Chapter 545: 542, Vanity Sect invites the wolf into the house Chapter 545: 542, Vanity Sect invites the wolf into the house “Your Excellency the Duke, you must understand that the mbers of our organization are all very busy, and most of the ti, we are not together. Recently, if it weren’t for your matter, we might have been elsewhere, dealing with our own affairs.”
“Even I would be very busy under normal circumstances.”
“How could anyone possibly find the ti to work with you to handle the Demon Spirit and bring back the mask?”
“I’m sorry if my tone wasn’t quite right.”
“What I an is, either soone else takes on this task, or you do it yourself.”
…
rcer looked at Du Wei, a hint of contempt rising in his heart.
...
Even though he was very well aware that he was no match for this His Excellency the Duke.
After all, he had been beaten up by the man before him and Matthew like a child, and his body was still very honest about it.
But if the other party thought the Vanity Sect would act as he imagined—
That would simply be too foolish.
Any organization that has existed for such a long ti has its own set of rules.
And no one would break them.
And no one could break them.
However.
Du Wei still wore a smile on his face as he said, “I still think we should give it a try. After all, this is the first step for to integrate into the Vanity Sect, and I would very much like to maintain a relatively friendly relationship with everyone.”
A mber within the Vanity Sect, who knows that Alex is the reincarnation of Minette—
Surely also knows about the relationship between His Excellency the Duke and Minette.
The other is in the shadows.
And I am in the open; just throwing out bait is sure to hook them.
Even if they don’t act with , they will reveal so slip-ups.
By then, once the target becos clear—
It would be ti for to act.
rcer shook his head at Du Wei: “If you insist, I have no objections.”
“By the way, may I know to what extent your power has been restored now?”
“I had heard about your peak in the past, which seems to have surpassed the Demon Spirit Strangeness, but I am not clear about how strong you actually are.”
Upon hearing this.
Du Wei thought for a mont before saying, “It’s not easy for to gauge. Apart from Matthew, who can make feel danger, there are only the Demon Gods.”
“Also, I’m not clear about how strong I was at my peak.”
“Because in my era, I was the peak.”
Of course, these words were bluffs.
The power of Du Wei was just so-so, relying entirely on external forces.
The strongest was always the Evil Spirit Du Wei.
In that Victorian Era beyond Hell’s Gate, the Evil Spirit Du Wei truly stood at the peak of the era, and unlike His Excellency the Duke, he never failed.
Instead, he really slaughtered a Demon God.
Of course, rcer did not know any of this, but he agreed with Du Wei’s words.
Indeed, your strength is very formidable, and you would be considered upper-middle in the Vanity Sect.”
“Alright, I’ll end my questioning here. Next, I will take you to headquarters to et the others.”
“You can consider it our welcoming ritual for newcors.”
Upon hearing these words.
Du Wei said with a smile, “I’m looking forward to it.”
rcer also forced a smile, “Then Your Excellency, would it be possible for you to have your Demon Spirit subordinates hold back a bit? I always feel like it really wants to slaughter .”
At this mont, the malice from the shadow was completely unmasked.
And there was an indescribable sense of crisis, as if two Daggers were hidden in the shadows, ready to stab into his heart at any mont.
Du Wei humd in acknowledgnt and whispered, “Co back.”
Imdiately, the shadow quietly disappeared, once again becoming his own shadow.
From the beginning to the end.
rcer had never figured out how the shadow had appeared in the first place.
Logically speaking, the shadow is Du Wei’s shadow, so when the shadow and darkness overlap, all shadows are part of the shadow.
From the very beginning, he had entered the attack range of the shadow.
…
Lake Island.
That very night.
Rowing a small boat, rcer brought Du Wei here.
Looking around.
The entire island was shrouded in darkness.
Only that huge square-shaped building had spots of light shimring, yet it also seed so dim.
The buildings on the island had no trace of modern industrial atmosphere.
Electricity and such were non-existent.
“This is the headquarters of our Vanity Sect, if you co here in the future, you should not see other people because we rarely gather together,”
“Also, we are not used to exposing our true faces. Although everyone knows your information, I still suggest you wear a mask so that you do not look much different from us.”
Leading the way, rcer whispered to Du Wei behind him, “Another thing, everyone uses fake nas, so you needn’t delve too much into it.”
“I understand.”
Du Wei nodded, his face calm as he took out a mask from inside his coat and put it on his face.
Upon seeing this, rcer spoke in a complex tone, “Your mask is sowhat different from ours, but it’s sufficient.”
The masks of the Vanity Sect are Primitive Masks.
What Du Wei wore was a replica produced by an unnad entity after the founding of the Vanity Sect, not too much inferior to the original.
Du Wei was well aware of this.
He followed rcer into the square building.
Once inside, they ascended the winding stairs to the fourth floor.
The view suddenly opened up.
The entire fourth floor space was open, quite large with no walls or obstructions, allowing one to see the end at a glance.
It seed exceptionally chill.
In the center, there was a conference table.
Eleven individuals dressed in black robes, donning hoods, with their faces concealed by masks, were already seated.
When Du Wei and rcer appeared,
everyone slightly lifted their heads, looking over with an indifferent gaze.
“Welco, Your Excellency the Duke.”
“All shall return to Vanity, as well as to us.”
“We are thirteen in number.”
“This number represents the sins not acknowledged by ordinary people.”
“Yet for us, it signifies the dal of our existence.”
Everyone’s attitude was indescribably cold.
Wary and sensitive.
Du Wei was even colder.
He directly said, “Only Vanity shall last forever.”
As he spoke, he walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down with utmost composure.
His deanor was unspeakably graceful, as if he were a gentleman noble from the dieval era.
Seeing this, others could not help but believe more firmly that Du Wei was His Excellency the Duke.
Such a blend of coldness and elegance in temperant.
It was not sothing an ordinary person could emulate.
It signified the sedint of an era.
Then, they all turned their heads, along with Du Wei, to look at rcer, who was standing in place.
Including Du Wei, their gazes were exceptionally calm, nearly as if they were one entity.
It was rcer, however,
who found himself sowhat out of place…
