Chapter 22: Too Many Crown
"Lance Redron, the Ancestral Archon, is the current head of the Ancestral Tree, which is currently the second most powerful organization in this world. This is where Lance developed a huge ego that led to the current situation, for him listening to his order is an absolute, and anyone who disobeys them is simply an enemy of the world.
But the real problem isn't that he has a huge ego, but that he has the power to back it up, his archon power relies on ancestry, or if you want it more scientifically, human memory. Inside his mind an infinite library of every single piece of information that his predecessor and predecessor their servant obtained, but it doesn't stop as just knowledge, he also inherits the experience, talent, genetics, quirk, appearance, wealth and strength of his predecessor.
There is another notable point about his ability, but it shouldn't be relevant right now, he can't die of old age, sickness or bad luck, as nature itself wants to prevent his death. So if you want him killed, you have to do it by yourself."
"VOLO!!!"
"Just saying." Volo hunched his shoulder before continuing his explanation. "In any case, it's not like he would be easy to kill, his body has also inherited the strength of multiple generations of Archon, so he possesses a pretty high amount of power comparable to a fighting esper of level 5."
"Then Volo, could you explain to me something?" Geeta asked.
"You paid, I answer."
"Good, could you explain to me how Lance was able to force everyone to kneel?"
"Oh, it's probably just his mark."
"His mark?"
"Yes, every Archon has one, but it is just a fancier way of talking about how an archon develops his power and how he specializes in it. As they all have infinite ways of using them, the only thing limiting them is their own imagination or preference, and of course what their power can handle in the first place.
For example, my mark is 'Falling', and the specialization of Lance as probably has something to do with…'Teaching' I think? Sincerely it's just in the theory phase right now, but I theorize he can transmit his knowledge to other people, and to make everyone kneel he probably forced the knowledge of obeisance on everyone else and imposed this knowledge into their brain to a degree comparable to the knowledge to their basic instinct, like the knowledge to how to breath."
"Is there any way to resist it?"
"Well, I suppose you can just make sure everything in your body is automated by yourself like Luciel, so no instinct can take over your body…well, I guess Cynthia was also able to resist it despite having no power, so just having enough willpower to resist it should be enough for now. This could simply mean his mark isn't developed to a sufficient level, so strike while the dragon scale is soft.
"…what?"
"I'm saying if you want to stop the movement he is doing, then now is the best moment to shatter his ego, because, despite all the knowledge they have, they never learn humility. And trust me, it's not because I didn't try."
"…I see, then why did he do it in the first place, what is his duty."
"I was getting there, don't get impatient please." Volo shook his head in a comical way, but Geeta only rolled her eye before fixing Volo again. "Usually Archon duty changes depending on the condition of the world, but usually they are always similar to each other through their apparition, and I have a pretty good idea what the current problem the Great Slaver want to fix right now."
"The Broken War?" Oak questioned, but he quickly regretted it after Volo looked at him with annoyance.
"Wow, no wonder you're called a doctor, they're really nothing escaping this brilliant mind of yours. I sure hope that one day in my immortal life I will be able to reach at least one percent of your capacity of stating the obvious, but at least I will be able to satisfy my envy with the fact that I am better than you in not talking when the elder are talking."
"I'm…I'm sorry."
"Oh! That's incredible, I'm so proud of you, do you want candy as a reward? Wait! I know, you must receive congratulations from your peer to feel validated! Hey everyone! Clap for Oak, he was able to guess… "
But before he could harass the poor Oak more, Geeta intervened. "Volo, enough, you know he didn't mean that."
He looked at Geeta with an impassive eye, before continuing his explanation. "So as Mister Oak graciously stated, their duty all have the same common goal, removing the stain the war caused."
"For Lance, his duty is similar to an officer, he needs to ensure order and punish those who go against the law, except it to the international level. This is why he did such a stunt, he knew that everyone in the room would soon become extremely strong at the end of their training, and he probably didn't want them to cause any problems. And it is also very probable that he wanted to recruit some people to help him uphold order."
"I see, then tell me Volo, how important is it for them to fulfil their duty?"
Volo thought for a moment before answering. "…that will depend on time, but as they are all young, assume they would gladly kill themselves and everyone they love if it means their duty could be achieved."
"Can I assume you already saw a similar situation?" Joseph Stone asked out of curiosity.
Volo looked surprised at his question, before smirking at him. "Of course I did."
Stone finds Volo's reaction extremely weird, but he decides to ignore it before Volo starts to ridicule him as Oak.
"But then I also have a question if you don't mind mister Heaven." Rose politely asks with a smile on his face.
"Eh, well sure, go ahead, you know how much I love answering questions truthfully!"
"Ah, truly splendid my dear, I just wanted to know how did you detain so much information about the little Redron? As far as I know, the Ancestral Tree is extremely secretive about their personal information , and I believe the security behind the information concerning their Archon should be the biggest among them all, so how did you have it?"
"Oh that's very simple, I asked politely, good manners can let you reach far you know?"
"I see, I see, it true that being polite can open a lot of doors!" Rose laughed a little before looking more seriously at Volo." But my curiosity is so strong I cannot stop myself from asking another question, if I gave you one billion pokedollard, would I receive a different answer?"
"Of course you would, but are you sure you want to give that kind of money for a silly answer when their still children dying of hunger? I'm sure you, the philanthropy by definition, can see the order of priority."
"Hahaha, you truly know how to praise me, mister Volo! But you're right, the answer isn't this important, I just wanted to make sure you're not lying to us, and the best way to ensure you tell the truth is to contact the source itself. But I trust you enough, The Betrayer, that you wouldn't lie to us, you have such a wonderful reputation after all."
Volo stood silent before looking at Geeta who didn't give a single reaction, but he could detect her interest toward Rose speech.
"Why are you worrying Mister Volo, it just means that Miss Geeta will have to look deeper into your source and run experimentation to confirm your world. Evidently, it would take a lot of time, but I'm sure time is a less valuable resource for you, isn't it? You can wait before having the other half of the file."
Volo sighed as he realized how Rose trapped him with his own reputation. "Maybe I should just have accepted these billions…very well, I found this information about Lance by torturing the child of one of the elders of their clan to receive information…of course, this didn't work, they don't give a damn about their children, so I tortured him instead, and that worked better."
"Ohoho, how diabolic, to torture a high official from the Ancestral Tree for information about their leader, but the worst is what those other officials would do to him if they learned what he did despite the torture he went on, don't you agree mister Volo. Please tell me his name so I can console him for living trought such a tragedy." Rose responded with sadness, to the point people in the room could actually believe he was deeply affected by the tragedy.
But of course, Volo didn't. "…you know what? Sure, go ahead, blackmail him as much as you want, his name is Guilitozer Sertroot, have fun…I guess."
"Blackmailing him?! How insulting! I do not have such vile intention!" Rose said indignant but still didn't complain more after this as he took his cup of coffee and sipped into it.
Volo looked at him with a deadpan gaze before sighing. "Alright, then that's all about Lance Redron, anything else you want to know before I move to the next Archon?"
Geeta raised her hand. "How devoted are the clan toward Lance?"
"Oh, that's a big question, and It will cost your last admissible question? Do you wish to proceed with the transaction?"
Geeta thought about it before waving her hand in a dismissive manner. "Nevermind then, I will find it on my own."
"As you wish, now let's continue with…let see…what about Aaron Hisui, the Primal Archon. Now you probably have no idea what even is the Primal Archon, and sincerely even I nearly forgot about it, but he is the archon of bug-type esper. And before you ask, no, the fact that he is the archon of the weakest type does not make him the weakest of every archon. And to be clear, there is no weakest archon, just stupid archon, and I'm curious who it is going to be among this patch."
"But let's not get off topic, Aaron has the power over 'Instinct', which is rather ironic considering the Gloom Archon was able to copy a form of his power. Of course, he has much higher expertise on the power than him, like the Gloom Archon is only able to steal these lowly instincts of other people, while Aaron can create a new one out of scratch and force them upon others.
Well, that's what the other Primal Archon used, Aaron is truly a particular child, as he didn't choose to give instinct to others like the precedent Archon, but to use it on himself, making his mark 'Fate', where he can see and change his own destiny depending on his instinct. For now, he is only at his lowest phase, so he can't control it as much as he can, but it is still rather impressive."
"But you don't care about that, do you? I mean the moment he finally reaches a satisfying amount of control on his mark, you're all going to be 100 feet down the earth, that what he gets for trying to control a mark that is vastly different from his main aspect."
"Are you saying he chose the wrong path?" Wicke asked in worry.
Volo looked honestly stumped by the question. "…well…a common characteristic of Archon is the ability to live forever unless they are killed, and the same applies to them, so time should usually not be a worry for them. But at the same time, the current era is prone to a lot of change, and if he doesn't gain enough power soon, he won't be able to make as much impact as he would want. So sincerely, the only way to have an answer is to wait."
"And you forgot to mention one thing Volo." Oak intervened. "Our job is not to make these kids choose one path to make them grow stronger but to help all of them walk on their own path. If little Aaron wants to trade upon this path, it is our responsibility as teachers to help him arrive at the finish line sooner than possible."
Volo squinched at Oak before waving his hand. "Well I suppose that's what the selling speech was, so go on, I am also interested in him succeeding, I could have a lot of use for his ability if he fully masteries it."
"It won't be for you that we train him Volo."
"That's not up to you, nor him." Volo responded coldly.
"Stop with your veiled threat Volo, this is not our only topic on the agenda." Geeta intervened.
"…well if I have anything else to add about Aaron, it would be his background. He was born in an orphanage, and I don't mean his parent left him there, but that the caretaker had a baby and this baby was Aaron…his parent are doing fine by the way, which is rare enough among the Archon that it deserves to be specified."
"Poor children…" Wicke murmured.
"He has a great amount of trust in his own ability, but not to the point of arrogance. When he joined Lance, he truly did it out of a desire to help other people, so you mark him up as kind. And finally, he is extremely ambitious, so you know what that mean?!"
"…that he is a good person?" Wicke asked in confusion.
"That he can easily be manipulated by us." Rose replied instead.
"Ding ding, one point for Rose, just one million more to receive the ultimate prize!"
"Rose, I don't mind you using your influence to blackmail some clan member, but please leave the kid out of your scheme." Geeta pleaded to Rose who responded in the same seriousness.
"Do not worry Miss Geeta, I truly have no wish to cause any harm to them, but that doesn't mean we can't use Aaron to our advantage."
"…elaborate."
"Of course, I propose we convince Aaron to keep Lance in check, as presently, Lance only considers the other Archon as his equal. We can offer some benefits to Aaron, and in exchange, he will make sure Lance doesn't try any more of this stunt. Even better, it's a student that will execute this task, so the Ancestral Tree won't be able to sue us for unfairly treating their prodigy."
"…this looks indeed viable…and I suppose if he was born in an orphanage, then he should have the skill to take care of turbulent children, can you confirm it Volo?"
"I don't know, I just asked the caretaker working at the orphanage for the information and they responded gladly, so I didn't get the chance to torture anyone to have more precise information." Volo stated as if it was normal.
"What is wrong with you?!" Wicke exclaimed in consternation.
"Hahaha, you tell me if you have years of free time, and I would gladly list every single reason, don't worry, it will be free."
"…" Wicke looked at Volo with disgust and even moved her chair to have more space away from Volo.
"Rude…anyways, I just have to be precise Aaron's duty isn't anything you need to concern yourself with, as it only affects the pokemon ecosystem. He has the duty to lower the wild pokemon aggressivity against humans, but without destroying the ecosystem, which is why he decided to join the academy, to learn from professionals how the ecosystem works."
"Oh, then if you don't mind Miss Geeta, I would like him in my class, I would be more than happy to teach him this knowledge." Oak proposed with a smile on his face.
"I have no opposition to the proposition, do any of you have?" Geeta asked while looking around the table, and found no one raising any concern. "Very well, I will send your students list soon, and I will make sure Aaron will be in your Dr Oak.
"…alright, and to conclude on Aaron Hisui's file, you can easily kill him, but as he has extremely good instinct, I propose you attack him with a wide-range attack, or else he will just dodge it."
"Why are you proposing a way to kill our student!?" Wicke exclaimed in exasperation.
"…you're the one who assumes I want to kill them, I'm just informing you with pertinent information, no need to put them in action."
"Hurgh!"
"Let it go, Wicke, he feeds on your anger."
"What? Of course I don't, it tastes terrible apparently."
"Apparently?"
"What other information do you have on the Archon, Volo?"
"Hmm, to stay on topic, apparently worry tastes very bitter, and I just happen to love that taste, so let's talk about Sabrina Natsume, the Spiritual Archon."
"…what do you mean…" Stone asked with worry.
"If just this is enough to make you fearful, then I can't wait what would be your reaction at the end of my presentation."
"…I think I will just ask it first, where does your source for Sabrina come from?"
"The police record, and an ancient mafia boss. I know, I know, none of them are reliable, but she wasn't really the type to build any form of social connection, she was more the type to hide. And I'm sure you can guess why knowing she's from Kantos, they really don't like her type over there."
"…indeed." Oak responded with regret.
"Wait, what do you mean the police record? How do you have access to it…no, whom did you torture to get access to it?!" Stone exclaimed in an accusatory tone.
"Torture? I didn't have to torture anyone, except if you consider a nice little check in their pocket as a form of torture. Because if yes, then I'm sure you're the biggest torturer in this room!"
"Impossible! No police officer would let go of private information in exchange for money!"
"…are you ser…oh…I see, I should have specified that I like the taste of things bitter, not bitter old men who are jealous of not being able to find corrupt cops to use to their own benefit."
Stone rose from his chair so fast that it fell. "HOW ABSOLUTELY DARE YOU!!! I do not have any interest in owning a damn corrupted cop! I'm only outraged that a member of justice has dared to sell information for a pitiful amount of money!"
"Did you ever starve to death?" Volo asked while looking without any emotion at Stone.
Stone flinched and fell down on the ground. "Wh…what?"
"Eh, I figured as such." Volo pushed a smirk at the pathetic showcase of Stone before looking at Geeta. "Now, I don't want to sound mean, but if we keep interrupting me on every occasion, I won't be able to finish my explanation, and apparently, we are short on time."
"…how rich from you to speak about a lack of time."
"Ah, I guess you're right, but I still feel like I'm wasting it. Sabrina was born into a normal income family, nothing too special, except of course that they gave birth to an Archon, which made the whole town burn them alive for birthing a witch, of course, she was able to escape alive, cause what distorting method could these peasants use to kill an Archon…anyways burning alive isn't the right method to kill the Spiritual Archon, it better to chock her to death, as her power originates from their brain."
Wicke grumbled at Volo for explaining one more how to kill one of their students, but Geeta flinched at it.
"Oh right, I forgot you don't need this explanation Geeta, you already know how to kill them! My bad, my bad, I wasted your time once more. So anyways, after escaping, Sabrina ended up in the street, where she started to use her own power for her own interest, starting a street gang with some thugs, then her organization started to evolve until it became a mafia composed of multiple espers that were on the beck and call of Sabrina, who was now called Lady Despair. She passed from stealing apples on the street to stealing banks, selling pokemon, and producing some typoril, you know, the usual. But then a simple man came and stole her entire organization, which is why she's currently here, she's in hiding in fear of that man.
"Wait!? What?!" Wicke screamed, but only because she was the only one who lost her composure in the room, as the rest would thought exactly the same thing, even Colress.
"How…how did a 'normal' man able to steal her organization? Isn't she an Archon? Was he also an Archon? And how did I never hear about this criminal organization before? No, are the students safe from having a crime lord among them?" Oak asked in concern.
Volo waved his finger in front of Oak. "No no no, no more interruption, please. We don't have only this to do! Well technically I'm now going to speak about her power, so no amount of time I was able to preserve before will matter now."
Volo took a deep breath, completely ignoring the look of concern in everyone's face. "Spiritual connection, levitation, mind reading, time dilation, telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, psychometry, astral manipulation, mind control, chronokinesis, biokinesis, illusion creation, cellular regeneration and finally, advanced intelligence."
"Now the reason why she has access to so many abilities is because of her mark, usually the Spiritual Archon only specializes in one domain, but her mark is based on 'Survival', she rightly assumed that to not be antagonized by others, she simply must look the most dangerous, not being the actual strongest.
This might cause problems with her duty, but I don't think she even cares about it anymore and only wants to live free of everyone's concern, so it is useless to mention it here." Volo said in a dismissive manner.
"Geeta, did you know about that?" Rose asked Geeta, completely ignoring Volo.
"I knew she was from the organization and was hiding from it, but I assumed that it was because she was a deserter, not because she was a beaten leader."
"What do we do with her then? She could be a danger to everyone in the academy, even worst than Lance! We should expulse her immediately."
'Please don't.' A voice suddenly reasoned inside every counsellor's head.
"Wait, what?"
'I swear I won't cause any problems, please just let me stay, I will keep quiet, never bothering anyone, I promise. Please just let me stay.'
"Sabrina, I know you can read my mind, so you don't have to worry about this possibility, as long as you don't cause any more harm, you shall be accepted. And don't worry, your secret will be kept among ourselves." Geeta spoke with a calm voice.
"Wait Geeta, you can't be serious!?"
"Sit back down Joseph Stone, we do not threaten our students, should I make you remember why we decided to build it in the first place?"
Joseph wanted to replic, but when he saw the threatening gaze of Geeta, he grumbled before taking back his chair.
'Thank you.' Was the last thing they heard inside their head before they felt as if something disconnected from their brain.
"Interesting, it seems we can add an intent warning to her list of abilities," Volo murmured in the air, while the rest were still surprised by the surprise intrusion.
"What…how did she…"
"Stop wasting time with stupid questions! Sincerely, I'm so happy that you're not a student, or else you would be the type to waste the teacher's time with stupid questions. Would you think of Oak? THINK OF OAK YOU SCUMBAG!!!" Volo screamed at Joseph before calming himself.
"…eh?" Was the only thing Joseph could mutter before Volo continued his description.
"Now let's see, we have four left…mmmh, let aboard Natural Harmonia Gropius, the…" Before Volo could continue, Colress nudged him on his arm.
"What is it Colress? If you want to waste our time, then you might as well explain to us how you're even able to arrange your hair this way each day!"
Colress simply handed him over one single file that looked bruised, and even a circle of coffee was placed on it.
Volo raised an eyebrow before taking hold of it and reading it silently.
But he closed it immediately after with an immense smile on his face. "Nicolas! How are you doing? I hope you had a fantastic day! So tell me, what do you want to ask your best friend?"
"Do not speak about King Natural." Colress said coldly.
"Who is Natural?? I never heard of any Natural in my entire life, and isn't it kinda stupid to name your kid Natural? I mean, is he supposed to look at you when you say how much you like the natural park? I'm sure that no one could ever name their kid this name, which means he doesn't exist." Volo said in a joyful tone while throwing a gaze toward the file Colress just gave him as his smile grew even more.
Volo looked so happy then no one here would be surprised if he suddenly started to sing.
"Volo, what is the meaning of this?!"
"Oh right, sorry Geeta, I suddenly don't have any idea about what type of person his majesty of Unova is."
Knowing that there was no way that Volo would answer any of her questions concerning Natural, Geeta looked at Colress with a serious gaze.
Noticing it, Colress bowed before explaining himself. "I'm sorry Miss Geeta, but I cannot allow any divulgation about our lord, order from the Sage of Unova."
"…if there's any problem concerning Natural, you shall be the first one put responsible." Geeta said coldly before looking at Volo who was busy admiring the folder that contained a single page inside.
From the side, Geeta could read a very particular title 'Dream Realm Study'.
"Do not worry Miss Geeta, I can assure you that his majesty would not cause any trouble toward your institution." Colress vowed, but Geeta still didn't look convinced.
"Alright, I suddenly have way better thing to do than speaking in this boring meeting, so miss Geeta, I will take a break for one week, I suddenly want to see some country." Volo said while standing up.
"The questioning isn't finished!"
"Oh right, I suppose I should visit Paldea too, so I would need two weeks of breaks…and I guess the rest of the file too."
"Finish answering first!"
Volo sighed before looking at the rest of the council. "Arcerola, Etheral Archon, very synical, no danger, control ghost, need to appease the death. Korrina, War Archon, extremely dependant, might be problematic, super strength, need to unify the nation. Luciel, Gloom Archon, control the sense of other, pathetic, I have absolutely no idea what is his duty. " Volo rapidly listed before heading toward Geeta with his hand opened. "That is, I answered all of your questions, can I get the rest of the information concerning the Great Crater?"
"…what do you mean you have no idea about Luciel's duty?."
Volo froze at her question, before sighing. "I have sincerely, on the name of Arceus, absolutely no idea. If I lie, Arceus can strike me down!" Volo said loudly, but before Geeta could rebuke him, she felt a gaze pose itself inside the room, before leaving as quickly as it arrived.
"See, I'm not lying, now give me them."
Geeta scrutinized Volo's face before reaching for multiple files on the table and taking different pages from each of them.
Volo frowned at her action. "…you really didn't trust me, did you?"
"Only a fool would." Geeta responded as a matter of fact.
"Sorry to announce to you that making a deal with me make immediately a fool of you."
"How bothersome." Geeta said calmly before handing him multiple papers in order. "I expect a more detailed answer on your return."
"And here I thought you didn't wish to see me ever again." Volo mockingly said while reaching for the paper.
"Sadly, I was cursed with vision." Geeta said while waving him off.
Volo smirked at her before heading to the wall behind her.
Geeta was confused at first before immediately turning around. "USE THE DO…
*CRASH*
Before she could finish, Volo already jumped out of the window the fell outside.
*splash*
The council barely had the chance to hear the sound of a splash before they saw a streak of light leaving the island at extreme speed.
"…I will deduce it from his paycheck."
"We pay him?" Wicke asked in confusion.
"It easier to justify the payment of Volo's action as his salary, or else they will start to think I just created fictional destruction to keep the money for myself." Geeta said while reaching into her pocket taking out a silver coin and launching it toward the wall.
The moment it collided against the wall, two tiny metallic hands reached for the coin, before melting in the wall.
Soon, the glass that was broken by Volo was slowly covered by material resembling mercury, slowly blocking the hole with a metallic mixture. But it soon started to become more transparent, until the glass looked as new as before Volo destroyed it.
"Truly wonderful these little pokemon are." Rose remarked looking at the wall with a small amount of fascination. "Able to morph their body in any shape or element in exchange for mass a little of their mass."
"Indeed, and thanks for leading them to us Rose." Geeta thanked him while facing the table. "Now that Volo is gone, we can resume on our main agenda. First, I agree with your proposal Rose, we will try to convince Aaron to be the one taking care of Lance. We won't be asking for much either, just to act as a deterrent force against him."
"And for his payment, we could simply agree to give him a specialized course to help him on his duty." Joseph proposed.
"No, I don't want to privatize a special course in exchange for a service, this isn't what we stand for. If a student wants a specific education, then it is our duty to give it to him. We won't force him to do us a favour for it!" Geeta responded coldly.
"…then I suppose we could just pay him with Solar Point in exchange for his service." Joseph said with an annoyed expression.
"Good, I already have another idea about how to lower Lance's pride to a more reasonable level, I will execute it tomorrow during the reprise of the banquet." Geeta explained.
"Oh right, about that, you forced the student in their dorm, what are we doing about this?" Wicke asked in concern.
"Hmm, ask the chefs to prepare their food and then ask for some maid to bring the food directly to their dorm. I prefer to avoid troubling the children currently. Let them relax between themselves, if we're lucky enough, they will bond over today's experience."
"What about the other side? Are we also punishing them over the action of the other faction? Because I must warn you that their a high chance it creates even bigger conflict between the two sides." Colress questioned.
Rose was the one who answered this question. "No, I also agree that it is for the best." The member of the council looked at him in confusion, so Rose rose from his seat. "As you probably know, because of my standing, I was the one assigned to introduce the other student, and despite having no clear conflict as Lance did, I could still detect some amber of a future conflict between them."
"That's concerning, what was its nature?"
"The first of every conflict, the rich against the poor."
"…I hoped this conflict wouldn't happen after the filtering during the test, as reprehensible as it is, Volo stunt did indeed allow most of the bad apple to be disqualified from joining…I hoped it would be every one of them." Geeta said in exasperation.
"I also do not wish to sing him any praise, however, I still have to comfort you that it did indeed work, as there were extremely few who held any judgment against those poorer than them. But I still think it would be a good idea to let the turbulent ones interact with each other a little bit more so as to not cause more conflict. With enough time they may let go of their prejudice."
"Very well, and at least I don't think there is anyone who holds a sufficient grudge to create any problem for us." Geeta said wistfully.
"And even if there are, you would be available to stop them in time, aren't you?" Oak added with a smile.
"As long as there is not another student that was able to lose themselves inside the building."
Geeta said while thinking of the reason why she had to take Morty aways, as a child was able to completely lose himself inside the building, his name was apparently Leon.
She hope he won't bring more problem now.
Colress suddenly raised his hand, which made everyone look toward him. "I think it finally time we talk about the most important subject. As saddening as you find his condition, Luciel could be a huge problem in our plan."
Colress words plunged the room into silence.
"...I have an idea..." Geeta weakly said before bringing up a piece of paper up to the table. "But it will require some luck..." She threw a fast look toward Wicke. "And some of you might not like it."
