For the members of the Tarot Club, the question of what pathway Mr. Fool belonged to was bordering on blasphemy. The education they had received since childhood made them not even dare to think about it.
However, "Emperor" seemed to already know which pathway the deity Mr. Fool belonged to.
And Klein, sitting at the head of the table, felt an increasingly strong urge to strike "Emperor" with lightning.
But sadly, "The Fool" did not have such authority. He could only mobilize the power of the "Sefirah Castle" to exude sufficient pressure and glare at "Emperor".
Everyone felt that chilling power and lowered their heads, not daring to speculate any further.
Audrey even thought to herself: If Hobert continues like this, he might be punished by Mr. Fool one day.
After all, this was Klein's territory. Hobert, who knew when to yield and when to stand firm, quickly said: "Apologies, Mr. Fool. I gleaned some information from offering sacrifices to you and receiving your blessings. I have never actively speculated about you."
Alger was stunned: What clues could be obtained from the sacrificial and blessing rituals?
Others had the same question, including Klein: If I had known, I wouldn't have scared "Emperor". Otherwise, I could have manipulated "The World" to ask him what he saw in the ritual. But now the atmosphere is so tense that it's not good to ask again.
Then Klein said in a deep voice: "This is the last time!"
Hobert quickly replied: "Yes, yes, yes."
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Audrey's question broke the silence: "Mr. Emperor, what do you mean by a 'stealing fate' Beyonder power?"
Hobert replied: "It refers to stealing the fate of the target. For example, a high-sequence being of that pathway steals the fate of a member of the Tarot Club, then he can replace that member to attend the meeting, and none of us will notice."
Everyone felt a chill down their spines. This ability was too bizarre.
Then, everyone turned their attention to "Little Sun", suspecting whether he was the original "Sun".
Hobert added: "I was just making an analogy. The master of this gray fog space, Mr. Fool, can definitely discern such methods."
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, including Klein.
Klein thought: I didn't even know I had such methods. As expected of the adjacent pathway to the Seer, the main focus is also on mystery.
Fors asked curiously: "Then if he steals the fate of a husband, wouldn't the wife and children at home also treat him as their husband or father? Where did the original husband go?"
"Theoretically, that's how it is," Hobert said. "The person whose fate is stolen will become a stranger in the eyes of his former acquaintances and relatives. Because he has no fate, his connection with reality will gradually weaken, and eventually disappear into the void.
"If, during this process, the fate is returned, he can exist in this world again."
Fors sighed: "What a terrifying ability!"
The existence of such beings makes one dare not believe whether the people around them are still the same as before.
Hobert smiled and said: "Fortunately, there are very, very few people with this ability."
Fors felt that she was not comforted at all.
"Little Sun" asked: "Then after the meeting, should I immediately pray to Mr. Fool?"
"It's best not to," Hobert said. "Since he has been sealed at the bottom of the round tower, it means that your superiors are also aware of his problem, but it is not clear what the specific problem is."
He also followed up: "At this time, you should pretend that you don't know anything. When a real danger occurs, don't rush to ask Mr. Fool for help, but first ask the superiors of City of Silver for help. If you encounter a life-threatening danger, then consider asking Mr. Fool for help."
Hobert nodded, as expected of the "Political Commissar Dao", impeccable in terms of details.
Derrick nodded seriously, carefully noting the instructions of Mr. Emperor and Mr. Hanged Man: "Mr. Emperor, of course I know how advanced the information you revealed today is. For this, I am willing to pay you three Sequence 8-level main materials as a reward after this incident is over."
Hobert was slightly stunned and nodded, thinking to himself: "Little Sun" is still conscientious.
With Derrick taking the lead, Audrey also said: "I also heard this information and asked questions. I will use 'giving you certain help in the future' as a reward for this information."
Alger also had to make a statement: "I will also provide help within my ability in the future as a reward."
Although his reward was similar to "Justice's", adding "within the scope of my ability" made it different, only indicating that helping with a small favor was no problem.
Fors also followed "Hanged Man's" example in expressing her position. Although "The World" was a little unwilling, he also stated that if "Emperor" needed anything, he would lend a hand.
After this issue was discussed, Audrey remembered to offer Roselle's diary to Mr. Fool.
After Mr. Fool's reading time ended, Audrey said again: "Mr. Emperor, I have a question I want to discuss with you separately. Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with Mr. Emperor separately."
Hobert was slightly stunned and nodded.
Klein isolated the hearing and vision of the others.
Audrey asked straight to the point: "You are currently in the Feynapotter Kingdom, right?"
Hobert smiled: "You guessed my identity in the real world after all."
"Didn't you also guess my identity?"
Klein behind the gray fog was stunned, not expecting "Emperor" and "Justice" to know each other.
Then Audrey asked: "Why did you betray your country?"
Klein's "What the heck" almost blurted out: "Mr. Emperor" is Hobert! Hobert is a bandit…Cough, Hobert is "The Emperor"! No wonder when I first met Hobert, I felt his aura was so familiar.
Hobert glanced at "The Fool" with the corner of his eye: Audrey thought that "The Fool", who was like a god, must know the identity of every member of the Tarot Club, but in fact, he didn't know!
He smiled bitterly and thought: Knowing is knowing. There is not much loss in Klein knowing that "Emperor is Hobert", and some problems don't need to be concealed anymore.
"To be honest, I don't know the specific reason," Hobert replied.
Audrey was slightly surprised. Of course, she could observe that Hobert was telling the truth: Could there be some unknown secrets inside?
But she didn't care too much about what those secrets were, and asked again: "You were implicated by Sir Christian and had no choice but to betray your country, right?"
Hobert smiled: "You can understand it that way."
He knew that Audrey had a near-obsessive sense of justice, so he didn't explain further.
Hearing this answer, Audrey felt much more comfortable in her heart: "Did you rob the Nikola Shipyard last night?"
Klein: I…! Alas, I was careless in recruiting people!
