Chapter 1418: Sour News
Chapter 1418: Sour News
Klaus never expected an old friend of his to return to him in these chaotic moments.
Blue didn’t just return to him; he also brought with him all his memories of his 5th incarnation. This alone was more than he could ask for. However, looking at the smile on Blue’s face, he knew there was more.
Especially with him now at the Supreme stage, he knew there was something he wanted his help with.
"You clearly didn’t spend your time finding out if I am really the Paragon. So why don’t you tell me why you are here?"
Klaus made it so his trusted allies will find it easy to locate him whenever he reincarnates. He had that much control to engineer their lives to play out a certain way whenever it concerned him.
Blue was one of his memory carriers, just like Pickle Berry, so his finding him this early in his journey isn’t too surprising.
Blue gave Klaus a good look before a sigh escaped his lips... "The Moon Sisters are missing."
"What?" Klaus shifted in his chair.
Back in the day, when he and Blue were roaming the universe stealing from all who they could, they met the Moon Sisters. They were from a powerful and, more importantly, a wealthy family.
They decided to scam them, and so for 20 years, they ran a con on them. When they succeeded and ran, they thought that was all. Two years after the run, the Moon Sisters found Rhazor.
They came to kill him, but ended up in his bed.
Rhazor was one of the players of that era. His bed game was on another level, so after tasting the forbidden fruit, they decided to stay with him.
Years later, they parted ways to return to their families before they began to grow suspicious. The last time he saw them, their family was tasked with using them as bait to flush him out after he became the Paragon.
He saved them and brought them to safety before leaving. When they parted ways the last time, they were True Gods, and after years, they had become Supremes.
They even helped Blue become a Supreme himself. So to hear they are missing, he just can’t wrap his mind around it.
"To tell you the truth, most of the women you messed around with back in the day had gone missing. Three billion years ago, the Moon Sisters came to me to help them steal something from a Supreme of the Heaven’s Court.
I succeeded, and that was the last time I saw them. 300,000 years ago, I received their SOS from the Ring District. By the time I got there, I only saw a devastating battlefield.
I tried searching for them but found nothing. It is as if they have vanished from the face of the universe."
"Strange..." Klaus muttered... "Who else aside from them had gone missing?"
"I found out from the Moon Sisters, but apparently, the Elven Princess and her mother had also gone missing. There is also the General from the Heaven’s Court and the Priestess from the Divine Church.
I don’t know how they knew them or became aware of their past with you, but they had been keeping track of them."
"Have you tried asking those old bags of bones in the Moon Palace if they knew something?"
"Nope. I think we both know they will burn me to ash if I show my face there. However, I found out 100,000 years ago that they also had been looking for the two troublemakers.
Honestly, I think someone from your past you never spoke about had returned to exact revenge."
Klaus shook his head, hearing Blue’s words. "I don’t think so. Most of my enemies are dead, and those still alive will not stoop to kidnapping old flames just to get to me.
Not to brag, but all my enemies are honourable people who would not stoop that low just to get back at me."
"There is a first time for everything. The last I checked, a Supreme is holding a grudge against a mere Early Immortal."
"That bastard is just shameless," Klaus smirked, already aware of Supreme Elder Juo’s schemes. For now, that bastard could only use hired hands to come after him.
He himself could not take that step just to come after him.
"Still, why would someone go after them? It doesn’t make any sense," Klaus scratched his head and then looked at Blue and asked, "After I left, what did the Heaven’s Court do?"
"Nothing drastic. They just rounded up a few allies and planted them on the planets you had lived on. They also hunted down a few of your friends and acquaintances, but most vanished before they could get to them.
The only ones they got were the Dolby family. They are a peaceful family, so after a few brainwashings, they were left alone.
Aside from them, the rest are either hidden or have already become powerful enough for the Heaven’s Court to think twice before offending them.
Also, the Healer you met on our way from the Heavens Garden contacted me 300 years ago. Apparently, she had been selected as a personal physician to someone called the 3rd Heaven’s Daughter.
She still misses you, so she left me a message to give you when you return."
Klaus laughed, a bit happy to hear one of his one-night stands still had him in her heart. "What was the message?"
"She said she is still ready to bear your child, so find her when you return."
He laughed. "Do you know where she was taken?"
"No. But the last time I checked, that 3rd Heaven’s Daughter is a True Immortal and one of the rising stars in the Heavens Academies. Maybe we can run some cons and see if we can secure you an admission."
"I already have an admission, buddy."
"Oh, so you were indeed on a con, huh? I want in."
"No can do, bro. This con can only be run by me. Your involvement will complicate things."
"How boring," Blue smirked, but he knew a con is doomed to fail if it is altered along the way. A good con is set and cannot be modified. Either you stop and plan it again, or you stop and never continue.
Klaus taught him that, and so he didn’t make things hard for him. He also didn’t ask for the details because in a con, the fewer who know, the higher the success rate.
"So what now? I have nothing to do, so put me to work, or else I will die from boredom."
"I have nothing for you, bro. The con I am running requires all my attention. However, there will be a potential con that I have already started planning for.
It will take time to bloom, but it will be ready one day. You will have to wait till then."
Blue smiled. "Don’t just stop there. Tell me something small. Knowing you, you already have 90% of the con planned."
Klaus sighed and leaned back in his chair. Hearing that lovers from his past had gone missing made him feel down. However, he also knew the current him is in no way qualified to do anything.
He needs to reach the stage where even a Supreme will be scared of him. So for now, his focus can only be on growing stronger.
"Fine. The con involves the Heaven’s Court." He paused and looked out the window. "You remember that sword they claimed they found at the Doom Universe? It turns out it was something I created during the Primordial Era. I want it back, and so I am going to steal it right under their noses."
