He looked at the blindfolded young man that appeared in front of him, his expression complicated as if he was staring at an unimaginable sight, murmuring, “How is it possible? The assassin organization could have someone able to fuse with this card?”
“Demon God Bekas?”
Hearing this, Ada was shocked and also puzzled, as if she had never heard about it before.
Mushroomhead, however, seemed to have heard about it. “Oh… captain, I’ve seen records in the case file. It seems the origin card was once contained by the Bureau. Shouldn’t it be sealed in the warehouse?”
“Correct.”
Reuel Bible’s eyes were misty. He paused for a moment before saying complexly, “That Epic Source Card was personally contained by my team!”
His two assistants were stunned, “Ah?”
No wonder they recognized it at a glance – it was personally contained by the captain.
After contemplating for a moment, Reuel Bible said, “Three years ago, the Federal Law Court’s headquarters’ warehouse was robbed, and a lot of important items were stolen, including the Heart 6 Source Card of the Order Law. I never thought it would be stolen by the Masked Organization…”
Hearing this, Ada was surprised, “Ah… the theft of the origin card, such a serious incident, how come I’ve never heard of it?”
!!..
Reuel Bible didn’t explain much, he simply said, “The theft was wrapped up in a scandal involving the high-ranking officials, so it was kept from the public. Otherwise, the items sealed in the headquarters’ warehouse wouldn’t be in the federation’s law court.”
Feeling curious, Ada asked, “But why did no one fuse with the Epic Source Card, Captain? Why did a thief take it away?”
Mushroomhead seemed to know something.
He proceeded to explain as though he rehearsed it, “From my knowledge, the higher quality the Demon Mark, the more demanding the requirements for fusion, usually needing to satisfy some characteristics that correspond with the specific demon. Especially for marks above the legend level, the risk of deformation is very high if the compatibility is insufficient. I theorize that that card must have been sealed due to a high deformation probability during fusion.”
“Correct.”
Reuel Bible nodded, “It’s not that no one tried to fuse. After a series of tests, the fusion requirements for this origin card were found to be very harsh. To my knowledge, since the Bureau took in that card, at least three federated law court judges tried to secretly fuse with it, but all ended up deformed.”
Ada was bewildered. “Those top-level judges also deformed during fusion? What do you need to satisfy to pull off the fusion?”
Upon hearing this question, Reuel Bible pondered for a moment before saying, “This is an Order Law Path Source Card, which is part of the Judge Profession Sequence. The card masters on this profession sequence who wish to advance to high tier, must possess some characteristics, such as integrity and justice. After several fusions and deformations of this origin card, researchers from the institute have made some more precise judgments. They believe, the characteristics that this Epic Source Card may require are: absolute justice and integrity!”
Both Mushroomhead and Ada were stunned by this explanation.
Absolute justice and integrity?
Who could meet such demand?
No wonder even the judges ended up deformed after fusion.
So that was why Reuel Bible found it odd.
Even the judges fell.
But a member of an assassin organization successfully fused?
It was simply… as if the order was turned upside down.
As Reuel Bible looked at the blindfolded mysterious figure in the distance, the complex thoughts behind his shaking eyes were apparent. He murmured softly, “Blindfolded in self-judgment, carrying a lantern to illuminate others…”
At this moment, it seemed to dawn on him.
Only someone who is also a card-master in the Path of Order could sense another person controlling the powers of the “Order Law”.
At this moment, Mushroomhead asked again, “But Captain, it seems that guy is here to assassinate Young Master Kane, should we stop him? After all, he’s high-ranking nobility.”
Reuel Bible shook his head, his gaze deep and somewhat bitter, with a sigh, “He now symbolizes justice… what would be the point of our intervention?” Mushroomhead’s eyes lit up in excitement, “Oh, that guy is now done for!”
Ada frowned, “But if the higher-ups know that we were here and did not stop it, wouldn’t it be trouble? The people from the Lionheart Family are known to be very protective.”
Reuel Bible tilted his head, naturally pulling out a gas mask to put on his face, glancing at her, “If we don’t show our faces, who can prove that we were here?” His two assistants twitched when they heard this.
The old fox of the Bureau was teaching some rather underhanded tricks again.
While Reuel Bible and his team were discussing the Demon God’s Phantom…
The confrontation ahead was still ongoing.
The old butler by Young Master Kane’s side stared at the approaching figure and did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he took the initiative to speak, “And who might you be, sir, and why are you blocking our young master’s way?” He was very polite.
At this moment, Young Master Kane wasn’t as cocky as usual. He was swallowing hard, obediently sitting in the car.
For some reason, the several powerful golden knights didn’t reassure him at all.
Upon hearing the query, the mysterious man finally spoke, sounding quite at ease, “Ah… sorry, forgot to introduce myself.”
No one in the Lionheart family party was laughing at this.
But the uninformed onlookers burst into laughter.
Before he spoke, he had the cold and mysterious aura of a master.
Once he spoke, that aura disappeared immediately.
Instead, he now seemed like an impulsive youngster..
