The Author's POV

Chapter 434

Upon confirming that I was indeed 876, the very air in the room chilled by a few degrees.

When I felt this, I merely smiled.

There was not an ounce of nervousness inside of my body.

Octavious Hall was a pragmatic man. He was someone who calculated profits above all else. Although he didn't look like it, from where I sat, I could tell that he was fuming.

If there was one thing that Octavious hated, it was losing control.

In a way, he was like me, except that he sought a different type of control. He sought control for the sake of his minuscule pride, while I sought control for the sake of being able to quickly adjust over the slightest of changes.

Even then, seeing his current complexion, I couldn't help but think to myself.

'Guess Gervis overdid it…'

There could only be one reason I could think of for him to be like this, and that was because he had been threatened by Gervis.

Well, it was inevitable. I had to guarantee my own life, after all.

"Does your confidence stem from Gervis's backing?"

Octavious finally spoke, his cold voice reverberating throughout the whole room.

I tilted my head for a second before eventually nodding.

"In a way, yes."

"So you're not afraid I will ignore his warning and kill you right here on the spot?"

"Yup, not at all." I shook my head. Then, glancing at him from the corner of my eyes, I softly added. "To be honest, I fear Melissa more than you."

This was not a joke.

As I've said before. Octavious was a pragmatic man. He wasn't the type to act rashly.

Since Gervis had obviously threatened him, it was clear that he couldn't make any rash moves, and as such, I wasn't worried about my safety.

But unlike him, Melissa would attack me even if she was threatened. There was a clear difference between the two.

"I see."

Octavious nodded. Surprisingly, he didn't look too fazed by the fact that I mentioned his daughter.

Did he perhaps already figure out that I was the one working with her regarding the magic cards…? If so, things were going to be even easier than I thought.

After a brief moment of silence, he opened his mouth again. His voice sounded much calmer than before.

"Your goal is freedom, isn't it?"

My brows knit.

"…Yes."

At my confirmation, Octavious quickly followed up with another question.

"And you're trying to frame Aaron as 876 in order to gain freedom, correct?"

"Right."
