If that’s the case now I really want to know what Raphael looks like even more. Because I always picture him younger, but if we have stuff like this in mind and all the other stuff he’s done he has to at least be middle aged. I hope we don’t have to wait 100+ chapters to find out what he looks like at least.
I could be completely wrong it's just a theory I formed because he said to call in the devil again. So that lead me to believe that might've had some dealings with each other before and then for the devil to disappear and only come back when Raphael request him seem odd and had my gears turning. I was thinking maybe Thaddeus is around the age of the blind woman. Either 28-29 maybe early 30s. Because everyone else is technically teenagers including Thaddeus unless I'm wrong about that.
So basically Raphael planted this so called devil there to sell the land. Came across Thaddeus recognized his talent and is now using it for his benefit by pretending he can save the town with his connections although he is the mastermind behind the whole sale. That's what I got.
