Strongest Demigod System-Chapter 71: Stark Differences

Maddison scrunched her face in thought for a moment, and Azrael waited patiently as she tried to remember if she had heard anything about the location before.

Finally, after a few seconds, Maddison's eyes went wide in realization.

"Yeah, it's in a mansion in the Emerald Estate. It belongs to a man named Harold Sabastine, I think. My brother took me there once for a party, but I didn't really enjoy it."

Harold Sabastine?

Azrael felt the mild hope that had risen in his heart dying out slowly, but he held onto the hope and started to type on his phone. Azrael had been searching since yesterday, trying to find anything on Harold Javier, and there had been nothing but dead end after dead end.

What were the chances that the reason he couldn't find anything about Harold Javier was because the boy had changed his name?

It was a stretch. A very long stretch.

But was it not better to put some faith in this mild possibility than to continue running into dead ends?

Azrael typed in the name Harold Sabastine in the browser, and he was surprised to see hundreds of articles pop up.

Harold Sabastine was a wealthy entrepreneur who made his fortune buying and selling expensive artifacts retrieved from the Null Zone. He was worth over three hundred million dollars and had a large mansion in Emerald Estate where he lived.

"What are you doing?"

Maddison spoke up curiously while peering at Azrael's serious face in confusion. Azrael raised his hand and told her not to distract him.

"Give me a second."

Azrael migrated toward another article. This one was talking about Harold Sabastine's status as a demigod.

Harold was one of the demigods who decided not to attend Divine Academy and instead went into the artifact business.

This was nothing new to Azrael.

There were many demigods who didn't go to Divine Academy because they believed that the God Aspect they received was not going to be very useful in combat against the daemons.

These demigods usually received blessings from non-combat gods like Freya or Hestia, and they were known to go into other professions like the police and the artifact business.

Azrael never bothered to give these demigods a second thought.

Even when he didn't have a God Aspect, Azrael always knew that he wanted to be a Divine Enforcer. It was the only way for him to gain true strength, and he refused to be weak.

The artifact business was one of the many professions that demigods sometimes migrated into.

Since artifacts were all so rare and held a lot of value, there were always people willing to fork out millions at a time just to purchase any artifact brought from the Null Zone.

Acting as the middleman between the demigods who brought the artifacts from the Null Zone and the collectors who wanted to buy them would bring the demigods a lot of money.

Harold Sabastine was one of those demigods.

According to the Wikipedia page, he had a God Aspect that allowed him to tell the value of any artifact from only a glance.

Azrael frowned at this bit of information.

Wasn't this too coincidental?

Harold Javier had the ability to tell what God Aspect a demigod had from only a glance, while Harold Sabastine had the ability to tell the value of an artifact at a glance.

At first, it didn't seem like there would be any relation between these two God Aspects, but when Azrael read further and saw that Harold Sabastine had also gotten his God Aspect from Apollo, his suspicion only grew.

Was there some sort of relation between the two men?

Did Harold Javier change his name at some point in his life?

But if that happened, wouldn't there have been news articles talking about it?

People don't just change their names without anyone knowing about it. According to the article Azrael was reading now, Harold Sabastine lost both parents to a car accident when he was only three years old.

There was no mention of their names or what they had been like before they died.

Azrael decided he was going to trust his gut in this situation.

Somehow, Harold Sabastine was related to Harold Javier.

Azrael had to find out more.

"Azrael, what's wrong? You've been frowning for a while now."

Maddison spoke up again when she saw that Azrael was only getting more absentminded.

She had been watching Azrael all this time, and she couldn't help but be worried about him.

Maddison knew that Azrael was not the sort of person you should worry about, but ever since yesterday, she felt like there was something wrong with him.

There was an aura of intensity around Azrael now, like a physical wall that prevented anyone from getting too close to him.

The way Azrael flinched when she touched his shoulder the previous day was still very fresh in Maddison's mind, and she wondered if he was getting enough sleep after the things he had done.

Azrael spoke up.

"I've been trying to find something. What do you know about this Harold Sabastine?"

Of all the things Maddison expected Azrael to say, this was the last thing she was expecting.

Why was Azrael suddenly asking about a millionaire?

Maddison knew Harold Sabastine very well.

In fact, every wealthy businessman somehow related to the world of Celestials knew who Harold Sabastine was.

Harold Sabastine was a young former Auror who created one of the most successful artifact exchange businesses in the city after leaving the Auric Traders.

He began his business by buying and selling small artifacts that were seen as trash by most demigods. After a while, he gained the trust of reputable demigods who began to give him the artifacts they brought back from the Null Zone for him to help them sell.

This was only made more impressive by the fact that he was an orphan, so there was no one who helped him get to the stage he was currently at.

Sabastine managed to get to the top of that world all on his own.

He had been mingling with the members of high society for a long time. The children of the rich and powerful all saw him as a brother figure. He was playful and very willing to help out if they ever needed him.

That was the reason why Sunny decided to hold his party in Sabastine's house. It was a way to show the other members of the upper class that Sunny and Sabastine were very close friends, and it would also help Sabastine to form more connections with other powerful families that could be interested in his business.

Maddison explained all these things to Azrael rather easily.

As someone who was also from one of the more powerful families in the city, Maddison had been learning about the politics of friendship and partnerships from a young age.

Maddison's family didn't like the fact that she was a child of Hades, and they would never be able to fully accept her, but that didn't mean they were going to leave her uneducated. They taught her enough so that she wouldn't bring them any shame if she ran into another member of the upper class outside.

Azrael nodded in understanding as he began to piece together a picture of Harold Sabastine.
