The Author's POV

Chapter 516

"He's going to be crucial for when we escape?"

My interest was immediately piqued when I heard his words.

In an attempt to quench my curiosity, I asked.

"Who exactly is he?"

But my other self simply shook his head.

"You will find out once you challenge him."

"Haaa..."

Closing my eyes, I let out a long sigh. As usual, he would always leave out the more important details for later.

What a terrible habit.

"...So I won't be fighting against the current emperor?"

"Not yet."

A narrow grin spread across my other self's face as he replied.

"If you were to fight him right now, you would only end up losing."

"Hmm...?"

Involuntarily, my brows furrowed as I tilted my head.

"You serious?"

"...Yeah."

Processing the information, my eyes closed.

'So another one who is stronger than me...'

Honestly, I was quite troubled by his apparent confidence in his prediction of my inevitable defeat against the present emperor.

It just didn't sit tight with me.

Was I just that competitive? Wasn't too sure.

"Huuu..."

With my eyes closed and letting out a short breath, I inquired about the current Emperor.

"For you to say what you said, the Emperor must be incredibly strong."

"...Sort of."

My other self replied.

In a tight brow furrow, I stared.

"Sort of? What do you mean?"

"He may be strong, but that isn't the reason why I am saying that you will lose against him if you two fought."

"...Continue."

Taking in more of what he was saying, my ears perked up. I had a feeling that his next words were going to be extremely important.

"The games are rigged. SilverStar, the current Emperor will be made the next Overlord in the next match."

"What?"

And I wasn't wrong as his follow up made my eyes shoot wide open.

"Hold on, what are you talking about? Doesn't Edward still have over thirty matches left before he gains freedom? Shouldn't he still be fine?"

"You're right."

My other self gave a short nod.

"But there are two main fundamental reasons for this action. The first reason you should already know."
