Chapter 1133 Those People, Those Reasons (Part 1)
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, and then he smiled and regained his impeccable gentlemanly demeanor, as if he understood something.
Korossus looked at Fangran who was wary 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 it doesn’t even have a store sign. It doesn’t look like a business store at all.
But the glass jars lining the shelves behind the counter attest to 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 conversation started smoothly and naturally, which made people feel that he was good at talking in a gentle and gentle way, and he could not feel bad, and the sentence itself was even more...
-【reality】-
Looking at the result of [Weighing Scale], I was slightly surprised.
Fangran was silent for a while, removing his ability to prepare for action, but he did not completely relax his vigilance. He took off his sunglasses and looked at Colossus in front of him.
With a youthful and outstanding appearance, he has a mature 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 that of the old man in a suit and top hat and holding a cane during the National War.
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.
This directly led to the fall of the Royal Court, the night war control agency across 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 radiant temperature is slightly intoxicated 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 moment 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?"
There was no answer to this indifferent question. Fangran just looked at Korossus and spoke calmly:
"Why would you help me keep the association a secret?"
Europe's actions made the association fully aware of his 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 help her keep the association secret.
"There's just no reason. An association executive is a free status with little responsibility."
Facing Fangran's doubts about not letting down his guard, Corosus smiled casually and said something very similar to Trinity,
Then he picked up the coffee, blew the hot air and smiled 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】-
Feeling the result of [Scale Scale] and listening to what seemed to be the words of the faction within the association, he
Although he is not the weak person he was when he was exiled in Europe last time, North America is the territory of the association after all.
After confirming that the worst case scenario would not happen, Fangran let out a breath and temporarily put down his guard, looked at him and asked his second question:
"Why are you in this city?"
"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 in this city since things ended in Europe."
Not minding explaining Fangran's doubts with a smile, Korossus took a sip of coffee. The strong bitter taste made his eyes look deeply nostalgic in the warmth of the sun.
But before Fangran paid attention, he looked at him with a smile and said:
"Speaking of which, I have passed by here before, and the last time I came to North America was about twenty years ago."
More than twenty years ago...
The words from a senior A-level speaker were longer than Fangran's entire life so far.
Looking out the window at the scenery in the warm glow of Calgary, as if reminiscing about the past, Colossus's face showed emotions about the years that were inconsistent with his youthful appearance.
"At that time, the night fighting world in North America was far from as active as it is now, and black markets and taverns were not yet spread across every central city,"
"Participants"
"Very few people will develop things that have nothing to do with combat power, and they will only occasionally help some rich people solve problems for money. There are no middlemen who specialize in issuing tasks..."
Listening to Colossus's narration, listening to his words, some of the things he even understood,
It seems that I can gradually piece together the scene of the night battle world in that era in my mind.
Fangran sighed as he watched the young yet not-so-young figure in front of him put down the coffee in his hand, looking at the snow-white peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the distance.
"At that time, I really never thought that I would be in this position when I came to North America again."
From the leader of the royal court to the executive officer of the association, this transformation seemed to make even Colossus himself feel a little emotional.
And listening to such words, I was silent and thinking that he was the key to the God's Plan, and I had the urge to free the King of Gods now and peek into his memory.
But Fangran finally resisted the urge, took a deep breath, raised his eyes very seriously,
Looking at Colossus, he asked the same question he had asked Trinity.
"Why would you betray the royal court and join the association?"
