End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

The Son of the Sun and Kean discussed many things.

Although Kean's relationship with The Son of the Sun wasn't particularly good, he had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation with him.

The two were merely engaged in a subtle power struggle behind the scenes.

After returning to his villa in the capital city, Kean immediately dismissed all the servants.

"My room should be ready by now, right? I need to rest. You all can leave now!" Kean coldly said to the servants.

The servants promptly left Kean's bedroom.

Once all the servants had departed, Kean sealed off his bedroom completely.

Kean was very aware that his butler had been spying on him.

Moreover, the butler was working under the direct influence of Kean's uncle.

At this point, Kean couldn't afford to openly clash with his uncle, so he chose not to expose his butler's role as a spy.

He sealed off his bedroom to prevent his upcoming actions from being observed by the butler.

After securing the bedroom, Kean took out a crystal that emitted a red glow.

He casually tossed the crystal into the center of the room.

As the crystal touched the ground, an illusory projection materialized.

This projection was, in fact, one of Kean's subordinates.

"How are things going? How much intelligence have you gathered?"

Kean lazily asked as he sat down on the sofa.

"I've gathered a lot of information regarding special situations in Moonlight City, but I haven't been able to collect much on Jeremy."

Kean's subordinate responded slowly.

Upon hearing this, Kean's expression shifted slightly to one of disappointment.

"I gave you so many resources, so much time. And yet, you still haven't gathered enough intelligence on Jeremy? Are you really this incompetent?"

Faced with Kean's reproach, the subordinate could only respond helplessly.

"You are right, I am indeed somewhat incompetent. But besides my own shortcomings, there are other reasons why I couldn't gather enough information."

The main reason is that Jeremy has a very close relationship with Liam, the head of the Special Situation Handling Bureau. Liam has caused me a lot of trouble. If it weren't for his interference, I would have definitely been able to gather enough intelligence."

Facing his subordinate's explanation, Kean didn't say much.

"How much intelligence have you gathered so far? Just tell me everything you've got."

"I've learned about the cooperation between the Special Situation Handling Bureau and Jeremy. I also found out that Jeremy has been to the Tower of Exile. Recently, Jeremy, Liam, and Bonnie went to a special instance together.

In that instance, they obtained three items. These three items seem to be very important. I only know of their existence, but I don't know what they are."

Finally, Kean's subordinate revealed a very crucial piece of intelligence.

Upon hearing this, a serious expression appeared on Kean's face.

"Do you know where Jeremy is right now? Do you know what his next move is?" Kean asked slowly.

The subordinate shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know where Jeremy is. His movements are extremely confidential. Even the higher-ups in the Special Situation Handling Bureau don't necessarily know everything.

As for his next course of action, I believe it is most likely related to the three items he obtained in that special instance."

The intelligence gathered by Kean's subordinate was indeed valuable.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

His reasoning also seemed very plausible.

However, for Kean, this information didn't offer much immediate use.

Kean slowly nodded.

"I understand. Although you haven't gathered much useful information, you're still working hard. As long as you keep doing your best for me, I will reward you."

After saying this, Kean immediately cut off communication with his subordinate.

Kean's subordinate had infiltrated the Special Situation Handling Bureau.

Although not enough intelligence had been gathered yet, Kean was already very satisfied with the progress.

In recent times, Kean had been building his own separate intelligence network.

Kean felt that he could never fully trust anyone else.

Whether it was the high-ranking officials of the Federation or the military headquarters, or the mythological beings related to the apocalypse game planning, such as The Son of the Sun and The Person in the Mirror, none of them could be fully trusted.

Kean hoped to cooperate with them, but in reality, he was just using them.

"Based on the intelligence I've gathered, Jeremy should be returning to the capital soon. This time, I will make sure to give him a big surprise."

Kean muttered to himself as he picked up a glass of wine.

In Kean's view, he had wasted a perfect opportunity during his last operation.

Although he had obtained many powerful items and weapons from the military headquarters, these items and weapons couldn't be used directly.

If the military headquarters discovered them, Kean would be in a situation from which he could never recover.

So these items and weapons could only be used in secret.

This made Kean's actions less convenient.

If, back then, Kean had aimed directly at Jeremy, he might have been able to eliminate him.

But now, it was too late for regrets.

Kean wasn't the type of person to live in the past.

He decided to set a trap for Jeremy in the capital, a trap from which he would have no way to escape.

And setting such a trap naturally required the help of the military headquarters.

Kean directly contacted a friend within the military headquarters.

"I need your help. My biggest opponent is about to arrive in the capital." Kean said bluntly.

"Your biggest opponent?" came the slightly confused voice from the other end of the line. "Didn't the military headquarters and the Federation's high-ranking officials already warn Jeremy not to come to the capital? Isn't Jeremy already your biggest opponent?"

"He is indeed my biggest opponent, and he is about to arrive in the capital." Kean replied with a slightly sarcastic tone.

"What did you just say?! This is absolutely not allowed!" The voice on the other end became very angry. "If Jeremy comes to the capital, the military headquarters will absolutely capture him."

"Calm down for a moment. Do you really think the military headquarters will be able to take effective action?" Kean said with a hint of mockery in his voice. "The military headquarters couldn't even take effective action when facing the monster attack last time."

"Jeremy will definitely find a way to bypass the military headquarters. So this time, we must plan everything in the shadows. Only then can we truly trap Jeremy in an inescapable situation."

Kean expressed his thoughts vaguely.

He only hinted that Jeremy might have some helpers within the military headquarters.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After what felt like an eternity, a hesitant voice finally came through.

"If that's the case, I won't be able to take direct action myself. I can only offer you some conveniences, after all, I still have to follow the orders from the higher-ups in the military headquarters."

This was the response Kean had been waiting for.

To him, there was no need for direct reinforcements from the military headquarters. He only needed them not to create any problems for him.

"Don't worry, I don't need you to take direct action. I can handle it on my own. I will be the one to trap Jeremy in an inescapable situation. All I need from you is a location, and for you not to interfere while I carry out my plan!"

Kean explained his idea.

Without hesitation, the voice on the other end responded, "No problem. As long as it's not in the core area of the capital city, any location is fine. You can also use any items or weapons from the military headquarters."

Upon hearing this, a smile curled at the corner of Kean's mouth.

"I don't need any of the items or weapons. It would be difficult for you to provide them to me anyway. The items and weapons I already have are more than enough. All I need is for you to give me control of the plaza on the outskirts of the south side of the capital."

Kean directly chose a plaza on the outskirts of the capital's southern district as the location for his battle with Jeremy.

"No problem. Tomorrow, I'll have someone hand over control of the plaza to you. For the next week, the military headquarters won't interfere with anything that happens there."

After saying this, the voice on the other end hung up the phone.

Kean was satisfied that he had secured the location for the battle.

Next, he needed to set up traps in that area.

In order to defeat Jeremy, Kean knew he would need to prepare carefully.

Kean decided to place many items and weapons in the plaza.

Finally, the items he obtained from the military headquarters would have their chance to be used.

As long as Jeremy's strength hadn't increased too much since their last encounter, the traps Kean set would not be easily bypassed.

"Jeremy, no matter who's helping you or how powerful you've become, you'll still pay the price! There's no way you'll escape the trap I've carefully designed!"

Kean muttered to himself with a smile.

In Kean's mind, his plan had already succeeded. He didn't believe that Jeremy's strength had improved significantly since their last confrontation.

Kean's biggest mistake, however, was failing to anticipate that Ritchie and Bonnie had already completed their awakenings.
