SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Jus Maleficii [2.]

Ferris’s expression darkened at the thought.

The Dark Viper Guild had operated within his jurisdiction for years. He had long suspected that the Guild was involved in activities that crossed far beyond the boundaries of what a legitimate Hunter Guild should be doing, but suspicion was one thing and evidence was another. Despite years of investigation, Ferris had never managed to obtain anything substantial enough to bring the Guild down.

He had never imagined that the truth would eventually surface in a manner like this.

Still, Ferris quickly pushed those thoughts aside. No matter what personal feelings he might have toward the Dark Viper Guild, he was still a Branch Director of the Hunter Association. He represented the Association, and as such, he couldn’t allow his personal emotions to interfere with how he handled the situation.

"Mr. Kael, I’ll send some officials over to collect whatever evidence you have."

"There’s no need," Kael replied. "I already have someone delivering it to your branch. It should arrive any time now."

Kael wasn’t lying.

The person handling the delivery was, of course, Varek.

Although Kael had obtained most of the Dark Viper Guild’s secrets by extracting them from Morgan’s memories, memories alone wouldn’t serve as physical evidence that could be submitted to the Association. He needed something tangible, something that could be independently verified.

That was why he had sent Varek to retrieve everything they could find.

The Dark Viper Guild had been careful about its dealings. They had kept records of their activities and maintained enough evidence to keep the people involved in their illegal operations under control. There were CCTV recordings, transaction records, communication logs, documents, and countless other pieces of information hidden throughout their facilities.

Kael had seen some of them through Morgan’s memories.

Now, those very records would become the evidence that protected him.

Ferris remained silent for a while.

"Alright, then."

His tone had become noticeably more serious.

"The Association will remain in contact with you while the investigation is ongoing, so try to stay accessible."

Kael couldn’t help smile.

He knew exactly what that meant.

The Association was politely telling him not to disappear.

"Sure," Kael replied. "I hope you can handle the investigation quickly."

"I’ll handle it to the best of my ability."

"Alright."

"Then I’ll stay in touch, Mr. Kael."

With that, the call ended.

Kael lowered the phone and sat quietly on the edge of his bed, staring at the screen for several seconds. The conversation had gone about as well as he expected, and with the evidence Varek was delivering, he wasn’t particularly worried about the outcome.

He finally let out a small sigh.

"Well, guess that’s that."

Kael turned his head toward the bedroom door.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"You know, I can sense you perched at the door, right?"

Silence.

For several seconds, nothing happened.

Then the door slowly opened.

Lyra stepped inside, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Sorry for eavesdropping," she said. "I couldn’t help it. I was so worried."

"It’s okay."
