Manfred had started considering his retirement from the jianghu a long time ago. That was because, at the end of this path, it would definitely be a dark place. Furthermore, most people like him would not come to a good end. In order to have a peaceful late years, Manfred hoped that he would be able to enter the gray world.
However, in the world, people would be helpless sometimes. The Manfred wasn't someone who could retreat at will. He had too many enemies. Once he left this position, those enemies would definitely seek revenge on him. At that time, Manfred wouldn't be able to fight back at all.
Subduing himself from the world had a first priority, which was to hand over everything he had to a person he could trust completely. Furthermore, this person had to ensure his safety after he left.
It was a pity that there was no such person by Manfred's side. Thus, retreating from the jianghu was just an idea.
Manfred had never told anyone about this idea. Thus, when Samuel said these words, he was especially shocked.
"You... what are you talking about?" Manfred feigned a confused expression as he asked Samuel.
Samuel lightly smiled. It was not a strange thing for Manfred to hide it from him. After all, the impact of this matter was extremely huge. Manfred would definitely not be willing to let this kind of news leak out so easily. Otherwise, his opponent would definitely be plotting in secret.
"I can tell you that I'm someone you can trust," Samuel said. "As far as I'm concerned, the reason I know your thoughts is because in the future, you'll really do something like this, and you'll regret it."
He would do that in the future?
How could he know what would happen in the future? Did he still have the ability to predict the future?
Manfred had never believed in ghosts and gods. Therefore, in his opinion, Samuel’s words were nothing more than a joke. Perhaps, he was just casually making speculations.
"Why would I regret it?" Manfred asked with a smile.
"Because the woman you love most died in the hands of your former subordinate," Samuel said lightly.
Manfred was even more unable to conceal the smile on his face. This was because right now, there were no real women around him. Furthermore, from Manfred's point of view, what Samuel said was impossible.
"Do you know, people like me don't deserve to have love? I have many women by my side, how could I give up the entire forest just for a tree?" Manfred said.
"You will do it in the future. However, I have to remind you that you must not give up your current status no matter what. Otherwise, you will regret it." Samuel said.
Even though Manfred was a little fearful of Samuel's identity, he did not want his thoughts to be disrupted by Samuel. Thus, he said, "I am the only one who can decide on my own life."
"Don’t you believe me?" Samuel turned around to Manfred as he raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Can you see the future?" Manfred asked in reply.
Samuel shook his head.
Manfred smiled and said, "Since you can’t see the future, what right do you have to know that I will regret it? Do you know what the end of this path means?"
"I can’t see the future," Samuel said. "But I’ve experienced it before. All of those things that I’ve been talking about have happened before. It’s just that everything has just happened again."
These words confused Manfred. Has he ever had a future?
What was the future?
Only the things that did not happen and the time were the future.
How could the future be experienced?
"Honestly speaking, I think that you should go to the hospital to take a look." Manfred thought that something must have cropped up in Samuel's mind, so he kindly reminded him.
Samuel smiled faintly. If anyone were to hear these words, they would react like Manfred. After all, it was human nature.
