BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2107 Tears
Roan simply nodded. 'Just keep pretending. Even if they set up verifications every time someone asks about key information, there is no way they can confirm it is you.'
Roan was right. Even if Region 12096 was far from the center of the Heavens Realm, it was still part of the three higher realms. The total number of Angels living in the many cities in this region probably surpassed the hundred billion mark. Just how many Angels stopped to ask about Long Distance Teleport Formation on a daily basis? Thousands, at the very least.
Rean released his Divine Sense Bending Skill just slightly. Not enough to prevent anyone's Divine Sense from checking him, but strong enough to tell if any higher level Divine Sense was watching him. 'This Void Tempering Realm Angel is indeed the highest level Angel checking me at the moment. That should be okay.'
"F-Friends, did I do something wrong?" Rean pretended to be nervous, seeing those Angels that he 'couldn't' feel the cultivation levels.
The leader of the group of angels who arrived immediately landed on Rean's side. "Don't worry, friend. We are looking for a criminal that deviated from the Heavens' way. We believe he is trying to escape this region, so all cities are under vigilance."
"I-I see... When I asked where I could find more Long Distance Teleport Formations, it set off an alarm regarding this criminal." Rean then 'tried' to calm down while saying that. "I will obviously cooperate with any ongoing investigation. How can I address you, friend? I'm Armaros, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Armaros. I'm the leader of this squad, Sabrelin. We just need to check a few pieces of information regarding your request," said Sabrelin. "Please follow us."
Rean was then brought to another room, away from the crowd in the City Office Hall. Sabrelin didn't waste time and started the interrogation. "Friend, can you tell us why you are looking for the location of other Long Distance Teleport Formations? Pardon me for my bluntness, but someone at the Initial Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm usually wouldn't even have the necessary resources to teleport locally, let alone go on a Long Distance Teleport."
Rean already expected that question. "I don't know if this serves as a reason, but I lived in a small settlement of just a few tens of thousands of Angels near Blucan until now. I've never left because I didn't have the courage to do so. Besides, I have one of the highest cultivations in my settlement, so the other Angels around me counted on my help in many difficult tasks for their level."
"However, in the past hundred years, another two members of my settlement succeeded in reaching the Soul Transformation Realm. Well, partially, it was because I shared my resources with them so that we could increase the lives in our settlement. You can't imagine just how happy I was when they had their breakthroughs," Rean continued.
"Anyway, I can't possibly waste these friends' time here while they were supposed to be looking for this criminal. Simply put, now that my settlement has two new Soul Transformation Realm Angels, my presence isn't as important anymore. I talked to the elders and requested to have myself set free from my duties."
Roan's acting lessons really paid off after all these years. Two tears came out of Rean's eyes as he 'remembered' those moments. "The elders still didn't want to let me go. Yet, the two youngsters I helped reach the Soul Transformation Realm stepped forward and helped me. They promised to stay in the settlement for the next years until more members reached the same realm. Those two idiots knew they might get stuck there for over a hundred years, but they didn't mind. They just wanted to set me free of my years of service."
Rean then sighed as he wiped the tears from his eyes. "Sorry, I got a little emotional. In the end, how could I not gather the courage to leave after such a scene? Ralaciu and Ontrie were really good boys. Oh, these are their names. Now, I have decided that I will explore the Heavens while I live. I don't have family, and my parents have long since died of old age. Such is life. I'm not exactly as talented as you, sirs, so my life span won't extend that much. Nonetheless, I want to enjoy the rest of my life and see as many things as possible."
Even Sabrelin was crying already. "Good! Good! Don't take your cultivation talent to heart, friend. As long as you have lived to the fullest and honestly, that is a life well spent." Sabrelin then looked at one of his companions behind before asking. "Littia, there is no way this friend here is 'that thing from below.' Bring him back to the office and get the information he needs. It's not like it is any secret to start with."
Littia was also drying her tears as she nodded. "Yes, sir. Friend Armaros, please follow me."
Rean's eyes brightened, and he quickly got up. "I'm so sorry for taking so much of your time. Thank you for believing me."
On the inside, Rean felt speechless. 'Holy shit! They totally ignored the fact that I shouldn't have anywhere near enough Heavenly Stones to do these kinds of travels.'
Roan shrugged his should from inside the Dimensional Realm. 'Who cares? Just take the information and get out of here before they notice their mistake and decide to ask more questions.'
'Indeed,' Rean nodded and followed Littia.
