Jin Solence: Supreme Evolution Must Have Done This! Jo Solence: They Actually Did
Kim Solence, the current Family Head of the Solence Family, is also a Chosen of God.
This is someone who stands on equal footing with Arlan Mercury and Nightless Sky Yong Lian.
One of the most powerful and possibly the most influential people in the City That Never Sleeps.
Although he was of a lower seniority and Nightless Sky Yong Lian, and always kept a low profile, the Solence Family maintained a conservative and non-expansionist strategy during the more than ten years he served as the Family Head.
But when he actually appears somewhere, in front of everyone, no one can possibly look down on him.
Good Night looked at the man, who was as burly as a bear, and then at Xiao Nian.
"Damn it... why is the head of the Sorens family here?"
Xiao Nian's expression was equally grave. "I don't know either... This is so unexpected."
"But regardless... since he has shown up in person, it means... the situation may be escalating."
However, Xiao Nian didn't know why Kim Solence would suddenly appear here...
But Kim Solence took the initiative to greet her.
"Count Arase Nian, I've heard about it. Thank you for saving my sister's life once again—my good-for-nothing sister has troubled you."
Xiao Nian hearing Kim Solence's words, Xiao Nian bowed slightly. "It is my duty, Your Excellency Kim Solence."
Listening to the polite exchanges between Xiao Nian and his elder Older Brother, Joe Solence spoke again.
"Older Brother, so... it's your idea to use my assassination attempt as a pretext?"
"What's wrong? After being quiet for over ten years, are you finally deciding to make some moves?"
"Are you planning to go to war or negotiate with any of them?"
Kim Solence shook his head. "You misunderstand, Joe... I'm not using your assassination attempt as an excuse to start a war with anyone—rather, I'm actually preparing to cooperate with someone."
"Don't worry, I won't stop you from Revenge... The public statement is just that—a public statement. Privately, I'll give you the highest authority—you can pursue the killer however you want."
At this point, Kim Solence tapped the ground with his wooden cane.
"However, the official statement is... the murderer must be Remnants of the 'Supreme Evolution'."
His words exuded an unquestionable authority.
However, upon hearing Kim Solence's words...
Good Night and Xiao Nian lowered their heads somewhat awkwardly.
As "Player," the two of them lacked the underlying respect for Royal Nobles that the native residents of the City of City That Never Sleeps possessed. Upon hearing this, they naturally found it difficult to remain composed.
Xiao Nian is alright; she has a strong ability to manage her emotions.
As for Good Night, she had already quietly crossed her arms over her chest and was pinching the inside of her upper arms with her fingers to avoid doing anything that would be disrespectful and cause trouble, such as "mocking Royal Nobles."
But...
While the two "Player" held their nerve, the remaining one, Joe Solence, really didn't need to pretend anymore.
Although she is indeed a resident of the City That Never Sleeps, she is also Royal Nobles and the biological sister of Kim Solence.
While mocking Royal Nobles is illegal in the City That Never Sleeps, it's not a problem if another Royal Nobles does the same thing.
"Hahaha, my dear Older Brother," Joe Solence exclaimed, slapping his thigh, "Why go through all this trouble!"
Kim Solence frowned slightly as he looked at Joe Solence's size.
What do you mean by this?
Joe Solence sighed. "The ones who tried to assassinate me this time really were Remnants of 'Supreme Evolution'."
Upon hearing Joe Solence's words, Kim Solence was utterly astonished. "What... it really was done by someone from the 'Supreme Evolution'?"
"How is this possible... Among these Remnants, who among them could have infiltrated this building, nearly killed you, and escaped unscathed?" Kim Solence said, his face suddenly turning extremely grim. "Unless... that rumor is true!"
"No wonder... no wonder that old fox suddenly extended an olive branch to me, wanting to revive the unfinished business from back then..."
Xiao Nian listened to Kim Solence's mutterings and asked a question.
What rumor?
Kim Solence looked at Xiao Nian, pondered for a moment, and then spoke softly.
"Count Arase Nian, it's normal that you and my sister are both young and don't understand..."
"This is an old legend—it was passed down by word of mouth among the Commoner in the Outer City and even Inner City... When the 'Supreme Evolution' perished, although the Creator died, his legacy was not severed."
"He left behind a 'successor' who will return decades later to unleash a thunderous revenge on the Three Great Corporations that destroyed 'Supreme Evolution'!"
"Thump thump thump thump thump--Bang!"
After a burst of drumbeats and the crisp sound of cymbals marked the end of the piece, "Conception" raised his hand again and uttered the line he had definitely rehearsed many times in his mind.
"Director, you're right. Although my philosophy differs from 'Order,' this time... our direction is indeed the same!"
"Unearthing the Truth about the 'Supreme Evolution' back then is certainly not something 'unrock Rock and Roll's or 'unrebellious'... After all, in this City That Never Sleeps, the existence of these Three Great Corporations Five Great Families requires me to rebel and resist even more than 'Order'!"
"That 'Copper Furnace' organization, which has continued from the Previous Version, is indeed even more repulsive."
"Since your goal this time is to dig into their past... then I'll take your side for now."
"I will do everything in my power to help you. I will lurk in the shadows of the City That Never Sleeps, watching over you from the shadows."
As he spoke, the Conception swept across the Bass Guitar strings again, and the equipment on the side of the Stage burst into flames with the sound of the strumming.
Then, he turned around, as if searching for a non-existent camera angle, and struck a cool pose for a moment.
Then, Conception turned around, breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his face.
"Alright... based on my feeling, it's about time the camera moved away... This impromptu performance is really tiring."
"However, I think my performance was about 80 or 90% good. My Coolness Value and lines were both great," Conception said, sitting down on the edge of the Stage. He then looked at Lin Yu in the audience and praised him, "But your performance was really good... I almost forgot for a moment that we were in cahoots."
Lin Yu looked at the Conception and shrugged.
"After all, acting is to me what playing music is to you..."
"It's even simpler than eating or drinking!"
