Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 545: A Tug of Fate (2)



The Main God would think to protect the information of important subordinates.

This is possible.

But could the Main God anticipate that a subordinate would suddenly acquire an entry?

The duck sneered, a thought crossed his mind.

Immediately, small glowing words appeared:

"You activated 'Fate's Puppet Strings', using it as a double-edged whip of divination and evolution, granting Brody a fate-related negative entry."

Brody's body emitted strands of thread glowing faintly.

These were the threads of fate.

Every intention and action of a person generates threads of fate, guiding them toward their destined path.

All the threads leaped into the air and converged into an entry above Brody's head:

"Judas."

"A follower entrusted by the Main God to manage affairs, held in high regard by the Main God, has weathered many trials in turbulent times, achieving numerous merits, unaffected in judgment by anything, but possesses a peculiar obsession with collecting wealth."

"When you tug at Fate's Puppet Strings, this person's desire for money will be amplified indefinitely, even leading them to act irrationally."

What are you waiting for!

The current situation is perilous and bizarre, and I'm in the dark, lacking basic knowledge of the Destruction Camp.

Use the entry.

Immediately!

Golden threads flashed in the duck's eyes, twisting in a spiral structure, he pulled hard—

Elsewhere.

Demon Nest, Void City.

Shen Ye immediately sensed the situation.

He took out his insignia and connected directly to City Lord Brody, then waited quietly for the call.

In the center of Void City.

At the top of the tallest building.

In a small room.

Brody had already formed a Spell Seal and was preparing to activate the sacrifice, transmitting his intelligence to the Main God—

Beep beep beep beep!

A series of urgent sounds.

The insignia on his chest kept trembling, making noise.

Who?

Didn't I say not to disturb—

Who would interrupt me at such a time?

Courting death.

Brody sneered and simply activated the call request on the insignia.

Shen Ye's voice immediately sounded:

"Esteemed City Lord, I have something to discuss with you."

"Please speak," Brody said.

"To whom do the auction house's previous profits belong?" Shen Ye asked.

"Naturally, to whoever is responsible—rest assured, as the City Lord, I'm absolutely impartial and will not allow anyone to disrupt your auction house."

Brody controlled his speech speed, trying to make his tone gentle and reasonable, even wearing a slight smile.

—Some people, when conversing, can sense the expression of the person on the other end.

Facing this outsider—

Brody believed he had acted flawlessly.

"I have a suggestion."

Shen Ye said.

"Please speak," Brody said.

"Let's split the auction house's profits fifty-fifty," Shen Ye said.

Brody quickly replied, "How could that be, it's clearly your business, how can I—"

"No need to say more, I won't be in Void City often, and City Lord, I need your help to look after it, which will surely require effort."

"You receiving half of the profits is only right," Shen Ye said.

Before Brody could speak, he continued:

"I'll stay here for a month, then leave—I will leave a contract upon departure."

"If I don't return in three years, the auction house will be yours."

Brody's attention was indeed caught, and his tone no longer conveyed that 'sincerity', but instead carried a touch of surprise:

"You want to leave? Where to? Do you need my assistance?"

Shen Ye naturally responded:

"To be honest with you, I'm actually serving the Destruction Primordial Spirit, it requires me to accomplish many tasks, so I won't stay in Void City for long."

Brody nodded slightly.

Yes.

This kid can indeed summon the Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit is the purest and oldest spirit, capable of communicating with the Destruction Tribulation, even having a symbiotic relationship with it.

With the Primordial Spirit, he naturally has his path to follow.

So then.

About the auction house...

A significant portion of Void City's revenues depend on the auction house!

If I can gain a share of the profits, it is certainly something to celebrate, and eventually having complete control would be an ideal situation.

"That's settled then, I'll have the contract drafted and sent to you, City Lord."

"Together we prosper, I'm not one to hoard all the wealth."

"Please, City Lord, take good care of the auction house in the future."

After Shen Ye said this, he voluntarily disconnected the call.

Brody held the insignia, dazed for a moment, then suddenly sneered.

Seeking my protection?

Do you really think that in this world, money can get you anything you want?

"Go, bring that registration officer here, I have questions to personally ask him."

He said to the insignia.

—No need to rush to report to the Main God yet.

Better to clarify things first.

Soon.

The staff from the "Destruction Servant Registration Office" was brought before Brody.

"Esteemed Lord of the City!"

The registration officer trembled all over, kneeling and bowing repeatedly.

Brody extended his hand, pressing it against his forehead, and commanded in a low voice:

"Don't move."

The Technique began.

Everything the registration officer experienced flashed in Brody's mind.

Soon.

He saw the scene of Shen Ye summoning the Primordial Spirit.

"It's real..."

Brody murmured.

"Lord," the registration officer said, terrified.

"Hmm, you did your job well enough, but you shouldn't have accepted money for it; that amounts to helping outsiders exploit the gaps in our Void City," Brody said.

He applied force with his hand.

The registration officer didn't even have time to scream before he was consumed in flames, crackling for a while, and eventually disappearing without a trace.
