The lively and hypocritical banquet ended. After dealing with everyone, Vincent and Irene returned to the room.

As soon as they entered the room, Irene asked nervously, “Do you know how happy the Ultimate Evil Lord was after you killed Ebenezer? From now on, who in the capital of Ultimate Evil would dare to cooperate with you?”

Vincent sat on the sofa. A hint of fatigue finally appeared on his face as he closed his eyes to rest. He sighed, “But look at the situation that I was in, do I look like I have any other choice? Could I bring my level 25 disciple out of the Arena of Life and Death with just one breath left in his lungs?”

Irene was naturally not a fool. She understood that Vincent did not have a better choice at that time. She was just worried about Vincent’s future.

After hesitating for a moment, Irene asked, “Is Ebenezer really dead?”

Vincent’s lips suddenly curled into a smile. He did not say anything more. Instead, he stood up and walked in front of Irene. He asked softly, “Now that I have obtained my freedom, can I move out of the Arena of Life and Death? There are some things that I am unable to say here. After all, the more I get to know the Ultimate Evil Lord, the more I fear his methods!”

Irene said quietly, “So what if you move out? As long as the Ultimate Evil Lord wants to monitor a person, that person will have no secrets in the capital of Ultimate Evil!”

Vincent nodded in agreement. Out of nowhere, he shook his head again and said, “Before I grasped the flame authority, I did indeed think so. However, when I came into contact with the divine ability, I discovered that the Ultimate Evil Lord’s ability was not actually that terrifying! For example, I’ve now grasped the flame authority. The more meticulous I become in my control of the flame, the more I feel like I have not completely grasped control of the flame. If I want to cultivate the flame authority to the maximum extent, it would be absolutely impossible with my current strength. Even with the Ultimate Evil’s strength, it would still be impossible. Unless I can cultivate to a level 90 creature or higher, then perhaps I’ll be able to truly grasp the god-like ability!”

Vincent continued, “The Ultimate Evil Lord has the domain ability. However, the origin of the domain must have been created by him. Later, he fused his domain with the capital of Ultimate Evil, thus achieving the ability to rule and control this world. It was equivalent to him having two divine-level abilities in the capital of Ultimate Evil. This was why he could defeat Jackson so easily. However, since he had developed his domain to such a large extent, there were bound to be drawbacks, that is, he could no longer control every single tiny detail in the domain. He could only dominate this domain on a macro level. Therefore, as long as we stay away from him, he would not be able to spy on our every move!”

Upon hearing this, Irene nodded in realization and said, “According to the Ultimate Evil Lord, we will be in charge of the competition schedule in the arena. We will also be in charge of the communication between the scavengers, and the recruitment of new contestants! So before the plan is completed, I still have to come back here to work every day, but I don’t think the Ultimate Evil Lord will say anything when I move out. It’s just that the price of houses in the capital is very high. With the funds we have, we will not be able to find a suitable one!”

Vincent nodded and said, “I’ll solve the problem of the funds. After all, I’m now free. Tomorrow, you go and choose a house first. Leave the rest to me!”

“Okay!”

Irene responded softly. She then looked at Vincent’s back as he sat on the sofa to rest. She asked softly, “Are you still training tonight?”

Vincent leaned against the sofa and said softly, “No! I’ve overused my brain. I feel a little tired. Let’s rest for the night!”

Irene heard his reply and waited for a while. She realized that Vincent had no intention of getting up to go to bed. It was as if he had become one with the sofa. He seemed to be exhausted to a certain extent, so she did not disturb his rest. She turned around to wash up. She then laid on the bed alone and fell asleep.

When they first moved in together, Irene, who had just begun to fall in love, would occasionally let her imagination run wild. After all, there was a man in the room. Every night before she went to bed, her heart would be filled with anxiety and anticipation.

But as time passed, Irene had already gotten used to living together with Vincent. Every day, other than discussing how to escape from the capital of Ultimate Evil, she would wake up and say hello. At night, she would return to her room and do her own things. If she was sleepy, she would go to sleep. No one would disturb each other.

This was probably a tacit understanding!

Before dawn, Irene had already woken up. She looked at Vincent who was lying on the sofa. He was sleeping quietly. She tiptoed across the room to change her clothes. She then left the room.

All the work in the arena had been handed over to Vincent. However, he was obviously not interested in the business there. Therefore, Irene had to take care of everything for him, and the workload had become very huge.

However, Irene was enjoying it. After all, as long as she could help Vincent share the pressure, she would always be happy!

Moreover, there were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with. After Irene had briefly made arrangements for the arena, she arranged for people to inquire about the best house in the capital of Ultimate Evil.

According to Vincent’s plan, it would be best if they could find a place that can overlook the entire capital of Ultimate Evil. This would be the best way to dispel his wariness to the maximum extent. Therefore, Irene did not consider the price, she only chose the room with the best geographical location.

There was a building in the capital of Ultimate Evil. It was only a little smaller than the Arena of Life and Death, but it was located in the center. If one could live there, it would be equivalent to looking down on the entire capital of Ultimate Evil.

The building belonged to the Star Race. They hold quite a lot of power in the capital of Ultimate Evil. It was said that their leader was not in the capital of Ultimate Evil recently. Otherwise, he would definitely go to the Arena of Life and Death to recruit Vincent.

The Star Race initially wanted to gift the room on the top floor of the Star building to the Ultimate Evil Lord, but the Ultimate Evil Lord preferred to live in the Arena of Life and Death. Therefore, he did not accept that room. As such, the room that could overlook the entire capital of Ultimate Evil remained empty till now.

Irene made a serious comparison and decided to choose this room that was only second to the Ultimate Evil Lord’s residence. She then returned to her room to report to Vincent. However, when she returned to her room, she found that the room had long been empty. Vincent was nowhere to be found.

Vincent walked onto the slightly gloomy steel road in the capital of Ultimate Evil. Once he exited the Arena of Life and Death, he used his Transformation Skill to change his appearance. In an instant, he was just an ordinary Evil Spirit with a zombie-like appearance. He walked stiffly and arrived at the Evil Spirit Race’s stronghold in the capital of Ultimate Evil.

“Stop! This is the most important stronghold of the Evil Spirit Race. Even if you’re from the same race, you must reveal your identity before you can enter!”

The two Evil Spirit Race warriors guarding the entrance of the stronghold stopped Vincent expressionlessly.

Vincent did not explain and only said in a low voice, “Tell Adolphus that his friend is here!”
