Chapter 278 - Unexpected Gain: The Trade Route Was Opened
Vincent looked cautiously at the door that Wilson had exposed. Although Vincent had taken the initiative to come and meet Wilson, he still felt somewhat anxious in his heart. Wilson did not attack him. He was not aggressive towards him either. Vincent could not understand why Wilson was not at least hostile to him.
However, as things had come to this point, Vincent had no way out. He took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to walk into Wilson’s room.
The room was not as gloomy and terrifying as Vincent had imagined. Instead, he was shocked by the magnificent sight in front of him. Although the house was located in a dilapidated alley. The interior of the house was filled with luxurious golden tiles, jade pillars, and countless gemstones on the surrounding walls.
Vincent had never seen such a luxurious room even when he visited a palace back in the Human Race.
Although there were tables and chairs in the room, they were all normal size. Given Wilson’s terrifying body size, he could not use them at all. They must be used to receive guests.
Wilson walked towards a small hill that was made of gold coins. The pile of gold coins was located in the middle of the room. He twisted his body and laid down on it. He lowered his head in enjoyment. If he had not kept his eyes open to look at Vincent, it would have looked as if he had fallen asleep.
Vincent looked at Wilson in a daze. He was thinking whether the pile of gold coins was Wilson’s sofa or his bed, or maybe even both.
Wilson suddenly opened his mouth and said to Vincent indifferently, “Please sit!”
Vincent turned around and sat on the chair that was carved using white jade. He smiled and said, “Your home is really an eye-opener for me!”
Wilson did not care about Vincent’s flattery. It could even be said that he did not react to it at all. He just sized up Vincent quietly.
It was not until Vincent felt uncomfortable that Wilson opened his mouth and said, “You killed Robert. What kind of benefits do you want me to give you?”
“Huh?”
Vincent looked at Wilson in surprise. His eyes were filled with confusion and shock.
He had just killed the Dragon Race’s business representative in the capital of Ultimate Evil. Why would Wilson give him benefits instead?
This was not the same as what Vincent had expected.
“Um, can I ask, do you also want to kill Robert?”
Vincent racked his brains but could not think of an answer, so he could only ask Wilson.
Wilson still looked at Vincent calmly. He did not show any emotion at all. He only seemed to be a little lazy as he said, “The Dragon Race has never thought of doing business in the capital of Ultimate Evil. Robert just caught hold of something on me and kept threatening me to help him provide some trash that the Dragon Race doesn’t need. As the Dragon Race had once made a promise that they would not hurt any of the Subdragons, I had no choice but to maintain a business relationship with him. But I have always hoped that someone could help me kill him. The Dragon Race will not owe any favors. Since you have done it, I must give you some benefits!”
Vincent was shocked again. After Wilson finished speaking, he quickly said, “Wait, did you just say trash? Robert only asked you for the Dragon Race’s trash?”
Wilson still did not move. He just looked at Vincent with a hint of pity and helplessness as he said in a deep voice, “What he wants is the dragon’s scales, teeth, and blood. There are also some things that are not important to the Dragon Race, such as the dragon race’s saliva and feces. However, he still occasionally needs me to help him collect some!”
Vincent could not help but swallow his saliva. Other than the Dragon Race’s saliva and feces, the remaining dragon scales, dragon teeth, and dragon blood were all top-grade materials. This was not only desired by the races in the capital of Ultimate Evil but also among the races in the entire Black Hole world. They were rare goods that were priceless. How did they become so worthless in the eyes of the Dragon Race?
What made Vincent even more puzzled was that Wilson clearly wanted to borrow someone else’s hand to kill Robert, but he never acted. At least, from what Vincent could gather, there was no news about Wilson wanting to kill Robert.
Moreover, as long as this news leaked even a little, with Robert’s character, he would not be able to live a day in the capital of Ultimate Evil!
This made Vincent feel a little incredulous, so after preparing what he wanted to say, he continued to ask, “Can I ask, why do you always stay here and not go outside for a stroll? You could have gone outside and spread some bounty to kill Robert!”
Wilson said without any reaction, “As a noble dragon, how can you have contempt for others and go to the dirty world outside? Only sleeping in treasure is the most comfortable thing! As for Robert, whether he dies or not is not important to me. After all, the lifespan of the Dragon Race is tens or hundreds of times that of the Subdragon Race. When Robert dies of old age, my secret can still be kept!”
Vincent raised his eyebrows. Wilson’s simple and arrogant worldview really made him speechless.
At the same time, he also grasped the character of the Dragon Race. They were lazy, greedy, and loved treasures, especially things that could bring light!
After thinking about it, Vincent suddenly had an idea. He raised his head and said to Wilson with confidence, “Since you want to give me benefits, then I want to take over Robert’s business and continue collecting. Can you give me the trash that the Dragon Race doesn’t want?”
Wilson was not surprised by Vincent’s request. However, he replied in an even more lazy manner, “Robert collects the Dragon Race’s trash from me. As a reward, he needs to keep my secret. What kind of reward can you give me?”
Vincent pointed at the gold coins under Wilson and said, “I can help you collect these treasures that you like and you can continue to add them to your collection!”
After hearing this, Wilson raised his huge head, which was rarely seen. He then said with some excitement, “Good! I’m very satisfied with this deal. I can continue to cooperate with you, but I also hope that you can tell the others that they are not allowed to enter my territory, or I will swallow them all!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely tell them!”
Vincent smiled and nodded whilst agreeing to Wilson’s request.
In fact, even if Wilson did not say anything, Vincent would have come up with a similar reason to forbid others from coming to find Wilson. Once the others found out about Wilson’s attitude towards business, it would be difficult for Vincent to form a monopoly in the capital of Ultimate Evil.
As he had Wilson’s support and access to the supply of the Dragon Race’s materials, he could be considered to have a firm foothold in the capital of Ultimate Evil in the future!
After hearing Vincent’s promise, Wilson closed his eyes and buried his head in the gold coins. With his thunderous voice, he said casually, “Well, you can leave now! If you want the Dragon Race’s materials, wait until you bring me the treasures that I like next time!”
“Okay, Goodbye!” said Vincent. He nodded and turned to walk out of Wilson’s home.
