I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1162 Angel's Soul_1 Chapter 1160: Chapter 1162 Angel's Soul_1 Song Jian stayed at an inn in the East Sea Mirage City for two days before someone delivered the scattered pieces of the Swordsman Immortal suit.

“Another piece of the Swordsman Immortal suit in hand!” Song Jian looked at the belt shining with a brilliant purplish-gold color, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

Glancing at the man standing respectfully to one side, Song Jian put the equipment into his bag and nodded, “Very well, I won't pursue this matter further!”

The man sighed in relief upon hearing this. The East Sea Mirage City usually adopted a tacit approach to settling issues privately. With no complaints from the people, the officials would not investigate. After all, the East Sea Mirage City was essentially a unique entity with a strong commercial atmosphere. Generally, they preferred not to make a big fuss. As long as one abided by the rules of the East Sea Mirage City, its managers were almost an invisible presence.

“Thank you, my lord. I shall return to report,” said the man, who could hardly wait to head back to Flame Manor.

Back at Flame Manor, everyone anxiously awaited him. The man retrieved a Memory Bead from his chest, gently tapped it, and instantly, an image of Song Jian receiving the equipment and agreeing not to pursue the matter further appeared in the air.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Manager Mar's face wore a look of distress, seemingly aged ten years in an instant, his temples turning somewhat white.

This was partly because Mar had forced out half of his Abyssal Demon Bloodline, causing his strength to plummet, and also because of the financial strain from purchasing the Swordsman Immortal equipment.

Luckily, Mar acted quickly, and the matter within Flame Manor hadn't spread too widely. He had managed to procure the equipment for a bit over seven million Purple Crystals. Had he been any later, and the incident had spread throughout the East Sea Mirage City, an auction house would probably have demanded a king's ransom, with a final sale price of at least ten million Purple Crystals.

“Mar, I didn't see it coming; you really can lay your hands on a lot. Over seven million Purple Crystals and you didn't even blink. I'm impressed, truly impressed!” Fox said with a grin plastered across his face.

Everyone knew that even the entirety of Flame Manor might not be able to produce that many Purple Crystals unless they revealed the incident to the Abyssal Demon King behind them. Otherwise, the situation would be quite tricky.

The thought of Mar, a mere manager, amassing a fortune of several million Purple Crystals in just over a decade set Fox's heart ablaze.

“Fox, don't stand there making cold remarks. This affair has drained my coffers, but as for the consequences with our master, you'll be the one to bear them. If the master's blame comes down again, don't blame me for fighting to the bitter end, making both of us look bad!” Mar said fiercely.

“Don't worry, since you've stepped aside for me, naturally, I will take on all subsequent consequences!” Fox said nonchalantly.

Mar snorted coldly, stood up, and walked out of the conference room. He couldn't leave Flame Manor now; once the Abyssal Demon King Dattara Bone pursued the matter, no matter how far he fled, he would be caught and brought back.

By this time, Flame Manor had been fully notified by Fox. The Abyssal Demon King did not care who was in charge of Flame Manor; as long as they could provide him with excellent souls on time, even if everyone in Flame Manor died, he would not feel any pity.

Fox would definitely handle the follow-up matters well and pacify the Abyssal Demon King Dattara Bone; it was a promise he made in front of everyone. If he failed, he would have no face to continue sitting in his position.

Once Fox had pacified the Abyssal Demon King Dattara Bone, Mar would leave Flame Manor as soon as possible. Although losing the protection of Flame Manor meant his future would be very distressing, the mere thought of how he had targeted Fox when he himself was the manager made Mar tremble uncontrollably, not daring to stay in Flame Manor any longer.

Seeing Mar leave the meeting room, a cold smile appeared on Fox's face. The remaining people all looked at him with intense eyes, and Fox knew that if he didn't share some information with them, they would never feel at ease.

“I have just assumed the position of manager; morale is still very important,” Fox thought to himself.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is very serious, but fortunately, it has mostly been resolved. What remains is to appease our master, the great Demon King Dattara Bone,” Fox said calmly.

As long as Song Jian's situation was handled, East Sea Mirage City would not pursue Flame Manor's violation. Flame Manor would then be preserved, but the true master of Flame Manor, the Abyssal Demon King Dattara Bone, was still unaware of this incident. He was waiting for Mar to kill Song Jian and then offer Song Jian's soul to him first.

If he knew that the plan had failed, Dattara Bone would surely be furious, and everyone in the manor would suffer. Although the main brunt of the anger would be borne by Mar, Mar had already stepped down voluntarily, surrendering half of his Demon Bloodline. Thus, the wrath of the Abyssal Demon King Dattara Bone would have to be borne by Fox.

Then, Fox reached into his chest and pulled out a palm-sized crystal ball. Within the crystal ball, an image of a person exuding a golden glow was faintly visible.

The figure seemed to be in a deep slumber, and behind him were a pair of pristine white wings.

“This is, this is an angel's soul!” someone recognized the figure within the crystal ball and cried out in surprise.

“What, the Angel's Soul, my god, how is that possible…”

It was well known that angels and demons were archenemies for tens of millions of years. Even defeated angels would self-destruct their souls rather than let demons capture them.

An intact angel's soul could fetch an extremely high price in Abyssal Hell. At the very least, if the Fallen Angel Clan knew that Fox possessed this Angel's Soul, they would spare no expense to acquire it.

This Angel's Soul, emitting a pale golden light, was surely one of the finest among angelic souls. Using such an Angel's Soul to replace the excellent soul of an ordinary human, the Abyssal Demon King would definitely be very pleased.

Seeing this Angel's Soul, everyone immediately understood what Fox intended to do, and their gazes toward him softened and became respectful.
