End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 375

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Revenge Must Be Taken
Although Jeremy’s actions were swift, the Sun, wielding its godlike power, swiftly shattered Mortal Combat’s special space.

If Jeremy hadn’t stepped through the portal in time, he might not have been able to escape at all.

The overwhelming power of the Sun had nearly claimed Jeremy’s life.

Although he managed to escape through a portal at the last moment, it took Jeremy half a day to regain consciousness.

When his mind finally cleared, he realized he was back in Moonlight City.

“I opened a portal leading to Moonlight City? In the chaos, did I unintentionally enhance my King of Time and Space ability? My talent is stronger now than it was before,” Jeremy thought to himself, astonished.

He hadn’t expected that, even in the midst of crisis, he would experience a strengthening of his power.

Although this was something to be pleased about, Jeremy had more pressing matters to attend to.

Even though he had barely escaped the enemy’s trap, Bonnie was still in their hands.

Jeremy felt a deep sense of responsibility—he had to rescue Bonnie and exact his revenge on Kean and the others.

However, Jeremy knew that he couldn’t achieve revenge on his own.

He needed to consider who might become his allies.

The Goddess of Life and the God of War were powerful beings who could surely aid him.

But since these deities existed within specific instances, Jeremy would need to carefully prepare summoning rituals to secure their help.

Beyond these two deities, Jeremy could also turn to his companions for assistance.

Unfortunately, aside from Ritchie, the rest of his comrades were not particularly strong.

Even Ritchie, as capable as he was, had a power gap compared to Jeremy, let alone Kean.

If Ritchie and the others couldn’t provide sufficient support, Jeremy’s only option would be to seek help from Liam and Howard.

However, to ask for their help, Jeremy would have to reveal to Benjamin that Bonnie had been captured by the enemy. Benjamin would undoubtedly be furious upon hearing this.

After a period of deliberation, Jeremy ultimately decided to tell Benjamin everything.

When Jeremy appeared before Benjamin, the latter was visibly shocked.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in the capital? Why have you returned to Moonlight City?” Benjamin asked, his tone filled with surprise.

Benjamin quickly noticed that something was very off about Jeremy’s demeanor.

He could tell right away that Jeremy was about to deliver some truly bad news.

When he realized that Jeremy had not returned with Bonnie, Benjamin began to piece things together. He was certain that Bonnie must have encountered significant danger.

Before Jeremy could speak, Benjamin cut straight to the point.

“Bonnie’s in trouble, isn’t she? You’ve come back to Moonlight City to seek help and figure out how to rescue her, haven’t you?”

Jeremy stared at Benjamin in disbelief.

He couldn’t understand how Benjamin had managed to guess the situation so accurately.

Seeing the change in Jeremy’s expression, Benjamin knew his assumption was correct.

Benjamin pressed further, asking, “What exactly happened to her?”

“She’s been captured by Kean and the Person in the Mirror. They plan to use Bonnie as a hostage to threaten me. Their goal is to exploit my powers to resurrect one of the masterminds behind the Apocalypse Game, the Sun!”

Jeremy laid out all the information he had, leaving nothing unsaid.

After hearing everything, Benjamin’s expression didn’t change much.

He responded calmly, “Have you told anyone else about this? If not, don’t for now. Let me first consult with the capital. If the capital is willing to deploy a strong enough force to rescue Bonnie, then you won’t need to worry about it anymore.”

Jeremy didn’t oppose Benjamin’s plan.

He knew that the White Family held considerable influence within the federal government.

If the White Family could truly leverage the federal forces to rescue Bonnie, there was no reason for him to object.

So Jeremy responded evenly, “If you can truly find a way to rescue Bonnie, I would, of course, be overjoyed. But I want you to understand this: no matter what plan you come up with, I want to be part of the operation to save Bonnie.”

Jeremy’s tone was firm as he spoke these words.

Benjamin had no intention of rejecting his request.

He understood that someone like Jeremy would never back down so easily.

Benjamin nodded in agreement.

“Of course, no problem at all! You’re welcome to join every step of the operation! In fact, I believe your involvement will make things run much more smoothly,” Benjamin said firmly.

After saying this, Benjamin began making phone calls to his contacts.

He made a flurry of calls one after another.

Jeremy stood silently by his side, observing the changes in Benjamin’s expression.

At first, Benjamin’s face remained relaxed and confident.

But as he continued to make more calls, his expression grew darker and more troubled.

By the time he finished the last call, Benjamin’s face was grim.

“The capital is unable to offer much help,” Benjamin said slowly, his gaze distant and empty. “They’re facing significant troubles of their own. On top of that, the White Family has been severely undermined by our rivals.”

Jeremy didn’t react immediately; he simply waited for Benjamin to continue.

After a moment, Benjamin turned his eyes to Jeremy.

“Since I can’t do anything to rescue Bonnie, I’ll leave everything to you. I believe Liam and Howard can be of assistance. Besides them, you should also involve your companions in this operation.”

This was exactly what Jeremy had been waiting to hear.

Hearing Benjamin’s words, Jeremy nodded firmly.

“No problem at all! I’ll immediately begin formulating a plan to rescue Bonnie. I promise you, within a week, Bonnie will be safe again,” Jeremy declared resolutely.

With those words, he turned and left without hesitation.

On his way out, Jeremy dialed Liam’s number.

During the call, Jeremy relayed everything that had happened in the capital.

After listening to the full account, Liam sighed deeply.

“I warned you before: the capital isn’t a stable place. Heading there always comes with unexpected challenges. But since Bonnie is in danger, of course I’ll help you. When can you get to the Special Situations Bureau?”

“Now!”

Liam heard the same word in two places at once: one voice came from his phone, and the other came from outside his office door.

He was startled to see Jeremy standing right there in his office.

“What’s the situation exactly? What kind of enemies are we going to face during this mission? The Special Situations Bureau has a wide range of weapons and tools—we’ll need to carefully select what we’ll use,” Liam said, quickly recovering from his surprise.

The shock didn’t last long. Liam knew the priority now was rescuing Bonnie, so he immediately began discussing the operation plan with Jeremy.

“Our enemies possess powers with a variety of attributes,” Jeremy explained. “We need to focus on selecting universal weapons and tools that can adapt to different scenarios.”

This left Liam puzzled.

“How is that possible? Are the planners of the Apocalypse Game really capable of such seamless coordination?” Liam asked. He had never encountered anything like this before.

Jeremy shook his head.

“The planners of the Apocalypse Game can’t coordinate that closely. But that doesn’t mean our enemies can’t utilize the powers possessed by different planners,” Jeremy clarified.

Liam quickly understood.

The two of them spent a long time combing through the Special Situations Bureau’s arsenal.

In the end, they selected five different pieces of equipment.

While not all of the items were designed for combat, each had a critical function that could prove highly useful in their mission.

“Other than the two of us, who else will be involved in this mission? General Howard probably won’t join us directly—he has too many other responsibilities. But I’m sure he’ll send his best troops to support us,” Liam said bluntly, offering his analysis.

Jeremy hadn’t made up his mind yet.

He hadn’t informed General Howard about the situation, as his thoughts aligned with Liam’s.

Jeremy also believed it was unlikely that General Howard would join the mission personally.

“We don’t need General Howard’s help! The two of us, plus Ritchie, are already strong enough. The only reason I failed before was that I fell into the enemy’s trap. Now that we’re fully prepared, I will absolutely not fail again!”

Jeremy declared these words with unwavering determination.

Liam looked into Jeremy’s eyes, unsure of how to respond for a moment.

In Liam’s mind, Jeremy was undoubtedly a man of strong will.

But sometimes, too much determination could be a bad thing.

An excess of resolve could easily turn into stubbornness.

“Do you really think the three of us alone can succeed? I think we still need more help,” Liam asked cautiously, testing Jeremy’s resolve.

Jeremy’s tone remained firm as he replied, “I want you to believe in me, and I want you to believe in yourself! Our strength is more than enough! There will be no unexpected situations!”
