Chapter 105: Negotiations and Understanding

Bobby Lane walked with a serene expression, his eyes filled with rage and resentment, yet revealing a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness, or so Lyon believed.

Before he could utter his last words, Lyon forcefully removed the Wild Ambition from his body, completely eliminating the first heir of the Duke of Lionheart. Looking at the fallen Lane Clan members around him, Lyon, already exhausted, sat down and rested his hand on the Black Goat's head.

He thought to himself, "I worked so hard, covered in blood, and this guy reaps all the benefits..."

As he watched the waves of soul fragments flooding into his soul's vision, almost forming a massive gathering, Lyon silently rubbed the Black Goat's forehead.

[Name: War Horn (Fall, Fury, War)]

[Appearance: ...]

[Ability: Devil Horn, Malice Amplification, Endless Blood Battle]

[Cost: Already acknowledged, no cost required for usage]

[File: ...]

[Evaluation: Relying on your meticulous nurturing, you have repaired the shattered authority, turning this anomaly back into a formidable weapon on the battlefield.

If you bring it into a large-scale war, you will temporarily gain immortality and an endless supply of stamina until one side retreats entirely, bringing the war to a complete end.]

[Corruption Value: 8 (2.5)]

[Your Corruption Value has increased]

[Current Corruption Value: 2.5]

Lyon thought, "Although he was once a weakling, absorbing the souls of two hundred evil beings in one go has finally given him the appearance of a powerful demon. But..."

Slapping the Black Goat's back of the head, Lyon interrupted its trance-like state, "Your limit is 8 points. Absorbing more won't make a difference. Don't overdo it!"

The Black Goat, its head snapped back by the slap, glared at Lyon with anger, ready to retort. But seeing Lyon's burning soul flame, it suddenly lost its momentum and chose to argue instead, "We may not be able to get stronger, but we can stockpile! Maybe in the future..."

Lyon glared at it, "Stockpile what? Stop it!"

"This time, with so many deaths, the Bureau might send people to investigate. When they come and see your belly full of soul fragments, I won't be able to explain!" Lyon explained, eyeing the Black Goat.

"What do you mean by 'explain'? It's all because of you..." The Black Goat's face showed disbelief.

Lyon emphasized with a serious expression, "This was all done by Bobby Lane to extract information from me about the Cleanup Bureau. He's insane... I tried to stop him... but I was powerless... In the end, I could only..."

The Black Goat listened to Lyon's "explanation" and couldn't help but retort, "If you did all this, why did he die and not you?"

Lyon patted the Black Goat's head and said matter-of-factly, "Bobby Lane's massacre caused you to absorb a large number of souls, repairing the authority shattered by the Director. This increased your power.

I then used the Holy Spirit Pendant to force my way to his side and suppressed his heart's domination ability with your help, allowing me to kill him with one strike!"

The Black Goat couldn't help but quip, "I don't have the ability to suppress his domination power. This explanation is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"

"Whether you have this ability or not doesn't matter. What matters is that this explanation is coming from you." Lyon, having already prepared an excuse, revealed a smile similar to the red-haired Director's, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Whether it's the horn or the heart, they are part of your body. In terms of understanding your body, no one knows it better than you. So, if you say it's possible, it's possible."

"Then why did only the evil ones die?"

"Because of the internal power struggle within the family, these people threatened Bobby Lane's position. Or because the more evil they are, the harder they are to control, and he wanted to take advantage of that. Or because of your interference and protection, he couldn't control the good people..."

Lyon offered three direct options and reminded the Black Goat seriously, "Don't be so narrow-minded. Now, the narrative is in your mouth. Of course, it's up to you to decide what really happened. But there is one thing that needs to be taken care of..."

Looking at the Heart of Wild Ambition that had been forcibly extracted and temporarily placed on Bobby Lane's corpse, Leon furrowed his brow and asked:

"How is your heart now? After Bobby Lane's soul was consumed, does it still have self-awareness?"

"Probably... still, right?"

Upon hearing Leon's question, the Black Goat responded uncertainly:

"This is my first time being split into seven parts. I'm not really sure what's going on... Why don't you ask it?"

"..."

I should have known better than to ask you.

Leon gave the Black Goat a speechless glance. Relying on the power of I Am the Devil, he reached out and grabbed the Heart of Wild Ambition. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard a proud, deep male voice, which was about sixty percent similar to Bobby Lane's, in his ear.

'Get your dirty hands off me!'

After a slightly angry rebuke, the Heart of Wild Ambition huffed coldly through its soul:

'I heard your conversation. So you came to me to beg me to keep your secret?'

"It's not begging, it's a demand. And you can refuse."

Touching the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest, Leon, who was mentally prepared, said calmly:

"But if you refuse, I will use this to weaken you to the strength of a Horn. Then it will erase your consciousness to prevent you from leaking information to the Cleanup Bureau."

'You dare?!'

Hearing Leon's threat, the Heart of Wild Ambition couldn't help but explode with anger, pounding fiercely as it angrily questioned:

'If it weren't for your interesting slaughter just now, someone like you, a lapdog of the Cleanup Bureau, wouldn't even deserve to speak to me! Especially with your vulgar and weak heart...'

It seems there's no room for negotiation.

Listening to the furious scolding in his ear, Leon couldn't help but shake his head and grasp the Holy Spirit Pendant. Just as he was about to act, the volume in his ear suddenly weakened. The Heart of Wild Ambition, which had been full of indignation, hesitated and said:

'Your heart... well... is not too bad...'

Forcing its way through Leon's defenses, the Heart of Wild Ambition glimpsed the immense ambition that was firmly suppressed at the very bottom, so vast it was unimaginable. It couldn't help but fall silent for a moment, then slightly lowered its stance, speaking in a more amiable tone:

'How about... you let me be your heart, and I'll help you keep the secret from the Cleanup Bureau... How about it?'

"..."

No matter how, the one who benefited the most from this incident was the Black Goat and Leon, who controlled it. Agreeing to the Heart of Wild Ambition's conditions at this time would be like inviting the Cleanup Bureau to investigate, and Leon, of course, could not possibly agree.

"I refuse!"

'You dare to refuse me?'

After finally putting aside its pride and extending an olive branch, only to be rejected without hesitation, the Heart of Wild Ambition couldn't help but explode in anger, roaring fiercely:

'You!... Will you reconsider?'

"..."

"???"

Damn it! I've never been so humiliated in my life! Seeing Leon and the Black Goat's stunned expressions, the Heart of Wild Ambition couldn't help but feel a wave of shame, wishing to retract its offer and silence everyone who heard, to eliminate them all.

But after secretly bypassing Leon's defenses and witnessing the extreme pride and the immense ambition that was even more challenging than ruling a kingdom, the Heart of Wild Ambition couldn't bear to let go of this perfect, unimaginably perfect vessel. It extended its proud offer for the third time:

'Please, let me be your heart! I promise to listen to everything you say!'
