Chapter 1243 Holy Accord: We Are Serious About Acting!
This chapter is updated by Wuxia.Blog

Two days later, in the Holy Accord’s fleet, a group of Primordial Ones sat in a circle around Sorokin, playing cards while keeping an eye on Sorokin at all times to make sure he did not do anything.Sorokin sat on a small chair in the middle and watched them play cards, giving suggestions from time to time, not acting like an outsider at all.

This time, the door opened. Oathkeeper walked in, and the noise in the room suddenly disappeared. Everyone, including Sorokin, looked over.

Oathkeeper looked around, stopped at Sorokin, and said with a deep voice, “I’ve considered it over the past two days. I’ll accept you into the Holy Accord.”

Joy appeared on Sorokin’s face. Just as he was about to speak, Oathkeeper stopped him and added, “But before that, you have to resolve your conflict with Black Star. I don’t want you to bring problems to the organization.”

Hearing this, Sorokin’s expression turned serious. “What ideas do you have?”

Oathkeeper slowly said, “First, we have to test the risk, which is how persistent Black Star is about killing you. Therefore, we’ll use your location as bait and see if Black Star chases after it.”

“How do we do that exactly?”

Oathkeeper opened the star map, pointed at a transit hub planet in the Ancient Star Desert, and said, “We’ll find a way to spread rumors saying you’ve passed by Planet Deere recently, then set up surveillance to see how Black Star reacts to it. If his men come right away to investigate, it means he’s indeed hunting you. If Black Star invades Planet Deere’s node using Virtual Intrusion, our men will discover it too… To show our sincerity in working together, we’ll share the situation reflected by the surveillance with you.”

Sorokin thought about it for a moment and agreed with this plan. Although he did not think Black Star would be hunting him, faking his whereabouts would not threaten his safety, so he had no objections. Instead, he was quite impressed by how cautious Oathkeeper was. It suited his taste.

From his perspective, he could totally just retire and not do anything, but Holy Accord was not going to agree with that. They were worried Black Star might find them just like he did. Therefore, they actively wanted to remove the hidden threat. He could not make the decision for the Holy Accord, so he could only cooperate.

“If Beiger is really hunting him, what do we do?” Beiger added.

“Then, there’ll only be two ways to solve this problem.” Oathkeeper looked at Sorokin, acted like he was troubled, and said, “Either we erase Black Star, or you fake your death to deceive Black Star.”

“That makes sense,” Beiger added. “Black Star will only give up hunting him if he thinks he’s dead. After all, the dead don’t speak. Anyway, Sorokin knows how to fake his death; he can just do it again.”

Sorokin felt this was logical and nodded. However, thinking about it, he said with a reluctant tone, “But that’s too risky. Black Star knows my identity, so he’ll definitely be wary about me faking my death. I’m worried that if he discovers it, I’ll really be dead…”

Oathkeeper shook his head. “Honestly, that’s even more convincing. We have the Sanctums, so if you really die, we can revive you. Not only will the threat be eliminated that way, but you’ll really become one of us.”

Sorokin laughed awkwardly. “I’d rather pass on that. Plus, he has the Spacetime Amber. I’m worried he might seal me up…”

It sounded like a good plan, but how could he trust the Holy Accord? What if they did not revive him after he died?
