Tap Tycoon System!

A cunning light flashed past Meredith's eyes.

"Since Lord King has already commenced the war, looking for the other books and reviving the others will have to wait for a little while."

Saying that, she looked at the book that suddenly appeared on her hand.

It was an old tattered book with a golden outline around its edges and the title written in bold golden words.

Illuminati!

She caressed the book with her soft looking hands and a grin formed on her lips.

"It was really my fortune to be the first one out of the four to be revived."

Saying that, she turned her gaze at the reflection on the glass wall, smiled, and said while nodding in satisfaction, "And the vessel that I got was also a pretty good one."

If Nathan was here, he would immediately recognize this woman called Meredith.

Because it was none other than the woman he was thinking about just a while ago and suspected to be part of the illuminati.

Julia.

However, what Nathan didn't know is that this woman is no longer the fragile girl that he saved at the alley before.

That is because this body has been occupied by some other soul, the soul of a criminal that has roamed the universe for centuries.

And that is Meredith!

This all happened because of the Illuminati book that Natalie first found in an abandoned bookstore before.

The book of Illuminati was an artifact created by the Naecos to seal the souls of some powerful members of the infamous Universe Tier organization, Illuminati.

It also contained information regarding the Illuminati, to warn the people in the future about the danger that Illuminati could bring.

But after countless years have passed, some of the books were lost by the descendants of the creator of the Illuminati book, causing it to spread all over the world, with its locations unknown.

The book that was picked up by Natalie was actually containing the soul of Meredith, a powerful powerhouse that is infamous through various galaxies because of her evil doings.

In the past, she has already caused countless worlds to fall into destruction through the means of enticing war with the help of her beauty.

Earning her the title of,

'The Beauty that can ruin the World.'

She hopped world after world, causing countless worlds to fall into their destruction.

But when she went to Earth and was planning to destroy it as well, she was found by the Naecos and was hence sealed in the book.

It was one of the books that was lost by the Naecos.

After years have passed, the seal on the book gradually started to loosen causing her to slowly get out of the book and finally taking another person's body as a vessel.

Who, unfortunately, was Julia.

After taking over her body, Meredith used Julia's soul as nourishment to stabilize her position over the vessel that she took.

That is to say, Julia, who Nathan once saved, has been gone from this world from that moment on.

And in her place is the crazy and evil woman, Meredith.

After looking at her reflection on the glass wall for some time, Meredith retracted her eyes.

She walked out of the room with a look full of anticipation in her face.

With a thick smile, she softly said, "I can wait to see this world fall into ruins."

….

Back at the cafe.

After hearing Runa's words of wanting to explore the 'ruins', James and Kenneth showed a confused expression.

While Nathan still has this interested look on his face, Irish looks flustered by Runa's words and keeps sending her eye signals.

But Runa just took a glance at her before suddenly turning her eyes to Nathan.

"Brother Nathan, I know that between everyone of us here, you're the one that has the most say in this. That is why, I ask you, please help me explore the ruins and learn more about it."

A firm look appeared on her face as her resolve was shown through her eyes.

Nathan can feel her eagerness to continue exploring the said ruin.

He can understand her a little as he also knows that Runa is a Naeco and probably wants to learn more about her origins.

But Nathan doesn't plan to expose that he knows about Runa.

Intertwining his fingers, he crossed his legs and looked at her with a serious face.

"You want to continue the exploration? You have seen the danger that the ruins have, right?"

Runa nodded.

"Then why do you want to continue exploring it then?" Nathan asked, tilting his head.

Of course, Nathan is only asking.

He already guessed Runa's thoughts and just wants it to come out of her own mouth as it would be suspicious if he just blurted it out.

"This…" a tangled look appeared on Runa's face.

Obviously hesitant about telling Nathan the reason.

Seeing this, Nathan suddenly raised an eyebrow.

'Hmm? It's not something she needs to hide, right?' he thought.

He waited for a few seconds before Runa suddenly stood up and walked to his side.

Nathan was confused for a bit but did not make a move.

Looking at him, Runa then said, "Uhm, Brother Nathan, what I'm about to tell you is very important. It's not something that I can say in public, so…"

She glanced in the surroundings, also at James, Kenneth and Irish.

Seeing her like that, Nathan became more confused.

But understanding that what Runa wants is a private space, he decided to give it to her.

Nodding his head, he turned his eyes to everyone on the table and said, "Everyone, I will talk to Runa for a bit. After we come back, we will continue our talk about this."

Then he walked away with Runa following behind him.

The three that were left on the table were silent and did not know what to say.

After a long time, Kenneth and James turned their heads to Irish and at the same time asked,

"What is all of that about?"
