Chapter 258 - Attending The Banquet
Vincent suddenly asked Irene, "Right! Can you help me arrange a meeting? I want to see that Ebenezer!"
Irene shook her head helplessly and said, "Ever since he was carried off the stage, he fell into a coma. Even if you go to see him, he won"t know anything. You"re better off worrying about your own matters!"
Vincent twisted his neck and said confidently, "What do I have to worry about? As long as I don"t reveal any flaws, the evil lord will not be able to find an opportunity to deal with me even if he wanted to. I think I might as well be a little more impudent. Go and help me ask the evil lord for some materials that can help the Shadow Demon Race cultivate and then send them to Ebenezer!"
Irene looked at Vincent who was getting more and more outrageous with his request. She could not help but shake her head. She sighed and said, "Okay, as long as you make a request, I will follow it, but you should also make some preparations. After tomorrow"s match ends, you would have won 30 matches. You will then be qualified to have dinner with the Ultimate Evil Lord. At that time, you have to be ready to communicate with him face to face!"
"Huh? Aren"t there four matches left?" asked Vincent. He was surprised.
Irene smiled and said, "The Ultimate Evil Lord said that with your current strength, there"s no difference between three matches and four matches a day. I"ll slot in one more match for you tomorrow. The party that he"s organizing cannot be postponed. It concerns his reputation!"
Vincent nodded and said, "That"s good too. This way, we can end the remaining matches earlier!"
He then turned around and walked into the fire s.h.i.+eld to continue training.
Irene looked at Vincent"s figure entering the s.h.i.+eld. She said softly, "Goodnight!" She then reluctantly returned to her bed and slept.
When morning came, Irene knocked gently on the fire s.h.i.+eld to remind Vincent to wake up from his training.
Vincent could not help but ask curiously, "Why did you wake me up so early?"
Irene pursed her lips and said, "Don"t forget that you still have to attend the banquet today, so your four matches have all been arranged during the day. Do your best!"
Vincent shook his head helplessly. After was.h.i.+ng up, he turned around and left. He walked towards the arena alone.
In the Arena of Life and Death, Vincent already had all the privileges that he could have. All the managers had already stopped provoking him. After all, Vincent"s current strength was not something that managers like them could manage!
There was an iron rule in the arena. Without the permission of the Ultimate Evil Lord, no manager was allowed to cause fatal damage to the contestants. This was because all the contestants were the personal belongings of the Ultimate Evil Lord.
However, the managers who went to knock on Fire Asura"s door the last time were all severely burned and had not recovered.
After completing the usual procedures, Vincent walked into the arena. The audience cheered lazily for him. Vincent could not be bothered. He just wanted to complete the battles for the day.
If not for the host"s announcements and the time it took for him to go on stage, Vincent would only need less than twenty minutes to complete all four matches!
"Fire Asura has successfully won 30 consecutive matches! Let us congratulate him on being one step closer to freedom. At the same time, he has the opportunity to have dinner with the Lord of Ultimate Evil. At the same time, all the n.o.bles in the capital of Ultimate Evil will be present to congratulate him as well!"
Amidst the cheers of the host, Vincent strolled out of the arena leisurely. Under the guidance of the manager, he walked towards the evil lord"s party.
At that moment, the audience outside the arena suddenly realized that none of the high-level creatures were present that day. It seemed like they had all gone to attend the Ultimate Evil Lord"s banquet!
And their goal must be the same as the last time. They wanted to recruit Vincent who was going to advance to level 30 sooner or later.
A contestant who had not reached level 30 had actually received so much attention in the capital of Ultimate Evil. It was extremely rare!
Vincent was stunned when he walked into the hall on the top floor. This was because the place was completely the same as the first time he was escorted in by scavengers. A group of high-level creatures gathered in twos and threes was discussing intensely.
They were dressed in luxurious clothes. The Ultimate Evil Lord was standing in the middle of the hall. He was busy greeting and chatting with the members of the banquet.
At that moment, Vincent wondered about the intention of the guests. Were they here to celebrate his 30 consecutive victories or were they simply here to partic.i.p.ate in the party?
"Yo! The Fire Asura is here. Let us quickly welcome today"s main character!" said the Ultimate Evil Lord as soon as he saw Vincent. His every action revealed his n.o.ble status.
The other members of the banquet immediately gathered in front of the evil lord and made a path for Vincent.
Vincent had an embarra.s.sed look on his face. However, he realized that these guests did not seem to be interested in him. This was very different from what he had originally thought!
When Vincent walked to the Ultimate Evil Lord"s side, the evil lord immediately held his hand. He then said to the crowd, "Everyone has seen Fire Asura"s strength. Sooner or later, he will become a member of the capital of Ultimate Evil. So, don"t treat him like he is of lower rank. Give him the fairest and cordial treatment!"
"Congratulations!"
"Fire Asura, I have high hopes for you!"
"From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were definitely not ordinary!"
The people who had originally shown disdain towards Vincent suddenly surrounded him and offered him the warmest congratulations.
Vincent swallowed his saliva nervously. At that moment, he finally understood that those people wanted to take the opportunity to recruit him. However, before the Ultimate Evil Lord expressed his stance, they did not dare to brazenly run to him and offer him an olive branch!
When the Ultimate Evil Lord saw everyone treating Vincent like an equal, he could not help but feel relieved. He then said to Vincent, "Enjoy today"s banquet! Remember to come and find me later. I have something that I want to talk to you about!"
Vincent nodded slightly and then watched the evil lord leave.
When the evil lord walked into the changing room to change into his gown, the guests who were surrounding Vincent instantly made a move and grabbed Vincent!
"Fire Asura, come! I have something to talk to you about!"
The one who stretched out his hand the fastest was a bard. His eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation as he looked at Vincent. He sounded like he was panicking.
However, before the bard could touch Vincent, his hand was slapped down by another feathered monster.
"Go, go, go! Your bard is in the entertainment business in the Ultimate Evil capital. Why would Fire Asura be interested? With his combat ability, he should come to our Feathered Monster Race to do arms business!"
An evil spirit whose body was like a rotting zombie pushed aside the others and said loudly, "Bullsh*t! When did your arms business ever come to the surface? Fire Asura should be in the material business with us in the future!"
Vincent could not help but smile when he was sought after by the crowd. It seems that he was very successful.
