Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

He temporarily put those things behind him and took his first steps forward.

Chapter 176: How about we call him "Prince" as the codename for the executive officer? (4k)

After Pantalone made a promise with Sora regarding his conversation with "The Clown," and after he promised to give Sora enough time to consider, a period of calm followed.

Although Kong has not yet made a decision, Pantalone is still receiving updates on the situation regarding Kong from his subordinates.

Pantalone learned from the intelligence reports from his subordinates that Sora had been considering things for a long time and was hesitating about whether to accept his invitation to join the Fools.

Pantalone saw through everything in this series of actions and understood what the other party was really thinking.

In fact, through this series of actions, it is already clear that the other party has already developed thoughts and ideas on this matter.

When faced with Pantalone's offer of clues about blood relations, he didn't need to think too much about the outcome; he already knew how the other party would respond.

However, he was not yet used to this world, which was far too unfamiliar to him.

This prevented him from giving his answer immediately. He had already prepared himself mentally, but there was still a line he hadn't crossed that was holding him back.

This is why the other party did not respond immediately. After seeing all these reports about Sora's current situation, Pantalone knew that Sora, whose mind was filled with countless thoughts, was in a difficult situation.

All you need to do is give them that final push, and that will be enough to make them make up their minds.

Setting aside those unnecessary concerns, he made his own choice. So, after a considerable period of time following that conversation, he visited the accomplice he had invited to join him in the Fools' Entanglement.

Guided by the servants of the Fools, he pushed open the door to the reception room and saw the figure of a boy with golden braids.

He was originally in the room when he stepped into the reception room.

The strange little floating object that had been hovering around him suddenly showed fear and apprehension upon seeing Pantalone, and instantly hid behind him, afraid of exposing itself to Pantalone's sight.

That wondrous, flying white object was the very gift Pantarone had given to the travelers invited to the Fools as a greeting.

It was clear that the strange little white, floating creature seemed to have a deep psychological trauma related to Pantaroni, so much so that it was so frightened by the sight of Pantaroni that it hid behind the traveler the moment it saw her.

They didn't even dare to utter a single word, their eyes filled with fear and dread of Pantalone.

It's unclear what terrifying thing it must have encountered to cause this strange little creature to behave this way upon seeing Pantalone, making it seem quite pitiful.

Just like this poor, white, flying, wondrous little floating object in front of me, it seems as harmless as it appears, posing no threat whatsoever.

Upon seeing Pantalone's arrival, Sora noticed that the small floating object beside her immediately hid in fright after seeing Pantalone's figure.

This puzzled Kong, who wondered why the little creature was so afraid.

Regarding Pantalone's initial encounter with this small creature, and his subsequent interactions with it...

After learning more, I also learned from Pantalone's men that this little creature was brought back by the Fools when they found him.

However, for some reason, this little creature did not have its own memory, as if it had lost its memory. He could only assume that the little creature was just shy.

Gazing at the strange little floating object that was too timid to even show its head, Pantalone only took a deep look at the strange little creature in front of him before turning his gaze to the main guest of this visit and chuckled softly.

"Long time no see. It seems you and the little pet I gave you are getting along very well. How have you been doing with the Fools lately?"

"Thanks to your guidance, I have gained a certain understanding of this world."

Upon seeing Pantalone's arrival, he turned his attention back to Pantalone.

They responded politely to Pantalone's arrival, exchanging greetings with each other.

After receiving the greeting, Pantalone nodded slightly. After exchanging pleasantries, he looked at the empty figure and spoke to him.

"Actually, I came here to ask you about the invitation I made to you last time—my intention to invite you to join us fools' conspiracy. What have you thought about it?"

Pantalone's straightforward words made him fall into deep thought about the invitation Pantalone had extended.

During this period, he had been thinking about this matter, and he actually had an answer in his heart, but he was still considering it during this time.

There were always some concerns in my mind, which is why I didn't make a complete decision.

Pantalone, who had extended the invitation to him, had never fully integrated into this world. The reason he hadn't considered all of this was simply because he didn't want to get too entangled with this world.

This was also his initial thought: he just wanted to find his sister as soon as possible and then go back to where they belonged together.

During the time Pantalone invited him to the Fools, he couldn't help but have some thoughts and subtle changes in his mind.

It wasn't until Pantalone's return visit that he realized his initial idea was impossible from the very beginning.

The idea of ​​avoiding entanglement with the world is merely wishful thinking on his part.

If he were to find his sister, he would inevitably become entangled with the world, unless he intended to remain alone and not have any connection with anyone, and only wanted to find his blood relative.

But the situation he's facing now is undoubtedly telling him something.

To find clues about his blood relatives, he would inevitably have to get entangled with the world itself. More importantly, he needed the power of the Fatui and their intelligence.

This led him to make his decision after much deliberation.

After taking a deep breath, Kong looked at Pantalone's figure and answered.

"Regarding your invitation to join the Fatui, I have thought about it for a long time afterward, and even I have to admit that I do need the Fatui's help."

"As long as you keep your promise to me from the beginning, that you will help me regain my power and find my sister if I join the Fatui, then I have no objection to this invitation itself."

This was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but a decision Kong made after much deliberation.
