Of course, with Commodus present, it would not turn out too bad. Even if Altrus were to reclaim his identity right now, no one would believe him. Just like everyone present thought, once Altrus’ stand-in came forward, in addition to Commodus’ endorsement, he would become the real Altrus. Moreover, if Zhang Heng was right, if Altrus were to die, he could not be brought back to life again.īut using a substitute would also complicate things.
It was simply not a question if the person standing next to Commodus would be him. But when Altrus’ stand-in really did show up, Zhang Hend had a strange feeling that there was some part of Altrus’ plans that he had yet discerned.ĭue to his condition, Altrus could not appear before the people. Zhang Heng, on the other hand, conjectured that Altrus would most likely use a stand-in. Soon, all these people behind him would become Altrus’ followers.Īnd it was because of this that Clint feared that Altrus would come forward.īut it would appear that there was nothing he could do to prevent this from happening. In a sense, Clint was a representation of Commodus’ will.īut starting from today, it would no longer be that way since there was someone who better embodied Commodus’ will, where all power and authority would forever have a center. So, the closer they were to Clint, the closer they would be to the center of power. He knew that if Altrus revealed his face, it would basically mean that he had already lost this battle.Įven though the majority was on his side, Clint knew it was only because Altrus never showed his face. Even if he was a fake, it was true that he would become the second most powerful person next to Commodus from now on.Ĭlint looked at the figure with an inexplicable expression on his face, fists clenched. Whoever showed up and stood next to Commodus would naturally become Altrus-the Altrus everyone recognized. If he were Altrus, he would be there in person no matter what. In life, there were always moments, such as the crowning ceremony of a prince or on a newlyweds’ wedding night, where there was just no way anyone would let someone else take their place.
