Chapter 874 We Mistook Him
Lifa then advanced her aim to urge Jack. Still, strangely the latter just agreed to compensate even though the value required for it was exorbitant.
“The cost is huge, but in the face of value, it is quite cheap. Why would you need a communications satellite too, in the first place?” Jack looked at the report and was somewhat surprised.
“To try to open communication between realms, perhaps?” Lifa scratched her head. She didn’t expect this kind of outcome because everything seemed easy and smooth.
There was no resistance or clash of power. Jack complied right after realizing Xentia had emotions.
‘Jack would probably risk his life to bring back Xentia if that happened. America wants to bring back their first artificial man to make a few others. However, Xentia was too dangerous to be left alive and would soon be annihilated once they finished researching her. Unfortunately, Xentia has emotions and he backs down because of that.’ Lifa patted her chin while thinking and considering a few things.
“That’s a crazy thing, I must say.” Jack glanced back. He ordered his aides to do something to the higher-ups from other countries.
“What do you want to do with them?” Lifa raised an eyebrow. She had no idea why Jack’s aides put everyone who fainted into a sitting position.
“We need to put them in a confused state. They won’t be able to remember clearly what happened in the last few minutes before they fell unconscious.” Jack shrugged.
“Hou~ That’s why you didn’t hesitate to say sensitive things at the beginning? You have a lot of prevention methods for the worst-case scenario, huh.” Lifa nodded in understanding. She did notice Jack’s aides emitted several mysterious energy waves that seemed to have the effect of erasing short memories.
“That’s of course. I’m dealing with a bunch of God-class entities. Some of you aren’t even humans.” Jack leaned back in his seat. He could notice some hidden floating high-level little spirits among the girls.
“Jack Vazquez, I want you to answer one of my questions. Why does America want Xentia? It’s just between you and us. We won’t do anything to you, and I hope you tell the truth or we’ll read your mind.” Lifa suddenly put on a solemn expression. She must know the truth here and now.
“They believe Xentia has all the crucial information of all countries connected to the primary satellites. If she is still an artificial human like an AI robot without heart and emotions, she can destroy humanity or take over the world. She is also possible to make humans extinct and make Earth as the era of artificial humans or robots. It doesn’t matter whether she is under your protection or not. Fortunately, she somehow became a human with emotions under your care. We have no reason to destroy her. Are you satisfied with this?” Jack didn’t hesitate to tell the truth as he was sure it would be useless to hide it.
“Oh, all right. You don’t have to worry then. Xentia will be fine with us as we’re the law and justice enforcers. She’s a good girl, actually.” Lifa nodded in understanding. The matter regarding Xentia was now settled and clear.
“Then, I’m relieved, and I believe the other higher-ups will be the same.” Jack heaved a sigh of relief.
“If you’re not a bad person, then what’s with the black demon behind you?” Sylvia raised her hand. She believed a human-like shadow was a demon, but she wasn’t so sure now.
“He is my knight stand, Shadow Clone. I met him when I was in rank three. We grew up and ascended in power together. Also, he is not a demon, but a dark-type spirit. He can easily be mistaken for an evil spirit. Although his true form may look gruesome to some, he is a chivalrous spirit.” Jack turned his chair and patted his stand on the shoulder.
Shadow Clone grinned widely and bared his long white fangs.
“A dark-type spirit who likes to eat raw fish? Why did you include that weird info in your biodata? You didn’t truly try to keep your stand’s info a secret...” Sylvia asked in wonder.
“Only a certain people can know about it. It’s done so the government will sends us lots of fresh high quality fish for free every day? You’re Sylvia, right? Everyone has their own preferences. I also have the same passion as him. There’s nothing bad about that.” Jack raised an eyebrow and looked at Sylvia with a strange look.
“You think I’m the weird one here?” Sylvia folded her arms.
‘How?’ Elysia asked Lifa.
‘It’s okay. America’s representative has apologized. They will compensate us handseomely too. We mistook that human Demi-God to be the bad guy, but America was just feeling incredibly anxious because Xentia was so dangerous.’ Lifa explained a bit.
“The superhuman experiments we carried out actually only used small animals as test subjects such as mice and guinea pigs. Human experimentation has long been banned and illegal worldwide. Even if it still exists, the Esper Association with the countries involved will take care of it under strict law. Regarding the demonic practitioners, they’re everywhere, and we can’t punish them all. It’s not just America.” Jack suddenly spoke sternly.
“Humans know that contracting with demons is dangerous. The demons will ask for something very expensive and valuable in return for their services. Why do humans still like to sell their souls for temporary pleasures?” Elysia asked in surprise.
“Who knows? No one can read everyone’s heart.” Jack shrugged. He realized Xentia was staring intently at him. He was hated, but he didn’t care.
“Demons seem to want to establish their place on Earth, huh. It’s like an invasion if allowed to continue. It’s been going on for hundreds of years, right?” Victorious now felt the problem was quite serious.
“Why not colonize them to pay them back so they’ll know their place?” Sylvia suggested an idea that came out of nowhere. The demons in her hometown behaved so well and had integrity in their service, unlike the demons on Earth.
*Bam!*
“That’s a great idea, girl! It looks like it’s time for humans to colonize the hell!” Jack slammed his hand onto the table and felt excited.
“Well, hell is too far away for you, weaklings. Maybe, you can start from the Underworld and teach those lowly demons a few lessons if you can. There maybe you can find lots of oil and fuel materials.” Darkness grinned like a cunning fox.
“!?” Jack gasped. It was a question that he could hardly refuse. His goal was set now, but he didn’t want to say it clearly. “Ahem, we will think about it. We will raise that topic for discussion when everyone is awake.”
“Eating raw fish. Even though you are a Demi-God, your digestion is still that of a human. You can get sick from it. At least, clean the fish first like sushi...” Elysia gave a piece of kind suggestion. The issue related to Xentia had been resolved, so she felt relieved now.
“Heh, I’ve already broken through the limits of a human mortal and reached the greater height. Illness is only for the weak, and weakness disgusts me.” Jack put on a cool pose. He had wanted to say that cool words for a long time.
“Just let him die of stomachache and digestive failure.” Xentia threw out a harsh sentence.
“...” Jack fell silent and looked down slightly. It reminded him of the past about the strong reason that pushed him to reach greater heights.
His stand’s preference for eating raw fish might have influenced him. However, he almost died once in the past because he had eaten fresh raw fish from contaminated water without knowing it.
Jack snapped. He suddenly stood on the chair and put one foot on the table. “Too bad, kid. I’ve reached rank eight, and a trained Demi-God can’t get sick. I can eat anything without worrying about anything. Unlike you, the baby girl who can only eat baby porridge and milk!”
“Xentia is not a baby! Xentia also can eat many food!” Xentia gritted her teeth.
“Someone born a few days ago like you? Be thankful that you’ve become a human-like brain now.” Jack snorted disdainfully.
Xentia was about to return the insult, but Elysia suddenly squeezed her cheeks. She then pouted and stared at Elysia.
“Sometimes a boy will mock the other party as a baby, but it can be a compliment for girls. Something like a baby face? You’re our little angel. Ignoring someone can sometimes be more painful and offensive. Let’s ignore that pirate guy.” Elysia put both her hands on Xentia’s cheeks and kneaded them gently like dough.
“Mm~” Xentia nodded, then snorted at that pirate guy. She then hugged Elysia once then went to the back seat to hug Aria. She needed to get out of the spotlight since her issue was over.
A few minutes later, everyone gradually regained consciousness. They were holding their heads in confusion as they felt they had just fallen asleep in the middle of the conference.
“My apologies, but it seems that you all can’t withstand the aura clash between Demi-Gods. Since you’ve all woken up, let’s start the first topic in the discussion. The first and the most important thing are the demonic practitioners. They are the ones who caused chaos in the past month around the world. There were more than a thousand people participating in that demonic grand event–” Jack then presided over the meeting by opening several main topics for discussion.
He had thrown the Xentia’s matters away, and no one would discuss it.
Jack spoke as America’s representative to share the blame with the rest of the world because it was not only America that had fatal problems that needed to be resolved immediately. Since everyone was involved, then no one was to blame. The only one who received the blame was the demon.
After the initial discussion regarding the past month’s events, Jack moved on to the next topic, namely the plan to invade the Underworld as a form of retaliation.
