Chapter 469
Chapter 469
"I've heard about you from Rick a few times and we've met face to face a couple of times. Are you sure it's Carrabba ......?"
He nodded in agreement to Amon's gentle question.
But he immediately huffed and glared at Amon as if he were licking his lips.
Carrabba's eyes are still filled with hatred and anger.
When Amon was puzzled by this situation, Cross began to remove the gag that was attached to Carrabba.
"Don't be violent. The man in front of you right now is Amon Grandek, He says he has many questions for you."
Ungagged, Carrabba spat the spit that had collected in his mouth onto the floor and stared at Amon.
"...... You certainly look a lot like Amon-sama The Bardia family has a fox tribe and a raccoon tribe that can use the " transformation art ". ...... However, the Bardia family is a bunch of outcasts who claimed to be negotiating and then tricked Amon-sama, Rick and the others into killing them. You understand?"
A shout of anger, a mixture of provocation, anger, and various emotions, echoed from Carrabba's office.
Cross frowns, but doesn't move because Amon and I don't say anything.
When we didn't respond immediately, Calaba's mouth relaxed.
"Look here. I can't say anything back. Who is going to talk to an impostor who looks so much like him? I'm a warrior too, you know. I would never sell out my comrades."
He glared at us sharply as he said this.
"You know, Amon, ...... you were the hope of the fox people. Besides, the people you killed were all better and more talented than me. . You cheated them and then threw Amon-sama's 'head' in. ...... I'll never forgive you."
I gasped at the devilish look on Carrabba's face.
But he just said something very important.
[The Bardia family threw Amon-sama's head into the camp of the fox people.]
Of course, we did no such thing.
Probably, the House of Grandek made it up to boost the morale of their army and for the cause of the invasion.
The truth is different, but 'Amon went to the Bardia family to negotiate and did not return to the territory of the Fox people. In addition, Rick and the others died' is true.
The "heads" are likely to be doubles or something prepared by the Grandeks.
A self-induced stunt based on the facts, twisting the truth to suit the convenience of the story.
It's called match posting.
'Father and brother...... no, it's something Gareth or Elba would have thought of.'
Amon muttered in a low voice and looked straight into Carrabba's eyes.
'I ...... no, I want to prove that I am Amon myself. Ask me any questions you want about Rick or anything else."
Don't ...... be silly. You talk about Rick as if you know him. Then what's his wife's name?"
...... Rick's wife is his childhood friend ""Didier"". When Rick asked her to marry him, she got mad at him for 'confessing too late. Their two children are named 'Diaz' and 'Tracia. They are twins, a boy and a girl."
When Amon calmly replied to the provocative question, Carrabba's eyes turned into dots.
"......⁉ No, no, that can't be right. Well, then ......."
He looked puzzled and asked questions one after another.
Amon was unperturbed by the questions and answered them gently.
Soon, Carrabba's attitude changed.
The hatred in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a complex mixture of sadness and joy.
'Are you really ...... truly, Amon-sama?"
"Ah. I'm Amon Grandek, the man himself. You may not believe it, but I am."
After the questioning, Calabasas finally acknowledged that the Amon in front of him was the real one.
He shook his head violently with tears in his eyes.
'This is outrageous, . I have been rude to you. Please forgive me. I am so glad that Master Amon is alive and truly ...... truly ......."
Carabas mutters and sobs with his eyes downcast.
'Take off all his restraints. I think he's all right now."
All right."
Cross follows my instructions and removes Carrabba's restraints.
Once free, he slowly looks up.
'With all due respect, what happened to Rick and the others who were escorting Master Amon?"
'They ...... are all dead. They were all killed by Elba and Gareth's scheme."
Amon answered quietly, his hands trembling with anger.
Carrabba gasped as he witnessed what he said and did.
'May I ask ...... details of Rick and the others' final days?
I know it's going to be a painful story, but are you still interested in hearing it?"
Amon nodded in response to Carrabba's question, and Amon proceeded to tell him in no uncertain terms about the tragedy that had taken place in the Bardia family mansion.
After a while, Carrabba's shoulders trembled and his eyes fell to the ground.
When Amon's narrative ends, he turns his hands into fists, pounding the floor repeatedly with all the force he can muster and echoing his wailing, "Ughhhhhh!"
"What were Rick and the others serving Master Amon for? It's too much. ...... It's too much. Then isn't that just a waste of life⁉"
Amon gently placed a hand on his shoulder as Carrabba sobbed.
If things continue as they are now, Rick and the others will die in vain, as you say. But I won't let that happen. I'll carry on their legacy."
"......?"
Amon smiled as he tilted his head and looked up.
"I will rise with the help of the Bardia family. I will defeat my father, Gareth Grandek, and fundamentally change the Fox people."
"......⁉"
Amon's eyes were tinged with determination.
Carrabba's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I wonder, Calabasas . Will you lend me your power as well?"
"Are you serious?"
"I can't say this in a fit of rage. Besides, I said I was following Rick's legacy. I'm leaving Gareth and the others. Just like Uncle Greas chose to do."
Amon's answer was straightforward and without hesitation.
Carrabba's eyes lit up with a strong light.
"Yes, If my power is sufficient, I will offer it to Amon-sama. Please use it."
"Yes, thank you."
Carrabba bowed in awe.
Amon again gently placed his hand on his shoulder.
I, who had been watching the whole exchange from the side, felt a sense of relief.
Now that we have new information, we should be able to move one step closer to victory.
But there is not much time left before the "negotiation."
After checking the time on my pocket watch, I began, "It looks like we've come to an agreement."
"Let's start with the Grandek family's camp and the situation. Then, the 'head' and the deceit you were talking about earlier. I want to know all about it."
Carrabba looked at him quizzically, but Amon immediately shook his head.
"Don't worry. This is Rid Bardia, the eldest son of the Bardia family, who lent me his power."
"......⁉ I beg your pardon."
He bowed his head again when he found out who I was.
"Haha. Don't worry about trivial things. We don't have much time. Tell me what you know about the Grandek family camp."
Carrabba nodded in response to my question and began to tell me the story of how the Grandeks started their invasion.
