604 Rank (1/2)
As a Dream Master, it was basic fundamentals to be able to control one's emotions.
Fang Yuan was able to come to the conclusion based on Black Jack's facial expressions and his increased blood flow and heartbeat—he was lying!
”I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!”
Feeling the pain of losing his hand, Black Jack had an expression of agony and shouted all of a sudden, ”It was my master who ordered me to do so!”
”The setup in the Bay of Pigs was also done by him?” Fang Yuan asked, curious.
If it was able to do that, then Black Jack's backer would be Flaming Evil Demon Seth.
”I don't know… All master did was instruct me to attract Demon Hunters there!” Black Jack spilled the beans, like an inverted bamboo tube that had beans falling out.
”Then, how do you contact it?” Fang Yuan moved Starry Night over Black Jack's other hand.
”In the secret room—there's a golden pot that allows me to link up with my master!”
Cold sweat dripped down like crazy from Black Jack as he finally spat out his biggest secret.
”Bring me there!” Fang Yuan instructed.
Whoosh!
In the secret room, a green flame burned, and a human face appeared from within.
”As expected… a Demon Hunter has come to find me?”
The other party looked at Fang Yuan with interest but wasn't shocked. It was obvious that it had abandoned Black Jack.
”You purposely spread the news to attract Demon Hunters to the Bay of Pigs because you knew that there wasn't only a Voodoo Corpse, but there was also Evil Demon follower activity… You were planning on ruining their plans!”
Fang Yuan looked at the human face and said with confirmation, ”You're not from the Night Family Clan… but you're in between humans and them—Master!”
”Demon Hunter, your sensitivity is truly marvelous!” The human face within the flames smiled. ”Even if it was Black Jack, he saw us as Evil Demon to serve and provide offerings to.”
It seemed that it was because of the long distance communication, the other party was at ease and even had the mood to look at Black Jack's facial expression as the latter had a nervous breakdown.
”Didn't you Masters always stand in the middle? Why did you desire to ruin the Evil Demon's plan?” Fang Yuan asked.
In actual fact, his strong magical energy had begun to locate the other party secretly through the communication.
”Because…'It,' is coming back!” The human face within the flames said in a chanting tone, ”The source of everything, the true mother of all Evil Demons, the presence that holds the great power of reproduction has begun to reveal its traces to the world!”
”Mother of Reproduction?”
The departing words of Flaming Evil Demon Seth rang in his ears, it was obvious that it didn't say it blindly.
”The Dead Sea Ancient Scroll appeared. Gaining possession of it would bring about the true names of the Evil Demons and the ability to summon the Mother of Reproduction… One of the pages is already in the hands of the Evil Demons…” The Master slowly said, ”Light and darkness needs to be balanced in order to have space for us Masters to live… Hence, we chose to expose this information to the Demon Hunters and hope that you will all be able to destroy the Evil Demons' plan of summoning the Mother of Reproduction… Otherwise, this world will completely become hell and the abyss!”
”I understand, and I'll report this information to the superiors at the right time!” Fang Yuan nodded his head. ”Can you represent the entirety of the Masters?”
”Of course not… the power and scale of Masters are beyond your imagination… I represent a part of it—the Black Scales Club!”
The human face laughed. ”Take Black Jack's wealth as a small greeting gift. We will have many opportunities to work together in the future!”
Poof!
The green flames burned ruthlessly soon afterward and flaming tongues spread, landing on Black Jack.
”Ah!”
Black Jack burned in the flame, screaming in misery. Within the raging flames, he became a pile of ash within a split second.
At the same time, the flames in the gold pot extinguished, and the connection broke completely.
Fang Yuan could notice that even the ripples of magic had also vanished completely, and it became a defective object.
”It was rumored that the emotions of Masters are unpredictable. As expected, he acted the way he wanted… What does this mean? A demonstration of his power? A provocation?”
Fang Yuan looked at the ash on the floor and laughed bitterly. ”Did… it think that I wouldn't be able to find them—these mice hiding in the sewers, just by breaking all contact?”
The time in which they were connected from before was enough for him to start tracking them down, with it, he was able to narrow down the search area.
In addition to that, the presence that the other party had left, the rippling of its spiritual mind and so on, made Fang Yuan confident in his ability to find them!
”Black Scale Club? An association of Master's? Interesting!”
Fang Yuan looked around the secret room; there were a variety of treasures and even wads of cash lying around. He immediately packed them up without any reservations.
After all, he wasn't alone now. He had a large bunch of subordinates to feed, he was rather strapped for cash.
Being able to seize the stockpile of a black market businessman was of some help to him.
”Furthermore… the territory that Black Jack left behind could be given to Almon and the others to use. Even if it's a small plot of land, it can be satisfactory…”
Fang Yuan had deep thoughts, ”In order to accumulate such a large amount of wealth within a short amount of time—as expected, he used many evil methods…”
He then wore his cape and low-key left the black market, returning to the Demon Hunter branch.
