The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 334 - Short-minded Person



"Alfonso Lockheart, as you have said, we don\'t have previous grievances between us, nevertheless, we have a need for that kid, so, as a way of maintaining our current relationships, I will ask you as a favor to give us the kid" Said the oracle.

"Her name is Jessica, and unfortunately, if you can\'t make me guarantee her safety, I can\'t give her to you" Answered Alfonso firmly.

"Are you willing to become an enemy of the oracles?" Asked the other oracle.

"No, certainly not, I am not confident enough to kill an oracle, however…. The same goes for you, right?" Asked Alfonso.

The oracle didn\'t say anything.

"So, lets compromise, I don\'t know much about destiny nor do I have the power to control it, fortunately though, I have an expert in the area" Said Alfonso.

"An expert?" Asked the oracle.

.................................…��............

The young white-haired man appeared in front of the oracles and Alfonso.

"I need your help"

With that phrase, like he seemed coming, the young white-haired man nodded and accompany Alfonso to meeting the oracles.

As for Jessica? Alfonso didn\'t want to wake her up.

"Certainly, I can see why you called him an expert" Said one of the oracles after seeing the young white-haired man.

"More than an expert, I will call myself an unfortunate person" Answered the white-haired young man.

"Surprisingly, you are able to recruit someone with his capabilities, I must say that your destiny is rather a fortunate one, Alfonso Lockheart" Said one of the oracles.

"Even if I refuse, some way or another, I would still become one of his people" Said the young white-haired man.

"Anyway… oracles… now that you have met my expert, can you explain the current problem to him?" Said Alfonso.

"Certainly,��� Said one of the oracles.

"[email protected]#$+*&^" The oracle murmured something in a language that Alfonso couldn\'t understand.

"@#[email protected]" However, for the young white-haired man, it seemed perfectly normal, because he also answered with a calm expression.

Both the oracle and the young white-haired man talk for some minutes before the young white-haired man sighed and turned back to Alfonso.

"They are willing to go back" Said the young white-haired man.

"Good" Said Alfonso with relief.

"Not so fast, the situation about that little girl is indeed problematic" Said the young white-haired man.

"What is it?" Asked Alfonso.

"For you to understand, I will have to give you some insights… destiny is more like a concept rather than a force, however, people like them or me, we can fill it, we don\'t how but we can"

"Different from the power of time where one could see a possible future, the concept of Destiny isn\'t restricted by the universal law. Let\'s put this way, the power to see the future is a characteristic that the power of time and the power of destiny share, but, the power of time respects the universal law, in other words, if someone can prevent the future to become true, the universal law will allow it because you have taken actions to prevent it, like a domino effect, if the future was that all the pieces fall, with the power of time, one could slightly modify the direction of the dominos so they don\'t fall, that\'s within the rules of the universal law… but destiny… that\'s another story…"

"Destiny can\'t be modified, because it is something that transcends the universal law, so no matter what you do, the events that destiny dictates, can\'t be modified by the forces that are restricted by the universal law" Said the young white-haired man.

He pointed to where Jessica was sleeping and said with a serious tone.

"Her destiny was to die a couple of days ago, however, she is still living, destiny has changed, and with that, the destiny of all Leitol… no, the destiny of all the world" Said the young white-haired man.

"How?" Asked Alfonso.

The young white-haired man furrowed a little.

"We don\'t know" Said the young white-haired man.

"Are you kidding me? What do you mean you don\'t know?" Asked Alfonso.

"Destiny is not something that one can\'t see wherever wants, even the most powerful of us, oracles, can\'t see the exact changes, however, we can perceive it, that\'s why we are so anxious" Said another oracle.

"You must accept my skepticism… I mean, she is just a little girl who isn\'t even a champion, what big changes can she produce that would change the course of the world" Said Alfonso.

"Don\'t look down on the power of the oracles" Said one oracle.

Alfonso sighed.

"Ok, let\'s say that I do believe you, then, what is the solution?" Asked Alfonso.

"We want two things, Alfonso Lockheart" Said one of the oracles.

"The first one, we want this young man to come with us" Said the oracle.

"Why?" Asked Alfonso.

"His powers are not something that you can imagine, the oracles need someone like him, however, we, as well as him, knows that his destiny is by your side, so, we will only want to borrow him, he will leave went he is supposed to" Said the oracle.

Alfonso looked at the young white-haired man.

"It\'s fine, they won\'t do anything to me" Said the young white-haired man.

"And the second one?" Asked Alfonso.

"We want you to own us a favor" Said the other oracle.

"A favor?"

"That\'s right, in the near future, we will need your help" Said the oracle.

Alfonso thought for some seconds before furrowing.

"Were you planning this for the beginning?" Asked Alfonso.

"It\'s your choice to think whatever you want; however, we have to remain you that you are the one asking us an agreement, not us" Said the oracle.

Alfonso was a little pissed by the oracle, his eye lighted up and a green light could be seen behind his patch.

"The way you put it to make it looks that I am scared of you" Said Alfonso.

One of the oracles walked in front and stared at Alfonso.

"Think wisely, Alfonso Lockheart, whatever you are about to do, don\'t regret it later" Said the oracle.

Alfonso looked at the oracle for some seconds…

After that, his eye returned to normal.

"I am sorry, it seems that lately, I am becoming a more short-minded person… sure, I agree with your proposal" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso and the oracles agree and the young white-haired man when with them.

"Oracles…" Said Alfonso.

The oracles stopped on their tracks.

"What is it?"

"Ivankov… what are you going to do with him?" Asked Alfonso.

"Whatever you decide to do… it\'s not our business now" Said the oracles.

After that, they disappear in a corner.

Alfonso didn\'t turn to look at them, however, a cruel smile could be seen on his face.

"Indeed, I am becoming more and more a short-minded person" Though Alfonso.

That night, was a sleepless night for Alfonso and…

Ivankov\'s last one.
