I am Noble

catastrophe.

The massive explosion in the center of Houston swept over 300 kilometers in diameter. The affected areas also included Austin, the state of Texas. The federal government immediately dispatched a rescue party, but the chances of survivors ever existed were slim.

An unprecedented catastrophe has turned the United States upside down. I was told to reveal the truth about what had happened. Terrorism, accidents, monster attacks, all sorts of things.

In the meantime, the Republicans make swift moves.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. It is the dominant opinion that there is a Retention Dealer involved in the Houston catastrophe. The White House is also tipping over. ”

“Why would he do that? For what reason?”

Vissi could not understand English. Yeong-woong was a great terrorist, but he was conversational enough. It was just a friendly announcement of our mutual friendship with him.

“We don't know why yet. It's highly classified. ”

“But you can guess, right? ”

“There is some information that Black rank monsters are involved. ”

“Black rating? ”

The word "black" raises questions about Vissi. That was the first I heard of him.

“This is the rank of the first monster chosen by Eui Ung Dealer. It is a red parent, and its power is not even comparable to that of the red. ”

“How specific is it? ”

“Twenty Red Mobs came at the same time and said they couldn't win. ”

“That much! ”

Vichy was greatly admired while expressing a vague greed.

“Then the crystals must be incredibly powerful. ”

“Probably. ”

“The Black Mob was in Houston? ”

The contour of the great river begins to be caught.

Crystals are money. Good crystals cost more. The Red Mob's crystals are now treated as strategic materials. The Black Mob's crystals are beyond compare.

The Black Mob is in Houston, and Yeong-woong visits Houston. And then came the apocalypse. The front and back fit together too well.

“You tried to take down the Black Mob on your own big time. ”

Vissi pulled out her tongue. He saw the Houston catastrophe video. Among them were footage taken from space.

Not even the most powerful hydrogen bomb in history would have been able to do that. If that explosion had hit us, we wouldn't have survived the rumors that Kee Woong is a powerful tanker.

“Someone has to take responsibility. ”

“To what extent do you think the line is? ”

“Isn't resignation too simple? At least hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died. The lives of American citizens are expensive. ”

Texas was also home to the Vichy family. It cannot be left alone personally.

“Prepare the ammunition. But first we have to do the polls. ”

“I'll do it.”

You seem to be very busy with the next election. It's a national tragedy, but we can't afford to lose this talent from the party's point of view. For at least 16 years, the Republicans will be in power.

The vice president will succeed even if he resigns. However, Democrats will not be free from the criticism that they have caused tragedy. Even if the vice president succeeds, the rest of the term will be hell.

“Senator, you have a visitor. ”

“Customer?”

“I'm Jace Rockefeller. ”

“... to come in. ”

Vissi raises a heavy butt. No matter how great the name of the Vichi family is, I couldn't smile peacefully in front of the name Rockefeller. It's the top code family in the United States, approved by Zata.

There were also a few cottons with Jace Rockefeller. He was an important figure in the crystal industry of the Rockefeller family.

“It's been a long time, Senator. ”

“Welcome. Is your father well?”

“Thank you for your concern. Are you all right, Senator? ”

“I'm always the same. ”

A small conversation came and went. Jace persistently did not bring up the matter despite his young age. I kept talking about the world without erasing my smile all the time.

However, there was no mixture of the Houston catastrophes in any of the light discourses. It aroused Vichy's doubts, giving rise to certain certainties.

“If you have something to say, don't hesitate. ”

“You say that like I want something and it sounds like I'm here to see you. ”

“If not, I made a mistake. ”

Jace smiled as if he was no longer interested in shaking his hands. There was no sense of defeat in that attitude. It was also what Vissi wanted.

“Is it impeachment or resignation? ”

It sounded a bit sudden. But there was no need for further explanation between the two.

“We'll have to come to an agreement, but perhaps impeachment will be considered. As a result, you will resign. ”

Before the impeachment comes into effect, the president will announce his resignation. That's what Vichy meant.

“The next election is won by Republicans. ”

“That's right. We need a lot of help. ”

The Rockefellers were also Republicans' biggest supporters and supporters. It was also the Republican party that Vichy met Jace for the first time.

“President Wilklen's summit will voluntarily resign as soon as we've had a chance to sort this out. The anger of the American citizens will envelop the Democratic Party. Do we really need to do an impeachment? ”

“Don't put oil on the fiery enemy camp? ”

“The fire won't go out without putting oil on it. There will be nothing left. ”

“Why is that? ”

Vissi's tone calmed. I don't know why, but Jace is demanding self-interest from the Republicans right now. Letting go of this curiosity is not possible.

Of course he wasn't wrong. The Democrats will still be saturated, and the next election will be won by the Republicans. A house that burns to the ground if left alone.

But wouldn't oil burn faster and more vigorously?

“You've heard of Black grade monsters. ”

“ ……! ”

After Vissi's expression became stiff, Jace wiped his smile and solemnly spoke.

“That's a quick story. ”

“Speak up. ”

“A byproduct of Project Prometheus…… No, it's a success. ”

“ ……. ”

Vissi was speechless. Prometheus, named after God for bringing fire to mankind for the first time. It was led by Rockefeller, and many codes, including the Vichi family, paid for the project.

“Here's the good news first. After a long study, the project research team has succeeded in recreating a fire that will never go out. ”

The purpose of the Prometheus project is to fuse the blue crystals to form the parent crystals. The study started with a little doodling in Dr. Whipher's notebook.

‘The stone of Knoxus will not be consumed forever. ’

Green crystals and blue crystals are also consumed and disappear. However, purple crystals can be used as an unlimited source of energy. The Vichi family paid a lot of money to bring that unlikely possibility to life.

A fire that cannot be extinguished forever by name.

Prometheus Project is to smoke it out.

But...

“The bad news? ”

“I set the fire without a safe bowl. ”

“…… The catastrophe is a talent. ”

Vichy does not know the details of the project's progress or details. So far, he's just a simple investor. However, if this is known at the time, the blade against the Democrats will return to the invested families.

And then what?

The Republicans will be victorious, but the Victorians will be defeated. It was a future that Vissi didn't want.

“Can I hear more? ”

It was a question I didn't expect to ask. But Jace answered kindly. to get his aggressive cooperation.

“We've been working on this for a long time, but fusion of blue crystals in artificial environments has failed. So the research team found another way. If it's not possible in an artificial environment, it's natural environment. ”

“…… a natural environment? ”

* * *

“Crazy! These guys are crazy! ”

Graves is stunned by the difficult information Sonya has brought. The information Sonia brought was overwhelming for a moment.

“You fed the Yellow Mob the Blue Crystal? ”

“Yes! That's not once or twice. ”

“Is it possible for the Yellow Mob to digest crystal energy? ”

“Of course, I failed many times. I couldn't digest any blue crystals, and they all exploded. Every time I did that, I would retrieve the blue crystals and do the same experiment over and over again. to find the right fit. ”

I could understand what the suitability meant without having to listen to the supplementary explanation.

“But purple crystals require 100,000 crystals. The Black Mob has two individuals. Carlita, and the guy whose code name hasn't been assigned yet. The Rockefellers have collected 200,000 blue crystals? ”

Graves knows that the total amount of blue crystals collected by the Rockefellers is over 100,000, but far less than 200,000. Then only one block mob should appear. Then why?

“Is there anything else? Anything minor. Do you have any information that might suggest the truth? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Sonya says as if she is not confident.

“It's not that important... The research team must have called the stone of Knoxus a constant fire. ”

“A fire that won't go out? ”

“Yes. The stone of Knoxus is said to have a constant ability. The research team wasn't sure, but it must have been in Dr. Whipher's journal. ”

“The fire that never goes out, the fire that never goes out, the fire that never goes out, the fire that never goes out.... ”

Graves, who mutters repeatedly as if seduced, suddenly slaps his knee.

“I see!”

“Yes? What? ”

“Think. If the fire doesn't go out, what happens if it doesn't go out forever?" ”

“What's going on? Burn the perimeter! ”

“That's it! It's a fire! That's why there's two of them! ”

If the fire that never goes out is a campfire,
