Endless Debt

The members of the diplomatic mission were all here, and now it was time to work.

"Good morning, everyone."

A stranger appeared at the edge of the crowd, his arrival was silent, and everyone showed a hint of surprise, except for Nesanel, who seemed to have sensed the man’s approach long ago.

The man’s attire was similar to Ossana’s, suggesting they held the same status, the only difference being the color of their robes. He wore a fiery red robe, like a burning flame.

"Duke of Conquest, I remember you."

Nesanel recognized the man’s identity, extended his hand kindly, and then asked, "Where’s Fabien? I thought it would be him hosting me today."

"The Order Officer is waiting for you at the Supreme Hub with the Ancestral Council," the Duke of Conquest replied with a smile.

Nesanel detected the subtlety in his words and pressed on, "Just me? Only me?"

"Yes, I hope you understand, after all, it’s our decision-making hub," said the Duke of Conquest with an understanding demeanor, "Besides, whether it’s a group or just you going, does it make any difference?"

"Indeed, it makes no difference." Nesanel nodded, he didn’t need a guard, for he himself was the strongest force.

"Then..."

The Duke of Conquest wanted to say more, but suddenly Nesanel interrupted him and called out to Holt behind him, "I’ll go meet the Ancestral Council, while you go to the archives and examine all recent records of the All Secrets Order."

Nesanel gave instructions openly in front of the Duke of Conquest, showing no regard for the All Secrets Order.

The Duke of Conquest’s expression turned grim immediately, he wanted to say something else, but Nesanel turned his head and asked, "It’s just an examination, is there a problem with that?"

His icy gaze fixed on Nesanel, a few seconds later, it softened, and the Duke of Conquest smiled again, "No problem, it’s just to verify our purity."

"Very well, then we should be going."

The group started moving, leaving the inside of the Diplomatic Tower, and as they reached the bottom, another stranger had been waiting there for quite some time, he also wore a duke’s garb, in a striking orange-yellow color.

"Spirit Duke?"

Nesanel might not recognize the face, but he certainly recognized the robe and understood the power it represented.

"Deputy Director Nesanel."

The Spirit Duke, who was relatively young, politely greeted Nesanel and then looked at Holt and the others, "I will take them to the archives."

Nesanel gave him a deep look, then glanced at the Duke of Conquest beside him, and whispered, "Your response is fast."

"What do you mean?"

The Duke of Conquest feigned ignorance, then explained, "The archives are equally important to us, it’s never wrong to be a bit more vigilant."

The group would split here, Holt said nothing but gave Nesanel a firm nod, seeing this, Nesanel said nothing more, only instructed, "Lead the way quickly."

Nesanel separated from the group, heading towards the Supreme Hub, while Holt and the others followed the orange-yellow robe in the opposite direction.

No matter how dumb Palmer was, he realized something wasn’t quite right by this point, he whispered, "Just let the Deputy Director leave like this?"

"Relax, the Deputy Director is much more reliable than you," Bologue responded quietly as well.

"So, are we going with them?"

Palmer and Bologue were at the very end of the procession, Palmer surreptitiously glanced around and noticed the personnel of the All Secrets Order evenly dispersed around the group’s perimeter, any move to break away would be immediately noticed.

"I feel uneasy, Bologue."

Palmer nervously rubbed his Lucky Dice, as he advanced in tiers, his intuition for avoiding danger became sharper, perhaps he wasn’t the strongest, but he was definitely the one who could survive until the end.

"I know, don’t worry, relax," Bologue advised Palmer, "Remember our task?"

"What task?"

Bologue felt a moment of dizziness, he should never have expected anything from Palmer.

Clearly, the mission consisted mainly of Holt and his team, and the presence of Bologue and Palmer seemed extremely abrupt.

Bologue understood Nesanel’s intent, Holt and the others were just cover, the true key to the investigation lay with Bologue and Palmer, the two Debtors, who still had connections to the Devil and were guided by Olivia’s bloodline.

If anyone could find the hidden truths of the All Secrets Order, it was them.

Now, all Bologue needed was the right moment, a chance to slip away unnoticed, and make way for his actions.

"Are you sure about this, Olivia?"

Bologue used the Whistle to communicate silently with Olivia.

"Yes, but I need a shadow to perfectly conceal you, so nobody will notice," Olivia assured.

"Alright."

The group followed the Spirit Duke into another nearby High Tower, watching the dimming lights inside the building, Bologue couldn’t believe this would be the archives.

But... it had nothing to do with him anymore, he still remembered Ossana’s cooperation offer, yesterday it was Ossana and Fabien hosting them, and now a whole new group of strangers, surely the All Secrets Order was brewing something in secret.
