End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

In the heart of the capital, at the Lannisters' hall.

All the members of the Lannister family had gathered for a grand funeral. The subject of the ceremony was, of course, Kean's cousin—his uncle's son.

Everyone's expression was deeply sorrowful, but there was an undercurrent of hidden motives beneath the surface. Only Kean's uncle appeared truly heartbroken. He had not only lost his son but also his heir. The more serious consequence was that he now had to choose a new successor from among the other relatives.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The most widely accepted candidate to become the Lannisters' next heir was Kean. On one hand, he was widely recognized as a genius; on the other, he was the closest in bloodline.

However, Kean's uncle had yet to make a final decision. The head of the Lannister family still resided with Kean's grandfather, meaning that Kean's uncle had not officially assumed the position of family head.

The grand funeral eventually reached its conclusion. Afterward, the Lannisters gathered to discuss who should take up the role of successor.

Kean's uncle remained silent during the discussion, seemingly still mourning his lost son. Kean also said nothing, feeling that he didn't need to speak. The discussion continued without any immediate conclusion, but the majority seemed to have no objections to Kean being named the successor.

After the meeting ended, Kean chose to leave alone.

Upon returning to his home, the butler, Farmer, greeted him with an unusually obsequious tone.

"Sir, you've finally returned! I was beginning to think you had encountered a serious danger recently. I nearly went out to look for you myself."

Kean snorted coldly at the remark.

He knew very well that his butler had been in contact with his uncle. And Kean was certain that Farmer was not completely on his side. It was even possible that the butler had been covertly plotting against him all along.

However, the current situation was very favorable for Kean.

Kean did not want any unforeseen circumstances to arise.

Thus, a mocking smile appeared on his face as he replied with a calm yet slightly sarcastic tone, "It's true that I've encountered some danger recently. But you wouldn't be able to help me get rid of it. I can only rely on my own strength to escape these threats."

Upon hearing this, Butler Farmer immediately responded, "You're absolutely right, Sir! After all, you are a genius! The power you possess is far beyond what we can even imagine! If you can't deal with the danger yourself, then our efforts would be pointless."

Butler Farmer was clearly doing his best to gain Kean's trust.

Kean smiled and nodded, clearly satisfied with Farmer's response.

"Master, where are you planning to go next? Will you be returning to your villa in the suburbs, or are you going to the city center?" Farmer asked, clearly concerned about Kean's next move.

Kean didn't intend to hide his plans. After all, for the time being, there was no need to take any action.

The Son of the Sun and The Person in the Mirror had already hidden themselves away. Without their cooperation, Kean's actions were unlikely to achieve any meaningful results.

Kean decided that for the time being, he would maintain his connections in the capital. At the very least, he would meet with his friends.

Although Kean was an extremely proud person, he still had some friends.

"I'm not going back to the villa in the suburbs," Kean said. "Too much has happened recently, and I feel the villa there is no longer safe. Go and collect all the daily necessities from the villa for me."

Kean gave the butler his orders.

Farmer immediately set off to carry out the task, leaving Kean to his thoughts. Once Farmer was gone, Kean made his way alone to the heart of the capital.

After Kean left, Butler Farmer once again dialed Kean's uncle's number.

"How is the situation? Has he shown any unusual behavior? Is he desperately trying to become the heir to the Lannisters now?"

Kean's uncle's voice came through the phone. It was much colder than before, his tone completely devoid of emotion, as though all feelings had vanished.

"Butler Farmer replied, "Master, he hasn't shown any signs of abnormal behavior. He hasn't mentioned anything about the heirship. He only said he needed to go to the city center to meet some friends."

Kean's uncle, upon hearing this, seemed slightly reassured.

"I understand. Keep watching him closely. Do not let him get into any kind of trouble. Though he has not yet become the heir to the Lannisters, he is already the most important person in the family."

After saying this, Kean's uncle hung up the phone.

Butler Farmer's expression tightened, a sense of inner conflict creeping in. He couldn't help but feel uncertain about his own fate. There was something in the back of his mind telling him that Kean had not forgiven him.

Just as Farmer was lost in thought, his phone rang again.

This time, it was Kean calling.

"After you collect my things, make sure to thoroughly clean the villa in the city center. I'll be staying there for the time being," Kean instructed.

"Rest assured, sir, everything will be handled perfectly! I will clean the villa thoroughly and quickly!" Butler Farmer responded enthusiastically.

Once the call ended, Farmer quickly got to work. Meanwhile, Kean was already plotting his next moves.

His ambitions had grown far more inflated than before.

Kean now truly believed that he was the rightful heir to the Lannisters.

Kean no longer believed that he should simply control the Lannisters—he now felt he should control the entire Federation.

"The high-ranking officials of the Federation are truly foolish. If they are allowed to retain such immense power, the Federation will inevitably face complete destruction. We must take action," Kean said with a smile, addressing the group in front of him.

The people in front of Kean were a mix of scions from prominent families and gifted players from the apocalypse game. Kean had gathered them to build a stronger force for himself.

These individuals were all deeply dissatisfied with the powerful figures in the Federation. They believed that the series of crises facing the capital were entirely the result of the incompetence of the Federation's leaders.

"So what should we do? These high-ranking figures will never give up their power willingly. Perhaps we should take more forceful measures," one of them proposed directly.

Kean looked at him with approving eyes.

"You're right. The powerful figures in the Federation will never relinquish their power. That's why we must show them that they no longer have the right to control such immense power," Kean replied.

Kean had already devised a plan of action. Since the military headquarters wouldn't be able to return to its previous state in the short term, he and his group could take advantage of the Federation's temporary weakness and make the high-ranking officials pay a heavy price.

Kean even believed that with the help of The Son of the Sun and The Person in the Mirror, he could completely seize control of the Federation's leadership and the military headquarters.

At that time, Kean would not only be able to exact his revenge on Jeremy, but he could even ruin Jeremy and his friends, ensuring their names were tarnished forever.

Although Kean had already devised some plans, he wasn't ready to put them into action just yet. Kean remained very calm.

He knew he had to wait for a more advantageous moment. At the very least, he needed to have full control over the Lannisters before he had enough leverage to take further steps.

"The timing is not yet right," Kean said with a smile, addressing the group. "We need to be patient. Once those high-ranking figures in the Federation have made the situation so bad that it's beyond repair, we will have every right to take action."

The people in front of him fully believed in Kean's promise. They knew that such an operation would come with immense risks, but they all agreed that, if successful, the rewards would be great.

After discussing matters with the group for a while, Kean dismissed most of them. After all, the majority of them didn't have particularly strong abilities. Kean had gathered them just to give the impression of being an influential leader, someone capable of rallying people to his cause.

Once most of the people had left, only a few remained. These were the powerful ones, the ones with exceptionally high talent, mostly from the apocalypse game.

"You should understand why I kept you here," Kean said to them. "Your strength is formidable, and with your help, I will be able to clear the instances around the capital."

If Jeremy had heard this, he would have been shocked. In Jeremy's view, Kean was an extremely selfish person. He shouldn't be focused on eliminating the instances around the capital, because it provided no immediate benefit to him.

The reason Kean wanted to do this was that he was looking to build his reputation. He wanted everyone to see him as a person of responsibility and power. This way, when the time came to seize control of the Federation's leadership, it would be much easier for him to gain support.
