[Ding!]
[Added Amry Joy Decano to the Supported Individuals.]
[Amry Joy Decano will now receive all the Support Bonuses as wells as Support Skills for Supported Individuals.]
When I added Amry to the Supported List, she almost jumped up in surprise at the notifications she received from the system and although it's not visible, her aura rose a bit but as I thought, it fell short from reaching the threshold of Power Level 100.
After adding her to the Support Expert System, though it reduced the Strength average by 1 and Endurance average by 2, it increased the Intelligence average by 0.3.
Adding another 5% bonus stats from her, my Power Level raised from 102.72 to 105.36.

Instead of having my Power Level wilt away as time passed, it actually increased this time. In any case, there's still the warning that it was slowly dispersing. Unless I become a Transcendent, I will be stuck at Power Level 100 sooner or later.
"What is this?! Kazeyoshi! Oi! Explain this to me!"
Amry shouted as she still couldn't believe what she's seeing. And instead of turning to ask me, she held Kazeyoshi on his collar and shook him hard to vent the excitement she felt from the increase in her overall stats. With the addition of the bonus Intelligence, she jumped up to become a Rank SSS+ Pilot.
Now that I think of it, Kazeyoshi should've been a Rank SSS+ ever since I added him. However, during our sparring with their Powergen on, only to him did I win.
He's really the weakest among the three of them, eh? Now, with the addition of the boost, Amry would be stronger. That Viper or the Sovereign Princess who came with her would be thrashed by her no matter how strong they are if they were to fight.
Despite being unreasonably shook by Amry, Kazeyoshi has already become timid when it comes to her. And that was the result of the short time that I passed him to her. I wonder, did he finally learn something or he's just scared to retort against her?
That girl was surely enjoying it. No matter how I looked at it, Amry likes him and the same could be said to Kazeyoshi. Their cat and dog relationship would probably end up in that.
Well, with Amry pulling him up, that guy will be fine soon. I'll have the three of them stay here when the delegates leave. With the looming threat, having trusted allies close by was something reassuring.
Maybe there's also some on the remaining 5 that can be trusted. I have a hunch that the Anzeans and the Dark World will attack together when the decisive time comes. Making more allies sounds the ideal path for now.
With Lexie leading the six delegates and us behind them, we soon reached the place where the triplets were moved.
Well, it's still within 1 kilometer of that secret room where Delares was detained. It's just a precaution that there's a possibility for those cubes to have some kind of function that could alert someone if they break, we have to keep them close for now.
"Open the door."
Lexie ordered the two Elite Members stationed at the door. They were wearing a Powergen to flex that the League had grown this much by the short time they were occupying the place.
She entered first followed by the Main Delegates and with me as the last one to enter the room.
Inside the room, apart from the triplets that were still separated from each other, there was nothing. No interrogation equipment or Virtual Simulation capsules.
As the Delegations sent by the three factions, seeing the captives is just one of the purposes of their visit. They wished to be informed about the discovery that the League managed to unearth. Even if one or more of them has already been aware and has been colluding with the enemy for years already, they have to make up appearances.
After that will be something like a meeting on what to do about this situation wherein spies who worked with the enemy and the secret organization ran rampant in all three factions without a method to determine who they are.
Lexie as the Chief Executive will lead that meeting while the Main Delegates will represent their factions. The other six will be there only for providing their own input. In the end, everything will be decided by the representatives of the three factions and the League.
"It's rare to see siblings more so triplets to reach the same height, unfortunately, they are working for the enemy."
The Imperial Advisor Kreed commented as he observed the three. He was shaking his head as if lamenting the three sisters' plight. From his expression, it looked sincere.
We had them put in new containment cells where no one-way mirrors were used.
Nysia already instructed the three of what to do. If they saw someone that has a possibility to be a part of the secret organization, they would make a sign.
And they didn't have any reaction towards the Imperial Advisor.
Due to that, the Imperial Advisor Kreed passed the 2nd assessment. The 1st was when I provoked them and Sen slipped. However, he still has a chance to redeem himself.
The question is what will be the triplets' reaction towards him? They're all from the Confederacy, if he's part of it then they would surely know.
"Judging from their complexion, they looked like they already lost their will to live. Can we see the results of your interrogation?"
Sovereign Princess Elise commented. She only gave the three a passing glance before turning to Lexie to demand for the result.
This time, Ella, the silver Metagen Pilot among the triplets tapped the hidden microphone below them. That's the sign that we agreed. A few seconds later, the other two tapped their microphone as well. Only Nysia and I could hear those sounds.
After getting that signal, I turned my gaze to the Sovereign Princess. She's the one who clapped and the one most amused earlier. That's a strike for her.
"The results will be presented later. You were only brought here to see the status of the captives."
Lexie answered which was met by a calm nodding from the Sovereign Princess. She's great at acting, eh? Or that's just how confident she is.
When Sen's turn came, he hadn't even started to comment when the signal rang out again and this time it was tapped multiple times. Unlike the signal about the Sovereign Princess which only meant that she's a possible member, that multiple taps meant Sen is confirmed to be a member.
I guess after two failed assessments, there's no doubt that he's one of the snakes. If I kill him here, it will surely spark another war among the denizens with the League standing alone. I'll let him be for now.
After him, the other three also went forward to check on the triplets, the three heroes included.
The Moonlight Queen Lunaria was clean and she didn't comment nor ask any questions, instead, her eyes seemed to be darting between Lexie and me. Like she wanted an opportunity to talk to any of us.
Considering her mother is the Matriarch of the Confederacy and someone who we are suspecting by default, is it connected to that?
Let's give her a chance later.
Viper earned a tap from the triplets as well. This means, there's a possibility that the whole Eldur was in cahoots or possibly the mastermind behind the secret organization.
That's still just a possibility and there's one last assessment later, if they got two strikes like Sen, then we have to consider not letting them see the important pieces of information we squeezed from the captives as well as the snakes Nysia cleansed.
Princess Leianne also earned a tap, as the most powerful Princess, for her to have the possibility of becoming a member, was it personal or connected to her father?
Either way, up till now only Sen was more or less confirmed.
When the three Heroes went forward for their turn to see the triplets, Amry uexpectedly earned a tap.
When that happened, I became alerted and immediately cast my gaze on her. Is she possibly a traitor?
All three delegates from the Principality of Eldur got a tap from them
For now, Amry would be put to the same suspicion. Even if she's already listed in my Supported List, I could remove her if it was proven that she has betrayed us.
Though I'm inclined to trust her, with all of them earning a tap, the Principality of Eldur could possibly be housing the mastermind behind the Order of the Dark Host.
The possibility of someone becoming a traitor among the Heroes is always there. Earthlings have something we called seven deadly sins that are present in everyone. No matter how Heroic one is, no one is perfect. Look at Raiden and his fondness on crushing those weaker than him, it might be because of a skill he has but it's also because of one of the deadly sins, his lust for blood.
Now that Amry's put to the suspect list, I recalled our interactions. The way she talked to us earlier when I asked them their thoughts, nothing seemed off. That wasn't an act.
Good thing I haven't revealed anything to them yet. I only let them tell me what they think about the current situation.
Haa. I guess the only choice is to ask her first. Out of all those who got the tap of suspicion, she would be the easiest to talk to.
She would eventually go back to Earth. If she's really a member of that secret organization and working with the Dark World, consequences would surely befall her.
Nysia also heard that she earned a tap, I'll go and ask for her opinion to decide how we will proceed.
Since we only intended to show them the captives, the delegates soon lost interest when we didn't even allow them to question the triplets.
The interrogation with them was already over and there's nothing to be gained anymore.
Due to that, this captive viewing would end here, however, before we left the room, the Imperial Advisor opened his mouth again and as I expected, he asked about what Sen talked about earlier.
"I reckon you also have a Dark World denizen as a captive. Why isn't he with them?"
"I'm also interested in this."
With another amused expression, the Sovereign Princess Elise also chimed in.
And maybe he's trying to be careful this time, Sen didn't join them and just waited as to what would be our answer.
"I'm sorry but we couldn't show him to you yet, he's still under interrogation."
At this time, I decided to break my silence and answer them in place of Lexie.
"Why don't we show you to your rooms first? The journey must have been tiring."
With a smile on my face, I continued to cut off any chance of them to ask more questions.
For now, I have to end this here. With the 2nd assessment results, we have to prepare for the 3rd one. Showing them Delares would be put to later.
