After chasing the stolen contract, I came to Calgary, temporarily disbanded with Celica and the others, and wandered alone in a strange city in Canada.
Fangran never expected to meet this figure here.
Senior A-level participant, the fuse of the God's Arrival Project, the former leader of the royal court, and...
The current executive officer of the eighth pillar of the association!
The moment he saw Korossos, Fangran subconsciously put his whole body on guard!
And when I just came out of the store, I was still holding my things and smiling at the store owner. I was also surprised by the chance encounter at this moment.
He was dumbfounded for a moment, then as if he understood something, he smiled and regained his impeccable gentlemanly demeanor.
Korossus looked at Fangran who was wary of him in front of him, and said with a gentle and polite attitude:
"I know there is a cafe nearby. How about we sit down and chat?"
...
Calgary, southwest of downtown,
The elegant wooden door opens with a string of bells, and the exquisite retro decoration style reveals an elegant and comfortable style.
The store is small and spotless. There are no other customers at this time, and there is no store sign. It doesn’t look like a business store at all.
But the glass jars on the shelf behind the counter still prove the fact that this is a coffee shop.
"I met the owner when I first came here. He opened this store out of love. I like the style and atmosphere here very much,"
After watching the wealthy man in his forties or fifties bring the coffee, he looked at me in surprise and then left, sitting in a quiet place by the window.
Fangran listened to Korossus in front of him and said with a smile:
"And you don't need to be so vigilant. I have no intention of doing anything to you, and I have no intention of reporting it to the association."
The smooth and natural way the topic changes makes people feel that he is good at talking in a gentle and gentle way, without giving rise to any bad feelings, and the sentence itself is even more...
-【reality】-
Looking at the results of [Scale Scale], I couldn’t help but be surprised.
He didn't completely relax his vigilance, but became slightly silent and removed his ability to prepare for action.
Fangran took off his sunglasses and looked at Kolossus in front of him.
With a youthful and outstanding appearance, he has a deep temperament that has been immersed in years, coupled with the exemplary British gentleman's demeanor,
On the way here, it attracted almost everyone’s attention.
But Fangran's impression of him still remained during the National War, that old man in a suit and hat, holding a cane.
It's just that he never thought at the time that the person in front of him would trigger everything that followed.
Looking at the entire God's Arrival Plan, the most critical link is the betrayal of Colossus.
It directly led to the fall of the Royal Court, the night war control agency throughout Europe, allowing the association to easily accumulate seven dark energy crystals in reality...
The sunlight at the end of the afternoon shines through the window, and the temperature of the light is intoxicating with the aroma of ground coffee beans.
"But I really didn't expect that I would meet you again at such a time and place,"
Sitting in this small coffee shop in Calgary, Kolossos looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with emotion.
"That blow at the last minute of the A-level battle is something I will never forget."
As if recalling the huge silver gun that shot down from thousands of meters above the buildings in the simulation scene at that time, he finally asked with a slight smile:
"Should I call you Fangran or Yecrow?"
Faced with his profound question, today there is no longer any way to hide it.
Fangran looked at him with calm eyes and responded.
"I am Fangran, I always have been."
After hearing this answer, I looked at him with surprise,
Korossus seemed to re-recognize the young man he had met for the first time in the C-class battle in front of him.
"Why would you help me keep the association a secret?"
Europe's actions have made the association fully aware of its own strength. It is not difficult to guess that he is Night Crow based on previous events.
Since he has become the eighth pillar executive, it is natural for Korossus to know this.
But Fangran couldn't think of any reason why he would be willing to help her keep the association secret.
"The existence of an A-level superior is not easy to hide unless you don't use that power, so it doesn't matter whether you report it or not,"
Facing Fangran's doubts about not letting down his guard, Korossus smiled casually and said,
Then he picked up the coffee, blew the hot air and spoke softly:
"Furthermore, the Sixth Pillar is close friends with Youye Angel, who has a close relationship with you, and the Seventh Pillar is from China, so I am on the front line with them,"
"It doesn't matter if you sell favors in places that have nothing to do with you."
-【reality】-
Sensing the result of [Scale Scale], Fangran listened to what seemed to be the words of the faction within the association, and the reasons were somewhat similar to Trinity.
"Concealing my whereabouts, aren't you worried that I might make a sudden move and cause losses to the association?"
"If the prevention of associations was so simple, Lord Arcana might have succeeded countless times."
In response to this question, Colossus just put the coffee to his lips and smiled.
Even though he betrayed the camp, his title did not change. However, with the magical power of the 'Maid Maid', it would be really easy to come to North America without being known by the association...
I understood what he meant and confirmed that the worst case scenario would not happen.
Fangran sighed softly and temporarily put down his guard.
Then he looked at Colossus, and there was still a strange feeling in his mind that his old appearance overlapped with his eyes. Sitting with this figure like this, I didn't know what to talk about for a while.
After a while of silence, he finally just asked like he was chatting with an acquaintance:
"How will you be here?"
"Each executive officer has his own area of responsibility in North America, and Alaska and Western Canada are my areas of responsibility,"
"I've been coming to this city since things in Europe ended, and now it's a vacation after work,"
"Don't worry, I won't interfere in anything except principles."
He answered with a smile as if chatting, and Corossus took a sip of coffee. The strong bitter taste made his eyes look lost in the warmth of the sun, and he felt nostalgic.
But before Fangran paid attention, he looked at him with a smile and said:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Speaking of which, I have passed by here before. The last time I came to North America, it was about twenty years ago."
More than twenty years ago...
The words from a senior A-level person were longer than Fangran's current life.
Looking out the window at the scenery of Calgary in the warm glow, as if reminiscing about the past, Colossus's face showed emotions about the years that were inconsistent with his youthful appearance.
"At that time, I came here to investigate a matter. At that time, night fighting in North America was far from as active as it is now,"
"Black markets and taverns have not yet spread across every central city, and participants have not yet integrated into all walks of life as they do now,"
"Very few people develop things that have nothing to do with combat power, and they only occasionally help some wealthy people solve problems for funds. There are no middlemen who specialize in issuing tasks..."
Listening to Corossus's narration, and listening to his words, some of them were even things I had just come into contact with.
Gradually, I pieced together the night battle scenes of that era in my mind,
Fangran looked at the young yet not-so-young figure in front of him and put down the coffee in his hand, looking at the snow-white peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the distance and sighing deeply.
"At that time, I really never thought that I would come to North America again in this capacity."
From being the leader of the royal court for decades to being the executive officer of the association, even Colossus himself seems to be a little emotional about this change.
And listening to such words, there was a silent silence, thinking that he was the key to the God's Arrival Plan, and I had the urge to free the King of Gods now and peek into his memory.
But considering the other party's A-level status and the pain of reading other people's lives, Fangran finally resisted such thoughts.
After a brief silence, he raised his eyes and looked at Colossus asking the same question as Trinity.
"Why would you betray the royal court and join the association?"
