The next morning, the figure of "Agulie" appeared in the registration hall of the arena, which was the agreed handover time.
Waiting for him are the three high-level demons under Joseph's command, Royce, Araux and Vasasa.
Compared with yesterday, Araux's spirit seemed to be much better, but due to his overdrawn strength, he was still a little weak. Feeling that the aura of power emanating from Chen Rui didn't seem to weaken at all but strengthened, Araux looked a little sad and didn't speak.
"Your Excellency Agulie, Master Joseph would like to talk to you before handing over the arena. However, he is currently dealing with affairs in the Scarlet Nether Territory. Please allow me to use the magic communication talisman to contact you."
Chen Rui heard the news of Joseph's absence from Royce yesterday, so he deliberately looked around. Royce understood and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured that there are no other people here except the four of us."
Chen Rui glanced at Vasasa who was expressionless, then looked at Royce, and nodded.
Vasasa's looks are top-notch, but there is still a certain distance compared with Athena. Royce is very attached to this woman.
Royce took out a magic communication talisman, cast its power slightly, and placed it on the table.
The magic communication talisman immediately emitted a beam of light, and soon, it seemed to be connected to the "network", and Joseph's figure appeared in the light beam.
Royce should have contacted Joseph last night. Joseph still smiled and nodded to Chen Rui: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you, Your Excellency Agulie. In just two months, you Leaping from the original mid-level demon to a high-level one in one fell swoop, and defeated the strongest high-level demon under my command, creating a remarkable miracle."
Miracle your sister! If the smiling tiger knew that under the mask was the human being who wanted to kill him, he would smile uglier than cry. Chen Rui sneered secretly, and said in his mouth: "For me, this is not a great miracle. It's just that I have lifted some seals on my body and defeated a low-level opponent who I didn't pay attention to in the first place."
Hearing Chen Rui's description, Araux clenched his fists tightly, but the fact is that his skills are inferior to others, so there is no rebuttal. Judging from the current strength of the opponent, even if he fights again, his chances of winning are very small, unless he can break through that bottleneck!
"'Some' seal?" The smile on Joseph's face grew stronger.
"Don't talk about this," Chen Rui avoided the topic, "It seems that Master Joseph wants to congratulate, not only my victory over Araux. According to the agreement, this arena should be mine."
"This is just an agreement between you and Araux, but I can admit it," Joseph said with a smile: "However, do you agree with the agreement between you and Royce at that time?"
Chen Rui didn't speak, but seemed to be thinking, and said, "What I said, I will naturally keep my promise. I am willing to help Lord Joseph, but whether our relationship is equal cooperation or dependence, we have to wait for my official meeting with the Lord." Make a decision later. Perhaps, the adults will be a good middle-level opponent."
The upper, middle, and lower levels were heard from Pagliu last night, and they were immediately sold out. When Joseph heard the words "middle-level opponents", his eyes lit up: "Great, no matter I welcome that kind of relationship, the arena will be officially handed over to you, I have authorized Royce, and you can sign the handover document on the surface with him."
Chen Rui nodded, and glanced at Araux: "I have to go to practice for a while recently, and further break through the seal on my body. I wonder if I can hand over the affairs of the arena to a subordinate who will take care of it?"
"I heard that Araux 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 trampled underfoot." .”
The knuckles of Araux's clenched fist had turned white. Chen Rui saw it, laughed a few times, and said, "Then... I will openly break with Princess Xia and announce our partnership."
"I believe it will be a major blow to that eldest princess," Joseph also smiled, "However, I think that if you continue to stay by her side, it will have a greater impact on our future. Your cloak Could it be the reserve team of the Royal Guards? This is a wonderful identity with a lot of room to play."
"Lord Joseph is indeed very wise." This proposal fell into Chen Rui's arms, pretending to be pondering, and said: "However, if this is the case, the arena may have to be returned to Princess Xia. It's my spoils."
Joseph praised: "Smart man! The arena originally belonged to her, but when her father lost to my father, Lord Zhuoqie, because of an air competition. Your Excellency should look further, If our cooperation is successful, what is a mere arena? I still have quite a lot of resources in the dark moon. If you need it, I can provide it in unlimited quantities, but everything will have to wait until I return to the dark moon. Originally You can return in a few days, but some unexpected things happen temporarily, it may take a while to come back, half a month at the earliest, and a month at the latest."
"Okay! At that time, I will come back as soon as possible to meet with the adults." Chen Rui deliberately revealed an emotional tone, and he vaguely guessed in his heart that the accident that Joseph said was probably the "heroic" with Banneker in Leia Town. Achievements" related. Banneker, who is Joseph's subordinate, was able to continue to drag Joseph in Chiyou and fight with Carnita, and even further intensified it, which was also Chen Rui's unintentional success.
"Then... looking forward to the official meeting with Your Excellency." Joseph smiled slightly, his figure gradually faded away, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Behind the mask, Chen Rui was also smiling. This year's biggest Infernal Affairs has successfully kicked off.
Royce took out a magic document about the handover of the arena, and after both parties signed it, the handover was considered complete.
Chen Rui said to Araux: "Araux, you heard what Master Joseph said just now. You are still in charge of the affairs of the arena, but it must be clear that I am the real manager of the arena. controller."
Araux's blood-red pupils stared closely at Chen Rui's eyes in the mask, full of anger, Chen Rui said indifferently: "If you can't afford to lose, you can leave here immediately, I will never stop you."
Araux snorted coldly, sat down on the sofa without leaving, took out a bottle of wine, and drank without saying a word.
"If there is nothing else, I don't think I will send you two off."
Royce and Vasasa glanced at each other, said goodbye and left. When they reached the gate of the arena, Royce said, "Vasasa, if you are free, how about we have a drink?"
"No time." Vasasha said blankly.
Although Royce asked this question on purpose, and the answer was expected, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes: "Then I'll go find Araux for a drink."
"Whatever." Vasasa threw down two words, turned around and left.
Royce sighed and turned back to the arena.
After Royce turned back to the arena, Vasasa paused slightly, and then walked forward at a faster pace.
In the hall, Chen Rui took out a bottle of Mugo wine and threw it at Araux: "This is a specialty of the Shadow Empire, try it."
"Stop playing tricks!" Araux took the bottle without thanking him: "Two months later, I will challenge you again, do you dare to accept it?"
Chen Rui didn't immediately agree, and asked, "Yesterday, you seemed to have touched a little bit of the level of a demon king."
Araux's spirit was immediately hit, and he snorted coldly: "Yes, if I broke through to the Demon King level yesterday, you must be the one who died."
"Reality is reality, there are not so many ifs." Chen Rui threw out an extremely tempting olive branch, "However, I can turn your ifs into reality."
Araux's ears perked up: "What are you talking about? You can make me a demon king?"
"Do you think that a person who can go from a low middle level to a high level in just two months can't do this?" Chen Rui smiled slightly.
"Maybe I should believe it," Araux's eyes sparkled, "What's your condition?"
At this time, the figure of Royce appeared in the hall, and Araux looked at this friend who had gone and returned a little strangely, only to hear Chen Rui say something that surprised him: "The condition is surrender. Surrender. Real surrender, not like you and Royce did to Joseph."
"How do you know?" Araux responded immediately: "Royce, what did you say to him?"
Before Royce opened his mouth, he saw Chen Rui throwing something over: "Royce, this is for you. Based on your knowledge, maybe I don't need to tell you what it is."
Royce caught it and saw that it was just a red round fruit with a hard shell and covered with strange textures. The fruit exuded a faint breath and seemed to contain magical power inside.
"This fruit is a bit like..." Royce's eyes widened and his hands trembled slightly. His usual calmness and wisdom seemed to disappear in an instant, and he murmured, "No, it's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible, this devil fruit is yours now." Chen Rui affirmed lightly, Royce's gaffe was within his expectation, even Athena could not have avoided it back then.
"Devil fruit!" Araux stood up "teng", stared at the fruit in Royce's hand, and his breathing became rapid.
It turned out to be a devil fruit! This fruit can greatly enhance the potential of the demons, increase the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck several times, and have a very small chance of obtaining additional special abilities! This is the most important priceless treasure of the Demon Race! There are countless demons who know the efficacy of devil fruit, but only a handful of those who actually get it.
The value of this fruit is immeasurable. If it is taken outside, it may cause unimaginable disputes, but "Agulie" gave it to Royce!
