Chapter 309

When Vincent walked into the office, he saw Marcus and the pile of scrolls in front of him. He could roughly guess what had happened. He asked, “Oh my God! Isn’t that a modification authority scroll that symbolizes the power of authority? You actually have so many of them! Aren’t you afraid of arousing the jealousy of others?”

Marcus said indifferently, “What is this? Today, not only me, but all the major races have sent their men to the streets to snatch the scrolls. Their gains will definitely not be less than mine. When that time comes, it’s not certain who will be jealous!”

Vincent looked at Marcus’s furrowed brows and slightly troubled expression. He could not help but ask, “Since you won’t be envied, it’s a good thing to have many power scrolls! Why do I still see a solemn expression on your face? Do you have something on your mind?”

Marcus shook his head. With a helpless expression, he said, “Rumor has it that as long as you can modify the authority scroll and restore the process of making the scroll, you can take the opportunity to obtain the power to modify the authority. However, I’ve tried several times, but why haven’t I succeeded? I thought that since you were chased by Jackson before, you should have some understanding of modifying the authority, so I wanted to ask for your opinion!”

Vincent smiled as he walked forward and casually looked at the pile of scrolls in front of him. He shook his head and said, “Haven’t you ever thought that these scrolls might be fake? Although I don’t know much about the talent of the Lingluo Race, I at least know that god-level abilities are definitely not cabbages. How could they possibly fill the entire capital of Ultimate Evil?”

Marcus was instantly stunned when he heard that. A trace of surprise and regret could not help but flash through his heart. For the sake of the scrolls in his hands, he had made countless enemies in the capital of Ultimate Evil. Many of the forces that had previously maintained a neutral position had also been offended by Marcus.

If he were to verify that all the scrolls that he obtained were fake, then Marcus would definitely become the target of public criticism. Not only would he suffer the suspicion of the Ultimate Evil Lord for no reason, but he would also have to suffer the revenge of the other races that he had offended!

Therefore, even if Vincent’s reminder was very likely, Marcus did not want to believe that Vincent’s words were true. At the very least, he could still preserve the last glimmer of hope for himself.

Marcus asked carefully, “Last time when Jackson was hunting you, did he use the authority to modify?”

Vincent nodded and replied, “Yes!”

“Then did you see him use the scroll to modify authority?”

Vincent pretended to be at a loss and shook his head. He said, “I ran extremely fast at that time. He did not have time to use the scroll. After all, I also had the power of authority and knew how to deal with Jackson. That was why I ran all the way up the stairs. I did not give Jackson the chance to display his full strength! Speaking of which, if I had slowed down a little back then, I might have been like you guys. I might have been able to obtain a scroll to modify the authority. Perhaps I would have been able to activate my second authority. At that time, my strength would have risen to another level!”

After hearing that, Marcus looked at Vincent with a complicated expression. He replied bitterly, “Actually, in that case, you haven’t seen a scroll to modify the authority, right? So you can’t actually judge whether these scrolls are real or fake!”

Vincent noticed that Marcus was still so naive. He still had high hopes for the fake scrolls in his hands. He could not help but shake his head and sigh, “Although I’ve never seen a modified authority scroll, I’ve seen other scrolls too! All the scrolls that record high-level abilities have a shimmering glow on their surfaces, but these scrolls that supposedly have god-level abilities have nothing at all. Moreover, the materials that were used to write on the scrolls are also very sloppy. How could they be authentic scrolls? It’s obviously a crude and shoddy forgery made for mass production purposes!”

Vincent’s tone was very confident. At the same time, he deliberately turned around to avoid Marcus’s gaze, the corners of his mouth secretly curled into an imperceptible smile.

Marcus put down the fake scroll in his hand. He suddenly understood something. He hurriedly stood up and asked, “That’s not right! If you only know about the flame authority, how could you know so much about the modification authority? You must have seen a real modification authority scroll! Am I right?”

Vincent’s back was facing Marcus and he lowered his head slightly. It was obvious that he was snickering, but Marcus saw it and thought that Vincent was hesitating whether to tell him the truth.

Marcus walked in front of Vincent and asked with utmost sincerity, “Brother Fire Asura! We have the strongest cooperative relationship. If you know something, you must not hide it from me! You must know that the power of authority is of great importance. It concerns the life and death of my Bards!”

Vincent stopped snickering. He put on an expression where he was trying to be difficult but also somewhat decisive and said to Marcus, “Alright, then I’ll tell you what I know! Actually, when Jackson was chasing after me, I didn’t see him use a modification authority scroll. However, just now, I saw a real modification authority scroll. It’s completely different from the trash on your desk. The details of it can be seen at a glance. Moreover, that someone already has the authority to modify! He performed it right in front of me!”

Marcus widened his eyes and asked in shock, “Who is that person? Could It be Kaeger?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “No, it’s Adolphus!”

Marcus was stunned at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and looked at Vincent, saying, “On the surface, you are cooperating with me, but you have been secretly working with Adolphus for a long time, right?”

Vincent nodded helplessly. At the same time, he said with regret, “To tell you the truth, in the last match in the Arena of Life and Death, in order to obtain freedom, I had to kill my own disciple with my own hands. But then Adolphus called me over and resurrected my disciple’s corpse in front of me, using a power of attorney scroll. From then on, my disciple began to work for him! After that, Adolphus used authority to threaten me. He asked me to help him deliver some materials from the arena. You should be able to guess the details!”

Marcus furrowed his brows tightly. Of course, he could understand Adolphus’s motive for doing all this!

He wanted to show Vincent his strength to achieve the effect of intimidation. After that, Vincent could help him produce the materials he wanted in the arena. The fake scrolls that were distributed all over the streets and alleys were most likely created by Adolphus. This was because this way, no one would be able to notice that he had secretly obtained the ability to modify authority.

At the same time, Marcus felt a sense of crisis. This was because the Evil Spirit Race, the Bard Race, and the Feathered Monster Race had always been three forces that were neck to neck. It was currently time for the Feathered Monster Race and Bard Race to both suffer heavy losses. Once Adolphus took the opportunity to become stronger, would there not be another high-ranking noble who would ride on the Bard Race’s head in the future?

This was something that Marcus would never allow to happen!

Marcus said in a deep voice, “Brilliant Adolphus, he has a good plan! I definitely won’t let him off so easily!”

When Vincent saw this, he immediately said, “I couldn’t stand Adolphus being so controlling, so I told you everything. But I’m also involved in this matter, so it’s not convenient for me to help you! But I can recommend a candidate to join forces with you!”

Marcus asked curiously, “Who?”

Vincent smiled and said, “Kaeger!”
