Chapter 316: Top-Notch Acting Skills
“We can use any means?”
Marcus and Kaeger looked at the Ultimate Evil Lord with anticipation.
This would mean that they could use all means, including violence, to force Adolphus to give himself away!
Adolphus stood at the side and narrowed his eyes. He naturally understood Marcus and Kaeger’s intentions, but he also knew that his strength could not be revealed. He could not use his ability to modify authority!
Thus, Adolphus had to endure it again and again when facing Marcus and Kaeger. He only needed to take the opportunity to protect Ebenezer and make sure that the whole matter was done to death without any evidence. Then, he would be safe!
The Ultimate Evil Lord looked at the three of them. He had different thoughts about every single one of them. He soon nodded.
“In times of emergency, of course, we have to use extreme methods! As long as you can find the shadow demons as soon as possible, and end the current chaos in the capital of Ultimate Evil, we can use any means!”
Just as the Ultimate Evil Lord promised the three of them, Vincent walked out of the changing room. He then walked back to Manfred’s side with a calm expression. He looked at the three creatures who were receiving a lecture from the Ultimate Evil Lord. He felt like he was watching a show.
Suddenly, Manfred, who had been spectating, turned to look at Vincent and asked, “Can we talk in private?”
Vincent looked at Manfred in a daze. He then looked at Justin with some apprehension. He nodded and said, “Okay, then let’s talk outside!”
Manfred nodded slightly and walked out of the banquet hall with Vincent. He stood in front of the door and asked, “It was you who changed the authority scrolls, wasn’t it?”
Vincent suddenly became very nervous. He muttered, “What do you mean? How could this matter be related to me?”
Manfred smiled slightly and replied proudly, “I saw the small actions between you and Adolphus. This shows that the relationship between the two of you is not shallow! And recently, Justin, who has been bent on obtaining the power of authority, actually showed no reaction after hearing the news of modifying authority. That means that your previous deal with him has been completed. He has already obtained a portion of the power of authority, right?”
Vincent shook his head repeatedly. He replied in a slightly flustered manner, “You’re making slanderous accusations. Trading god-level abilities in the capital of Ultimate Evil is a felony that will undoubtedly result in death. You should not speak so carelessly without any evidence! Moreover, the Ultimate Evil Lord trusts me. I also have the Fire Dragon Wilson behind me. Even if you tell others about this, you might not be able to do anything to me!”
The smile on Manfred’s face grew wider. He leaned forward and whispered into Vincent’s ear, “Don’t be anxious! Your emotions have already betrayed you! However, I don’t intend to report you. As long as you give me the Dragon Race’s materials and introduce me to Fire Dragon Wilson, I’ll pretend that I don’t know anything about you. How about it?”
Vincent looked at Manfred with a troubled face. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded helplessly and said, “Fine! Then I’ll give the business of the Dragon Race materials to you! Go back and make some preparations. Later, I’ll go find Wilson and explain the situation to him first. Then, you can rush over. As for whether you can convince Wilson, it depends on your own ability!”
After seeing that Vincent had surrendered to him, Manfred smiled and said, “Okay! I’ll give you time to convince Wilson. I’ll come to Wilson’s residence after you!”
After saying that, Manfred did not return to the banquet hall. Instead, he directly walked downstairs and left the Arena of Life and Death. His actions were enough to show how important the Dragon Race materials’ business was to him.
When Manfred completely disappeared from his sight, Vincent stopped panicking, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a sly smile.
He had deliberately put on a show for Manfred to watch earlier. The purpose was to let this seemingly undemanding person in charge of the Star Race get sucked into the whirlpool that he had designed step by step!
“In my plan, no one will be able to escape!”
Vincent sighed softly. He then turned around and walked back to the banquet hall.
At this time, the Ultimate Evil Lord was still talking to Marcus and the other two. He did not let them leave directly. Although he allowed them to use all means, he also wanted to set a limit for them. He wanted to prevent the entire capital from being destroyed by the three races.
Vincent took the opportunity to say to the Ultimate Evil Lord, “Ultimate Evil Lord, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. I need to rush to the streets immediately to stabilize the situation!”
“Alright, you go!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord replied with satisfaction. The reason why he dragged Marcus and the other two was to arrange for Vincent to control the situation in advance, so as to prevent things from developing to an uncontrollable stage. Therefore, he was happy to agree when he saw that Vincent had taken the initiative to request to leave.
As Vincent turned to leave, he suddenly gave Justin a look.
Justin saw this and did not dare to be careless. He quickly said to the Ultimate Evil Lord, “Lord, then I will also leave now!”
After walking out of the banquet hall, Vincent grabbed Justin’s hand and said with a worried face, “The deal between us has been discovered by Manfred!”
Justin asked with a frown, “What? How is that possible?”
Vincent told him about Manfred’s guesses and threats.
Justin could not help but sigh, “This Ursa Major usually doesn’t show his true colors. I didn’t expect his eyes to be so sharp. Just from a few looks and subconscious actions, he had guessed the deal between us. Now, he wants to take the opportunity to get the business of the Dragon Race materials. What a good method!”
Vincent became even more worried. “I originally had the support of the Ultimate Evil Lord. I have all the businesses that I wanted. Losing the Dragon Race materials business is nothing much to me. After all, it’s being used against me at this moment. What I am worried about is that after Manfred gets benefits from me, he will turn around and threaten you! You vampires should have more business and resources than me, right?”
Justin stopped smiling when he heard that. When he thought about what Vincent said, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
If he really allowed Manfred to get hold of the evidence that he had secretly cultivated the power of authority, then the entire Vampire Race would have to live in accordance with the demands of the Star Race in the future.
Vincent could tell that Justin’s heart was filled with killing intent. He took the opportunity to say, “In my opinion, regardless of whether or not Manfred will threaten you in the future, he will still expose his own ambitions first. In order to prevent the vampires from being indirectly controlled by him, you should consider getting rid of Manfred! Previously, I’ve always heard that the Star Race’s ability is the strongest ability below the god-level abilities. But now that you have the authority to modify, what are you afraid of him for?”
Justin’s eyelids twitched wildly when he heard that. The killing intent in his heart was completely aroused by Vincent. He replied in a deep voice, “You’re right! Since Manfred wants to threaten you, then he will definitely not reveal the secret to the others. Now is the best time to kill him to silence him!”
