The next morning, "Agulie" appeared in the arena registration hall, which was the agreed handover time.
Waiting for him were the three high-level demons under Joseph's command, Royce, Araux and Vasasha.
Compared with yesterday, Araucus's spirit seemed to be much better, but due to the severe overdraft of strength, he was still a little weak. Feeling that the power aura exuding from Chen Rui's body did not seem to weaken at all, but rather strengthened, Araucus
Si looked a little sad and said nothing.
"Sir Agulie, Lord Joseph wants to talk to you before handing over the arena. However, he is currently handling affairs in the Chiyou territory. Please allow me to use the magic messenger to contact you."
Chen Rui heard the news about Joseph's absence from Royce yesterday, and he deliberately looked around. Royce understood and said, "Don't worry, sir, there is no one else here except the four of us."
wait."
Chen Rui glanced at the expressionless Vasasha, then looked at Royce and nodded.
Vasasa's beauty is of good quality, but there is still a certain distance between her and Athena. Royce is very dedicated to this woman.
Royce took out a magic communication talisman, exerted his power for a moment, and then placed it on the table.
The magic communication talisman suddenly emitted a beam of divergent light. Soon, it seemed to be connected to the "network", and Joseph's figure appeared in the beam.
Royce should have contacted Joseph last night. Joseph still had a smile on his face and nodded towards Chen Rui: "First of all, I want to congratulate you, Mr. Agulie. In just two months, you
He leaped from the original middle-level demon to a high-level one in one fell swoop, and defeated my strongest high-level demon, creating an amazing miracle."
Miracle, your sister! If the smiling tiger knew that there was a human being under the mask who wanted to die, he would probably laugh uglier than crying. Chen Rui sneered secretly and said: "For me, this is not a big deal.
The miracle is just that some of the seals on his body were lifted and he defeated a low-level opponent that he didn't pay attention to in the first place."
Hearing Chen Rui's description, Araukes clenched his fist tightly, but the fact is that his skills are inferior to others, so there is no way to refute it. Judging from the opponent's current strength, even if he fights again, his winning rate is very high.
Small, unless we can break through that bottleneck!
"'Some' seals?" The smile on Joseph's face grew wider.
"Don't talk about this," Chen Rui avoided the topic, "It seems that what Sir Joseph wants to congratulate is not only my victory over Araux. According to the agreement, this arena should be mine."
"This is just an agreement between you and Araukes, but I can admit it," Joseph said with a smile: "However, do you agree with the agreement between you and Royce at that time?"
Chen Rui didn't speak, seemed to be thinking, and said: "What I said, I will naturally keep my promise. I am willing to help Lord Joseph, but whether our relationship is equal cooperation or dependence will have to wait for my formal meeting with the Lord.
I’ll make a decision later. Perhaps, your Excellency will be a good mid-level opponent.”
The upper, middle and lower levels heard it from Pagliu last night, and they immediately learned and sold it. When Joseph heard the words "middle level opponent", his eyes flashed: "Great, no matter what
I welcome that kind of relationship, and the arena will be officially handed over to you to manage. I have authorized Royce, and you can sign the official handover document with him."
Chen Rui nodded and glanced at Araukes: "I'm going to practice for a while recently to further break through the seals on my body. I wonder if I can leave the affairs of the arena to a subordinate to take care of it?"
"I heard that Araukes even lost his life to you. This is your right," Joseph said disapprovingly: "The law of this world is that the winner is king, and the loser can only be stepped on.
."
The knuckles of Araukes' clenched fists turned white. Chen Rui saw this, laughed a few times, and said: "Then... I will publicly break with the eldest princess Shia and announce our cooperative relationship."
"I believe it is a big blow to the eldest princess," Joseph also smiled, "However, I think that if you continue to stay with her, you will be more useful to us in the future. Your cloak
Could it be that he is the reserve force of the Royal Palace Guards? This is a wonderful identity with great room for development."
"Lord Joseph is indeed very wise." This suggestion played into Chen Rui's hands. He pretended to be thoughtful and said, "It's just that if this is the case, the arena may have to be returned to Princess Shia. This is what it should be."
My trophy."
Joseph praised: "Smart man! The arena originally belonged to her, but she lost to my father, Lord Zhuoche, in an aerial competition when her father was there. Your Excellency should have a further perspective,
If our cooperation is successful, what does a mere arena mean? I still have quite a lot of resources in Darkmoon. If you need it, I can provide it in unlimited amounts, but everything will have to wait until I return to Darkmoon. Originally
You can return in a few days, but if something unexpected happens, it may take some time before you can return, half a month at the earliest and a month at the latest."
"Okay! I will definitely come back as soon as possible to meet with you." Chen Rui deliberately showed an emotional tone, vaguely guessing in his heart that the unexpected thing Joseph said was probably related to Bannak's "bravery" in Leia Town.
"Accord". Banneker, Joseph's subordinate, was able to continue to drag Joseph into the internal fight between Chiyou and Canita, or even intensify it further. This can be regarded as Chen Rui's unintentional success.
"Then... I am very much looking forward to the formal meeting with Your Excellency." Joseph smiled slightly, his figure gradually faded away, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Behind the mask, Chen Rui is also smiling. The biggest Infernal Affairs of the year has successfully kicked off.
Royce took out a magic document regarding the handover of the arena, and after both parties signed it, the handover was completed.
Chen Rui said to Araukes: "Araukes, you just heard what Joseph said. You are still responsible for the affairs of the arena, but you must be clear that I am the real owner of the arena.
controller."
Araukes' blood-red eyes stared closely at the eyes in Chen Rui's mask, full of anger. Chen Rui said nonchalantly: "If you can't afford to lose, you can leave here immediately. I will never stop you."
Araukes snorted coldly, but did not leave. He sat down on the sofa, took out a bottle of wine, and drank it without saying a word.
"If there's nothing else, I don't think I'll send you two off."
Royce and Vasasha looked at each other, said goodbye and left. When they walked to the entrance of the arena, Royce said: "Vashasha, if you are free, how about we go have a drink?"
"No time." Vasasha said expressionlessly.
Although Royce asked this question deliberately and the answer was already expected, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes: "Then I'll go have a drink with Araukes."
"Whatever." Vasasha said these two words, turned around and left.
Royce sighed and turned back towards the arena.
After Royce turned back to the arena, Vasasha paused slightly, then walked forward faster.
In the hall, Chen Rui took out a bottle of Muguo wine and threw it at Araukes: "This is a specialty of the Shadow Empire, try it."
"Stop playing tricks!" Araucus took the bottle without saying thanks: "Two months later, I will challenge you again. Do you dare to accept it?"
Chen Rui did not agree immediately and asked: "You seemed to have felt a little bit of the devil level yesterday."
Araukes's spirit was suddenly hit, and he snorted coldly: "Yes, if I broke through to the Demon King level yesterday, you would definitely be the one who died."
"Reality is reality, there are not so many ifs." Chen Rui threw out an extremely tempting olive branch, "However, I can turn your ifs into reality."
Araux's ears suddenly stood up: "What did you say? You can make me a demon king?"
"Do you think a person who reached the advanced level from the low-intermediate level to the high-level level in just two months can't do this?" Chen Rui smiled slightly.
"Perhaps I should believe it," Araux's eyes flashed with passion, "What are your conditions?"
At this time, Royce's figure appeared in the hall, and Araukes looked at his friend who had left and returned somewhat strangely, only to hear Chen Rui say something that surprised him: "The condition is surrender.
Surrender. Real surrender, not like you and Royce did to Joseph,"
"How do you know?" Araucus reacted immediately: "Royce, what did you say to him?"
Before Royce could speak, he saw Chen Rui throwing something over: "Royce, this is for you. With your knowledge, maybe you don't need me to tell you what it is."
Royce caught it and saw that it was just a round red fruit with a hard shell and full of strange textures. The fruit exuded a faint smell and seemed to contain magical power.
"This fruit is a bit like..." Royce's eyes suddenly widened, and he felt his hands trembling slightly. His usual calmness and wisdom seemed to disappear in an instant, and he murmured: "No, it's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible, this devil fruit is yours now." Chen Rui confirmed lightly. Royce's gaffe was expected by him. Even Athena could not avoid it.
"Devil Fruit!" Araux stood up suddenly, staring at the fruit in Royce's hand, and his breathing became rapid.
It turns out to be a Devil Fruit! This fruit can greatly enhance the potential of the Demon Clan, increasing the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck several times, and there is a very small chance of obtaining additional special abilities! This is the most important priceless treasure of the Demon Clan! Know the Devil Fruit
There are countless demons who have benefited from it, but only a handful have actually gained it.
The value of this fruit is immeasurable. If it were taken outside, it would probably cause unimaginable disputes. However, "Agulie" was given to Royce casually!
