Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 229 --A Private Carriage—Drawn by a Dragon!
Evelyn followed Caelan onto the private carriage with a trace of nervousness.
Looking down at Fallen City below them, surprise filled her voice.
"I never imagined our invitation would be treated with such importance!"
Originally, Evelyn had thought the invitation was merely something like an admission ticket.
But now it seemed she had completely underestimated the value of the [Umbra Club Invitation]. In that case, even selling it for tens of billions of gold coins would not have been a loss, right??
So had Caelan really sold it to her at a friendship price??
At that thought, Evelyn could not help glancing at Caelan gratefully, then said softly,
"Thank you very much, Sir Caelan."
Caelan: ???
In truth, Caelan had no idea why Evelyn was thanking him.
Of course, none of that really mattered to him anyway.
What Caelan was actually thinking about was whether he would be able to meet the Lord of Abyss in person through the [Umbra Club Invitation].
Beyond that, the suspicion in his heart only deepened further.
No matter how he looked at it, the [Umbra Club Invitation] in his hand did not seem like something his parents could possibly have obtained.
After escorting Caelan and Evelyn onto the carriage, the Jester Tycoon sat down in the front passenger seat. Then he picked up something resembling a microphone and began giving orders,
"I’ve already received the honored guests. Now go arrange attendants for them. Succubi—only the finest succubi!"
At that point, he secretly glanced at Caelan, fell silent for a moment, and then continued,
"One hundred pure and innocent ones, and one hundred fiery ones. No—make it two hundred of each!!!"
...
Fallen City, Inner District
More than half the inner city was occupied by an enormous Gothic-style castle.
The walls of the entire castle were inlaid with countless sunstones of varying sizes, making it shine with splendid brilliance, almost as though it belonged in Caelan’s home world.
In truth, the light of the Abyss was normally based on tones of deep purple and dark crimson, something closely connected to the sun of this realm.
Because of that, a glittering golden structure like this was an exceedingly rare sight even in the Abyss as a whole.
"Honored guests, please forgive the humble arrangements for the moment and rest here for a while."
The Jester Tycoon made the arrangements, then hurried off in a rush.
Compared to Evelyn, who remained tense at every moment, Caelan was much more at ease.
He lounged comfortably against the soft, fluffy sofa, quietly enjoying the massage from the succubus maids.
At the same time, several other maids knelt in front of him, warming his feet for him.
The soft sensation was, honestly, quite pleasant.
"Hey, the metal on your chest is digging into me."
Caelan tossed out the complaint casually, and the succubus maid immediately resolved the problem for him.
Just then, more succubus maids brought over fresh fruit and snacks.
Caelan enjoyed all of it leisurely, then turned to Evelyn beside him and said,
"Evelyn, don’t be so nervous. Relax a little. I’m afraid we won’t get many chances to unwind like this from here on."
Faced with Caelan’s suggestion, Evelyn looked extremely tense. She even sternly refused all service from the succubus maids.
Caelan shook his head helplessly, then quietly closed his eyes.
The succubi’s service really was comfortable. This kind of enjoyment was something one simply could not experience back in human territory.
After relaxing like that for quite some time, Caelan finally asked in a slow, casual tone,
"By the way, how many countries are there in the Abyss, exactly? Do they all fall under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Abyss?"
Most of the succubus servants looked completely blank when they heard his question.
Only one particularly voluptuous succubus answered somewhat uncertainly,
"Honored guest, the Abyss is far larger than you can imagine!"
"From what little I know, there are roughly three to four hundred nations in the Abyss. Most of them were founded by different races. As for the exact number, I’m not entirely sure."
"As for the Lord of Abyss you just mentioned, He is the greatest existence of all—one who transcends even the gods. Forget the Abyss. If Lord of Abyss so desired, He could control any world!"
Hearing that explanation, Caelan fell into thought.
He had heard of the Lord of Abyss’s power before, but what surprised him was how deeply these demon races revered Him from the bottom of their hearts.
According to the succubus servant’s account, the Lord of Abyss was practically a being so powerful He bordered on being a bug in the system.
Anyone who dared challenge His authority would be erased without exception!
And that was exactly why the Abyss—something that should have been chaos incarnate—now possessed a degree of order.
Those races living at the bottom of demon society, who would once have been reduced to little more than food, could now survive in relative safety.
Especially a race like the succubi, who had originally existed as little more than sexual slaves—one day, they too had gained autonomy and independence.
Before the rise of the Lord of Abyss, such a thing had been almost unimaginable!
And because of that, the weaker a demon race was—like the succubi, for example—the more grateful they were to the Lord of Abyss.
After learning enough, Caelan waved a hand and dismissed all the succubus servants.
Only after they had left did Evelyn finally let out a deep sigh of relief, visibly relaxing as she half-reclined on the sofa.
"Whew... this is definitely much more relaxing."
Just then, she seemed to sense something, and her gaze instinctively shifted toward the distance.
In the next instant, the figure of the Supreme Staff rapidly approached!
The moment they saw the Supreme Staff return, both Caelan and Evelyn instinctively asked,
"Senior Supreme Staff, what did you discover during this time?"
The Supreme Staff flew around the two of them several times in a smug circle before finally speaking at an unhurried pace,
"You have no idea—what I went through during this time was incredibly exciting!"
"Oh, right. That Jester Tycoon who came to receive you? In Fallen City, he’s a truly major figure."
At that point, the Supreme Staff looked seriously in Caelan’s direction.
"Little Caelan, it seems your [Umbra Club Invitation] really was worth far more than its price!"
After listening to the Supreme Staff’s explanation, Caelan and Evelyn finally understood the Jester Tycoon’s true identity.
To put it simply, the current Jester Tycoon controlled more than half of all commerce in Fallen City.
At the same time, the entire pleasure industry of Fallen City was under his name as well.
And according to rumors from the outside world, the Jester Tycoon was a detestable miser—an absolute bloodsucker. When it came to him, there was only talk of making money, never spending it!
So...
Why had the Jester Tycoon provided Caelan and Evelyn with such extravagant treatment?
Was it really only because of the [Umbra Club Invitation]?
