Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After walking out of the top floor, Marcus led Vincent into the audience seats of the Arena of Life and Death. They found a relatively quiet corner and sat down.

The two of them chatted while watching the match.

Marcus suddenly asked, “Brother Fire Asura, is this your first time sitting in the audience seats and watching the match below?”

Vincent thought for a moment and confirmed that it was true, so he nodded with a smile.

Marcus continued to ask, “How is it? From a contestant to a spectator, how are you adapting to the change in your identity?”

Vincent noticed that Marcus was starting to care about him for no reason, so he ignored him. This was because Vincent knew that Marcus was the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense before talking about serious matters.

Vincent directly interrupted Marcus who was about to speak, “If you have something to say, just say it! Don’t blame me for not cooperating with you earlier. I spoke from Kaeger’s perspective. Your way is too evil. I can only say that your excuse is too lame. The Ultimate Evil Lord did not believe it at all. The current punishment is already at the maximum. Any more would be wishful thinking!”

However, Marcus was not angry. He just smiled and said, “Brother Fire Asura, you don’t have to blame yourself. In fact, I had already guessed that the Ultimate Evil Lord would punish Kaegar like this. That is also my purpose today! Now that my purpose has been achieved, I will definitely make up for the benefits that I had promised you earlier!”

Vincent cursed Marcus in his heart. What did he mean by not blaming himself? Which eye did he use to see that he was blaming himself?

However, on the surface, Vincent still pretended to be curious and asked, “What? Your goal today is not to directly kill the Feathered Monsters, but to get a share of their business?”

Marcus said proudly, “Brother! “Don’t underestimate the share. As long as I successfully intervene in the arms business, the Feathered Monsters’ business will no longer be an iron bucket. At that time, I can slowly move the entire market and take the opportunity to weaken the Feathered Monsters’ power. When they lose power, it will be a piece of cake for me to deal with them!”

Vincent looked at Marcus in surprise as if he had never thought of such a brilliant plan. He muttered and sighed, “I didn’t think that you would be able to think of such a brilliant plan based on the Ultimate Evil Lord’s hint and what he said. It seems that your mind is far above the Ultimate Evil Lord. Even his thoughts and reactions have become a part of your plan. It is indeed wonderful, wonderful!”

After hearing Vincent’s praise, Marcus was immediately in a good mood. His face was full of confidence.

While he was feeling pleased, Marcus did not forget to whisper into Vincent’s ear, “Brother Fire Asura, to be honest, although the Ultimate Evil Lord’s words are the most powerful in the capital of Ultimate Evil, his methods are too simple and his intelligence is not very high. Subordinates like us can make good use of this high-level creature without being noticed. In the future, when our business is on the right track, we will be able to get more benefits from the evil lord sooner or later!”

Vincent just nodded repeatedly. However, he could not believe that Marcus still had the face to say that the evil lord was not intelligent enough. He dared to belittle the Ultimate Evil Lord in front of him. This was simply courting death. As long as Vincent relayed these words to the Ultimate Evil Lord, Marcus’s ending would definitely be 10,000 times worse than Kaeger’s.

However, Vincent would not take action at that moment because he still needed Marcus to continue fighting with the Feathered Monsters.

“Since you are so confident that you can treat the evil lord as a plaything in your hands, then I look forward to our upcoming cooperation!” said Vincent to Marcus.

“Haha, Good! Brother Fire Asura is indeed straightforward. Sooner or later, I will prove it to you! You will not regret cooperating with me!” said Marcus very boldly.

He then turned his head and secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

As a big businessman who had lived in the capital of Ultimate Evil for so long, how could Marcus be a fool and disrespect the Ultimate Evil Lord in front of others?

However, based on their previous interactions, Marcus realized that when Vincent mentioned the Ultimate Evil Lord, there was not the slightest bit of respect in his tone. It must be because of his extremely arrogant personality.

In order for such a person to look up to him and achieve the goal of the cooperation, he had to cater to his interests and also express his disdain towards the strong and experts. Hence, it became an interesting scene where Marcus silently criticized Vincent.

Marcus thought that he had won Vincent’s respect with his words earlier. However, he did not know that Vincent would have personally sent him to the guillotine if he did not think that he was useful.

When the match was over, Vincent and Marcus walked out of the audience seat side by side. Both of them politely greeted each other goodbye and then turned to leave.

Marcus walked downstairs alongside the moving crowd, while Vincent turned to walk towards the quieter corridor.

After just a few steps, Vincent saw Kaeger rushing over in a hurry. He must have rushed over to check on the situation because of the Ultimate Evil Lord’s punishment.

Therefore, Vincent took the initiative to welcome him and asked with a worried expression, “What are you doing here at this time? The Ultimate Evil Lord doesn’t really want to see you!”

After seeing that Vincent still had the heart to remind him, Kaegar hurriedly frowned and asked, “What exactly happened? Why was our business torn apart and handed over to the Bard Race to manage?”

“You don’t know…”

Vincent pretended to sigh and then told Kaeger about what had just happened. He also emphasized that when Marcus had wantonly smeared his race, he had stood up recklessly and put in a good word for him. Only then did the punishment by the Ultimate Evil Lord changed from extermination to a very insignificant punishment.

After hearing that, cold sweat broke out on Kaeger’s back. He muttered and sighed, “According to what you said, if you had not stepped forward at the crucial moment, our Feathered Monster Race would have all died!”

Vincent lowered his head and sighed, “Not necessarily. Perhaps the Ultimate Evil Lord is also intending to show mercy to you, which is why he agreed to it so readily after I pleaded for mercy!”

Kaeger took a deep breath, with a grave expression, he said, “But no matter what, now that Marcus has interfered in the arms business, it’s equivalent to stabbing a knife in the heart of the Feathered Monster Race. No matter what, I have to find the Ultimate Evil Lord and reason with him again. Even if the punishment of our Feathered Monster Race cannot be reduced, we must not allow the Bard Race to gain such a huge advantage!”

Vincent suddenly smiled and said, “Now that you want to exonerate the Feathered Monster Race, I have indeed no other way. But if you want to make the Bard Race pay the same price, I have a way!”

Kaeger quickly asked, “Oh? What way?”

Vincent said with a smile, “Use the same method to return the favor!”
