Chapter 245: Turning the Tables and Controlling Everything
All the contestants glared at Vincent. Their eyes were filled with regret and unwillingness.
They had once thought that Vincent was just a crazy and selfish powerhouse. In order to try to obtain freedom, he was willing to sacrifice the lives of all the other contestants. He even persuaded everyone shamelessly.
And for the sake of freedom, the contestants who would rather die were willing to admit that he was a powerhouse, and had accompanied him in such a tragic attempt to escape!
Everyone felt like they had been deceived when they saw the scene. This guy claimed that he wanted to be free. However, when everyone was trying their best to rush out of the capital, he stayed in his room with the daughter of the Ultimate Evil Lord. It was easy for them to imagine what they did last night!
Everyone felt like their sacrifices were not worth it. They had almost sacrificed their lives for a riot, but Vincent exchanged it for a chance to have a tryst!
How could such a person be worthy of everyone’s trust?
Such a person, even if they were scolded a thousand times or ten thousand times, it was not enough to vent the anger in everyone’s hearts!
“Fire Asura, you…”
Just as someone was about to continue cursing at him, Vincent’s gaze suddenly turned cold. He looked at the person who was about to speak and shouted angrily, “Shut up! Didn’t I already tell you all? This is an attempt, an attempt that will pay a price! And I have already succeeded. From today onwards, everyone’s opponents will be decided by Miss Irene and me. I think you should understand what I mean. From today onwards, in the Arena of Life and Death, those who submit to me will prosper, and those who defy me will die!”
The anger on the contestants’ faces instantly disappeared. They turned to look at Vincent with a shocked expression. If what he said was true, then those who were willing to submit to him would not meet the opponents that they did not want to meet. Instead, there was a possibility that they could live longer in the arena and there might even be a chance for them to last a hundred rounds!
Or perhaps after Vincent successfully leaves the Arena of Life and Death, the other contestants could also try to obtain the position of Fire Asura. From there, they could negotiate with the Ultimate Evil Lord and continue to maintain the right to control the competition!
For a moment, all the contestants saw a glimmer of hope. Although the hope was very slim and required all the contestants to wash away the sand and even pay the price of their lives, they knew that they did not have any hope in the first place. Therefore, this was enough support for them to continue living!
One of the contestants asked, “You. Is what you said true?”
Vincent did not say anything. Instead, he turned to look at Irene who was beside him.
Irene understood and looked at all the contestants. She said seriously, “Mr. Vincent has already received the approval of the Ultimate Evil Lord. From now on, I will come and discuss the name list of every match with him!”
“Holy sh*! Fire Asura can do it! I have wronged you previously!”
“Fire Asura, good job. I didn’t expect you to really succeed!”
“I knew it. I believe you are right!”
All the contestants immediately offered their compliments to Vincent. They were cheering non-stop in the room.
Irene looked at the contestants who turned hostile faster than flipping through a book. She could not help but say to Vincent, “This group of people is even easier to deceive than I thought!”
Vincent said in a low voice, “This is not cheating. This is already the best news for them! After all, without me, there would only be one outcome based on their strength, and that is to all die here!”
Irene instantly understood the meaning behind Vincent’s words. She nodded and did not say another word. She walked past the long corridors and disappeared from the contestants’ sight.
In the days that followed, Vincent had indeed fulfilled his promise. The contestants who were locked on the same floor had undoubtedly obtained victory in the following matches. This was because their opponents had been specially arranged by Vincent to be five levels lower than them.
This made all the contestants no longer doubt Vincent’s ability. They were even very glad that they had chosen to trust Vincent from the beginning. They treated Vincent more and more sincerely as their king.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. It was time for another yard break. All the contestants were let out of their rooms. They then gathered in the corridor.
Compared to the chaos last time, all the contestants were lining up in the corridor respectfully this time round. They listened to Vincent’s lecture obediently.
“Cough, cough!”
Vincent cleared his throat and said to everyone, “Today’s yard time will be longer than the last time because you can go to the other floors and communicate with the other contestants there. I hope that you can help me convey a message. If someone is willing to listen to me, then he can live longer. But if someone is unwilling to listen to my orders, then he will be my next opponent!”
“Yes!”
All the contestants answered in unison. They were all Vincent’s loyal believers. They were ready to represent Vincent and spread his will.
At ten in the evening, Irene came to Vincent with the list of names for the next match. She wanted to ask for his opinion.
Vincent waved his hand and said, “Go in first and wait for me. I need to hear what the other contestants have to say when they come back. I’ll then confirm their opponents for tomorrow!”
Irene nodded and did not say anything more. She walked into Vincent’s room with ease.
After a while, the contestants who had gone to the other floors came back. They all sent good news to Vincent with happy eyes.
Only a few contestants deliberately went to Vincent’s side before entering the room, they said in a low and quick voice, “Boss Fire Asura, Cyril is not giving you any face at all. He and his men have expressed their unwillingness to cooperate with you. They are very arrogant!”
Under the supervision of the manager, the contestants did not dare to stay any longer after returning. They could only inform Vincent of the important news and quickly returned to their respective rooms.
Vincent nodded silently. He then turned and returned to his own room.
Irene sat on the bed and asked curiously, “There’s news?”
Vincent asked in return, “Who is Cyril?”
Irene immediately replied, “Cyril is a unique race born in the Thunder Pool World. He has the appearance of a goshawk, but has the talent to use the thunder element. He is known as the king of all beasts born in a high-level world, and has gathered a group of subordinates with abilities related to wild beasts in the arena. He is now a level 29 creature, and together with the deceased ghost and dragon, he is known as one of the strongest three creatures in the arena!”
Vincent nodded and sighed in disdain, “Oh, so it’s that guy who was scared off by General Hell!
At the same time, Irene’s introduction to Cyril also reminded Vincent of the Bear Emperor, Thunder. That guy had a similar ability to Thunder and even had the appearance of a beast. If this guy was really allowed to live, or even leave the Arena of Life and Death, perhaps it would bring some chaos to the Beast Race!
In addition, Cyril was very disrespectful to him, so Vincent was determined to get rid of him!
“From now on, I will arrange the matches for Cyril and his subordinates!” said Vincent in a deep voice.
