Vincent waited in Adolphus’s office until it was dark before he saw Adolphus returning in a hurry.
Adolphus asked in surprise as soon as he saw Vincent, “Fire Asura? How can you sit still?”
Vincent spread his hands and smiled indifferently.
“Why can’t I sit still?”
“The outside world has been turned upside down. Someone is selling a large number of modified authority scrolls and claiming…”
Adolphus suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if he was hesitating whether to tell Vincent.
After seeing his reaction, Vincent asked with a smile, “Claiming what? It can’t be that you can master the cultivation method to modify scrolls, right?”
“How do you know?”
Adolphus looked at Vincent with a shocked expression. He quickly came to his senses and asked, “Could it be that you were the one who had spread this news?”
Vincent did not reply. Instead, he asked, “What is the price of the authority scroll on the market now? I remember that the price you proposed was 45 million dark crystals!”
When Adolphus heard that, his expression could not help but turn extremely ugly. He said in a deep voice, “The current price is only 10,000 dark crystals. However, most of the creatures did not spend a single cent because they are currently chasing after the guy who sold the scrolls on the streets!”
Vincent nodded slightly. He was very pleased with Ebenezer’s method of distributing fake scrolls. This was because it was the only way to make more people notice the modified authority scrolls in a short period of time. They had managed to arouse greed in the creatures, making them willing to do anything for the scrolls!
Adolphus looked at Vincent carefully. He was certain that he had something to do with the distribution of scrolls. Moreover, if that rumor was true, he must have already grasped the modification authority as he was the one who sold him the scrolls!
Therefore, Adolphus was not naïve enough to think that Vincent would sell all his remaining scrolls to him. He could also understand that Vincent would keep a few scrolls as a trump card. However, he could not accept Vincent selling the modified authority scrolls on the market at the price of a cabbage!
Not only will it make Adolphus’s previous efforts seem very foolish, but it will also cause the scrolls in Adolphus’s hands to lose their value.
Adolphus stood at the door and said coldly to Vincent, “You need to give me an explanation as to why this is happening!”
As he was a level 60 creature, he immediately locked his aura onto Vincent. As long as he wanted to, he could instantly launch a fatal attack on Vincent.
After seeing that Adolphus was already filled with killing intent, Vincent hurriedly said, “What are you doing? Everything I did today was for you!”
Adolphus sneered and asked in return, “For me?”
He did not believe that this matter could be of any benefit to him.
Vincent nodded and said, “Of course! If you were the only one who had secretly cultivated the power to modify, then how would you explain yourself when the evil lord finds out about it? Cultivating a god-level ability in the capital of Ultimate Evil is equivalent to declaring a war on the Ultimate Evil Lord! That was why I told everyone about the method to cultivate modification authority. That way, no one would suspect you anymore!”
Vincent continued to explain, “Moreover, you wouldn’t really think that I have that many modification authority scrolls on me, right? The scrolls that I sold to you back then were indeed the last ones I had. The scrolls that are being sold on the market at the price of cabbages were all forged by me. The purpose is to let every creature grasp the method of modification authority. However, since the scrolls are fake, no one will actually become your enemy. Isn’t this considered great help to you?”
After hearing this, Adolphus heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he asked even more excitedly, “So, do you mean that you can really obtain the cultivation method from the scroll?”
Vincent smiled as he patted the sofa beneath him and said, “Modify life!”
After Vincent said those words, the sofa that he was sitting on suddenly started breathing. It began to slowly squirm on the ground, as if it really possessed life!
When Adolphus saw this, his eyes shone brightly. He muttered and sighed, “It really is modifying authority! You didn’t lie to me!”
Vincent smiled, spread his hands and said, “Why would I lie to you? I came to look for you today to collect a reward! Previously, when I sold you the scroll, you paid a corresponding price. Now, not only did I give you the method to cultivate the authority to modify, but I also removed all your worries. How are you going to repay me for this benefit?”
When Adolphus heard this, he said very happily, “If I can successfully control the authority to modify, you can ask for any number of benefits that you want. I can give you 50% of the business in my hands. How about it?”
Vincent shook his head and said, “Sorry, I’m not interested in your business! I want a specific reward this time!”
Adolphus nodded and said, “Okay! Whatever conditions you have, just say it!”
Vincent crossed his arms in front of his chest and said lightly, “I want you to activate your channel right now and help me collect gold coins, gems, and other treasures that can shine. The more the better. There is no upper limit!”
Adolphus was stunned when he heard that and asked, “Only these?”
Vincent nodded and replied, “Yes, only these!”
Adolphus looked at Vincent in silence. He was somewhat unable to understand Vincent’s request. In his opinion, the value of modifying authority was far more valuable than those gold coins that looked good but were useless. Even if all the gold coins in the capital of Ultimate Evil were gathered, it will still not be as valuable as the secret to modify authority.
However, since Vincent requested it, Adolphus was willing to do it. He immediately said, “Give me 20 minutes!”
After saying that, Adolphus turned around and walked out of the office. He soon returned with two storage rings.
Adolphus handed the storage rings to Vincent and said in a deep voice, “This is the reward. Gold coins and other items will not appear in the capital of Ultimate Evil for a period of time!”
Vincent noticed that Adolphus had managed to purchase all the gold coins in the market in a short period of time. He could not help but acknowledge his ability once again. He nodded and said, “Then you should hurry up and cultivate. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first!”
“I won’t see you off!” said Adolphus in a low voice. He then watched Vincent walked out of the office.
Adolphus could not wait to open his secret room the moment the office door closed. He took out the two scrolls that he treasured and began to disassemble the materials that made up the scrolls according to Vincent’s rumored method.
After seeing the crystal energy that symbolized the authority to modify appearing before him, his usually expressionless face finally revealed a trace of ecstasy.
Adolphus sighed greedily, “With the authority to modify, our Evil Spirit Race’s status can rise to another level, and we can even replace the Lingluo Race!”
