Irium

Chapter 133

"So what are we going to do with this place?" She asks as she looks at an apartment complex of 1-bedroom flats.

"This is where she told us Cartel used to live in a few months ago. It"s the only lead we have got on him." I say, motioning to come inside with me.

"I am not sure if this even counts as a "lead"." She says and starts walking.

Well, I am not sure if this counts as a lead either but it"s not like we have any other way to track him down.

"That was boring!" Roswaisa says as she stretches her back.

"Yeah, that definitely was." I say as I do the same.

We just spent four hours taking to the people living in the apartment Cartel used to live in as well as the neighbors but we didn"t get any new leads. All of them said the same thing everyone at that Remedy Corp. state office said when I interrogated them. Is there really no way we can find this guy?

"You said already check him current residence and there was nothing helpful? Now we have checked his old residence and it hasn"t been helpful either." She looks as irritated as one can be as she says, "This guy is REALLY getting on my nerves now."

I know how she feels. He is getting on my nerves too. My patience is running out and I am starting to think I should go and tell Dues to find him herself. Of course, I won"t do that. No way am I letting her get an excuse to take any authority over Glice from me.

Wait!

"Cartel Hopkins killed Jerome Hawks a month ago, right?"

"Yes!"

I dismissed this as a coincidence earlier but what if it"s not a coincidence.

"A month ago from today would be the day Dues became "G.o.d". It would also be the day Kaylith Glice and the Angel Trevor died. It would also be the day Priscina"s AI disappeared forever and the day I inherited the throne of Glice."

Roswaisa"s eyes widen as she realizes what I have realized.

"It can"t be." She tries to deny but her expression clearly states that she is unable to. "He wouldn"t actually be-"

"I think he is." I say. "I think we should hurry to Glice."

"Looks like Irium got into some trouble right after he left us." Niviks says as he comes to me after talking with one of his informants.

"Did he now?" I say with a carefree att.i.tude, "It"ll probably be find though."

If he actually got into trouble that I didn"t set up, then Dues would have set it up. And since that"d be the case, I am sure it"ll be fine as she has no intention of killing Irium.

"Okay, some important information from earth has come too." He says then.

"Oh? I am listening."

"It seems that a particular Monica Hawks was caught by Danny and Roswaisa."

I can"t help but smile after hearing that.

"Monica Hawks, huh? The fiancé of that … what was his name again? Jerome Hawks?"

Niviks nods.

Well, so they found his fiancé. However they did it doesn"t matter to me but this probably means that they will find out the information Jerome had on me, like, my old residence or even the fact that I killed Jerome on the day that their lives completely changed, for better or for worse.


"You know, Cartel, if they even think of the possibility of being a citizen of Glice, hiding time will be over." Niviks says mockingly.

"I know, I know." I say, with a smile, getting excited over how things will play out, "But by the time they uncover all my plans and get to me, it"ll already be too late."

Finding out that I am a citizen of Glice will allow them to know how I knew about Dues becoming G.o.d and all. What they wouldn"t know if how I am living on Earth when I belong to Glice. And to find that out, they will check if I had any family on Glice.

They"ll then realize that I was sent to Remedy Corporation as a spy by Sir Trevor.

After that, it won"t be very hard for them to find out about the many ways Sir Trevor used to keep an eye on me and the other spies he had sent. When they find out about them, they"ll have a way to tracking me down. And that will lead them to come to Frost.

This will, at the very least, take a week.

And so, by the time they are here, there will be nothing they can do to stop me.

That"s right.

Within one week, everything will change and I will be the king of mage-craft. The only thing that could possibly have been a problem for my plans was if Irium decided that my offer wasn"t good enough and didn"t team up with me to cause chaos for Dues. But, he did.

So, I just need to keep following the plan. And, as part of that plan,

"Hey Niviks," I say, "give Temple of Temur guys a call and tell them to go wild throughout the world."

"Seriously?"

"Yes! Tell them they more properties they destroy, the better. Tell them it is part of the big ritual to take down Dues or something like that to motivate them."

"Hah!" He sighs and says, "If you say so, boss!"

Well, time to cause chaos where Irium won"t be able to.
