YM778.TV Chapter 953 The Game
A violet mist gradually emerged from Felix, clearing Reto\'s influence from his mind. Felix remembered every word, every smile that appeared on Reto\'s face, and it made his eyes grow wider.
"It looks like you\'ve finally figured it out now. You\'re scared, that\'s obvious, but there\'s no reason for that." Reto smirked as he stopped a meter away from Felix.
"You... You hypnotized me!" Felix exclaimed with a wave of her hands.
"Hmm... Not really, something like that can\'t be called hypnosis..." Reto muttered as he touched his lips with a thoughtful expression, "Although there is truth in what you say. I have relieved you of the tension, gradually, and made you think that I am not your enemy."
Reto shrugged, "Honestly I didn\'t expect you to tell me so much about yourself, it seems like you haven\'t talked to anyone in a very long time, hasn\'t it?"
"Shut up!!!" Felix shouted, got to his feet, and jumped back. Several water spheres appeared next to him and were ready to descend upon Reto at any moment.
"A water Element? How curious, it\'s been a long time since I fought someone like you. However, that\'s not exactly what I want." Reto smiled slyly as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Agh...? What are you talking about?" Felix was puzzled. He took a few steps back, not wanting to approach Reto.
"Well, I have to explain something to you first. You don\'t stand a chance against me. You will lose a hundred battles out of a hundred." Reto said calmly before stepping forward.
Whooooooooooooooooosh.
His silhouette blurred as suddenly three Reto appeared next to Felix each with a sharp dagger in his hand. Felix instinctively tried to back away, but as soon as he took a step back he felt the chill from the metal blade that almost cut off his head.
"Hey, you shouldn\'t move so sharply, if I hadn\'t reacted you would have killed yourself." Reto as well as his illusion simultaneously said with a smirk.
Felix shuddered as a chill ran down his back. He was an experienced assassin and knew better than most that Reto could have easily killed him now.
"Are these illusions? Why do I feel that every one of these daggers is real?" Felix asked with a gulp.
"Hah, it has to be. I learned a long time ago to create copies of myself that would be at least 70% as strong as me. I\'m trying to increase the percentage, but it\'s pretty hard." Reto said relaxedly as if talking about a domestic problem.
Snap.
Reto snapped his fingers, thereby removing his illusions and returning the dagger to his belt.
"Well, now that you realize you don\'t stand a chance against me, we can move on to the third part of our unusual encounter." Reto smirked as he reached forward, "Now you have two options, first, I kill you since you\'re an intruder, I guess you had to be prepared that one day that would happen."
Felix shuddered as he got goosebumps. He loved to steal, endlessly replenishing his space with new resources, but he didn\'t want to die for it at all.
"What\'s the second option...? I don\'t know what you\'re going to say, but I think anything is better than what you\'re suggesting now." Felix asked with an awkward look.
Felix smirked, "I\'ll give you a chance to survive. It all depends on your skills as a thief and of course luck, there\'s nowhere in our world without it, isn\'t there?"
"What am I supposed to do? You want me to steal something...?" Felix hesitantly asked, but he was willing to do anything if this was actually his chance.
Reto remained silent until he turned to the vines and said, "You will have a simple task. You will have to steal one bunch of grapes with your eyes closed."
"And...is that all...?" Felix muttered in a confusion.
"Not really. Whether or not you succeed will depend on how many grapes there are. If it\'s an even number, you lose, if it\'s the other way around, you stay alive and even get a reward." Reto shrugged as a sly smile appeared on his face.
"As soon as I snap my fingers a tight blindfold will appear over your eyes and you\'ll have ten seconds to bring me one grape bunch."
Felix nodded, he thought the assignment was too strange, but he was in no position to resent it. Now he had to try to do his best to find the right bunch of grapes in time.
"Fine, in that case, we begin...right now!" Reto exclaimed as he snapped his finger.
Felix\'s eyes appeared a dense purple blindfold through which it was impossible to see anything. He was in complete darkness, but he had plenty of time to look around, so he moved quickly.
In a second Felix was among the vines, touching several bunches. He didn\'t have much time, so he tried to find the right bunch as quickly as possible.
Whooooooooooooosh.
With less than a second to go, Felix appeared in front of Reto with a bunch of grapes clutched between his fingers.
The purple patch was gone from his eyes, signaling the end of the ordeal.
"Well, I hope you made the right choice. Let\'s get to the counting, shall we?" Reto held out his hand with his palm open.
Felix took a deep breath and handed the bunch of grapes to Reto hopefully.
"One, two, three, four..." Reto slowly counted touching each grape. He did this with a slight smile on his face, but the further he went the more worried Felix got.
\'Shit! Shit! Shit! Even though he said to choose carefully, was it possible?! It all depends entirely on luck! It\'s 50/50, I either die or I live! He\'s just messing with me.\' Felix inwardly exclaimed with a frightened expression.
The counting lasted quite a while, and when Reto came to an end, rivers of sweat ran down his forehead as his lips were completely dry from the stress.
