I’ll Just Be Friends With My Ex-Husband - Chapter 73-1
All the light that came from the lamp flickered as the movement was felt on the table. The room was locked in darkness. Gerald was sitting gracefully in a crossed leg posture. His deep eyes turned to the table.
So far, it’s been flowing as I thought. Nigrum marked a shocking start and began to dig carefully into the crowd. So far it was just a small gathering. There were a few people who gathered and could be seen as insincere.
It’s okay now. No matter how great Murray’s miracle was, Gerald did not think the interest they had would last more than a month.
He knew it would not be enough to attract more attention from the Royal Family, and when people’s interest cooled down, he needed to have a second miracle. The place and target for the second miracle were already set.
Today was the day to discuss it.
[You’re so smart. Such as a sly snake. Sometimes you’re as bold as a prosecutor. I’m glad I got a man like you, now I suddenly feel sorry for my brother.] Black Uroboros said in a pleasant voice.
Laughing, it seemed pleased by what was going on. Gerald swept his lips with his fingers and smiled. It was already the third time he came back to life.
If you can’t be as sneaky as Uroboros says, then you’re stupid. IF you had not found an answer, you would have wasted that time. Gerald was confident that he would not lose in a fight that required his wits.
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
“Sit down.”
The man bowed to Gerald’s chin then sat across from him. The face of the man without his hood was revealed.
“Rather, I’m grateful to you for taking on an important job, Brenti.” Gerald smiled.
Brenti arranged his brown hair and smiled softly.
“………No.” Brenti shook his head gently.
“I’m rather grateful to be chosen as a disciple of God. I’m glad Mr. Murray’s situation went well.”
“Didn’t he find out who we were? Was he suspicious?”
“No, he didn’t.”
“That’s a relief.”
“As you said, now everyone in the Empire is leaning toward the Nigrum. As far as I know, the Crown Prince is also slowly making his move. Since the White Temple was humiliated by Murray and left as if it couldn’t do anything at all, the Crown Prince will also be alarmed. The museum will open this weekend.”
“Well.” Gerald knew about the museum, too.
It was said to have opened before, but suddenly canceled and postponed the schedule. He said he had more time to prepare.
I don’t know what he’s up to, but the fact that the Crown Prince spends his time in the art museum ahead of his enthronement meant that there’s a high possibility that what’s in it is related to God.
Looking at the reaction now, he was going to refute Nigrum and the books that are popular these days.
“Shouldn’t we do something? The Crown Prince is expected to prepare several events together.”
“We’d better just watch for a while. If you move too aggressively from the start, you’ll attract unnecessary attention. I think you’d better curl up for a while and see how things are going.”
“The next miracle is….”
“You don’t have to worry because we’ll carry out what we promised.” Gerald affirmed.
The next target was Brenti’s younger brother. Brenti’s brother has been suffering from an illness since birth. Most of the doctors in the Arena Empire had said that it was impossible for him to heal.
There’s not much time left for him. It’s going to be hard to get past twenty. Now Brenti’s brother is 19 years old. He was already approaching the age of 20 and as the doctors predicted, he would die at that age.
That’s why Gerald was the first to pick Brenti and he realized that he was the right person among the nobles. In order to imprint the power of the Black Uroboros on people, they had to be able to do what others could not.
The Black Uroboros said it was not just about saving the dead, it was also about having the incurable disease cured. Brenti had accepted the offer from Gerald on several conditions.
He will have to become the Great Priest of Nigrum, he would be the one to perform the miracles. Those were two conditions that Brenti wanted.
