Chapter 229: Played Along and Took Advantage of the Situation
“Let us congratulate Fire Asura for obtaining his fourth victory in a row!”
“Congratulations Fire Asura for obtaining his fifth victory in a row!”
“Let us congratulate Fire Asura for obtaining ten consecutive victories with the fastest record in a row!”
Seven days passed. Despite the malicious arrangements, Vincent was still able to win every match for seven days in a row. He looked down upon the entire Arena of Life and Death with an invincible attitude.
Although Vincent did not increase his level, the speed at which he obtained victory in every match was getting faster and faster. The battle scene was also becoming more and more explosive.
For the past few days, Fire Asura’s duels had become a daily routine for every citizen in the capital of Ultimate Evil. Therefore, the seats in the arena were filled to the brim every day!
Vincent gradually became the face of the Arena of Life and Death and the star of the capital of Ultimate Evil!
Vincent walked out of the arena in a calm manner as usual. The handcuffs on his wrists were instantly locked together. Under the guidance of the manager, he proceeded to walk towards his room.
However, the room looked slightly different from usual. At the door of Vincent’s room stood a graceful figure.
“Miss Irene!”
When the manager saw the figure, he immediately stopped and bowed.
Vincent also stopped and looked at Irene quietly. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. It was unknown whether he did it intentionally.
In order to make the lies that Vincent and Irene had created more believable, they had never met up with each other in private. Instead, they carried out their regular lives to ensure that the Lord of Ultimate Evil was not suspicious of them.
According to the agreement between Vincent and Irene, everything they did was not to resist the Lord of Ultimate Evil. They just needed to hide their plan from him so that they could each achieve their respective goals.
Of course, Vincent wanted to leave the Arena of Life and Death and the capital of Ultimate Evil.
Irene, on the other hand, wanted to visit the Spirit world secretly to explore without her foster father knowing!
It was currently the most important day of their agreement!
If Vincent wanted to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil without the Lord of Ultimate Evil’s knowledge, he had to gain his trust and have a certain status in the capital of Ultimate Evil in order to leave quietly.
As Irene was his adopted daughter, Vincent was not worried about losing the Lord of Ultimate Evil’s trust. Instead, his main priority at that moment was to raise his status in the capital of Ultimate Evil or ensure that he is provided with better treatment.
It was currently a perfect opportunity for him as he had won ten matches in a row. As such, he would be given a chance to make a request. Moreover, the Arena of Life and Death would usually allow participants to request things that relate to enjoyment.
“Fire Asura! As you have won ten matches in a row, you can make a request to the Arena of Life and Death!” said Irene. She looked at Vincent with a slight smile.
Vincent raised his hand and pointed to his room. He replied with a smile, “Let’s talk inside!”
Irene nodded. The manager opened the door for them. After they walked in, they immediately closed the door.
In the room, Vincent looked around through the glass. He turned around and said in a low voice, “Although the room is not completely soundproof, it can isolate most of the sounds. As long as the volume is controlled, the creatures outside will definitely not be able to hear!”
Irene heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, “Congratulations! Your plan went very smoothly. The Ultimate Evil Lord has already instructed me. As long as your request is not too excessive, he will agree to it!”
Vincent nodded and said, “My request is very simple. I hope that for the next seven days, all the contestants will have a chance to take a breather. They can wander around the corridor outside their rooms. This is because I want to enjoy the awe and the fear from those contestants!”
Irene thought for a moment and replied, “Yes! I can probably get him to agree. He might even let me make the decision.”
Vincent smiled slightly and said, “Of course you can make the decision because this is something that I thought of especially for you and to also ensure that the evil lord will not say anything!”
Irene could not help but ask, “Other than this, what is your real purpose?”
Vincent said, “Of course I’m here to take the opportunity to gather more contestants and prepare to break out of prison!”
“You want to break out of prison!”
Irene looked at Vincent in shock. She then realized something even more terrifying. She could not help but say, “No! You’re planning a riot!”
Vincent nodded calmly. He did not hide his thoughts from her.
“Although we are in a cooperative relationship, I have to remind you that the Lord of Ultimate Evil is still my foster father. Even if I want to hide things from him, I will never betray him, and I will not destroy the capital that I grew up in!” said Irene to Vincent in a serious manner.
Vincent smiled and said, “Don’t worry! Don’t underestimate the Lord of Ultimate Evil. Even if the entire capital does rebel, it would not cause much of a stir. Because in the face of absolute strength, all plans are weak!”
Irene naturally knew more about the Lord of Ultimate Evil’s strength than Vincent. She asked in confusion, “Since you know that even if you plan a riot, you won’t be able to fight against the Lord of Ultimate Evil so why would you still have such a suicidal plan?”
Vincent smiled and shook his head, saying, “You don’t understand! I don’t want to use the riot to escape, I just need to plan a riot in exchange for some status!”
“In exchange for status?”
Irene frowned at Vincent. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Anyone who tried to cause trouble in the capital of Ultimate Evil would receive the most severe punishment. How could they still obtain status? Vincent’s plan seemed to be against his goal.
Vincent looked at Irene and said confidently, “Trust me! As long as you do as I say, everything will be fine!”
Irene hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then got up to walk out of the room.
After Irene left, a large group of managers suddenly entered the corridor and stood guard in front of every room with serious expressions.
All the contestants gathered in front of the glass. They were curiously observing the scene outside.
Immediately after, all the doors of the rooms suddenly opened. The contestants who were waiting to watch the show walked to the door in surprise. They looked at the manager who was facing them with a puzzled expression.
“Fire Asura has won ten rounds. He has made a request to the Lord of Ultimate Evil. From now on, for seven days, you will have half a day of free time. Cherish this opportunity!”
When the manager announced the new rules, the contestants tried to walk out of their rooms at the same time. When they realized that the managers in front of them did not stop them, they cheered happily.
“Great! This request is really great!”
“Good job, Fire Asura. This is for everyone’s benefit!”
“As expected of the contestant who has been in the limelight recently. His decisions are so unique!”
The contestants began to praise Vincent.
At that moment, Vincent walked out of his room and looked at the crowd. He then said in a deep voice, “You guys are very happy! But do you know why I let you out? It is because I need to pick some opponents that I can look forward to battling!”
The contestants all shut their mouths when they heard what he said. They all looked at Vincent in shock.
Vincent had an arrogant look on his face as he walked past all the contestants. He shook his head and sighed, “Too weak! You guys are really too weak. You don’t make me want to fight at all!”
After hearing Vincent’s insults, some of the contestants could not bear it. There were some contestants who stood up to refute him. They were not afraid.
A lizard man who was a level 27 creature looked at Vincent and said coldly, “Fire Asura! Don’t assume that you can be arrogant just because you’ve won ten battles in a row! There are many people who have won dozens of battles in a row! It’s just that your strength is too low and you can’t meet all the opponents yet!”
Vincent raised his head and looked at the lizard man. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cruel sneer as he said, “Very good! I admire your fighting spirit. After my strength increases again, I believe that we will meet in the arena very soon!”
A trace of fear instantly appeared in the eyes of the lizard man. He lowered his head and said somewhat uneasily, “That, that will have to wait until you increase your level until level 22!”
“Sure, I’ll see you in the arena two days after tomorrow!” said Vincent. He smiled and nodded. He accepted the lizard man’s provocation gladly!
“Hiss!”
All the participants sucked in a breath of cold air. Vincent’s confident appearance was really suffocating!
In the Black Hole, no matter how talented the races were, they would not be able to raise their levels so easily. However, Vincent treated leveling up as something that could be done at will. This was no longer arrogance, but terror!
Other than the lizard man who was directly targeted by Vincent to become his opponent, the others did not dare to make a sound. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid that Vincent would notice them.
Vincent looked at the contestants who were afraid of him and nodded in satisfaction. He smiled and said, “I think everyone knows that no one among you can be my opponent. Therefore, I am your king, the king who can control your life and death!”
At this moment, another level 28 member of the Ghost Race could not help but sneer. He said, “Hmph! The contestants here are all the personal belongings of the Ultimate Evil Lord. Even you are the same. How can you become a King?”
Vincent raised his right hand, and a ball of purplish-black flames instantly ignited. Then, it turned into a thin line of fire that covered the entire corridor. It flowed above all the participants’ heads!
“I’m different from you guys. You might not have realized the difference between me and you. If I wanted to kill you guys, it would be a piece of cake. Moreover, no one would stop me!” said Vincent indifferently.
The contestants raised their heads to look at the terrifying line of fire above them. They then turned to look at the manager who was still standing calmly beside them. They could not help but feel a sense of despair.
Someone asked fearfully, “Fire Asura! W-what are you trying to do? We’re all contestants, and no one has offended you!”
When Vincent saw that someone finally cut to the chase, he said in a deep voice, “I want you to understand that I am your king. I do not need to follow the rules to kill the current king. If you want to continue living, win and leave the arena alive, you must follow me. As long as you are obedient, I will take the initiative to deliberately avoid you so that you will not be my opponent.”
“Really?” asked the contestants in surprise. At that moment, it was already considered great news if they did not have to meet the Fire Asura in battle.
Vincent smiled and turned to look at the monitor in the corridor. He sighed softly and said, “Of course!”
