Acht's shocking revelation made him lose his composure for a split second but it was more than enough for Torn to see it. So, with a confused look, he asked Acht.
"Is there anything wrong?"
The boy didn't show much emotion to his question since it was predictable in such a case. However, he still didn't know whether he should tell them or not.
On one hand, having more people aware of this is helpful since more minds working on finding a solution is way more practical than one single mind. That fact is even more amplified by the fact these people around him were not normal people. They are one of the most intelligent people possibly in this whole entire world.
Running an organization that is literally the enemy of every powerhouse in this world and still keeps it a secret is nothing short of impressive.
However, on the other hand, there was another question that would appear after he explained what he understood from the letter.
'How did you learn this language?'
That question is something he can't answer easily after all. It was one of his darkest secrets that only Lein was aware of.
So, with one eye, he peeked at Lein who was also looking at him. Somehow, she was able to understand what he was implying without him saying one single word to her.
Then, she immediately went into action to help him.
"Little shit is just like me, a reincarnator." She said to all of them with a serious look.
Everyone went silent the moment they heard her words and could barely say anything while eyeing the boy as if he was an alien.
Acht was speechless for a good second before he glared at her. He found no words to say when his secret was exposed just like that. He thought Lein will find a way to get him out of this problem but instead just said the truth without any hesitation.
"Don't worry. They are already aware of the existence of people like us. There is no point in hiding it." She added with a calm expression.
He could only sigh in response as he touched his forehead.
"So you were a reincarnator like Lein all this time? That actually makes more sense now with your monstrous talent." Jack said as he clicked his fingers with an enlightened look.
"We should've predicted that with all the weird things around him," Torn added with a nod.
As for Lenny, he just kept looking at Acht without saying much.
Then, with a serious look.
"I am going to assume that you can read this language, right?" He asked.
"Sigh, pretty much. This is a common language back in my previous world." He said.
Now that the beans are spilled, he had no reason to hide it any longer.
"I see. Could you read us the content of the paper, Acht?"
He was already thinking about telling them so there was no point in stretching the matter for long.
After that, he read the content of the letter to them. Their expressions started changing as Acht kept reading.
From surprise to shock and then to outright fear. Even Lenny who was the least expressive out of the bunch could barely keep his face from making a huge frown.
After he ended the full read, the silence took over the place for a good moment. Every one of them could not express their emotions in words.
"...This is not even funny," Weltz said as he touched his forehead with a huge frown. His teeth were clenched in frustration.
The others didn't fare any better than him.
"Fuck! This is bad! It's not even a war at this point! This will be a one-sided invasion." Jack added with his eyes looking down deep in thought.
"Boss?" Torn looked at Lenny for his opinion.
However, the old man didn't talk at all since he still hadn't recovered from the shock.
After a good 30 seconds, he looked at everyone and said with the most serious tone they ever heard from him.
"Prepare yourself, you lot. This might be our last ride."
**************************
Meanwhile, back in Evernight City, the Melody Of Dream bar was as quiet and as empty as usual. The bartender was cleaning glasses with a towel behind the counter.
The atmosphere was as beautiful and dreamy as the name suggests. It gives anyone a soothing feeling whenever he enters this place in contrast to any other place in the city where loud sounds and flashy lights were the norms.
The calm music in the background was like a cherry on top of the cake.
However, as he was having this alone time of his, the doorbell rang and someone entered the place. In fact, two people entered the bar.
The man looked at the two visitors and his eyes squinted slightly in suspicion before returning to normal the next second.
The two who came inside were wearing clocks that covered their faces and most of their bodies. But, the bartender was able to see that they were both women.
"Welcome. How may I help you on this fine night?"
The two didn't answer immediately as they kept looking around for some time before approaching the counter and asking.
"Was there any small boy here yesterday? He has black hair and he is around 8 years of age." The first one asked.
The man shook his head and said politely.
"No. I didn't see any kid with such features around here. Why do you ask? Is he lost perhaps?" The man asked with faked confusion.
He was already aware of what these two were looking for. There was no other boy with such features around here.
'They are already this close, huh.' The bartender thought to himself.
The two women couldn't see through his eyes so they merely nodded their heads and left the bar.
"Are we even in the right place?" Scarlett asked Leislet who was going ahead of her.
Leislet stopped for a moment and made a sign to tell her to be quiet.
Then, she whispered.
"Yes, we are. We are going to search that whole place."
