I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 498 - 353 Truth (Two in One)
Chapter 498: Chapter 353 Truth (Two in One)
After Philip agreed to the proposal of the Round Table Knights, Sir Bindu personally took action and killed all the members of the tea party who were suspended in midair.
With a snap of his fingers, a “black cocoon” woven from shadows gradually crept upwards, covering the faces of the tea party members. Then, amid their terrified screams, it completely enveloped them into a mass.
After a burst of intense writhing, all the “black cocoons” came to a stillness.
Philip crossed his arms and watched the entire process with a smile.
“Then, Your Excellency, we shall take our leave for now… Following the convening of the Round Table Knights, we will convey your wishes to the other Round Table Knights and the Knight Commander, who will personally hold a private discussion with you.”
Mulenga smiled, placing a hand over his chest, and gave Philip a slight bow.
The latter nodded gently, pondered for a moment, and added:
“Mhm, but please make it quick, my time is quite precious.”
“Of course,” Mulenga said with a smile.
“This matter is significant, and we are all very eager to facilitate this cooperation.”
As the five Round Table Knights left, they called Chen Lun, who had been standing silently aside, to their side.
They looked at the accomplished officer with a satisfied gaze, appearing very appreciative. They were also well aware that if the Chess Club could ultimately form a partnership with the Twilight Tea Party, there would be a greater likelihood in the struggle for the seats within the Righteous God Church.
In this, Jack played a key role.
After all, the acting chairman of the tea party, Mr. Philip, had made it clear that he was willing to lead the Tea Party in ending its cooperation with the Black Knife Brotherhood and turning to the club’s camp, all for Jack’s sake.
Such significant merits naturally included Jack’s share.
“You’ve done really well, Jack,” Kingsberg said kindly, raising his large hand to pat Chen Lun on the shoulder.
This was the second time he said so.
“In every aspect, you are an exceptional talent.”
Yasmin, standing beside, similarly gave a high appraisal, her face wearing a kindly smile.
Mulenga and Sir Bindu both nodded in agreement, and Peggy giggled, picking up the black top hat in Chen Lun’s hand, placing it on his head, and straightening it for him.
“Mmm, such an outstanding man, I like even more…” Peggy said playfully, tracing Chen Lun’s cheek with her finger.
Chen Lun’s expression remained unchanged, and he merely bowed his head slightly.
“Thank you for your praise, Knights. This is merely what I ought to do,” he said.
Kingsberg was very pleased with his humble attitude and laughed with his powerful voice:
“Jack, all that you’ve done has been noticed by us. If things go smoothly… the rest of the Round Table Knights will regard you with new respect, and your rewards won’t be lacking, of course. We will also try our best to secure the Supernatural Knowledge you need for promotion.”
Following that, Kingsberg, Bindu, and Yasmin, three of the Round Table Knights, each gave him their personal tokens. Suppressing the joy in his heart, Chen Lun took them with both hands, then steadied his stance to bow in gratitude once again.
At the same time, he received a prompt from the panel.
The Affection of the five Round Table Knights for him had uniformly reached the “Close” stage.
They then turned to look at Philip, exchanging glances.
The Round Table Knights could tell that Philip seemed to have something to say to Jack, so they nodded understandingly and departed first.
The five transformed into shadows and dissipated on the spot.
In the villa living room located in the Spirit World, only Philip and Chen Lun remained.
The twenty or so “shadow cocoons” above gradually dissipated, and the Mysterious Objects within them slowly fell into Philip’s hands.
He turned to look at Chen Lun and said with a smile:
“Shall we sit down and have a chat?”
Chen Lun took a deep breath and nodded.

“Sure.”

The two sat facing each other on the sofa.
Philip sorted through those Mysterious Objects for a while, eventually keeping two, which he placed on the coffee table.
They were a rusty key and a wooden doll the size of a palm.
“These are the left behind by Mr. Manoran and Mr. Anderson, the two vice-chairmen. They should be of some use to you, so I’ll give them to you,” Philip said, while also producing two tall glasses from nowhere, poured himself a glass of wine, and gave Chen Lun a glass of milk.
Chen Lun silently watched, his doubts growing deeper.
This blond, pompadoured man, in a certain sense, was his guide, not only leading him onto the path of the Destiny Faction but also leaving behind many “legacies” that allowed him to grow rapidly.
His rise to this point, one could say, was inseparable from the other’s assistance.
However, from the beginning to the end, Chen Lun had never seen Philip’s true face, only getting to know this mentor and tragic “protagonist figure” indirectly through the latter’s diary and the words of others.
Until their first encounter today…
But Chen Lun still felt that something was off, his mind swirling with confusion, making the puzzle pieces impossible to fit together.
First, everything in Philip’s own written diary entries, as well as facts relayed by Her Majesty Maggie, confirmed that he should have died… Secondly, how did he know Chen Lun? Even crossing such a vast expanse of time, guiding him step by step to grow.
And from the moment they met, he knew Chen Lun disliked wine and preferred milk.
