Chapter 107: He Who Remains

Old Loki and Becca almost immediately agreed, seeming anxious as though they were worried Miss Minute would change her mind.

Old Loki took the lead and stepped into the time portal excitedly, with Becca following closely behind. Before entering, she paused for a moment and turned back to nod at Jack Wayne.

"It was an honor to fight alongside you, Jack Wayne."

"I feel the same way. Goodbye, Becca."

"Goodbye!"

With that, Becca turned around and stepped into the time portal without any regrets.

Only Jack, Sylvie, Loki, and Bucky were left on the castle. Loki was obviously tempted, but for some reason, he didn't step into the time portal.

Sylvie, on the other hand, had no intention of going back. Her goal was not to go back but to kill the Time Keepers who ruined her life.

As for Jack, he didn't believe anyone's promises, especially those of his enemies. No matter what, he had to meet the real Time Keeper.

As for Bucky, he was just following Jack Wayne.

"So, you guys aren't planning on going back?"

Miss Minutes looked at each of them, seemingly unsurprised and sighing. "Alright, he expected that. Follow me, he's waiting for you."

Miss Minutes turned into a beam of light and swung down the hall in an instant.

Jack glanced at the other three and shrugged, saying, "Alright, fools, let's go meet this Time-keeper."

He led the way down the hall, and everyone else quickly followed.

The hallway was completely dark and quiet. Only their quick steps and breaths broke the silence. It was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the wind.

At the end was a hall with four statues standing in the center, three of which were the TVA's three robots, while the last one had already been reduced to ruins.

The four of them paid no attention to the statues and looked at the wall on the opposite side of the hall.

"Click!"

The wall suddenly shook and then slowly slid open, revealing a small box that looked like an elevator, but there was no one inside.

"Hello."

Miss Minutes appeared just in time, pointing to the elevator and inviting them, "Please, he's waiting for you up there!"

When Jack and the other three looked at each other, they all knew what would happen next, but none of them gave up. One at a time, they got on the elevator.

As soon as all four of them were inside, the doors closed, and the elevator began to go up.

Sylvie seemed impatient, and Jack glanced at her, feeling a slight unease in his heart. He murmured, "I suddenly have a bad feeling about this."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, forget it."

He glanced at Bucky and asked, "Why didn't you return just now?"

"Oh, I couldn't leave you alone here. I was worried."

Bucky smiled and teased, "If I wasn't here, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle what's coming next."

"Ding"

Jack was about to retort, but the elevator had arrived. The doors slowly opened, and everyone looked out.

They were in a big hall with many bookshelves, a fireplace that was on fire, and candles. The light from outside came in through a glass, and the candles and fireplace made it brighter than the floor below.

There was a messy desk in front of the elevator. Papers were all over the floor and shelves, and books were all over the place.

At that moment, whispers came from behind the desk.

"Where is it? Where is it? How could it not be here? It's impossible that it's not here. I remember it being recorded. Oh my god, when was the last time I was so nervous?"

.....

They all look at each other and move toward the desk.

"Ha! I finally found it! I knew it was here!"

Suddenly, a cheer came from behind the office desk, followed by a loud bang, causing the entire desk to jump and a painful yell to sound from under it.

"Oh fucking table"

After a while, a man in a strange robe stood up with a thick book that was more than ten centimeters thick. Jack and the others looked at him strangely. He was still rubbing the back of his head, and the expression on his face showed how much it hurt.

'This guy was the Time-keeper?'

Not only did Jack think the same, but so did the other three. Compared to what they had in mind for the Time-keeper, this guy seemed to be stupid.

Jack even felt that this person was not as good as those three robots.

Even if it was just for show, those time-keepers at least had some style.

While everyone was silently making fun of him, the Time Keeper seemed to have just noticed their presence and looked at them in surprise. "How did you come so fast?"

"..."

Once again, the four people were speechless. Even Sylvie lowered her knife and suspected that this guy might be really stupid.

To avoid killing the wrong person, she decided to clarify. "Who are you?"

When the Time Keeper heard Sylvie's question, he was surprised. He then wrinkled his brows and thought for a moment before saying, "I have a lot of names. Which one do you want to know? The Ruler, The Conqueror, He Who Remains, jerk? But it is not as simple as a name."

Sylvie frowned and gripped the knife she was holding tighter. She suddenly put force into her feet, which caused her to rush to Kang and chop at his neck.

Kang seemed to be standing still, and the knife had already reached his neck. However, the next moment, the sword was missed. Kang appeared sitting on the sofa confidently, looking at Sylvie with a smirk: "Woah, a swing and a miss."

But the next second, the blow that was supposed to kill him missed.

Sylvie now confirmed his identity and was filled with anger. She chased after him with her sword, but Kang was always able to dodge in time, and Sylvie's sword hit the air every time.

"What's this?"

At this moment, Jack looked down and saw a piece of paper under his foot. He picked it up and glanced at it, his expression changed, and he looked at the other person suspiciously.

"Are you really a Time-keeper?"

Although it was a questioning tone, it was a positive tone because what was written on the paper was enough to make Jack believe.
