Chapter 402: Fifty-two, Miss Hevnia… Hurry up_3
“Indeed,” Cesar nodded, smiling as he spoke, “But it can enhance our strength, making hunting and harvesting easier for us, just like how primitive men found hunting simpler with fire and spears, right? If we continue searching , we’ll eventually obtain the note that qualifies us to participate in the ceremony. To my knowledge, among the teams coming to subdue me this time, there is a Third Note whose note is not too bad.”
“You are already capable of doing it yourself, why then do you want to cooperate with me?”
“I already mentioned this point, the things two people can accomplish together far exceed what one can do alone,” Cesar said. “Hunting and gathering, remember?”
“What does gathering mean?” Miss Hevnia asked, then immediately understood, “Could it be…”
“It seems you’ve thought of it,” Cesar said with a smile. “Just like the young Miss of the Lawrence family, isn’t she a result of gathering?”
Miss Hevnia fell silent for a while and then said, “Orenna is dead. Do you think the people here will still be crazily pursuing ascension?”
“Why wouldn’t they?” replied Cesar. “Trust me, Miss Hevnia. More than Orenna’s death, what they care about is the success of Orenna’s Ascension.”
“Even Orenna, who comes from nobility, was so eager to ascend, not to mention those of lesser origins?”
“Those Silver Ranks coming from the Seed District with commoner backgrounds, do you think they wouldn’t crave to become Golden?”
“Do you think they would miss this once-in-twenty-years opportunity that can change their fate?”
“They won’t miss it, Miss Hevnia.”
“Just as sunflowers always strain towards the sun, so foolishly trying to stand upright.”
“And what you need to do is use a sickle to cut down their upright bodies, to sever their sun-like heads, to take away their sunshine.”
“It’s just that simple.”
Cesar’s smile grew even brighter.
“And me, I’ll be responsible for hunting outside, simultaneously distracting those people’s attention and energy. They will have to guard against me, thereby neglecting you. With this, no one in this academy can stop you, all will be sunflowers under your sickle, merely waiting to be slaughtered.”
“You and I control everyone’s fate; we are the true predators.”
“How about it, Miss Hevnia?” Unnoticed, Cesar had already walked up to Hevnia and smiled, extending his hand towards her. “Will you cooperate with me?”
Hevnia stared blankly at Cesar’s extended hand.
Beneath their feet lay the corpse of that Golden Sound Player.
It was as if they truly stood above everyone else.
Hevnia thought to herself.
Her conversation with Bai Wei earlier came flooding back.
“Mr. Visas, if he really wants to cooperate with me, should I agree or refuse?”
“That depends on you, Hevnia. From a rational perspective, in this world hostile to you, it indeed is a good choice for two of a kind to band together.”
“I understand your meaning, Mr. Visas.”
“No, Hevnia,” Bai Wei said smiling, “the premise for making this decision is…”
“You truly are of the same kind.”
They surely were of the same kind, right?
Both unique in their scores, both for the sake of the Seven Notes·Divine Song.
They indeed were of the same kind.
Then did Hevnia have any reason to refuse?
Thus, she extended her hand towards Cesar.
Suddenly, the door was flung open.
They both turned to look.
The Copper Sound girl who had brought Hevnia to the kitchen earlier, stood there holding a bandage, just staring at them.
Everything happened so fast, Hevnia had just realized something was amiss when Cesar had already made his move.
She didn’t even see Cesar’s gesture, only heard the sound “swish.”
The girl’s body was torn in two, then helplessly collapsed, blood spraying everywhere.
Hevnia stood frozen in place.
She heard Cesar click his tongue next to her: “Just a Copper Sound? So weak, no wonder I didn’t notice her.”
After dealing with the girl, Cesar immediately looked back at Hevnia: “But it still caused a commotion, I should leave now. How about it, Miss Hevnia, can our cooperation still…”
He stopped mid-sentence, the frown returning to his brow.
Because he saw the girl in the pool of blood shakily raising a magic wand.
“Troublesome creature,” Cesar was about to strike again.
But in that instant, Hevnia’s magic wand already blocked his hand.
Cesar frowned deeply.
And in that moment, the girl had already released the Chorus Magic.
A warm light enveloped Hevnia.
[Second Note·Blessing].
She heard the girl speak to her.
