Chapter 1452 Fake Identity

Adrian believes that he has reached his current position because of his boldness, meticulousness, and adaptability.

Lin Fan and his companions' abilities truly caught him off guard.

But it's good to be capable! As long as they share the same stance, the stronger Lin Fan and his group are, the faster things will progress, the higher the success rate will be, and the easier it will be for him to achieve his goals.

Of course, he may not have an absolute advantage in terms of control.

But there are always gains and losses. As long as the result is achieved, the process is not a big problem.

More importantly, compared to Lin Fan and his few troublesome opponents, this seemingly powerful but ignorant and curious little beast in front of them is easier to bewitch.

If he makes good use of this relationship, he can completely control Lin Fan and the others' behavior through this cat...

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Antonio stretched out his arm to interrupt him. "Don't think we didn't understand! Isn't this just another way of saying we need to get involved in your mess?"

What kind of struggle and rebirth drama is this? Isn't it just a fake cover for seizing power?
Antonio felt that Cen Fangyuan should be brought in at this time—both were capable of being evasive and able to make the most ordinary things sound grand and natural with their words.

"How could that be!" Adrian's face wrinkled as he saw that the young master had not expressed his opinion. "The main thing is to let the young master experience everything. My little matter is just a side thing and not worth mentioning."

"Since it's not worth mentioning, let's just leave it at that." Lin Fan could see right through this powerful businessman's intentions, but he had to admit that he had a keen eye.

Starting with Chitose is indeed the easiest breakthrough point.

Now it's up to Chitose to do whatever he wants.

"Yes, yes," Adrian replied, giving Lin Fan only a glance before quickly bowing before the throne. "If this lord has any other wishes, I, Adrian, will certainly do my best to fulfill them. I guarantee that lord will have a wonderful time on Annie Demon Star..."

"He certainly knows how to bend and stretch." Antonio glanced coldly at Adrian, who was already on all fours, and crossed his arms, giving a cold snort.

"Shamelessness knows no bounds." Lin Fan looked up from his personal terminal at Adrian, who was eloquently describing the exciting future to Qian Sui. "The Finch family is a well-known old noble family in the upper echelons of Anniemo. Even if the nobles of orcs and humans are not necessarily the same, this should not be the case."

Adrian proclaims himself the underground king of the Greystone settlement.

When he first appeared, he was indeed very arrogant, making everyone quite cautious, but now...

“I saw many familiar behavioral characteristics in him that are not found in people from the upper class who live in comfort.” After the apocalypse on Tiandu Star, Lan Bingru had been struggling to survive at the bottom of society and had begun to speculate about Adrian’s identity.

"I found it strange before. Usually, nobles who are high and mighty look down on the common people as if they were ants. When did they start to control even these insignificant and lowly forces?"

This was also what Lin Fan found strange, but she attributed it to the unique ruling method of the Annie Demon Star.

"You mean, he's a fake?" Antonio raised his chin and grinned. "Using his noble status to put on airs and fool people? Well, here, the high-ranking orcs have a strong suppression of the lower classes. The intimidation a noble's status has over low-ranking orcs like those in Graystone Settlement is simply overwhelming."

“His noble status may not be fake,” Lin Fan said, crossing his arms and tapping his fingers lightly on his upper arm. “Judging from his obsession with Finch, there must be some connection, but he has little influence and no real power.”

That's why a nobleman would come to the Graystone settlement and take over the low-end trading market as if he were "starting a business." Even if he proclaimed himself king, it wouldn't change the fact that the preceding modifier was from the lowest level of the Annemo region.

Which family would value someone with a bright future and send them to Ningguta?
“That’s why he had to rely on external forces to help him seize power.” Antonio understood. “Because he himself didn’t have the ability to fight back directly, and he didn’t dare to do it openly, yet he was still unwilling to accept defeat. He could only secretly look for opportunities to turn the tables on insignificant people.”

Given the status of humanity on Annemo, Adrian's idea was actually quite far-fetched, and it already demonstrated his position within his own community.

Adrian knew he couldn't seduce the high-ranking slaves who had already been tamed, so he turned his attention to the newcomers who had just entered the Annie Demon and were still eager to escape.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Lin Fan with several trump cards.

Adrian, unaware that his disguise had been almost completely exposed, flaunted his quick wit and eloquence before Chisui, finally earning a "good" from her. In his mind, as long as Chisui nodded, Lin Fan and the others had no choice but to carry it out.

Indeed, people are just people!
Even if you are not an Annie Demon, you still have to obey the beast's commands.

A cryptic glint flashed in Adrian's eyes, but he quickly turned to Lin Fan and the others with a smile.

"Everyone, look..."

In the plan he explained to Qian Sui, Lin Fan and the other two were to be sold as high-class slaves.

Even though he laid out many things to show that he was fully prepared and would never let Lin Fan and the others suffer any injustice, he also knew that the more capable a person was, the less they could tolerate the slightest injustice.

It's like Antonio before, who clearly had enough ability to protect himself, but was still impatient to break the inhibition cycle.

It wasn't really out of concern for their own safety, but more out of a sense of humiliation at being controlled by others.

Previously, they had already shown their aversion to being sold into the Finch family as slaves.

Now, Adrian is using Chisei as an excuse to probe again, wanting to see just how much Chisei can control the two of them.

Will they obey without question, or will they be unwilling but have no choice but to submit?
Adrian hoped to see something that could be used to create a division within this seemingly powerful group.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Lin Fan and Antonio came to Annie Demon Star with the intention of playing with Qian Sui.

Aside from Lan Bingru's weakness, which might give the two of them some pause, the current situation is not enough to cause them to feel a sense of crisis.

Just like Qian Sui said. If they really push them too far, Xing Chen and Apollo could leave a few fireworks as a gift to Anniemo, blow them to smithereens, and then make their escape.

Worry and fear usually stem from a lack of confidence in one's own strength, a lack of confidence in one's escape route, and a lack of direction for the future.

The two of them? They don't exist!

Not to mention the even more capricious, unpredictable Devouring Beast...

Lin Fan felt that, judging from Qian Sui's demeanor, the one who should be worried was Annie the Demon.

Now, Lan Bingru herself has proposed to face the danger head-on and strive for a breakthrough. Qian Sui has also spoken, saying that he will not disregard the life or death of this clever girl, thus minimizing their worries.

Once the worries were gone, I felt much more relaxed.

Antonio was a troublemaker by nature. When he had nothing to do, he was the most mischievous of them all.

After realizing that Adrian was a fraud who was just pretending to be powerful and couldn't actually beat him, Antonio looked at him like he was a game designer.

They didn't know how to fulfill the emperor's wish, so they were prepared to let him be free and adapt to the situation.

Now that someone has offered suggestions, it's like they've suddenly been given a concrete plan instead of a script. Knowing what they're about to face is a good way to prepare; it's time to put their acting skills to the test.

From this perspective, Adrian deserves a great deal of credit.

Of course, if he acts up again, I wouldn't mind teaching him to behave again!
