Chapter 254: 275 100TH EPISODE BLIND JUSTICE (IX)

REMI stared at the man in front of him. The image of the teenager who used to give him a helpless smile was already gone. He couldn't even find even a single trace of him.

He wondered what could have happened in the 15 years they hadn't seen each other. He wanted to ask the other how he had been doing these past years. Was he doing okay? What kind of life did he live? But more than that, he wanted to ask why Noa suddenly disappeared.

After that incident, he woke up in the hospital only to find out that Noa was gone. The police said that he was the only one they found at that warehouse. He thought it was another plot of his uncle. So, his plan to take care of the other had to be moved much earlier.

But even after taking revenge on his uncle and taking control over his family's conglomerate, he still wasn't able to find Noa. He had already proven that his uncle had nothing to do with Noa's sudden disappearance. He didn't have any clue on where to look next. But that didn't mean that he would stop.

In his search for Noa, he met Hunter and then Callie. Meeting the two led to them making this whole revenge business. The three of them had their own reasons for doing this sort of business. It might have just been a whim at the start. But as years passed by and the number of people they helped increased, they knew that it was something they would want to do for a decade more or so.

This didn't mean Remi ever stopped looking for Noa though. Every time he thought he was close on finding him, the other's trace would then disappear. As if it never existed in the first place.

Meeting the other now, knowing that he was using a fake identity with military level protection, there must be something hidden beneath. Which included the reason why he was trying to get close to Kit Brooks. And that's why Noa couldn't just openly recognized him.

Remi had to believe that or else he might just collapse.

He took a deep breath and smiled as normal as he could. "No, I'm only the representative. Mr. Brooks is kind enough to trust me and our company with his money."

Noa showed a surprise look for a second but it was quickly replaced by a friendly smile. "It's Kit's luck to be able to meet you then."

Remi only smiled back. If he opened his mouth now, he's afraid that he might say something that he shouldn't. Something that would make him look extremely pathetic.

[Boss, it's time. Where are you?]

The voice from his earpiece finally gave Remi the excuse to leave. After bidding farewell, he used all the willpower his body could conjure to turn around walked out of the balcony.

After he left, what he didn't see was the change in expression on Noa's face. A myriad of emotions flashed through his eyes. Longing and sadness being the two most prominent. He closed his eyes tightly as if gathering all his emotions. When he opened them again, all anyone could see was calmness.

He then pressed the earpiece in his right ear and said to the people at the receiving end, "Be ready."

The scenes that followed was with Kit Brooks telling the guests in his party about the investment he made. It was a company known for Mecha manufacturing and was pretty famous in the Artemian Galaxy. They would be building a new type of Mecha that could be stored in a space stone.

Everyone at the scene gasped. Because that was a fairly knew technology. If it succeeded, then wouldn't Kit make a ton of money?

Kit then said that the company had already made a prototype. So, they would be doing demonstration to show it to everyone. But since Artemian Galaxy was two galaxies away from the planet they were in, they could only watch the demonstration via a live video.

Then, a huge virtual screen appeared in front of everyone. All of them were expecting to see a lab or something along those lines. But then what they saw was an animated clown laughing and shouting;

[You've been had! You've been had! You've been had!]

After that, a card appeared on the screen. It was that of a blindfolded woman wearing a toga and holding a scale. People familiar with this card immediately understood what happened.

It was Themis!

This group scammed Kit Brooks. Now, not only his money was taken, even his reputation would now be in tatters.

The star of the show – Kit Brooks – also understood what was happening. His face turned from red to green to blue. A reflection of what he's feeling right now.

It was here that a flashback appeared showing how Themis fooled Kit Brooks into investing all his money to them. It was simple, really. Remi just had to make a fake video of a Mecha entering a space stone. Of course, this video was very realistic. If one was a layman just like Kit Brooks, they would definitely be fooled.

"Find those bastards for me! Find them now!" Kit shouted.

But before his men could react, the door to the ballroom suddenly opened and uniformed military men walked inside.

"Kit Brooks, you're under arrest," the leading man said. He followed that by listing all the crimes that the other had committed.

Kit Brooks knelt down, he only had one thought at that moment – it's over!

**********

On the balcony…

Noa, who didn't care about what was happening inside, was leaning on the railings. He watched as an aircraft flew away into the night sky. He had no doubt as to who the three passengers in that aircraft were.

The corner of his lips turned up. "Until next time, young master."

**********

The next scene was already the next morning. Remi in disguise was looking for Noa. But the other seemed to have disappeared like a bubble.

At the end of the day, he could only clench his fists and looked into the horizon.

"This is not the end, Noa. I will find you. Definitely."
