'Which High-ranking clan legacy ability is this? Perhaps those high-ranking clans that got destroyed after the invasion?' Roger caressed his cheek in deep thought as he watched the incredible adhesiveness and stretchability of the substance. Not to mention, it can take many forms. 'Hmmm... Versatile legacy ability.
Yes, the existence of Legacy Abilities was a perfect cover for the subsequent abilities that he would get from the taboo power system!
As a survivor outside the Wall of Hope. Johan's origin was covered by a fog. The invasion destroyed all the records about his family. Even Caleb himself didn't know if the original Johan had family. Based on the memory he receives, the original Johan was just wandering in the street even before everything happened. No family or relatives. However, no one needs to know that.
Even if anyone wants to investigate him or his background to see if he really has anything to do with a high-ranking can in the past. They won't even know where they will start. Every record of inhabitants of the Wall of Rose in the past was non-existent due to the invasion of Apokalips. Who can refute that he's not actually a High-ranking clan member!? No one! That's why it's a perfect cover for his taboo abilities!
'I don't know what the high-ranking clan of the city would think of me? Or how the ruling class would treat a high-ranking clan member survivor in the past?'
It might be that they would want him to marry one of the women in their clan! Why? What's the benefit that they could get from it? If they really believe that he's from a high-ranking clan in the past. That means that as long as he marries one of the women in their clan. The Legacy Abilities that Johan possessed would flow in their blood. At that time, their bloodline would become further enhanced. Johan's descendants would likely inherit Gum Gum Rubber. Well, at least, that is what their line of thought would be. Probably.
Caleb couldn't help but grin. This made-up bullshit identity of his might become the key to infiltrating the circle of nobility! Just as someone said, if you can't defeat them, be one of them! If you can't tackle it outside, work from the inside! It would be easier for him to know about the world and learn the secrets of the bastards once he become one of them!
What does he need to do? Agree to their marriage, but he should be the one with that choice. Then, get their trust, build a reputation, and once he gets all the things he needs, such as information or resources... Cancel the damn marriage! Accept Shu's proposal and join the Fool Kingdom!
'Fuck... I'm really an asshole!'
Caleb smirked.
"For the new beginning! Glory to the Scouts and the City!"
After the scout felt their voice grow hoarse, they finally stopped. However, excitement was still evident on their red faces.
"Well, that actually felt good. It turned out that creaming your lungs out once in a while was satisfying." Kidd, who was beside Andre, said in wonder.
A scout from team one nodded. "Fuck right?"
Suddenly, Roger clapped to get the attention of everyone. With a smile on his face, his gaze fell to Johan, and said:
"Go on..."
Caleb simply nodded and threw the golden rock that they had acquired from the vampire. As he did so, it accurately fell to the center of the huge hole in the hole.
BOOM!
A golden hue shone accompanied by intense yellow light that blinded everyone present. The scouts had the urge to kneel on the ground and worship the light due to the majestic aura that it suddenly released. However, they suppressed the urge to. How embarrassing it was to worship a damn rock? If they did so, they wouldn't be able to raise their heads in front of their colleagues in the days to come.
