Chapter 580

Reid looked at the other party with some contempt. "That is to say, you just gave me a blank check to trick me into coming here. If you can trick me once, naturally, you can trick me a second time. Why should I believe you? "

"I wouldn't say trick, I just used a little strategy." The man touched his nose. "As for why you should believe me, it's because I'm Quentin Carroll."

Hearing this name, Reid's pupils suddenly contracted. Naturally, he had heard of this name before.

Quentin Carroll was the former Director of the Punishment Division and the person with the longest tenure as the Director of the Punishment Division in this era, a full 3.6 million years. Moreover, before entering the Punishment Division, he had also served as the warden of Purgatory Gate for more than 1.5 million years.

This name was simply a legend. Rumor had it that this man had long become a Greatest King and was one of the most terrifying existences in the human camp. However, after retiring more than 800 years ago, no one had heard of this person again.

Reid could not believe that such an inconspicuous man in front of him was actually saying that he was Quentin Carroll. He felt that the other party was fooling him.

"You don't believe me, do you?" The man seemed to see through Reid's doubts.

Reid was about to say something when he realized that his surroundings had changed. He was originally at the port, but now he was in a courtroom.

"This is my miniature world — the Court of Justice," Quentin said, ejecting the identification on his wristwatch.

Quentin didn't hide anything and revealed his identity to Reid.

Reid's heart was in turmoil. He did not expect the other party to be the real Quentin Carroll. Although he knew from the beginning that the possibility of the other party being a fake was not high, because in a position like the Federal Government's headquarters, once exposed, it would be suicidal behavior. However, when he saw Quentin Carroll's identity data, he was still a little shocked.

"You really are …"

"Do you believe me now?" Quentin's lips curled up slightly.

"But why me?" Reid suddenly felt flattered.

"Firstly, you value friendship. Second, your background is clean. Thirdly, you have the power of a player and are capable of doing the job I'm giving you. "Quentin stated the three reasons why he had chosen Reid.

"In fact, I deliberately sent you that email to test you. I wanted to see what kind of person you were. And now, I'm very satisfied with the results of my test. The fact that you're willing to risk your life for a friend shows that you have a good character. "

After listening to the story, Reid's nervous mood finally relaxed a little.

"Although I have never come into contact with the Elder Council, I have heard some news. The Head Elder had fallen during the Empyrean Tribulation, and the Elders Council was now divided into three camps, vying for the position of Head. But I haven't heard of any of the three camps being led by you. "

"That's because I don't belong to any of the three camps." Quentin answered frankly, "In fact, I've been in the Elder Council for more than 800 years, and I haven't participated in a single Elder Council meeting. Of the more than 100 Elders, less than three have met me in the past 800 years. Most people think I've already fallen."

"Then what do you have to compete with them?" When Reid asked that question, he had already guessed that this would be the result. "Fighting for the chief position isn't just about strength, it's also about having connections."

"Of course I know that, that's why I need your help." A smile appeared on Quentin's slightly chubby face again. It was obvious that this guy's skin was thick to a certain extent.

"Rely on me? Anyone from the Elders Council could squash me to death with a single finger. " Although Reid's strength had increased a lot, he also knew what kind of people were in the Elder Council. If he stood in their way, he might be eliminated without anyone knowing.

"You don't have to worry about that. With me around, no one will dare to touch you." Quentin's words were also very domineering. He continued, "Although I haven't appeared in the Elder Council much, with my prestige, I can still poach some people. However, when it comes to poaching people, doing it too directly is equivalent to slapping others in the face. So, I need your help to come up with some poaching plans for me. I'll provide you with detailed information on those people in the Elder Council, but I have to tell you in advance that these people's information are top secret. You can't reveal it to anyone other than yourself. Otherwise, there's no need for others to send people to hunt you down, I'll be the first to kill you. "

Hearing this last sentence, cold sweat seeped out of Reid's back. "I understand that."

These people in the Elder Council used to be the highest-ranking members of the Federation Government. Each of their information was extremely confidential, and there were less than five people in the entire Cosmic Sea who had the authority to look at it. If it was accidentally leaked and other races found out, it would cause a huge blow to the Human Camp.

The fact that Quentin was willing to reveal this information to him showed that he had great trust in him. On the other hand, it also showed that he was eager to fight for the position of Chief.

Reid knew that Quentin had already revealed too much to him, and he had no way out. He pondered for a moment before asking again. "Are you sure that if you become Chief Elder Council, you can help me save Gu Ding?"

"If it were anyone else, I probably wouldn't have a good idea. After all, the rules of the Gates of Purgatory are there, and it's not easy to break them. However, Gu Ding is an era's demon. As long as we find a suitable reason, we can shorten his sentence. Moreover, as long as he agrees to some of the Federation Government's conditions, it's not impossible to directly release him. "Quentin raised his eyebrows. He did not think it was difficult.

As Quentin spoke, Reid kept staring at him. He could also see that Quentin was not lying about this matter.

"If you have any other questions, ask them all at once. I'll try my best to tell you the truth. After that, we'll officially get to work. " Quentin knew that it was unlikely that Reid would refuse him now, so he generously gave Reid the opportunity to ask questions.

"Why do you want to fight for the position of Chief? Don't tell me it's for power? " Reid felt that the motive for power was not very valid. Quentin had disappeared for more than eight hundred years and did not care about the affairs of the Elders Council. It was obvious that he was not a person who was passionate about power.

Hearing this question, Quentin stared at Reid for a long time before saying, "I can tell you the reason, but what you hear next, bury it completely in your heart. Don't let anyone else know about it."

"Okay." Reid nodded quickly. He could see that Quentin's gaze had become serious.

"The dream of every Greatest King is to break through to Heavenly God Realm, and I'm no exception. In the eight hundred years that I disappeared, I've been trying to break through to Heavenly God Realm, but I've always failed. However, even if I failed, it's not like I didn't gain anything. I found the reason why I couldn't break through, and that was because I didn't understand the rules enough. "

"You should also know that I used to be the warden of the Gates of Purgatory, and it wasn't a short period of time. In the Gates of Purgatory, there's a truly powerful existence. I was able to become a Greatest King because of a single sentence from him. Therefore, now that I've found the reason why I can't break through to Heavenly God Realm, I hope to be able to enter the Gates of Purgatory again and visit that powerhouse. This is also the only opportunity for me to break through to Heavenly God Realm. "

"However, anyone who has been the warden or keeper of the Gates of Purgatory will be rejected by the Gates of Purgatory after they lose their corresponding positions and leave the Gates of Purgatory. Only human leaders and Chief Elders have special authority to enter and exit the Gates of Purgatory at any time. I can't possibly fight for the position of human leader, right? The responsibility is too great. "

"I've been the director of the Punishment Division for many years, and I've seen too many fights for power. I've long lost interest in power. I fight for the position of Chief Elder just to fight for an opportunity to become a Heavenly God. Once I become a Heavenly God, I can directly resign from the position of Chief Elder. At that time, whoever wants to be the Chief Elder can take over. It has nothing to do with me. "

"In other words, you're fighting for this position just to break through to Heavenly God Realm." Reid frowned slightly when he heard this. "Then if you leave, what will those of us who help you get?"

Many people would definitely fight for the position of Chief Elder because they wanted to curry favor with the Chief Elder. However, from Quentin's words, it seemed like he was prepared to leave at any time. If that was the case, not many people would be willing to help him.

"Don't worry, before I leave, I'll definitely appoint someone I trust to take over the position of Chief Elder. When the time comes, you can just rely on that person. When I become a Heavenly God, I can appoint a Chief Elder, and no one will dare to say a word. "Quentin had also considered what would happen next.

"The people in the Council of Elders can rely on the Chief Elder, but with my status, I'm afraid I'll be abandoned when the time comes." Reid shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"With your status, it's true that you can't join the Council of Elders. To join the Council of Elders, one must have sufficient qualifications and contributions. Even if I become a Heavenly God, I can't change this rule." Quentin nodded. "So, where do you want to go? I can help you pave the way. If you want to join the political world, my apprentice is the current Director of the Punishment Department. He can ensure that your career will be smooth. "

"I want to join the Army." Reid shook his head and gave another answer.

"Although I haven't been in the Army before, I do know some old friends, and I believe they'll give me some face. However, the promotion process in the Army is more stringent, and it's not something that can be done with just a word from the higher-ups. You'll need to accumulate enough contributions. "Quentin did not expect Reid to make such a choice.

"I'll earn my own contributions. I just hope that I can do whatever I want." Reid was obviously a very ambitious person.

"I understand. It's settled then. You help me get the position of Chief Elder, and I'll help you rescue Gu Ding and arrange a position for you in the Army. "Quentin said and held out his hand." Happy working with you! "
