God's Eyes-Chapter 929 - City Lord’s Master

Chapter 929 - City Lord's Master

The old man's voice was clear, and so was his statement.

In fact, Jason felt the same.

He wouldn't trust just any stranger either.

As such, Jason had already expected the old man to be skeptical about him.

In fact, the City Lord must have known that because nobody in their right minds could trust strangers just like that.

After all, a single mistake might lead to the death of one's subordinates.

With that in mind, Jason didn't take the old man's words to his heart.

Rather, he agreed with him and nodded his head in response.

In the end, Jason had simply no idea why a possible shapeshifter would warn him about his possible death.

The middle-aged man shouldn't have bothered about Jason, at all, because he didn't know many people in Liun, let alone any traitors.

Thus, the situation was quite weird.

Yet, before the City Lord could say anything, Jason decided to offer help and solve the puzzle as he said.

"What if I can foretell the future to a certain extent? I can even allow others to see what I'm seeing!"

What Jason meant by exposing this was that he could use Sira's foretelling blessing in order to see a few seconds into the future.

This was quite helpful, but also an action that required tremendous amounts of energy, followed by a huge countdown.

After hearing Jason, the old man's suspicions only increased further.

Yet, he was equally intrigued about Jason and his blessing as he said,

"Elaborate on your blessing, please!"

There was literally no reason for Jason to help the Yinar race find the culprits, other than the sole reason of procuring Soa crystals.

He might think highly of Elder Ben, and some of his students, but that was where his affection or liking for the race seemed to end.

In the end, he had no responsibility towards the.

Still, he sought an opportunity and Jason believed that the current situation would allow him to procure many Soa crystals.

Because of that, he weighed his words carefully before he started speaking after a few seconds,

"As I already said, one of my soulbonds has a blessing, and I can utilize it once or twice a year. With the use of a tremendous amount of energy, I can see a specific point in one possible future.

However, before activating the blessing, I have to think about a certain question I want to have answered, otherwise, it won't work."

He had tweaked a bit of the fact and altered the truth a little in order to not attract too much attention.

However, this was something that failed miserably, and Jason realized it way too late.

Hearing what kind of unique beast Jason had bound to his soul, even the City Lord looked at him for a moment, only for his master to intervene.

"And…what would you want to receive in return to helping us? Even if I don't trust you, which is something you've already figured out, there is no way that you would willingly give up on one of your two future telling opportunities!"

In fact, Jason had once attempted to foretell the current location of his grandparents.

Unfortunately, this had failed miserably.

He was not sure if that was because they were too far away from him, or because he didn't know what they looked like.

But, in the end, it hadn't worked and that was what disappointed him.

Jason didn't really have the plan to make a fortune out of the given situation.

Rather, it was more for the safety of Jennifer, and himself that he was willing to activate the foretelling ability.

After all, he could use it more often than twice a year.

As long as he had enough energy, and a recuperating period of approximately a year, everything would work perfectly fine.

Thus, Jason was not exactly worried as he replied,

"I don't really have a death wish. If I can receive a few Soa crystals that would already be great. But mostly, I don't want to die just because someone doesn't trust my gut feeling!"

Jason figured out that crossing the line between speaking informally and being rude was something he had to be mindful of.

But he didn't like it when people assumed that one wanted to exploit others just because their situation was unfavorable.

It was not as if he couldn't give them a favor and was doing it for some selfish and hidden intents.

Yet, the City Lord's master didn't seem convinced with Jason's explanation as he was not sure whether Jason wanted to make fun of him, or if he was genuinely kind enough to use up one of his two opportunities to foretell the future.

'If it really works, I can still decide whether or not I want to trust what I see…'

This was the thought that flashed through the old man's mind, which caused him to nod his head as he seemed to finally agree to Jason's offer,

"Alright. In this case please use your blessing once!"

Jason figured that the old man was still suspicious of him, but that was perfectly fine with him.

After allowing Sira to enter his mana core, he exerted the foretelling ability and used the blessed energy of his soulbond in addition to his own divine energy.

This clad his entire body in a bright shining light before his eyes began to glow.

Only moments later, a life-like projection manifested in front of Jason, allowing him and the others to see everything clearly.

At this moment, the projection showed the same middle-aged man he had seen in the mission hall, causing Jason to mumble.

"Oh..it's the same man!"

As if his words had caused everything in his surrounding to turn eerily silent, nobody said a word and one could hear even the wind blowing lightly outside

Everybody just kept looking at the man, who was slowly shifting his form before shooting into the air. After reaching a certain height, he looked down at the ginormous city that had once shone in glory.

The city was on fire, and millions of wandering souls stomped through the once bustling streets, bulldozing through the entire city without showing any mercy to innocent people who were desperately trying to flee.

Continuing for a few seconds, the group watched in horror as the scene disappeared only a few moments later, leaving behind utter silence.

It took the City Lord and his master a while before they could speak again as the Master turned to Jason.

"Can you please excuse us? I need to talk to my disciple in private."

Jason, who was wondering what kind of city had been destroyed, could only nod his head before leaving the hall, waiting on the floor as per the City Lord's request after his master had finished his words.

The moment Jason was outside the room, the City Lord's master turned towards his disciple, before asking the most important questions,

"He never saw our capital, right? Nor does he know about the wandering souls the Soul Monarch bound to his soul, correct?"

Shaking his head, the City Lord could barely calm down his jittery nerves as he knew exactly what his master was talking about.

Even if Jason had been lying for the whole time, it was impossible to foretell something one had never seen or heard about.

As such, the visions shown by his foretelling ability were something that was ought to happen in the future if nothing were to change!

Yet, owing to the fact that they saw the future, it was bound to happen, even if something changed…or so the two men thought, and hoped for.

Little did they know that Jason's foretelling ability only took a peek at one of the endless possible paths the future could take and that it was just one of the more likely ones to occur.

"Give him a bucket of the purest Soa crystals we have… That's the bare minimum we can give him, even if the future he tells might not be the final outcome…But I feel like we have lots of things to do now!!"
