Chapter 442 A Plan Formulated with a Very High Probability
When it came to looking at someone's destiny, their strength was important, for if it was too powerful, the person trying to see the destiny could be hurt.
But, in Mei's hands, no such thing was necessary. She could see anything she wanted, or so Matt saw. It made him wonder how powerful she was.
'Though it's a power she can't use.' He sighed.
By now, they had begun the process of seeing his destiny; he wasn't on that mountain.
He was floating on the River of Destiny, and Mei was beside him. As she made the waves below start towards the sides of the river, it chased away many kinds of spirits that were around.
Suddenly, the scenery changed for both of them as the waves managed to splash them with water.
Immediately, in front of Matt and Mei, several paths appeared. There were not as many as there should have been, but about ten different paths were shown.
On each path, Matthew was present.
'Mei has improved drastically.' Matthew began to look at each path after thinking.
Each path reflected different things, but they were all his destination with the City of Clans in the present day or what should be the present day.
Matthew did a lot of research on those roads. He researched several cities and then the City of Clans. All of his moves were made from obscurity; he didn't show up on his own.
That pattern repeated in all the paths, and at the end of the paths, there was no clear explanation, but there was the possibility of dying in front of a powerful Clan and dozens of incredibly strong people.
There were battles between Matt and many people there, but everything was cut off when a powerful Clan appeared.
That made Matt frown; he had noticed strange things about this.
'I feel like I've seen this before or experienced it before...' He was confused, so he looked at the roads again.
'It's the pattern...' That investigation pattern repeated in all the paths was a bit strange.
It reminded him of the time when he investigated the City of the Bloody Dawn; the pattern of the investigation was very similar. Maybe if it hadn't been him, he wouldn't have noticed it, but since it was him and how he operated, he naturally understood it.
'This looks like something created by an outside force.' He glanced sideways at Mei to see if she noticed, but she was quietly standing there, looking at the paths and studying them thoroughly.
She didn't seem to know anything.
'Maybe it's because it's me, and I don't tend to operate the same way the second time I do something. But where does this come to me from?
Why on earth would someone be trying to manipulate my destiny?' Although he wanted to know the answers to his questions, the truth was that he wasn't sure it was manipulation because there was still a tiny chance that he would choose to investigate that way, depending on the circumstances.
But he had noticed something else, and that was the power of his punches in those attacks.
'It's not my current power, I'm sure. Having awakened the ability to see everything at the Atom level has given me a better vision in terms of attack power, and there's no way that I, at that point, haven't used all my power.'
To understand the context, he had, more or less, 80,600 power right now. If he used the sword shown there, his power would be over 96,000. But in the battles on these paths of destiny, he didn't look like he had a power close to 100,000.
It looked more like a power close to 90,000.
'Why? Is there something I'm missing? Could it be that someone is manipulating my destiny? Or am I just being paranoid?'
But, no matter how hard he tried to think, it all came to nothing. He couldn't find an answer to what his mind was asking him, as he didn't have much information. He didn't know the destination, and maybe he was just being paranoid.
So, he started to analyze all that in more detail and sighed after a few hours of analysis.
"I got it, Mei. You can stop using the ability. I have to go back to the Allen Clan."
Shortly after, Mei deactivated her ability, and everything returned to normal. She felt a headache, though. "It's tough to see your fate, but even when I see it, I feel like I'm seeing a fate that's too shallow. It doesn't feel like the you I'm seeing." She replied.
Matt looked at her momentarily and held those words in his mind, determined to test later regarding this. 'Maybe I should get Sophia Murphy's help too.' He thought.
After a few words, Matthew returned to his world.
He had seen a destination that interested him, but it would not follow his same path. It would lead him to meet a really powerful person who could turn the tables within his current plan, so he put together a new plan of a way to meet him that would not follow his destiny.
Later, after finishing healing his body, he leaves where he is hiding and runs to the City of the Allen, but not before sending a message to Isla and Alice to keep an eye out for his possible call.
And after traveling for quite a while, he arrived at Clan Allen, where numerous people greeted him, though he had already planned to meet Gray Allen, so he didn't pay too much attention to anything or anyone else.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to come see me so soon." Gray said, motioning for him to sit down.
"I have several things to talk to you about."
"Tell me, as the new Clan Leader, I must listen to you."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"I read that you intend to take control of this entire region, including the Clan City region and other Cities belonging to the Academy."
Gray Allen frowned suddenly. "I'm not surprised that you read it, but the fact that you come here means that you have a plan regarding that."
Matthew nodded. "I do have a plan. And as long as you help me with all your might, I can be 80% sure it will succeed." He replied.
"Oh? 80% sure is a big number, but I don't tend to take such big risks now that I run the Clan. Where does the other 20% go?" Gray asked, and Matt smiled.
"If you look at all the variables, there is never a plan that is 100% certain. But, in this case, the other 20% actually is that it will fail, but I'll still be able to get us both to the one place that interests you in this whole region." He replied.
Gray Allen frowned once again. "You seem to know a lot of things, kid."
"I'm interested in that place too, and I think I know a few things about it, so I can understand the reasons why you want it. If you help me, at least once, you'll get in there, and if all goes well, you'll be able to do it forever. But, I won't accept half-hearted help." Matt replied, making his position clear.
Gray Allen looked very thoughtful after hearing this; after 10 minutes, he spoke again. "Before that, you told me several things about the Human Empire and the Vampire Prosperity Organization. Is what you said real?" He asked.
"Didn't Alice tell you? Everything I said is real. And you should know that Clan City still has people from that place." Matt replied.
Gray nodded a little and, five minutes later, got up. "I'll help you; I'll move the whole Clan if I have to. Though actually you can already do that, this time you're going to get my full backing," he replied.
This surprised Matt. 'So easy? A decision as risky as that, he took it just like that, despite knowing it could meddle the whole clan? This man...' Matt smiled and nodded at him, but before he spoke, Gray turned around.
"Follow me." He said and started walking.
After walking for a while and going down to a basement, Gray Allen opened a door with many high-security locks and smiled. "This place I have called the Library of Vengeance. Here is all the information I have researched on many powerful forces, with whom I have enmity, although I have also researched more neutral ones."
Matt walked in and saw many handmade books and documents.
There were some with fresh ink, others sorted by shelves with dust on them, and others beginning to be written.
It was a lot of books.
Gray Allen grabbed one of them. "Kid, you're welcome to read all you want, though try to focus on the ones from Clan City, as they'll give you a lot of information. I am gambling a lot this time, and I have my reasons for doing so, but try to make the plan you are formulating as perfect as possible.
If my Clan loses this time, you will lose all the backing you have in this world because the Beckers are not weak, and they already hate you." Gray said, smiling. He turned around, handed the book to Matt, and patted his shoulder.
"I trust you, boy. Show me why the Dietrich Clan was so powerful in the past." After saying this, he walked away and went outside.
Matt was very surprised, but he smiled. 'This man, it looks like even his subordinates have been fooled by him.' He thought, but he didn't give the matter too much thought. He started reading immediately.
Information is power, after all.
