Could it be during the same time he was sent out from Elysium by Aunt?
The equally sharp-witted Kurt seemed to have thought of that. And instantly, a storm could be seen
brewing in his pair of beautiful, narrow eyes.
“Did you remember something?”
In truth, Sebastian had been quietly observing him and had only curiously popped the question after not
getting a response from the young boy.
“I-I… just thought about the timeline of everything that has happened. Brother Cal was only three when
my aunt sent him away. At that time, Daphne was still the high priest of Elysium.”
“And?”
“And on the year I received the death sentence, Daphne was thrown into the River of Styx after her
schemes got uncovered. Given this circumstance, how is it possible that she managed to give birth to a
son five years older than me? There’s no way she could get married and start a family as the high priest
of Elysium!”
Kurt’s face became more and more pale.
Exactly, I must be right. Based on the timeline I’ve calculated, Daphne must be carrying Jason while she
was still holding onto the position of Elysium’s high priest since the latter is five years older than me. But
why did no one from Elysium know about it? Moreover, how did she manage to replicate Brother Cal’s
appearance and make Jason look like his duplicate?
The complicated relationships and time of events in the entire matter had only left Kurt’s head spinning.
Fortunately, there was still the existence Sebastian. With this man’s exceeding intelligence, one could
call him the nemesis of those people.
“If I guessed correctly, she should’ve been colluding with Eddie long ago.”
“W-What? C-Colluding…?”
“Yeah. I’ve found out while I was in Jadeborough for the final battle with Eddie that he had two dens—
one located below Aquene Temple, and the other was at the old Durant residence in Xenhall. Logically
speaking, those definitely aren’t enough for someone like him who had planned such a huge scheme
and stayed in the shadows for that long. So, he’d have to look for a wider location that he could have
influence over. And the best option available for him was probably Elysium!”
After calming himself down, Sebastian tried to pull his thoughts and the leads he had together and
analyzed the entire incident with Kurt again.
It was such a shocking revelation that Kurt’s jaws dropped to the ground, unable to utter a single word.
So, that means Eddie has been colluding with Daphne long ago because he has plans to usurp Elysium
as one of his territories? That’s right, Jason! Since no one in Elysium knew that the two brothers were
dead, if Jason returns with that face, he’ll be able to inherit the position of Elysium’s leader. Or perhaps,
more accurately, the son of the leader!
Now that they had laid out all their available leads, Kurt could finally understand why Daphne had made
sure to drag him down together after inciting Cynthia to plot a rebellion with her.
So she did that so that my foolish dad would lose two sons in one go. Now that I see, there is probably
barely anyone in Elysium who can take charge by himself.
At that point, Kurt had fully grasped the entire situation.
As he stood frozen on the spot, his handsome face paled so much it was as white as a sheet as that
unquenchable fury burned within him.
“I-If that’s the case, then I’d have alerted them, right? I-I even let that pair of mother and son off the
hook… I’m sorry, Uncle Sebastian…”
He had finally woken up to the truth.
Perhaps because he was still a young boy, after all, and had too little life experience, it was evident he
tried to hold back his tears as he spoke.
After encountering such a huge matter for the first time, he was overwhelmed with panic and immense
guilt.
Sebastian stood up and gave a pat on the shoulder of that boy.
“There’s no need to worry. Now that Eddie is no longer around, all that’s left are those remnants. They
might be thinking of making a comeback, but that still greatly depends on whether they can do that or
not.”
“So… what do you mean, Uncle Sebastian?”
“If you’re willing, I’ll arrange for you to head back to Elysium right away. That way, you’ll be able to save
your mom and sister. Didn’t Daphne say she’ll bring you to the River of Styx to save them?” Sebastian
blurted that out of the blue.
Again, Kurt was left dumbfounded.
“Y-You’ve found out about it?”
“Yeah, so I’ll allow you to go if you want to. If I guessed correctly, those remnants should’ve infiltrated
Elysium at this point. Devin had previously spent a long time in Jadeborough investigating Duncan’s
death, yet there were no clues to the identity of the hidden powers behind him. Now that this matter has
come to light, my gut feeling tells me it must be Elysium.” Sebastian nodded as he made that comment
confidently.
One might ask, did he not hurt his head?
In truth, he did not. It was just that there were many things that he still could not fully comprehend since
he was in a coma for a prolonged period.
The three-year coma had left him disconnected from various matters. Accompanied by the lack of
synchronization with Kurt, it thus resulted in loopholes in his planning the night before.
Naturally, the plan was not as perfect.
Hence, when Kurt heard those explanations, he could not help but submit to that man.
With his eyes filled with admiration and enthusiasm, he fixed his eyes on Sebastian as he stepped
forward. “Uncle Sebastian, I’m willing to go. As an Elysian, I’m sure I’m the perfect fit for this mission!”
