Chapter 1228: He is the enemy?

As Westcott named the spirits, Origami's heart started shaking.

Origami is 100% sure Westcott knew about her spirit classmates.

Why didn't Westcott bust down the doors and windows to capture the spirits? .medrectangle-3-multi-146{border:none !important;display:block !important;float:none;line-height:0px;margin-bottom:15px !important;margin-left:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-top:15px !important;max-width:100% !important;min-height:250px;min-width:250px;padding:0;text-align:center !important;}

Wasn't DEM supposed ot be after spirits?

Although spacequake management and spirit subjugation are usually handled by the military of each nation. These armies are nothing compared to the forces DEM can send out. They have better equipment and they are better armed than any other nation in the world.

With their assault-specialized Realizers, the nations are usually the ones begging for help or new equipment from DEM. It is not unheard of for DEM to get full control over spirit-subjugation matters whenever they interfere.

He already knows the location and identities of the spirits, why didn't he send out a hit squad to take them down?

Moreover, this is after one of the spirits trashed his branch HQ.

Origami didn't think about it. With the cat out of the bag, she decided to be honest.

"Yes."

Origami nodded.

"I know Yatogami Tohka, Tokisaki Kurumi, Yamai Yuzuru, Yamai Kaguya, and Itsuka Shido are all spirits."

"Oh?"

Westcott mused out loud.

Origami thought Westcott would ask her why she didn't escalate this to higher management, however, he asked her something different.

"Please, tell me why someone like you, whose parents died to a spirit can still go to the same class as spirits like them?"

"You…"

Origami shot a lightning-fast glare in Westcott's direction.

"You checked my background?!"

"Just to make sure this conversation will flow well…"

Origami's questioning failed to make Westcott flinch.

"Moreover, it's not like your information is very hard to find…"

Origami inhaled deeply. She didn't take a respectful stance with him anymore.

It is as Ryouko said, these DEM people are all scums.

Westcott continued with a cold tone.

"Hey, Tobiichi-san…"

Westcott smirked. He ignored Origami's frosty leer.

"Do you want to know who killed your parents?"

Origami started trembling, her gaze sharpened. Her voice turned hoarse.

"Y-you know?"

Westcott grinned. The TV started playing another reel.

The quality of the video is very poor. The details are grainy and the vantage point is dubious at best. The reel started in the middle.

The video showed Tengu City in a sea of flames.

Then, the video zoomed in to a certain corner, focusing on a certain individual.

Origami's eyes widened.

"Father… Mother…"

Her parents appeared in the video.

The two silhouettes got blasted by a pillar of flames from above. A crater was created where her parents once were.

Origami balled her palms into fists. She also lost control of her breathing.

She watched her parents get killed in front of her eyes again. That pain isn't something one should go through.

Origami also started huffing because she saw a certain black figure in the video.

It looked like the black figure was the one who emitted that flame pillar, the flame shot that killed her parents.

Ellen manipulated the remote to zoom in on the individual.

The killer appeared in Origami's eyes.

She finally saw the person she has been chasing after for five years, she saw the individual she swore vengeance against.

With the black figure slowly sharpening in resolution, Origami trained her eyes on the killer.

Black shirt, black hair, red eyes…

Origami saw this guy almost every day.

She knew this man.

He is in her class.

She backed away from the image as her eyes wavered. She mumbled the name of her parent's killer.

"Itsuka… Shido…"

The one who killed her parents turned out to be Wu Yan.

"I-It's him…"

Origami uttered the name of the killer.

Hatred took over her at a rapid rate.

"I-It was you…"

Origami ran out of the room in an instant.

Ellen predicted this. She blocked Origami's path. With a wave of her hand, she incapacitated Origami. It felt like someone placed a mountain on her shoulders as she got slammed to the floor.

"What are you doing?!"

Origami struggled against her restraints.

"Release me!"

"Don't waste your strength."

Ellen coldly told Origami off.

"My Territory is the most refined among magicians, even if you have a CR unit, you still can't break free…"

"Release me!"

Origami can't hear anything. She only knew she must escape from her binding. Ellen frowned while Westcott sighed.

"Tobiichi-san, even if I release you, do you think you can succeed in your vengeance? You know his identity, I am guessing you also know you have no chance at all, right?"

"I don't care…"

Origami snarled.

"I am going either way!"

"Calm down, Tobiichi-san…"

Westcott stood up, he looked down at Origami with his nasty grin.

"I have the newest CR unit, fresh out of the oven, your powers will get a tremendous boost. Trust me, you will like what I have in store for you."

Origami stopped struggling.

"What do you mean?"

"I am saying, I have the tools for you to go get your revenge."

Westcott narrowed his eyes.

"Only with my help will you get your revenge."

"Help?"

Origami turned dark.

"Why are you helping me?"

"Why?"

Westcott gasped.

"I thought spirits were enemies to humanity, isn't it normal for me to give you the tools you need to kill spirits?"

Origami tried to see if Westcott was lying. However, she couldn't peer past his smirk.

"Takamiya Mana was once a DEM member. She is younger than you but she can fight spirits on her own because of the tools given to her. If Tobiichi-san so wishes, I can provide you with the newest CR unit optimized just for you. I will even throw in as many free Maryoku enhancement and surgeries as you wish."

"These enhancements will raise your physical and magical limits. Takamiya Mana became the second strongest magician due to these enhancements. I have reasons to believe that after your augmentations, you will become as strong, if not stronger than Mana."

"However, I must warn you, these surgeries and augmentations will give you massive boosts in power but, it will come at the cost of your lifespan. I am afraid that after all the enhancements, you will only have one year left to live."

"Fine with me!"

Origami's eyes had burning glints in them.

"If I can kill spirits, if I can defeat Shido, I will do anything!"

Westcott laughed out loud.
