Chapter 536: Chapter 377: The Fall of the Black Knight (Two-in-One)_3
Chen Lun listened to Mr. Bales’s calm words, feeling a chill in his hands and feet, as his heart sank.
His ominous premonition had finally co true…
He opened his mouth, about to say sothing, but Mr. Bales cut him off.
“Let finish…”
He said gravely.
“Originally, I had not realized it, but as I am now a step away from true death after ferrying my own soul… Utilizing high-ranking authority, I sensed my destiny, which seems to bear traces of tampering… Jack, as a Transcendent of the Path of Destiny, you must be careful in the future!”
Chen Lun was violently shaken.
He imdiately disregarded the possibility of backlash and used Peek Life on Mr. Bales—
Boom!!
Chen Lun’s head was struck violently, throwing it backward, as blood flowed from his eyes.
But amidst the haze, he also saw Mr. Bales’s trajectory of destiny… Indeed, as He had said, there were traces of soone having ddled with it.
Chen Lun endured the pain and fully activated Multitasking, pondering over past clues.
He then voiced several key questions to Mr. Bales, who answered them calmly. In the end, Chen Lun confird one thing—
‘Howard… It was all His doing!’
He couldn’t help but clench his fists.
That ti when he first t Howard was when he had helped Mr. Bales resist an ambush… And Talelang, the surviving captain of the Executioner squad… he was very likely Howard’s pawn, who, at the critical mont of Mr. Bales’s revenge, had attached a curse to Mr. Bales at the cost of his own life.
Under normal circumstances, this curse wouldn’t have had much of an impact.
But it just happened to be during Mr. Bales’s revenge against Terence…
It beca the last straw that broke the cal’s back!
Not until Lafa made his move, forcing Mr. Bales into a desperate situation and ferrying his own self to barely cling to life… Chen Lun even suspected that His escape from Lafa’s encirclent, to see him in the last monts of his life countdown, was also deliberately orchestrated by Howard.
The chill in Chen Lun’s heart deepened, even colder than this winter frost.
He felt what destiny was…
What it ant to be manipulated by others!
“Heh…”
Chen Lun laughed bitterly.
The suppressed indignance and gloom within him, along with endless Wrath, beca intertwined.
There was an accusation of his own weakness, the hatred towards Lafa, Howard, and even Terence, and also a cry to Destiny.
“Jack…”
Mr. Bales suddenly spoke, revealing a smile.
“I can feel your anger, and I am glad… After all, following Youlan’s death, when I was ostracized for trying to reclaim her legacy until I t you and recognized Floey as my own. But you needn’t grieve for , nor seek vengeance on my behalf… I only hope that you will take good care of Floey, ensuring that the Wolf Clan can continue to exist in this world…”
Chen Lun, without a word and in a somber mood, reached out his hand and triggered the Life Force of his bookmark, channeling it forward. A faint green light flickered but found no target.
It was as if Mr. Bales before him was just an illusion.
“I am actually already dead… I am just in a special state now, so you needn’t waste your energy.”
Mr. Bales’s gaze was serene as he spoke slowly.
“I want to pass onto you the words that Youlan once gave to , Jack… ‘Keep things in your heart, and they shall live on with you; if you forget them, then they will die forever.'”
His malford claw gently rested on Chen Lun’s shoulder as if to encourage.
“So after I die, please make good use of my belongings… And if possible, take the letters hidden in the Spirit World Cetery as my remains, and bury with Youlan.”
Chen Lun didn’t even get to say goodbye to Mr. Bales.
The giant black bird before him exploded with a ‘bang’, dissipating into nothingness.
But from mid-air, Mr. Bales’s wistful words drifted down—
“Love is the most expensive anchor; it cannot defeat Death, but it can anchor souls. It allows departed souls not to wander, and the living souls to find their way ho… I’ve been waiting, Youlan.”
