Bethel Abraham watched Amon leave, feeling a subtle emotion.
Is this what it feels like to torment others? It seems... kind of fun?
Mr. Door was on the verge of being corrupted.
Lynn was satisfied with this scene, feeling that his efforts were effective. If Mr. Door could grasp the essence of being a trickster, he would make a good accomplice in tormenting others.
Lynn believed that, given Mr. Door's nature, even if he became a trickster, his bottom line would still be much higher than that of Amon. Just like Klein, who, even after becoming a Miracle Invoker with increased mischief, still acted with restraint.
This made Mr. Door perfect for handing over the tools when Lynn tormented others.
"By the way..." Lynn suddenly remembered something, looking at Mr. Door, he asked, "Tudor should know about my existence now, right? Although he probably thinks I'm your child... Do you think there's a chance he'll summon me when we return to the Tudor Empire?"
As he said this, Lynn felt eager.
"There's indeed a high chance that His Majesty will summon you," Bethel Abraham confirmed Lynn's suspicion, then hesitantly asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Nothing much, just want to meet this bold pathway jumper. After all, those who jumped pathways have always been few, and someone like Tudor who jumped from Sequence 1 to another pathway's Sequence 0 successfully is even rarer," Lynn said with a smile, looking genuinely interested without showing any flaw.
Bethel Abraham's brow twitched because he suddenly remembered that the young man before him once said Medici called him brother.
And Medici died at the hands of Alista Tudor.
Although Bethel Abraham didn't directly participate in that event, merely watching from the sidelines, he still knew some of the details.
At this moment, Bethel Abraham was very worried about Tudor's safety.
After all, a person who could easily defeat a Tree of Desire might find it easy to kill a Sequence 0 who isn't in great condition.
"I'm not that ruthless, just planning to beat him up a bit," Lynn said suddenly, causing Bethel Abraham to doubt if he had accidentally spoken his thoughts aloud.
"No, you didn't speak your thoughts, but your expression was too obvious," Lynn said with a smile, glancing at the nearby air before continuing, "And my condition isn't that good."
Indeed, he wouldn't kill Tudor for Medici's revenge, as the cost was too high. Tudor represented more than just himself. It wasn't something Lynn could achieve by borrowing Sequence 0-level power. The higher-level cost was too much for Lynn to bear.
Lynn had no assurance of maintaining his self after borrowing power beyond his limit again. Each time he borrowed power from his main body, it became increasingly difficult to maintain his own state afterward.
So, Lynn thought it was enough to retrieve Little Red from history and beat up Tudor a bit to vent his anger for Little Red. As for the rest, he would let Little Red handle it. He wouldn't overstep his bounds here.
So if you were in good condition, you'd go for it... Bethel Abraham controlled his expression and, after thinking for a while, said seriously, "His Majesty rarely leaves the palace. It's not easy to ambush him."
Lynn looked at Mr. Door with a subtle expression, "I thought you would righteously denounce my plan to ambush him. Aren't you loyal to Tudor?"
"Because I know I can't stop you or change your mind," Bethel Abraham said, "As for loyalty... our relationship with Tudor is more about mutual benefit. There is some camaraderie, so if you wanted to kill him, I would try to stop you, though I doubt I'd succeed."
"But if you just want to beat him up for Medici, I won't stop you. Actually, His Majesty often beat us up to mediate between Amon, Antigonus, and me," Bethel said, maintaining a serious and solemn expression.
"Goodness, you're quite the dark horse..." Lynn looked at Mr. Door as if discovering a new continent. He always knew Mr. Door wasn't naïve, but the other party's usual serious demeanor made it hard to realize his hidden dark side.
"I am just stating facts," Bethel's expression remained unchanged, his tone still very serious.
"Okay, I get it. So Bethel, you're saying you'll help me ambush Tudor?" Lynn smiled.
Bethel Abraham remained silent for two seconds before seriously nodding, "I can provide some help."
He wasn't doing it for revenge; he was just worried that without supervision, Lynn might accidentally kill Tudor.
With me there, I can at least help Tudor escape if things get out of hand... Bethel Abraham thought.
Of course, if things don't get out of hand, he wouldn't mind landing a few more hits himself.
Not out of revenge, just a slip of the hand.
"If you plan to beat up His Majesty, how about taking me along? I can offer some necessary help," Amon's voice suddenly appeared.
Lynn wasn't surprised, he just looked at him, smiled, and nodded, "Sure!"
He wasn't surprised by Amon's involvement and could guess his reasons.
"Actually, we can also invite Antigonus. He's been wanting to beat up His Majesty for a long time," Amon suggested, adjusting his crystal monocle.
Amon wanted to join this ambush partly to settle old scores, partly to test Lynn's strength, and partly to distract Lynn while gaining more of his trust.
Inviting Antigonus was naturally to share the blame.
Amon wasn't lying; Antigonus indeed held grudges over being beaten up and had long wanted to retaliate.
"Little Ant..." Lynn recalled seeing Antigonus in the Second Epoch, his eyes showing interest.
He wondered if the other remembered him. Probably not, given the chaos of the battlefield. Antigonus might not have noticed him and Medici hiding nearby.
Not that he cared.
Alista Tudor probably couldn't imagine that his most trusted lieutenants would, under someone's suggestion, quickly agree to ambush him.
Indeed, the three families were loyal beyond words!
