Chapter 262: New Cooperation, Evil Solicitation
Vincent looked at the confident Adolphus. He could not help but smile and nod. He was very satisfied with him as a partner.
Earlier in the hall, regardless of how cooperative Vincent appeared to be in front of everyone, it was just a show. He only had one condition for choosing a partner, and that was that he had to be smart.
This was because if he wanted to do things behind the Ultimate Evil Lord’s back, he could only work with smart people. Otherwise, he would only bring harm to himself and others sooner or later!
Although the benefits proposed by Kaeger and Marcus were very good, they recruited him in public. This meant that they were truly stupid people. Although Vincent had a smile on his face the entire time, he had already eliminated them completely in his heart!
As for the conditions that they had proposed, they were not very important to Vincent.
The Bard Race was willing to give him the resources that they owned, but Vincent did not lack resources at that moment. The ancient secrets mentioned by the Feathered Monsters on the other hand had been obtained by Vincent from the skull!
Therefore, fools like them would probably be severely punished by the end of the night.
However, Adolphus was within Vincent’s definition of a smart person. The moment he opened his mouth, he explained the advantages and his plan on cooperating with Vincent.
Vincent was currently able to control the schedule of the battles through Irene. The battles directly affected Adolphus’s material recovery business. If they worked together, Vincent could help Adolphus to get the materials that he wanted!
Adolphus was determined to have Vincent as a partner. That was why when he heard Vincent take the initiative to mention the Undead, he immediately chose to leave the arena in a huff, leaving a hint behind about the manure pit!
Vincent naturally would not find a manure pit to wait for Adolphus, so he went straight to the washroom.
Two smart people met each other tacitly!
Vincent looked at Adolphus and said with a smile, “If you are looking for specific materials in the arena, I can help you look for them! As for what I want to do in the arena, only you can help me! I hope that we can cooperate sincerely and mutually benefit from this!”
Adolphus nodded and said in a deep voice, “You’re right! But I must remind you in advance that the Ultimate Evil Lord is a great benefactor to our Evil Spirit Race. If the Ultimate Evil Lord wants to kill you one day, I will immediately terminate our deal and give priority to the Ultimate Evil Lord.”
“Alright! Deal!”
Vincent smiled and agreed to Adolphus’s conditions.
Adolphus took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to Vincent. He said, “These races have materials that I need urgently. I hope that I can receive them in the next three days after your competitions! As it is our first time cooperating, after you complete the task, you can ask me for something. As long as there’s a chance that I can do it, I will definitely agree to it!”
Vincent glanced at the note and put it away. After pondering for a moment, he replied, “I can do it. Your request is not difficult. I can totally do it. As for what I need you to do, it might be a little difficult for you! After all, there are some risks!”
“Risks often go with benefits!” said Adolphus expressionlessly.
Vincent revealed a sly smile and leaned forward to whisper into Adolphus’s ear.
Adolphus’s expressionless face turned from calm to nervous, and then to shock. But in the end, he still said softly, “Okay, deal!”
The banquet hall had obviously become quiet at this time. The Ultimate Evil Lord chatted casually with the few nobles who did not leave. They then turned to look in the direction of the washroom and waited for Vincent to come back.
Soon, Vincent walked out of the washroom. He shook his hands that were still wet and looked at the hall with surprise. It seemed like most of the guests had left the banquet.
“What, what is the situation?”
Vincent sighed with surprise as if he was very disappointed with the departure of Kaeger and Marcus.
After seeing Vincent’s reaction, the Ultimate Evil Lord could not help but feel even angrier at Kaeger and Marcus. He waved his hand and said, “Fire Asura, come!”
Vincent pretended to be at a loss as he walked in front of the evil lord and asked, “May I ask where are the two nobles, Kaeger and Marcus? We had a good chat just now. Why did they leave without even saying goodbye?”
The Ultimate Evil Lord took a deep breath and forced out a smile. He replied, “Can’t you see that they took the initiative to chat with you passionately because they want you to work for them?”
Vincent chuckled and said, “I can see that! But I didn’t say that I want to work for them. If I feel uncomfortable, I can leave at any time. I’m relatively free!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord’s face showed a hint of anxiety and embarrassment. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to warn the Fire Asura that working under him was the best choice. However, before he could even speak, Vincent had already rejected his offer.
Whether it was the management of the Arena of Life and Death or the scavengers who were out hunting in the surrounding world, they were all under the high management of the Ultimate Evil Lord. There was no freedom to speak of. This was also the most important requirement of the evil lord’s subordinates. He could only trust those who were firmly in his grasp.
However, after seeing that the Fire Asura was keen on Kaeger and Marcus, the Ultimate Evil Lord could only settle for the second-best alternative. He said, “Actually, you will have the same freedom when you work for me! Moreover, you can obtain a status that is not inferior to theirs. When the time comes, I guarantee that you will only be below the command of one in the capital of Ultimate Evil, but you will be in charge of 10,000 creatures!”
Vincent asked in embarrassment, “Below one?”
He was not arrogant to that extent. After all, in the capital of Ultimate Evil, only nobles who were above level 60 could attend the banquet. Vincent was not keen. He wanted to improve his status to make up for his lack of strength so that nobles like Adolphus could temporarily ignore his strength and work with him on an equal footing!
The Ultimate Evil Lord suddenly realized that his promise was a bit too ridiculous. He quickly said, “Even if you can’t be under just my command, I will ensure that your future will be good. After all, with the resources that I have, I can help you to increase to a level 60 creature in the near future. You can then step into the ranks of high-level creatures!”
Vincent nodded repeatedly upon hearing that. He took the initiative to say, “Alright! Then after I win 100 rounds, you can arrange some business for me. I will definitely be able to help you take care of things. I believe that when the time comes, I will also be able to increase my strength quickly!”
“This, this, alright!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord looked at Vincent with a conflicted expression. He did not expect Vincent to lay down all the cards before he even started listing his conditions. He could only nod his head helplessly and agree.
