Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Felix’s Plan, Heading to the Sovereign City
Daniel was almost angry. He was a blogger with millions of followers across the internet, and he had gone to interview someone, only to be chased away.
This had never happened to him before.
He had thought his actions would help promote Aiden, but Aiden had been completely ungrateful!
Daniel walked to a less crowded place, pulled out his phone, and made a call.
“I’ve made up my mind. But I need more money. Aiden is very popular now, and I might lose a lot of followers.”
“I want thirty million.”
A deep voice on the other end replied.”Money is not a big issue. And soon, there will be many bloggers like you.”
“What you need to do is first post videos as usual, keep praising Aiden, and say he’s a perfect saint.”
Daniel smiled and said.”I get it. If you want to destroy someone, first make them look too good. That’s the way of ’praise killing.’”
“When everyone thinks Aiden is perfect, even the smallest mistake will be blown out of proportion.”
The person on the other end laughed.”You understand. I’ll send you some materials later. Get ready in advance.”
After hanging up, Daniel turned around and just happened to see a huge statue being taken to the center of The White City.
The red cloth was pulled off, revealing Aiden’s handsome face, his fancy wand, his powerful cloak, and his huge metal wings.
This statue was built by the people of The White City, on their own.
Daniel sneered and muttered to himself.”It won’t be long before the people who built this statue tear it down themselves!”
“Wait and see, you’ll regret it, Aiden!”
…
In the villa of First Minister Felix of the Sovereign City.
In the study, he looked calmly at a servant and asked in a soft voice: “How is everything going?”
The old servant lowered his head and carefully answered: “Everything is ready. Once Aiden arrives in the Sovereign City, we can start the plan.”
Felix stood up and slowly walked to the window, looking out at the Sovereign City. He sighed and said.
“If it were a different time, I would have respected him for saving the city. He truly deserves the title of hero of the Sovereign City.”
“But unfortunately, the empire now needs stability. The so-called prodigies have already made the military and the emperor restless. Adding Aiden into the mix would completely break the balance.”
“The Abyss is an enemy we can never beat. The demons are only one of its races. There are still many unknown enemies out there.”
The old servant nodded. Many things were beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Their vision was too short, only able to predict what would happen in a few days.
People who could see the big picture and plan for the long term were rare. But Felix, the man he had served for many years, was one of them.
That young man named Aiden had no idea what was coming. It was a pity.
The old servant slowly left, entering a secret room. Inside, a small woman was locked in a big iron cage, looking empty and lifeless.
“It’s time. Contact the Evil Demons Guild and tell them that Aiden can only be killed when he is disgraced and blamed by everyone.”
“As for the chance they need, it won’t take long to come.”
The small woman laughed coldly and said: “Who would have thought that the First Minister of the empire would work with the Evil Demons Guild, a group everyone hates, to eliminate potential threats?”
The servant showed no emotion and said: “Everything is for the peace of the empire.”
“Peace? Fake peace! The prodigies, the geniuses who died because of you… Ahhhhh!” The small woman shook all over and screamed in pain.
The old servant’s hand was holding a doll that looked exactly like her, and he kept squeezing it.
Every time the doll changed, the small woman’s body changed in a strange way too.
“Do what I said.” the old servant said, his expression calm, as if he had seen this many times before.
After a while, the small woman finally trembled and slowly lifted a finger, pointing into the air. A very regular wave appeared instantly.
As the woman moved her finger, the waves twisted and connected, forming an invisible bird.
The invisible bird flew out of the villa and into the sky, moving extremely fast.
Neither the birds in the sky nor the defense barrier of the Sovereign City could sense its presence.
No one knew how long it had been, but the bird finally landed on a dark mountain and went underground.
A pale hand slowly reached out, caught the bird, and placed it on a black stone table in front of him.
He was wearing a black cloak that covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of red eyes visible.
“Felix sent a message about Aiden.” the mysterious man suddenly said.
By the stone table, the air began to shake. A blurry, faceless projection appeared, and a mechanical voice said.
“Aiden? That young man who ruined our plan?”
“Yes. The Nightwyrm Lord is angry. Aiden has been marked as a top-level target for assassination.” The cloaked man tapped the stone table lightly. A series of red and black magic circles, about the size of a palm, appeared one after another. They were very similar to the ones above The White City.
“The times have changed. The gods of the Abyss are about to awaken. The war of all races is coming. But that fool Felix is still dreaming of peace.” The faceless projection spoke with a mocking tone.
The cloaked man said calmly.”The human race also has its gods. We still need Felix. As for Aiden, do what he said. You can choose the right assassin.”
…
The White City.
Aiden climbed onto Luke’s Giant Dark Raven. The bird’s wings were fine, but one of its legs was badly injured.
The Giant Dark Raven seemed to recognize Aiden and made a loud, annoyed sound.
Aiden didn’t understand what it was saying. He turned to look at Luke.
Luke smiled and explained.”It’s saying that last time, you warned others, but not it. There was an ambush in the forest below.”
Aiden felt a little embarrassed. At that time, he had completely forgotten that a pet like the Giant Dark Raven was very smart.
It really was his mistake. The bird had carried him through the air, and when danger came, it didn’t get a warning.
Aiden thought for a moment, then asked Luke.”Does the Demon’s Heart increase the chance of a Reclaser’s tier upgrade? What about for pets?”
Luke nodded. It worked for pets too. And the Demon’s Heart was very rare. Each demon only dropped one.
Although many Abyss demons had appeared in The White City, not many were high tier.
At least, only a Diamond Rank Demon’s Heart had a noticeable effect.
Without hesitation, Aiden pulled out an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart and threw it toward the Giant Dark Raven.
The Giant Dark Raven didn’t care that Luke was still on its back. It suddenly spread its wings and flew wildly.
Luke and the others stared in shock. Even Luke, who was the vice president of the Reclaser Association of The Sovereign City, couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Luke opened his mouth and asked.”That… is an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart?”
Aiden nodded and said to the Giant Dark Raven.”How about that? Are you satisfied?”
The Giant Dark Raven cheered and gently stretched its big head forward toward Aiden.
“What does that mean?” Aiden looked at Luke.
Luke bit his teeth and said.”It said, if it wasn’t my pet, it would have wanted to be yours!”
“Ungrateful thing.”
Aiden wanted to laugh. He actually wanted a good pet. But The White City didn’t have any. He didn’t know if The Sovereign City did.
“By the way, John, your Hawthorne family’s trading company, do you have any pets that are Epic or higher? They need to have high defense and a lot of health.”
“John?” Aiden noticed that John seemed to be frozen, like he had crashed.
John suddenly ran to Aiden’s side and looked at him with a complicated expression, asking:
“Did you say you wanted to give me something in return? Was it really an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart?”
When he saw Aiden nod, he lost control and grabbed the Giant Dark Raven’s mouth, shouting.
“Spit it out! Give it back to me!”
Aiden wanted to laugh. He still remembered how John had said he had everything he needed.
“Come on, it’s just one Epic-grade Demon’s Heart. Here, catch!”
John felt something flying toward him and instinctively reached out to catch it.
When he opened his hand, it was clearly an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart.
John clutched it tightly, staring at Aiden in disbelief, asking.”You… you have more?”
Aiden nodded. The thousand Demon’s Hearts that came out of the Flame Demon Oslu hadn’t been used much, and the Spider Demon Roth had just dropped another thousand.
He had nearly two thousand Demon’s Hearts on him, and he didn’t need them all.
And once his strength improved, killing a Legendary Rank demon boss wouldn’t be hard.
Epic-grade Demon’s Hearts were definitely nothing compared to Legendary ones.
Vivi stood nearby and couldn’t help but swallow hard. She also wanted one, but such things were too precious, and she didn’t have anything to trade.
Just as she was thinking that, another Epic-grade Demon’s Heart flew toward her.
Vivi caught it, opened her mouth wide, and looked at Aiden with excitement.
Aiden smiled and said.”When the Abyss attacked, you all gave me a lot of supplies. I still have a lot of these.”
A lot?
Vespera, Vivi, and John all took a sharp breath.
This was something even the top geniuses of the Sovereign City didn’t have, and Aiden had plenty.
“Uh, uh, it’s time to go. Heading to the Sovereign City.”
“Aiden, everyone in the Sovereign City is waiting for you.” Luke suddenly said.
