Yalin stood outside the window, watching Allen talk to Elliot and the other man, and muttered to himself.
However, he didn't do anything, he just told Allen that if Elliott and Karen asked about Isaac's current situation, he should just tell them the truth.
Faced with such a fate befalling his former friend, what must this old man, who had once betrayed his companions and chosen a different path, be thinking?
In addition, there was Yalin's undisguised hostility towards the Primal Elves.
What actions will he take?
Yalin observed with great interest.
Of the three sinners who committed heinous crimes, Isaac was the most wicked, Allen was blindly obedient, and Elliott could barely be considered to have "turned over a new leaf."
Now we've once again reached a crossroads in life; if we make the wrong choice, it could lead to utter ruin.
When Allen returned, Yalin leaned back on the sofa and asked in a lazy tone.
"So, do they have any plans to rescue Westcott?"
Upon hearing this, Allen's eyes flickered with struggle, but he immediately replied, "Boss, Elliott and Karen seem to think that your methods are too cruel. They wouldn't have much of an opinion even if you killed Isaac directly."
But this form of abuse instilled anger and hostility in them.
After all, they were former companions, one of the only four remaining orthodox magicians. Even with their disagreements, Elliot and Karen couldn't bear to see their former friend suffer such a fate.
As for the experiments and modifications Isaac has carried out on others over the years, it was actually a matter of retribution, which they naturally forgot subconsciously.
After all, he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, and given the deep-seated hatred between magicians and humans, if it weren't for the Primal Elves, even Elliot was prepared to take complete revenge on humans and create a world belonging to magicians.
In this respect, Mio Takamiya may have done a good thing.
“Based on what I know about them, they might become your adversaries next,” Allen said.
A close friend and an object of affection—these two reasons were enough for Elliott to make an irrational decision.
"In that case, you will keep an eye on Woodman and Karen. If they do anything that jeopardizes the plan, take care of them."
Yalin was not surprised by this and calmly gave his instructions.
As the boss who took over the position of the main villain, it's not a given that he would take down a few supporting characters from the righteous side.
He then jokingly added, "Isn't this what you've always wanted? You wouldn't be satisfied until you personally killed Woodman."
Wait, isn't it too much to kill Karen, your sister, personally?
Allen was filled with anger and resentment, but he said in a serious tone, "If it's for the boss, I'm willing to do anything."
However, when she thought of Karen, she hesitated again, remembering Yalin's promise.
As long as her performance satisfies the person in front of her, the person will grant her a small, not unreasonable request.
Originally, it was to beg him to spare Isaac, even if the chances were slim, it was worth a try.
However, Eren's performance against Rokuro Hoshimiya was unsatisfactory, making it difficult for him to make this request.
Now, what if we replaced the small request with letting Karen go?
Although Allen hated Woodman and resented Karen, he still felt a pang of reluctance towards killing his own sister.
Moreover, she can now distinguish between what is important and what is urgent, and she knows that the other party is acting for Isaac, so she will protect as many as possible.
After hesitating for a long time, she slowly said, "Boss, if we really become enemies, could you let me go?"
Ellen didn't mention Elliott because she knew that Yalin had a very poor impression of the three people who had summoned the Primal Spirits.
Isaac was physically abused, she was psychologically tormented, and only Elliott was temporarily spared because he "abandoned darkness and turned to light".
Now Yalin has given him a warning that he can live a peaceful life, but if he can't hold on to it, he won't be given a second chance.
If we disregard his stance and his dislike for Yalin, Allen even thinks that Yalin is somewhat soft-hearted.
“Since even my most dedicated assistant has made this request, I can only grant your small wish.” Yalin glanced at Allen, then gave a friendly smile.
After all, he's not a really bad person, so this request is allowed.
......The wife of the spiritual suspect Jiu Jiujiu
"Brother, should I infiltrate Ratatosk and monitor their plans?"
While Allen was away, Orochi appeared and asked seriously.
She could easily and silently infiltrate Ratatosk's system and monitor its members.
It can even cause the opponent's defenses to be redirected towards their own people.
"Do as you please, but don't alert them before they take any concrete action."
Yalin patted her head, quite pleased with the AI sprite's enthusiasm.
The real deciding factor is him versus Mio Takamiya. In this respect, he will absolutely not lose.
"By the way, inform Nellie Island that I'm in a good mood today, so triple Westcott's punishment and let him share in this joy."
"Yes." Oroshiki was speechless. Her older brother really had a wicked sense of humor.
"As for Hoshimiya Rokuro, once her mental state is tested and found to be stable enough, her memories can be unsealed, and she can be arranged to meet with Hoshimiya Asahi."
Hoshimiya Asahi, the older sister, has a gentle personality and dotes on her younger sister, Hoshimiya Mukuro.
If we had been able to calm down back then, understand each other, and listen to each other, perhaps things wouldn't have come to this.
One side is too fearful, and the other side is too extreme.
"We can arrange some coincidences to help the two sisters break the ice. Of course, this is a secret operation, so don't inform Hoshimiya Mukuro in advance."
After deep thought, Yalin offered a reminder.
The reunion of the Hoshimiya sisters was originally destined to happen because of an attack by Tohka from a parallel world. In the critical moment, Miku saved her sister, and the contact caused the sister to awaken her memories.
It can be replicated now; although the plot is old-fashioned, it is still quite effective.
The bond between the two sisters is genuine, and the plan is bound to succeed based on that.
"...Brother, if you want to arrange a similar plot, DEM's strength is insufficient, and it would be easy for her to discover the clues."
Or perhaps Marina subtly reminded him that only Eren could suppress Hoshimiya Mukuro, and the gap between the two had not changed qualitatively. They had even fought before, so it would be easy to expose his weakness in a direct confrontation.
As for the other elves, setting aside whether they are strong enough, their acting skills are also insufficient to complete this task.
“That’s true. It seems I’ll have to do it.” Yalin nodded, using his Master of Disguise talent to continuously alter his aura. After a few breaths, even though his appearance remained unchanged, a mad and evil aura emanated from him.
This made Orochi Nami, who was standing to the side, widen her eyes in surprise as she stared at Ayrin, who was completely different from before.
Yalin's transformation didn't stop there. A demon mask materialized in his right hand and he put it on his face. His clothes changed into jet-black armor, and his scarlet pupils were filled with a destructive and savage desire.
Ordinary people feel fear and panic just by looking at him, and they can't even run away.
Even though she witnessed his transformation firsthand, Orihime's body trembled uncontrollably, unable to bear the negative aura emanating from him.
Is this really my elder brother? At this moment, he gives me the illusion of being completely corrupted. After putting on the mask, he is even more like a demon king, making people afraid to look him in the eye.
"Given Hoshimiya Rokuro's quick thinking and intelligence, this outfit should be enough to fool her for a short time."
Yalin's lips parted into a ferocious grin.
“Brother, how about we change our look later?” Oroshiki Marina couldn’t help but suggest.
If the outside world saw him like this, they would most likely think he was a villainous character like a demon king who would destroy the world.
And it's not cosplay, it's the real deal.
"No need. We'll clear the area beforehand and make sure no one else notices."
Yalin snapped his fingers, restoring himself to his original state.
Compared to the Fake Witch and Gaia Foundation, the effect of the Master of Disguise is not diminished by changes in the world's rules, and his own strength remains unaffected, making him quite convenient.
With the plans in place, Hoshimiya Mukuro will likely be able to resolve his inner conflict soon and contribute to his takeover of the Sixth Territory.
......
Inside the Elf Apartment, Hoshimiya Rokuro suddenly shivered and looked around warily.
She always felt like she was being watched.
But in this apartment building, who can do that?
Even though she resented Yalin, she had to admit that his strength was quite terrifying, no less than that of the phantom that had given her the spirit crystal.
Only after signing the contract did she feel at ease living there, agonizing over whether to regain her memories while venting all her resentment on Yalin, the culprit.
This is to free oneself from the fear of unlocking memories.
This has become her habit.
Volume 1: Chapter 144: Hatred and Peace of Mind (4k)
"elder sister..."
As Hoshimiya Rokuro pondered the word, her head began to throb with pain. A mix of sadness and longing welled up within her, causing her heart to swell with turmoil.
She couldn't bring herself to unlock her memories, and her resentment towards that man only deepened day by day.
After all, he was the one who caused everything. If it weren't for Yalin's coercion, she should still be sleeping peacefully, without joy or sorrow, until the world comes to an end.
Although she has met some elf companions who are all quite good friends, they cannot compare to real family and cannot fill the emptiness in her heart.
However, Yalin, whom she should have hated, became clearer in her distress.
Just thinking about it gives me an urge to grit my teeth... and a tiny bit of peace of mind.
Erya, who came to the living room to get water, looked at the conflicted girl, couldn't help but scratch her hair and mutter to herself.
"Xiao Liu's situation is a bit difficult to handle. If things continue like this, the accumulated emotions may make her even more paranoid."
If Nia isn't ready with a plan yet, I can't just stand by and watch; I have to give her a push. That's right, Nia Honjou has also made a plan to win over Hoshimiya Mukuro.
However, considering that Yalin wasn't interested in this, and that he was naturally good at dealing with girls, he hadn't used it before.
However, given Hoshimiya Rokuro's emotional fluctuations, if we continue to ignore her, she might fall into extremes.
For a normal person, the probability of this is not high.
But every single one of these elves has psychological issues. They cannot be viewed through the eyes of ordinary girls.
Even Niya, after acquiring the Whispering Scripture, found it difficult to maintain trust in past relationships and could only maintain a superficial friendliness.
