The next morning, the figure of "Aguile" appeared in the arena registration hall. This was the agreed handover time.
Waiting for him were the three Higher Demon under Joseph, Royce, Arux, and Vasasha.
Compared with yesterday, Arux's spirit seemed to be much better, but he was still a little weak due to the severe overdraft of his power. Feeling that the power emanating from Chen Rui didn't seem to weaken at all, but it increased instead. Arux's expression looked a little gloomy, and he didn't speak.
"Mr. Aguile, before the handover of the arena, Sir Joseph wants to talk to you. However, he is now handling affairs in the Red Spirit Estate. Please allow me to use the magic communication talisman to contact him."
Chen Rui heard the news from Royce yesterday that Joseph was not there, so he deliberately looked around. Royce understood and said, "Sir, please rest assured that there are no outsiders here except for the four of us."
Chen Rui glanced at the expressionless Vasasha, then looked at Royce and nodded.
Vasasha's beauty was superior, but there was still a certain gap compared to Athena. Royce was very persistent with this woman.
Royce took out a magic communication talisman, exerted a little power, and placed it on the table.
The magic communication talisman suddenly emitted a beam of scattered light. Soon, it seemed to be connected to the "network", and Joseph's figure appeared in the beam of light.
Royce should have contacted Joseph last night. Joseph still had a smile on his face. He nodded at Chen Rui, "First of all, I want to congratulate you, Mr. Aguile. In just two months, you jumped from the original Intermediate Demon to Higher Demon in one fell swoop. You even defeated the strongest Higher Demon under me, creating a great miracle. "
Miracle your ass! If the smiling tiger knew that the person under the mask was the human who wanted to kill him, his smile would probably look uglier than crying. Chen Rui sneered secretly and said, "For me, this is not a great miracle. I just lifted some seals on my body and defeated a low-level opponent that I didn't put in my eyes."
Hearing Chen Rui's description, Arux clenched his fists tightly, but the fact was that he was inferior, so he couldn't refute it. Judging from the opponent's current strength, even if we fight again, my chance of winning is very small unless I can break through that bottleneck!
"Some seals?" The smile on Joseph's face was even wider.
"Let's not talk about this." Chen Rui avoided the topic. "It seems that what Sir Joseph wants to congratulate is not only my victory over Arux. According to the agreement, this arena should be mine. "
"This is just an agreement between you and Arux, but I can recognize it." Joseph smiled and said, "However, do you recognize the agreement between you and Reus at that time?"
Chen Rui didn't speak. He seemed to be thinking and said, "I will definitely keep my promise. I'm willing to help Sir Joseph, but whether our relationship is equal or dependent, I can't decide until I formally meet with sir. Perhaps sir will be a good mid-level opponent. "
Top, middle, and low-level were what he heard from Paglio last night, and he immediately applied what he learned. When Joseph heard the words "mid-level opponent", his eyes lit up, "Great, no matter which relationship it is, I welcome it very much. The arena will officially be handed over to you to manage. I have authorized Reus. You can sign the handover document with him on the surface."
Chen Rui nodded and glanced at Arux, "I have to train for a while to further break the seals on my body. I wonder if I can hand over the arena's affairs to a loser to manage?"
"I heard that Arux 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."
Arux clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. Chen Rui saw it and laughed a few times. He said, "Then … I will publicly break off with Princess Royal Jía and announce our partnership."
"I believe it will be a major blow to that Princess Royal." Joseph also smiled. "However, I think that if you continue to stay by her side, it will be more useful to us in the future. Isn't your Cloak Gang the reserve of the Palace Guards? This is a wonderful identity with a lot of room to play. "
"Sir Joseph is really wise." This proposal was exactly what Chen Rui wanted. He pretended to ponder and said, "It's just that if this is the case, the arena may have to be returned to Princess Jía. This should be my trophy."
Joseph praised, "Smart man! The arena originally belonged to her, but when her father was young, he lost it to my father, Lord Josh, in a Sky Battle. Your Excellency's vision should be more far-sighted. If our cooperation is successful, what is a mere arena to us? I still have a lot of resources in the Dark Moon. If sir needs them, I can provide them without limit, but everything has to wait until I return to the Dark Moon. I could have returned in these few days, but something unexpected happened. It may take a while before I can return. The fastest is half a month, and the latest is a month. "
"Okay! I will rush back to meet sir as soon as possible. " Chen Rui deliberately showed a moved tone. He faintly guessed that the accident Joseph mentioned was probably related to Barnacle's "heroic record" in Town Leia. Barnacle was Joseph's subordinate. Being able to continue to drag Joseph into the Red Spirit and Kanita's infighting, and even further intensify it, could be regarded as Chen Rui's unintentional success.
"Then … I'm looking forward to a formal meeting with sir." Joseph smiled slightly. His figure gradually faded and finally disappeared without a trace.
Behind the mask, Chen Rui was also smiling. The biggest spy of the year had successfully kicked off.
Royce took out a magic document about the arena handover. After both parties signed it, the handover was considered complete.
Chen Rui said to Arux, "Arux, you heard what Sir Joseph said just now. You are still responsible for the arena's affairs, but you must be clear that I'm the real controller of the arena. "
Arux's blood-red eyes stared closely at Chen Rui's eyes in the mask; they were full of anger. Chen Rui said indifferently, "If you can't afford to lose, you can leave here immediately. I will never stop you."
Arux snorted coldly, but he didn't leave. He sat down on the sofa, took out a bottle of wine, and drank without saying a word.
"If there's nothing else, I think I won't see you two off."
Royce and Vasasha looked at each other and left. When they walked to the entrance of the arena, Royce said, "Vasasha, if you're free, how about we go for a drink?"
"I'm not free." Vasasha said with a blank expression.
Although Royce asked this deliberately and this answer was expected, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Then I'll go find Arux for a drink."
"Whatever." Vasasha dropped a word and turned to leave.
Royce sighed and turned back to the arena.
After Royce returned to the arena, Vasasha's footsteps paused slightly, then she walked forward faster.
In the hall, Chen Rui took out a bottle of Miao Fruit Wine and threw it to Arux, "This is a specialty of the Shadow Empire. Try it."
"Don't play tricks!" Arux took the bottle and didn't thank him, "Two months later, I want to challenge you again. Do you dare to accept?"
Chen Rui didn't immediately agree. He asked, "Yesterday, you seemed to have touched a little of the Demon King level."
Arux's spirit was suddenly stimulated. He snorted, "Yes, if I broke through to Demon King yesterday, the one who died must be you."
"Reality is reality. There are not so many ifs." Chen Rui threw an extremely tempting olive branch, "However, I can turn your ifs into reality."
Arux's ears suddenly perked up, "What did you say? You can make me a Demon King? "
"Do you think a person who only took two months to advance from Intermediate Demon to Higher Demon can't do this?" Chen Rui smiled slightly.
"Maybe I should believe it." Arux's eyes flashed with passion, "What are your conditions?"
At this time, Royce's figure appeared in the hall. Arux looked at his friend who returned strangely. Then, he heard Chen Rui say something that surprised him, "The condition is surrender. Surrender. True surrender, not like what you and Royce did to Joseph. "
"How do you know?" Arux 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 I don't need to tell you what this is. "
Royce caught it and looked at it. It was just a red round fruit with a hard shell covered with strange patterns. The fruit exuded a faint breath which seemed to contain magical power.
"This fruit is a bit like …" Royce's eyes widened all of a sudden. He felt his hands trembling slightly. His usual calmness and wisdom seemed to have disappeared in an instant. He murmured, "No, impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. This devil fruit is yours now." Chen Rui affirmed faintly. Royce's loss of composure was within his expectation. Even Athena couldn't avoid it back then.
"Devil fruit!" Arux stood up abruptly and stared at the fruit in Royce's hand. His breathing also became rapid.
It's actually a devil fruit! This fruit can greatly increase the potential of Demons, increasing the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck several times. There's also a very small chance of obtaining additional special abilities! This is the most important and priceless treasure of Demons! There are countless Demons who know the effects of the devil fruit, but only a few actually get it.
The value of this fruit is immeasurable. If it is brought outside, I'm afraid it will cause unimaginable disputes. "Aguile" actually gave it to Royce casually!
