2489 What Do You Have to Gain?

It was possible that Sweet Vanquish, who was the first to join Lin Yuan, would become their manager in the future. If that happened, not only would Evening Crystal be unopposed, but she would also listen to Sweet Vanquish obediently.

After all, she had been so responsive to Sweet Vanquish’s soul message!

Lhalu and Ice Forest were extremely unwilling to be managed by Sweet Vanquish. They were extremely indignant of Sweet Vanquish due to his lowly and impure bloodline.

The Land Imps always prioritized their bloodline. However, Lin Yuan declared that they had to either submit or die. There was no way that Ice Forest and Land Imp would dare to test Lin Yuan.

Both of them followed in Evening Crystal’s footsteps and swore on their source totems to become loyal to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan ignored them and tossed another two earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to Sweet Vanquish.

“You have done well. You will lead the three of them for now. Two hours later, head to the Earth Ancestral Palace.”

Once he was done speaking, Lin Yuan led Red Beauty and Blue Umber out of the guest room.

At first, Lin Yuan had treated Dictators like East Glow with great respect.

But after experiencing so much and gaining subordinates of increasing power, Samsara Realm Dictators were now nothing but tools and labor to Lin Yuan.

There was no need for Lin Yuan to be overly concerned about every Samsara Realm Dictator.

Sweet Vanquish and the other three had known each other for a long time, and he was smart enough to know what to do.

Lin Yuan was now fully focused on the Earth Ancestral Palace.

According to news he had received from Eternal Source, the Earth Ancestral Palace seemed to be gathering forces.

A large number of Turning Wheel Realm Dictators from the four major mine districts had gathered at the Earth Ancestral Palace. Clearly, they were not there to offer resources to the nine Samsara Realm Dictators. They did not have to go personally if they were there to offer resources.

There had to be something else going on.

Eternal Source needed to keep watch over the Earth Ancestral Palace’s every move and could not capture one of the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to question them. Otherwise, he would set off the alarms and fail to wait until Lin Yuan made his move.

After reading Eternal Source’s report, Lin Yuan thought back to something that had been part of Sweet Vanquish’s previous reports.

Sweet Vanquish said that Hollow Earth, Mountain Furrow, and Rock Underworld all wanted to show off their status and had been preparing since two millennia ago to divide up their assets.

After his betrayal, Hollow Earth lost one attendant and came off as weaker than Rock Underworld and Mountain Furrow when they divided up their assets. Thus, Hollow Earth had personally scrapped this plan.

After Eternal Source’s investigation, he found that there were a total of nine Samsara Realm Dictators in the Earth Ancestral Palace.

This meant that the empty attendant position had been filled.

Were the large number of Turning Wheel Realm Dictators streaming into the Earth Ancestral Palace related to the division of assets?

Lin Yuan was nonchalant about the division of assets as any number of Turning Wheel Realm Dictators could be easily kept under control by Afterlife Realm power.

Furthermore, with all these Turning Wheel Realm Dictators gathering at the Earth Ancestral Palace, Lin Yuan could save the effort of going to look for them.

While Lin Yuan was communicating with Eternal Source through the Thoughts Letter Paper, Sweet Vanquish gleefully went over to Sweet Vanquish and pulled her up before taking a step forward and forcefully stomping down on Lhalu and Ice Forest’s hands.

Lhalu and Ice Forest let out a gasp before they glared at Sweet Vanquish.

Sweet Vanquish smiled and exerted more force into his leg.

“Ice Forest, Lhalu, you must be extremely displeased with me! I know you have always looked down on me. But none of that matters now. From now on, you have no choice but to listen to me! I will report the matter to Lord Lin Yuan if you aren’t obedient. I’m sure that he would prefer to turn the disobedient ones into source totems. Don’t you think I’m right?”

At first, Lhalu and Ice Forest wanted to forcefully push off Sweet Vanquish’s feet. But after hearing what he said, they continued to glare at him but did not follow up with any other action.

Ice Forest kept his voice stable and said, “Sweet Vanquish, what are you so smug about? You are just his servant! What do you have to be so happy about?”

“There are worlds of differences between different servants! To Lord Lin Yuan, my rank is higher than both you and Lhalu. Why else would he reward me with this treasure and instruct me to manage you two idiots?

“From now on, you will have to listen to my orders. Or else, I’ll tell Lord Lin Yuan that you are being uncooperative. If he is enraged by your disobedience, he might even ask me to put an end to your lives!” replied Sweet Vanquish.

When Lin Yuan handed Sweet Vanquish the leverage, he knew that he could take any attitude he wanted with Ice Forest and Lhalu.

Sweet Vanquish was acting this way toward Lhalu and Ice Forest because he knew that both of them despised him to their cores.

If he took a soft approach, they would only see it as an opportunity to become more impudent. If the rules were not laid down right from the beginning, they would only become more difficult to manage in the future.

Lin Yuan had instructed him to manage Lhalu and Ice Forest. If Lhalu and Ice Forest were disobedient, Lin Yuan’s opinions of them would not change, but he would see Sweet Vanquish as incompetent.

Lin Yuan had already made it clear that he was going to utilize Sweet Vanquish. Sweet Vanquish hoped that Lin Yuan would use him more in the future. Thus, he could not allow Lin Yuan to question his capabilities.

He also needed to do all he could to keep Lhalu and Ice Forest under control because, given the circumstances, they could be considered weapons under his control. He could use Lhalu and Ice Forest as leverage when he competed with Lin Yuan’s other subordinates in the future.

Evening Crystal looked at Sweet Vanquish with a troubled expression.

Evening Crystal felt that she should be hating Sweet Vanquish as he was the one who caused her to fall under someone else’s control.

If she had not fallen for Sweet Vanquish’s scheme and had been lured there, she would have still been a powerful free agent. Although she would still be no match for the Earth Ancestral Palace, she could at least spend her days living comfortably.

However, Sweet Vanquish had caused her to be taken captive and become a dispensable tool.

Yet, for some unknown reason, Evening Crystal found it very difficult to feel hatred for Sweet Vanquish.

Eventually, she sighed and said to Ice Forest and Lhalu, “My suggestion is that you listen to Sweet Vanquish. The pearl that was just tossed to Sweet Vanquish contains pure earth-elemental energy. This Lord is very generous. You might have the chance to receive something from him in the future!”

After hearing what Evening Crystal said, Ice Forest and Lhalu’s gazes changed, and they lowered their heads in a posture of submission.
