Chapter 288 - Heart of Evil, Perfect Performance
“Thank you, Ultimate Evil Lord!”
After successfully suppressing the Bards, Kaeger knelt on one knee and thanked the evil lord loudly. However, he did not get up to leave.
The Ultimate Evil Lord looked at Kaegar, who was unwilling to leave, and asked in a deep voice, “Is there anything else?”
Kaeger quickly replied, “I have a presumptuous request. I hope that the evil lord will allow it!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord frowned slightly. He immediately thought that Kaeger was going to take the opportunity to ask him to exempt the Feathered Monster Race from the previous punishment and wanted the evil lord to return their business to them. He immediately felt a little displeased.
If the Feathered Monster Race was so ignorant, then Kaeger no longer needed to nurture and support them. The Ultimate Evil Lord did not even want to punish the Bards on behalf of the Feathered Monster Race anymore.
“What else do you want? Just say it!” asked the Ultimate Evil Lord in a serious tone.
Kaeger paid no attention to his rudeness and said in a deep voice, “Previously, because of my rudeness, the evil lord had severely punished all the women in the Feathered Monster Race. At the same time, it also attracted the covetous eyes of b*stards like Marcus. Therefore, in order to protect all the women of the Feathered Monster Race, I implore the evil lord to take back the previous punishment. My Feathered Monster Race is willing to pay any price in exchange for the freedom of these women!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord fell into confusion again when he heard this. He did not expect Kaeger to make this request. He did not mention anything about the business of the Feathered Monster Race at all. This made him feel that Kaeger’s request was somewhat reasonable, but it was beyond his expectations. He even expressed his appreciation for Kaeger’s structure and general sense.
Such a reasonable subordinate who knew how to avoid suspicion was really too rare!
The Ultimate Evil Lord nodded with a smile and agreed to Kaeger’s request.
“Alright, I agree to your request! The women from the Feathered Monster Race will be free from today onwards!”
“Thank you, your subordinate will now leave!”
Kaeger thanked him once again, stood up, and left.
When he passed by Vincent, Kaeger could not help but look at Vincent with a grateful gaze. Everything that Kaeger said and did earlier was all in accordance with Vincent’s instructions. And only by doing so did he not arouse the Ultimate Evil Lord’s anger and disgust towards him. He managed to achieve his goal, and also make the evil lord become suspicious of the Bard Race.
The benefits from this outweigh the losses suffered by the Feathered Monster Race.
Kaeger felt at ease because he was certain that Vincent really had his heart set on the Feathered Monster Race.
Vincent nodded his head generously and greeted him goodbye. After watching Kaeger walk out of the Ultimate Evil Lord’s room, Vincent turned his head to look at the evil lord. This is because he knew that the evil lord definitely had something to ask him.
As expected, just as their eyes met, the Ultimate Evil Lord suddenly asked, “Fire Asura! I’ve heard of your recent activities in the capital of Ultimate Evil. I’ve said before that you can cooperate with whoever you want, but what I don’t understand is, whether you want to help Kaeger or Marcus?”
Vincent smiled and replied, “I’ve been wandering around the capital of Ultimate Evil for the past few days, so I have some understanding of most of the businesses. Then, I discovered the drawbacks. All the businesses in the capital of Ultimate Evil are monopolized by high-level races, and some of them are already beyond our control. I have no intention of cooperating with anyone. I just want to use this opportunity to weaken their power and strengthen your control over the capital of Ultimate Evil, so as to ensure the safety of our side!”
When the Ultimate Evil Lord heard this, he could not help but feel touched. It turned out that the heart of the Fire Asura was still aligned with his.
This made him feel that his previous cultivation had not failed. On the contrary, he had reaped an even more ideal result than he had expected. With Vincent, although weak, his ability to plan was top-notch. The Ultimate Evil Lord believed that he would be able to rest easy in the future. His Ultimate Evil capital would definitely be forged into an iron wall-like existence!
“Hahaha! Good, I did not misjudge you. With your words, I can rest assured and entrust more things for you to do in the future!” replied the evil lord whilst laughing. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Vincent.
The corners of Vincent’s eyes trembled slightly. He suppressed the thought of wanting to leave immediately. He lowered his head and said, “I’m happy to be of service to you!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “Mmm, you may leave!”
Vincent turned around and left whilst sneering in his heart. Although the Ultimate Evil Lord was at ease at the moment, it would not be smart for Vincent to directly propose to go out to the Black Hole world. The Ultimate Evil Lord would definitely attack him then. At the same time, the little bit of trust that he had racked his brains for would be completely gone. As such, he had no choice but to suppress the anticipation in his heart and continue to deal with the evil lord.
After returning to his room, Vincent suddenly realized that his room had been completely emptied. Only Irene was waiting for him in the room.
“You’re back! Our things have all been moved to our new home. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to find the way, so I waited for you to go together!” said Irene with a smile.
Vincent smiled and nodded as he said to Irene, “Okay, let’s go!”
The two of them left the Arena of Life and Death side by side. They walked towards the second tallest building in the capital of Ultimate Evil.
“Irene, I remembered that you said this building was built by the Star Race. Is there anything special about this race?”
Vincent’s question broke the silence between the two of them.
Irene lowered her head and thought for a moment. She then said, “The Star Race is a very special race. Every member that is born has the strength of a level 60 creature. According to them, every member has the strength of a star. Therefore, most of the members of the Star Race are named after stars or constellations. The power that they can mobilize is also very special. The Ultimate Evil Lord once said that the Star Race and Dragon Race possess the strongest abilities and are right below the four divine level abilities!”
Vincent could not help but be slightly surprised when he heard this. He sighed and said, “Being born as a level 60 creature, doesn’t that mean that the heavenly Star Race is filled with experts?”
Irene shook her head and said, “Of course not! The Star Race does have a unique advantage, but at the same time, they also have a disadvantage that other races don’t have! It is very difficult for the Star Race to cultivate. Only a very small number of them could advance to a level 60 creature or higher, and those who are unable to advance would only slowly decline in terms of strength. There was once a member of the Star Race that only had the strength of a level 20 creature. He participated in the battles held in the Arena of Life and Death. There has always been a saying about the Star Race in the capital of Ultimate Evil. If they are not as powerful as a star, they can only fall like a meteor!”
Vincent nodded slightly. He was curious about this amazing race, but he also warned himself to not provoke the Star Race.
This was because he could not afford to make any more enemies in the capital of Ultimate Evil.
