Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 626 Nowhere to Go

"Not including Esther? Then what does the bet you mentioned have to do with her?"

Klein retorted with little interest. He had anticipated Amon's conditions. He also knew that it would be surprising if such an "embodiment of fraud and mischief" did not set a trap in the so-called gambling game.

He would not easily agree to this matter. Amon should be very clear about it, so why did He bring it up again?

"Because I can't let Him wander around, that would bring too many accidents," Amon restrained the joking expression on his face and explained seriously, "He doesn't belong here, so it's easy for him to become a bigger threat to us. If you don't want me to restrain Him, you can just kill Him -"

As if to push Esther off the edge of a cliff, Amon patted her shoulder and said, "Then I will also be very grateful for your candidate. After all, for me, that is the easier way to deal with it."

Esther's expression froze. She pursed her lips and said nothing. It was beyond Amon's expectation that she could still keep her composure at this time.

Esther didn't look at anyone, but just stared at the flame in front of her. It was shaking continuously, making the shadows in the darkness even more distorted. It wouldn't be long before this makeshift bonfire would go out due to the loss of the support of the extraordinary power.

"I won't do that," Klein calmly stated his analysis, trying to keep the involvement in this matter at the level of rational thinking. "Since you can't handle the problems left by Zoya, then I may not be able to handle it either. What's more, it is a force more powerful than an angel. And I am just a Sequence 3 Beyonder, even worse than you. I know that's what you think."

In other words, Klein understood from the beginning that Amon looked down on him. If he hadn't had other concerns... Klein sighed in his heart. Perhaps he would have been unable to fight against Amon's parasitism long ago.

Amon smiled at the hidden edge in Klein's words. He did not have any special reaction to the mention of "Zoya". He just smiled and said, "Yes, I do think so."

Esther shook her head vigorously, driving away all the chaotic thoughts in her mind. She stood up suddenly from the stone: "I'm not praising you. There's no need to answer with such a proud tone."

Amon glanced at Esther from the corner of his eye: "No matter what he does, no matter how he tries to escape from me, you will help him, so I don't even consider your choice."

"Then I don't have to—"

Before Esther finished speaking, Amon looked at Klein on the other side and said, "Because His choice was wrong from the beginning. He wanted you to become the Lord of Mysteries, but this result was only to create an advantage for Them."

A certain spiritual intuition was triggered, and Klein's face showed a little more tension. This micro-expression that should have been controlled by the "Joker" ability was revealed amid the strange spiritual encouragement:
"I guess you saw something in the dreamland."

Amon tapped his monocle. His indifferent eyes seemed to penetrate Klein, tearing open the young man's face and looking at something behind him:

"Your spirituality is too accurate, Mr. Fortune Teller. Do you think this is normal?"

Klein was silent for a moment. He had not met many "fortune tellers" face to face. If he had to say, Mr. "Devil" might be one of them, but he had never shared any experience with others about the potion's ability of "fortune telling". As for Will Auceptin, the prediction method of the "monster" path was even more different...

Klein shook his head and turned to Esther thoughtfully. The lady who knew more about the inside story still pursed her lips, but a little head popped out from under her hand and looked back at Klein uneasily.

"Yes, it knows, and it has been very clear for a long time." Amon clapped his hands twice exaggeratedly as if praising a child, "From the beginning, these little things were all the eyes of a certain old time."

Klein had known this for a long time. Even if Amon had intended to point it out, he was not as good as Esther. She could no longer hold it in and stared at Amon with a warning: "Don't mention His name in the real world, not even you."

Amon glanced at her in surprise. The mockery in his eyes made Esther quite disgusted: "I thought you didn't care about my deal with this gentleman and planned to ignore us forever."

You are the only one being ignored! Esther said bitterly in her heart.

Then she took a deep breath and looked at Klein: "Whether you agree to His conditions or not, this is an opportunity..."

Yes, he couldn't miss this opportunity to escape. Even if Amon didn't keep his word, Klein knew he had to find a way to break this stalemate. Even though he could understand Esther's apparent anxiety, Klein didn't want the topic to be changed. The question in his heart was about to burst out.

He nodded briefly to Esther, then looked at Amon: "Since she has no objection, then I can agree to it--"

"Very good, you seem to have any additional conditions?" Amon interrupted Klein rudely with his usual smile on his face.

"What did you learn from the dream?"

"I just need to tell you, or..." Amon looked at Esther and raised his chin towards the little bird in her arms, "Do you want to share it with Him too?"

After a brief moment of hesitation, Klein made up his mind: "Of course Esther will listen too. This matter may also be related to 'her'."

Esther opened her eyes slightly, a mixture of surprise and worry, making her dull eyes brighten again: "You——"

After a pause of several seconds, Esther regained her composure and smiled from the bottom of her heart: "I don't know what else to say, Klein, thank you."

Amon stood aside and said nothing, but his smile became even bigger.

Esther looked at Amon firmly, feeling great courage: "Okay, then I agree to your proposal! You must tell me everything that happened at that time."

From beginning to end, Klein distracted some of his attention and observed the various changes in the Blasphemer. At this moment, the uneasiness that had been suppressed sprouted from his spiritual intuition.

When facing a "thief", don't look at his words or actions, but look at the final result of the matter -

Klein's scattered intuition quickly drew a straight line in his mind: "No, this is..."

Inside Amon's monocle, there was a strange light floating around, reflecting the smile deep in his black eyes: "Oh, yes, this is the result I want."

I'm back from my hometown, and I'm still very slow... Ahem, the world is just a huge burning winter... No, I mean, World of Warcraft is really fun...
