Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 207 Do you know what you gave up?

"Hello, just call me Will." Will waved his hand casually, his eyes fell on little Amon with a strange expression, then he turned his head to look at Luo Lin and said:
"Are you really planning to capture all the candidates for the Celestial Lord? Are you going to collect a little Zaratul and Antigonus next?"

Before Will came, he had never expected to see little Amon in this house. This was information he had not obtained before.

"Zaratul doesn't suit my aesthetic taste, but Antigonus is worth considering. I've wanted to have a big dog for a long time." Rowling replied with a smile.

"You sound like you're seriously talking about something horrible..." Will complained, his gaze immediately falling on Klein, this time with a hint of hesitation.

He looked at Klein, then tilted his head to look at Rowling, and suddenly asked, "You knew this a long time ago?"

"What do you know? Your destiny?" Luo Lin looked at Him with a smile. He then opened the blank book that Lucifer Vest carried with him, stopped at a certain page, and said:

"If you mean you were going to be an angel investor at Klein, yes, I knew that was my fate."

"You're too frank." Will choked. He looked at Klein, then at Rowling, and finally sighed dejectedly, "Forget it. I should have known I wasn't that lucky."

Luo Lin smiled when he heard this. He looked at Will and said, "You can still become Klein's angel investor, but I'm afraid he's not willing to take that path."

Rowling then looked at Klein and said, "Klein, take Will to pick a room and introduce him to this house."

"Ah? Okay, okay, Mr. Lucifer." Klein was stunned for a moment. Although he was puzzled, he nodded. He looked at Will and said hesitantly, "Mr. Will, please follow me?"

"...Then let's go. I want a room with sunshine. Is there one?" Will nodded without objection and followed Klein.

"I remember there's a room on the third floor facing the sun. Mr. Will, you might like it." Klein said with a nostalgic expression as he led the way.

"Then go and take a look. Besides, I told you to just call me Will." Will nodded and corrected Klein's way of addressing him.

"Okay, Will first... Will." Klein didn't think much about it. He smiled and nodded, changing his address.

The two then came to the empty room on the third floor facing the sun. After walking around the room, Will nodded with satisfaction and said, "I like this room."

"As long as you like it." Klein breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Everything in this room is new. However, if you're not used to it or if there's anything you'd like, you can tell Medici or Mr. Azik. They'll bring it back to you during their next shopping trip."

Will raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, tilted his head to look at Klein, and said, "Do they sound like the parents of this family?" "...Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, to me, they do indeed play a parent-like role." Klein didn't refute. After a moment of silence, he smiled a slightly embarrassed smile and said, "Mr. Azik often makes me feel like I'm facing my father, and Medici..."

Klein lowered his voice and said, "Although it's just a teasing name, I sometimes feel that Medici is like a male mother. However, I don't like this name very much, so it's best not to say it in front of him."

Klein didn't deny that, although he initially felt somewhat repulsed by Mr. Medici's attitude toward Jack, after spending some time together, he truly began to regard him as a friend and even an elder.

This place, which was originally just a temporary residence, has become more and more like a real home as time goes by and more members move in.

Of course, Klein will not forget his real parents and relatives, but this does not prevent him from developing new interpersonal relationships in this new era, which is also what his parents hope for.

"...Mingrui, don't let those of us who have passed away trap you. No matter what, you have to move on. Mom doesn't want you to be trapped in the sadness of the past your whole life. That would be too sad."

His mother's instructions seemed to ring in his ears again, causing Klein to lose consciousness for a moment. Then he came to his senses, looked at Will, and said, "Mr. Lucifer asked me to introduce you to the other people. Will, is there anything you want to know?"

Will didn't speak immediately after hearing this. He simply jumped onto a chair and stared down at Klein for a moment. Suddenly, he asked, "Do you know your original destiny?"

Klein's smile froze, then he nodded and said, "I know. Mr. Lucifer told me."

"So why did you give up? Do you know what that means?" Will showed a puzzled expression. As the Mercury Snake, he could originally glimpse a corner of fate, and he obtained enough information from Rowling, which was naturally enough for him to guess who the original Lord of Mystery was.

"I know." Klein nodded calmly and said, "That means supreme power. It means I will become the most powerful being in this world. It also means I will take on the responsibility of saving the world."

"But you still gave up..." Will said this with some confusion and a bit of depression, "No normal person would give up such a good thing, right? Look at Mr. Men, then look at Amon, even little Zaratul is eager for that position. How could you give up so easily?"

"Strictly speaking, I haven't given up. If the world still needs me to take on the responsibility of saving it one day in the future, I will still stand up. In fact, I'm preparing for it now." Klein shook his head. He looked at Will and retorted, "As for that power, that strength..."

Klein suddenly laughed, a smile filled with genuine ease and satisfaction. He said, "What does that have to do with me? I've never longed for these things. For me, being able to live like this is good enough. I don't deny that I still have regrets in my life. If becoming a Heavenly Venerable could make up for these regrets, I would pursue it without hesitation. Unfortunately, it can't do that."

"Then becoming a Celestial Lord means nothing more to me than saving the world." Having said this, Klein smiled sheepishly and said:

"If it really has to be me, then I will certainly do my best to do it. But the truth is, Mr. Bethel is a better choice besides me. He is willing to take on the responsibility of saving the world, and he also desires that power and authority. So why should I compete with Mr. Bethel?"
