Chapter 1478 Obvious Disdain

"Why look at me like that?" Vallejo raised an eyebrow at Antonio.

"In your human history, isn't survival of the fittest the norm? Why criticize us? What right do those incapable, weak individuals who cannot provide value to the collective have to enjoy the civilization we have worked so hard to build?"

"Do they waste air while they're alive and waste land when they're dead?" Valerius scoffed. "No, their only value in life is to be the foundation of the strong and to maintain the basic operation of the planet."

"We can only be thankful that they still retain some value, allowing the species of Anemor to maintain their diversity. To be honest, we occasionally find one or two good seedlings of mutated creatures in the garbage, and we will promote and cultivate them in time. But most of the time, it really is a garbage dump."

"You son of a bitch..." Antonio cursed angrily.

"Don't be impulsive!" Lin Fan grabbed his shoulder, his eyes icy cold. "Listen to what other shocking theories this noble duke has to offer."

A hint of admiration flashed in Vallejo's eyes.

"See, I told you there are always reasonable people. That's right, this is reality. People without ability don't even deserve to be human, let alone beastmen. We're just going along with the natural selection process."

He raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on the thousand-year-old above him, his tone becoming fervent.

"So, Lord Burning Beast, do you understand now? Only in our Crystal City, surrounded by our elites and resources, and supported by the combined power of one star of the Annie Demon, will your powerful abilities be truly valued and respected. Ordinary people..." He glanced at Lin Fan and the others below, "...won't work."

Qian Sui narrowed his eyes, but then heard Lin Fan below suddenly respond.

"it is good."

"What?" Valery, who had been staring at the thousand-year-old, was caught off guard and didn't react. He looked down and asked with a slightly bewildered expression.

“I said okay.” Lin Fan said seriously, “Didn’t you say you wanted us to stay in Crystal City for a few days to experience the truly prosperous life of your Annie Demons? We agreed. When are we leaving? Where are we staying? Let’s make it clear first, bad treatment won’t do, or our Burning Beast Lord will be angry.”

Vallejo was caught off guard by this turn of events and stood there stunned for two or three seconds.

Seeing that the emperor did not object, he quickly smiled and said, "Of course, of course. If you don't mind, why don't you come to my house..."

"dislike!"

Qian Sui, Lin Fan, and Antonio said in unison.

Valerius wanted to be angry, but dared not, so he could only smile obsequiously and say, "In Crystal City, there are really not many families with better conditions than mine."

“Then there is one.” Antonio’s eyes lit up. “What about the Finch family? I heard they’re very rich.”

Valerius paused, then, after being whispered a few words in the ear behind him, laughed and said, "His family is indeed no worse off than mine, but they just had a recent death..."

"It's him," Chisui declared decisively with a single paw strike. Valery, who was trying to curry favor, had no way to object.

"Where's Adrian?" He turned his back to his men, his face dark with rage. "Where is he?"

If it hadn't been so sudden, Valerius would have even suspected that Adrian had conspired with these men to cause trouble.

But that's unlikely. Adrian is, after all, a citizen of Crystal City. If Crystal City falls into chaos, it won't benefit him at all.

His usurpation of power was surprising, but not entirely unreasonable. After all, who wouldn't want to grab the benefits at their fingertips?
But to say that he wants to shake up Crystal City, or even Annie Demon... seems unlikely.

But his sudden move to take down Finch... we have to be wary...

"Your Grace, he didn't come up." Someone reported from behind, "He said he has a lot of things to take care of at home and doesn't want to cause any trouble."

"I think he knows it's going to be troublesome," Valerius said through gritted teeth. "That kid's probably not after those few people at the auction, but that Burning Beast. Ha, quite ambitious, isn't he afraid he can't handle it?"

"So what do we do now? Do we really have to send the Burning Beast to his house?"

"What else can we do? Go and tell him to prepare."

"But isn't his family still in mourning? Although the funeral hasn't been held publicly, the patriarch's body is still at home. Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"Even if the old patriarch dies, or even if Adrian dies, we must still satisfy the Burning Beast's demands," Valerius ordered with a grim face. "Go quickly. The Burning Beast seems to have a good impression of that kid. If we don't let him lose points with us, things will get even worse."

Some went, and others asked, "What if Adrian tries to use this opportunity to challenge the Lord's authority?"

Everyone could see that neither the beasts above nor the people below had a good impression of Valerius.

This was not good news for Valerius, who was in power.

"Shut up!" Valerius snapped angrily. "I know what I'm doing!"

It was already unpleasant, and they had to bring it up again. Some people are just incredibly stupid!

Vallejo turned his face around, and it was smiling again.

"Arrangements have already been made. However, distinguished guests..." He looked hesitantly at the enormous water sphere, "While the fate of the deceased divine beast may have been unpleasant for you, bringing it down the mountain... Putting aside the issue of convenience, it would indeed cause an emotional breakdown among the uninformed public. The Burning Beast is the spiritual faith of all Annie Beastmen; if they see this, it will cause serious problems."

“Yes, yes, yes…” A group of orc nobles behind them nodded in agreement.

"So what do you suggest we do?" Lin Fan asked. "We've already broken the container..."

"It's alright, it's alright," Valerius waved his hand with a smile, "We have replacements..."

"Don't even think about it!" Qian Sui shouted angrily.

“But…” Valerius hesitated and asked Lin Fan. “It must be hard for you, sir, to keep the liquid from dissipating, and you also have to consider the residents of Crystal City. How can you go to Finch’s house like this? Why don’t you go to my house instead? My house is closer.”

Lin Fan looked up; this matter still needed to be decided by the Emperor.

Chisui glanced at Lan Bingru, who was constantly casting healing spells but whose face was completely obscured by the water sphere, then looked at the black collars around Lin Fan and Antonio's necks, her mouth agape.

No one knew how it did it, but everyone just saw a blur before their eyes, and the huge water sphere and the tattered Burning Realm Beast, including Lan Bingru, all disappeared.

The orcs were shocked and rushed forward, but were blocked by the barrier.

“It…” Vallejo’s expression changed drastically.

"I'll take it with me." Qian Sui landed lightly, wagging its tail slowly as it walked forward.

“You…you have spatial abilities!” Vallejo’s expression was strange.

The Burning Beast was more powerful than he had imagined, and he was far more frightened than pleased.

It's not actually a spatial ability, but rather the Devouring Beast's ability to devour.

Lin Fan roughly knew that there was a world within the Thousand-Year-Old's mouth. It would be safer for Lan Bingru to be swallowed by it than to stay outside with them and these shameless hypocrites.

But she couldn't explain. Just like Chitose, she followed behind with an arrogant air.

The barrier that had been blocking the orcs had disappeared at some point.

Wherever the Thousand-Year-Old went, the beastmen automatically made way. A little cat made an entrance that was even more impressive than Valerius's entrance.

Vallejo lost the initiative and had no choice but to quickly follow suit, forcing a smile and trying to establish a good relationship in a short time.

The people in the temple had all left, and the light dimmed.

After a long while, a rustling sound suddenly came from the silent space.

In the sunlight streaming through a corner of the cut-open palace, long rabbit ears flashed by.

Bonnie carefully walked to where the watermarks were gathered, and lay down in the water to sniff and search carefully.

"Blackwater, blackwater..."
