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

In the real world, Farmer, who had suffered a humiliating defeat while trying to provoke Ritchie, slunk back to the imperial capital in disgrace.

For the first two days, he didn't dare approach Kean directly.

He knew that informing Kean about the incident would undoubtedly unleash Kean's wrath. Even as a butler, he would be unable to shield himself from Kean's fury.

During those initial two days, Farmer racked his brains, trying to devise another plan to trouble Jeremy's friends.

However, he couldn't find any formidable allies within such a short span, leaving him unqualified to create further problems for Jeremy's companions.

On the afternoon of the second day after Farmer's return to the capital, Kean unexpectedly called him.

Realizing that there was no way to keep the matter under wraps any longer, Farmer braced himself.

"Young Master, what can I do for you?" Farmer asked obsequiously as he answered Kean's call.

On the other end of the line, Kean's icy voice immediately cut through the air.

"Is your memory really that poor? Do you have no idea why I'm calling you?"

Under the immense pressure from Kean, Farmer could only stammer out a response.

"Young Master, are you perhaps inquiring about the operation from two days ago?"

"I don't care about you, I only care whether Jeremy's friends and family have paid the price!"

From just these few exchanges, Farmer had already gauged Kean's resolve.

Given the circumstances, Farmer could no longer divert the conversation.

"Young Master, I did act on your orders. However, not only did our operation fail, but we also suffered a devastating defeat."

Farmer said, his voice tinged with nervousness.

On the other end, there was no response. If the call hadn't still been connected, Farmer might have assumed Kean had hung up.

Farmer waited quietly for Kean's reaction.

"Why aren't you continuing? How exactly did you suffer such a crushing defeat? Explain everything in detail."

Kean demanded, his tone as icy as before.

Despite the cold tone, Farmer could sense that Kean was seething with anger.

Though he was adept at suppressing his rage.

With no other choice, Farmer began to explain in detail why their operation had failed.

Once he finished recounting everything, Kean's furious roar erupted from the other end of the line.

"Are you an idiot?! Why didn't you make all the necessary preparations before the operation?! Don't you know that Jeremy's friends have also awakened their abilities?!"

Faced with Kean's roar, Farmer wisely chose to remain silent.

He knew all too well that any attempt to defend himself would only exacerbate Kean's fury.

"I knew it! You're all a bunch of useless fools! Whether it's you or those so-called elite bodyguards you selected, none of you are capable of handling even one of Jeremy's worthless friends!"

Kean continued to roar on the other end of the line.

After a relentless tirade that lasted over ten minutes, Kean finally calmed down.

"You won't need to concern yourself with the upcoming matters. Just ensure that no one comes looking for me while I'm away from the capital." he instructed.

Kean concluded with this final, icy remark before abruptly hanging up the phone.

Farmer understood perfectly well what Kean's words implied—Kean was going to personally deal with Jeremy's friends and family.

However, this wasn't necessarily bad news for Farmer.

"At least I've managed to extricate myself from this mess. Whether or not Kean's actions succeed is no longer my concern." Farmer muttered to himself as he set about making the necessary preparations.

After Kean's departure, Farmer found himself having to independently contend with the other factions of the The Lannisters in the capital. This was not a task that could be easily accomplished.

While Farmer was busy with his actions, Kean was already heading straight to the capital's airport. The Lannisters owned several private jets at the airport. As the young master of the The Lannisters, Kean naturally didn't need to wait for a scheduled flight to reach Moonlight City, unlike Farmer.

When Kean arrived at the airport to board his private jet, those from the Lannisters stationed there found the situation quite peculiar.

"I think I just saw Young Master Kean. Where could he be heading now? And why is he using a private jet at this hour?"

"It's not our place to question when Young Master Kean decides to use his private jet. Besides, his movements are certainly not something he'd disclose to us. Let's not get involved and instead focus on our own duties."

"I heard that Young Master Kean recently lost to an obscure nobody. Do you think this trip has anything to do with that previous failure?"

The Lannisters subordinates were buzzing with speculation about Kean's possible mission.

At that moment, a manager-like figure approached them.

"Have you all finished your work? What are you gossiping about here? Get back to your tasks immediately!"

After everyone had dispersed, a manager-like figure glanced at Kean's private jet, which had already taken off, and remarked with a hint of concern, "Let's hope this doesn't lead to any major trouble."

In Moonlight City, Benjamin was diligently addressing long-overdue matters.

At that moment, one of his subordinates hurriedly approached him and whispered, "Young Master Kean from the The Lannisters has flown to Moonlight City overnight."

Benjamin looked up, a surprised expression on his face.

"Is this true? Why would Kean come here? Could it be related to Jeremy?"

Benjamin's mind was exceptionally quick, he knew there was some friction between Kean and Jeremy. Kean's sudden arrival in Moonlight City was likely to cause trouble for Jeremy.

However, he was also aware that Jeremy was no longer in the real world but had entered an instance.

"I don't know for sure, but that seems the most plausible scenario! What other reason could compel Kean to fly to Moonlight City overnight?"

Benjamin nodded in agreement.

"Contact the driver immediately. I need to get to Moonlight City airport at once. I must intercept Kean! This isn't just for me or even for Jeremy. In fact, it's for Kean's own good too!"

Benjamin's subordinates did not contradict his statement.

They were well aware that any conflict between Kean and Jeremy would spell trouble for everyone involved.

Jeremy had already caught the attention of the Federation as a super rookie. Even as the young master of the The Lannisters, Kean would face severe repercussions if he clashed with the Federation.

The last thing Benjamin wanted was for Kean, Jeremy, the Federation, the The Lannisters, and the White Family to all get entangled in a major mess.

Benjamin's subordinate acted swiftly, and within minutes, Benjamin's car was ready.

He then sped off towards Moonlight City airport.

When Benjamin arrived at the airport, Kean's plane was already descending. Benjamin instructed his subordinate to check the plane's itinerary.

"Thank goodness I got here in time. If I hadn't hurried, Kean might already be on his way to Jeremy's friends and family by now."

Benjamin sighed, then asked his subordinate, "When does his plane land? I need to intercept him the moment he steps off."

His subordinate quickly coordinated with the airport staff to get the necessary information.

At that moment, Benjamin seemed to sense a very familiar presence nearby.

Slightly taken aback, he glanced around. Although the presence flickered only briefly, his sensitivity to it was undeniable.

"Could it be that Kean has already arrived in Moonlight City? Did he manage to bypass my interception using an unanticipated method?"

An idea suddenly flashed through Benjamin's mind.

Just then, one of his subordinates hurriedly ran up to his side.

"Bad news, that wasn't Kean's private jet at all! Kean swapped the call sign of his jet with that of another plane. His actual private jet landed over ten minutes ago."

The information relayed by his subordinate filled Benjamin with deep regret.

He could now definitively ascertain that the familiar presence he had sensed moments ago was indeed Kean's.

"Regardless, immediately dispatch enough personnel to Jeremy's friends' and family's residences. Not a single mistake is permissible. I will contact other allies."

Benjamin knew that having missed intercepting Kean at the airport, he could no longer rely solely on his own efforts to stop Kean's actions.

He now needed to collaborate with others to thwart Kean.

In Moonlight City, only two other prominent figures could help stop Kean.

The important Federal General Howard and the equally rare and gifted Awakened, Ella.

Wasting no time, Benjamin set out to find these two allies.

Meanwhile, Kean was already en route to Ritchie's residence. He dialed Farmer's number.

"There shouldn't be any unexpected situations in the capital, right? You don't need to worry about that fool Benjamin, he has no idea I could evade him. Just keep handling the affairs in the capital for me."

The reason Kean made this call was to ensure that Farmer stayed focused and didn't become too relaxed. Kean didn't want any unexpected situations to occur in the capital while he was in Moonlight City.
