Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1305 Meeting and Alliance

"Now is not the time to sigh! The Holy Grail War is a magic ceremony held in secret. Caster caused such a big commotion, how could the church keep it a secret? We must get rid of him quickly!"

Weber said eagerly.

Iskandar stopped smiling, patted Waver's shoulder gently, and said in a soothing tone: "Well, calm down for a moment, Master Yu. The caster made such a big noise, it must have alarmed more than just the two of us. The others may not be as fast as us, but they will be here soon. Although I also want to get rid of the monster down there as soon as possible, let's wait until everyone else arrives before discussing how to deal with it."

Waver was stunned. He looked into Iskandar's eyes, which were full of wisdom and majesty, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

The man in front of me might do something ridiculous due to some inexplicable ideas at ordinary times, but once he encounters serious matters, he can show a convincing kingly demeanor and thoughtful bearing.

This contrast made Weber feel helpless and full of respect.

"Look, Master, they are coming."

Iskander's words interrupted Waver's contemplation.

He looked in the direction of Iskandar's finger and saw a silver lightning streak cutting through the night sky at an incredible speed, rushing towards the Fuyuki Bridge.

It was a silver motorcycle, and the driver was none other than Altria. Her figure was tall and elegant, and even when driving at high speed, she maintained the calm and composed temperament of a king.

The roar of the motorcycle gradually approached, and Altria's figure became clearer and clearer.

……

Let’s go back a little bit in time.

The Tosaka family residence, which looks like a castle that has traveled through time from the Middle Ages, demonstrates the extraordinary status and profound heritage of its owner with its majestic momentum and exquisite architectural style.

Inside the mansion, a meeting room decorated in medieval style comes into view. Its arched roof is painted with exquisite sky blue patterns, as if cleverly integrating the blue sky and white clouds into the interior, making it appear both lofty and dreamy.

The floor under your feet is paved with carefully polished porcelain white marble, each piece is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the warm sunlight coming in from the window, interweaving with the soft light in the room to create a warm and solemn atmosphere.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room are very sophisticatedly designed. The huge glass window frames are inlaid with delicate carvings, which not only provide ample natural light for the interior, but also allow the outdoor scenery to appear and disappear. The gauze curtains sway gently in the breeze like dancing elves, adding a bit of agility and softness to this solemn space.

Although the interior decoration does not pursue the ultimate luxury, every detail reveals extraordinary taste and elegant style. From the paintings on the wall to the ornaments on the table, all of them demonstrate the profound historical heritage and prominent status of the Tosaka family.

Before Tohsaka Tokiomi died, the Tohsaka family was really rich.

The Tousaka family is not only a famous family in the world of magicians, but also one of the three indispensable families in the Holy Grail War. They control the management of the land veins of Fuyuki City. This power and status have ensured that the Tousaka family has never been troubled by money even in the world of magicians that seems incompatible with modern society.

After all, as a family that can use gems as materials for magic, they have many patents in the Clock Tower Magic Association. These patents not only symbolize their wisdom and strength, but also a symbol of wealth. At this moment, in this conference room full of historical atmosphere, the fifth-generation head of the Tousaka family, Tousaka Tokiomi, is presiding over an important meeting concerning the direction of the Holy Grail War with a calm and majestic attitude.

He invited all the Servant Masters except Caster to take advantage of the brief truce to discuss plans, intending to join forces to eliminate Caster, who acted recklessly and threatened everyone, and Luther, the powerful and unrivaled fictional Heroic Spirit.

Kotomine Kirei, Waver, Kenneth, and the convener, Tōsaka Tokiomi, the four Masters sat at the edge of the long conference table in turn. Their expressions were different, but all revealed tension and solemnity.

The servants were temporarily sent away, leaving only these four key figures in the meeting room. The atmosphere was particularly depressing and weird.

Kotomine Kirei did not attend as a Master, but as a disciple of Tōsaka Tokiomi.

This was to conceal his identity as Assassin's Master and prevent other Masters from noticing their alliance.

He sat quietly aside, looking indifferent, as if all worldly affairs had nothing to do with him.

Tōsaka Tokiomi spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, breaking the silence in the room: "The Tōsaka family is deeply honored that you are here. At this critical moment, we gather here to face the upcoming challenges together."

Kenneth frowned upon hearing this, with a hint of impatience and anger in his tone: "Okay, Master Tohsaka, there's no need to say anything extra, let's get straight to the point! We don't have much time to waste on small talk."

His eyes swept sharply across to Waver opposite him, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Kenneth's fiancée Sora developed an irresistible obsession with Lancer summoned by Waver. This feeling was so intense that she could hardly hide it, which made Kenneth feel angry and helpless.

In his opinion, all of this was Waver's fault. If Waver hadn't stolen his relic, he wouldn't have been forced to summon the backup Lancer, and Sora wouldn't have fallen in love with someone else.

Weber felt Kenneth's gaze that was almost piercing through him, and he subconsciously shrank his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Among the Masters, Waver's aura is undoubtedly the weakest. He is introverted, lacks self-confidence, and always hides behind others out of habit. Therefore, in such occasions, he appears particularly inconspicuous and has almost no sense of existence.

It is worth noting that there is an empty seat at the conference table, which belongs to Kiritsugu Emiya.

This astute strategist never puts himself in danger easily. He always manipulates everything behind the scenes, calculating every possible variable with his ruthless mind.

Therefore, he chose to be absent from a meeting that might expose him to danger. This was consistent with his usual practice and also a cautious consideration for his own safety.

Tōsaka Tokiomi ignored Kenneth's slightly impatient demeanor. He maintained a calm and elegant manner and spoke slowly: "All of you are the best in the magic world. You have gathered here to participate in this Holy Grail War for the same reason. You all want to use the Holy Grail to reach the supreme source."
