Chapter 1140 Aiwass: Could the boss be an evil god?
After confirming that Sherlock would not come with them, Aiwass got into the car alone.
"Mr. Norbert, go to 33 Cat's Paw Street."
Aiwass said to the coachman.
"Hey, Master, you're too polite... I'm not a gentleman..."
The coachman was terrified, yet delighted as he responded, "You actually... a big shot like you actually remembers my name..."
This coachman, who looked to be in his early forties, was naturally also a member of the Vendôme family.
Aiwass had been in and out of the Vendôme family many times as a distinguished guest and "Miss Anne's illegitimate son", and had long been a familiar face among the servants.
Although he was an illegitimate child, he was now the Prince of Avalon and the former Pope of the Theocracy! A legitimate figure, far more prestigious than some "good master." Addressing him as "young master" was even considered a step down in his generation.
Not only does he not have a bad temper, he is also so kind and gentle...
The coachman Norbert still remembered that when he first met Master Aiwass, he was very kind and helped him cure his chronic leg pain.
It was a completely different technique from the pastors he'd seen rubbing their hands around patients—just looking at him sent a surge of warmth through him. Not only was his leg pain instantly healed, but even the back and shoulder pain he'd grown so accustomed to, like pain he'd lost, was also cured. His entire vision became clearer.
The muscles in his legs swelled, his bulging abdomen shrank, and his thick neck became thinner.
At that moment, Norbert knew... this is what a healthy body feels like.
He had long been accustomed to that rotten body, but he didn't know that it was actually a sick body.
...like an iris.
The Moon Child controlled the upper echelons and the wealthy, and the powerful hired assassins against each other. Walking down the street, a wallet could vanish at any moment; taking a child out for a stroll, the child could vanish without warning. Keeping things at home wasn't safe, not even in a safe. Even leaving jewelry in a bank could be robbed and stolen, with no compensation offered. If a child ran away or returned home too late from work, they risked being captured by the Moon Child and made into a slave...
If it weren't for Aiwass chatting with him, Norbert wouldn't have known that this was actually a kind of pathology.
He thought this was life.
And during these few days, he also learned from Aiwass and Isabel about the suffering of people in other countries—
He had just learned that people in the ancient Parthian Empire could actually starve to death. He had also just learned that even performing an opera or printing a novel in Avalon required months of censorship, and that even saying the wrong thing in public, offending the royal family's honor, could result in imprisonment. At the height of Star Antimony's chaos, even the police and military were unemployed, and the noble Count of the Moon Son would print counterfeit money to win over talent, even going so far as to make the entire city's circulating currency counterfeit...
"—This is unbelievable, Master!"
Norbert could only marvel at this.
He felt like he was about to turn into a machine that could only say this one sentence.
And Aiwass would just laugh and tell a new story with great enthusiasm.
But today, Aiwass looked like he had something on his mind and didn't say much.
"Are you worried about something?" Norbert asked with concern.
"No, nothing." Aiwass shook his head and glanced to his side.
——This morning, when Aiwas went out, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
He immediately became alert.
There is no doubt that there can be no problem with Aiwass's health.
Therefore, if he continues to have this reaction, there should be only two possibilities - either he is being cursed with a powerful curse, but it is blocked by the extraordinary characteristics of his "dissolving soul".
Or, someone has been secretly watching him with ill intentions.
Aiwass had no sense of anyone around him. Even though neither the Great Sin Scholar nor the Illuminator were classes that particularly enhanced their Inspiration attributes, he had no premonition of impending danger. Instead, his body itself felt unwell...
If it's the latter, then there's clearly a big problem.
It's like the brain tells itself that the glass of water is drinkable, but the body feels inexplicably uncomfortable when it sees it, and will spit it out as soon as it drinks it.
The man's murderous intent was obscured. This is what's known as "the veil of the heavens"—there was no way to sense the murderous intent, no way to realize the danger. Even if one could predict the future or use astrology, they would only see a hint that "all is well."
If that's the case, then there's probably only one reason.
——The person staring at him is a fifth-level assassin master.
Even after I entered the carriage, he kept staring at me... Was he trying to assassinate me?
But... why? He hadn't offended Hawkeye at all; he'd even benefited them. Given Hawkeye's fear, they wouldn't dare attempt another assassination attempt on Aiwass, as that would only lead to catastrophic consequences.
But never mind.
Hawkeye Assassin's stealth ability is a product of Shadow Fiend. In this situation, all you need to do is summon Venis.
But that might make a bit of a commotion—Aivaz currently summons the holy sword Clarent, which he carries at his waist, and switching would be a bit troublesome... After all, the little crow is somewhat ostentatious. And when Venis appears, it will cause a rain of blood, and an extremely surging corrupted power will gush out...
In order not to alert the enemy, Aiwass chose another method.
——That is the advanced divine art.
Aiwass directly summoned the boss, the pillar god who adapted to the path.
No matter how awesome your stealth skills are, they are of no use to me because I have directly contacted your immediate superior!
Truly the best of the best, the best of the best!
Aiwass did not chat with the coachman because there was another person here - the Lord of Scales and Feathers who appeared in the form of an illusion. At this moment, Aiwass was sitting opposite him in his field of vision, and Aiwass was communicating with Him.
"—Master Assassin?"
Aiwass asked in his heart: "Why did he look for me?"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers, dressed in a black suit and gloves, with a nebula where his head should be, laughed heartily. "Who told you to kill my genius granddaughter? She reached the pinnacle of the fourth energy level at the age of twenty-four, possessing both desire and knowledge. All she needed was a promotion ceremony to reach the fifth energy level and become a master assassin—and yet you skinned her alive."
"Now, the assassin family of Siliaix, which has been passed down for over two hundred years, has officially become extinct."
"...Chloe?"
Aiwass quickly recalled the name. That beautiful girl with caramel-colored hair and a voice as sweet as the female anchor of Arcane Blade.
His memory was not very good, but the female assassin whose voice and image were taken away by the Shadow Demon really left a deep impression on Aiwas.
Mainly because when the Shadow Demon was hiding in the shadow under Aiwass's wheelchair, she suddenly followed him in.
At that time, Aiwass was a little nervous.
At first, Aiwass's control over Shadow Fiend wasn't strong enough. Shadow Fiend was clearly enraged by this behavior—Shadow Stealth was originally an ability Adaptation Dao had stolen from Shadow Fiend, and now he was getting so close to Shadow Fiend that he saw this behavior as a clear provocation.
This is like in the comment section of a novel author who has been plagiarized or followed the trend, there appears a sentence "Your writing is not good in this and that area, go and take a look at a certain book, it is written better than yours", but then you go over and take a look and find out that it is the author who plagiarized yours.
At the time, Aiwass had merely shot her away, never laying a hand on her. Technically, she'd come looking for death, only to be automatically skinned by the Shadow Fiend. This had nothing to do with Aiwass, who hadn't even known she was that strong—a twenty-four-year-old at the critical fifth energy level?
"No," Aiwass said, clearly puzzled. "He's almost extinct, and yet he's sending his granddaughter out on a mission? A young, fourth-level genius isn't being kept at home, but being sent to a foreign country on a special mission?"
"It's just to gain experience. After all, once you're promoted, you'll be a Master Assassin... But you're being promoted so quickly, you have no experience at all. You've only been on duty for three years and you've already reached Master Assassin, and you're the granddaughter of the current Master Assassin. Who can accept that?"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said cheerfully, "But her mission, in fact, is only to 'distribute Dracula and publicize the dangers of the Moon Child.' At most, she can also add 'find the location of the red-handled sword.'
"The mission assigned to that guy called Bone Sculptor was actually completed long ago. After returning to Iris, that mission will become 'eradicate the Moon Child and its potential allies in the neighboring country.' It's only because you shot that young lady that she's dissatisfied that she came looking for you at night."
"I knew that being promoted too quickly would easily lead to arrogance... So, it was her grandfather who came to see me?"
Aiwass sighed: "I knew this day would come."
"If you ask me, you'd better let that little shadow demon out. Have her transform into his granddaughter and speak in her granddaughter's voice... maybe shout out her last words before dying or something. Maybe she'll get a second stage."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said maliciously, "Don't you want to watch it? The unpredictable stage of fate... I really want to watch it."
"This...this is not necessary."
Ai Hua was immediately shocked: "This is too immoral!"
The boss has such a bad taste!
——No, are you really a righteous god?
Why does it sound like a great evil god who is eager to create chaos in the world?
Update completed!
I have to take a flight tomorrow, so I’ll take a day off!
I've decided to bring my laptop with me. I won't be going out to play, but will be busy typing away in the hotel, trying not to take any leave this month! However, I'll definitely have to take leave on the first and second days of next month. I have a busy day on the first, and a flight on the second...
