Chapter 301: A Life for a Chance
Bill's heart was still racing, fear seizing him as cold sweat dripped down his back. He had never imagined that, by mere chance, he would come face to face with Oracle King.
The realization hit him like a freight train. He had dared to mock Oracle King—to think of him as nothing more than an ant. Now, he wanted nothing more than to tear his own mouth off.
But the question still gnawed at him—Where had the vital energy in his body come from?
Bill's mind raced as he tried to piece it together.
Then, it clicked.
It must have been the slap Oracle King gave him on the shoulder when they parted. At the time, he hadn't felt any discomfort; in fact, he had arrogantly demanded that John remove his "dirty hand."
But now? The truth hit him hard.
The control Oracle King had over his vital energy was terrifying. He could hide it, manipulate it, and release it at will.
No wonder John was so powerful. No wonder he could stand alone as the King of Horizon—a force far greater than any individual backing him.
