NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35-2
“I”LL KILL THAT MOTHERF**ker!!”
As soon as he returned home, Javier vented his anger, screaming.
“To insult me in front of everyone! Conrad! You damn son of a b**ch! I will never forgive you! As soon as I become the ruler of the Koutachi family! I will execute you first!”
“Father! Please calm down!”
Kujo, Javier’s son and the strongest candidate for the next family head, intervened.
“Ultimately, that’s how it will be. So please calm down. There are many ears listening.”
“Ahem!!!”
“By the way, what do you think we should do about Selena’s son?”
“What do we do?” Javier snorted. “Do you believe him? Some guy who appeared out of nowhere claims he can open the Sanctuary?”
“Of course, I don’t believe him.”
“Then why do you care about him?”
“Is there no chance that Selena’s son can actually open the Sanctuary?”
“Are you serious…?”
Javier’s face hardened.
On the day when Otto opened the Sanctuary and obtained the power of the invincible emperor sealed inside…
“I don’t believe it either, but what if he really opens the Sanctuary? Don’t you know what could happen?”
The cunning Javier knew too well what would happen to him if that were to occur.
If the Sanctuary were to open, Conrad would officially recognize Otto as a member of the Koutachi family and would undoubtedly try to eliminate potential heirs.
Pressuring Javier and Kujo slowly, it was not impossible to make Otto the next successor.
“Father.”
Kujo said to Javier.
“You need to make a decision.”
“A decision…?”
“If the Sanctuary opens even for a moment, either you or I will be finished. Don’t you know that grandfather won’t spare us?”
“That’s right.”
“Whether the Sanctuary opens or not is not important to us.”
“You’re right. Even if the sanctuary is opened, it should be open to our hands, not in the hands of someone who we don’t know where they came from. Especially if that someone who we don’t know where they came from is Selena’s son.”
“So we must eliminate him.”
Kujo’s eyes glinted fiercely.
“How long have my father and I waited? Why did Grandfather endure without giving up his position as the head of the family until now? Isn’t it because he didn’t want to pass down the position to me? If the Sanctuary is opened here, the time we have endured will be for nothing. So we must eliminate Selena’s son.”
“But how do we eliminate him? If we act rashly, it could be disastrous…”
“We have prepared for this moment, haven’t we?”
“….!”
“Anyway, Selena’s son is a presence that must be eliminated eventually. This is an opportunity to completely remove a potential threat. Then the Koutachi family will be ours, mine and my father’s.”
“Very well.”
In the end, Javier made up his mind.
“We must eliminate him, even if it is risk.”
“When will we carry out the plan?”
“Tonight. If we procrastinate, we may miss the chance.”
“You have made a wise decision.”
Thus, Javier and his son Kujo planned to eliminate Otto.
To them, there was nothing more fearful than Otto opening the Sanctuary.
***
Later that afternoon,
“Let’s go.”
“Where are you going?”
“You’ll find out when we get there.”
Otto took Camille with him and left the lodging as usual without explaining anything.
“Where are you going?”
One of the knights who was in charge of guarding asked Otto the same question.
“Just to have a look around.”
“Look around… What could that be mean?”
“I came to a foreign land, can’t I look around a bit?”
“Well, that’s true…”
The knight couldn’t refute Otto’s words.
He had received orders from Conrad to protect Otto, but he had never received orders not to let him go anywhere.
“Can you show me around? It’s suffocating to stay in the room.”
“Okay.”
Following the knight’s guidance, Otto looked around the Sanctuary.
And then,
“From here, you cannot enter.”
The knights blocked the way in front of Otto.
This was because the Sanctuary was in the direction Otto was heading.
“Why can’t I go in? I’m opening it in two days anyway.”
“That…”
“Just think of it as a preliminary survey. There’s no reason to prevent me from going in.”
“Well, you’re right.”
The knights didn’t really stop Otto anymore after that.
In fact, the entrance to the Sanctuary was only formally controlled, and anyone from the Koutachi clan could visit it.
Why? Because no one had opened it in the last 1,000 years anyway.
There was no need to waste resources on security measures that no one could open, was there?
It would just be a waste of manpower.
“Wow, it’s cool.”
While wandering around and admiring the entrance of the circular Sanctuary, Otto looked at it from various angles.
‘No way.’
Camille frowned at the thought that suddenly flashed through his mind.
Thinking back on Otto’s behavior patterns, he realized something.
‘Is it now…?’
Just then.
Swoosh!
The entrance to the Sanctuary began to shine brightly.
As Camille had suspected, Otto had taken advantage of the opportunity and opened the Sanctuary.
