"Everyone, you should all understand the situation by now, right? I have always been completely loyal to Marley, but the ones in power there don't trust at all~" Ebson showed a regretful expression.
The people in front of Ebson all had different looks on their faces. Bill turned his head aside and smoked, Litt looked completely indifferent, Ivanor simply wasn't listening to Ebson at all and kept clinging to Airi while talking. Airi had a bitter expression, trying to shake off the clingy Ivanor while also carefully listening to what Ebson was saying.
Bazel, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as if listening seriously, while Newt kept his head lowered the entire ti, his face impossible to see.
"So, Marley has truly disappointed . Not just toward —even toward you warriors who fight for them, Marley is also cruel and heartless." Ebson continued his impassioned speech.
Litt couldn't help but interrupt, "Alright, Doctor, just say what you want to say. Since we're all here, we already know what we're supposed to do."
Ebson was interrupted, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he revealed a faint smile, a trace of red electric arcs flashing through his eyes, almost imperceptible.
"Although I am also a Marleyan, I am different from the others. I have never believed that Eldians are descendants of demons.
In my view, Eldians, who possess this miraculous bloodline, are a gift from heaven to humanity—angels ant to lead mankind toward future evolution! So, everyone, my goal is to lead you, and lead humanity, toward a new future. In that future, Eldians will no longer be seen as demons, but as angels who bring rebirth to mankind!"
As Ebson spoke, he turned his gaze toward Litt.
"Wars between humans will also disappear. No small nation will be destroyed just because of the greed of a great power."
Upon hearing this, Litt's fists clenched tightly. Originally, Litt had been a prince of the small nation Sur, but simply because his country was built near a mineral deposit, greedy Marley found an excuse to wipe it out. His entire family died tragically in concentration camps.
Marley's excuse was nothing more than the fact that Litt's family carried a trace of Eldian blood, falsely accusing Sur of colluding with the Eldian Restorationists within Marley.
Thus, Litt's hatred toward Marley was etched into his bones.
Ebson continued, "And no one will die from hunger…"
Bazel, who had been calm, suddenly changed expression. He, too, had painful mories he didn't wish to revisit. Because of his own gluttony, he had eaten the last life-saving food at ho. His father had no choice but to go out begging for food on a snowy night, only to freeze to death in an alley.
However, Ebson's words did not move Ivanor at all. She could only be considered half an Eldian. For over ten years before, she had lived in a Far Eastern country, and before being found by Ebson, she didn't even know she had Eldian blood. Her drunkard father had no affection for her at all—he sold her off for just ten gold coins.
anwhile, as he listened to Ebson's grand rhetoric, Newt, who had his head lowered, showed a sowhat twisted expression. It was all because of him—because of his selfishness—he had ruined his wife.
Listening to Ebson, Airi grew more and more shocked. The information hidden in his words was far too rich. From the way Ebson was speaking, his ambitions were definitely not small. Of course, Airi had heard from Yago before about so of the things Ebson had done, so she didn't believe for a second that he was as righteous as he claid.
Ebson's round of brainwashing didn't seem to have much effect, judging from everyone's expressions. But the corner of his mouth twitched slightly—he didn't care whether these people were sincere or not. They were nothing more than tools to him anyway.
"Doctor, how is my wife?" Newt finally couldn't hold back and stepped forward to question Ebson.
Ebson frowned slightly, then relaxed and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Newt. Anna is recovering quite well now."
Newt raised his head. So color returned to his pale face. He didn't say much, only squeezing out three words through clenched teeth, "That's good…"
However, when he turned and left, the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched tightly, veins bulging.
"Still lying to ! Ebson, I won't let you get away with this!" Flas of anger flickered in Newt's pupils.
...
Yago stood by the window, utterly bored, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a long ti, he sat down at the desk and absentmindedly rummaged through the drawers.
"This is!?" Yago suddenly froze. His eyes instantly beca vacant, as if a current had suddenly surged through his brain, his whole body trembling.
Looking at the photograph in his hand, Yago couldn't believe his eyes. In the two photos, one showed a pair of young, handso twin brothers, expressionless, their faces sowhat serious, dressed in suits.
The other photo showed two handso young n smiling brightly. One of them, although wearing glasses, had a face Yago would never forget in his life—that was Ebson!
What shocked Yago even more was that the man beside Ebson was also one of the twin brothers from the other photo. But unlike the serious, suit-wearing version in the twin photo—
In the photo with Ebson, the man's suit was loose and casual, and his expression was full of joy. He casually rested a hand on Ebson's shoulder, while Ebson instead looked sowhat restrained.
"This person… who is he?" Yago muttered, his gaze unfocused. The man's brows and eyes felt extrely familiar—so familiar it was like looking into a mirror.
"Norman…?"
