While I was still thinking, I heard footsteps. Nicole's big and tall body came into my sight.
"To be honest Mr. Levin, I want to inviye you again. When you said you want to follow us here, I was worried about how I can protect you because your guild marked you as s 1 leaf member but you are much stronger than they think… This is surprising, you must have been hiding your real strength all this while, right?" Nicole's face had surprise and reverence and he didn't bother to conceal it.
"Not really, just that I've never gone on a raid with the guild so they have never seen my abilities. Moreso, lead numbers are counted by contribution points and I don't have many.
It had become an habit for always hide my identity
"But you did take out King Kong, the predator, and Bone Cracker, three supervillains your heroic acts should be commended "
Nicole didn't press the matter about my abilities, that might be one of their codes of conduct in their group.
Well not Judy their group alone, it has become one of the unspoken rules among super villians and humans not to ask for anyone's overall ratings.
As one if the heroic organization in the North, that rule will surely apply to them to, even Nicole won't like it of anyone is bugging him with "how strong are you" questions
Therefore, the conversation entered the topic that interested me most
Although I had learnt some things about how the super villains worked and their ranks from Carter, it will be great if I learn more from Nicole , he sure will have more knowledge.
Nicole and his organization is not the only superhuman group in the North , most of them hide their identities so well , one cannot even find their tracks, they also rarely fight super villains, they only show up when things got extremely out of hands
"The appearance of those supervillains is very mysterious and that is also why we are unable to kill them before they grow strong. Just like normal humans, they will be born and they'll live , then one day they will get awoken with their powers and they will just decide to do things that will hurt their society, the worst part eyoy can't know which child or adult is going to get awoken next. We once use one if our means to find out a way of knowing which kid is a super villain and we took those kid in but once they get awoken, they will grow rapidly and their powers too will. Without thinking twice, killing is their next move. On top of that, they appear and disappear like ghost, we can only afford to damage then a bit before they are gone. They are too much and too strong for the minimal number of super humans in the North to end them "
It was now that I thought of it.
Those super villains, according to Emma Eddie, are born from the core of the dead devils thousand years ago. They might be weaker than devils but they still have the same characteristics like real devils and that includes rapid growth.
Those super villains shouldn't be taken for granted
They just didn't possess the traits of a devil, they will act in groups or pretend to be humans and cause more headache for the superhumans.
I said nothing about the worries of the Northern super humans but in my mind, I'm trying to make perfect my plan and move it towards completion
"Humans' wants can never be satisfied, our wants turn to desire, our desires are our greed and our greed might make us do evil things sometimes. Once one fall for his desires, he will lose his conscience" I commented
"You are right, Mr. Levin. Fortunately, there are still good people like you that are able to differentiate their wants from their needs. You are focused on your own goal and you are trying not to hurt people while achieving it. Without people like you, wouldn't the nation fall just like West Golf did'' Nicole stopped talking when he mentioned the fall of West Golf and changed the topic "do you want to have lunch, I know a restaurant where they make all of their foods 'taste like christ''"
"I'd be happy to "
I reply with a smile even though I don't understand the 'taste like christ' part. As for the fall of West Golf, it is okay if Nicole wants to keep it a secret, their organization will surely have confidential information.
I nodded and glanced over the workers Nicole tasked to clean up the office
In order to complete my plan, I need more information.
Conversation during meals might be a great opportunity to pull information out of Nicole's mouth so I definitely will lose this chance.
The restaurant Nicole mentioned was in a small street block of the city, the surroundings weren't prospering skyscrapers but low buildings without any sign of being broken or old.
In other words, the place felt common but peaceful.
