Chapter 547: We Can User Her Son as Blackmail Material

“What a turn of event this has became,” After I showed the Professor to mother mohawk, Albert just entered the interrogating room we’re in nonchalantly.

“What are you doing here? Go back to your room, young man,” I said.

“Shut up, mom. And you’re not my mom anyway,” Albert said.

For him to come here on his own. I guess he has judged mother mohawk to not be a hostile. And another guess is that he feels safer here with me.

Angela might be able to protect Albert if mother mohawk attacked. But with me being so close in an enclosed room with mother mohawk, I can easily kill her before she attacked. With my Divine Vision, I can tell if she’s making a move on us or not.

Hmm? Wait. The Professor is an old man. And the son mohawk is so young. The mother mohawk looks to be in her thirties. Is the Professor a late-bloomer?

“So, the Professor is the father, you are the mother, and the boy you talked about, the one that my friend over here captured or kidnapped, was your son? Am I right?” Albert asked mother mohawk. As for the Professor, he’s still being restrained and unable to say anything.

.....

“Right. My son was dying, and that man over there said that he might be able to heal my son if he experimented on the boy. I told him that he must perform the experiment on me first. If there’s any side effect on the experiment, he must not perform it to my son. And the experiment was a success. Although during his experiment I was not hypnotized, my son was. So, I thought of leaving him. But as long as my son is still there, I can’t leave,” mother mohawk said.

So, the Professor used his own son to get his wife to stay with him. Is that it?

While Albert asked mother mohawk, I was also thinking of why the Professor is so old while his wife and son were young. It’s because they were artificial master level mages.

I was surrounded by several expert level mages that I can tell how mages will still look younger than they are if they advanced their magic level. Maybe not all since I see some old expert level mages as well. But there’s a possibility that they reached an old age before becoming an expert level mages. Well, they ended up dying in my hand anyway.

So, I guess mother mohawk is older than I think. And what about the son? Don’t tell me that he’s actually an adult? But he’s still under the effect of the Noise Bomb, which can only be heard by young people. Or me and anyone who has extremely good hearing.

Let’s just ask them how old their son is.

“I have another question. How old is your son? And when did he got experimented on?” I asked mother mohawk.

“He’s thirteen years old. He was experimented around six years ago,” mother mohawk replied.

Six years ago? So, that was around the time when the boy was seven, I guess. And the boy’s appearance is also the appearance of a boy around twelve or thirteen. I guess they can still grow up after becoming an artificial master level mage.

And how does one awakened their element when they were young? Well, since Lana was already an ice mage as soon as she was born, I guess it’s possible if the Professor pushed the children’s magical aptitude during experiment.

“Anyway, who are you? I have noticed that you were listening to us the whole time. And why is he here?”

After mother mohawk asked Albert and the others who they are, she pointed her finger to the Professor. I guess she hates him so much. Does it mean it’s possible to bring her to our side?

“He’s one of your targets for your mission. The king of Tatrama Kingdom, Albert... I forgot his full name. Well, that’s not important anyway. And these two behind him are my trusted friends,” I said.

I have no problem introducing everyone here. Though I still kept my Blobbyarmor since I don’t want my identity to be revealed. Though just with Kayla and Angela here, anyone who knows the two should know about me one way or another, right? Well, I just keep the armor just in case. I also told her that I captured the Professor for interrogation.

“Oh, really? So, the troops we were facing was the soldiers from Tatrama. Does Tatrama kingdom employs monsters? There were too many monsters with them that I don’t think there are enough tamers or summoners compared to the humans we were facing,” mother mohawk said.

“Among those monsters, only three are contracted monsters. The rest are wild monster unbinded by contracts. We’re just that good in asking for help. And the troops are combined troops of Tatrama Kingdom, Varadis Kingdom, and Arturo Kingdom. As for soldiers from Consenza Empire, they are guarding the capital since that’s where you’re attacking,” I said.

“The four kingdoms have made alliance? But Arturo Kingdom is...”

Mother mohawk stopped talking since Albert interrupted her.

“It has been taken care of. The fake king who was with us for the tournament has been arrested, and the real king has returned to Arturo.But he’s no longer able to gain the people’s trust because he has been swapped without anyone knowing, so the original crown prince, Fabio, the one who was supposed to be dead, has been coronated as the king. It was just a few days ago. It’s impossible for you to know about this information unless you have a way to communicate from long distance in an instant,” Albert said.

“...I see. So, you have prepared fo the attack this much, huh?” mother mohawk asked.

“Rather than preparing for the attack, we used the tournament to bait the cult to attack us. We were prepared ever since the tournament was just an idea. Even before the tournament in Tatrama,” Albert said.

“Is that so...”

While Albert and mother mohawk were talking, I can see the Professor’s expression seems to hold a hope in it. What hope? Is the cult have some sort of secret that can get them to succeed in this mission?

“Oh, by the way, will there be any master level mages attacking? Or is it just artificial master level mages?” I asked.

“I don’t know about that. Though I never see any real master level mages among us before we departed. Though I don’t think that’s the case,” mother mohawk said.

“Why?”

“The man in charge of this mission is too prideful. And he has a goal which is to achieve master level mage. He’s too greedy. There’s no way he would ask any master level mages to participate in this mission. He wanted to get all the credits for himself. Though he’s just sending us to fight while he’s hiding somewhere,” mother mohawk explained.

She then told us about the man in charge. He was just an expert level mage who has quite high position in the cult.

“What is the chance of that guy asking master level mages to come?” I asked.

“Near zero. Why ask?” mother mohawk asked.

“Because after you told us who the guy in charge of the mission was, that Professor has despair in his face. Seems like the mission is bound to fail,” I said while pointing my finger to the Professor.

Seems like the Professor knows the guy. And he knows he won’t ask any master level mage to come. That’s good to know.

“But what is the chance of him asking for help anyway? The guy who retreated after knowing that I’m an Aura user were with you after he left the fight the first time. You should have known that you were at least fighting one Aura user, right?” I asked.

“I didn’t even remember about what to do once we encounter an Aura user until that guy told us that he has reported about the appearance of an Aura user. But for the guy in charge, I know that he’s too greedy. He won’t tell anyone that your side has you, an Aura user, to the Archbishop. Unless you win the battle and none of us returned to report. The Archbishop will be suspicious and asks him what happened. Probably, he will tell him that an Aura user existed at that time,” mother mohawk said.

That’s great! People’s greed is amazing! Especially is if they are enemies. And they are too blinded by their own greed. I have to thank him if we meet in the future. Only if he’s alive of course.

If the Evil God knows that he kept the existence of an Aura user as secret until they lose so many people, he might be killed.

And seeing the Professor’s expression and Albert’s reaction, I can tell that she didn’t lie. That mean I should be safe for a while longer. That’s good.

After Albert asked some more questions, it’s time to decide if we can let her live or not.

“Will you join us destroying the cult? We will see if we can trust you in the battle. If our Aura user has decided to trust you, you can meet your son again,” Albert asked mother mohawk.

“What if I refuse?”

“Then you will be restrained here until the battle is over. As for meeting your son, we will decide that later. How about it?”

Mother mohawk then looked at the Professor, and she made a decision.

“I’ll help you. I always hated the cult. The only reason I stayed was to protect my son. But I won’t use magic until I exhaust all my mana. I still want to live to meet my son,” mother mohawk said.

“Good. You will be a great addition to our team. By the way, what’s your name?” Albert asked.

“My name is Iris,” mother mohawk replied.

“Alright, Iris. That Aura user will watch over you. If you betray us, he will kill you. Or worse. He will use your son to blackmail you. He’s that kind of guy,” Albert said while pointing his finger at me. And I just waved my hand to Iris.

“...I’ll keep that in mind,” Iris said.

Good. With this, we have one artificial master level mage with us. As long as we hold her son in our custody, she won’t betray us.

Just in case, I told Sonia to inform Russell about Iris’ son and get him to undo the brainwashing the last. This way, she will be with us for a while longer.
