Vincent took a detour and soon returned to the vicinity of the Arena of Life and Death. He returned to his original appearance and walked into the arena via the main entrance.

The managers of the arena took the initiative to bow when they saw Vincent enter. Although they had better combat strength, status, and level as compared to Vincent, they all respected Vincent from the bottom of their hearts.

Vincent went to the front desk of the arena and asked about the competition schedule for the day before returning to his and Irene’s room.

The moment he entered the door, he saw Irene sitting on the sofa with a troubled look on her face. She was busy calculating something.

Vincent walked forward and asked with a smile, “What’s going on? Did you encounter a problem?”

Irene turned to look at Vincent. She frowned and said, “It’s a problem regarding the house. I’ve estimated roughly that if we want to buy the best house in the capital of Ultimate Evil, we will need at least 70 million dark crystals. It would be great if that batch of materials back then had not been swindled away! But when I think about how everything we are doing now is to escape from the capital of Ultimate Evil, I feel that this amount is not worth it at all!”

Vincent shook his head and said softly, “Don’t worry, I will never make a loss! Back then, the materials worth 70 million could only be considered as an investment, but now is the time for us to recoup our profits!”

Irene looked at Vincent in confusion. Even after spending so much time together, she still could not grasp Vincent’s thoughts.

Vincent did not explain. He just took out the dark gold card from his pocket and placed it in Irene’s hand. He then said, “Take this money first. It should be enough to deal with the problem of the house. As for the buyer who cheated you last time, please give me all his information!”

Irene looked at the card in her hand and could not help but be surprised. She, who had lived in the capital since young, could see the value of the card at a glance.

It was just that she did not expect Vincent to be able to get such a large sum of money on the first day of his freedom. He must have gone out and made a deal with someone during the time he disappeared.

But what kind of deal would be able to get him 90 million dark crystals?

As Irene was thinking, she could not help but raise her head to look at Vincent.

Vincent noticed Irene’s gaze and quickly said, “Don’t think too much! This money was exchanged openly with a treasure of mine!”

Irene could not help but ask, “Oh, what treasure?”

“Two modified authority scrolls. I lied and said that they were my last remaining scrolls and sold them to Adolphus. But I believe that he won’t be so gullible. He definitely won’t believe that I will sell all of my modified authority scrolls to him. But he definitely will not think that I still have 15 left in my hands. This is an amount that can destroy half of the capital of Ultimate Evil!”

Irene’s exquisite little mouth opened slightly as if she was shocked by the value of the modified authority scrolls. She then said with some anticipation, “It would be great if you could make your own authority scrolls. Then, we wouldn’t have to worry about buying anything!”

Vincent looked at Irene’s meticulous manner and could not help but smile. Then, he suddenly realized that Irene’s statement was indeed a good idea.

“What you said makes sense. Even if I don’t have the authority to modify it, I can at least study the scroll in my hand. Maybe I can think of a way to make a copy!” said Vincent boldly.

Irene listened to Vincent’s unrealistic idea. She could not help but smile and said, “Although I have no way to train, I also know that to make a scroll, the creator must have the corresponding ability. If you simply copy it, I’m afraid you can only make a bunch of fakes!”

However, Vincent said disapprovingly, “So what if they are fakes? Sometimes, fakes are more valuable than the real thing!”

Vincent, who was inspired, immediately stood up. He left Irene, who had a blank look on her face, and walked into the fire shield. He opened up a scroll that was worth 45 million dark crystals to modify the authority of the scroll. After examining it from top to bottom, he softly said, “Modify and restore!”

The scroll shone brightly and then began to separate. At the same time, the scroll was divided into a few components. It was finally broken down into the materials used to build the scroll. It also left behind the ritual to write the scroll and a ray of crystal light that symbolized the authority to modify.

Then, the different components began to reassemble step by step, replicating the entire process of making the modified authority scroll before Vincent’s eyes.

Vincent memorized every detail. He did not dare to miss a single step. This was because it was an opportunity for him to learn. He used one whole scroll for this opportunity!

Vincent looked at the sparkling light that symbolized the authority to modify and could not help but think greedily. If he could use this ray of light to grasp the authority to modify, then he would have an even more powerful trump card!

However, as the thought rose in Vincent’s mind, all the light in front of him instantly faded away, and the modified authority scroll ended up being just a piece of wastepaper.

Vincent looked at the scroll that had already been used up. He could not help but sigh in his heart that he had missed an opportunity to try. He was somewhat reluctant to use another scroll, so he could only give up resentfully.

Vincent got up and walked out of the fire shield. He went to Irene’s side, picked up a piece of paper and pen to write down a list. He handed it to Irene and said, “After you buy the house, use the remaining money to buy these materials. Buy as many as you can!”

Irene did not ask for the purpose behind his list. She only nodded and replied, “Okay!”

Then, Vincent sat back on the sofa and realized that there was a thick set of materials in front of him. After picking it up and flipping through the pages, he realized that this was the buyer who had deceived Irene back then.

Robert, a level 35 Subdragon. With his racial advantage, he could always obtain a large number of rare materials from the Dragon Race. Thus, he occupied a place in the capital of Ultimate Evil. However, he was greedy and ungrateful and did not have a solid ally. Nevertheless, given his status, the creatures still had to do business with him even if his reputation was in tatters!

The rest of the information recorded was the areas that Robert visited frequently. Vincent only took a quick glance and discovered a very interesting phenomenon. It seemed like the places Robert frequented the most were all businesses operated by the Bard Race!

Vincent smiled and sighed, “Looks like I’ll have to visit Marcus tomorrow!”

Irene did not smile when she heard what he said. She sighed and said, “Looks like Marcus is going to be unlucky!”

Vincent retorted weakly, “Hey, what are you talking about? I’m going to give them a great opportunity!”

The next day, Vincent did not put on any disguise. He swaggered down the streets of the capital of Ultimate Evil. His presence attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone in the capital of Ultimate Evil had watched the battles of Fire Asura, so everyone recognized his face.

What made everyone even more curious was that Vincent was heading in the direction of the Bard Race’s headquarters, the Paradise of Desire!
