Chapter 1496
Nicole had always been somewhat of a daughter to Zane, and yet, he felt like he had become something of a servant to her now. All in all, it was just an unpleasant feeling for Zane.
Nicole did not notice Zane's reaction as she was pondering about the causes and consequences.
’I'm afraid that the Rebys did not destroy the crests," she said. "Instead, they kept it."
"Are you saying that there are more crests out there?” Carl looked at Nicole, shocked.
Nicole shook her head. "I'm not sure about that, but it's not easy to procure the crests. I'm probably the only person in this world who can do it."
The three men immediately fell silent after they had heard what she had said. They knew what Nicole was capable of and that she was not lying.
'Doesn't this mean that Nicole is the only person who can own all five of the crests if she's the only person who can acquire them?' Zane thought, becoming restless at the notion that Nicole could possibly own more than one of these.
’Listen, you just got this thing, and it has already gotten you into so much trouble. It'd be best if you do not pursue the other crests. Otherwise, even Zane's organization won't be able to keep you safe.”
It was a different time as compared to a thousand years ago. Only about two thirds of the families in the Holy Alliance are still around, and only half of them are considered to be the most prestigious families in the world. It had been so many years, and there are many more mysterious and ancient families that were equally powerful. Things would only get worse if those families were to come after the crests.
"It’s better for us to take ownership of them, instead of letting them fall into the hands of those with devious intent." Nicole looked at Zane with an expression of seriousness on her face.
