Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 272
Advertisement
After comforting Ebenezer, Vincent turned to look at Adolphus and asked softly, "You've been in the capital of Ultimate Evil for a long time. Is there any way to help him change his appearance temporarily? Any race is fine!"
Adolphus looked at Vincent in surprise and asked in return, "Can't you change your appearance as you wish? Why don't you teach it to your disciple?"
Vincent did not hide anything and said honestly, "This ability is a gift, I can't teach it even if I wanted to! Haven't you always been known to have extraordinary eyesight? Help me think of a solution!"
Adolphus looked at Vincent quietly, as if he could not understand the look of familiarity that Vincent had with him. But after a long silence, he turned around and walked to the desk. He opened a cabinet in the mezzanine and took out a necklace.
"This is Bard's necklace. When you wear it, you can turn your appearance into a Bard!" said Adolphus in a deep voice.
Vincent looked at the necklace and then at Adolphus. He thought that this guy must have used his identity as a Bard to do some shady things. It seemed that the Bard had taken a lot of blame for Adolphus!
However, with this necklace, at least Ebenezer could go out in the open. Therefore, Vincent said with satisfaction, "Thank you!"
Just as Vincent was about to reach out to take the necklace, Adolphus suddenly pulled back.
Vincent looked at Adolphus in surprise.
Adolphus said calmly, "Previously, our deal was that you will help me deliver the things that I needed. I then helped you to bring your disciple out of the arena alive. Now we are even! If you want to take this necklace, you should at least pay the same price!"
"Master, the Shadow Demons are the best at hiding. Even if I don't have this necklace, I can still make it impossible for others to discover my identity!"

Ebenezer noticed that Adolphus was taking advantage of the situation. He could not help but want to reject the deal on behalf of his master.
However, Vincent waved his hand, indicating that it was fine.
He then turned around and sat down in front of the sofa in his room. He took out two authority scrolls and placed them on the coffee table.
Adolphus looked at the two scrolls and swallowed his saliva unconsciously. He turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
Vincent smiled slightly. He continued to count on his fingers as he said, "When Jackson chased me back then, you must have been there too. He accidentally dropped five scrolls in my room. When I was escaping, I used one of them. I let my disciple fake his death and used another one to save him. The remaining two are all here! I have a lot of life-saving items. I don't think I'll be able to use these scrolls in the future, so I might as well sell them to you. Now, it's time for you to give me something in return!"
Adolphus looked at Vincent silently and sat on the sofa opposite him. He asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill people and steal their goods? Scrolls with divine powers are enough for me to abandon you, you know that right?"
Vincent said disapprovingly, "As I said, I have a lot of trump cards. These two scrolls are things that I don't need for the time being. Otherwise, why do you think I would sell them to you? If you want to attack me now, I have enough confidence that I can escape. But when the time comes, it's not certain which one of us will be unlucky!"
Adolphus looked at Vincent, who only had the strength of a level 30 creature. However, he did not disagree with him. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Adolphus slowly opened his mouth and said, "There were once god-class ability scrolls on the market. The highest auction record was 45 million dark crystals. I'll give you 90 million dark crystals for two scrolls. This necklace in my hand will be given to you as a gift!"

After saying that, Adolphus took out a card carved out of black crystals from his pocket. Together with the necklace in his hand, he pushed it in front of Vincent.
Vincent leaned forward and raised his hand to press down gently on the two modified authority scrolls. He smiled and asked, "Why? Aren't you going to try and kill me? If you succeed, that would be a once-and-for-all benefit!"
Adolphus smiled magnanimously and said, "Compared to killing you, I need a partner who has enough trump cards!"
Vincent did not say anything more. Instead, he pushed the two scrolls in front of Adolphus and put away the dark gold cards and the necklace on the coffee table.
Adolphus put away the two modified authority scrolls carefully. He then stood up and said, "My room is very safe. Even the Ultimate Evil Lord is unable to listen to any sound in the room! I still have some things to deal with. I'll leave the room to you. I'll instruct my men. You can leave at any time!"
With that, Adolphus turned around and left.
Vincent looked at Adolphus's back and smiled knowingly. He did not say anything else until Adolphus left the room. He threw the necklace in his hand to Ebenezer. He then instructed, "You should wear this first. However, with your strength, you should still be careful when you move around the capital of Ultimate Evil. Fortunately, the Shadow Demon race's natural advantage is to hide their aura so it will be difficult for others to detect your true strength. You should first find a safe place to stay and cultivate. When I need you, I will take the initiative to contact you!"
After saying that, Vincent took out a dark crystal card from his pocket and placed it in Ebenezer's hand.
The card contained the money that Irene had saved up. There were about two million dark crystals in the card. According to Irene, the money was enough to buy a small quiet house and maintain daily life for a period of time. This happened after Irene had been cheated and lost all of Vincent's materials. She blamed herself and decided to give all her money to Vincent.
At that time, the two of them had already decided to work together, so Vincent did not refuse. As he had given this small sum of money to Ebenezer, who needed it to hide his tracks, the huge sum of 90 million dark crystals could be brought back and given to Irene.
"Master, don't worry! I will definitely focus on training to become master's helper as soon as possible!" said Ebenezer firmly.
Vincent nodded. He then instructed, "If you need materials for cultivation, feel free to look for Adolphus. Tell him to deduct the money from my account. When the time comes, I will settle everything with him one by one. Don't have any misgivings. You only have one task now. Work hard to increase your strength! Not just for me, but to also better protect your Shadow Demon world in the future!"
Ebenezer was greatly encouraged. His eyes were resolute as he put on the Bard necklace. The dark fog that symbolized darkness around him instantly faded, turning into a black shadow that was shrouded in a loose robe.
Vincent then reverted to his Evil Spirit appearance. The master and disciple swaggered out of the Evil Spirit's stronghold. They walked side by side for a distance on the main road of the capital of Ultimate Evil before separating.

The Solipsist
Every novel needs a main character, and in this case, it's a young man named Jacob Bates. Jacob is your average guy who likes books, television, and long walks on the beach. One day, Jacob was diagnosed with a condition that made his body frail and weak. This drove Jacob to focus solely on his studies, ending up becoming a fairly capable guy, despite his condition. The road ahead was looking great! That's when a little scene occurred between Jacob's girlfriend and one of his male classmates. Jacob's mood was a little lower than dirt from thereon. His motivation to pursue his studies, gone. This event caused Jacob to fall into the death grip that is a job in retail. One day, while Jacob was mopping the cold floors of the grocery store he worked in, a strange blue screen appeared in front of him, notifying him that the world was going through a change. Now if this change was a good or bad thing, he didn't know. But there was one thing Jacob knew for certain. He didn't have to mop the floors anymore. Author's Note: (This is my first story, and I would be very thankful if grammatical errors were pointed out. I could also take a few suggestions in the comments if you would. This is less a planned production, and more a little project that I'm winging as it goes. I will try and be consistent with at least 2 chapters a week. Also, as I am a completely new author, the number of words per chapter may fluctuate. The minimum will be around 1000 words, while other chapters may be 2000-3000. It will hopefully only get better with time.)
