2490 Big Secret!



Regardless of whether they had truly submitted, they at least appeared to have done so.

Sweet Vanquish looked at Evening Crystal and felt increasingly apologetic.

Evening Crystal did not say anything when she saw Sweet Vanquish's apologetic gaze. All she did was twitch her lips in the direction of Lhalu and Ice Forest to gesture at Sweet Vanquish to take advantage of the situation.

Sweet Vanquish ignored Evening Crystal's gesturing and only winked at her in thanks.

Sweet Vanquish felt that he did not need to take advantage of the situation now.

However, as long as they were weaker than Lin Yuan, they could only keep their heads lowered in front of Sweet Vanquish.

He could not use a soft approach in order to bring them over to his side. The only possible method was to use force.

In response to Lhalu and Ice Forest's silence, Sweet Vanquish's voice turned cold. "What? Are you telling me that the two of you have other plans? Since you're unwilling to listen to Lord Lin Yuan's orders, I will go to him now and ask him to teach you a good lesson!"

Once he was done speaking, Sweet Vanquish made a show of leaving the guest room.

Frankly, he would not go to Lin Yuan immediately after leaving the guest room. If he ran to Lin Yuan to complain about such a small matter, Lin Yuan would be disappointed in him.

Sweet Vanquish only wanted to scare Ice Forest and Lhalu and force them into submission.

The two of them had already submitted, but submitted in terms of words and actions were completely different matters.

It would be easier for him to tame them once they submitted in terms of words.

The moment Sweet Vanquish's first foot stepped out of the guest room, Ice Forest and Lhalu said simultaneously, "Sweet Vanquish, we're willing to listen to you! We hope that you won't slander us even if you don't speak up on our behalf. The four of us are now a team. The team's strength will suffer regardless of who falls into trouble."

Lhalu and Ice Forest said this while only considering their own profits.

Yet, Sweet Vanquish smiled when he heard that.

If Ice Forest and Lhalu saw the four of them as a team, things would be able to proceed with much greater ease from now on!

Sweet Vanquish pulled the two of them up from the ground and said with a cold expression, "I won't say anything unnecessary. I'm sure the two of you are well aware of the circumstances. As long as you listen to me and don't make me look bad in front of Lord Lin Yuan, I promise not to take away your profits!

"If Lord Lin Yuan rewards me in the future, it will also come from your effort. I will provide you with the benefits that you deserve. However, you have to be obedient and not act a certain way in front of me, then another way behind my back!"

Lin Yuan had been instructing Red Thorn to keep watch over what was happening in the meeting room through the Abyss Great Emperor.

Lin Yuan handed the mess that was Evening Crystal, Lhalu, and Ice Forest to Sweet Vanquish. Thus, he needed to ensure that Sweet Vanquish was up to the job.

If Sweet Vanquish turned out to be incapable, Lin Yuan would have to come up with other plans.

Luckily, Sweet Vanquish did not disappoint him.

Someone so cowardly and prone to adulation as Sweet Vanquish did not make a good friend or foe.

But as Lin Yuan's subordinate, Sweet Vanquish would be able to do well as long as he was only given small tasks.

Three hours passed by in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yuan sat on the Abyss Great Emperor's shoulder and followed Blue Umber, Red Beauty, and the four Samsara Realm Dictators that were newly under his control into the Earth Ancestral Palace.

With nothing to do during their journey, Lin Yuan started to ask Sweet Vanquish and the rest of them questions.

"Sweet Vanquish, you previously reported that the Earth Ancestral Palace had sent out the order instructing all Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to head to the Earth Ancestral Palace. Why do you think Earth Ancestral Palace is making such a big move?"

Lin Yuan's question stumped Sweet Vanquish.

Sweet Vanquish had not been paying close attention to the Earth Ancestral Palace, as they could not touch him. If he kept tabs on them, any news about Hollow Earth would only add to his troubles!

But now that Lin Yuan had asked him, he could not say that he did not know.

His brain began turning quickly as he sorted out all the information that he knew about the Earth Ancestral Palace.

He soon remembered that his betrayal had caused Hollow Earth to halt the division of assets. The large-scale division of assets was likely the only thing that could cause the three figures in the Earth Ancestral Palace to stir up such a commotion.

After gathering the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, the Earth Ancestral Palace would have to host them comfortably.

Without these Turning Wheel Realm Dictators taking care of the four major mine districts, the four mine districts would become disorganized, and the harvesting of mineral veins would be affected. If that happened, the messengers would have fewer resources to offer the Earth Ancestral Palace.

With this thought, Sweet Vanquish said warily, "Lord Lin Yuan, could it be that they are trying to divide up the assets again? I think that this possibility is highly plausible!"

Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Evening Crystal, Lhalu, and Ice Forest and said, "What do you think?"

This was the first time that Lin Yuan was trying to engage them in discussion. Lhalu and Ice Forest seemed to see this as their chance to save their image.

On the other hand, Evening Crystal had not only chosen to become loyal to Lin Yuan but genuinely wanted him to have a good impression of her. Thus, she started to seriously ponder over his question.

All four of them had heard the news that the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators from the four major districts were being gathered at the Earth Ancestral Palace.

In order to investigate the situation, the three of them had even sent the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators who were loyal to them to the Earth Ancestral Palace to scout out the situation before reporting back to them.

All three of them felt that there was something wrong with the Earth Ancestral Palace's order.

Evening Crystal and Ice Forest's answers were very similar to Sweet Vanquish's. Both of them believed that the division of resources was a highly likely possibility to explain what was happening.

Lhalu and Evening Crystal seemed to remember something while giving their replies as their expressions turned stern as though they were deep in thought.

Only after Ice Forest spoke, Lhalu decided to tell Lin Yuan about what had been going through his mind.

It was unlikely that Sweet Vanquish, Evening Crystal, and Ice Forest were aware of this.

"Lord Lin Yuan, I have a different view on this matter. Sweet Vanquish ended up in the four major mine districts because he betrayed the Earth Ancestral Palace, while Evening Crystal and Ice Forest were never chosen to become attendants because they refused to agree to the Earth Ancestral Palace's terms and rejected Mountain Furrow and Rock Underworld's olive branches.

"Because of my Vein Land Imp bloodline, I was once the subordinate of all three of the Earth Ancestral Palace's Samsara Realm Dictators. I helped them search for top mineral veins and form the heart of the mineral vein.

"All three of them treated me extremely well, better than the other attendants. I left because I stumbled on a secret. I think that this matter is more likely related to that secret than the division of assets!"
