Klein stared at the parchment before him, remaining motionless for a long time.

After a long while, he gently slapped the edge of the mottled long table with his palm, causing all the manifested items to disappear.

He summoned the golden pocket watch, pressed it open, and took a look. Klein "pinched" a message to Little "Sun," telling him to prepare for the Tarot gathering.

About a thousand heartbeats later, streaks of deep red light rose from both sides of the bronze long table, coalescing into different silhouettes on the various high-backed chairs.

Without any pause, all the members' gazes simultaneously turned toward the figure seated at the very head, shrouded in gray-white mist.

Seeing that "Mr. Fool" hadn't put on his monocle, "Star" Leonard let out a long sigh of relief inwardly, then turned his body to look at the very end of the mottled long table, confirming the situation of "The World" .

Similarly, "The Hermit" , "Justice" Audrey, and "The Magician" Fors, after seeing "Mr. Fool," instinctively shifted their attention to "The World" Gehrman Sparrow.

One of them knew that "The World" had fallen into a dangerous situation and could only seek "Mr. Fool"'s protection; one had received no feedback for two days and suspected that Gehrman Sparrow had indeed gotten involved in the matter of George III and encountered some trouble; the other was aware that the matter of George III entailed great risks and was a bit worried that "Mr. World" had suffered severe trauma.

Seeing that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow was completely unharmed and showing nothing unusual, "Justice" Audrey withdrew her gaze, elegantly lifted her hem, and curtsied toward the head of the bronze long table:

"Good afternoon, 'Mr. Fool'~"

After the whole world situation became even more chaotic, the Tarot Club could still maintain its original appearance, which gave her some comfort and improved her mood quite a bit.

After the Tarot Club members finished their salutes following "Miss Justice," "Mr. Fool" Klein nodded slightly, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

Then, he slowly looked around and said with a light laugh:

"You all seem very concerned about whether this Tarot gathering would proceed as usual."

Hearing these words, "The Hanged Man" Alger's heart suddenly raced, and it felt as if the sound of "thump thump" echoed directly in his ears.

He believed without doubt that "Mr. Fool" was subtly referring to him, administering a relatively gentle reprimand.

That is to say, giving him an opportunity to repent.

Alger lowered his head and, letting his voice tremble slightly, began to speak:

"It is we who are not devout enough, who overthink things."

Uh... why is "Mr. Hanged Man" confessing on my behalf... "The Magician" Fors, who had instructed "The Hierophant" Xio to ask "Mr. Fool" whether the Tarot gathering would be held as scheduled, was taken aback. Then she stopped overthinking, followed suit by turning toward the head of the bronze long table, lowered her head, and repeated:

"It is we who are not devout enough, who overthink things."

So it wasn't just me who had been praying to "Mr. Fool" these past few days... "Mr. Hanged Man" said he overthought things because this Tarot gathering might have been canceled, which led him to some unnecessary speculation? But Fors wouldn't have thought of that... "Justice" Audrey looked across and then at her side, a sudden realization dawning on her.

"Mr. Fool" Klein nodded, then looked around again and said:

"Such concern is still understandable."

He then sighed with a laugh:

"During this time, I used 'The World''s body to play a game with in the Forsaken Land. Fortunately, I didn't miss this Tarot gathering."

Every word he said was true, but the information others interpreted from it would definitely be far from the actual situation.

And in this way, even if Amon spread the news that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow equals "Mr. Fool," the Tarot Club members would only mentally sneer that Amon was trying to deceive again. During that period, "The World" equaled "Mr. Fool" but that doesn't mean "The World" always equals "Mr. Fool"; partial truth is actually equivalent to a lie.

Played a game with Amon... The old man guessed it accurately. "Mr. Fool" deliberately used Klein to lure "Blasphemer" Amon... From the current situation, He obtained a fairly satisfactory result, making Amon suffer a great loss... "Star" Leonard, who had already suspected something, felt that this completely matched his expectations and had no doubt about "Mr. Fool"'s words.

"Mr. Fool" didn't reply for a quarter of an hour because He was in the middle of a critical moment struggling with Amon? He had already recovered to such an extent? "Justice" Audrey listened, both surprised and delighted, feeling an inexplicable strong sense of pride.

"The Hanged Man" Alger also discerned from "Mr. Fool"'s words the hidden implication that He had further revived and could even gain an advantage in a direct confrontation with an Angel King.

This made him even more regretful that he had doubted and tested.

"Mr. Fool" hinted beforehand that the Tarot gathering might be canceled because He had foreseen the impending conflict with Amon? Or even, even this was something He had actively provoked, setting a trap for Amon? Alger suddenly thought of many things, feeling that his little schemes could not be hidden before such a high-level existence.

He warned himself once again: He must not do such things again in the future!

So "Mr. World" didn't respond because "Mr. Fool" was using his body to fight against Amon... That Angel King Amon really is powerful, even requiring "Mr. Fool" to personally take action... "The Magician" Fors and "The Hierophant" Xio exchanged glances, no longer having any doubts about the earlier question.
