Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 296: Realization Of Cedric’s Identity

"Okay, now back to the same question, why do you believe that I am not Cedric Valehart, and this time, I want the answer, because my patience was wearing out," Sharky asked, looking at her.

Alina harrumphed. "Stop pretending already. I know that you are not Cedric Valehart."

She stared at him calmly, "I know that you have taken Cedric’s body. But even though you took his body, you can’t copy his mind."

Sharky frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Alina explained, "Let me explain it like this. Others might not be able to notice any flaws if you tried to fool them, but for me, there are just too many flaws."

"I have a smattering of knowledge in illustration. In the dao of art, others might think that it is better the more accurately you draw the target, but in reality, that is not the case. It is not too difficult for a well trained artist to make a precise imitation of the target. In the domain of art, such an artist can only be considered to have rudimentary skill."

Alina continued, "There are also some artists who pursue meaning rather than form. That is why some ordinary people would feel that their art is not similar to the real person at all, and think their skills were comparable to those of some random street peddlers. Those ordinary people are actually greatly mistaken. When these artists draw, they add in their understanding and insights regarding their objective, and they convey unique meaning. It is not something that others can easily imitate."

"But that is still not the highest level of art. The most profound artists often go back to their roots, attaching importance to both form and meaning. If an ordinary person saw their work, they would only feel that it resembles the original object, and thus be able to appreciate its beauty. Those who knew better would sense the meaning behind the illustration. Not only would it completely represent the original form, it would also contain the insights of the artist."

Alina’s gaze landed on Sharky’s face after she said that, and she continued, "So, you may have possessed Cedric Valehart’s body. But you can’t be able to behave like him. An ordinary person might not be able to tell the difference, but it is full of flaws in my eyes."

"Enough. I have already answered your question. Can you tell me who you are now?" Alina’s eyes stared calmly into Sharky’s as she spoke. They shone like the bright stars of the night sky, beautiful and enchanting.

Sharky thought for a bit, then said, "No wonder you used that painting to trap me. Looks like you have already achieved profound results in this domain. How high can you rank in this world in terms of art?"

Seeing that he had avoided her question again, Alina was initially a bit unhappy. But when she heard he was going to talk about the dao of art, she couldn’t help but blink. She seemed a bit more interested. She thought seriously to herself for a while, then replied, "I should be able to rank number two."

"The world is so large; the fact that you can rank number two is already quite incredible." Sharky sighed in praise. Afterward, he then asked, "Then who is number one?"

"I do not know." Alina’s voice was soft and moving.

"You do not know?" Sharky was confused. "Then how do you know that you are number two?"

"I have not met anyone whose skills are above mine, but there will always be people better than you. Perhaps there is someone who is better than me somewhere in this world, but there are definitely not too many of them. After thinking about it, I decided that number two was a rather fair statement." Alina’s tone was serious, as if she were currently discussing an extremely serious matter.

Sharky was stunned. Are you kidding me?

He felt another huge mental blow to his confidence. Look at how innocent she looks while bragging about herself... But there really isn’t much you can do about it either....

He suddenly thought of something and looked the other party in the eyes, saying, "From what I know, Principal Scarlett has taken in a few disciples, and every single one of them excels in their own respective fields. The one who represents ’art’ is extremely mysterious, with almost no one knowing their name. It is not even known if they are male or female. If I am not mistaken, that person should be you, though?"

Alina hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she nodded and replied, "Indeed, that person is me. The reason I have concealed my identity is because my status is too special. Neither my teacher nor I wish to bring about any unnecessary troubles, which is why we did not announce it to the world."

Sharky was immediately stunned. He hadn’t expected Alina to be Principal Scarlett’s disciple.

"If you are Principal Scarlett’s direct disciple, why has this beauty committed such wrongs?" Sharky couldn’t help but ask with a sigh.

Alina harrumphed. "Someone possessed my husband, and wanted to do all the things. Who exactly is the wrongdoer here?"

Sharky’s face heated up. He replied, "I didn’t possess your husband, he just —."

"He just what? If you have not possessed my husband, then how did you appear in his body?" Alina shouted at him.

"Who exactly are you?" she asked while sizing him up. "You resemble him, you really do... Perhaps only I alone, someone who understands the dao of art, and furthermore someone extremely familiar with Cedric Valehart, could tell the difference."

Alina’s expression grew cold. She said, "I sensed that there was a fiend race aura coming from your body. Are you of the Peacock King race? But I have never heard of the Peacock King race having possession abilities..." Her voice gradually became softer as she spoke her thoughts out loud.

"Indeed, I am a companion of Lucien Feather." Sharky replied.

Alina looked at him coldly and said, "Your Peacock clan and I have always minded our own businesses. Why have you crossed the boundary?"

But then before he replied something, she again shouted at him.

"No, there is no way you are from the Peacock clan. Who exactly are you? Restore your original appearance at once!"

Sharky squatted down by her side. He found her angry expression rather cute. He asked, "How did you discern that I might not be from the Peacock clan?"

Seeing that she was still looking away, he reached out and pulled her chin back toward him, saying, "Answer my question."

Alina’s skin was ice-cold. At the same time, however, it was soft and elastic. However, she carried a hint of a dangerous aura as she spat with a cold expression, and pushed back his hand, "Remove your filthy hand."

"Okay, okay," Sharky didn’t hold his chin again. "But, can you answer my question, how did you know, I am not from Peacock Clan,"

"Because I know who you are? At first, I was confused, but then I realized, who are you?" Alina said, looking at him.

"Oh, then tell me, who am I?" Sharky was curious how she knew who he was.

"If I am not mistaken, you are none other than Sharky, right?" She asked, looking at him.

Sharky was stunned.

But he reacted quickly. He only lost his composure for an instant before snapping out of his daze. "Who is Sharky? Could he be the madam’s close friend?"

Alina gave him a sidelong glance and replied, "Are you really asking me that to my face? Do you have no sense of shame?"

What the hell is going on? This woman has even more secrets? She actually even knows my real identity?

Is she trying to trick me?

But why did she say my name? That’s just too much of a coincidence, right? Or does she have some kind of system that lets her see my true name too?

As if seeing through his confusion, Alina said, "I already had my suspicions from earlier. For some reason, I felt you were somewhat familiar. But because you possess Cedric’s body directly, I did not immediately realize that it was you.

"Later on, when you destroyed the painting, that was the Phoenix beside you. And the person who cultivated the Phoenix Immortal Technique, only he can do this. And I only knew, Sharky possessed this technique."

"Furthermore, to be so familiar with the Royal Academy, it could be no one else but you."

When he heard the entire analysis, Sharky was shocked and left in complete admiration. He exclaimed, "You really are the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes!"

"Who is Sherlock Holmes?" Alina mouthed the name to herself. She began to think about whether any famous people she knew had that surname.

"Uh, he’s a detective with legendary reasoning abilities." Sharky gave a vague explanation and quickly changed the topic. Since his identity had already been exposed, there was no point in continuing to deny it.

"Ok, now, I exposed you, now tell me, why you possessed my husband." Alina became angry asking about it, just today she married her husband.

And, then she found her husband’s body was in control of her. Moreover, who controls her husband’s body, he is not the enemy of her.

So, why should he control her husband’s body?

But then, something struck her mind, that how the fuck, Sharky was alive.

Because it was well known that he had died in the academy dungeon.

She looked towards Sharky, and this time she asked in a panicked tone, because if she was wrong again, then the person in front of more dangerous, "Are you really Sharky, or do you also possess Sharky’s abilities?"

Hearing it, Sharky chuckled, but without keeping her confused, he replied, "Yes, I am Sharky, there is no need to keep your guessing game. But that is also true, that I didn’t possess your husband’s body. But his body was made for me. It’s like, he is also me, what he experienced till now, I have also experienced it."

"What are you trying to tell?" Alina was confused by Sharky’s answer, that her husband was him, or he was her husband. "Moreover, the whole world knows that you died in the Royal Academy dungeon, so how are you still alive?"

"Miss Sherlock Holmes, why didn’t you also guess this?" Sharky said, as he held her chin.

This time, she didn’t stop him.

She was thinking, how was he alive, but then she was struck by a realization. And it was a terrific realization.

According to her theory, it was only possible through reincarnation.

Although it feels different, that someone can get rebirth, but then he possesses the Immortal Phoenix Technique.

And the Immortal Phoenix Technique is well known for the rebirth. After all, Emperor Henry, because of the Immortal Phoenix Technique, has done many things.

But for confirmation, she asked him, "Is it Immortal Phoenix Technique."

"Wow, you guessed it right," Sharky replied, at the same time he crashed his lips with her and started sucking it.

Alina also cooperated with him, knowing who he was. Moreover she was also guilty that she had broken the promise of marrying him.

And in the end, since he has appeared in front of her, as her husband, then lets him do whatever he wants.

And about Cedric, well it was all a political marriage, although she married him, she didn’t like him at all, just because of her family, she married him.
