Chapter 1019 You Are Changing!

"What? You couldn't predict this?" Liam sneered.

For the first time, the Oracle looked dumbfounded, standing there with his jaw dropped on the ground. 

Though his class was a special hidden class and powerful beyond imagination, there were still some things that were even out of his reach.

And one of them was death!

He couldn't see past his death, and since he had only just now died and technically been reborn, he definitely hadn't expected Liam to sniff him out so soon.

To make matters worse, he was buck-naked like a baby, both literally and figuratively. He was fucking Level 1, for god's sake.

Caden's face twisted into an ugly smile. How could he have forgotten this? 

Sometimes fate was a real bitch! 

He had done so much, all to escape this one thing, and he was once again right back where he started!

Also, now he no longer had any decision to make. The decision was, by default, already made for him, and that was to beg this madman in front of him to let him stay alive.

Caden sighed with a rueful smile and then asked Liam, "How did you know I was not dead?"

Liam shrugged. 

In reality, it was a simple matter for him to figure it out. After all, he made a living out of forging souls. How could he not notice when a soul was missing?

After he had killed the damned annoying prick, naturally, he wanted to forge his soul and make him predict his fortune for all of eternity, but lo and behold, the guy's soul was gone!

It had simply vanished! Poof!

The first thought that came to his mind was his special class. He wondered if Oracles were so special that their souls couldn't be captured.

However, he quickly put that thought away. 

Even if Oracles were that special, this guy was a newbie just like he was. How could he have progressed so much in his class? 

The chances were he was overthinking things and unnecessarily complicating stuff. Once he arrived at that conclusion, the rest was child's play. 

All he had to do was send out his minions to scan the area thoroughly. This way, he wouldn't be able to escape him even if he had tried any sort of weird teleportation tricks or invisibility scams.

But to his surprise, soon, the matter became even more simple. He was unexpectedly able to sense the guy's soul!

When the person had died, the soul was missing, but perhaps there was a brief moment where he had sensed it?

And since he was within the limits of the reach of his soul minions sensing radius, he was once again able to sense the very same soul some distance away.

Without wasting any time, Liam immediately rushed over here, and voila! He was staring at the same guy, wholly alive and completely uninjured!

However, this still did not make any difference. Liam was very clear on what to do with this person. He was to die today.

He stepped forward, his black eyes not hiding his intentions.

Caden immediately became fearful. 

"Wait. Wait. Wait. I am completely unarmed and vulnerable. Look, my Level is 1, and you can see I have nothing on me. You can kill me anytime you want. Don't you want to hear me out first?"

Liam shrugged again and took another step forward. 

"Please spare me a minute before you make your decision. You already killed me once. The karma between you and me is settled. This is a new cycle. Do you already want to taint it?" 

Caden became even more desperate.

However, no matter what he said, Liam did not seem like he was going to listen.

Thanks to his unique class, Caden could already feel the strings of fate closing in on him. With every passing second, he was descending deeper and deeper into a pit from which there was no return.

However, the man in front of him was only determined to push him into this pit. He was like a wild beast exuding raw, unfiltered killing intent, and all of it was directed at him.

What could he say to him that would make him stop?

Caden couldn't help but shiver as he looked at Liam right now. Their meetings in person could be counted on a single hand, but today was definitely different.

Was it because he was Level 1, or perhaps was it because of …

Caden already knew the answer to this question. In fact, wasn't it because of this he decided to make a certain choice…

He let out a sigh and looked at Liam anyways, despite the suffocating pressure that drowned him completely.

"Hear me out, Mr. Liam. Or I can guarantee that you will regret it. I have already foreseen your fate. You need to know some things."

"Tch. Tch. You don't give up, do you? Like I said, I am not interested." 

Liam's hands reached for his crystal pendant one more time when the Oracle finally shrieked out loud, unable to bear it any longer. "HEYYYYY!"

This was it. His last and final moment. It was now or never. His life and death would be determined by this single moment.

His body trembled, and his eyes bulged out. He started shouting loudly as a final, desperate last-ditch attempt.

"STOP!"

"You have to listen to me."

"Can't you see it? You are already changing!"

"Have you ever been this talkative in your entire life? Did you even notice your behavior today?"

"I know you. We have not spoken with each other too many times, but I know you well. I have been keeping track of you for a long time now."

Hmmm? Liam raised a brow.

"You are a person who is calm and steady. You keep your head down, and you work hard toward your goal no matter what obstacle stands in your path." 

"At the same time, you never let your strength and power get to you. You have never once shown arrogance or blood lust." 

"But tell me… is that the same person who is in front of me today? Can't you see that you have changed? If you don't see this today, do you know what kind of future awaits you?"

The Oracle blurted out everything that was in his mind without taking a breath, and luckily for him… this small outburst… did, in fact, finally get Liam's interest as he was talking about Liam.

Liam stood still. His actions paused. His cold gaze bore into the shivering man as he actually tried to truly contemplate the words that were spoken.

Was he really that different today? Were his actions unusual?
