Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

And... there’s a hint of divinity!

Kal’tsit was all too familiar with this divinity.

After all, having lived for an unknown number of years, God knows how many species unimaginable to ordinary people she had seen. Naturally, she was also quite sensitive to divinity.

And...

This ancient aura was in no way inferior to her own.

”.....”

Inside this young lady’s body, an old monster is dormant!!

Kal’tsit had originally thought it would just be a simple discussion with a young person. She never expected!!

It was actually a contest between old monsters.

This... is quite a coincidence...

Some cracks began to appear on her face, which had been cold for decades...

It’s like this.

A hundred-year-old man is looking at a newborn baby... then turns around and runs into another person who is the same age as him...

In the shadows, Lucas Reeve and Kal’tsit were mutually suspicious.

Meanwhile, Jessica and Closure were both dumbfounded.

They didn’t know what was happening.

”Ahem...”

Kal’tsit coughed.

And got straight to the point.

”Ms. Jessica, this might be a bit impolite, but before we proceed, may I ask you a question?”

”Please, go ahead~”

”Why did you decide to develop a cure for Oripathy? As the daughter of Raythean Industries, I’m sure you’re aware that developing such a drug is guaranteed to be a loss, and you might even end up losing everything you invested. Why do you persist?”

Kal’tsit asked slowly.

She wanted to research Oripathy because she deeply understood its suffering, and even the harm Oripathy had once brought to those around her.

But it was completely impossible for Jessica to empathize.

She herself was not an Oripathy patient.

And her family background was incomparably illustrious. It was impossible for her to empathize. It was like the daughter of the world’s richest man setting up a stall at a construction site entrance to sell ten-dollar buffet lunches to the workers.

It just felt...

The mismatch between Jessica’s identity and what she was currently doing was total.

This was also why Kal’tsit was puzzled.

Could it be...

That the old being inside her made her do it?

Jessica answered without thinking.

”Well... my original intention wasn’t that grand...”

”It’s just... a good friend of mine, Ceobe, contracted Oripathy, so I wanted to spend some money to open a research facility to help cure my friend....”

”...”

”...”

Jessica’s simple sentence immediately plunged the entire office into silence.

Kal’tsit was now completely speechless.

Although her face remained cold, Closure could see the stiffness within that coldness.

Damn...

Kal’tsit actually stopped being cryptic and showed another expression...

Closure was complaining wildly in her heart.

Is this... how a rich young lady thinks...

My friend got sick, so I’ll open a company to help treat my friend..

What kind of world’s number one rich second-generation is this!!

And..

Kal’tsit had a way of telling if someone was lying.

She could see at a glance that Jessica was not lying at all. That sentence was true!!
