Chapter 717 - "Complicated Conspiracy"

Maybe the bosses of those victims also didn't know the reason why their people's energy cores just exploded at one time, and that's why no one mentioned the ECD virus. 

But those who used the virus to defeat their enemies should know about the virus's existence, right? 

Or maybe...maybe the Omniscient Keepers deleted the buyers' memories after the buyers used the virus on their enemies? 

Ainsley blurted out her hypothesis to the Godfather and the rest, and the group couldn't help but sink in silence.

[This is possible. The Keepers might have someone who can erase memories, or they create memory-erasing potions.] 

The Godfather agreed with Ainsley's words, but Cellino, who heard Ainsley's explanation, couldn't help but ask. 

[But master, why do they need to erase the buyers' memories about the virus? They sell the virus...so shouldn't they hope there will be repeat buyers, awooo?] 

Ainsley immediately shook her head. 

[No. I think they sell the virus, not for the sake of profit. Getting money is just one of their goals...but I think they use the buyers as their experiment subject?] 

[...experiment subject...to test the virus' reactions and effects?] The Godfather's voice became a lot colder than before when he mentioned the experiment subject. 

He actually thought that the Keepers would really do that…

[Wait, Godfather, there's still one point that I really don't understand. This is not about the experiment subject– ] 

Ainsley hadn't finished her words when the Godfather interjected. 

[What is it? What things you don't understand?] 

[It"s like this...If they can make such a dangerous virus, they can easily spread it around, and many countries might collapse because of it. Why didn't they spread the virus?] 

The Keepers sounded like a terrorist organisation, ah. But it's weird that they didn't spread the virus around! 

The Godfather pondered for a while before shaking his head. 

[The Keepers' goal isn't to conquer the world or something. Their name is clearly keepers. They believe that they are protecting something...which is the world itself.] 

Ainsley almost bit her tongue at the Godfather's answer. 

What? They're not a terrorist group? They're actually the world police or the world guardians?! Fck– can't understand! No! 

[What keepers...why do they need to protect the world when it's perfectly fine? There haven't been any big wars lately. There won't be a world invasion by aliens or something too…] 

After all, Ainsley didn't believe that this world had an access to another world except through the fairy of space, Chronos' lil crush. 

It's not like this is an interstellar world, ah? 

But the Godfather only showed a bitter smile to Ainsley. 

[Obviously, what they think of as threats to the world are something like us...people from another world.] 

It wasn't uncommon to say that otherworldly people often excelled in some fields and became too outstanding that they might break the world's balance. 

At the same time, there would be suspicious Ability Users from time to time who had a uniquely unique ability that could threaten the world. 

Maybe that's why the Keepers developed that virus to weed potential threats from time to time. 

If that's the case, they must have known where their virus would be used, and that's why they approached the potential buyers...

Wait. If that's the case since the Keepers approached Paul before the second round against the Sloan family started...does it mean the Keepers...wanted to harm someone in the Sloan Family? 

Ainsley, the Godfather, and even Zev, somehow reached the same conclusion by just staring into each other's eyes. 

When they tried to investigate which person the Keepers deemed as a threat...Ainsley suddenly bit her lips, and her face paled. 

[...is it because of me? My luck manipulation ability...first, they harm my soul and restrict my luck manipulation ability. Next, they want to kill me indirectly…] 

The Keepers weren't that dumb to target Ainsley openly again. Anyway, since they already knew her identity from the previous interaction, they targeted Ainsley in the dark. 

No, they targeted her family instead because it would be the same as targeting Ainsley. 

Ainsley broke in a cold sweat. 

[T-the virus will kill those who hadn't split their cores into many cores…I...I fit that criteria.] 

So...it seems that the virus thingy...was actually a part of a big conspiracy?! 

Ainsley already felt her mind spinning around. 

She didn't know why the Keepers were so obsessed with her that after damaging her soul with special bullets, they also tried to detonate her energy core…

What's with these lunatics?! 

Clearly, the Godfather was also shocked upon discovering this point. 

They were just thinking about the cure and unexpectedly uncovered such a big conspiracy. 

[This generation's Keepers are clearly more creative and sly compared to those in this lord's generation. This generation's Keepers are a tougher opponent compared to their predecessors.] 

The Godfather kneaded his temple and felt that the Keepers were really annoying, mysterious, yet powerful. 

No other mysterious forces actually tried to destroy this organisation, all because the Keepers only focused on 'troublemakers' that they thought of as a threat to the world. 

Since they knew the existence of transmigrators, it became even more complicated. They were obsessed with getting the transmigrators' souls, studying them, etc. 

Maybe they even thought of a way to prevent more transmigrators from accidentally entering their world. 

The Godfather felt like the trouble had been going out of hands, so he coughed and tried to shift the conversation back to the ECD virus' cure. 

[Okay, okay, let's put those matters aside. For now, focus on the cure...let's not hope that we can get the cure from the Keepers.] 

There's no way those people would give us the cure!
