Episode 4 of “The Most Notorious ‘Talker’ Runs the World’s Greatest Clan”Unveils Dark Secrets

In the latest installment, titled ‘An Apology Won’t Cut It’, viewers follow Noel Stollen and Alma Judikhali as they embark on their inaugural mission as the revived Blue Beyond. Upon arriving at their destination, the village chief briefs them on the task and immediately pays a generous advance fee without any dispute.

This episode successfully illustrates the challenging existence of a Seeker. While it may appear that completing missions and reaping rewards is straightforward, the reality is far more complicated. The anime also sheds light on how the life of an assassin wreaks havoc on countless lives.

In this episode, the village chief’s daughter, Chelsea, admires Noel. However, after completing their mission, the chief attempts to poison them with a bottle of expensive wine. Luckily, both Noel and Alma had sensed betrayal from the onset.

Despite the village being impoverished, the chief did not negotiate on the advance payment. Moreover, the intel provided to them was misleading, indicating fewer targets than reality. It was also suspicious for a financially strained leader to offer them a lavish bottle of wine valued at a fifth of their total fee.

Consequently, Noel employed his “Confess” ability to extract the truth from the chief. Following this revelation, he retaliated by damaging one of the chief’s eyes, warning him that he would render him fully blind if he didn’t relinquish all his money. The chief resisted due to his debts to the Gambino family, prompting Chelsea to step in and offer her savings to rescue her father. This act left Chelsea harboring resentment towards Noel and all Seekers.

Previously, the anime hinted at Alma being the granddaughter of Alcor Judikhali. However, new details reveal that she is actually the daughter of the late assassin. Although he fathered multiple children, Alcor perceived them more as tools than family. After his defeat by Overdeath, he forced his children into brutal training, pitting them against one another to forge a successor who could fill his shoes.

After 21 years entrenched in harsh assassin training, Alma ultimately killed her father, Alcor, and attempted to enter the Society of Assassins. However, the newly appointed leader deemed her unsuitable and instructed her to investigate Noel, Overdeath’s grandson, to assess her interest.

Reflecting on her troubled history, Alma embraced Noel, vowing loyalty to his endeavors in establishing Blue Beyond as part of the illustrious regalia.
