Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 871 : He can be a duck for all I care [2/2]
The person Jo mentioned was Blanche Voir Millénia "The Astrologer". A powerful Specter from Europe who could see the future. So far, everything she said would happen has happened. Of course it could have been just luck, but I know for sure that it wasn't that simple.
Blanche who predicted that Jo and Jas would be Formless. Her oracle was the reason that the Benelli's threw out Jo and her then maid Jas. So, It made sense why my Darling was on edge. Her immense animosity Jo to the Astrologer was justified.
She was also the one leaked David's plans for my Seeker War. And foretold about that my girls would win against Carlos and his army. Although the weapon platforms she brought certainly played a huge factor.
Finally, she knew of things only I knew off. Suffice to say she gave me a lot of evidence in how accurate her ability was. I didn't need to look far to see the power of being able to see the future. Jas was able to do so only for 5 seconds, and the results were amazing.
From what I guessed, Blanche could see week, months or even years in the future. Just how could you beat someone like that I wonder? Looking at Pierre I slowly began to understand the cause and effect of my decisions. And Blanche's mentality.
[The other Successors are on the move. The Revenant Project has already entered its next phase. You must head for Kismayo before the week ends, or you will be too late. One of my friends who is part of Africa would assist you.]
Being able to see the future was both a blessing and a curse. I only needed to see the devastation around me. If what Jo said was true, then that meant three things which were all equally concerning about Blanche.
The first was she knew ahead of time that every human in Kismayo would be killed. Amari came to me to ask for help of his countrymen. Yet we failed. We were not able to save any of them. Part of me believed that if I had known I would have come earlier.
Blanche never asked me to save Kismayo, she only said it would be too late. It was vague as fuck and hardly meant anything aside from trying to be foreboding. From the carnage that ensued, it couldn't have been more than a few days.
Which had led me to my 2nd understanding. Blanche was a Machiavellian. Even if she asked me to go here to save these people, I am not sure if I would have gone. I was not altruistic in any sense. To me, making love to my harem was more important.
These people were strangers to me. While heroic people would believe that they should be saved, I hardly had that belief. And Blanche knew this. Which is why she didn't push me to be a hero. Even at the cost of all the people here, she didn't mind the results, so long as I came.
And that was the last point, Blanche wanted me to see this. For some fucking reason, she wanted me to see the annihilation of Kismayo. I almost broke down upon seeing the corpses, but I was kind of sure that the Astrologer knew I would react that way.
It took a special kind of bastard to remain unfazed at the loss of life here. Just how many lived in Kismayo. Would I have been able to save any of them? If I controlled my lust and came here earlier, would I have been able to lessen the damage?
While I didn't feel that bad, I keep thinking back to the bodies of the victims. I saw my adopted family among them. If the situation was different and the Simmons lived here instead of America. Wouldn't they all simply die as well? Could I accept such a reality?
There were a hundred different things that could have been done. But if people saddled me with the fate of Africa, I would have told them to go jump off a cliff. While it was true that I could have help, I had no reason to do so. In the first place, it wasn't even my responsibility.
"Uhhh…" The man of the hour began to rouse awake.
Aki who was holding him by his collar noticed and quickly the man onto the ground. I nodded in approval of her act. She was mine. I didn't want any man soiling her with his filth. Probably feeling my pride. Aki quickly came over and gave me a peck on the cheek.
"Fufu. Such possessiveness Anata. You already own me and yet wish for more? What am I to do with you?"
"Haha, you should have thought about that, before you married me. It's too late now, I won't let you go no matter what happens."
Aki and I smiled at each other just relishing the affectionate teasing. Meanwhile the woman in my arms suddenly went for my neck and bit me. It stung a bit but rather than annoyed I found it extremely adorable.
"CHOMP! Stupid Darling! Pay attention to me too!"
"Yes. Yes. I love you too my Darling," I affectionately declared as I kissed her slender neck.
"Kya! Darling! That tickles."
But of course, while I was enjoying the beauty of Aki and Jo the others around me had other matters to deal with.
"Uhm…Limitless can't you people stop flirting like all the time? People just died…"
"Stop it fluffy, we should just be glad we got rid of the demons, otherwise they would have done far more damage."
Amari and Mia were pretty concerned about the death and destruction that occurred all around us. Meanwhile Bella and Robyn were watching Pierre as he slowly got up from the ground.
"I'm alive? I'm alive! Wait! The demons! Have the demons been taken care off?" he asked.
"They are all dead, cunt. Both the demons and humans. You are the only one left."
"What? I see. That's good. What about my family? My family! My family! Where are they?"
Bella approached the man and patted him on the back. It seems that she genuinely felt sorry for him. Her link had both compassion and sympathy.
"I am sorry Pierre. There was no one left, when we arrived here. You almost didn't make it. I am going to need to tell you what has happened."
Hearing Bella's words, the French man trembled as he began to break down "NOO!!!! This wasn't supposed to happen. I brought my family here in order to save them! No! Where are they! Where?!"
He was about to run off when he turned and saw Amari.
"PRINCE AMARI! You're here! Where is the army? Why didn't they come earlier? Why didn't you come save my wife and children? Didn't you say you would leave to get help? We all believed in you! Now my family is dead!!! This is all your fault!"
As Pierre lost his shit he began to ramble on berating Amari. I saw the African prince flinch yet still accept the verbal lashing. His partner the over opinionated werewolf remained silent and gritted her teeth.
'This motherfucker should already be a Reaper, right? Why is he still talking like this? Does he really believe he has no fault in this matter?'
My girls all had a hint of sadness and regret in their links. But none of them really cared enough to comment. If this bastard was really someone connected with Blanche, I thought he would be made of tougher stuff.
"Jo, are you okay now? I need to punch some sense into that guy."
"Yeah, I have been using {Regen} since earlier. You can put me down now Darling."
"I'm glad to hear that."
I gently placed Jo back on her feet and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Aki unconcerned about the current drama pulled my sleeves and similarly asked for my affection. Naturally I obliged.
Pierce has not stopped going on and on about Amari's failure to save his family. Robyn and Bella upon listening to him had lost majority of the compassion they once had.
'This cunt is delusional. Does he still think that he is human? That Reapers have governments or something? He hasn't one said that it's his fault for being weak.'
'Tsk. Yet another man child. I had thought that African's were a different mentality due to being besieged by demons. Yet he blames it all on the king. He is nothing but a parasite,' Bella commented in disgust.
