My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 202 Royal Feast Part-2



At the same time, Leah was a little bit taken aback upon hearing how Azzy was addressed as Rael. She knew that close aides used to call the Death clan founder with the same nickname.

"Greetings, Ms. Smoke, Ms. Drake…"

After greeting the two girls from phoenix academy, his eyes fell on the duo.

Just when he was about to speak further, Gideon exclaimed in surprise, "Woah, Snivy. Is that a love letter? Are you finally graduating from being single?"

Mia and others once again turned towards Snivy who was standing close to Hawk with an envelope in her hands.

It was then Snivy realized everyone\'s eyes are on her. The busty loli, who was already embarrassed, standing beside her crush, quickly rushed forward and lunged at him in anger.

She locked her arms around his neck. "It\'s a message card, you dumbass."

"Ah, Ah, Ah… Alright, forgive me…" As Gideon was being choked by Snivy, Hawk just looked at them in a daze. His feelings were complex, right now.

He excused himself and returned along with this teammate.

"Oh, it looks like nothing is going on." Gideon couldn\'t help but comment on it as soon as Snivy left him.

When Snivy saw her crush leaving away, her anger only increased further. "You damn playboy…"

"Everyone is watching, Snivy." As Mia managed to drag her away, Azzy saw a satisfactory smile appeared on Gideon\'s for a second before his friend turned his attention to the girls. "Sorry about that."

"I\'m Gideon, by the way."

Laura returned the greetings with a simple nod. However, the girl with the green hair and green eyes, commented, looking at him suspiciously, "You kinda looked like someone I know from my childhood. Are you from Freyles?"

Gideon\'s expression stiffened for a fraction of a second before he hurriedly waved his hands in response with a smile, "you must be mistaken. I\'m a commoner who was born and raised in Egrein city. I never visited your country."

Izetta Smoke stared at him for a few seconds and shrugged her shoulders, "my bad. I guess I was wrong."

Gideon laughed a bit awkwardly and stepped away a bit. Azzy assumed that they must have played together when they were young considering they were from the same clan village.

After a while, Leah joined with Izetta and Laura at another table. It was actually such a relief for Claire. Whenever she sees Leah talking to Azzy, her insecurities just awakens all of a sudden like an instinct.

She knew that Leah was better than her in every way whether it\'s beauty, figure, academics, combat skills, or potential.

The only thing that she matches with her is the status of being a royal princess.

As she still doesn\'t know about Azzy\'s feelings yet, Claire couldn\'t help but worry that he would be stolen by this girl.

"I heard that you got a robot as a present, Azrael." As the five of them took a seat in the middle, Mia asked Azzy.

"It\'s quite cool, actually," Gideon replied in Azzy\'s place. One can even see stars in his eyes as he told them. "You know that it cleaned the room and sorted out all the things neatly in just under three and a half minutes?"

"Kia like a personal butler," Azzy added. "It can basically do everything from house chores to helping studies. According to Dr. Mac, it can help one in training by analyzing the moves and showing the optimal choices…"

"Oh!" As the girls exclaimed in surprise, a male husky voice interrupted Azzy, "In the end, they are just puppets that can\'t replace a human being."

A teenage couple was seen entering the hall together, escorted by Barton.

Everyone wondered who these strangers are. Sensing how their soul power is only at low-Elite level (rank-4) and how they were with Principal, a few just assumed they are the students of Aclein.

Even Gideon thought the same and asked Snivy in a whisper, "Are they from ninth grade?"

Snivy shook her head, "It\'s my first time seeing those two."

Azzy grabbed Gideon\'s shirt, pulled him back, and whispered. "Both of them are in the intermediate stage of Exalt realm. They must be one of the important guests."

The girls nearby him were surprised.

Meanwhile, the couple also seemed to be taken aback for a moment as they too heard his words. Neither of them expected Azzy to figure out their real strength.

Barton then introduced them. "This is Ark and Sia. They are from the Abel Tower."

"Abel Tower?" Almost everyone in the room gasped in shock. Never in the world did they expect the representatives of this ancient organization would attend this feast. Even Azzy knows of their existence from the history books, although with another name, "The Guardians."

Everyone felt like this is a heaven-sent opportunity for them to join. However, since Azzy was never interested to get bound to some organization, he didn\'t pay attention much longer and turned to the front.

"Hello." "Hello." Both of these investigators greeted everyone, waving their hands. Taking out the lollipop from her mouth, the girl let out a smile, "we are also of the same age as you guys, just a couple of years, not much. So, no need to be formal with the two of us."

Her statement causes another wave of astonishment among everyone standing in the hall. Even Azzy was surprised that such young people reached a high level in such a short time.

Ark and Sia then continued to walk forward until they reach a table where Azzy and his teammates were standing.

Without looking at any particular person, the male representative opened his mouth, "do you know the best and the worst merit of those machines you talk about? They don\'t have a will on their own, unlike humans. So, they are untrustable."

"But, their will is the human\'s will controlling them…" Not bothering to stand up like his friends, Azzy spoke in return without backing down from an argument as he doesn\'t care about their identity like everyone else. "So, trusting those means we actually trust the human that was controlling them. So, in the end, it depends on what type of human is the controller."

"Hmm, that\'s right." Gideon couldn\'t help but nod in agreement, earning a swift elbow strike from Snivy, indicating him to read the situation around.

"And how would you find out who the true controller is?" Ark was always the type to question everything until he sees a clear outcome. So, what started as a piece of advice from Ark turned into a debate between the both of them…

Sia also knew her cousin\'s personality. So, she didn\'t interfere and kept silent.

"Will it be the one that gives you the robots?" "Will it be the one that creates the robot?" "Will it be yourself?" "Or, will it be someone else?" "How will you be able to find out the true controller of the robot?" "If you don\'t know them, then, how will you become sure that you won\'t be stabbed in the back?"

The whole hall filled with silence as Ark questioned Azzy. Some were waiting for an answer while some were hoping for Azzy to be taught a lesson for challenging a higher realm expert from Abel Tower.

Amid everyone\'s gazes, Azzy didn\'t even hesitate to give an answer, "If a robot tries to stab me in the back, then, I will destroy it without hesitation and I won\'t feel remorse either. However, if it is human, I might hesitate. Even if I kill them, I might still feel guilty later on…"

Ark felt silent for a second. Just when everyone thought it was over, he glanced at the people around Azzy and asked, "Then, how much amount of trust you have in these four around you? If you are going on a dangerous trip, let\'s say, looking for a treasure, who will you choose?

Will you choose the four robots with uncertainty over their loyalty or will you choose these four friends of yours whom you spend your time with? Machines or Humans?"

Azzy suddenly went silent.
