Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 315
Advertisement
After Vincent showed up, the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed.
The one who was most affected by Vincent's presence was the widely-criticized Adolphus!
Whether it was modifying the authority scroll, the shadow demon, or Bard's necklace, Vincent was the one who had the most information. Therefore, the person he suspected the most was naturally Vincent!
However, Adolphus would not dare to mention his private deal with Vincent in front of the Ultimate Evil Lord despite being in a desperate situation. Therefore, he could only glare at Vincent angrily and ask him what exactly he was up to in the dark.
Justin, who had been watching the show from the side, thought that he had all the information. He also thought that he understood the relationship between Vincent and Adolphus. He just sneered at the side.
As long as Adolphus gave himself away in front of the evil lord, this would mean that all the liability would fall on him alone. When the capital of Ultimate Evil was peaceful again, no one would notice that Justin was the biggest beneficiary!
Manfred, who was not involved, noticed the way Adolphus looked at Vincent. He immediately had a guess and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The most suspicious of all was the Ultimate Evil Lord. He looked at Vincent, who had come alone, and could not help but ask, "Where's Irene? Today is such an important occasion, why didn't she come?"
Vincent smiled slightly and said, "I want to ask for leave on behalf of Irene. Currently, the capital is riddled with holes. She is busy leading creatures to deal with the chaos on the streets, so she has no time to attend the meeting!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord was not in the mood to check for Irene's whereabouts. He just nodded and said, "You said that you have been investigating. Did you find anything?"
Vincent turned to look at Adolphus. The two of them looked at each other meaningfully.
The glance they shared was interpreted differently by everyone there. Adolphus could see the shock in Vincent's eyes as if he was trying to explain that the whole matter had nothing to do with him.

Marcus and the others felt that Vincent was taking the opportunity to take revenge on Adolphus.
As for Manfred from the Star Race, he could sense that the two of them might have some sort of cooperative relationship from their gazes!
Only in the eyes of the Ultimate Evil Lord could he sense that Vincent was trying to hint something to him!
Just as everyone had their own guesses in their hearts, Vincent suddenly opened his mouth and said, "So far, all the modification authority scrolls that have appeared in the city are fake. No one can prove that there is a real modification authority scroll among them. And the creatures selling the scrolls are almost all shadow demons with the strength of a level 30 creature. Right now, the shadow demon should still be roaming in the streets of the capital. As long as we catch him, everything behind the scrolls will be revealed!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord nodded repeatedly. The information that Vincent had gathered was basically the same as what Marcus and the others had said. Furthermore, Vincent had also proposed a more effective suggestion, which was to find the creature who sold the scrolls. This way, he would definitely be able to find out who the mastermind is!
When Adolphus heard what Vincent had said, he thought that Vincent was blaming him for leaking the information. Therefore, Vincent had no choice but to expose his disciple and share the pressure with him.
So far, Adolphus still felt that Vincent had his heart set on him, so he had to take advantage of the opportunity that Vincent had created for him and try to clear his name.
This was not because Adolphus trusted Vincent, but because there were many deals and interests between him and Vincent. If he betrayed Vincent, he would also die.
Therefore, if there was still hope, he would definitely grit his teeth and hide the secrets between them.
What Vincent wanted was to let Adolphus think that he still had hope, so that he would not fight to the death with him. This was also the reason why he had to attend the banquet. At the same time, he had to use his performance at the scene to confuse the other races!

The Ultimate Evil Lord suddenly waved his hand and said to Vincent, "I understand everything. You go to the side first. I will handle the rest!"
Vincent turned around obediently and walked to Manfred's side. He nodded to Justin politely. Justin also returned Vincent's greeting with a smile.
After seeing the interaction between the two of them, the corners of Manfred's mouth could not help but curl up. However, he did not say anything. The three of them just stood aside and watched the Ultimate Evil Lord handle Adolphus's matter.
The Ultimate Evil Lord's gaze swept back and forth between Adolphus, Marcus, and Kaeger. Finally, he said, "Since you all have your own opinions, of course, it's hard for me to judge. So, if you want to prove to me that you're telling the truth, you have to drag out that shadow demon for me. When the time comes, as long as there are witnesses, I will naturally reward those who tell the truth, and those who lie will be punished. Do you understand?"
Adolphus took the lead and said, "I understand! I will lead the collective Evil Spirit Race to find that shadow demon. I must prove the Evil Spirit Race's innocence!"
Marcus and Kaeger quickly said, "Evil Lord, we must not let the Evil Spirit Race participate in this matter. Otherwise, they will definitely protect the Shadow Demon Race!"
When the evil lord heard this, he immediately hesitated. He could not help but turn his head to look at Vincent.
Vincent asked in a low voice, "Ahem! Evil Lord, can we talk in private?"
The Ultimate Evil Lord nodded and led Vincent into the changing room.
"Tell me, should we let the Evil Spirit Race participate in the matter?"
The Ultimate Evil Lord was not worried that the wall had ears. He just asked Vincent directly.
Vincent answered softly, "According to my investigation, the Evil Spirit Race is indeed very suspicious, so we must let them participate in the search for the shadow demons today!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord looked at Vincent and asked curiously, "Oh, why?"
Vincent smiled slightly and replied, "I believe that the more important thing here is to find out whether they have the power to modify authority. This is definitely more important than finding out the mastermind behind all of this. If they do have the power, then the question would be whether they had cultivated the ability to modify authority. I think that Marcus and Kaeger are very dissatisfied with the Evil Spirit Race, so we can take advantage of the current chaotic situation to let them go out and use their own methods. If we can force Adolphus to use the power to modify authority, then everything will be revealed! Moreover, we can also find out if he has the whereabouts of the other scrolls!"
After hearing this, the Ultimate Evil Lord was filled with joy as he said, "Well said! Your foresight is focused on the long-term. You indeed have the demeanor of a general! To be honest, this power of authority is indeed a problem in my heart. I originally wanted to find a way to cultivate the flame authority from you in the future, but now that the modification authority has come to us, how can I miss it? So, I'll use this to lure the snake out of its hole!"
Vincent lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "You're really wise!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord smiled and patted Vincent's shoulder. He then walked out of the changing room with satisfaction. He said to Adolphus and the other two, "The three of you are all great contributors to my Ultimate Evil capital. Even if the suspicion involves some of you, I have to give you a chance to prove your innocence. So, go and catch that shadow demon together. Use whatever means you want. I only want the result!"

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.
