I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 265 - 193 Silver Pot Knight Flun!

Chapter 265: Chapter 193 Silver Pot Knight Flun!

An unnamed wilderness.

Under a certain tree.

“Hiss…”

Drake leaned against the tree, his face marred with injuries as he drew out his mouth and lit a cigarette.

“Akebin, how’s it going, did you scout anything out?”

Akebin turned around, holding a glass jar in his hand filled with a pale-yellow transparent liquid, in which an eyeball attached to blood vessels was soaked.

The eyeball writhed like a living creature, but its surface was covered with blood vessels, betraying a look of agony.

“Nothing… the Eye of Shadow has been backfired upon.”

Akebin said gravely.

He wasn’t wearing the crow mask at the moment, revealing the weather-beaten face of a middle-aged man, his unkempt beard indicating a long period of neglect.

“So, shall we head directly into Amber City now…?”

Drake asked.

Akebin shook his head.

“Since we can’t get any information, let’s wait a little longer… let me finish the experiment.”

He acted as though he didn’t see Drake’s impatient look and continued,

“Not far ahead is another village plagued by disease, just the right place for the ritual… With it, that makes five, which should be enough.”

Drake took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke.

“Fine… you have it your way. I’m going to the Spirit World to vent. Damn it, that was so close to kicking its lid off!”

“Hmm.”

Akebin responded indifferently.

“Just don’t go getting killed by a creature of the Spirit World…

When my work here is done, let’s enter Amber City together… To avoid the blockade of the Shelter, we’ll need to investigate as quickly as possible once we’re there, directly seizing and interrogating the wrongdoer!”

Drake scoffed, discarded his cigarette butt, and stepped into the Spirit World, vanishing from sight.

Gem State, Lime Ash City.

A massive jewelry exhibition hall.

Two middle-aged men dressed lavishly were chatting jovially in front of a display case containing a huge diamond.

Surrounding them were many elegantly dressed ladies, admiring the jewelry while expressing their amazement. Some successful men in suits were conversing in hushed tones, and plenty of journalists bore cameras and badges, jotting down notes.

But the focus of everyone there was on the two men at the center.

One was Earl Lawson, whose ancestors’ fief was in Lime Ash City. By his generation, thanks to the family’s accumulation of wealth, along with numerous connections and intelligent relatives, they had amassed a substantial fortune.

Earl Lawson’s purpose for visiting the exhibition was to discuss some major jewelry deals.

The man he was talking to was Kafli, responsible for this jewelry exhibition and also the president of the host company, Meidan Jewelry Company.

The centerpiece of the exhibition, situated before them, was the diamond named “Light of the Century,” valued at an astounding 7650 Gold Pounds.

The two men were negotiating gifting this “Light of the Century” to a duchess of the Sun Royal Family as a birthday present. They planned to leverage the exhibition to make a name for their jewelry company so that their business could extend to another State City, or even Royal City.

At the entrance of the exhibition, apart from the numerous burly black-clothed bodyguards, stood some dainty-looking girls, also in black, who seemed to be part of the security team.

Many of the nobles and wealthy merchants attending the exhibition couldn’t help but whisper about them.

“— Vice Chairman, I feel this mission isn’t simple.

Honey Pomelo stood by, her face expressionless, maintaining a valiant bodyguard posture, while covertly messaging in the chatroom.

“— Yes, the mission Honey Fool took on has reached B-level, so it must be quite challenging… Moreover, the ‘Earl Lawson’ we’re to protect holds a high rank. The mastermind behind the assassination will surely send powerful enemies, so we must not let our guard down.”

The Vice Chairman of the Chuxi Guild, “Sunny Xiaoyu,” replied.

Honey Fool, who had left Amber City due to being wanted by the Circus, was standing beside her.

“— I and Honey Pomelo are already Sequence Nine Transcendents. As long as the assassin isn’t a Mid Sequence Transcendent, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

Honey Fool replied.

“— I have confidence in you two… and the Circus gear that Chenxi Guild Master bought for us are really useful. Though I’m not a Transcendent, I can still offer you some fire support… Moreover, there are many other bodyguards here, and they’re not pushovers.”

Sunny Xiaoyu was in good spirits, encouraging them.

Besides the three of them, several other female members of the Chuxi Guild stood silently by.

Upon seeing the messages, Honey Fool sighed internally.

She had recently learned that the Guild Master had cleared two high-level instances in Jack’s place, growing rapidly and already surpassing her in strength.

She regretted that if she hadn’t accepted the commission from the God’s Love Guild, she might still be enjoying those benefits at the Circus. Furthermore, the sisters in the Chuxi Guild would have to rely on her to exchange for special gear and items.

Though Honey Fool was not one to seek the limelight, helping friends and receiving their thanks and praise was something that made her feel good.

“— Let’s do well in this mission, grow quickly, and be able to lead the other new members who’ve just joined the game.”

Sunny Xiaoyu messaged.

The exhibition went smoothly, and apart from a journalist who accidentally farted during President Kafli’s speech, which led to his embarrassed departure amidst laughter, nothing unexpected happened.
