“What did you say?”

The Ultimate Evil Lord looked at Marcus in surprise. His eyes were filled with doubt.

The original purpose of the banquet was to explain to everyone about the fake scrolls and calm the storm in the capital of Ultimate Evil. However, the Ultimate Evil Lord had never expected Marcus to publicly accuse Adolphus of having the power to modify authority!

If this was just Marcus making up a rumor to stir up trouble, then it would be fine. However, if it was true, the Ultimate Evil Lord would be very unhappy. This was because it would mean that someone wanted to obtain the power of authority and was waiting for an opportunity to take over the position of the Ultimate Evil Lord.

This was something that the Ultimate Evil Lord absolutely could not accept, and even more so, could not investigate thoroughly!

Adolphus, who was suddenly accused, was full of shock. He was able to obtain the authority to modify from the scroll because of Vincent. It was all done in secret, and everything was basically done by Vincent. How could anyone suspect him?

Adolphus immediately raised his head and looked around, but he did not see Vincent. He could not help but feel that something was not right.

Before the Ultimate Evil Lord could react, Kaeger also walked forward and half-knelt in front of the Ultimate Evil Lord. He said in a deep voice, “Lord, I also want to report that Adolphus is plotting against us. The chaos in the capital of Ultimate Evil has all been controlled by Adolphus behind the scenes!”

The Ultimate Evil Lord turned to look at Adolphus, his eyes filled with suspicion and vigilance. Suspicion had already risen in his heart!

Justin and Manfred stood to the side and watched coldly. The matter had nothing to do with them, and they had no interest in participating in it.

Manfred had always relied on the abilities of the Star Race. He was not interested in the so-called god powers. Therefore, he did not participate in the chaos.

When Justin learned from Vincent that Adolphus was the source of all the chaos, he also thought of taking the initiative to stand up and report him. However, as he had also obtained the authority to modify, he could be said to be in the same boat as Adolphus. He did not want to get involved in the mess!

He wanted to just let Adolphus take all the blame. As long as Justin stayed out of it, no one would be able to notice that he had also learned the authority to modify.

The Ultimate Evil Lord looked at Adolphus and asked coldly, “Explain. What’s going on?”

Adolphus knew that he could not show any panic at this time. He could only force himself to calm down and reply, “Ultimate Evil Lord, they are framing me! The fake scrolls have nothing to do with me. I demand to confront them face to face!”

The Ultimate Evil Lord turned his head to look at Marcus and Kaeger who were kneeling in front of him. He nodded slightly to show his acquiescence.

Adolphus immediately turned his head and said, “You accuse me as the mastermind of the fake scroll incident. What evidence do you have?”

Marcus sneered and said, “You still have the face to ask for evidence from me? As long as I bring my men to your base and find the shadow demon who sold you the scrolls, what else do you have to quibble about?”

Adolphus was stunned when he heard that. At first, he did not react. How could there be a shadow demon in his base? Suddenly, he thought of Ebenezer, who had lived in his base for a long time. He was shocked and could not say a word.

Kaeger also hurriedly echoed behind Marcus, “That’s right! I also received the news that a shadow demon has been living in your base recently. His strength is not high, but he is exactly the same as the shadow demon who sold the fake scrolls on the street. How do you explain it?”

Adolphus frowned slightly. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, “Stop talking about the shadow demon! If you want to search my base, just go ahead. If you can’t find a shadow demon, I’ll wash your base with blood!”

Marcus smiled coldly and said, “What’s the use of shouting at this time? If you’re really innocent, then explain the existence of the shadow demon. If you don’t explain it clearly, then the fake scrolls will be linked to you!”

When Kaeger saw Marcus questioning Adolphus so aggressively, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Vincent really had some great tricks. He was able to make Marcus give up the hatred between the Bards and the Feathered Monsters so resolutely in order to interrogate Adolphus.

And with the help of the Bards, Kaeger believed that they would definitely be able to overthrow the Evil Spirit Race by the end of the day. When that time came, it was unlikely for the Feathered Monsters to take over the entire Evil Spirit Race business by themselves, so it was inevitable for the Feathered Monsters and Bards to continue working together in the future.

From this, Kaeger could not help but think of reconciling with the Bards. The other conflicts were easy to resolve. However, the Bard Necklace was the only problem. After all, too many Bards had died because of the necklace. The hatred between them would not be easy to offset!

Fortunately, Vincent had reminded Kaeger earlier that day. Since he wanted to slander Adolphus for sending creatures to disguise themselves as shadow demons, why not let him take all the blame?

Kaeger raised his hand and pointed at Adolphus. He said righteously, “Adolphus! I heard that you’ve purchased a lot of special equipment to change your appearance. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to change your subordinates into shadow demons. Moreover, it’s said that you were the one who had secretly instigated the matter of a traitor in the Bard Race not long ago!”

Adolphus defended himself with a shocked expression, “You, you want to slander me! The matter of Bard’s necklace has nothing to do with me!”

Actually, the matter of the shadow demons could be easily explained as long as they revealed the deal they made with Vincent. However, Adolphus did not dare to tell the truth because he was the one who had single-handedly arranged for Ebenezer to leave the arena alive.

If the Ultimate Evil Lord found out that the evil spirits were suspected of controlling the arena’s battles, then the evil spirits would face a great calamity!

Therefore, Adolphus could only explain that Bard’s necklace had nothing to do with him. When the news of a traitor in the Bard Race’s inner circle was spread out, Adolphus had already guessed that it was Vincent who had secretly instigated it. Therefore, when Kaeger mentioned the traitor, Adolphus instantly thought of the necklace that he sold to Vincent.

“What is Bard’s necklace?”

Marcus looked at Adolphus in surprise, stood up, and shouted angrily, “No one mentioned Bard’s necklace just now. You even know the name of the equipment, and you still dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?”

Just when Adolphus could not explain himself, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the banquet hall. The loud sounds instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

The door soon opened. Vincent, who was holding a knife in his hand, walked into the hall. He smiled and said, “Sorry, I’m late! What’s everyone talking about? You’re all so lively!”

The Ultimate Evil Lord’s eyes lit up. He said, “Fire Asura, you’re finally here!”

Vincent smiled slightly, walked forward, and said, “Recently, the capital of Ultimate Evil has been in a mess. I’ve been busy investigating. That’s why I’m late!”
