Bu Ye thus spoke,
Mr. Matthew was struck by his words,
"Treasure?"
"What treasure?"
Bu Ye replied promptly,
"The Demon Treasure Orb."
"That is the treasure left in the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes by the Abyssal Lord, Fernando."
"Fernando is the progenitor of all Demon Warlocks in the material world, and the token he left contains authority tied to the main body of the Abyss."
"The orb is of no use to Lady Xue herself, but it holds significant aning for ."
Mr. Matthew frowned and asked,
"So she still didn't give it to you?"
An angry expression flashed across Bu Ye's unsightly face,
"She gave a fake one!"
"And the forgery was quite skillful; it took a long ti to realize I had been deceived, trusting her so much!"
"If I hadn't discovered at the last mont that it was a counterfeit, had I taken that orb into the main body of the Abyss, I would have certainly t an unmarked grave!"
"At that mont, I understood that the woman doesn't despise my looks, nor does she hate my identity or race; she simply wants to disappear from this world!"
"Once she needed , so she was willing to make promises."
"But when she beca the queen of the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes, I beca an obstacle to consolidating her power."
"She would only silently curse to die."
"Why should I make life easy for such a woman?"
Mr. Matthew thoughtfully thought,
"So, you had Huang Chen and the demons harass the borders of the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes?"
"But if you hate her so much, why did you make a deal with her again?"
Bu Ye sighed and said,
"I was left with no choice."
"At that ti, carrying the fake Demon Treasure Orb, an archenemy from the Abyss took advantage of my vulnerability; that bastard almost beat to death!"
"I was still under the effects of Lady Xue's banishnt spell and other curses, and in order to catch a breath, I had to agree to her terms—
That is, to duel with soone she found every now and then.
If I lose even once,
I can never return to the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes or trouble her again.
If I win all five tis,
Then she promised that this ti she would fulfill her previous promise—
To hand over both the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes and herself..."
Mr. Matthew, with an undecided expression, said,
"So you believed her again?"
The reaction from Bu Ye was vehent,
"Of course, I didn't!"
"Do I look like a fool to be deceived a second ti?"
"Exactly because I don't believe she will fulfill her promise, that's why I ca to seek you!"
"Mr. Matthew, I am aware of your strength and influence in the world of Aindor!"
"Woman like Lady Xue only obey those who are stronger, smarter than her—you appear to be just such a person!"
"That's why I ca here today, to strike a deal with you—
You help obtain the Demon Treasure Orb from Lady Xue.
In exchange, I can cooperate with you to launch a full-scale attack on the Demoness of Desire's territory at the appropriate ti!
Hahaha...
Before coming, I did so howork.
Though the Abyss is isolated, the events happening on Storluk have gradually spread here.
In my territory,
Many demons greatly admire you.
I think we could beco the perfect partners!
You dominate the material world while I beco the true Abyssal Demon King.
Let our collaboration begin with the Demon Treasure Orb and attacking purgatory, what do you think?"
After listening to Bu Ye's narrative laden with strong personal feelings,
Mr. Matthew squinted his eyes, then suddenly laughed.
This devil,
Isn't as rough as he seems...
He bluntly pointed out the core issue,
"Forgive my directness, but obtaining the Demon Treasure Orb from Lady Xue and attacking purgatory at the appropriate ti are not equivalent in this deal."
Bu Ye chuckled and said,
"With your Charm and strength, taking down Lady Xue won't be too difficult."
"And the man she has chosen is claid to be your friend; you wouldn't want him to co to , seeking Death, right?"
"Attacking purgatory is a big move, inevitably drawing troops; carefully calculating, I think maybe I'm the one at a bit of a loss!"
However, Mr. Matthew remained unmoved,
"Attacking purgatory is essentially in line with the Will of the main body of the Abyss—an easy task for you demons, right?"
"It's rely a change in the timing."
"The most important point is, I never intended to get involved in this affair."
"If you really want to drag a neutral party like into this, you'll need to offer a more tempting chip!"
Bu Ye thought for a mont,
"I can offer a divine artefact from the Abyss in exchange!"
Mr. Matthew calmly watched the other party.
After a long pause,
He suddenly smiled gently,
"You see, regarding the trade for the Demon Treasure Orb, we can discuss it."
"But such a significant matter, there's no way two strangers would undertake such a huge deal upon just eting, right?"
"It's all step by step, gradually building trust, and then considering such a high-level trade, right?"
Bu Ye squinted,
"So, what you an is..."
Mr. Matthew smiled and said,
"We can first collaborate on the matter of attacking purgatory."
"If our cooperation is enjoyable, then after the Storluk affair is over, I'll definitely help you get the Demon Treasure Orb—of course, you'll also have to provide a divine artefact worthy of exchange."
Bu Ye's eyes nearly narrowed into lines.
He no longer spoke.
He clearly realized that the proposal Mr. Matthew laid out was essentially getting a free ride,
"This is a rare opportunity for any ambitious Abyssal Lord."
