Starting With 3 S-Class Talents - Chapter 263

“Alright! I’m relieved to hear the Ultimate Evil Lord’s promise today!”

Vincent took the initiative to pull the Ultimate Evil Lord’s arm. He ended the banquet with great enthusiasm.

The Ultimate Evil Lord’s face was somewhat bitter. However, he still stood beside Vincent with some relief. He wore an awkward but polite smile and watched the nobles leave.

At the end, when the crowd dispersed, the Ultimate Evil Lord was no longer in the mood to speak. He patted Vincent on the shoulder and said in a low voice, “Alright, work hard!”

Vincent nodded slightly and sent the Ultimate Evil Lord off on his way respectfully.

Irene walked behind Vincent. She wanted to say something, but she did not dare to open her mouth. She could only say, “Go back!”

“Yes!” replied Vincent. He then returned to the room with Irene.

Just as he closed the door, Irene recounted everything she had seen and heard during the banquet to Vincent.

Irene sat by the bed and shook her head helplessly. She said, “I did not know about the secret room behind the changing room. I did not expect that the Ultimate Evil Lord has been hiding it from me for over 20 years. Now your plan has fallen through. The Bard Race and Feathered Monster Race are all in danger and do not dare to provoke you anymore. Let’s think of another plan!”

Vincent climbed onto the bed. He laid down with a tired face. He smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter! Our first plan has succeeded!”

“Succeeded?”

Irene turned her head to look at Vincent with a blank look. She frowned and thought about what she had missed. She did not know who Vincent was planning to cooperate with.

Vincent raised his hand and looked at his palm. He sighed softly, “In the end, he has found a loophole in the ability of the Ultimate Evil Lord. Although the capital of Ultimate Evil is his domain, he cannot control it in detail, which gives me a chance to take advantage of it!”

Irene looked at the mysterious Vincent and turned to lie down next to him. She asked him curiously by his ear, “When? Why didn’t I find out?”

Vincent felt the soft blow in his ear. Even if he did not have any romantic thoughts, he could not help but feel a little shaken. He sat up quickly and explained to Irene, “What you and the Ultimate Evil Lord saw today was what I wanted you to see! And my true cooperation was achieved in a place that you could not see. Those two idiots, Kaeger and Marcus, were just a distraction!”

“A distraction?”

Irene muttered softly and fell into deep thought. Shortly afterward, she looked at Vincent with a clear mind and said, “Your true partner is Adolphus! You guys agreed to cooperate when the Ultimate Evil Lord was dealing with Kaeger and Marcus!”

Vincent nodded and praised Irene.

“Smart!”

Irene thought for a while and sighed, “I have to say, your plan is too perfect. But I am very curious, how did you know that the Ultimate Evil Lord could monitor your every move? How can you be sure that Kaeger and Marcus would definitely anger the evil lord? If the evil lord did not discover or deal with Kaeger and Marcus, wouldn’t you have missed the chance to make a deal with Adolphus?”

Vincent shook his head gently. He smiled and said, “I have no idea what the evil lord is doing, but I can be sure that he has a strong desire to control the capital and his subordinates! He suddenly said that he was going to the changing room at the banquet, and he did not come out even after a long time. There must be a trap! Fortunately, Adolphus is a smart man. We played along and successfully fooled the evil lord and everyone else!”

Irene nodded because even she had been fooled by Vincent. Moreover, after seeing how enraged the evil lord was, it was no doubt that he had been fooled. This meant that Vincent had once again achieved his goal and successfully tricked the Ultimate Evil Lord.

“The Ultimate Evil Lord inquired about our relationship today. I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but I answered him according to our plan!” said Irene.

“Oh? Then what did he say?” asked Vincent.

Irene smiled slightly and looked at Vincent with great interest. She replied, “He didn’t say anything to me. He was just talking to himself and doubting your sexual orientation!”

Vincent felt awkward. He wanted to laugh but was unable to. He wanted to explain but he did not know what to say. He just shook his head helplessly and said, “Let him be! Just don’t let him come up with any bad ideas that have anything to do with you! Also, if there’s an opportunity tomorrow, please help me to arrange the meeting. I want to take a look at that Shadow Demon kid’s injuries!”

Irene nodded and said, “Okay, no problem!”

Vincent then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and stuffed it into Irene’s hand. He said, “Please check if there are any races that are suitable to participate in the competition. After that, make sure you arrange some opponents that they can’t beat. If they are too strong, then arrange for them to be my opponents. Anyway, I have three matches every day!”

Irene looked at the note in her hand. There was a densely packed list of materials written on it, but she knew in her heart that this was equivalent to a murder list. She could not help but ask with some lingering fear, “This, why is this?”

“This is the business deal that I have agreed upon with Adolphus. Moreover, as this is the first business deal, we must show our strength. Only then can Adolphus be more proactive and try his best to cooperate with us in the future!”

At that moment, Irene seemed to understand why Vincent wanted to cooperate with Adolphus. As they were in charge of the competitions in the Arena of Life and Death, Adolphus wanted to seize the opportunity to obtain benefits from them.

This is because only Adolphus knew who had been purchasing materials at a high price recently. Vincent on the other hand could control the matches and help Adolphus obtain the materials that he needed. This was the essence of their business cooperation.

However, this deal only seemed to be beneficial to Adolphus at that moment. To Vincent, it did not seem like he would be able to obtain as many benefits as compared to the offers proposed by Kaeger and Marcus.

Irene could not help but ask, “Can I ask? If we do these things for Adolphus, what can he do for you?”

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “What I need now is not something that he can do for me at this instant. I only need him at a crucial moment to be used as a trump card. I need a trump card in order to not be controlled by the Ultimate Evil Lord! Of course, if used properly, it might even become a trump card to control the evil lord in reverse!”

Irene thought for a moment and looked at the unfathomable Vincent. She shook her head to indicate that she did not understand, but she did not continue to ask.

“You go rest first! I’m going to train. Right now, I’m even more motivated to improve my cultivation!”

As Irene did not ask any more questions, Vincent turned to walk into the fire shield.
