GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2310: Foolish Boy.

The fate weaver didn’t find the killer yet, but she quickly narrowed down his place of death. She even found the street where he died.

This much progress was made in a few hours of work, but Sir Kris wasn’t happy with the development of the investigation because it revealed that Cedric had died in Reinfield City.

The result of the investigation made Sir Kris curse. “What a stupid boy! What a foolish boy!”

“What was he doing in Reinfield when I specifically told him to leave the Wessex kingdom entirely? No, that is the wrong question. The right question is why he would defy me and stay in the one place he mustn’t be.”

“I am not surprised that he was killed. In fact, I would be more surprised if he didn’t die when he decided to stay here. He truly deserved to be killed.”

“Now I’m glad that I disowned him early on. He is just too stupid and would have been a waste of money to continue to support him. He was a completely foolish boy.”

He didn’t think he could become angrier, but Cedric’s foolishness truly performed the miracle even in death. This made him speak out in anger for a long time until he came to the conclusion that Cedric deserved to die.

Cedric is already dead, so nothing about Cedric’s death should have angered him more than usual. All he wanted to do was recoup the loss of investment that he had made in Cedric.

He also wanted to find the money and resources that he gave to Cedric for him to start a new life abroad. But when he found out that Cedric had died in Reinfield City, he had to become angrier because the circumstances of his son’s death will make it more difficult for him to investigate the killer and punish the killer without drawing public attention.

He can guess why Cedric would still stay in Reinfield City after being disowned and specifically told to avoid the Wessex kingdom completely and avoid Reinfield City specifically. What he guessed made him believe that Cedric’s death is related to the group of people who set him up.

If Cedric stayed back for revenge, then it is not far-fetched to believe that Cedric went after the Golden Hammer gang and was killed during the process. It is not far-fetched to think that the Golden Hammer gang had something to do with the death of his son, but he wanted to be sure.

He wanted to know for sure so he would be able to determine if he should back off or not. He also wanted to know so that he could have something definitive to tell his mourning wife. So he continued investigating.

He was still being secretive about his investigation, and he still employed the services of one person to find the killer. But this time, he chose to employ a rank 6 fate weaver, not a rank 4 one.

The rank 6 fate weaver is the patriarch of a noble family just like him. So he couldn’t just go over to the person and order them to investigate the death of his killer. He couldn’t do that because the rank 6 fate weaver is powerful in their own right and because he isn’t supposed to be investigating his son’s death.

He wanted a rank 6 godclad because of the possession of the Fate Scrying divine ability. The Fate Scrying divine ability is a more advanced version of the Prediction divine ability. It can be used to discover more information, and the results are more accurate.

The most distinction between the Prediction and Fate Scrying divine abilities is that the Fate Scrying divine ability doesn’t require information for it to work. All that is needed for the ability to work is life span.

The rank 1 Prediction divine ability uses mystical and spiritual links between people and information to find the target. But the Fate Scrying divine ability skips all of that to find the answer.

Any question can be asked using the Fate Scrying divine ability, and the answer will be received immediately. In exchange, life span will be lost. The amount of life span that will be lost is dependent on the value of the information.

No one wants to lose their life span if they can get the same result using the rank 1 Prediction divine ability and doing some research. This is why fate weavers rarely use the rank 6 Fate Scrying divine ability to get information.

Fortunately, he didn’t need the rank 6 fate weaver to spend lifespan for what he wanted him to do. All he needed from the fate weaver was an item that could help him find his son’s killer.

This type of item is called a scrying item. It is made using the Fate Scrying divine ability and the Prediction divine ability. It works by temporarily bestowing the power of the Prediction divine ability on an item using the Fate Scrying divine ability.

In the case of finding Cedric’s killer, the rank 6 fate weaver bestowed one of Cedric’s cloths with the ability to turn crimson the closer it is to Cedric’s killer. The cloth that was picked was a white shirt. This will make the color change more obvious.

This action will only cost spiritual energy, not life span. The scrying item can also be used by anyone to find the killer, so the rank 6 fate weaver didn’t have to go about searching himself. All of these made it easy to employ the services of the fate weaver.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work because Cedric’s killer was already dead. A target couldn’t be set for the scrying because the target no longer existed.

Sir Kriss was not happy to hear this at all. On the other hand, his wife was happy to find out that her son’s killer was dead. But Sir Kriss was never interested in the killer’s life in the first place, so he couldn’t be happy about their death.
