Chapter 672: Chapter 362 “Bluff” and “Leave” (Ask for Subscription)_2

Of course, if they knew that Milton Cheney’s words were entirely a bluff based on information asymmetry, they would probably be so mad they might even vomit blood.

But these were things they could never know.

Unless Milton Cheney said so himself, otherwise they would never know that they were being bluffed.

“I must say, you’ve successfully persuaded me,”

“Giving up on making a move against you does not mean that Tustin Realm Master has lost interest in you. Perhaps at some moment in the future, the Realm Master coming to visit you may not be the three of us.”

The White Robe World Master looked deeply at Milton Cheney and spoke.

After their final deliberation, the three Realm Masters chose to temporarily shelve their plans to make a move against Milton Cheney.

But this only meant that the three Realm Masters were no longer pursuing him for the time being.

It didn’t mean that they wouldn’t in the future, nor did it mean that Tustin Realm Master wouldn’t personally seek out Milton Cheney.

The White Robe World Master made no attempt to hide his intentions in his words, for there was no need to.

He wasn’t worried that Milton Cheney might run away after hearing these words. After all, as long as Milton Cheney didn’t leave the World Sea Region, there was no place he could escape to that they couldn’t find him, making running away meaningless.

Milton Cheney was naturally aware of this, but it still couldn’t hide the surprise in his heart at this moment.

Did he really bluff them?

Milton Cheney had truly not expected that a few words from him would dispel the considerations that these three Realm Masters had held for millions of years.

It seemed he had thought too complexly.

Or perhaps the bargaining chip offered by Tustin Realm Master wasn’t enough.

After all, if Tustin Realm Master were truly that interested in him, he could have come to find Milton Cheney himself.

Since Tustin Realm Master did not do so, it suggested that while he might be somewhat interested in Milton Cheney, his interest was certainly not significant.

Of course, at the level of Tustin Realm Master, it would not be surprising for him to do anything.

“A wise decision,”

Milton Cheney said with a light smile, as if everything was within his expectations.

But in reality, Milton Cheney had not anticipated this outcome at all, and even before this, he had not expected such a turn of events.

He had thought it would be a great battle, or at least a hard-fought one.

But the result was a peaceful resolution, which was indeed a bit of a dramatic twist.

It was completely unexpected.

When the White Robe World Master heard Milton Cheney’s words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say much more.

Giving up on acting against Milton Cheney also meant that the million-year experiences of the three Realm Masters had gone to waste and were utterly meaningless.

Under such circumstances, it would be odd if they were in a good mood.

Of course, over the years, they had not been without gains, having at least scratched the surface of some of Milton Cheney’s identity.

If Milton Cheney had not spoken up, they would never have understood him so well.

However, the misconceptions they had in their minds likely wouldn’t concern Milton Cheney too much if he knew about them.

“Since we have given up on acting against you, shouldn’t you also reveal your true identity to us?”

After a moment of silence, the White Robe World Master spoke.

Although he had already speculated about Milton Cheney’s identity, speculation was just speculation.

If Milton Cheney personally revealed his identity, the credibility would undoubtedly be higher, and they would have a proper reason to report back to Tustin Realm Master after returning to the Tide Realm.

Even though Tustin Realm Master was not that interested in Milton Cheney, the three of them had, after all, promised Tustin Realm Master they would take action.

Having made a promise but failing to fulfill it, there had to be a reason.

Otherwise, it would not only be a wasted effort, but they could also anger Tustin Realm Master, with whom they had previously had a good relationship.

So even though they were temporarily not ready to act against Milton Cheney, they still wanted to know more about his specific identity.

Beyond that, curiosity was certainly at play.

After all, Milton Cheney wasn’t the master of the Tide Realm, yet he seemed to have an incredible understanding of it, which was in itself an astonishing matter.

The ordinary demons of the Abyssal Domain would definitely not be privy to such information.

Not to mention having such knowledge, even within the Abyssal Domain, those aware of the World Sea Region were few and far between.

“True identity?” Milton Cheney chuckled lightly, “Haven’t you already guessed it? Why would you need me to tell you directly?”

Milton Cheney did not directly admit anything.

He did not want to lie, even though he knew that if he did, these three Realm Masters wouldn’t be able to detect any clues.

But Milton Cheney still chose to play coy.

After all, nothing convinces people more than letting them guess and fill in the blanks themselves, which sometimes can seem even more real.

This perceived reality could even be stronger than if Milton Cheney had said it himself.

Because things said out loud can still be lies, but conclusions one arrives at on their own don’t share this issue, they can only be wrong guesses, which is a personal shortcoming, not that of Milton Cheney.

As for misleading?

Sorry, Milton Cheney wouldn’t admit to that.

As his words fell, the White Robe World Master nodded thoughtfully.

The expressions of the two Realm Masters beside him had by then turned placid as well.

It seemed as if the White Robe World Master was the sole one interacting with Milton Cheney, but in reality, he represented the thoughts of all three of them.

After all, the three had been secretly communicating with each other all along.

But Milton Cheney had already guessed this, and of course, he didn’t mind.

Whether it was three Realm Masters or just one didn’t make a difference to him.

The three Realm Masters all stared intently at Milton Cheney, as if trying to etch the memory of this secret-laden man who had wasted millions of their years into their minds.

The next moment, they disappeared from Milton Cheney’s sight.

Gone.

Within the Void, Milton Cheney murmured to himself.

This really was a case of not expecting the willows to bloom, yet the willows formed a shade on their own.

He had waited in the Ancestral Witch World for the three Realm Masters to act, yet they chose to lure him into the Void to take action against him.

In the end, they gave up on their million-year wait just because of his few words.

Although it seemed unbelievable, sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.

Of course, it wasn’t these three Realm Masters’ fault.

The primary reason Milton Cheney could bluff the three Realm Masters into not taking action with just a few words was because what he said exceeded the expectations of his status.

In the eyes of the three Realm Masters, he was merely a native of the Wizard Realm.

But the words he spoke couldn’t possibly be known by a mere native of the Wizard Realm.

So with their preconceived notions, the three Realm Masters filled in his ‘true identity’ on their own.

Little did they know they had fallen into a cognitive trap.

And all Milton Cheney did was play a simple game of exploiting information asymmetry.

“Sometimes, the more you know, the more powerful you become.”

At that moment, something stirred in Milton Cheney’s heart, as if he comprehended something.

Actually, he had understood this point a long time ago.

That’s why every time he reincarnated into a new world, it wasn’t solely for the purpose of advancing his Realm.

Sometimes, even without any advancements in Realm during his Reincarnation Simulations, he felt enormously benefited.

Because it was all about the benefits he received.

After all, what Reincarnation Simulation preserved wasn’t just the Realm, but also the memories.

Sometimes, the help provided by retained memories was even greater than that provided by retaining Realm for Milton Cheney.

This strength wasn’t just manifested in the body, but in other respects as well.

For instance, if Milton Cheney didn’t have knowledge about the Tide Realm, he would certainly have been at a disadvantage and would have probably already ended this True Body Simulation.

But as he was informed, he could use this information to create an information gap, making the three Realm Masters puzzled about him.

That’s the importance of information.

Milton Cheney had been aware of this before, but now his understanding had deepened.

The next moment, Milton Cheney laughed softly, his figure disappearing into the Void.

For the time being, at least, he no longer needed to worry about entanglements from the Tide Realm.

The likelihood of Tustin Realm Master taking personal action against him was actually very slim.
