Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 164 Trust Is All We Need#2



I shook my head slightly before asking,"what is the strongest level you have seen yet?"

"SSS-Class. I have met that personage only once, but even looking at that gave me goosebumps," Cedric spoke before continuing with a gulp,"are they that much strong?!"

His eyes were wide and Mark and the others too were afraid as well. I sensed Willam and Lucia at a distance, eavesdropping on our conversation, and I wondered what exactly I should tell them.

"Damn! This is why I didn\'t want anyone to know about them… yet, at least," I spoke out to myself in the same annoyed tone.

"What do you-" Elric tried speaking but…

"Those are the weakest among them," I spoke and Elric turned silent as he looked at me with an expression of disbelief.

"SSS-grade, SS-grade are their weakest ones. The real ones start from SSSS-Grade, and we call them S4. There are S5, S6, XX and beyond, their leader… I, or perhaps any of us, haven\'t yet met him. By the way, the difference between each of them is the same as the gap between an A and an S grade on average," I spoke without caring about what or how they would take this information as.

Gauging their expressions, I found they were looking at Cedric who seemed beyond shocked… I guess he has a way of verifying whether someone\'s words are true or false.

"And is there a way to fight against them?" William arrived behind me, along with Lucia. Lucia was looking at me with the same expression as Mark and the others were, while William looked like he was waiting for me to answer his query before deciding what to do.

"Yeah, there are a few ways, but the most appropriate one, the one I am taking, is to bring together the strongest ones and make them even stronger. Create an army of people that can stand against the enemy," I shared my main ambition and William looked at me for a few moments in silence before speaking,

"How many have you…"

I understood what he was trying to say and I answered,"I have about 15 to 20 people on my list that I am trying to get on my side and make them stronger."

He looked at me for a few moments before asking,"he is on that list?"

"Isn\'t that obvious? Of course he will be on that list," I answered, fully knowing about whom he was talking.

"What about her?" William asked again as he pointed towards Lucia and I saw Lucia getting tensed as she looked at me. I shake my head before speaking.

"What happens to her does not concern me."

"Eliza," Lucia says without contemplating my statement about her and I ponder a little,"I haven\'t decided about her."

Hearing my answer, she gets confused a little but then Willam says,"It\'s Cristine you want, isn\'t it?" and Lucia\'s eyes turn wide in realisation. I keep my silence on it before I turn to Mark Leeway, who immediately asks,

"You want me, don\'t you?"

"Yes. You and Irene too, along with Reeve. I will be checking other members of your family as well," I did not hide from Mark Leeway and he looks at me with a slight sigh before speaking,

"As long as it is for my family, I won\'t hesitate to sacrifice myself. Though, Zero, if you try to put any member of my family in danger, I won\'t hesitate to use everything in my arsenal to destroy you and everything you have."

I gazed at him without speaking. Then, I just simply nod before speaking,"If that is all what you guys want, I should be leaving now. Also, yeah! Mark, I would like you to stop all the experimentation that you are continuing."

"I was going to stop them after you save Bernette and I will do that only after you save her," Mark made his stand very clear at this and I sighed before leaving from there.

\'I guess… I should just sleep for today. I wonder if the choices I made today are right or wrong,\' I thought before moving to my room where I slept as soon as I hit the bed.

While I was sleeping, a lot of things began moving forward in a direction that would completely alter the fate of Planet Vermillion. While it was just a small piece of information about the future, what I just did not only was going to save millions, but perhaps 90 percent of the population on Planet Vermillion. Lucia passed on this information to the Vampire King, William to the Laurentz\'s, Mark Leeway to his best friend… another SS-class that keeps himself hidden, Oliver Delacruz, the father of Rheo Delacruz.

This small piece of information was too big to be kept hidden; the world started moving towards a new era, where everyone directly or indirectly started becoming stronger and because it was about the fate of the planet, even the System\'s quests were now oriented to becoming stronger.

Other than that, the name of the Reaper boosted even more from upholder of justice to someone who was on a journey to save the entire world. He is taking in people to make them strong enough to deal with the upcoming hurdles of this world. Though only a selected few knew about Reaper, while the others had no idea where he was or who he was.

This was going to be both opportunistic and problematic for Zero. Only fate knew what the future holds for the man who was on a journey that even he considered almost impossible to complete.
