Chapter 306 - Be Ruthless and Clean Up After Breaking

After seeing their leader, the Rock Man beheaded on the spot, the group of creatures who wanted to kill Vincent and snatch the food from Irene was shocked. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on them, instantly extinguishing their fighting spirit without a trace.

However, if they were to turn around and leave, they would feel indignant. After all, in the underground world, there were many creatures who often traveled above and below the ground. However, only Irene had the ability to bring them a large amount of food every time. As a result, she could monopolize high-grade materials and weapons in every transaction.

Therefore, on one hand, everyone was greedy. On the other hand, they were jealous of Irene. This made them want to convince themselves to keep chasing after her. Perhaps her strength could only cause an attack like the one earlier. They thought that maybe she would become weaker after that attack.

“Pa!”

Just as they were hesitating, a crisp snapping sound was heard from the tunnel in front of them.

Immediately after, countless fire lines sealed off the entire area at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, a large hollow fireball enveloped everyone within.

As the fire lines gradually expanded and turned into thick flames, everyone could feel the terrifying temperature. Only then did they begin to regret not leaving earlier!

“Let us out, I, I, we will leave immediately! We don’t dare to offend you anymore!”

“We regret it! We were all bewitched by others, give us a chance!”

Some of the creatures began to plead in the flames, but no one responded to their pleas. Only when the flames engulfed them did the flames disappear along with the cries.

Vincent, who had already walked far, suddenly stopped and pulled Irene to turn his head to look behind him. They saw Ebenezer walking out from the shadows.

“Don’t worry, master. No one is following us!” said Ebenezer as he walked closer.

Vincent nodded and said softly, “The fire cage that I set up has just been activated. I’ve already given them the chance to live. The remaining creatures who died in the sea of fire are the ones who asked for it!”

Irene said with some difficulty, “The array masters and craftsmen you asked me to look for previously lived in the deepest part of the underground world. If we keep walking, there will be many creatures that would appear. They will be hostile to us like the ones before. What should we do?”

Vincent looked at Irene and smiled with great relief. He said, “Haven’t you realized that you have the most resources in this so-called underground world?”

Irene nodded and said, “Of course I know! But these resources are used to trade with others, what else can they be used for?”

Vincent said somewhat helplessly, “You are too kind and simple! You have an absolute amount of resources, which is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of everyone here. You are actually the true ruler of this place. It is only because you have no ambition and did not suppress the creatures living here in time that it attracted the covetous eyes of so many of them. And we are going to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil. Once they lose your support, it will be even more difficult for those who live here to continue to survive. Therefore, we have to carry out a purge of the underground world and re-establish the rules. Only this way can the small world in the capital of Ultimate Evil continue to exist. As the ruler, we have to make a decisive decision. The determination to break through and stand tall!”

Irene nodded, not fully understanding him. She then shook her head and said, “What ruler? I have never thought of myself as a ruler, but I understand your meaning. Do whatever you want! It’s better to let a portion of creatures continue to live than to let everyone starve to death underground!”

Vincent turned his head and gave Ebenezer a look. He immediately disappeared into the darkness and began to quickly explore ahead. He locked onto the directions of the living crowd.

After receiving the news, Vincent and Irene strode over. Along the way, he shouted loudly, “From today onwards, Irene is the king of the underground world! If anyone is unconvinced, just step forward!”

As Vincent brought Irene through the city, his voice quickly attracted the attention of many creatures.

Some creatures were driven by greed, while others were driven by ambition. Whether it was for the food in Irene’s hands or for the title of the king of the underground world, there were always creatures who did not believe in Irene and attacked Vincent.

However, Vincent did not feel any pressure at all against those creatures who could not even survive in the capital of Ultimate Evil aboveground. Along the way, flames suddenly rose and destroyed all those who tried to resist. No one could withstand his flames for even a moment.

Those creatures were completely burned to ashes in just one exchange. They did not have time to even let out a scream.

When Vincent walked to the deepest part of the underground world, countless members of the underground world crawled on the ground behind him along the way.

This was because Vincent had announced that those who opposed Irene becoming the king had to stand up, and all those who stood had just died. Therefore, those who wanted to survive had to stay low and crawl on the ground!

In the deepest part of the sewer pipe, there was a simple room made of wood. Following the arrival of Vincent and Irene, two figures walked out from the room one after the other. They looked at Vincent with curiosity and fear.

Irene held Vincent’s hand and introduced them to him, “These two are the helpers that I’ve helped you find! Janos, a gnome who is a professional craftsman, and Lilis, a butterfly woman who is part of the Beast Race. She is a professional array master!”

Vincent looked curiously at the butterfly woman named Lilis. She had a slim body like a human woman. However, she had a thick pair of wings that were covered in phosphate powder. Her face was completely different from that of a human. She also had two long tentacles. She indeed had the characteristics of a beast!

He did not expect a beast to live underground in the capital of Ultimate Evil. However, at that moment, Vincent was not in the mood to talk about the past with the butterfly woman. He turned his head and looked at the members of the underground world who were crawling all over the ground. He said in a deep voice, “The reason why you are able to live until now is that you have received Irene’s favor. However, some of you do not know how to be grateful. Instead, you even have the delusion of harming Irene. This is the reason why I am going to kill creatures today! All of you who survived can be considered to have passed the test. Therefore, I will allow you to continue living. However, you must follow the rules that Irene has set. Otherwise, what awaits you will only be death!”

“Yes!”

Everyone who was still alive had already witnessed Vincent’s terrifying methods. Naturally, they would follow Vincent’s orders obediently.

As long as Vincent wanted Irene to become the king of the underground world, they could only respect Irene as their king!

Vincent turned to look at the confused Irene, smiled, and said, “You have lived longer in the capital of Ultimate Evil than I have. You must know many ways to obtain things. If you want them to live, help them establish a set of rules that will prevent them from starving to death!”

Irene was startled. She then nodded.
