53 Chapter 53: Stop Talking! I Believe You!

Facing Welt's strange request, had Chase seen it before?

No, he really hadn't.

"I understand roughly," Chase nodded and began to improvise...

Welt stood in front of him, silently observing Chase, wanting to see what Chase would use to make him believe, something known only to those close to him.

Chase finished his preparation and started his performance.

With a faint smile on his lips, he began to recite Otto's classic quotes with great emotion.

This was something Otto had personally said to Welt during the first simulation, and Chase had been right there, indicating their close relationship.

"I apologize for not letting you have a pleasant Thanksgiving in New York back then," Chase said, watching Welt's expression as he spoke. "For many years, I've wanted to apologize to you, even envisioned many ways, like finding a monument to kneel in front of and performing a tearful apology."

Welt's mouth twitched. He thought Chase would mention details about his daily life, his preferences, and so on, but instead, he went straight to kneeling.

What the hell! Did the deceased Otto suddenly start mocking me?

"Welt, does this prove my identity?" Chase asked. "I was right there beside you, listening to Otto's mockery."

Welt didn't maintain his serious and vigilant expression. His face became complicated.

He remembered when Otto said those words; he was on the other side of the communication, forced to listen to that blood-pressure-raising mockery. At that time, he really wanted to rush over and punch Otto through the communication device, but he couldn't do anything.

He thought that with Otto dead, this matter would be forgotten, but unexpectedly, someone still remembered...

Welt looked at Chase, his expression complex. Chase could hear those words, and there were two possibilities: either he had a close relationship with Welt, allowing him to be present during Otto's communication without arousing suspicion, or he had a close relationship with Otto, happily listening to Otto's mockery of Welt.

Welt forcefully restrained the urge to rush over and beat up Chase because he seemed genuinely emotional.

He shook his head. "No, this is not enough."

Chase was surprised. This still wasn't enough to convince him? It seemed he had to step up.

"Welt, do you know Dr. Tesla's telegraph habits?" Chase asked.

"Hmm?" Welt's curiosity was piqued. "Go on, I'm listening."

Chase: "I f%$&…$%^&*%^$#&%…$%^&*."

Bella on the side opened her mouth wide. She didn't understand what her big brother said, but she knew Chase had cursed very vulgarly.

Welt remained silent for a long time, thinking that only someone very close to Tesla could remember such a telegraph technique. At this point, he believed Chase's identity about half.

But he couldn't be sure...

So, Welt continued to ask, "Anything else?"

"And you and your foster mother..." Chase had just started to speak, but Welt swiftly appeared in front of him and promptly covered his mouth.

This was not allowed. Good student, you can't say that!

"I believe, I believe," Welt hurriedly said.

Chase finally relaxed, patting his chest and assuring, "I told you, I'm an ally, a friend."

"Yeah, I believe you."

As long as he didn't say that sentence again.

"Welt, rest assured, I'm your most trusted student. Trust me, and you won't be wrong," Chase said. Welt finally felt at ease.

"Hey? What? What did Chase want to say just now?" March 7th, misunderstanding resolved, came up quickly, asking curiously.

"March, adults have things that children shouldn't know too much about," Chase, seeing that Welt might find it inconvenient to explain, directly intervened.

"Hmph," March 7th pouted. "You're talking like you're much older than Chase. Besides, I'm not a little kid."

"Ho ho? I don't believe it." Chase looked proud.

(TL: MC roared in this part, but like actual roar xD... changed it tho.)

"Wow, you..." March 7th became agitated.

Welt looked at Chase appreciatively, feeling relieved. Fortunately, Chase restrained this little girl, or she might have pestered him with endless questions. Wait, would March still pester him when Chase wasn't around?

Welt pondered.

This good student, he had to find a way to get him on the train.

.............

Misunderstandings resolved, everyone sighed in relief.

Bronya and Seele exchanged glances, each sighing with relief. They thought it was fortunate they didn't start fighting; otherwise, they might have encountered a major setback before even starting.

Sampo cowered in a corner, trembling. Because he noticed Chase's malicious gaze was directed at him...

No, I'm just a guide; it can't be, right?! Sampo had clearly forgotten that he had deliberately warned everyone about Chase's escape just now.

But Chase didn't forget. He directly summoned one of his loyal sisters... Bella, to go and apprehend the despicable Sampo.

As a result, the situation evolved into what it was now.

Sampo squatted in the corner, holding his head, trembling. By his side was Bella, the girl with silver hair and blue eyes, looking at him with a terrifying gaze.

Sampo felt utterly embarrassed. If the brothers in the tavern knew about this, he, Old Sampo, might become the subject of ridicule...

Everyone (except Sampo) gathered again to discuss the next arrangements. The topic naturally shifted to how to persuade Svarog to reveal information about the stellaron.

Chase looked at Welt, then at Bella, thinking, with this lineup, why are we still thinking about persuading? Let's just go and crush them!

Chase looked at the others and found them earnestly discussing how to persuade Svarog. He felt a bit out of touch with the times, sighed a bit self-deprecatingly, and suddenly noticed that Welt was staring at him.

Meeting Welt's gaze, Chase realized that there was a strange glint in Welt's eyes. A chill ran down his spine.

Could it be because he knows too much, and they want to eliminate him?

Of course, Chase couldn't imagine that, at this moment, Welt was only thinking about how to bring this guy on board to help him take the hit...

Chase smiled at Welt, trying to prove his harmlessness as much as possible. The thoughts that had arisen earlier were put on hold, and he started thinking about more significant matters, like how to ensure his personal safety.

Chase looked at Welt again, thinking that they should find a time to have a good chat.
