I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 545 137: The Onlooker Sees Clearly

Silence is the best answer.There are no fools present; everyone looks at Cantona with some incredulity. Cantona has always given an impression of being mature and steady, very inclusive, and even possessing the ability to identify lies, serving as the foundation of trust for the Round Table Conference.

"Taurus, aren't you going to explain?" Christian said. His sudden challenge wasn't directed at Taurus but to confirm his own judgment. It turned out to be true; however, knowing Taurus's personality, there must be some inside information.

Cantona stood up, "I'm sorry; it's true that I have concealed this, but it's my promise, and I cannot say anything about it."

Cantona did not debate, making the atmosphere suddenly a bit heavy. The most troubling thing for a secret organization like theirs is actually the uncertain factors, and the hard-won trust becomes precarious.

Li Xin smiled, "Mr. Taurus, I want to ask a question. In your judgment, will Virgo pose harm to us?"

Cantona thought for a moment, "It's hard to say, but from my interactions, there are no signs of harm to the Round Table Conference."

Li Xin nodded. He actually was fine with respecting the privacy of other members, as everyone has different circumstances. As for the risk assessment, he can make a judgment after leaving.

But how others think is unknown, especially Mr. Cancer, who is quite sensitive and suspicious.

The Round Table Conference ended for the first time in such a not-so-good atmosphere, with Mr. Cancer being the first to leave. Clearly, he was not accepting such an answer, taking Taurus with him.

Cantona smiled wryly, "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused everyone."

He originally wanted to discuss the matter of the magic potions with Mr. Gemini, but now it seems difficult to speak.

Cantona also left the Round Table Conference. Seeing Li Xin had nothing else, Simmons left as well. Anyway, he would directly call upon Brother Li for some exciting tasks.

Miss Aries looked at Mr. Gemini and then at Mr. Leo. It seemed Mr. Leo wanted to stay to the end. She lifted her skirt and bowed, "Mr. Gemini, Mr. Leo, goodbye."

"Miss Aries, if it is destined on the path, then we should boldly walk it. Goodbye."

Estella showed a knowing smile, silently thought, good night, Mr. Gemini, wishing you sweet dreams.

Only Li Xin and Batty were left at the Round Table Conference, Batty hesitating to speak. Li Xin smiled, "Don't worry, just say whatever's on your mind."

Batty nodded, sharing recent updates, including those from Bamuta, while the Order of Tishili hasn't made any further moves. "Every shanty in the mining district now has a wooden fish. We've noticed something; although most have little effect, it isn't without impact. When I tap the wooden fish, others join in, which has a certain effect in resisting the murmurs."

Could it be the resonance of sound?

Actually, Li Xin doesn't know either, but at least it's a good thing. He understands Batty wants him to visit Divpo City.

"Once I handle recent matters, I will make a trip," Li Xin said.

Batty's unusual information; he is pretending to be calm, yet unsure how to handle the current situation. He understands the secret tunnel must be dangerous, if able to appear long ago, it would have. Hundreds of years, yet no one is known to have escaped, but maybe the gentleman has a way.

Batty left the Round Table Conference; only Li Xin remained.

Li Xin looked up at the sky, touching the Taurus constellation. Soon, Cantona returned to the Round Table Conference.

"Mr. Taurus, I noticed hesitation earlier; is there something on your mind?" Li Xin asked.

Cantona smiled wryly, "Mr. Gemini, concerning Virgo, I made a promise, and without permission, I cannot speak."

Li Xin smiled, "Not that, is there something else, regarding the magic potions?"

Cantona remained silent for a moment, "Mr. Gemini, do you still dare to trust me?"

"Mr. Taurus, everyone has their own principles of action; as long as one's conscience is clear, that's enough," Li Xin said.

"Mr. Gemini, I am indeed facing a dilemma now; I have two bottles of advanced magic potions," Cantona described his situation briefly, hinting at his double agent identity.

Li Xin thought for a moment, "Mr. Taurus, you're too caught up in your own circumstances; it's simple—you just need to report the situation truthfully. If it's a task from the Church, naturally, let the Church decide."

Cantona was stunned; he had become obsessed recently, his mind rigid, constantly complaining about his circumstances, coupled with the presence of Luna Lay making him indeed confused. He was just a pawn, without need for thoughts, neither side wanting him dead—just to prove loyalty.

Cantona stood up and bowed, "Mr. Gemini, words can't express my gratitude."

Li Xin waved a hand, "Don't be formal, Mr. Taurus. There's no need for that between us, contact me anytime if needed. Good night."

"Good night."

Li Xin left the Round Table Conference.

Cantona relaxed, leaning back on the high-backed chair, breathing a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was naive, rather, instinctively respecting the Church Court. Mr. Gemini has a temperament he hasn't seen in others, not even his teacher—a nature of looking squarely at the Church... even at the Divine Being.

Under what circumstances can someone possess such a quality?

Thinking of the Immortal, when multiple coincidences gather, Cantona couldn't figure out how to describe it. He was just a mortal, shouldn't wantonly speculate.

Actually, in the moment of realization, Cantona knew how to handle matters. No one knows the state of Death God and Nether God better than him. A double agent doesn't necessarily need strong combat skills, but must keep a clear mind. Lately, he can't continue drinking to the point of intoxication.

Cantona glanced at the Virgo constellation; the favor of saving his life, nothing to grumble. Cancer's doubts are justified, Mr. Gemini's trust is worth remembering, and beyond everything else, the Round Table's depths are deeper than imagined.

Such a life, is very interesting, very thrilling!

The frustration cleared away; rejuvenated determination, Cantona left the Round Table Conference.

The morning sunlight shone through the window onto Christian's table, coffee emitting its beautiful steam; another beautiful sunny morning.

The fingers holding the coffee cup are long and slender; today's coffee tastes very nice.

The diary has been opened, with already a few paragraphs written.

"Virgo descends but does not arrive, has connections with Taurus. Taurus seems to be held by Virgo, or fears Virgo's power—Virgo surpasses Three Lives."

"Some Round Table members emotional, knowing Taurus is hiding the truth, still lacking vigilance."

"Must find a way to resolve the Virgo issue; otherwise, the Round Table will not last."

"Can't rely on others; I'll solve it myself."
