The villain's way to tame the protagonist

The young Hydra's reputation had actually begun to decline rapidly before that extremely dangerous announcement.

——All the grand dukes and top extraordinary people were killed, but you are the only one alive?

It is undoubtedly difficult to convince people of such a coincidence, and Anser even pretended that he had no intention of convincing you. His reckless state made most of the high-level extraordinary people realize that... the monster has lost its shackles, and it is going to bring down a tyranny and cruelty that is no less than that of the emperor.

And the declaration after the brief battle with Ivora made the extraordinary people reach a unanimous consensus - there is no difference between Hydra and Flame in essence.

Therefore, no matter how diligently the regent worked after he ascended the throne, the nobles and extraordinary people he specifically called were still extremely terrified and did not dare to treat Anser with the normal attitude they would treat their superiors. Even though the gap between the fifth and sixth ranks was insurmountable, for them, what was the difference between Anser, who could wipe out the Grand Duke and all the top extraordinary people, and the sixth rank?

And it turned out that their vigilance was right. His Royal Highness the Regent was in disguise for not long before he couldn't help but make a big move.

"I really want to ask, can the word 'maybe' make you panic to this extent?"

Hydra stood up and asked in confusion, "Just a weakling who was defeated by me, a rat whose provocation was so ridiculous, actually made you, the noble blood and strong men who are clearly at the highest point of the empire, want to kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistakes?"

He left his seat, and Marina, who was standing behind him, handed Ansel his cane just as he was supporting himself with his hands. The two of them coordinated their movements smoothly.

"You have never been so afraid of me..."

Anser's sigh was accompanied by the sound of his cane tapping the ground, and at the same time... there was a second explosion!

The loud explosion echoed in the palace, because what was blown apart was... Xiangyan's throne!

"Now, the throne no longer exists."

Amid the violent waves of ether and the radiating metal, Hydra asked very gently:

"Are you guys feeling better?"

These remarks were naturally harsh and not at all taken from the perspective of the attendees. Hydra was not afraid of the Feast Flame, so how could they not be afraid?

But Anser had never considered anything for them, and everyone sitting here could understand the true meaning of these words.

This is just a simple emphasis.

——I am better than her.

The most powerful and irrefutable truth in the extraordinary world.

And the attendees finally understood what Anser wanted to do by calling them together this time.

The one who now stood before them and ruled the empire was not the eldest princess who had returned from the maze and had some amazing adventure as rumored, but Hydra, who could blow up Antichieg if he wanted to and blow up the Feasting Flame Throne if he wanted to.

Looking at the attendees who were gradually trying to force out smiles, the new demon king, who was unabashedly exuding his brutality, smiled with great satisfaction:

"I think you must be a little uneasy because of those rumors, so I hope you can calm down now and grasp... the present moment."

As he said this, Anser turned his head and looked at the broken throne, and said with emotion: "When I was handling the affairs of Hydra Territory for my father, I was always puzzled by one question - why did the former emperor govern the empire into this state?"

"Obviously more people can benefit, and obviously more people can be satisfied..."

He turned his gaze back to the attendees without mentioning a word about people's livelihood. His eyes, full of sincerity and trust, seemed to be saying that the "more people" he mentioned were just the meat-eaters present.

"Why is she so short-sighted and makes the situation so disastrous?"

"Then I soon understood - because His Majesty the Emperor is a god, and gods don't care, this is excusable."

"but."

The young man paused and smiled a smile that was very familiar to the attendees, but after these words, his smile had some different meanings... It made them feel a little more friendly.

“But I do care.”

He pointed at himself with a smile: "After all, I am not a god, and I don't want to become a pathetic creature destined to end up crazy."

After the atmosphere in the palace gradually relaxed, Anser sat back in his chair and said in a friendly and gentle voice: "So I, like all of you, want to turn the empire into a truly beautiful and great country. Because only in a beautiful and great country can our lives and future have more possibilities, right?"

During the brief silence, someone spoke.

"You are right, Your Highness the Regent."

The speaker was a mature woman with a pretty face. Her name was Lian De Shenlan, the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Shenlan among the three grand dukes of Donggang. She had won a decisive victory in the fight for Grand Duke Shenlan's inheritance and was one of the people with the highest ranking in this meeting.

Miss Lian De was the first to express her firm opinion: "Personally, there is no one more suitable to lead the empire than His Royal Highness the Regent. As for the eldest princess... hehe, now that the Feast Flame no longer exists, she should be called a rebel rather than a princess."

After someone expressed his opinion, the attendees also expressed their firm belief one after another. Regardless of how much water was mixed in their beliefs, one thing is certain... the vast majority of them were persuaded by Anser.

Yes, Hydra already has the power to surpass everything, so why should he go crazy just to become stronger? Moreover, even if he wanted to, could he do it since he already had no hope of becoming an Old Deus?

He is not an Elder God, and will not fall into the emperor's willful madness. He does have a vision and wisdom on political affairs that is beyond everyone's understanding, and he does have such a desire - the existence of the Hydra Territory is the best proof of this, which proves that no matter how much they doubt Anser's motives, they cannot doubt his abilities.

Facing the firm support from Lian De and other attendees, Anser said with a smile: "I respect your choice. After all, legally speaking, I am still just the regent. Since Her Highness Ivora is still here, she certainly has the right to inherit the empire, but..."

The innocent young man who wanted to make the empire a better place put his fingers together and said with a sigh: "If Her Highness Ivora really regains power, what she will do next... It's really hard to guess."

The devil leaned back in his chair, admiring the changing expressions of these "big shots", and said leisurely: "What do you think? The future pillars of the empire, the future new blood, the future..."

"Rulers?"

The irresistible sweet poison invaded the brains and souls of the attendees. Now, no one remained silent, and everyone expressed their unshakable loyalty to His Royal Highness the Regent.

The heirs of the Grand Duke's family, the helmsmen of the supernatural organization, and even the supernatural individuals born after the defeat of Feast Flame, they are the key to Anther's regaining control of the empire and the core of future changes to the empire.

- Strange.

As Marina looked at the attendees who were becoming more and more enthusiastic and no longer silent and dull, a sarcastic smile flashed across her face.

But they are just useful pawns... If he could, Mr. Anser would have killed you all long ago.

There was no mercy in the witch's eyes, only joy and happiness.

Mr. Anser has accomplished another very important thing. They should be much more well-behaved for a while to come and can focus their attention on the North.

According to Mr. Anser's plan...I am also a very important part.

Closing her eyes and feeling the constant connection with Ansel, Marina silently sighed with trembling joy.

The North... The North.

That was Marina's hometown, but it was a place she didn't want to recall.

However, if Anser needed her, she would be happy to go there, whether it was the North or Hell.

"It seems that this time, I can finally reach a real consensus with you all."

Anser clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Then let's not delay any further. Let's talk about some topics that are less complicated and troublesome and can bring real and immediate benefits."

He snapped his fingers, and a vast picture appeared on the conference table.

"This land has the richest mineral deposits in the empire and the most rare natural materials, although it is not suitable for living..."

The diligent Regent Prince looked at his excellent chess pieces and animals, and said in a leisurely tone:

"But it's still part of the Empire, isn't it?"

*

In Hydra Manor, after listening to Xitana's report, Anser nodded and said with great satisfaction: "The results are remarkable, Xier. Keep investigating the Skyfrost Tower. We should be able to find something soon."

"I told you I'm awesome!" Miss Wolf raised her nose proudly. "Anse, Anse, in no more than three days, uh... in no more than a week, I will bring the criminal to you!"

Anser stretched out his hands and rubbed her furry wolf ears vigorously, and said with a smile: "Then I will wait patiently."

"Uh-huh-huh~"

Sitana, shaking her snow-white wolf tail, purred in comfort. After being rubbed for a while, she panted slightly and said, "Anser, come to the point...what happened with Xin?"

"Hmm? What happened to her?"

"She insisted on asking me to atone for my sins, saying that she wanted me to open my soul to her touch. How could I agree to that? But she also said that you agreed to do that. I want to know what you think... Do you want me to let her play with my soul?"

Hitana blinked her eyes. As long as Ansel expressed affirmatively, she would not hesitate at all and would directly give her soul to Xin.

"Didn't I tell you that first she has to get your consent, which means it's up to you whether you agree or not."

Anser still gently stroked Xitana's head: "If you feel that you are indeed a little too irritable, it's okay to ask her to deal with it."

"I don't get angry easily."

Sitana raised her voice in a very classic way, then quickly lowered the volume until there was not much sound left.

After a few seconds of silence, Miss Wolf said indignantly, "Even if I get angry easily, I am just angry. How can this be considered an unforgivable sin? Really."

"Well..." Anser narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who knows, maybe she has her own opinion on the so-called 'sin'."

"Well……"

Xitana rested her head on Anser's thigh and said lazily, "She is indeed very strange, but overall, she is still a very good person and very kind! She is worthy of being a saint."

The devil gently tangled her hair around his fingers: "Did you have a good time with her?"

"Of course I'm happy to be with good people!" Xitana was beaming with joy, her pretty face was less heroic than usual, and more sweet and youthful. "With her help, I can save a lot of time!"

"It looks like Xi'er has made a new friend."

Hearing this, Xitana was happy at first, then worriedly said: "I don't know if she considers me a friend... That guy seems a little stupid in this regard."

Anser smiled and pinched her cheek: "Then try to be good friends with her. Isn't Xier good at this?"

"Ok!"

Full of motivation, Sitana responded to Anser energetically, rubbed his thighs twice, stood up, stretched her body, her eyes full of enthusiasm.

"Then I'll continue to track them down! No need to wait for me for dinner tonight, Anser."

She waved her fist vigorously: "I won't let them destroy Anser's achievements, don't even think about it!"

Having said this, Hitana ran out excitedly to continue her important mission.

At the same time, Xin, who was asked by Anser to come in only after his conversation with Xitana was over, also happened to show up.

"Xi'er likes you very much, Miss Xin."

Anser looked at the mature, beautiful, yet innocent saint in front of him, but he had no intention of being polite. Instead, he asked sarcastically, "Does that kind of deception feel like no burden to you?"

"I didn't lie," Xin said. "I just didn't tell the truth."

The devil looked at her for a few seconds, then couldn't help laughing, but this time there was no irony in his laughter, it just felt...happy.

"What a nostalgic statement." He sighed, and then continued to ask, "Do you think I will allow you to use this deception to gain Xi'er's trust and then use that power?"

"...can't you?"

Xin lowered his head slightly, looking troubled: "Then what should I do?"

And the next second, Ansher gave her an unexpected answer.

"No, I allow it."

"..."

The bewildered Saint Lady raised her head and met those ocean-blue eyes that would intoxicate anyone.

But she wouldn't, because in her opinion, the color of those eyes was never sea blue, but a bottomless black.

She heard the devil with dark eyes say: "You can deceive her, you can try all the methods you think are useful, no matter what method you use to make Xier release her soul, it will be your success."

Xin stared at Anser for a long time, and finally whispered, "Why would Mr. Devil agree to this?"

"Because I know you won't harm her, and I can make you pay a price you absolutely don't want to pay before you harm her. It's that simple."

The unparalleled self-confidence, indifference, viciousness and tyranny came roaring like a hurricane, and in Xin's perception, he constantly declared the truth of Anser's words.

"I understand." Xin nodded, "Then I will try my best."

"Want some advice from me?"

"……what?"

"Xi'er has very few friends. As her strength, vision, and inner self grow, it becomes increasingly difficult for her to genuinely recognize others, and naturally, it becomes even more difficult for her to make friends."

The devil whispered softly, "If you want her to open up to you, why not become one of the few true friends around her...how about that?"

"As for Xi'er, she already considers you as a friend."

Xin was very confused, she didn't know what Mr. Devil was going to do.

Although what Mr. Devil said just now was highly credible, but...what if he was like me, not lying, but just hiding something? What if he was hiding some more important purpose?

...But it doesn't matter. It is very important to achieve the redemption of Miss Wolf. As long as she is not deceived by Mr. Devil and loses the chance to redeem him, it doesn't matter.

"Become... friends."

Miss Saint muttered to herself in confusion: "How can I become friends with Miss Wild Wolf?"

"That's your business. I have no obligation to help you to that extent."

After hearing this, Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Devil is not obligated to make such a suggestion to me. Mr. Devil...what do you want?"
