Chapter 150: Wrapping Up

In the silence that seemed to have frozen solid, Amyrius swiftly regained control of his expression. Heavy with authority, his voice low and deep, he said, “Tell me exactly what happened.”

Klein did not conceal much. He began with Auston Leavitt’s question, then mentioned the mysterious person who had warned him in the dream not to resist the tide of the era or the choice of history. After that, he briefly spoke of the sudden telegram, then roughly described Cynthia’s mutation, the situation at the scene, the secretary’s arrogance, his own response, and the subsequent investigation.

The only things he hid were the fact that February 4th was his first day on Olavi Island and the corresponding suspicions.

Of course, he also spoke very vaguely about the actual battle. He trusted Admiral Amyrius would understand. After all, what a Beyonder specialized in and which unique abilities they possessed were among their greatest secrets. If those secrets were leaked and understood by others, the other party could prepare targeted countermeasures, and the Beyonder might even die at the hands of someone of a lower Sequence.

Below the high Sequences, many Beyonders could be very powerful, but also very fragile.

Amyrius listened quietly until the end. In the dim room, no change could be seen on his face, but the fact that he neither interrupted nor asked questions already revealed certain things.

After several seconds of silence, he spoke in a grave tone.

“The mysterious person who invaded your dream emphasized the destiny of the era and its tide?”

“Yes.” Klein had already returned to Gehrman Sparrow’s face, and he did not deliberately explain that the mysterious person had not mentioned the specific plot involving Auston Leavitt.

Amyrius fell silent again for a moment before saying, “You maintained my appearance in the dream?”

“Yes. That is my secret.” Klein answered succinctly.

Amyrius gave a nearly imperceptible nod, pacing silently within a small area before looking once more at Gehrman Sparrow.

“There was nothing wrong with your choice.”

Hearing those words, Klein felt as though he had received the most final and effective kind of feedback. The potion inside his body seemed to digest considerably in response.

As his low voice echoed, Amyrius turned sideways and looked out the window, saying without emotion, “I originally did not intend to sign a contract with the substitute. Instead, I planned to tell Cynthia that I had signs of losing control and would be unable to approach her intimately for five days. But later, certain reasons made me change my mind.”

If not for the temporary contract’s compulsory restrictions, even if I could have endured the ordinary temptation, I wouldn’t have been able to withstand the magnified desire last night…

Of course, if Cynthia had known in advance about the five-day restriction, she wouldn’t have been so anxious to consume powder ground from the Necklace of Reproduction, and she wouldn’t have sensed the Mother Tree of Desire and mutated… But in that case, the initiative would have remained with the Naturist Sect. They could have found some other excuse to make Cynthia consume it…

This matter really was aimed at me… What exactly does the Mother Tree of Desire want to do? And what reason made Admiral Amyrius make such a crucial change? Klein faintly grasped something important. Looking at Amyrius’s profile, he asked, “What reason?”

Without the slightest expression, Amyrius answered, “You do not need to know.”

…For the first time, Klein hated that kind of response so much.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the cracked pendant and tossed it to Amyrius.

“This is the Necklace of Reproduction that originated from the Mother Tree of Desire.”

Amyrius raised his hand, caught it, lowered his head to glance at it, and said, “You may leave.

“Go to Bilt and receive your payment.”

You’re not worried I might know something I shouldn’t? That’s true. Auston and the…
