SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Striking A Deal With The Association.

Both Kael and Lyra’s attention snapped toward the phone buzzing on the table. Kael’s expression shifted slightly at the familiar caller ID.

Branch Director Ferris.

Lyra leaned slightly closer, catching a glimpse of the name on the screen. Her expression immediately became worried.

"Is that someone from the Association?"

Kael glanced at her before looking back at the phone. He could already guess why Ferris was calling. After all, he had wiped out an entire Guild the previous night, and judging by the timing, it was only natural that the Association had started investigating what happened.

Seeing the worry on Lyra’s face, Kael gave her a small smile.

"You don’t have to worry. I’ve got this. I’ll go take care of it."

He stood from his seat and picked up the phone before walking toward his room. Lyra remained where she was, watching him disappear through the doorway. Even after Kael closed the door behind him, the concern on her face didn’t disappear. She trusted her brother, but knowing the Association was calling the morning after what happened last night made it difficult for her not to worry.

Meanwhile, Kael entered his room and closed the door behind him. He walked over to his bed and sat down on the edge, his eyes falling onto the caller ID once more. There was no reason to keep Ferris waiting, so he answered the call.

"Good morning, Mr. Kael."

Ferris’s voice came from the other end.

"Good morning to you too," Kael replied casually. "To what do I owe this call?"

There was a brief silence.

It was short, but Kael noticed it immediately.

"Well, Mr. Kael," Ferris finally said, "did you happen to watch the news this morning?"

"Not really."

Another pause followed.

"Oh."

Kael raised an eyebrow slightly at the response. He could already tell there was more to this conversation than Ferris was willing to say directly.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Kael asked. "Just be straightforward with it."

Ferris went quiet again.

"Well, you see..."

The hesitation in his voice was obvious.

"Dark Viper Guild was destroyed yesterday. All of its members seem to have vanished."

"Oh, is that so?" Kael replied, his tone remaining completely calm. "Did you call to tell me just that, or..."

He deliberately left the sentence unfinished.

Ferris fell silent.

There was indeed something else he wanted to say.

Yesterday’s battle had been far too destructive to go unnoticed. The commotion alone had been enough to draw the Association’s attention, and since the Dark Viper Guild operated within Ferris’s jurisdiction, he’d been among the first dispatched to investigate the scene.

What they found had been little more than ruins.

The area had been reduced to devastation. Buildings lay destroyed, the surrounding area heavily damaged, and traces of an intense battle remained scattered throughout the site. Yet there were no survivors left to explain what had happened.
