Chapter 598: Was Determined to Go His Own Way, and the Conflict Escalated
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone present was stunned when they heard what Vincent said.
This was because Charlotte and Richard had clarified with Todd earlier that both sides would not interfere with each other. They would not start a battle unnecessarily.
What Todd and the Moon Association wanted was to annex the Inn. If he fought with the two venerables before entering the Inn, he would make an enemy of the Wanderers Association. At that time, not only would the outcome be unpredictable, but even his grand plan of invading the Inn would be destroyed.
On the contrary, Todd was happy to see Charlotte and Richard leave the Inn. This way, there would be almost no experts at the Inn who could stop the Moon Association.
As for the dragon, Randall who had always stayed at the Inn, Todd had also found a way to specifically deal with him. Therefore, whether the invasion could proceed smoothly depended on whether he could brush past Charlotte and Richard.
Charlotte was able to see through Todd’s plans. That was why she had found an excuse to get herself and Richard out of the matter of Adrian’s murder. She only pointed the blame at Randall.
That was equivalent to giving Todd a legitimate pass to enter the Inn in exchange for the temporary peace between the two sides.
Furthermore, Charlotte was not worried about the Moon Association’s invasion, because there were still the Wanderers Association, the Star Race’s auction house, and the powerful dragon, Randall still at the Inn.
If the Inn was invaded by the Moon Association, everyone’s businesses would come to a stop. Therefore, these powerful races and associations would step in to stop Todd at the critical moment.
Originally, the entire matter had been carried out in an orderly manner under the tacit understanding between Charlotte and Todd. However, Vincent suddenly stood out and admitted that he was the real murderer of Adrian. If Todd ignored him, then he would lose his legitimate reason to invade the Inn. At that time, there would be other forces who would use this opportunity to interfere with the invasion of the Moon Association and compete for the resources at the Inn.
Todd felt like he had been placed on a bonfire after hearing what Vincent said. He was caught in a dilemma as to whether he should directly start a war with the Wanderers Association.
Vincent saw that Todd did not respond, so he asked again, “President Todd, didn’t you say that you wanted to avenge Adrian? Why are you hesitating when your enemy is standing right in front of you? Or is your invasion unrelated to Adrian’s life and death?”
Charlotte and Richard turned to look at Vincent with embarrassment, their eyes pleading with him.
As for Boris and Quinn, who were relatively weaker, they begged Vincent in a low voice, “Please don’t speak anymore. If we anger Todd, I’m afraid we’ll have to face the siege of the entire Moon Association!”
Vincent smiled and said softly, “It’s best if you can let me see the true strength of the Moon Association. Otherwise, this encounter would simply be a waste of time!”
Everyone looked at the blind and confident Vincent. They were very unhappy with him. At the same time, they silently cursed Vincent in their hearts.
Todd, who had been silent all this while, finally could not hold it in anymore when he saw Vincent being so aggressive. He sneered and said, “Fine! Since you’re bent on seeking death today, then I’ll fulfill your wish! Fellow members of the Moon Association, kill all these creatures for me!”
Following Todd’s command, countless figures instantly emerged from the darkness behind him. Half of the creatures were members of the Ghost Bug Race, while the other half were from different races.
Moreover, as an association with extremely high cohesion and extremely powerful strength, more than half of the core members of the Moon Association were experts over level 50. They swarmed forward like a pack of wolves. Even Charlotte and Richard found it difficult to resist!
“President Todd, let’s talk it out! There’s still room for discussion!” shouted Charlotte. She was trying her best to prevent the conflict from erupting.
However, Todd was too lazy to listen to Charlotte. At the same time, a long chain-like pincer foot flew across the sky and directly pierced toward Charlotte.
Charlotte quickly took two steps back. She saw a Ghost Bug standing in front of her. His arm had been broken and black blood was still flowing from the wound. He stared at her angrily and said, “You were the one who cut off my arm just now. Now it is time for you to pay the price!”
His eyes were filled with hatred for Charlotte.
Charlotte had no choice but to make up her mind. She no longer stopped the conflict from erupting. Instead, she took the lead to attack the Ghost Bug in front of her.
This was because she knew that the Ghost Bug Race was the most narrow-minded race. If a Ghost Bug had made up his mind to kill her, the Ghost Bug would not rest until she died. Even if she could temporarily mediate the conflict, it would bring her endless trouble in the future. Therefore, she might as well get rid of the trouble in front of her!
After Charlotte took the initiative to attack the other party, Richard stood alone at the front of the team.
He spread his arms, and countless vines grew out of his body, blocking all the Ghost Bugs that were attacking from the front.
Quinn, who was behind Richard, immediately waved his hands and scattered countless spiritual materials to build an array. A star-shining illusory array was instantly formed, enveloping both Richard and Charlotte along with all the members of the Moon Association. They were all enveloped within the array.
The function of the illusory array was to greatly weaken the Moon Association. The array made it impossible for them to determine their directions or gather their subordinates in a short time. They could only fight in a messy state against Charlotte and Richard, who occasionally appeared in the illusory array.
At the same time, Boris, who was standing in front of Vincent, and Edward, who was standing behind Vincent, quickly pulled Vincent and Kurt away. They were preparing to lead them away from the battlefield.
Boris was no longer submissive and said to Vincent with a serious expression, “It’s dangerous here. Please leave with me immediately!”
Vincent was still standing firmly in his original spot. He casually pushed Boris to the side. Kurt, who was beside Vincent, also pushed Edward away at the same time.
“Please don’t act impulsively anymore. If Todd leaves the array, then none of us will be able to leave alive today!”
Boris shouted at Vincent. He was prepared to pull Vincent away again.
Suddenly, the illusion array in front of Quinn tore open. Immediately after that, Todd jumped out from the crack and rushed straight toward Vincent.
“B*stard, go to hell!”
Todd raised his arms high and roared as he smashed toward Vincent.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” said Vincent.
He let out a gentle sigh, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers. He summoned a space door in front of him causing Todd to fall right in..
