Chapter 257: Was Envied and Remembered
Ebenezer had won the duel. Not only did he receive Vincent’s praise, but he also received the cheers of the entire audience.
In the Arena of Life and Death, as long as it was a battle where the weak defeated the strong, the audience would naturally love it.
Although Ebenezer only defeated the Rockman because of Vincent’s reminder, he was still the one who made a move. It was still an exciting battle where a level 21 creature had killed a level 26 creature.
Moreover, Ebenezer had used the Shadow Demon Race’s method to defeat the Rockman, who had restrained him. The brand-new attack allowed him to take advantage of the slightest opportunity to carry out the assassination. It was also very enjoyable to watch.
“Although I’m quite tired of watching the Fire Asura’s matches, it would be a good experience to see his disciple assassinate someone in the future!”
“Didn’t you hear what Fire Asura said? As long as the Shadow Demon wins this match, he will get to become his disciple. In the future, we might even have another Fire Asura!”
“Now that you mention it, I’m really looking forward to the Shadow Demon’s battles!”
The audience applauded once again. They were looking forward to Ebenezer’s next battle.
In the arena, Ebenezer was really excited. Suddenly, he lost all his strength. He stumbled backward and fell to the ground. However, he did not forget to turn his head to look at Vincent and muttered, “I won! I’m a qualified warrior!”
“Recuperate well! After I’m done with the matters at hand, I’ll visit you!” said Vincent with a smile.
He then waved his hand to the people below the stage and called for a manager. He wanted to ask them to help carry Ebenezer off the stage.
Ebenezer, who was lying on the stretcher did not forget to look at him as he was about to leave the stage. Vincent was extremely satisfied with him. If this young man was properly groomed, he would definitely become a great assassin!
At the same time, Vincent also needed such a helper in the capital of Ultimate Evil. As Ebenezer was grateful towards him, their relationship would definitely be able to have unreserved trust. Moreover, his talent would allow him to grow rapidly. He would soon become his own person.
Vincent sighed softly, “Kid! I will do my best to teach you. Grow up quickly and let me see your true potential!”
Following that, three battles against the Fire Asura were held in the arena. It was obvious who won every round. After Cyril’s death, there was not a single participant in the arena who could withstand a single move from Vincent.
After the battle ended, Vincent was too lazy to even leave the arena. He waved to the audience around him casually. He then raised his hand and threw a flame into the air. After that, he disappeared.
“Huh?”
All the spectators who thought that nothing special was going on suddenly looked up into the sky with shock in their eyes!
“He jumped down from the sky just now! Could it be that his room is upstairs?”
“Nonsense! That’s the top floor of the arena. Only the Ultimate Evil Lord and some high-ranking nobles can stay there. How can the participants live there?”
“I think it’s very possible. I heard some rumors yesterday that the Ultimate Evil Lord not only favored Fire Asura, but also intend to marry his adopted daughter to him. Maybe the two of them are living together!”
A few of the audience members were chatting in shock. When the rest of the audience heard the rumors, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Who would have thought that although Vincent’s performance in the arena was becoming duller and duller, his performance outside the arena was outstanding!
He only had the identity of a participant but he was already living on the top floor of the Arena of Life and Death. It was a true honor!
Vincent, who had flashed into the room through the flames, saw that Irene had just returned to the room at the same time. There were also a few managers following behind her. They were carrying something big into the room.
Irene gave him a subtle look. Vincent noticed it and walked to the bedside quietly. He then laid down lazily. He watched Irene as she instructed the managers to assemble a sofa to replace the one that Vincent had burned down.
After that, the manager placed a semi-transparent glass cover at the corner of the room. It was an isolated space made only for one person.
After the manager took care of everything, he turned around and said respectfully to Irene, “Miss Irene, everything has been arranged!”
“Alright, you can leave now!” replied Irene faintly.
The manager turned around and left. He took the initiative to close the door behind him.
Irene once again went forward to check. Everything was indeed done. She then turned around and walked to the bedside.
She said to Vincent, “This is a fire shield, one of the best collectibles of the evil lord. It has the ability to isolate the fire. After hearing your request, he sent it over without saying a word!”
Vincent nodded and said with a smile, “It seems that the evil lord is more generous than I thought! I have to be wary of him!”
Irene looked at Vincent with some confusion and said curiously, “Wary of him? I don’t think there’s a need! You’re asking him for the management rights of the Arena of Life and Death. I think he will find a way to satisfy you!”
Vincent said very clearly, “It’s exactly because he will give me any benefits, that’s why I have to be wary. No matter what, the Ultimate Evil Lord is still a big shot. It’s not easy to earn so many benefits from him!”
“But he has gotten arrogant…,” said Irene softly, still expressing her doubts towards Vincent.
Vincent stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the arena below and sighed, “Even so, after giving me so many precious items, he should have come to his senses! But he was still able to meet my requirements without hesitation. This means that he will definitely make me pay for it in the future. How can he escape unscathed when he is seeking the skin of a tiger?”
After hearing this, Irene could not help but ask, “Then what will he take from you?”
Vincent shook his head calmly. He was not afraid that the evil lord would target him. After all, he had many ways to protect himself. Instead, he looked at Irene with worry.
Irene asked with a shocked expression, “Me?”
Vincent nodded and said, “He should not use you to try to control me. Because if he fails, all his previous efforts will be in vain! So from now on, we must cooperate well. We must create a performance that I don’t care about you at all so that he won’t use you against me!”
“Yes!” answered Irene nervously.
She could not help but ask, “If he doesn’t bring me up, then how will he deal with you?”
Vincent was silent for a moment. He sighed and said, “I don’t know! But he will definitely find an opportunity to make me give up and bow down to him completely. From then on, I will become a puppet that only listens to his orders. As for when and how he wants to do this, I am not certain!”
