Chapter 280: Having a Backer and a Trump Card
Just as Vincent and Irene had come to an agreement, there was suddenly a knock on the door from outside.
Vincent turned to open the door, only to find a manager standing outside.
“Lord Fire Asura! The Ultimate Evil Lord wants to see you,” said the manager respectfully before leaving.
Vincent turned to look at Irene curiously as if he wanted to ask why the evil lord wanted him to go over. Irene spread her hands, indicating that these questions were not worth asking. This was because it was obvious that it was related to those creatures who wanted to cause trouble for Vincent. They had all squeezed into the Arena of Life and Death. The Ultimate Evil Lord was bound to call Vincent over to find out the truth.
Vincent sighed and said to Irene, “Alright, leave the rest to me! You go and settle our matters!”
Irene nodded. She then turned around and took out a bag from the cabinet. She packed all the dark crystal cards in her hands and walked to Vincent. She smiled at him and said, “I will definitely settle the things that you need me to do. You just have to deal with the following matters properly!”
After saying that, Irene walked out of the room in a carefree manner.
Vincent shook his head helplessly and went straight to the top floor of the Arena of Life and Death.
The Ultimate Evil Lord was sitting on the sofa. His expression was not good. He looked out of the window quietly, but he did not look in the direction of the arena.
Vincent walked forward and asked softly, “What’s the matter?”
The Ultimate Evil Lord raised his hand and pointed at the arena below. He said in a deep voice, “Go and take a look for yourself!”
Vincent walked forward and lowered his head to look. Then, he smiled bitterly.
At that moment, there was a group of familiar faces standing in the arena below. Vincent had seen most of them at the Ultimate Evil Lord’s banquet.
The creatures were all lining up to enter the arena. However, they were not entering the audience seats, but the arena itself!
“Where’s Fire Asura? Let him out, I want to fight him one-on-one!”
“Killing Robert is equivalent to cutting off our source of income. Today, we must seek an explanation from him!”
“Right, ask him to come out and challenge us one by one! Isn’t he said to be invincible in the Arena of Life and Death? We high-level creatures will have a good time playing with him!”
A group of nobles of the capital of Ultimate Evil, whose strength was above level 60 with high statuses, cursed one after another. They asked Vincent to accept their challenge. They spoke in an imposing manner and would not rest until one of them was dead.
After seeing the scene below, Vincent finally understood why the Ultimate Evil Lord had asked him to come.
If the vast majority of the nobles from the capital wanted to fight him in a life-and-death duel then even the Ultimate Evil Lord would not be able to protect him.
This was because he also had to consider the future development of the capital of Ultimate Evil. If he really suppressed all these people in one go, the capital of Ultimate Evil would lose a large number of high-level creatures.
The Ultimate Evil Lord that was sitting behind Vincent suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “You really killed Robert?”
Vincent turned his head and said with a smile, “Previously, I asked Irene to help me sell some materials. Robert took my materials but didn’t give me any money. I had to kill him!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord patted the armrest of the sofa heavily and roared, “Then is it reasonable for those people below to make you pay with blood?”
Vincent shook his head repeatedly and said, “Of course not! They’re just angry because they thought that I had cut off the source of the Dragon Race’s materials, but in fact, I’ve already made an agreement with Wilson. From now on, I’ll replace Robert and continue to supply the Dragon Race’s materials to the capital of Ultimate Evil. I guarantee that it will not affect the current supply and demand. I believe that after these people hear my explanation, they’ll definitely be very happy! After all, compared to Robert, I’m still more honest!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord stared at Vincent for a long time. The gloominess on his face never dissipated. He then said helplessly, “You can continue with the business that concerns the Dragon Race’s materials, but you have to cut down on your dealings with Wilson! In the entire capital of Ultimate Evil, there’s only one pure-blooded dragon like him. I’m not sure if I can defeat him easily. If you anger him, I won’t be able to protect you!”
After hearing this, Vincent could not help but feel secretly delighted. He did not expect that the Ultimate Evil Lord would reveal the fear in his heart so easily!
If Wilson’s strength was on par with the Ultimate Evil Lord or could even suppress the Ultimate Evil Lord, then perhaps he could find an opportunity to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil via Wilson and give the evil lord some trouble!
However, for Vincent, the fact that the evil lord still trusted him at that moment was something that was even more worth using!
Vincent walked in front of the Ultimate Evil Lord and nodded slightly to show respect. He replied seriously, “Don’t worry, I’m only cooperating with Wilson to protect myself after killing Robert. After all, that stupid dragon has a bad temper and is very difficult to deal with!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord understood the difficulties that Vincent faced. He soon believed that Vincent was unable to get along well with Wilson. He immediately felt relieved and finally revealed a smile on his face. He then said, “In that case, I’m relieved! You can handle the rest of the matters yourself. I can give you some help when necessary, but you have to be careful in the future. Don’t turn this quiet capital into a stinky pool of chaos!”
Vincent lowered his head and promise the evil lord, “Please rest assured, I will definitely be able to do it!”
The evil lord nodded his head in satisfaction and waved his hand to ask him to leave.
Vincent left the top floor and walked directly to the entrance of the Arena of Life and Death. He signaled for the manager to open the door. Then, under the gaze of all the cursing nobles, he walked into the Arena of Life and Death with a calm expression.
Vincent asked innocently with a smile on his face, “Everyone, I heard that you were looking for me. May I know what’s the matter?”
Although those nobles who entered the arena hated Vincent, they still maintained their calm. They were still worried that if they killed the Fire Asura, they would attract the attention of the Ultimate Evil Lord so they could not act rashly.
The leading noble stood out, pointed at Vincent and shouted, “Fire Asura! You killed Robert, and it has already seriously affected our businesses. You must give everyone an explanation today, or else we can only risk the blame by the Ultimate Evil Lord for killing you!”
Vincent smiled and signaled for everyone to be quiet. He still had a smile on his face as he said, “I can understand everyone’s feelings, but I want to say to everyone that you have misunderstood me!”
Someone asked curiously, “Misunderstood you? Could it be that you didn’t kill Robert?
Vincent replied, “No! Robert was indeed killed by me. He stole my materials and deserved death. It was reasonable for me to kill him! You misunderstood me because you thought that I had cut off your source of income and that the Dragon Race’s materials could not continue to circulate in the capital of Ultimate Evil. In fact, I have already made a deal with Wilson. In the future, I will replace Robert and continue to be responsible for the supply of the Dragon Race’s materials. And I can assure you that my credibility is much better than Robert’s!”
