The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 394: Your Ancestor Has Returned!
Viktor sat alone, casually choosing a spot.
Pricis and Aurelianne had gone elsewhere.
Quite a few things had happened over the past month, and the two young ladies needed some time to relax.
Viktor naturally didn't require their constant companionship.
As for Gwen...
Whether in the past or present, she had never enjoyed such banquets.
So she hadn't come along.
At this moment, many wealthy individuals turned to look in Viktor's direction.
Yet few dared approach him.
This was primarily because Viktor's aura was overwhelmingly powerful.
He constantly exuded a strong 'keep your distance' vibe.
However, a few lords who had previously experienced the auction and the Shulbon incident with Viktor came over to exchange brief greetings.
Viktor merely nodded in response.
After considerable time, someone finally approached Viktor again.
The female auctioneer from before stood near him.
This time, she was alone, without any bodyguards.
Perhaps remembering their previous awkward encounter, she nervously sat down opposite Viktor and carefully began:
"Um... Mr. Viktor."
Viktor looked at her and said coldly:
"Name."
Ah!
The pressure Viktor exerted was so overwhelming that she had forgotten to introduce herself.
This was quite impolite.
How could her professional demeanor falter so dramatically? It was truly inappropriate.
She immediately stood up and responded with proper etiquette:
"Mr. Viktor, my name is Zora Nandena."
"I'm a gold-tier auctioneer from the Casidra Auction."
The auctioneers of the Casidra Auction were divided into three levels: bronze, silver, and gold, the highest rank.
And she held the highest position.
Viktor tapped his fingers on the table and asked flatly:
"What is it?"
"Well, it's like this."
Zora took out a card and handed it to Viktor.
"There are 1.1 billion Geo in this card, which you can withdraw from any bank worldwide."
Viktor lowered his head, examining the card with its golden patterns.
According to the association's regulations, compensation for goods required payment of ten times the value.
That is, for merchandise worth 100 million, they only needed to compensate 1 billion.
Yet now, this card mysteriously contained an extra 100 million.
Viktor didn't take the card but raised his eyebrows and gave Zora a cold look.
"Your association wants to cooperate with me?"
Zora smiled and explained:
"Mr. Viktor, because you saved me at the auction, the additional 100 million is my personal gift to you as a token of gratitude."
100 million as a gift.
Viktor leaned back slightly, showing interest as he remarked:
"Does your association offer such generous benefits?"
Could a gold-tier auctioneer casually give away assets worth 100 million?
The smile on Zora's face remained unchanged as she continued:
"Well, the chairman of the association is my father."
"Then I won't refuse."
Hearing this, Viktor tapped the table lightly.
The gold card placed on the table gradually became translucent before instantly vanishing.
A gift from a wealthy woman should naturally be accepted without hesitation.
Seeing Viktor's magical technique made Zora visibly surprised, her eyes widening slightly.
But she didn't forget her purpose and continued:
"Additionally, if you haven't found suitable craftsmen for the two items you purchased last time, we can locate craftsmen for you free of charge and cover all production costs."
"This is also part of our gesture of gratitude."
Viktor smiled:
"Can the craftsmen you find compare to Ryan Kent?"
Zora blinked.
This name... sounded somewhat familiar.
Ryan Kent.
She suddenly realized that in the city of Miti where dwarves resided, there was said to be a dwarf craftsman with the most exquisite forging skills in the world.
His name was Ryan Kent.
"Well... I believe they naturally can't compare to Master Ryan Kent."
After saying this, she secretly glanced at Viktor.
Only to see a smile of unclear meaning on his face.
Wait a minute...
Master Ryan Kent was also a member of the Mage Council, wasn't he?
She couldn't believe she had forgotten that detail.
Realizing this, Zora couldn't help but blush.
Viktor noticed her embarrassment and said directly:
"Tell me, why is your association so eager to find me? What exactly do you want my help with?"
Hearing this, Zora felt somewhat helpless.
She had been too hasty, and her intentions were transparent.
After a moment's consideration, she had no choice but to get to the point.
Just as she was about to speak, the music around the court suddenly changed.
The originally celebratory tunes became romantic and solemn.
The luxurious orchestra played melodious pieces as colorful petals floated down upon the red carpet.
Every noble either sat down or stood still.
They all ceased their conversations and looked toward the entrance of the court.
There, the King and Queen were entering the palace hand in hand.
However, they remained silent, like wooden puppets, devoid of any emotional expression.
Even though this was supposed to be a joyous wedding celebration.
The oppressive atmosphere of gloom still enveloped the entire garden, making it difficult to breathe.
Zora observed their behavior and whispered in Viktor's ear:
"As you can see, the kingdom's power has already declined significantly. Continuing to cooperate with them would be meaningless."
Although the kingdom's citizens possessed combat abilities, their current decline was impossible to conceal.
Even the commercial district could be destroyed by demi-humans.
King Augustus had lost all trust and could no longer fulfill his proper role in the country.
At this moment, the couple getting married slowly walked to the platform at the front.
Witnessing their vows was Mikaela, the bishop from the Church of the Goddess of Abundance.
Blindfolded, she held a heavy prayer book in her hands.
Facing the King and Queen, she softly recited the ancient vows:
"Do you promise to accompany each other for life?"
"Whether in poverty or wealth, health or illness..."
At this moment, Viktor spotted Grand Duke Balo.
He stood at the side below the platform, witnessing everything with his clouded eyes.
In the entire Kanter Kingdom, there was a serious power vacuum.
The only remaining top guardian was Grand Duke Balo himself.
He alone bore the weight of everything, the burden on his shoulders impossibly heavy.
His figure had become increasingly hunched, his silhouette filled with the marks of time, lacking the vibrant vitality of former days.
Zora turned her head, looking at Viktor with hopeful eyes, and slowly spoke:
"We want to shift our cooperation from the kingdom towards Shulbon."
Despite saying this, the association hadn't completely abandoned the kingdom's market.
They simply wanted to shift their business focus to Shulbon, which offered better security guarantees.
Even if profits decreased, a secure trading environment was more important for the association.
After all, no one wanted to experience the terror from the auction again.
Therefore...
"We also hope that you, Mr. Viktor, would consider our proposal."
Although Shulbon was technically kingdom territory, it was under Viktor's control, and his influence over this land far exceeded that of Augustus.
The Casidra Auction was essentially paying Viktor for protection, seeking shelter in Shulbon.
Viktor withdrew his gaze from Grand Duke Balo and turned back.
As if struck by a thought, he spoke slowly in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"You feel the kingdom is no longer safe, so it's no longer worth continuing your association's cooperation?"
Zora didn't deny this statement, silently nodding in agreement.
After all, the entire Kanter Kingdom now had only Grand Duke Balo as a high-level combat force.
No matter how powerful Grand Duke Balo might be, he was just one person.
Viktor stood up, his voice quiet yet profound:
"Then there's no need for such complications."
After saying this, Zora looked up in confusion at Viktor, who had suddenly risen.
"Mr. Viktor, you..."
Her voice didn't halt Viktor's movements.
Because at this moment, he was already walking towards the platform where the wedding ceremony was being held.
The ceremony had reached the stage of exchanging rings, and a series of crisp footsteps echoed through the venue.
Viktor's figure inevitably became the center of attention.
Even Aurelianne and Pricis, seated elsewhere, turned to look at him.
But the two seemed to already understand something, showing no signs of surprise.
Only the wealthy individuals and noble lords present appeared confused when they saw Viktor.
Viktor?
What was he planning to do?
Mikaela couldn't help but interrupt her blessing and turned to look at the approaching Viktor.
But she only heard Viktor casually say:
"Just continue with your work."
Stunned for a moment, she nodded and then resumed her blessing.
Simultaneously, as Viktor gradually ascended the platform, a mysterious nebula manifested around him.
The nebula swirled dreamlike, appearing deep and mysterious.
Countless silver fragments flashing with cold light appeared above the night sky, sliding down like meteors, leaving long trails of light.
Just like the scene when Viktor had first appeared today.
Countless people silently watched him.
The silver fragments in the sky, like pieces of steel armor, floated in the air one by one along the nebula.
With strands of blue threads, they connected to Viktor's body.
Finally, flowing nebula armor completely enveloped Viktor.
Cold light flashed as the nebula surged.
The coat behind him was brushed by stars, falling gracefully like the Milky Way cascading to earth, incredibly dreamlike.
The Grand Duke, standing to the left, saw Viktor's transformation and narrowed his eyes, as if recognizing something familiar.
As if traversing the stars themselves, Viktor's face disappeared behind a silver-white mask.
He walked steadily step by step towards the throne at the front and sat down calmly.
Seeing this, the nobles in the venue were dumbfounded, their minds instantly blank.
At this moment, a vast voice transmitted from beneath that armor, becoming deep and majestic, carrying a lofty mystery:
"On this day, I shall also bestow upon you a gift."
The next moment, before the nobles could comprehend what was happening...
The massive soul of Saint Gali appeared from the top of the palace, accompanied by layers of nebula.
That flowing starry steel body rose from behind Viktor, its towering figure seemingly touching the dome of the palace.
Three pairs of starry giant hands hovered in the air, holding weapons of different shapes.
In an instant, the nebula rolled like waves, resembling a broad river flowing across the earth, washing over the knees of the nobles present.
The terrifying aura raged like a tidal wave, making the entire solemn steel palace tremble with fear.
The nobles' gazes were fixed on that powerful dark body, with fear and shock evident in their eyes.
They stared at those legs covered by the star sea, standing motionless, utterly lost.
Before that meteor general, they were as insignificant as ants, and even a mere breath seemed capable of tearing them apart.
Terrifying. Majestic. Lofty.
At this moment, these words surged into their hearts like a tide.
Simultaneously, from beneath Viktor's heavy nebula helmet...
A voice not belonging to him resounded:
"Samuel."
"Your king has returned."
