Chapter 22: Edward's 'Genuine' Account_3

Edward spoke, suddenly denying his own previous words, then a look of realization dawned on his face.

"I've always wondered why I suddenly accessed 'Mystical Side's' special knowledge when I found out about that thing; it turns out this was all your arrangement."

"You gained access to 'Mystical Side's' special knowledge even earlier than I did, and besides, your Talent is quite extraordinary, so naturally, you discovered that thing."

"Regarding that matter, you felt fear in your heart just like I did."

"So, you also started to seek self-preservation."

"Unfortunately, even though your Talent is great, you don't have enough 'wealth' to collect or buy more materials; therefore, you needed someone who was equally tormented by fear but extremely rich. Then, you chose me."

"So that's it!"

Edward took a deep breath, his gaze filled with wariness as he looked at Jason's back.

He had never imagined that everything about himself was merely someone else's scheme.
