Chapter 293 - Was The Same As Before
Vincent waved his hand and said to Kaegar, his face full of confidence, "Enough! Don"t tell me about the spy. This is an absolute secret of your Feathered Monster Race. The fewer creatures who know about it, the better. Even I have to avoid suspicion!"
But in reality, no one knew better than Vincent how the Bards had lost because the previous owner of the necklace was Vincent!
After seeing that Vincent was so considerate towards the Feathered Monster Race, Kaeger could not help but feel greatly moved. He even came up with the idea to introduce Vincent as a confidant and quickly said, "I will always remember the favor you did for our Feathered Monster Race. I also promised you that after working with me, I would give you a part of the arms business channel. When you take over the business that the evil lord has a.s.signed to you, I will use my own resources to help you open up external channels. I guarantee that you will earn money smoothly!"
Vincent knew what Kaeger was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I appreciate your kindness. When we get the Paradise of Desire, you will definitely get a share! I"ll go to the headquarters of the Bards first. I"ll have to waste more words there!"
"Take care!"
Kaeger was overjoyed when he heard that. He ignored the injuries on his body and got up to send Vincent out.
After leaving the Feathered Monster Race"s stronghold, Vincent rushed to the Bards" headquarters without stopping.
At that moment, the situation inside the Bards" headquarters was indeed much more tragic than that of the Feathered Monster Race. Previously, there was a sea of creatures in the headquarters, but now there were only a few defeated soldiers left. There was a clear reduction in the number of creatures, and the injuries suffered were even more severe. Their expressions were even more dejected. They did not have the slightest bit of fighting spirit left!
Vincent"s gaze swept over every Bard in the room. Very quickly, he saw the Bard"s necklace on one of the Bards who was also heavily injured. He could not help but sigh secretly in his heart at how ruthless Kaeger"s methods were, in order to allow his subordinates to successfully infiltrate the Bards" headquarters. He actually did not hesitate to beat up his own subordinates until they were heavily injured.
This way, no matter how much Marcus wanted to purge the internal spies, he would not prioritize the wounded. He would definitely suspect the Bards who were not injured first!
Vincent retracted his gaze calmly and did not reveal any flaws. His face was cold as he said in front of everyone, "Where is Marcus? The Ultimate Evil Lord has asked me to come and look for him!"
"The chief is upstairs!" replied a Bard weakly.
Vincent did not even glance at the Bard who replied to him and walked up the stairs aggressively.
At that moment, the Bard who was sitting on the first floor looked at Vincent"s back and sighed again.
He had suffered many losses in the battle against the Feathered Monsters. As the Ultimate Evil Lord had sent his men over, it was obvious that he was going to settle the score. It seemed that the Bards" days in the capital of Ultimate Evil had come to an end!
Vincent walked to the second floor and realized that there were many creatures gathered on the second floor!
A group of Bards was gathered around a ball that was emitting purple light. It was unknown what they were busy with. Vincent went forward curiously to look and saw that it was Marcus who was in the purple ball of light.
At that moment, Marcus was sitting cross-legged and was quietly floating in the purple ball of light. All the Bards around him did not seem injured. Only some were slightly injured. They were raising their hands and injecting the illusory fog from the purple ball of light into their bodies.
It seemed to be a special healing method for the Bards. They would use their entire Race"s strength to heal the most powerful person, Marcus. This was obviously a more worthwhile thing for the Bards at that moment.
At the same time, Vincent was secretly sighing at Marcus"s luck. If it was not for the fact that the Feathered Monster Race had seriously injured their spy in order for it to look realistic, he might have also been in the healing lineup. At that time, they would only need to do a little damage and would already cause serious injuries to Marcus. They might even have the opportunity to kill the leader of the Bard Race!
"Who is it?"
One of the Bards noticed the strange situation behind him and turned around to ask with a vigilant expression.
Vincent"s expression was still the same as before. He sized up Marcus who was in the ball of light and said, "I"m here to take a look on behalf of the Ultimate Evil Lord. You guys do your thing first. Right now, the most important thing is to treat Marcus"s injuries!"
Although the Bard heard his reply, he did not completely let down his guard against Vincent. However, he still turned around and continued to treat Marcus"s injuries.
Although Marcus did not open his eyes, he seemed to have been able to hear the sounds of the outside world. The purple fog under his black robe flickered, and he started to speak, "Brother Fire Asura? You came just in time. I just happen to have something to tell you!"
Vincent casually found a chair and sat down. He replied, "What is it? Tell me!"
Marcus said in a deep voice, "Recently, my Bard Race has been short-handed. We can"t manage all our businesses. Miss Irene"s ability in handling a business has always been obvious to everyone. So, I hope Brother Fire Asura and Miss Irene can help me to manage my business for a few days so that I can be at ease to fight against the Feathered Monsters. As for the profits from the business, you and Miss Irene can take as much as you want as long as you guarantee that my Bards" business will not go bankrupt!"
When Vincent heard this, he could not help but let out a long sigh. He did not expect Marcus"s murderous intent to be even greater than Kaeger"s!
Moreover, the conditions offered were too tempting, making Vincent want to acquiesce to both sides to continue fighting. Most of the citizens in the capital of Ultimate Evil were very idle. They spend large sums of money on entertainment every day. If he could manage the Bard Race"s business for a few days, the profits would be considerable!
However, Vincent was still clear-headed at this time. He knew that he could not change the plan he came with. He still had to do his best to prevent the Bard Race and the Feathered Monster Race from fighting.
"Enough! Sir Marcus, it has already been chaotic enough. I think you should all stop!"
Marcus heard Vincent"s advice and was obviously a little angry. He snorted coldly and said, "Stop? Why don"t you go and persuade Kaeger to stop? My Bard Race will not stop the war so aggrievedly!"
Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, "How do you know that I haven"t tried to persuade Kaeger? He has already agreed to stop, that"s why I came to find you!"
After hearing that, Marcus was stunned. He suddenly stood up in the ball of light and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to stop healing him.
All the Bards stopped and retreated quietly.
Marcus waved his hand and sucked the purple ball of light into his body. He was still a little weak as he walked in front of Vincent. With a hesitant expression, he asked, "Why is he thinking of stopping? Could it be that he"s worried about the evil lord"s punishment? But it"s his problem that he"s willing to stop. I don"t care about the Ultimate Evil Lord"s punishment anymore. At worst, I"ll be expelled from the capital of Ultimate Evil. But before I leave, I must make Kaeger pay the price. I"ll stick to my plan!"
Vincent frowned. The two of their temperaments were exactly the same, so he pretended to be melancholic and said, "It"s not because of the Ultimate Evil Lord. Kaeger is afraid of the battle strength of the Bards, so he chose to stop!"
