I Am Genie-Chapter 100: Raphael’s Proposal

Raphael's request was so simple that not only was Leo stunned, but Michael and Iris were just as confused.

Originally, it was a bet with an incredibly attractive reward, but now, through Raphael's words, it felt like... warm father-son affection?

Had Raphael ever said anything like this before? They had no memory of anything similar.

But the relationship between this father and son never seemed good enough for sentimental talks. Those two not staring at each other with wide eyes was already a good situation.

"What do you mean? Are you sure the request is only this simple?"

Leo asked back, unsure. He felt this request was too ordinary. If it contained something deeper, that would be understandable.

But contrary to his guess, Raphael had no other reaction besides gently nodding once.

"You're not hearing things. My request is just that. There's no deeper intention behind it either."

Hearing this, Leo continued to speculate why his father was doing this. His thoughts only led to one existence he had never met, that person was Astrid.

If Raphael had once promised Astrid something related to the request he just made, then everything would be easy to understand.

Leo certainly wasn't complaining about Raphael wasting such a big opportunity. The simpler the request, the happier he felt.

"I have no reason to disagree with such a small matter. Besides, I think you need to understand one thing. I have always sought only the path to 'life', never the path to 'death'." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

How could a revolutionary seek death? Everything they sacrifice is to find a path to life. They want to live true to their own ideals, live true to what is right, they want to bring about an era more worth living in than ever before.

Raphael gently nodded upon hearing the answer. To him, the hidden meaning in Leo's words was essentially unimportant. As long as Leo didn't go looking for a path to death on his own, that was enough.

In the past, Astrid had hoped Leo wouldn't get too entangled in the past grudges with The Great Sun Temple. But Raphael's stance had long since shifted from avoidance to revenge.

The force had up to three beings with god-level talent. And if Iris joined, then chances were high that her subordinates would join too. Combine that with the power of that old man Gabriel and himself as well.

Although Raphael's vengeful goals made him slightly different from the rest, as long as they didn't conflict with each other, it was fine.

With power this great, if Raphael didn't go seek revenge on The Great Sun Temple, he felt he wouldn't be worthy of Astrid at all.

He understood that Astrid herself, if she encountered an opportunity like this, would make the same choice. After all, a force with such enormous potential like this on the continent, besides The Great Sun Temple, no one could oppose it.

"You agreeing is fine then. I won't interfere with other things you do. By the way, do you three have any plans right now? If not, you can consider my advice."

As soon as he said this, all three of them looked towards Raphael. If you asked who here had the most experience with training, it was definitely him.

Although Iris had a lot of knowledge, in reality, she hadn't been training as a contractor for very long. What she knew was basic theory, but many things around it she wasn't very clear on.

"Go ahead and speak. We currently don't know what to do next either."

Michael spoke up to break the silence. He also really wanted to hear what kind of brilliant idea Raphael had.

"Alright, then I'll lay out two ways I've thought of."

"First, I take you guys to hunt energy monsters. Your talents can definitely absorb power up to the limit of a one-star energy monster.

But going this path later on will be quite isolating from society because you won't follow the commoners' usual route. Worst case, you could be seen as outlaws."

The limit of a one-star energy monster has a combat power of ten. The weakest type only has a combat power of four.

A normal adult human has a combat power of one. For those who have pushed their bodies near the limit like Iris, Michael, and Leo after using their transformation state, they have a combat power of three.

These basic concepts Iris had explained clearly to Michael and Leo a long time ago. This is also considered common knowledge in the world of contractors.

"The second path is to participate in the awakening ceremony like everyone else. Doing that, you guys will have certificates to join elementary academies. If so, you'll have more opportunities to interact with the current social situation.

Money probably isn't an issue for Iris so I won't talk about that. But can you disguise your talents? If possible, I recommend showing only five-star talent on the outside."

For ordinary people, they can't disguise it at all, so as soon as a genius appears, the major powers immediately come to compete.

But the three of them have god-level talent, showing only one star on the outside. This type of talent no academy values. Moreover, if they break through too quickly, it would arouse suspicion from knowledgeable people.

"Disguise? You mean I'm scared? In this life, I've never been afraid of anyone."

As soon as Iris heard about disguise, some nerve in her brain must have been triggered because she suddenly went crazy.

Seeing her glaring like she was about to jump at Raphael for a fight, Leo immediately held her back. She occasionally pulled this kind of nonsense, he was used to it by now. Just needed to know how to talk a bit to resolve it.

"Calm down. You're not disguising yourself because you're scared, but because those people don't have the right to see the true talent of a god like you."

Michael pursed his lips in disdain at this comrade of his. If it were him, he absolutely couldn't lower himself to say such flattering words... Previous times didn't count because back then he was still very weak. Now that he's strong, he definitely wouldn't do such embarrassing behavior anymore.
