Death... and me

Philip, who met the twins just a moment before they were presented to Ramona, asked them how they were watching the meeting. However, the twins simply faked a clueless expression, telling him that they didn't know what Philip was talking about. Well, Roan was just as expressionless as ever. In any case, it was Sister Orb who hacked into the formations of that room, so Rean was sure she didn't leave any clues behind that she did it.

With that being said, they continued their pretense. "Errr... do you know about us?"

However, Rean had a reason to have a confused expression. Something in that young girl gave him a sense of familiarity. However, he was sure he had never seen her before.

Ramona sweetly smiled before speaking, "I do. But not for the reason you're thinking. I was truly shocked when I first looked at your faces while you were watching our meeting. After all, I only knew that I was supposed to come to this continent to find my subordinates. I just didn't expect that you two would be those subordinates."

"Watching the meeting?" Rean asked with a puzzled expression. "What meeting are you talking about? I don't remember having ever seen a meeting where you participated. Could it be that we took part in some meeting in the past where you were present as well?" Of course, Philip was still there. Regardless, Rean would deny he saw anything to the very end.

Ramona didn't mind Rean's denial, though. She knew what she was talking about, so there was no point in insisting. "Well, perhaps it was my mistake, even though I was capable of describing your appearance without having ever seen you face to face before."

"So, will you become my subordinates?" Ramona went straight to the point after that.

"Could you at least explain what you're talking about?" If Rean or Roan simply said yes, it would be obvious that they knew what the meeting was about.

Romona shrugged her shoulders in response and played along, giving the twins a quick explanation of the situation.

Eventually, the twins could stop their pretense as they now knew the situation. "Such a thing is happening? I've never thought I could get involved in something of this scale," said Rean with a shocked expression.

Roan, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Aren't you way too young? Both this idiot and I are already over 80, but I doubt you've reached your twenties yet. Is it really okay for such an important competition to be put in your hands?" Roan was even more sure about it when thinking about Andreli. However, he didn't mention it since he wasn't supposed to know Andreli at all.

Ramona's smile continued there, though. "Oh, what are you talking about? You guys don't seem to be over 80 at all. At most, I would say you two are in your early twenties."

Roan wasn't in the mood for jokes. "Stop the bullshit. You know very well that we look this young due to our cultivation. However, it's different in your case. Your teenage appearance isn't just because of your Space Bending Realm cultivation. You're definitely at this age. Any idiot could tell that you used the Void Shattering Pill."

"Of course!" Ramona didn't deny that. "When the Jamai Sect finds a disciple worth grooming, they will give them a Void Shattering Pill. Naturally, I met the conditions, so I don't feel the least bit guilty for that. Or are you saying I'm not worth my cultivation at the moment?"

Roan shook his head. "Once again, what bothers me is your lack of experience, not your cultivation. We're just Late Stage Transition Realm cultivators. It goes without saying that strength-wise, you are better than us."

Ramona nodded, replying, "Indeed, my cultivation gives me an edge in a fight against you or your brother. However, if I were to suppress my cultivation to your level, I wonder if I could really win. After all, you two should have strength around two stages higher than similar cultivators in the center of the Realm of Gods. Well, not really the center. Our Jamai Sect is still located outside even though it's close. With that said, the geniuses of the real center of the Realm of Gods should be even stronger. In any case, at a similar level, we're pretty much evenly matched."

Rean and Roan looked at each other before looking at Philip.

Philip shook his head, though. "I haven't said anything. She deducted it by herself."

Ramona confirmed Philip's words. "It's true. I don't need him to be able to measure your real strength. Anyways, we're fated to go together to the new continent. Besides, I don't think it's a bad thing for you as well. Or could it be that none of you wish to enter the Jamai Sect after everything is over?"

Ramona continued, "As for my lack of experience, well... let's just say that I probably have more experience than any of you two."

After hearing that, Rean finally understood. "Ah! So that's how it is!"

Roan looked back at Rean as he snorted. "Ha! Took you long enough to notice, didn't you?"

"Shut up!" Rean didn't care. "We haven't seen someone like her for a very long time, so it's normal that I didn't notice straight away."

Philip was completely clueless. "What are you even talking about?"

Ramona, too, asked the same thing. "What exactly did you understand?"

Rean smiled back at Ramona before explaining, "Sorry for doubting your experience. In fact, my brother here didn't really doubt that. He was simply testing to see if you would say it yourself or not."

Ramona looked deeply at the twins. "I wonder if what you noticed is the same thing I'm thinking about."

Roan continued to be silent as he was sure about his conjecture.

Rean, on the other hand, simply shrugged his shoulders in response. "Come on! We both know that you're a reincarnated person. You have the memories of your previous life. The only question is, who were you before? I'm pretty sure we met."

"What?!" Philip was taken aback.

However, Ramona's smile grew even brighter. "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. Long time no see, Rean, Roan."
