Chapter 287: The Hooligan Routine: Trading Life for Life
The Ultimate Evil Lord, who was watching the battle from the top floor, sighed in boredom.
He stretched his back and sighed helplessly, “Now that the Fire Asura is gone, Irene doesn’t pay as much attention to the match schedule. It is really a little boring!”
At the same time, he heard two faint footsteps.
He tilted his ear and immediately knew the identity of the person who was approaching him. He smiled and sighed, “Good, although the duels in the arena have become boring. The scene outside the arena has become much better!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Vincent and Kaeger walked into the hall one after another.
Kaeger walked forward and knelt in front of the evil lord with one knee as he said in a deep voice, “Evil lord, our Feathered Monster Race has always been loyal to you and has no other intentions. Why do you want to suppress our Feathered Monster Race to death? You even gave great benefits to the Bard degenerates. Do you want to purge the Feathered Monster Race in the capital of Ultimate Evil? If that’s the case, evil lord, you don’t need to trouble yourself. Just give the order, and the Feathered Monster Race will kill anyone who is below them. They will never resist!”
He did not look wronged or like he was crying. He was simply expressing his loyalty to the evil lord in the most direct way. At the same time, he was questioning the injustice he had encountered.
When the evil lord heard this, he only nodded slightly. His gaze did not fall on Kaeger, but on Vincent, who was standing in front of the door.
It was one thing for Marcus and Kaeger to stand on opposite sides, but what made the evil lord even more curious was why Vincent had accompanied the two of them to look for him.
Which side was this kid on?
Vincent noticed the evil lord’s gaze and hurriedly said with a smile, “Don’t misunderstand! I only ran into Mr. Kaeger by chance and saw that he was full of grievances, so I thought that we might have misunderstood him previously. That’s why I accompanied him to look for you!”
“Misunderstood?”
The evil lord looked at Vincent. He did not expect that he would change his mind so quickly after Marcus had just left.
Was he going to join Kaeger?
The evil lord thought for a moment, lowered his head, and said to Kaeger, “Marcus had personally reported that you colluded with Jackson and had sneaked him into the capital of Ultimate Evil. He almost killed the Fire Asura and took the opportunity to destroy the capital of Ultimate Evil! Although the evidence is insufficient, with my temper, I would rather kill wrongly than let it go. I originally wanted to kill all of you, the Feathered Monster Race. However, given the Fire Asura’s pleading for the Feathered Monster Race, I changed the punishment to the current one. If you are not satisfied, then tell me about your cooperation with Jackson. Otherwise, the punishment I have imposed on the Feathered Monster Race will never change!”
After hearing what the evil lord had said, Kaeger noticed that it was exactly the same as what Vincent said to him before. He could immediately conclude that Vincent was telling the truth and that he was definitely on his side. So, he followed Vincent’s advice and said, “Marcus’s slander is made out of nothing. I’m afraid that no matter how I explain, I won’t be able to clear the suspicion you have on me. But in the end, it’s all because our Feathered Monster Race has been acting too arrogantly recently and has attracted the jealousy of others. It’s only right that we receive this punishment. I am not hoping for the evil lord to pardon our Feathered Monster Race. Instead, I only hope that the evil lord will punish the Bards severely!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord had a blank look on his face. He had never thought that Kaeger would be so crazy. He would rather risk his own business to make Marcus suffer the same fate as him. It was a way of trading his life for his own!
Such a hooligan-like request did not seem like the methods of a veteran businessman. Instead, it was more like the idea of that scoundrel Fire Asura.
“Kaeger, I know you are angry, but taking revenge on the Bards is simply the act of a child! Why should I punish the Bards without any evidence?” said the Ultimate Evil Lord.
He lowered his head, spread his hands, and said to Kaeger, indicating that there was nothing he could do about this matter.
If anyone in the capital of Ultimate Evil approached the evil lord whenever they wanted to punish others, then the capital of Ultimate Evil would already be in chaos. The capital would not have its current prosperity.
Therefore, even if he knew that Kaeger had been wronged and understood his request, the evil lord could not agree to it.
Without a proper excuse to stir trouble, the Ultimate Evil Lord would never punish any citizen in the capital of Ultimate Evil!
Kaeger was not disappointed. It was as if he had expected the evil lord to reply that way. He immediately said, “The Bards are rebellious and control all the entertainment channels in the capital of Ultimate Evil. They have taken the opportunity to spread some rumors. They have also spread some false news in the name of the Ultimate Evil Lord many times in order to make profits whilst doing business. If the Ultimate Evil Lord doesn’t want to punish them severely, I’m afraid that the citizens in the capital will have to listen to the orders of the Bards in the future!”
When the evil lord heard this, he was greatly surprised. He could not help but look up at Vincent. He knew that Vincent had gone to the Paradise of Desire not long ago. He wanted to use Vincent to verify whether what Kaeger said was true.
When Vincent saw this, he spread his hands helplessly and said, “When I went to find Marcus, he welcomed me into the VIP room. There were only two Feathered Monster girls serving me. I did not see any other guests, so I do not know whether what Kaeger said is true or not!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord immediately frowned when he heard that and sighed in a deep voice, “Feathered Monster women? Where did they come from? All the women from the Feathered Monster Race were punished by me. They are supposed to be maids in the Arena of Life and Death. Why are they in the Paradise of Desire?”
Kaeger took the opportunity to say, “As early as the day when the evil lord punished me, Marcus began to spread the news when he went back, saying that the evil lord had ordered all the Feathered Monster women to be slaves. He then found an excuse to buy a few of the Feathered Monster women who were living on the streets. This is irrefutable evidence that he had used the evil lord’s name to seek personal benefits!”
When the evil lord heard this, he felt a burst of anger in his heart. The Bards understood the internal strife between the various races in the capital of Ultimate Evil. He was also happy to see other creatures surrounding him and trying to please him.
Some of the methods that he used were unforgivable by the Ultimate Evil Lord.
The evil lord would never allow anyone to use his name for personal gain. This would be tantamount to dividing his power and weakening his image in the hearts of the citizens of the capital of Ultimate Evil. It was an unforgivable sin!
The evil lord said coldly, “In that case, it seems that it is indeed time for the Bards to be punished! Kaeger, how do you think we should punish them?”
After hearing this, Kaeger did not conceal his hatred towards the Bards at all, he immediately said, “Evil lord, please order the Bards to hand over the management rights of the Paradise of Desire. My Feathered Monster Race is willing to buy the Paradise of Desire from you at twice the price!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord could not help but be secretly delighted when he heard this. At the same time, he praised Kaeger’s boldness greatly. This was because if Kaeger took the opportunity to avoid the punishment on the Feathered Monster Race, he would absolutely not allow it. However, if Kaegar did not mention the matter of the Feathered Monster Race being punished and only wanted to severely punish the Bard Race, then it would be in accordance with the evil lord’s plan.
Moreover, allowing the Bards and the Feathered Monsters to invade each other’s business would have the effect of counterbalancing one another, so why would he not agree?
“Alright, we’ll do as you say!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord nodded and agreed to Kaeger’s request.
