The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"Marlina." Anser just smiled, "Explain it to Xitana."

"...Xi'er." Marina sighed helplessly, "Don't take things so lightly... Even if Lan Zhu hates the slave trade, she is still one of the four leaders of the black market. On the other hand, a person who was a slave three years ago can do this. Do you think she is a fool?"

"Huh? Oh... Well, then I still don't know why the hyenas are looking for her."

"The reason is simple. Because Mr. Hyena, under the stimulation of Mr. Anser..." Marina stared at the burning ambition in Hyena's eyes, "obviously, he has some unrealistic ideas."

She raised her index finger: "The guarantee that it doesn't matter if we take over the black market gives him the greatest confidence."

Then he raised his second finger: "The ability and background to place such a precious gift in front of his door out of thin air adds credibility to Mr. Anser's words."

"And..." The girl raised her third finger, "Now that he seems to be in a weak position, it's the perfect time to turn around and kill him by surprise. Plus..."

Marina glanced at Anser, who was smiling: "In addition, Mr. Anser's 'unintentional' little tip, the hyenas now obviously want to join forces with the colorful spiders... to directly kill the Rat King and the Evil Vulture."

Xitana was stunned. She scratched her head and thought for a long time. Finally, she said in great confusion: "But Lina, you still didn't explain why the hyena dared to find the colorful spider, and how could the colorful spider... agree to form an alliance with him?"

"Among these four leaders, only Colorful Spider does not engage in slave trade. On the other hand...she does not have any favorable impressions towards these three leaders. This is the first point."

On the light screen, Colorful Spider and his men entered the room with expressionless faces, while the lone hyena seemed fearless, with a calm and confident look.

"Colorful Spider has been in the black market for so long and has become a leader. He knows better than anyone that the slave trade cannot be cleared up. This is the second reason."

“And if Mr. Hyena promises at this time…” Marina raised her chin slightly, “to strengthen the management of the slave trade, such as not abducting civilians at will, and only signing contracts to sell those who are desperate, or to improve the treatment of slaves and no longer let them have no human dignity…”

"At the same time, agree to let Lan Zhu supervise and share the profits with her. Do you think, as the black market leader and a businessman, Lan Zhu... will agree?"

"As for the issue of discarding the donkey after it has done its work..." Marina paused, "After all, if the Rat King and the Evil Vulture are eliminated, she is indeed very likely to be dealt with by the Hyenas afterwards. But as the only one without backing, she is not a leader, at most just a force. Whether to take a share of the pie after the big boss becomes dominant and become a younger brother, or continue to seek survival in the cracks, it all depends on the choice of the Colorful Spider and the negotiations between them. Maybe some magic will be used to constrain this transaction... and so on."

The girl was slightly stunned, then she said thoughtfully: "Mr. Anser, what is the relationship between this Miss Colorful Spider and other black market leaders?"

"She has some cooperation with the Rat King," Anser responded gently.

Ansel's words made Marina fall into deep thought, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Hitana stared in amazement at the conversation between the hyena and the spider on the screen. Her ears heard every word of their discussion. Although the words went in circles, in the end... it actually developed as Marina said, just like her previous reproduction of the hyena's ideas, exactly the same!

In order to ensure that the spider would not betray them, the hyena also signed a highly restrictive magic contract in order to ensure the hyena's credibility and safety afterwards.

"Lina... you are amazing!" Xitana admired sincerely, "I can't think of so many things... If I were a hyena, I would probably just rush out and fight them to the death."

Anser couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is not a bad choice."

"Tsk, what's good about that? I don't believe it!"

The young Hydra just chuckled: "Let's see what our Mr. Hyena will do next."

"Well... that's still a long time."

Xitana leaned her head against Anser's shoulder and yawned. "It feels like he's almost done for. How strange... Obviously, this kind of intrigue should take several days to complete. Anser, how did you squeeze all these things into one day?"

"Waiting is just for the right time, and if the time is right, there is no need to wait."

The Rat King and the Evil Vulture are probably popping champagne in their den now. Who could have thought that the hyena, after suffering such a loss, would go crazy and join forces with the Colorful Spider to launch a counterattack?

This is the timing, a very... coincidental timing.

As for the reason for this coincidence, as for what exactly pushed Mr. Hyena to take such a gamble...

That was of course his own choice, otherwise would he still be Anser, sitting here watching the show and doing nothing except saying a few words and delivering a gift?

Time passed slowly. Under Lawrence's live broadcast, Anser and his friends watched the hyenas and spiders sneak into the lair of the evil vulture and the rat king. A fierce battle was about to break out.

Xitana immediately became excited: "Fight, fight, fight! Fight quickly! I've been waiting for this moment. Let's just kill them all. At most, let the colorful spider survive, although it's unlikely... Oh, by the way, Anser, the noise of a fourth-level fight is a bit too much, isn't it? Is it really okay to fight in the imperial capital?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Ansher raised his hand and pointed to the top of the upper city, which was also the highest point in the imperial capital, the palace called Antichege, where a second sun that never went out burned.

"Here, under the suppression of His Majesty, there are only the fifth level and some special beings... For example, you, as my chief, can exert your true strength. The other extraordinary people are passively suppressed and can't make any big noise."

"Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Ming Fuluo to dodge so many assassinations. Some assassinations may not be blocked even with puppets."

Shitana clenched her fists, not feeling suppressed at all.

"It turns out that there are such benefits to having a contract with the leader..."

"If she really wants to suppress you, you at level five and now can do the same." Anser rubbed Xitana's head, "However, when you become stronger, Hydra's essence will be able to support you in confronting His Majesty."

While chatting and laughing, the hyena had already made sufficient preparations and planned to join forces with the colorful spider to directly kill the Rat King and the evil vulture.

Business? Business war? If you want to defeat your opponent, why not just kill him?

Under normal circumstances, he would be brought to the Imperial Court and thrown into jail for doing this, but this is the black market, and behind him is Lord Faust, who promised that he could deal with the other people behind the scenes!

Anyway, whether the hyena believes it or not, if nothing is done, the final result will not be good. It is better to just give it a try.

However, the accident happened again.

The colorful spider, who was also hiding, was actually indifferent. She watched the hyena suddenly rushing towards the evil vulture and the rat king. The contract spell took effect at this moment. She immediately bled from all seven orifices and fell to the ground with a pale face. She immediately lost her combat ability. However, it was obvious that the hyena had no chance of winning against the evil vulture and the rat king alone.

"Ah? No way? This guy was sold again?"

Although she felt a little gloating, Xitana felt unhappy watching it: "The way he died is too funny, Anser, did you do it on purpose?"

"Xi'er..." Marina rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Have you forgotten the gift Mr. Anser gave him?"

“A gift… ah!”

Xitana reacted instantly: "That bottle of water dripping with my blood... what was it? Oh! The water of salvation!"

The Water of Redemption is the top masterpiece of the Holy Church in the supernatural field.

The Xiesheng Church is a church that came from the other side of the Tiantu Mountains as the Donggang route was opened.

It is said that they are the actual rulers of that land. Unlike the empire, there are many small countries there. The Holy Church, as the largest supernatural organization, is above all countries like the empire.

Because they possess a technology that the Empire does not have—the technology to ignore qualifications and forcibly create extraordinary people.

The emperors of all dynasties seemed to believe that such "opponents" were necessary, so they did not prevent the spread of the Church of the Holy Alliance in the empire. However, the emperor's power and majesty that surpassed all gods made it difficult for the people of the empire to feel awe for those metaphysical and ethereal gods. Therefore, even though they had been preaching for hundreds of years, although it cannot be said that the results were very limited, they did not have any particularly great influence among the people.

On the contrary, in the realm of extraordinary people, most of them are coveting the precious item called "Water of Redemption" in the Church of the Holy Alliance.

The water of redemption, which can ignore requirements and qualifications and forcibly elevate the essence, is only circulated within the church and is almost never traded. The water of redemption circulating on the market or in the hands of individuals is basically obtained by killing and robbing.

When the hyena saw the water of salvation, his mind trembled slightly, and his doubts about Faust were thrown out of his mind.

Are you kidding? Who would take out such a precious thing just to kill a small and insignificant character like him in the eyes of a fifth-level player?

The high-level sublimation of extraordinary people depends on the accumulation of elements. In other words, high-level water of redemption containing a large number of elements can not only be used as a rare treasure to directly sublimate mortals into extraordinary people, but also as an opportunity for extraordinary people to ascend to the next level.

Why did the hyena become a leader in the black market? Is it because he likes money? Likes doing business?

——Of course, it was because he also wanted to become the high and mighty fifth-level strongman. The wealth he accumulated in the black market would eventually become resources for his cultivation. The same was true for other black market leaders.

Therefore, this bottle of water of salvation can be used to exchange for other equally valuable resources, but it can also be used as a trump card when one is at the end of one's rope.

"…So, this is the truth, this is the hyena's calculation."

Marina looked at the hyena laughing wildly and drinking the Water of Redemption in the picture, and whispered, "If the Colorful Spider cooperates with him, then it would be the best. He can easily kill the Evil Vulture and the Rat King by teaming up with the Colorful Spider. As for how the Colorful Spider handles it in the end, it all depends on his mood."

"And if Colorful Spider betrays, then the contract signed in advance will directly abolish Colorful Spider. The Evil Vulture and the Rat King, who thought they had once again calculated against Hyena, did not expect that he still had an unreasonable trump card like the Water of Redemption in his hand, making it easy for Hyena to fight two alone, and Colorful Spider will definitely die in the end. The ending will also be that he will sweep away the other three leaders and monopolize the black market."

"No matter what, he has a high chance of winning, plus Mr. Anser's suggestion..."

"I didn't give him any advice." The young Hydra showed a harmless smile, "It's just reasonable suggestions, and suggestions about black market management. These choices, this way of thinking..."

He tapped his temple: "But these are all Mr. Hyena's own ideas. They have nothing to do with me."

"So, so..."

Looking at the hyena that had become stronger after drinking the Water of Redemption and had killed the Evil Vulture and the Rat King in just a few rounds, Xitana said in disbelief, "He's going to win? And he's not in any trouble? Everyone else is finished? Anser, you don't really want this guy to run the black market, do you?"

"You are too anxious, Sitana."

Anser rubbed the girl's head vigorously. He looked at the picture displayed on the light screen with a warm and sunny smile:

"The drop of blood you dripped into the Water of Redemption was refined by me. It contained that terrifying beast element..."

"There won't be another person in this world who can bear it."

*

The hyena exhaled the burning breath from his lungs, and he felt the surging power flowing through his body, and roared to the sky.

The deafening shout pierced the sky and echoed over the black market, making people shudder.

"This is... everything."

He stared at his palm in fascination: "I sold so many human materials, lambs, stolen goods, forbidden potions... everything, all for this."

For the sake of... the extraordinary who reaches the top of all things!

"I'm still too cautious."

The hyena walked towards the spider step by step, coughing up blood. At this moment, the spider was probably not as good as a mortal. The smile on his face became more and more ferocious:

"I should have used this bottle of water of salvation right away... I should have crushed you three losers to death with dignity... Hahahaha, you still want to plot against me? You're a slave pig!"

He kicked Colorful Spider in the abdomen, smashing her ribs into pieces. "What do you think I rely on to survive in the black market for so many years? Is it just relying on that damn vampire, Grand Duke Shenghui?"

The hyena laughed and grabbed the spider's hair, dragging her in front of him, and mocked her in a voice that was becoming increasingly rough and hoarse for some reason: "Maybe it is so in your eyes, but unfortunately... fate... goddess of fate, she is on my side!"

He slammed the spider's head to the ground, then stepped on her face, opened his arms, closed his eyes and exclaimed:

"The death of that vampire, the arrival of Master Faust, his support, his promise... everything is proof that I am destined to become the king of the black market!"

"Look... Colorful Spider, do you see that?"

The hyena's breathing became heavier. He pointed at his own face and laughed:

"From falling to the bottom to ascending to the throne, in just a few hours! I have power and the authority to control the black market... and you are only worthy of being the most insignificant footnote in my great experience, the most ridiculous... loser!"

How could this not be destiny?

If Grand Duke Shenghui had not died, he would have continued to fight with these three guys for several years, and perhaps he would have been replaced by Grand Duke Shenghui and abandoned after being used.

It was precisely because of the death of Grand Duke Shenghui that he was able to turn to the mysterious Lord Faust. Lord Faust not only had the power to persuade other people behind the scenes to monopolize the black market, but also gave him the power to break the deadlock perfectly.

What a perfect experience this is, as if blessed by fate, a miraculous one!

The Water of Redemption brought him within one step of reaching the fifth level. Perhaps within a few years... he would be able to become a true fifth level and leave this damned quagmire of the black market. One day, he might even -

I am so blessed by fate... It is possible that I can be on par with Faust!

“Hehehe…hahahaha…roar…woooo…woooo…”

The hyena's laughter stopped abruptly.

What sound did he just make?

"I, woooo, what, ow! ow! How could it be... owl!"

The man's pupils contracted violently. He raised his shaking hand and found that it had... started to deform! It had transformed into a pair of... dog paws with festering skin and sparse hair?!

After the pleasure of surging power faded, unbearable pain swept through the body, causing the hyena to scream "Awooo". His tall and strong body began to shrink and twist, and his two legs atrophied and degenerated, turning into skinny animal legs with rotten fur at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hyena."

The brisk voice suddenly appeared in the room where two black market bosses had died.

The masked young noble stood in front of Mr. Hyena, whose face had begun to distort and curled up on the ground, tapping the ground lightly with his cane.

"It seems that you have done a good job, but..."

He was quite confused and asked, "You don't look well, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Woo...ah...Faust..."

Curled up on the ground, a strange creature that was neither human nor dog uttered incoherent words: "Help... help..."

"It seems that you have been corrupted by the elements of the Water of Redemption... How unfortunate. Well, I will help you."

Under the extremely ecstatic gaze of the deformed turbid eyes, the young noble placed his staff against the hyena's forehead. Then, the hyena could feel something being rapidly... transformed.

Is he going to turn back into a human? Is he going to get rid of this ugly appearance? Wait...

No, that's not right! It's the power... His power is disappearing! It's turning into something else, something else... Faust!

The hyena began to howl wildly. At this moment, it could hardly speak human language and could only howl madly and miserably.

“Pfft… hehe… hahahahaha—”

The young nobleman who had put away his cane laughed heartily and happily: "You should really see what you look like now, dear Mr. Hyena. You look so embarrassed and ridiculous that it makes people feel happy."

"Let me guess. Are you scolding me? Are you confused? Do you think... I am actually the person behind Colorful Spider? Unfortunately, I am not."

He shook his head and sighed:

"I like Marina very much. Before I knew it, she already knows me so well."
