Chapter 64: Finalizing the Plan

Chapter Sixty-FourFinalizing the Plan

“Rafter Pound’s future.”

Holding the baronet’s hair, Klein closed his eyes and, with the help of meditation, entered sleep.

Inside the gray, hazy world, he saw a narrow and irregular opening. Rafter Pound, with swollen eye bags and graying temples, crawled forward like a reptile, propping himself up on his elbows as he emerged.

Immediately afterward, the scene flashed. From somewhere unknown, he picked up a black-iron badge and pinned it to his chest.

Carved upon that badge was a scepter, and a hand tightly gripping that scepter!

“Tudor!”

Klein abruptly woke from the dream and sat upright.

According to Miss Bodyguard’s introduction, what was carved on that black-iron badge was the imperial emblem of the Fourth Epoch Tudor Empire!

It was exactly the same as what he had seen inside that ancient building!

“Rafter Pound is definitely not as simple as he appeared…”

Klein rubbed his forehead and muttered in a low voice.

As a Diviner, he had his own interpretation of the revelation he had seen in the dream. On one hand, he knew it was an action Rafter Pound would perform in the future. On the other, he believed this showed that Rafter Pound himself had a very deep connection with the Tudor family.

After the threefold test of direct questioning, dream invasion, and spirit-channeling communication, Rafter Pound did not expose any problem, nor did he let me detect the slightest abnormality. If I had not kept one more trick in reserve, he might truly have deceived me… Hm… Perhaps, perhaps he really knows nothing right now, and what he displayed just now was natural. Only in the future will he coincidentally encounter an opportunity and form a connection with the Tudor family…

But the greater possibility is that he already learned quite a bit from the old viscount, and before he has any certainty, he has deliberately fallen, feigned madness, and played the fool. As for being able to fool my dream invasion and spirit channeling, that should be the effect of some Beyonder ability… Uh… He probably was not acting at that time, but truly had fallen into a muddled state. Otherwise, he would have long ago revealed a flaw before me, someone highly experienced in such matters…

What Beyonder ability could it be?

What Sequence is he?

Or is he the type born with certain Beyonder abilities?

Klein followed that line of thought for some time and felt he had entered a dead end. He hurriedly pulled himself out and changed his angle, silently murmuring:

“Rafter Pound has a very deep connection with the Tudor family…

“Can I make a bold hypothesis: that he is actually a descendant of the Tudor family?

“If his blood relationship with the old viscount is real, then matters become interesting.

“The entire Pound family may be one branch of the Tudor family that changed names and surnames to escape pursuit.

“They established military merit, obtained a title, and step by step returned to the center of power. At the same time, in secret, they searched for the hidden ruins the Tudor Empire had left behind in Backlund.

“After no one knows how many years, they finally gained something. They bought the house that currently belongs to Miller Carter and built an exaggerated basement in order to explore the surrounding region.

“Thirty or forty years ago, they found the ruins and built a hidden door leading there.

“However, during the exploration of the ruins, an accident occurred. That evil spirit did not acknowledge these so-called Tudor family descendants at all. The old viscount’s two heirs died one after another in the innermost room, and not even their Beyonder characteristics or mystical items could be retrieved.

“Although the old viscount spent an enormous price buying similar Beyonder characteristics, making the two heirs’ deaths appear relatively normal, successive sudden deaths still seemed suspicious in the eyes of the royal family and the Churches. Therefore, after the old viscount died, Rafter…
