Devil's Bible

Chapter 221 Is this how you become a human being?
Although Byrne has not yet appeared, the suspect has been basically identified.

Byrne is a pure profit-driven individual.

When he was young, he discovered that his younger sister was in love with a nobleman, and he did everything he could to help her.

Later, when Nair caused trouble, he basically sided with Dartmanley.

When Nemes first arrived in Tailtail, Byrne even came to visit as a lobbyist.

Later, in order to target Nemes, Byrne even approached the Scavengers, an organization on the periphery of the Fictitious Protocol, and asked them to target Nemes's smuggling caravans.

However, because Isabella had not advanced to the Iron type, and the environment at the time did not allow her to use her spiritual power to perceive things, it was impossible to be completely certain of Byrne's identity, and there was no way to hold him accountable afterwards.

On the surface, Byrne is a staunch supporter of the Dartmenley family, and all his status, position, and wealth are bestowed upon him by the Dartmenley family.

However, if we look beyond appearances, we will find that Byrne is only loyal to his own interests; everything else is just empty talk.

Given this, with the Dartmenley family and the Nemes having their positions reversed, what problems arise when Byrne seeks refuge with his nephew?
On the contrary, this is perfectly normal.

Or rather, Byrne had wanted to join Naims a long time ago, but he was hesitant because Naims was still holding onto old grudges.

So if Nemes just beckoned with his finger, Byrne would immediately run to him.

"Byrne, what is he doing?" Dartmanley tried to locate Byrne, but all he knew was that Byrne had gone to discuss business with a certain chamber of commerce.

Then they sent people to look for him, but found that Byrne could not be found.

Isabella remained calm upon receiving this answer, showing no significant emotional fluctuation.

Dartmanley's face darkened. He knew his family had serious problems, but he hadn't realized they were this serious.

An outsider who doesn't even share the same surname is able to access the seal and then swagger out to act on behalf of the Dartmenley family.

Most importantly, after the other party did it, the family did not notice anything unusual.

It took outsiders to come to the door and investigate step by step to find out the other party's problem.

It was a silent humiliation that everyone in the family seemed to be manipulated by the other side.

Faced with this situation, Dartmanley wanted to get angry, but he managed to hold back, and at the same time, a certain idea in his heart became more and more firm.

“Ms. Isabella, as you can see, we did not bring Sissi back.”

“I understand.” Isabella was certain that Datmenley was not lying at this moment, and then took her leave.

Given the current situation, it seems that she is no longer suitable to stay.

After seeing Isabella's departing figure, Dartmanley could no longer contain his anger; the entire family would indeed need a thorough cleanup.

Isabella was about to leave with her servants when she saw a young man practicing in the distance.

He waved the sword in his hand while breathing.

The speed wasn't particularly fast, but you could tell his hands were very steady and his movements were perfectly fluid.

This is a common breathing technique practice. While breathing, swordsmanship training is carried out. By using breathing, the muscles throughout the body are mobilized, thereby driving changes in numerical values.

However, the reason this exercise was able to attract Isabella's attention was because of the strength that the other party unintentionally displayed.

The sword blade was lowered slightly, and the breath exhaled momentarily brushed against the fine grass on the ground.

At the same time, a powerful life force emerged, and the surrounding vegetation and insects all died.

This is the squeezing of life by life. It usually occurs when the level of life forms is absolutely overwhelming, but the life form itself lacks control or is not intentionally controlling itself.

"A steel-type?" Isabella could tell that the other party wasn't very old.

To become a Steel-type at such an advanced age, barely even an adult, demonstrates an abnormally high level of talent.

"Bloodline experiments?" Isabella had no choice but to think this way, after all, the Dartmenley family had a history of such experiments.

However, Isabella quickly abandoned the idea. After the boy finished his training, he looked over and had a simple and honest feeling about him, just like a tree growing in the forest.

This kind of temperament, even if it's an experimental subject, it's not an ordinary experimental subject.

While Isabella was still thinking, the boy had already arrived in front of her.

"Auntie?" Naim looked at Isabella with curiosity in his eyes.

Although he had been cramming on a lot of knowledge about humans during this time, he still had a lot of curiosity about them.

"Can you tell me how you did it?" the Holy Son asked. "You give me a feeling that is completely different from other humans, like... like animals and plants."

Isabella was taken aback, unsure of how the other person was describing it.

Before Isabella could figure it out, the Holy Son immediately spoke up again: "No, you don't seem like an animal."

“You are like something higher.” But what that higher thing was, the Holy Son could not say.

In his view, most life in this world is no different from plants.

They take root in the soil, drawing and competing for all the nutrients from the outside world, but in the process, they are both cultivated and harvested by people.

However, some of them are not just plants; they are animals.

Just like the Dartmanley family, they are social animals who have formed a group. Some of them have transcended the self-sufficient growth of plants and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the development of the group.

But now that he has met Isabella, the Holy Son senses that she is a completely different individual.

They possess the essence of social animals, yet they are different from the Dartmenley family.

Humans are really complicated.

The Holy Son looked at Isabella curiously, but Isabella didn't know how to answer his question.

However, at this moment, Isabella roughly understood where the Holy Son's doubts lay. After a pause, she said seriously, "I am not an animal or a plant, I am a human being."

"And I hope that everyone can become a human being."

Upon hearing this answer, the Holy Son froze on the spot.

He pondered various complex questions, using different things to symbolize humanity, only to find that he never knew what humanity should originally be like.

Then the Holy Son raised his head and looked at Isabella: "So everyone should be like you?"

"Is someone like you even human?"

“I don’t know either.” Isabella shook her head; she didn’t know what humans were like either.

She simply wanted to alleviate the suffering of most people because she could empathize with their plight.

As the Holy Son inquired, Isabella's previously chaotic mind seemed to suddenly recall her past self.
