Despite his irritation, Jared couldn't turn down a chance to see Arthur. Mr. Sanders told me he only had one month to live, and it's already nearly one month since then. I should see how he's doing!
Jared followed Xavier to the Department of Justice and into Arthur's office. Upon arriving, Xavier left tactfully.
“Have a seat,” Arthur said when he saw Jared.
Jared sized Arthur up and noticed how healthy the latter looked. Mr. Sanders' aura seems stable, and he doesn't look sick. As a matter of fact, he doesn't look like he's dying!
“Mr. Sanders, you look very healthy. One month is almost up, no? That means you should be fine, right?” Jared asked.
“Who told you I would die of illness?” Arthur chuckled.
“Huh? How will you die, then? You're strong enough to defeat anyone in the mundane world. No one is capable of killing you, right?” Jared asked.
“Haha! Well, it's true that no one in the mundane world is capable of killing me. However, it's my fate. When the time comes, I'll meet my maker.” Arthur laughed.
Jared was confused when he saw Arthur laughing. How can Mr. Sanders still laugh? Is he not afraid of dying?
“Mr. Sanders, since you already know when you're dying, why don't you defy your destiny? Can't you just stay put on that fateful day?” Jared questioned.
Arthur shook his head in response. “That's my destiny, though. If I don't die that day, chaos will be brought upon the world, and others will die. Sometimes, we should just accept our fate.”
Jared was rendered speechless. I don't get it. Destiny? What did Mr. Sanders mean by that? Why will chaos be brought upon the world if he lives on?
