“I want to go to the Ford family mansion...” Ner stood in front of Bernard
Bernard was sitting in his chair with his hands on his desk, looking at Ner anxiously. “The place may be dangerous. I suggest that we wait until the police finish the investigation and then you can go. What do you think?”
“I want to use this opportunity to experience my own purification power.” Ner insisted on her stance
Bernard rubbed his forehead due to his headache
Ner came to his office early in the morning and asked him to let her go to the Ford family mansion
He flatly refused her request
How could he allow the saint to go to a haunted place?
But she was persistent, and refused to leave his office until he allowed her to go
She said she wanted to train in using the power of purification, but Bernard didn't want to risk sending Ner there.
“I don’t think it would be a problem for the Saint to go to that palace...” Biko was standing behind Bernard with his hands behind his back
Bernard looked at his apprentice. “It still seems dangerous to me.”
Biko reassured him. “I will send a group of paladins with her.”
Bernard remained silent and seemed to be thinking about Biko's idea
"I'll go with her too. I think Jason and Emma will be happy to get out of the temple for a while."
"Good..". Bernard surrendered under Biko's persuasion. “Saint, prepare yourself to leave. I hope you will not encounter danger there.."
"Don't worry, Mr. Bernard." Ner smiled as she left the room without delay
Bernard smiled when he saw Ner's enthusiasm
“She may be one of the chosen ones, but now she is just a little girl” Biko's lips rose lightly
"you are right..". Bernard turned his gaze to Biko, who was standing behind the chair. “I can't understand why you agreed to her request.”
“The Ford family is the most powerful family in Cairn City and their heir is one of the chosen ones. I am thinking of building a good relationship with them.” Biko explained
“I understand what you mean...but are you sure you want to go to that place?..”
"What do you mean.."
“You're afraid of ghosts, right?..”

"of course not!". Biko's eyes widened when he heard Bernard's thoughts
"No?". There was a strange look on Bernard's face
He still remembered how terrified and afraid Biko was last night
All indications are that Biko is afraid of ghosts
“Cough..actually I was a little shocked that something like ghosts appeared, but I’m not afraid of ghosts...” Biko was smiling, but he couldn't hide his reddened cheeks
Last night might have been the worst night of his life
He thought it was the end of the world
Who can blame him?
Ghosts were entities that only existed in children's stories
But last night, ghosts appeared and started scaring peaceful citizens
Even a calm man like him would panic
“Oh, I understand...” Bernard's smile widened as he looked kindly at Biko
He realized that Biko wanted to preserve what was left of his dignity
"I'll go get myself ready." Biko made up an excuse to leave the room
He was ashamed of the strange looks Bernard was giving him

"Mr. Elliot, we are still interrogating the palace workers. You cannot enter like this.." A policeman was chasing Elliot to prevent him from entering the library
Elliot arrives at the Ford family mansion to meet Alexander
They must come to some kind of agreement to solve the problem they have fallen into
Elliot stopped walking and turned to the policeman. “I am the current head of the Rayman family, and it is my duty to personally check on Alexander’s health.”
Everything Elliot said was just nonsense
If he could, he wanted to strangle Alexander, who had made him unable to sleep last night
Elliot still can't forget the appearance of those ghosts that appeared on television
He will have nightmares for a whole week because of what he saw. The footage was so frightening that it was banned from being shown after complaints sent by citizens to the authorities
Was Alexander trying to open a portal to the other world or something?
He arrived at the door of the library where the investigation with the palace workers was being conducted
“I was asleep the whole time. So I don't know anything about what happened last night.”
Elliot was about to open the door, but his hand froze halfway when he heard a voice coming from inside the library
This is Alexander's voice
He is able to distinguish Alexander's voice even if he turns to ash
You were sleeping?
You don't know what happened?
Elliot wanted to rush in and tell the officers that this boy was a first-rate liar. If you are asleep then who is the person who summoned those ghosts by performing a suspicious ritual?
Calm down, Elliot, your head's on the line. The Rayman family might be destroyed if the truth leaks out
Elliot took a deep breath and entered the room
Everyone looked at Elliot
There was a man with normal facial features sitting on the sofa
While Alexander was on the seat opposite him, and Alfred stood behind Alexander
Alexander got up from the chair when he saw Elliot. "Elliot! Why are you dressed like that? It's cold in here. You might catch a cold.."
Alexander took off the coat he was wearing and handed it to Elliot
Elliot took the coat and tried to guess Alexander's intentions
He didn't think Alexander was actually worried about him
Elliot and Alexander looked at each other and had a silent conversation
Alexander: 'Did you tell anyone about the materials?'
Elliot: 'Do you think I want my family to be exterminated for helping you perform satanic rituals?'
"Elliot? You're Elliot Rayman, right?" Officer Klaus interrupted them. "But why are you here?"
Elliot wanted to open his mouth
But Alexander responded quickly. "we are friends.."
"...." When did we become friends?
Klaus closed the notebook he was holding in his hand and put the pen in his pocket. "Mr. Elliot got here quickly. It seems you two are good friends."
No, we're not as close as you think
The matter was getting more complicated, but Elliot couldn't deny Alexander's words now
“But there is still something that puzzles me a bit...” Klaus put his hand on his chin as he looked at Alexander. “Why didn’t ghosts attack your room...”
The blood froze in Elliot's veins
Did this officer discover anything?
Alexander laughed sheepishly, rubbing his cheek gently. “I guess I was just lucky. It seems that these evil entities won't attack a good person like me.”
A good person?
You?
Elliot had to admit that Alexander's acting ability was amazing and he deserved to receive an award
Alexander had the army of ghosts attack the city, and after all the chaos he caused، he was shameless enough to call himself a good person.
"Haha, I think you're right. Mr. Alexander is definitely a good person. You must be blessed by the gods.." Klaus laughed as he finished the topic. “I have some tasks to perform, please excuse me.”
“I asked the chef to bring you lunch.” Alexander showed slight disappointment
“Hahaha, next time. Those ghosts caused a lot of chaos...” Klaus laughed happily
Alexander left a good impression on Klaus's mind
In Klaus' eyes, Alexander was humble and kind to others
He even gave his coat to his friend because he was worried that he would catch a cold
Klaus did not doubt for a moment that Alexander was involved in the ghost invasion
How could this good boy get involved with those terrifying entities?
“Alfred, escort Mr. Klaus out...” Alexander ordered
Alfred bowed gently and then looked at Klaus as he gently extended his hand. "This way, Mr. Klaus."
Klaus left with Alfred
Elliot was standing aside, watching what was happening, as if a play was taking place in front of him
Did it end like this?
Did the officer believe everything Alexander said without suspecting anything?
"....." For a moment, Elliot felt tricked and manipulated by Alexander
