Chapter 889.2: The Game of Two Factions
But that wasn't surprising, considering that she was weak in spirit. After Stale's death, this girl completely gave up. Judging by her age, she was just another Stale fan, clearly a very loyal fan.
But Su Xiao's first thought was that she was well aware that she might have died today. All those tears mixed with hatred and death were more like part of someone's show.
Kaori Kanzaki, who was seriously injured, was nowhere to be seen, making the whole situation confusing.
Su Xiao sat down on the wooden box, lit a cigarette, and thought about it.
After a long time, Su Xiao realized what was the matter.
— This old fox has completely switched to his life support device.
The old fox was obviously Alistair. From the beginning to the end, Alistair should have benefited from all of this. Of course, Su Xiao should also get a portion of the reward, but he would get a lot less than that old fox.
Plus he'd be the one to do all the dirty work.
He knew what it was all about. Yes, Alistair had previously asked him to deal with Kaori Kanzaki, and he really wanted to kill her. Of course, Alistair would have been satisfied with her leaving Academy City as well, for he didn't want anyone from the magical side walking around his domain.
After Su Xiao seriously injured Kaori Kanzaki, the Anglican Church received the news, and Bishop Laura Stewart held talks with Alistair for the second time.
Laura Stewart was a real sly fox.
Given the current state of affairs at that time, the negotiations went relatively smoothly, and Index stayed with the scientific side for a while.
Laura Stewart made this concession out of sheer desperation..
Compared to Index, who had multiple defenses and couldn't be killed by anyone, the life of the "Saint", Kaori Kanzaki, was much more important. She was their personal walking nuclear bomb. If such a useful chess piece were to die in Academy City, Laura Stewart would only be able to start crying tears of blood.
Because of this, Alistair allowed people from the Anglican Church to take Kaori Kanzaki, who was seriously injured and unconscious, away from Academy City. The price of invading Academy City was the genius magician Stile, who eventually became the martyr who had to give his life for the magical side.
In fact, when he saw the fake Kaori Kanzaki kneeling down and crying so bitterly, Su Xiao felt that there was something wrong with the whole matter.
She was crying so hard and there was so much sadness in her tears that at first he thought that she was a good actress, but in the end he realized that everything was much easier.
Plus, she didn't even try to resist.
Besides, Stile obviously didn't want to back down and leave Index in Academy City. He didn't feel like he could lose, so Laura Stewart decided to give up on him and left a suitable pawn in place of the real Kaori Kanzaki, which not only allowed the magic side to retain its main strength, but also allowed the science side to retain its face.
Both sides were satisfied with the resolution of this issue.
Battles between huge factions were always fierce and ruthless, and those who didn't follow orders always ended up dying in the end.
The role of Su Xiao was written by the screenwriter from beginning to end.
Su Xiao took out his walkie-talkie. — I took care of Kaori Kanzaki, Alistair.
— Oh, you mean a spy on the magic side?
— In a way, it was Kaori Kanzaki.
Hearing Su Xiao's answer, Alistair's lips lifted slightly.
He actually smiled.
— Maybe it is. That was the end of it. As long as you don't have to interfere with my plans, you can proceed as you see fit in Academy City. I'll talk to Tsuchimikado Motoharu, he'll be ready to see you at any time.
After putting away the radio, Su Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.
He was able to lay the best foundation for the fulfillment of his mission.
— That old fox...
If he hadn't insisted that Kaori Kanzaki was dead, Alistair probably would have given him a new task, citing that he hadn't completed the task assigned to him. As for Su Xiao continuing to help Alistair with his plans, that was already someone's wet fantasy. He wasn't here to help Alistair. He did all this just for the right to move freely around the city and for the sake of meeting an unusual spy, Tsuchimikado Motoharu.
— It's time to get down to business.
Su Xiao walked out of the warehouse, and Bubtney followed close behind.
As for Awaka Musujime, she was humming a song while walking in a different direction.
If it wasn't for Alistair's order, there was no way Avaki Musujime would have cooperated with Su Xiao.
Given his aura and temperament, it was foolish to dream that an impudent girl like her would help him for free.
As for the possibility that he might try to capture her heart, if Su Xiao heard about such an option, he would just laugh out loud. An independent girl like her with a good mind and will couldn't be seduced by a guy like Su Xiao, especially since they had only been in contact for two days at most.
Only in some anime could the main character completely fall in love with a girl in one conversation, and as for a" villain " like Su Xiao, even if he helps her a hundred times, Avaki Musujime will most likely not feel anything for him and will still behave cautiously.
