"And he just happens to be a first-rate agent... after awakening his origin..."
He didn't dare to continue.
"He will become the most dangerous weapon."
Araya Sōren continued his words.
"Moreover, his origins are destined to lead him toward evil and pleasure."
Aruba was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"It sounds like you've set yourself on a time bomb. Origin Awakeners are completely uncontrollable; how can you be sure they won't tear you apart first?"
Araya Sōren walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside.
"Because his essence will not change."
Emptiness drives him to constantly seek something to fill it, and our plan... just happens to provide that satisfaction.
He turned around.
"Do you want to see him? He's downstairs in the Wutiao Building."
Aruba hesitated. He really wanted to see this agent of the Awakening Origins with his own eyes; his intuition told him it was too dangerous.
"What's his name?"
"Kirei Kotomine".
Araya Sōren answered.
"But names don't matter to you, do they? You really care about someone else."
Aruba's expression instantly darkened, and he gripped his cane tightly with his fingers.
"Aozaki Touko..."
He practically spat out the name through gritted teeth.
Araya Sōren's eyes held a knowing look.
"As expected. Your hatred is still as intense as ever."
"She must die!"
Aruba's voice trembled with anger.
"That bitch... what gives her the right? What makes her always the one who's better than me?"
He paced excitedly around the room.
"I was born into a prestigious family, received the best education from a young age, and possess the purest bloodline... And her? A good-for-nothing abandoned by her family!"
Araya Sōren coldly watched Aruba's outburst, as if observing an insignificant experimental subject.
030 "Hatred has blinded your eyes, Aruba."
"Shut up!"
Aruba suddenly turned around, pointing his cane at Araya Sōren.
"You don't understand at all! Every time I see that arrogant look on her face, I want to tear her face to shreds!"
His eyes gleamed with madness.
“Help me kill her, Araya. You have the ability.”
Araya Sōren gently shook her head.
"I have no interest in your personal grudges."
"So what are you interested in?"
Aruba said sarcastically.
"Your ridiculous barrier? You think I don't know what you're up to? Pursuing the Root? Don't be ridiculous, that's just a legend!"
Araya Sōren's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop instantly.
"Aruba felt a chill run down his spine, but he stubbornly refused to back down."
"Don't threaten me! We're partners!"
Chapter 405 Cooperative Relationship
"A cooperative relationship?"
Araya Sōren's voice was laced with sarcasm.
"You really think so?"
Aruba's face turned ugly.
He knew, of course, his place in Araya Sōren's eyes—nothing more than a dispensable pawn. But he was unwilling to be looked down upon like that.
"At least I have some use, don't I?"
He forced a smile.
"For example... helping you get rid of that guy who suddenly appeared in Aozaki Touko's Workshop?"
Araya Sōren raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You know more than I thought."
"Of course I know."
Aruba said smugly.
Do you think I wouldn't be monitoring her every move?
He took a step closer.
"Tell me, who is that person who suddenly appeared?"
Araya Sōren remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
"An...unknown existence."
"unknown?"
Aruba scoffed.
"There are still unknown things for you? Don't try to fool me!"
"Believe it or not."
Araya Sōren turned her back to him.
"I advise you not to act rashly. That being is very dangerous."
Aruba's eyes were filled with madness.
"Danger? Ha! Do you think I, Cornelius Aruba, am afraid of danger?"
He waved his cane excitedly.
"Tell me what he looks like! His features! Anything!"
Araya Sōren tilted her head slightly and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Aruba roared.
"I've waited far too long for this day! Anyone who stands between me and Aozaki Touko must die!"
Araya Sōren sighed softly, as if mourning a fool who was about to die.
"as you wish."
He walked toward an old box in the corner of the room.
"But you will have to bear the consequences."
Aruba couldn't wait to follow.
"Open it quickly!"
Araya Sōren's fingers traced intricate runes on the lid of the box, which clicked softly as it slowly opened.
Inside is an old mirror covered in cracks.
He carefully took out the mirror and handed it to Aruba.
"Look, but don't stare at it for too long."
Aruba grabbed the mirror and eagerly looked down. The mirror was initially blurry, but then a blurry figure gradually appeared.
The figure appeared to be wearing peculiar clothing, but details were difficult to discern. Most striking was...
"What is that...?"
Aruba's voice suddenly became hesitant.
"His eyes..."
"enough."
Araya Sōren suddenly reached out and covered the mirror.
"It will be dangerous to keep watching."
Aruba suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and excitement.
"Those eyes... I've never seen anything like them before..."
He swallowed.
Is he human?
Araya Sōren put the mirror away and locked it back in the box.
"As I said, it is an unknown entity."
He paused.
