Chapter 1047 283: Butterflies Ultimately Cannot Cross the Sea of Stars (10K)
Just as he was thinking this, the Communication Crystal that was in the state of transmitting information finally lit up.
The light screen flickered suddenly, and a middle-aged man, who had a solid build, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with the embroideries of the Bell Federation crafted in the background, their special paint giving a touch of coldness.
A stack of neatly arranged documents lay on the rosewood tea table beside him, and the uncapped pen was casually placed on the armrest.
From this angle, the entire hall was visible at a glance.
The middle-aged man clasped his hands under his chin and first cast a sharp gaze at his left shoulder: "I thought you would contact me sooner."
That profound gaze made the initially calm Kael raise an eyebrow. It seemed he had made some impression on this individual, which was not surprising.
Before returning, he had already informed Lancaster about the divine war on Dragon King Island, Olivia supporting them while dragging her battered body to complete the final Dragon Blood Ceremony.
Even about Olivia sleeping eternally within his own body, he had said as much.
No matter the reasons, such significant matters Kael Cedric, as the Federation Governor, could not possibly be unaware of.
All Kael did was say softly:
"I am merely a nobody, lucky to have gained much support, barely surviving in this chaotic world. I never expected my name would be known to the Federation Governor."
After agreeing to Olivia's request, his thoughts became clear.
What he needed to do, probably only he in this world could achieve right now, though it's the worst and most despicable means, considering it's his only trump card to stay alive, he chose to reveal his hand for a decisive showdown.
The middle-aged man leaned slightly forward, his posture becoming more aggressive: "Speaking of which, I still don't know your name. I just heard Olivia mention in her letter that she found me a cheap son."
Deep and obscure emotions flashed across Kael's eyes. He knew he was holding a pawn in his hand.
Most of the time, this piece was almost useless and might even bring unpredictable dangers. But under specific circumstances, Kael was confident he could make it jump off the board and smack the opposing player in the face.
So when he lifted his head, his face was as calm as a still water: "Kael.D.Helois.Cedric, I've long heard of your great name, Governor."
The middle-aged man on the other side of the light screen lowered his hands from his chin, his sword-like eyes seemed to soften a bit, but upon closer inspection, it seemed unchanged from before.
He lightly said: "Nice name."
A moment later, he tapped the table and quietly said: "So, calling in at this late hour, it's unlikely you just wanted to chat, right?
If there's something, say it directly. If not, I'll hang up."
Kael shook his head and said: "Sister Olivia asked me to devour her, and I gladly agreed. Because I know if I do this, I still have a chance, but if I don't, even the last chance will disappear."
Upon hearing this, Caesar Governor fell silent, his eyes seemed a bit distracted, but soon his gaze focused again, and he coldly said:
"Yes, I understand, so what do you want to do?"
When he said this, Kael suddenly felt an eerie power invade his current location in Titan City.
It was an exceedingly condensed and powerful special force, filled with an unstoppable horrendous will that shocked even Kael. He instinctively looked at this Governor.
He was now pointing in the direction of the Communication Crystal, using a method even Kael found incomprehensible, directly projecting part of his Domain into Lancaster Territory.
"Speak, apart from you and me, no one else will know about this conversation."
Kael raised his head, calmly looking at him and said: "Though unreasonable, I request you to take responsibility for killing the God of ice and snow, and to deter the Holy Hall temporarily, preventing their small maneuvers towards me, giving us enough buffering time."
"The reason? If, as a Governor, I were to do such a thing, it would cause an explosive uproar in both nations' public opinion arenas, breaking the already volatile state completely and ushering in an accelerated era of war.
This outcome is not something ordinary people would want to see. I don't particularly wish for them to wait until the knife strikes them before they repent, regretfully acknowledging their blind choice to incite war.
So, you need to give me a reason worthy of granting you protection."
Kael fell silent, and inexplicably, a surge of nameless anger surged in his heart. He barely suppressed the urge to vent this nameless rage and said:
"To be honest, I don't like this feeling of begging, but I always feel that as a father, watching your daughter walk towards destruction, don't you have any extra thoughts?"
Caesar Governor shook his head and said: "To say I have no thoughts, that is impossible, but this choice will not achieve the purpose of venting this anger and might leave a handle for criticism.
