Chapter 428 Chapter 428 – Most Likely

"Please, continue," Julian said with a happy smile.

Mundus looked back at Julian.

"Kugelblitz's progress is slow, and Anatomy intends to capitalize on that. If they won't grab the Specter, we will," he said.

"Nevertheless, the Specter has proven that it can rival a level six Extractor, which makes it very dangerous. Without more information, we also won't risk a confrontation."

"That's where Dark Dream comes into play," Mundus said before he turned to look at Nick.

"There has been no reliable method to lure the Specter's minions out. Kugelblitz has not managed to create one."

"It seems like the only way to get a minion is you."

Mundus looked into Nick's eyes, which looked back.

"Do you have a way to attract more minions?" he asked.

Naturally, Nick and Julian knew that this was a tricky question.

After all, this most likely concerned Envy.

If Nick said that the Specter was interested in him, Mundus would grow interested.

Why would a level six or level seven Specter be interested in a Veteran?

And if even such a strong Specter wanted something from Nick, maybe they would also be interested in acquiring this mysterious thing.

But if they said that they didn't have a way to lure the Specter out, things could also turn ugly.

For one, Mundus could become suspicious.

What did Dark Dream need to hide so badly that they even refused an opportunity to earn several Specters?

Or maybe Mundus believed them, in which case he would drop the matter and leave.

Everything was risky.

"Yes," Nick said.

Mundus' eyes slightly narrowed.

"Would you be interested in selling this method to us?" he asked.

"I'm sorry," Nick said, refusing the offer.

"Even for three Adults?" Mundus asked.

Julian chuckled.

"Drop it, Mundus," he said casually. "We're not selling."

"Only renting." Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The room fell into silence.

If the Specter attacked, it might lose even more of its minions.

And based on what Nick could see, this was a Specter that put great value on its minions.

Most likely, this was a Specter similar to the Parasite.

If someone killed all of the Parasite's minions, it would lose a devastating amount of Zephyx.

Every minion represented an investment.

Losing two Specialists was already a big blow to the Specter.

If it lost another two, the humans might gain the confidence to truly invade.

That would most likely prove to be extremely risky.

But on the other hand, if the Specter didn't try to catch Nick at such an opportune moment and Envy found out, it might actually die.

When it came to having Specters as servants, being true to one's words was the most important.

If Envy just kept threatening all its minions with their lives without actually going through with the threat, no one would listen to Envy anymore.

Envy had to kill problematic servants.

Because of that, the Specter to the north would genuinely be risking its life if it decided against attacking.

This was problematic, and Nick could imagine the pressure the Specter was under.

'What would I do in this situation?' Nick thought.

Nick thought about this for a couple of seconds.

Eventually, he took a deep breath.

"Most likely," he answered. "The Specter will attack with its full or close to its full force."

"Alternatively, nothing will happen."

"I don't think there is a between."

"It's either all or nothing."

Nick looked at Mundus.

"The Specter's minions are the people who have gone missing in the past, I have heard," Nick said.

Mundus didn't refute that statement.

"And since at least one Hero has vanished in the past, at least two Heroes will attack."

"The Hero that has vanished and the Specter itself, which should be a Demon. If there is another Hero minion, that one will most likely also show up."

"That's what I think will happen," Nick said.

Mundus, the only Hero of Anatomy, looked at Nick with a neutral expression.
