen! So kind of darkness I’ve never seen before is pouring out of you! I appreciate your feelings, but calm down! At that ti, his attempt was cut down at the last minute, so nothing happened to !」Ria flusteredly tried to calm down.

「Is that so… I am glad.」

As I heaved a sigh of relief, Ria continued her story.

「W-Well, what I’m trying to say is that… Zack saved from being attacked by that researcher.」

「Zahahaha, I guess sothing like that happened too. It feels so nostalgic now… Puha!」

Zack opened a second bottle of sake and poured the bubbling sake down his throat.

「I won’t go so far as to say he is a good guy, but I don’t think he’s a bad guy by nature. Even now, he is hiding us, so… Can’t we rely on him now?」Ria suggested, with a serious expression.

「…Hmm, maybe.」

If what Ria said is true, it seems that this guy is just a surface villain.

(Co to think of it, Zack was a『forr Holy Knight』, right?)

He didn’t tell why he defected from Holy Knight to the Black Organization, but… there must be no doubt that he used to be a man of justice.

(As Ria says, accepting his cooperation might be the best case here.)

This room we are in now is the residential quarters for general mbers; the tenth floor of Belios Castle.

It would be unrealistic to sneak out of the castle without the cooperation of soone on the『inside』.

「Will you hear out, Zack?」

「Zahaha, of course, I don’t mind! I am very interested in what the『Extraordinary Sparkle』ca to the Empire for! Let hear it!」

So I decided to briefly explain the current situation in order to get the cooperation of my forr enemy, Zack Bomber.
