End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues Chapter 164: The Person in the Mirror
Although Kean believed he could not afford to lose any more allies, after acquiring sufficiently formidable power, he still wanted to ascertain the true identities of those collaborating with him.
"I am about to embark on the instance ntioned by the great deity. However, before I leave, I hope you can reveal your true identity to . Only in this way can our forthcoming cooperation be truly seamless."
If I remain unaware of your true identity and your genuine intentions, how can I place my full trust in you during our subsequent collaboration?"
Kean"s tone had now beco markedly calr than it was before.
Having acquired sufficiently formidable power, Kean no longer needed to be as anxious as he had been previously.
Faced with Kean"s question, the voice from within the mirror did not imdiately provide an answer.
After a prolonged silence, the voice from the mirror slowly remarked, "You may refer to as "the person in the mirror." The reason I am offering you assistance is that I hope you can enable to gain a greater ability to interfere with the real world."
The response from the person in the mirror inadvertently provided Kean with a wealth of information.
From the other party"s answer, Kean could deduce that they currently lacked the capacity to significantly interfere with the real world.
Moreover, the na "the person in the mirror" seed more like a codena.
This also implied that "the person in the mirror" could very well represent an organization rather than just the individual conversing with him.
"How can I enable you to gain a greater ability to interfere with the real world? You are providing with assistance now, yet you seem to demand nothing in return."
Kean did not directly press whether "the person in the mirror" was an individual or an organization.
He understood that this question was likely the most closely guarded secret of the other party. Therefore, Kean decided to start with other pertinent inquiries.
Upon hearing Kean"s question, the voice from the mirror sighed softly. "Since you"ve already utilized the ritual I provided, a portion of all the power you gain henceforth will be allocated to ."
Upon hearing this response, Kean"s expression suddenly turned exceedingly grim.
Kean raised his weapon and pointed it at the floor-to-ceiling mirror before him. "How dare you! If a portion of my acquired power is diverted to you, doesn"t that an my progression speed will be significantly slower than before?!"
At this mont, Kean was overwhelmingly furious.
He had not anticipated that collaborating with "the person in the mirror" would co at such a steep cost.
If his level-up speed beca too slow, Jeremy might very well have a significant advantage over him in terms of levels at the mont of their final showdown.
The voice in the mirror also sensed Kean"s anger.
It hurriedly explained, "While I will indeed receive a portion of the experience points you gain, I can assure you that the amount I take is minimal. It will not hinder your leveling speed."
"Moreover, if the power you acquire cos from an exceedingly strong entity, I will be unable to transfer that power to myself."
After listening to the explanation, Kean felt his rage subside sowhat internally.
However, Kean maintained the sa expression on his face. He feigned an appearance of extre anger and shouted at the other party.
"How do I know you"re not deceiving right now?! If you wish to continue collaborating with , you must show greater sincerity."
Kean"s intent behind these words was to compel the other party to provide him with more assistance.
Whether it was assistance in terms of intelligence or help with items and equipnt, Kean was willing to accept it.
What Kean could not tolerate was the other party hiding in the shadows, seeking to enjoy the final victory without paying any price whatsoever.
The voice in the mirror seed to grasp Kean"s thoughts.
In the center of the massive floor-to-ceiling mirror, a vortex began to form, slowly transmitting a broken pocket watch through it.
"This broken pocket watch serves as proof of the sincerity of "the person in the mirror."
This pocket watch was once a very powerful piece of equipnt owned by Jeremy. Although it is damaged, you can still use it to gain an advantage in your battle against Jeremy."
Kean picked up the broken pocket watch and examined it carefully. He imdiately recognized it as the Hourglass of Ti.
"Isn"t this the divine artifact that Jeremy obtained? How did it get damaged? Where did you acquire this divine artifact?"
Kean fired off a series of questions in quick succession.
However, the other party offered no answers. They rely responded indifferently, "Now, can you trust my sincerity? If so, then proceed with your actions quickly."
Kean scrutinized the broken Hourglass of Ti closely.
"I can trust your sincerity now, but you must still agree to one final condition of mine."
The voice in the mirror provided no response.
Kean continued speaking to himself, "Since you can obtain a divine artifact that Jeremy once possessed, it ans you can absolutely provide assistance in my battle against Jeremy."
"The final condition I need you to agree to is this: If I truly face Jeremy in a showdown, you must provide with ample assistance."
"No problem at all."
The voice in the mirror responded without any hesitation this ti, agreeing imdiately after Kean stated his final condition.
"I have accepted your terms. Now, all you need to do is swiftly carry out the task assigned to you by the great entity that bestowed power upon you."
After saying the last sentence, the person in the mirror vanished.
The surface of the enormous mirror in front of Kean returned to normal. powered by |empyr
Kean carefully put away the broken Hourglass of Ti. Then, he imdiately called his butler, Farr.
"Master, did you call because you want to bring you sothing?" Farr answered the phone quickly.
At that mont, Farr assud that Kean was calling to request items to be sent to the confinent room where he was currently located. Therefore, Farr wasn"t overly concerned.
"I lack nothing here. The purpose of my call is to have you co over imdiately, I need to leave the confinent room as soon as possible."
Kean"s words left Farr utterly stunned.
For a mont, Farr even forgot to breathe.
After a while, Farr finally regained his composure. In a tone filled with astonishnt, he asked, "Master, you can"t be serious, can you? You"ve only been in confinent for less than a week. According to your grandfather"s orders, the head of the Lannister family, you should be confined for at least two weeks. How can you leave now?"
Kean was fully aware that Farr"s words made perfect sense.
However, once Kean had made up his mind, he wouldn"t be easily swayed by anyone.
"Stop wasting ti. I am well aware of my grandfather"s words. The reason I need to get out imdiately is, of course, for the future of our entire Lannister family."
"As my butler, it is imperative that you follow my orders. I am well aware that you possess the keys to the confinent room. If you dare to co here, I can leave this place imdiately. Should you fail to co, I will ensure you understand the true aning of suffering."
Kean did not hesitate to begin threatening Farr.
Farr found himself in a dire dilemma.
If he dared to release Kean directly, the consequences for him would undoubtedly be dire.
Conversely, if he did not release Kean, he would still face severe repercussions. After all, as Kean"s butler, failing to maintain a good relationship with him could be tantamount to committing social suicide.
As Farr hesitated, Kean"s mood grew increasingly foul.
"What are you still deliberating about? If your indecisiveness delays my actions and ultimately causes my plans to fail, you will not be able to bear the consequences."
Kean threatened Farr once again.
However, this ti Kean"s threat had no effect, instead, it backfired.
Farr had cald down by now.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided not to release Kean.
"Master, as your butler, I must offer you so advice. Even if your actions are urgent and crucial for the Lannister family.
You should still obtain the head"s permission before leaving the confinent room. It is absolutely impossible for to release you directly as you are asking."
If you believe that my actions show you disrespect, then you can simply relieve of my duties as your butler. However, regardless of the outco, I will stand firm in my judgnt: you must remain in the confinent room for the full duration of the two weeks."
After delivering these words, Farr promptly ended the call.
Though Farr"s tone over the phone was confident and composed, the trembling of his hands after hanging up revealed the imnse pressure he had felt while speaking.
Kean had never imagined that his butler would dare to hang up on him.
In a fit of rage, Kean hurled his phone to the ground.
"What a damned fool!"
Kean cursed Farr aloud, but at this mont, there was nothing else he could do but vent his anger.
Moreover, Kean couldn"t count on any assistance from the person in the mirror.
Although the person in the mirror had previously aided Kean, bestowing upon him the powers of a deity, there was no way they could help Kean escape from the Lannisters" confinent room.
After all, the person in the mirror lacked sufficient influence over the real world.
