I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 494 - 349: It’s not too much to collect some interest, right?

Chapter 494: Chapter 349: It’s not too much to collect some interest, right?

“Benefits…”

Anderson was slightly startled.

He hadn’t expected the other party to ask such a question.

But soon, Anderson reacted and revealed an of-course expression.

“May I ask what Mr. Jack requires, please speak up… If you agree to join the Twilight Tea Party, we will fulfill your needs as much as possible.”

Chen Lun cracked a smile, lifted his eyelids, and said with implication:

“Since you are an organization of Transcendents from the Path of Destiny, you must have more comprehensive Supernatural Knowledge of the Destiny Faction, right?”

Anderson understood.

Jack Spett was an independent Transcendent, and although he later joined the Mutual Aid Society Murder Club, it was the main base for the conspiracy pathway Transcendents, so it made sense he lacked the knowledge for further advancement.

That suited Anderson just fine—as long as the other party had demands, things would be easier…

Anderson thought so.

“Of course, as long as you agree to join us, the Supernatural Knowledge for ‘Sequence Five – Juggler’ will be personally delivered to you as a welcoming gift…”

‘There really is such knowledge…’ Chen Lun thought to himself, already scheming.

He pretended to be overjoyed and clapped his hands together.

“This is wonderful! I was indeed in need of follow-up Supernatural Knowledge!”

“This is a win-win situation, Mr. Jack.”

Anderson said with a relieved smile.

“By the way, how do I join you? By a verbal promise or by signing a document?”

Chen Lun suddenly changed the subject and asked aloud.

Anderson coughed awkwardly twice and explained:

“Of course, it involves signing a ceremonial Destiny Contract, only with the witnessing of a high-rank personage can the members of the tea party be prevented from betraying us… As the leader of the Circus, you should be aware of this.”

“Hmm, that makes sense.”

Chen Lun nodded in agreement, quite convincingly.

At the same time, his mind was racing, contemplating how to maximize his gains.

Anderson flicked his finger, and a small red ball flew out, suddenly exploding and the splendid dust dispersed in midair, forming a contract filled with mystical text and patterns.

“This is the ‘Destiny Contract’ left by the chairman. Once you sign it, your destiny will be closely linked with the Twilight Tea Party…”

As Chen Lun looked at the contract, he vaguely felt that it pointed to a high ranked entity of Destiny.

And it felt very familiar.

‘This aura… how is it somewhat similar to Howard?!’

A strong doubt and alertness arose in his heart, so he casually asked Anderson:

“May I ask, who is the chairman of your esteemed tea party?”

A flicker of indescribable emotion crossed Anderson’s heart.

Almost all the high-ranks in the tea party knew that Jack’s destiny had been tampered with by the chairman, but Jack, a mere actor in this play, like all the pitiful people toyed with by destiny, knew nothing of the truth.

He found this scene quite dramatic, and naturally said:

“It’s Mr. Howard.”

Anderson watched as a look of bewilderment crossed Jack’s face and continued with a smile:

“He is a sublime Destiny Saint, only one step away from the Angel Rank… Alas, the chairman is not currently at the tea party, otherwise, knowing of your joining, He would have been very pleased.”

“I see, I had no idea your tea party had such a foundation!”

Chen Lun feigned an oblivious look of amazement.

But inside, he was sneering.

Anderson could not have imagined that Chen Lun had already learned the truth from the Cat God Maggie herself and knew all too well that the one manipulating his destiny from behind the scenes was Howard!

‘So the Twilight Tea Party is His organization…’ Chen Lun thought.

‘And these guys under Him still think I’m a fool to be played with; though they haven’t revealed their collusion with the Black Knife Brotherhood from start to finish, by signing this contract, I’d effectively be staking my life with the Twilight Tea Party… Later, I would have no choice but to hold back in the struggle for seats, or even backstab the club to assist the Black Knife Brotherhood in becoming the Righteous God Church.’

He slowly raised his hand, preparing to sign his name on the contract.

Anderson’s smile grew more pronounced, and nearby, Ves, whose face was twisted from backlash, looked even more ferocious, a hint of triumph flickering in his eyes.

‘Howard…’

Chen Lun silently sneered to himself.

‘It wouldn’t be too much to collect some interest.’

His hand momentarily hesitated, fingers suspended in mid-air.

Anderson’s smile grew tense, and with puzzlement, he asked:

“What’s the matter, Mr. Jack?”

“Did the tea party only send two people to negotiate with me?”

Chen Lun asked curiously.

A bad premonition suddenly welled up in Anderson’s heart, and Ves beside him furrowed his brows.

“What do you want to know that for? Do you think our tea party isn’t taking you seriously?”

Ves gritted his teeth, enduring the headache and the resentment inside, and said bitterly.

“Quickly finish signing the contract so we can go back and report…”

Anderson felt like his blood was boiling, wishing he could kill this idiot on the spot.

The question was clearly amiss; now, exposing the bottom line of their side, was he tired of living?!

As expected.

Anderson noticed the strange smile on Jack’s face.

“You’ve done well.”

The other party said so.

“Since you’ve come, don’t think of leaving…”

The calm words carried a deep coldness.

Anderson’s face drastically changed.

Boom!!

A violent explosion occurred suddenly.

Anderson immediately threw two juggling balls, one yellow and one black; the yellow caused an explosion, and the black emitted dense smoke, obscuring the line of sight.

“Tsk tsk… nearly ruined Floey’s beloved garden, you really do deserve to die!”

Jack’s voice came through the smoke.

With a serious expression, Anderson steadied Ves, only to suddenly realize the environment around them had changed, covered in a layer of blurred blue, the scenery appeared somewhat distorted.

They had been dragged into the Spirit World!

When exactly had it happened…?!

Anderson’s pupils contracted.

“You bastard! Not only do you refuse our kindness, but you even dare to make a move?!”

Ves’s eyes were bloodshot as he stifled his headache and angrily scolded.

He also cursed a few more times under his breath.

The gentleman in the black hat slowly walked out of the smoke, standing not far from the two, completely unscathed.

“What you’ve done is bad for everyone, Mr. Jack,”

Anderson said gravely.

“How can there be no benefit?”

Chen Lun was somewhat surprised, speaking deliberately.

“I was just worrying about not having evidence to prove your involvement with the Black Knife Brotherhood, now I can catch you all and deliver you to the Round Table Knights. That must be a great merit… I really should thank you for delivering yourselves to my doorstep.”

“You…?!”

Anderson was stunned on the spot.

His face was filled with disbelief.

The other party actually knew!

How did he find out?!

Damn it…

It turned out that everything was under the other party’s control, and the negotiations just now were all an act, a trap for his own words!

Anderson almost vomited blood in frustration.

Ves, on the other hand, obviously couldn’t bear it as well. The feeling of being played made the young man burst into a tirade.

“You damn scum! Trash!”

Ves’s face turned red with bulging veins.

“Nothing but a toy in the hands of the chairman, and yet you dare to be so arrogant! What do you want to do, catch us? That’s laughable! We are all Transcendents of the Path of Destiny, what makes you think you can catch us?!”

He pointed at Chen Lun, hissing to Anderson:

“He is only a Sequence Six! Mr. Anderson, let’s join forces to suppress him! This way, we can even save a piece of Supernatural Knowledge, right? Such an easy matter, we should never have given this guy a chance from the start!”

Unexpectedly, Anderson paid no attention to him, instead staring solemnly at the gentleman with the black hat, his eyes revealing deep wariness.

Chen Lun’s expression was indifferent as he glanced at the flustered Ves and chuckled lightly.

“So this is the confidence you have, no wonder only two of you dare to step into my territory… What you’re relying on is the distant transport of ‘Aerial Acrobat,’ thinking you can leave at any time.”

Ves snorted coldly, continuing his cursing.

Chen Lun shook his head, watching the other party with interest.

“Why don’t you try it? See if you can leave now?”

He spread his hands out.

Anderson’s body shook violently.

He took another look around, observing carefully, but his heart was filled with growing fear. Because he found that the spiritual realm they were in, those twisted visuals were not normal—it was actually a distortion of space…

The space in this domain was being interfered with!

Anderson tried to use ‘Cloud Leap’ and ‘Instantaneous Movement,’ but couldn’t do it at all!

Their escape route was sealed!

“Shut up!”

Anderson yelled at Ves.

The latter was stunned, not understanding why Mr. Anderson was so furious.

“Mr. Jack, we have no intention of becoming your enemy,”

he said seriously.

“Let us go, and let’s call it even.”

But Chen Lun just shook his head.

“Let me see, as the Vice Chairman of the Twilight Tea Party, and a ‘Juggler’ of Sequence Five, what special skills you truly possess!”

With that, he flung out several Card Throwing Knives.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…!

Anderson took a deep breath, knowing that things couldn’t end well now.

He immediately went into combat mode, his face stern as he pulled out three white juggling balls from his jacket pocket and hurled them fiercely.

Dingding dang!

Three streaks of white light revolved in front of him, directly knocking the incoming cards away. The collision of the two produced a metallic crispness and sparked.

But Anderson’s brow furrowed.

Because he saw that the gentleman with the black hat was smiling, took out a Silver Staff and twirled it casually, pointing it at him.

Whirrr…

Hundreds of cards appeared around Jack, spinning, encircling, whipping up a hurricane.

Immediately like a roaring torrent, it came flooding toward him!

“This is absolutely terrible!”

Anderson cursed inwardly.

At that moment, stripped of his core combat system skill “Instantaneous Movement,” facing such a widespread attack, he could only opt for a direct confrontation.

It could be said, a Transcendent of the Path of Destiny without this skill would lose more than half their combat effectiveness!

The middle-aged gentleman tossed his top hat into the air.

Bang, bang, bang…!

The hat reversed, suspending in midair, and from its pitch black recess, white juggling balls were shot out like a machine gun. They were heavy and hard, and contained tremendous momentum.

A series of muffled booms accompanied by dingding dong sounds, dozens of white balls bounced wildly around the space, forming an impenetrable ‘White Wall,’ keeping the Card Storm at bay.

Chen Lun was a bit surprised.

He also noticed Anderson’s hands suddenly detached from his body, floated up, and were suspended in the air to his left and right.

The pair of hands kept catching the white balls, then throwing them, in an endless cycle. Anderson stood his ground, his eyes darting left and right at lightning speed, apparently focusing on each ball’s trajectory, performing high-intensity precise calculations and manipulations.

A fist-sized white ball flew towards Chen Lun’s face.

Chen Lun raised his Silver Staff and struck precisely on the ball.

Clang!!

The tremendous force caused Chen Lun to retreat four or five meters, his palm going numb from the impact.

He looked up somewhat surprised.

The white ball that had been struck flew back into the left hand that was suspended in midair and was thrown again.

At the same time, the red and white checkered top hat kept spewing out white juggling balls.

The white balls, with the force of cannonballs, grew more numerous, attacking with cunning angles!

“Interesting… able to control so many juggling balls at once and still calculate each one’s trajectory precisely? I can’t do that; though the Card Storm seems numerous, it’s just advancing in one direction, overwhelming by force, winning by numbers,”

Chen Lun thought to himself.

“It seems ‘Juggler’ must possess stronger manipulation and precise calculation abilities.”
