Cain's face was pale from the mental exhaustion, but he had no time to rest, as there was still much to do. However, before continuing with Ocius, he turned to the side.@@@@ "How is the woman?" Cain asked as he focused on the wooden cocoon holding the young member of the Azure Royal Family. "She is unconscious. My branches are releasing a powerful drug that will erase her short-term memory, ensuring our presence and this event are forgotten." Krane had protected the woman not out of kindness but because it would have been difficult to explain how Samira perished fighting Wave Beasts while under the surveillance of a Wave King. "Good, bring her to me." Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire Cain walked over as the cocoon opened, revealing the unconscious Samira. His Ego Wave acted again, invading the young woman's mind and putting her into a state of compulsion as he altered her memories. Having become a Saint Hypnosis Master, Cain did not need to use verbal commands to affect someone, and it was not difficult to manipulate memories in people whose willpower had yet to reach the Wave Champion level. "She will not cause us problems. Now, let's finish with the old man." Cain was tired but did not let that stop him as he took one of the Blood Nails and made a deep cut in Ocius' head. Krane looked on, his eyes widening as he witnessed Cain's actions, and he could not help but regard the young man as a true monster. He had lived in the underworld for a very long time, but Cain's behavior truly shocked him at times. Although Cain had a strong sense of justice, when it came to evil people, he showed no moral or ethical restraint whatsoever. --- A few hours later, as the sun was setting, Ocius and Samira calmly made their way back to the Azure Estate. "It's not fair. I was having such a good time, yet we already need to return home." A voice came from the other side, and Ocius entered the small room where a man stood among a set of thick books. The presence of books was an anomaly in the Godslayer Humankind Empire since every child had an A.I. Chip implanted from birth, capable of storing a near-endless amount of information. However, books could not be hacked, an important quality if the information they contained was sensitive. "What brings you here, Ocius?" Alderman Timothy looked much older than Ocius but was actually hundreds of years younger. The reason for his appearance was that he was just a Peak Wave Champion and had failed to reach the Wave King Rank. There was a bored expression on the alderman as he looked at Ocius. There was a lot of work to be done, but while his job granted him a certain status, it was not wise to ignore a Wave King, so he paid the man attention. Ocius could see the disinterest in Timothy, but while he might have made a fuss any other time, now he adopted a solemn expression. "I need your assistance in a matter that requires a certain finesse." Timothy's eyes narrowed as he heard those words, and he waved his hand, activating a formation in the room that sealed sound and ensured that no Ego Waves could eavesdrop. He was accustomed to this type of conversation, so after making sure they were alone, he nodded to Ocius, signaling he could continue. "It has come to my possession certain items that I cannot use right now, but it would be unwise to keep them on me since they could be tracked. I need a place where I can stash them for now." Ocius' face was calm, but there was no hiding the sense of trepidation in his eyes. Timothy focused on the Wave King for a moment, analyzing his words. If it were a simple treasure gained by luck, there was no problem keeping it in your space ring, but if it was stolen, the rightful owner could be searching for it through all sorts of supernatural means. "Even if you took it from other noble families, you could hide it in the main vault. It doesn't matter if they track it to this place since they would not dare to fight with us for it." Although Timothy's answer was arrogant, it was also correct, as the number of noble families that could offend the Azure Royal Family was very few. Ocius looked at Timothy briefly before clenching his teeth and waving his hand, revealing a small crystal glowing with sky-blue energy. "A Goldsoul Crystal!"
