Chương 422: Played by Fate

A storm of memories brushed past his vision in a split second that felt like a century to him. Roy blinked his eyes and took a deep breath. After a brief pause to sort out his thoughts, a smile bloomed across Roy's face. 

"Seems like we were both played by Fate."

Could he really call it being played by Fate? He was the one who agreed with the contract, after all. A contract with Fate is only valid when both parties agree with it, that's the oppositional nature of Fate; while fate is forced upon people, Fate can not force anything on the living.@@novelbin@@

"...What have you done, Roy, what have you done?"

Samuel circled around himself, gazing at the pillar of light that was showing strange signs, and the sky which was gradually shifting colors. Colors drained off the man's already pale face, making him look no different than a ghost, however, his expression restored back to normal in barely a few seconds. Through gritted teeth, the white-haired Samuel mocked the other party with a sneer on his face. 

"Do you think such a thing can change the outcome? It's a contract with Fate, right? What can a mere contract of fate do when Fate himself is unable to step up and involve himself in the matter?"

It was just as Fate mentioned. One second, and Samuel understood the whole situation inside out. There was no way Roy could outsmart him, not even after thousands of years of life. 

Did that mean there was no way to defeat him? No. However smart this man might be, there are bound to be things he's not aware of, even after thousands of years of life.
