Chapter 371 - When Enemies Meet, They Are Especially Jealous



Chapter 371: When Enemies Meet, They Are Especially Jealous

After walking out of the secret room, Vincent proceeded to store all the crystal coins left behind by David in the study. He put on his black robe again and brought Monica to the lift platform.

Although the auction house had a rule regarding commissions, they did not dare to disagree with Vincent after reaching a new level of cooperation.

Monica followed Vincent to the entrance of the auction house again. She could not help but ask, “Now that you have enough crystal coins, don’t you want to see the items in the auction house?”

Vincent said softly, “There are too many things that we need to do today. I’ll bring you here another day!”

Monica nodded slightly to show that she understood.

The two of them quickly took the elevator to the fifth floor. When they entered Catherine’s room through the secret passage, they saw Catherine sitting in the room alone. Her gaze was fixed on the door of her bedroom. Dave must be inside absorbing the energy of the Elf King’s remains.

Vincent went straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.

“Lady Catherine, there’s something I want to discuss with you!”

Catherine came back to her senses and turned to look at Vincent.

“What is it?”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “I just bought two aliens from the slave-trading center, but I can’t send them to the City Lord’s mansion, so I had them sent to your mansion outside the city. I need to borrow your mansion!”

After hearing that, Catherine turned to look at Monica. She said with some difficulty, “That mansion was given to me by His Highness Dave. Although I don’t go there often, His Highness will be angry if I lent it to you! He has never lost his temper in front of you, but he is not so gentle to me!”

Vincent smiled and said, “Please rest assured, I will personally explain this matter to His Highness. Moreover, we do need a remote place to cultivate, so I think your mansion should be the most suitable place!”

After hearing what Vincent had said, Catherine finally felt relieved. She nodded and said, “Since it’s for His Highness, why would I disagree? That mansion is not taken care of by anyone. It’s just that I occasionally go over to check up on it. If you can use it, then I’ll lend it to you!”

Vincent nodded slightly and said, “Thank you!”

Catherine stood up and took out a crystal disk-shaped object. She handed it over to Vincent and said, “There is a small array set up near the mansion to prevent outsiders from invading. This is the core to control the array. With it, you’ll have the key to enter the mansion. Take it!”

Vincent took the array core and put it into his storage ring. He then asked, “Is His Highness cultivating?”

Catherine nodded.

Vincent asked again, “Then how long did His Highness stay in there alone?”

Catherine thought for a moment and said, “About two hours!”

After hearing that, Vincent turned around and walked to the door of the bedroom. He knocked on the door gently and said softly, “Your Highness, it is important to improve your cultivation, but you can’t be greedy! It will have a great impact on your strength in the future!”

Catherine could not help but sigh silently when she saw the scene. Only Vincent could be so bold to dissuade Dave. If it was someone else, he would not be able to walk out of the fifth floor alive.

Not long after, Dave’s voice came from the bedroom.

“Come in!”

Vincent pushed open the bedroom door gently and walked in sideways. He saw Dave sitting cross-legged on the floor of the bedroom. In front of him was an iron cage containing the Elf King’s remains.

At this time, the luster on the Elf King’s remains had dimmed by a few times, and the aura on Dave’s body seemed to be much stronger than before.

Vincent sighed softly, “Level-25 creature! Your Highness’s speed is faster than I imagined!”

Dave slowly exhaled. He opened his eyes and silently sighed. “Previously, in order to pretend to be a playboy, I wasted a lot of time in training. Otherwise, how could I let that trash David surpass me in terms of realm?”

Vincent nodded and said, “Although Your Highness has surpassed David in terms of realm, you will still need to work harder in order to improve your combat strength!”

Dave turned to look at Vincent and said with some anticipation, “From what you said, are you’re preparing to teach me knife skills?”

Vincent nodded and said, “I just borrowed Lady Catherine’s mansion that is located outside the city. We’ll move there temporarily tonight. Starting tomorrow, I’ll teach Your Highness knife skills!”

Dave hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright, then let’s not delay. Let’s move now!”

Vincent looked at Dave who was bent on improving his strength. He smiled with gratification and said, “Then let’s go!”

Dave and Vincent immediately hit it off and left the bedroom.

After saying goodbye to Catherine, Dave turned around and walked into the secret passage.

Vincent, on the other hand, pretended to be heavily injured again. With Monica’s help, he slowly walked into the secret passage and adapted to his disguise in advance.

The three of them left Hell’s Rose’s courtyard. They were about to ride their monsters when they suddenly saw a figure walking out from Hell’s Rose. The figure stopped right in front of the three of them.

“David!”

Dave looked at David in front of him. He could not help but grit his teeth and call out his name. As he had increased his strength, he wished that he could go up directly to him and kill him.

David on the other hand was about to head back and verify the information that he had just bought. However, he did not expect to run into Dave and the others. He smiled fearlessly and said, “So it’s Your Highness, Dave! I thought you died in the alley, but I didn’t expect you to be so lucky!”

Dave frowned and took a step forward. He said in a deep voice, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you were the one who started the chaos. I must settle the score with you!”

After sensing the murderous intent in Dave’s words, Dave waved the magic staff in his hand. He said with a smile, “While you were having fun all day, I had been studying high-level spells in the temple. How could you kill me? If you want to fight, I don’t mind showing you the strength of an elder in the temple!”

Faced with David’s disdain and provocation, the anger in Dave’s heart had burned into his brain. Just when he was about to make a move, he heard Vincent coughing lightly from behind him.

Vincent pretended to be seriously injured and said softly, “Ahem! Your Highness, we still have important matters to attend to. Don’t waste your time on such a trivial matter!”

Dave, who was burning with anger, instantly calmed down after hearing Vincent’s reminder. This was because he knew that it was not the best time for him to reveal his strength just to kill trash like David. It would not be worth it.

“I’ll let you live a little longer. Sooner or later, I’ll kill you personally!” said Dave to David coldly.

He then turned around and got onto his monster. He was preparing to leave.

As Vincent was pretending to be seriously injured, he and Monica climbed onto the back of their monster very slowly.

However, David did not leave directly. Instead, he provoked Dave even more arrogantly, “I’ve long heard that you’ve recruited a confidant, but I didn’t expect you to listen to him like a servant. You didn’t find yourself a father, did you?”

Dave narrowed his eyes and gripped the iron chain on the monster’s back with both hands tightly. He resisted the urge to kill and said in a deep voice, “If you insist on seeking death today, I can help you!”

David had always regarded Dave as his nemesis since he was young, and he had always thought that he was stronger than Dave. He could not help but raise his head and laugh after hearing Dave’s harsh warning.

“As expected of the son of the City Lord. Your tone is so arrogant that it makes me laugh to death! If you dare to attack me today, do you believe that the person who will die will be you?” asked David confidently.

Dave’s originally malicious face instantly darkened. At this moment, he no longer cared about Vincent’s reminder. He only wanted to kill this b*stard who spoke without thinking!

However, at this moment, figures suddenly flashed in the surroundings. A few Dark Elves who were also wearing elder robes suddenly appeared on the streets. They formed an encirclement around Dave and the others.

Dave looked at the figures that had suddenly appeared and instantly recognized them as the guardian elders of the temple. They were obviously acting as David’s bodyguards at that moment. He immediately sighed in his heart.

If it was just David alone, Dave would not be afraid to fight him. However, he was surrounded by so many powerful guardian elders. He was afraid that he would only end up dying in battle.

Even if Vincent could help him at the crucial moment, it would definitely expose their current plan. Plus, if Vincent was not a match for these elders, then what awaited Dave would be endless humiliation.

Dave tried his best to remain calm, frowning as he questioned David, “What? Do you want to win by relying on numbers?”

David nodded and said, “That’s right! I have more men than you. I bring bodyguards when I go out whilst you bring a sick person along with you when you go out. Today, you must kneel down and admit your mistake, or I will ask them to break all the bones in your body!”

Dave’s eyes immediately widened in anger. He glared at David fiercely. His heart was filled with despair and unwillingness.

Was he going to be humiliated in public?

At the same time, Vincent had just climbed onto the back of the monster with Monica’s help. He looked at the five elders surrounding Dave. Each of them had the strength of a level 35 creature. He could not help but take out a black crystal ring and played with it casually in his hand.

It was the Demon King’s Groan. However, Vincent had used his authority to change its appearance. If a big battle was inevitable, then he could only use the magic in the ring.

As for whether or not he would be discovered after the battle, it was not something that he should consider at that moment!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the street in the distance. He instantly sighed in relief and said softly, “Your Highness, there’s no need to be anxious. No one in Devil Flame City can make things difficult for you!”

Dave could hear the confidence and calmness in Vincent’s tone. He placed all of his hopes on Vincent. The despair in his heart gradually calmed down. He sat on the back of the monster and looked down at David. He said coldly, “I’m the son of the City Lord. My father still has the final say in Devil Flame City. Do you think the few of you are qualified to make me kneel?”

David turned his head to look at Vincent behind him in surprise because he could see how dependent Dave was on him. He did not expect that Dave, who had always been like the Demon King of this world to actually listen to him so obediently!

Before this, David had only regarded Dave as his opponent, but it seemed that he had no choice but to treat both Vincent and Dave as his enemies. If they were to fight, he would not spare Vincent or Dave!

David turned his head and said to the elders of the temple, “Kill that sickly man first, then capture the son of the City Lord. I want to slowly torture him!”

His eyes were full of ruthlessness.

“Yes!”

The five elders of the temple answered in unison. One after another, they took a step forward and began to approach Vincent.

Monica, who was sitting beside Vincent, could not help but grab Vincent’s arm nervously when she saw the scene. The sweat on her palm instantly soaked Vincent’s clothes.

Dave, who was riding a monster to guard Vincent, could not help but prepare himself for a life-and-death battle.

At that moment, a wave of orderly footsteps suddenly came from the street not far away, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

300 Dark Elves were rushing toward Hell’s Rose. They were wearing armor and carried bows and arrows on their backs. Some of them were holding spears and staffs in their hands.

In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded David and the elders.

After the soldiers stopped, a few squad leaders immediately stood up and said, “Sir Vincent, we heard that you were accompanying His Highness on the streets today, so we immediately came to see you. If anyone wants to harm you, we will protect you with our lives!”

Vincent, who was sitting on the back of the monster, smiled and said softly, “I am currently injured, so I cannot lead you to patrol the city. So, for the time being, you have to listen to His Highness Dave’s orders!”

“Yes!”

All the soldiers answered in unison. They then shifted their gazes from Vincent to Dave.

Dave took a deep breath. The waves in his heart finally calmed down. Although the soldiers around him only had the strength of level 30 creatures, there were 300 of them. Moreover, they were well-trained and proficient in cooperating. Although it was a little difficult to kill David and the other elders of the temple, it was definitely possible!

In the blink of an eye, the situation of the enemy being stronger and them being weaker had suddenly reversed. However, Dave did not immediately give the order to attack. Instead, he said to David, “Didn’t you want to compete in numbers with me just now? Let’s compete now!”

David had long lost his arrogance. Of course, he knew the combat strength of the surrounding 300 soldiers. Once the two sides fight, the five level 35 elders of the temple would not be able to protect him from escaping to heaven.

David had just received important information about the Mother Nest Insect Egg. He did not want to die for no reason. As long as he could return home and pass the important information to his father, he would be considered to have made a great contribution. At that time, he would be able to learn more advanced magic from the temple!

When he became stronger, he could kill Dave at any time. Why should he care about the current situation?

David instantly convinced himself in his heart and turned to Dave, “If we fight with the forces behind us, what’s the point? Why don’t we arrange a place for a one-on-one fight?”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone knew that David had given in, but he was smart enough to propose another challenge. This way, no matter if His Highness Dave accepted the challenge or not, he would not lose face.

Dave laid on the back of the monster and stared at Dave. He said in a deep voice, “Alright, let’s have a one-on-one duel another day. It’s a deal! However, if you want to leave today, you must kneel down and kowtow to me!”

David gritted his teeth and his expression turned ugly. He knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed three times to Dave.

After kowtowing, David stood up and patted the dust off his body. He asked, “Can we leave now?”

Dave waved his hand in satisfaction. The surrounding soldiers immediately made a path for them.

With an ashen face, David turned around and said to the five elders of the temple, “Let’s go back!”

The elders of the temple could only follow Dave silently and leave.

After seeing that His Highness Dave had humiliated David, the soldiers who had rushed over at the critical moment surrounded the monster that Vincent was riding on. They cheered happily.

“Sir Vincent, we came in time, right?”

“Sir Vincent, we didn’t embarrass you, right?”

“With us here, whoever wants to touch Sir Vincent, we’ll fight him to the death!”

Vincent looked at the 300 Dark Elves soldiers that were loyal to him. He was naturally very happy. However, he also looked at Dave with some worry. He was worried that he would be angry that so many soldiers were willing to die for him.

However, Vincent did not expect Dave’s smile to be even brighter than the 300 soldiers. He was sitting on the back of the monster and cheering along with the 300 soldiers.

Vincent smiled helplessly. He then remembered that Dave had grown up. He acted like an adult despite being a child. He had humiliated David in front of everyone. This was already the best thing for him. He had long forgotten to care about other details.

Vincent, who was relieved, immediately said to the soldiers beside him, “From today onwards, His Highness Dave will lead you to patrol on my behalf. You must remember that my position today is owed to His Highness Dave. You must not let me lose face in front of His Highness!”

“Yes!”

All the soldiers shouted in unison. They were naturally very accepting of Dave as their temporary general.

Vincent then waved his hand and ordered, “Alright, prepare the formation. Let’s patrol!”

All the soldiers immediately split into two teams and guarded Vincent and Dave as they began to patrol the streets.

Meanwhile, Dave deliberately slowed down the pace of his monster. He walked side by side with Vincent and said with some shame, “If you hadn’t reminded me at the critical moment today, I’m afraid that I would have already made a move against David. That would not only expose our painstaking plan, but we would not have been able to wait for the soldiers’ support. I would have fallen at David’s feet long ago and be humiliated!”

Vincent smiled and said, “As a man, it’s good to be courageous! If Your Highness obediently kneeled down and kowtow like David, then I would look down on Your Highness!”

Dave was a little stunned after hearing that. He could not help but ask, “But being courageous almost ruined our big matter! I thought that you would prefer David’s way of handling things.”

Vincent turned his head to look at Dave, who was feeling a little uneasy and consoled him, “If a man wants to become a qualified warrior, he can’t always think of avoiding trouble. He must have the courage to face difficulties head-on. He must have the determination to not surrender even at death’s door. Only then can he become a truly strong person!”
