Chapter 1513 769: Ten Days
Ten days!
Like a military order, a solemn guarantee thrown to the ground.
The grand plans are nearing completion, the future is within grasp, and under Rotten Ape's promise, the matter is settled.
Then Abyss Lord kicked him out of the kingdom.
He didn't even get a meal.
In the end, beyond a meal, Rotten Ape didn't even get a sip of water after all his talking.
It wasn't until outside the Sea Abyss that the two of them didn't react.
They stared at each other, wanting to speak but holding back.
Was this Tyrant really so stingy? Not to mention staying overnight, you've gained so much, couldn't you at least pretend to invite us?
Sorry, that's not possible.
Is the matter done? If it's done, then leave!
The gate of the Sea Abyss locked again.
Not considerate at all.
Ji Jue doesn't have time to socialize with them; he's already exhausted from keeping up the Tyrant's prestige... well, actually, he isn't. He's thriving and enjoying it, almost forgetting the world.
If it weren't for the fear of saying too much and slipping up, he would even want to act a bit more!
Pretending to be Tyrant isn't difficult.
The main trouble lies in being careful about it.
Abyss Lord's timid yet stubborn persona is hard to grasp; several times he couldn't help but let the dominating aura of the Evil Cult Sacrificial Master Saint slip through...
An Old Deng from Wulou Temple, a peer from You Sui, collectively could have more slyness than all the loans given by the Federation and Empire combined; who knows which sentence might slip?
Several times Ji Jue almost couldn't hold back and wanted to act!
Unfortunately, there were still too few fish in the pond.
Furthermore, a Yin God Traveling from Wulou Temple, and one directly sent into creation; without sufficient preparation, wouldn't be possible to manage.
Learn from past mistakes, hold back, hold back, must hold back!
You can't trap a wolf without sacrificing a child; besides, the child isn't even yours, wait a bit longer!
Back on the Doomsday Special Train, Ji Jue clutched the Tiger Talisman and plunged into deep thought again.
Ten days?
Where does Rotten Ape get that confidence?
What will happen after ten days?
And... gathering so many people, pouring in such immense resources, painstakingly assembling power enough to seize the Seven Cities overnight, all for what?
If it were someone else, ambition or resentment might explain it, but Rotten Ape is different, or rather, Dragon Poison is different.
He's a peer.
Peers always understand peers the best.
All craftsmen, regardless of methods or words or even expressions, are mere appearances; the ultimate purpose is always the result!
The result is the most important.
Yet, what could he gain?
He meticulously prepared for such a long time, just to assemble everyone for a meal, celebrate a good year?
Could he possibly be someone selflessly committed to the Great Evil?
Don't amuse your Zhi Fu brother.
Either he's doing all this to win the Vortex's Person of the Year award, or there's definitely a deeper scheme!
"Dragon Poison?"
On the phone, Master Hu Jian was startled awake, fell into bewildered contemplation: "Haven't heard that name in a while."
"Is it very old?"
"Let me think..."
From the other end came fragmented sounds, like flipping through pages, after a pause, a sigh of realization: "Indeed, many years have passed.
When I just became an apprentice, he was already a master in the Association, but later, for unknown reasons, suddenly vanished; the next news was that he had entered You Sui... It's said that he failed to win the crown against Plowsmith, who was also a master at that time, dissatisfied with the Association's judgment, he rebelled.
No news for all these years, everyone thought he died in some obscure place."
Ji Jue pressed further: "Skills, fields of expertise, originating faction?"
"Unknown." Hu Jian decisively shook his head: "The Association likely has already deleted them."
"Deleted?"
Ji Jue was astonished, nearly amused: "This can be deleted?"
"Some information, keeping it is the real harm." Hu Jian sighed lightly: "Knowing nothing is better than knowing incorrect information and believing it deeply.
After receiving Zhi Fu's blessing, he abandoned his original name, as well as his life and history in the Association. He handed them to Truth Publishing House, planting cognitive poison so all records about him became distorted and false; if unchecked, the Association's entire database would be polluted."
"I see." Ji Jue nodded, said nothing more.
Hu Jian was silent for a long time, sighed helplessly, suddenly asked: "Do you need help?"
"Thank you for the offer."
Ji Jue smiled: "If necessary, I will."
After thanking Master Hu for his kindness, Ji Jue fell into a lengthy reverie.
After a while, finally returning to himself, he casually tossed the Tiger Talisman into the Red Sky Banner—without any resistance, not even a ripple or conflict, the two completely different commands and authorities had already merged as one, as if naturally so.
In his hand, another fierce beast pattern adorned the banner, constantly moving, exuding fierce might.
Foundation and base expanded again.
The original Right of Special Killing surged again, faintly embracing and expanding towards the Legion and Slaughter, seemingly nurturing some new change.
Anyway, it's a free gain, whatever Great Evil Company's assets were, what nonsense, once in our shell company, after Evil Demon had a go at it, it's mine!
