Chapter 380

Su Han looked at Alexander.

He was slightly curious about what Alexander meant by a method that would satisfy both sides.

Alexander stepped before Heracles, laughing loudly, and extended his invitation to him.

"Hero! Would you be interested in joining my ranks? If you become my vassal, I am willing to share the Holy Grail with you!"

Alexander had clearly forgotten his earlier attempt to recruit, which had ended in humiliation.

Heracles' only response was a low growl, his axe-sword swinging relentlessly at Alexander.

He appeared extremely agitated.

"...... Alright! It seems recruitment has failed."

Alexander felt a pang of regret.

The hero before him, even as a mad warrior stripped of reason, still radiated a certain... bearing, utterly unlike the fully monstrous form he had taken before.

Thus, Alexander naturally felt profound regret that recruitment had failed.

Wei Bo covered his forehead and let out a weary sigh, muttering.

"This isn't even about recruitment failing... By the way, what kind of bizarre Servant in the Holy Grail War would abandon their Master to join you?"

"Hahaha!"

Alexander laughed heartily, "A hundred words are worth less than one attempt! That's my life motto."

Illya hesitated, then stepped forward and stared earnestly at Alexander.

"Emperor Alexander, please don't worry that we are your enemies!"

"My only reason for coming here is to save my parents! And this matter doesn't require the Holy Grail to resolve..."

Illya turned her head to gaze at Heracles beside her, a faint smile curving her lips.

"Moreover, after forming a contract with Heracles... I found no wish of his that required the Holy Grail to fulfill!"

Upon hearing this, Alexander finally fell silent.

He gave Illya a long look, then nodded, "So that's how it is? Then we do indeed have a foundation for cooperation!"

Su Han remained silent for a long while, then turned to Wei Bo, still caught in his turmoil, "So how long are you planning to keep the Holy Grail matter hidden..."

Su Han gave a subtle warning, "The longer you hide it, the worse your fate will be when it's eventually exposed."

"If you confess now, you might still earn the Conqueror King's forgiveness!"

Alexander was utterly baffled, staring strangely at his Master.

Wei Bo's face flushed crimson as he gestured wildly, "I never meant to hide it! But the key point is, I've only just summoned the Conqueror King—how much time have I had to speak? I've been with you the whole time!"

Su Han immediately coughed several times and looked away.

Wei Bo took a deep breath and stepped before Alexander.

Alexander now regarded Wei Bo with equal seriousness.

Wei Bo hesitated, then bowed deeply to Alexander.

"I am truly sorry! Although my negligence played a part..."

"Not telling you the truth is indeed my fault."

"Speak! Between Servant and Master, no issue cannot be resolved through talk."

Alexander smiled.

"The Holy Grail has already become corrupted! The reason I, the president, and Illya are here is not to claim the Holy Grail and fulfill our wishes—but to destroy it."

Wei Bo took a deep breath, raised his head, and met Alexander's gaze directly, no longer weak as before.

He looked utterly serious.

"The Holy Grail has turned black! Though it can grant wishes, every wish is fulfilled through disaster! For example, if you wish for all humanity to be saved, the Grail will destroy the entire world—everyone dies, and thus, salvation is achieved."

Alexander's expression grew grave. He locked eyes with Wei Bo, and when he realized his Master, despite his nervousness, still held his gaze steady, he fell silent for a long while—then laughed, relieved yet tinged with disappointment.

"So that's how it is... Then my wish to regain a body and reignite my conquest across this world cannot come true."

After a moment of thought, Alexander placed a firm hand on Wei Bo's shoulder.

"So this isn't a big problem at all! Then, my little Master, what do you intend to do about the Blackened Holy Grail?"

Wei Bo answered seriously, "I will destroy the Black Grail and save this world."

"If my little Master commands it, I have no reason to refuse!"

At this moment, Alexander displayed his grandeur, sweeping his gaze across Su Han and the others.

"If we share the same goal... then we are now... true allies!"

Illya nodded eagerly.

After a moment's thought, Wei Bo suddenly asked, "Then where should we go next?"

Although Wei Bo had used magic to hypnotize an elderly couple into taking him in,

their home was very small.

It could barely accommodate the Conqueror King—there was no way to house Su Han, Illya, and Heracles as well.

"Just find any hotel to stay at..."

Su Han paused here.

He glanced at Illya and noticed she seemed distracted. After a moment's thought, he smiled, "Let's just go rob a rich family!"

"What?"

Illya blinked in surprise.

"Don't forget—the Einzbern family has a castle outside Fuyuki City! Let's go find Irisviel—I'm sure she won't mind giving us shelter."

Illya froze, then her eyes softened with gratitude as she nodded earnestly.

"...... Then how exactly do we get there?"

Wei Bo glanced at the Divine Might Wheel behind him.

Divine Might Wheel: Though massive, it could accommodate at most three people at once.

"Isn't that simple? Of course, the usual rule!"

Su Han opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, used Divine Might to absorb Illya and Heracles into it, then smiled and stepped onto the Divine Might Wheel.

"Let's go!"

Alexander burst into loud laughter, grabbed the back of Wei Bo's collar, and hurled him onto the Divine Might Wheel amid Wei Bo's shrieks, then took control of the Divine Might Wheel.

"Then let's go! Target, Einzbern Castle!"
