Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2298

2298 Evil Source’s Visit!
Return to Ruins’ words made Lin Yuan decide to take him in.

If Return to Ruins knew Prayer Glow, he would have to shoulder the consequences.

Regardless of whether White Speak wanted to pursue the matter, White Speak was willing to die for Lin Yuan. There was no way that Lin Yuan could leave the matter alone!

While Return to Ruins was speaking, Lin Yuan took out a ball of five-colored light.

“This is Prayer Glow’s source totem. You should be glad you didn’t leave your brand on Prayer Glow. Go, you will stay with White Speak from now on and listen to its instructions. You will receive a wage of big and small source fruits monthly.”

Lin Yuan offered the big and small source fruits because he was well aware that Return to Ruins had a reason for becoming loyal to him.

Lin Yuan was never stingy when it came to his subordinates. However, the prerequisite was that they had to work well and prove their value.

Everything, East Glow, and Return to Ruins were all foundational stones that Lin Yuan needed to secure his position in the marsh world.

Return to Ruins was both afraid and excited when he heard what Lin Yuan said, and he cursed Prayer Glow repeatedly to himself.

He did not even know if he had truly taught Prayer Glow in the past or if Prayer Glow had used his name and gone around lying!
Pregnant Poison was beside herself with anxiousness.

She had expressed her loyalty to Lin Yuan first. So why did Lin Yuan address Return to Ruins first while ignoring her?

Was Lin Yuan planning on rejecting her? If that happened, she would be done for!

Just as Pregnant Poison was so panicked that she almost crumpled in her kneeling stance, she saw Lin Yuan turn his eyes onto her.

When she looked into his clear and deep eyes, Pregnant Poison felt as though she was drowning.

Lin Yuan looked at Pregnant Poison with amusement. “Does Evil Source know that you’re here?”

Her actions had defied Lin Yuan’s understanding of the structure of the marsh world.

It was definitely a smart choice on Pregnant Poison’s part to seek him out immediately after the fight ended. It was a decision made out of self-preservation.

However, this was also a signal to Lin Yuan that Pregnant Poison did not have a loyal bone in her body. If she could find it in herself to betray Evil Source, she could betray him as well.

There was no way he could rely on someone like this. She could not even be depended on as a weapon.

But ever since gaining higher status, Lin Yuan understood that no one was useless. What mattered was how that person was used.

Pregnant Poison’s attempts to curry favor informed Lin Yuan that as long as he remained sufficiently powerful, she would be willing to do anything he asked.

She could take over the tasks that needed a Dictator’s power to be done but that the other Dictators were unwilling to do.

Lin Yuan was not even thinking about whether she would secretly cause trouble because, as things stood, he was the only one who could take her in.

If he did not accept her and Evil Source found out about what she had done, there was no way she would allow Pregnant Poison to continue living.

Now that there were no longer any roads for her to escape into, Pregnant Poison could only do her best to prove her worth.

When she heard Lin Yuan’s question, Pregnant Poison replied fearfully, “Dictator Evil Source doesn’t know I came to see you. I hope you’ll accept my loyalty! I’m willing to do anything!”

Lin Yuan did not give her any respite and said with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid that Evil Source will come to me asking for you? You are still her follower. I’m sure you know better than me what will happen when she learns that you’re trying to jump ship!”

The amusement in Lin Yuan’s voice made Pregnant Poison aware that her life was not worth anything to him. She was no different from a toy to him.

After this feeling appeared, Pregnant Poison’s already shaky sense of security diminished further.

At that moment, Green Vine said softly, “Evil Source is already outside the door and is asking to meet with you. Are you willing to see her?”

Lin Yuan had already expected that Evil Source would come to see him immediately after the fight.

Although Evil Source had a perverse personality and never acted according to logic, she still knew where the lines were. Otherwise, she would not have easily handed over the Endless Gem and book.

If Evil Source wanted to retain her position amongst the seven figures, the most important thing she needed to do was to keep from making an enemy out of Lin Yuan and make him an ally instead.

Since she had lost the treasured book, the balance between the seven figures had been broken.

Furthermore, the other six figures knew that he had fought with her.

In order to build ties with him, there was no way they would make life easy for Evil Source.

As long as Evil Source was intelligent, she would know that the best way out would be to become allies with Lin Yuan.

Evil Source had come quickly enough. If she had brought Mite Thread’s source totem with her, Lin Yuan would be willing to give her a chance.

It went without saying that she would have to offer a suitable price first.

Green Vine’s words caused Pregnant Poison to start trembling.

Pregnant Poison would be reduced to a puddle of mangled flesh if Evil Source saw her kneeling there and lost her temper.

Pregnant Poison prayed that Lin Yuan would not allow Evil Source to enter.

But what Lin Yuan said burned up Pregnant Poison’s last line of defense in her heart.

“Return to Ruins, go and bring Evil Source in.”

Lin Yuan had not accepted Pregnant Poison yet because he wanted to wait and see how much more terrified and pressured Pregnant Poison would feel once Evil Source arrived. This was the only way she would work for him dutifully in the future.

Furthermore, Pregnant Poison was also Lin Yuan’s test for Evil Source. He would only be willing to give her a chance if she managed to stomach Pregnant Poison’s betrayal.

If Evil Source could not control her emotions and went mad, there was no way that Lin Yuan would associate with her in any way.

If Evil Source could not control her emotions, she would eventually become a danger. Lin Yuan would have to find a way to work with the other Samsara Realm Dictators to eliminate her.

As long as he was sufficiently sincere, there was no way that the other six figures would turn him down.

Now that he possessed the Green Field Secret Treasure, Volume 4, Sky High, he had a perfectly legitimate reason to take Evil Source’s place, and no one would be affected by the change.

When Lin YUan saw how Carnage Source, Mountain Ridge Source, and Hornless Dragon Source treated Evil Source, he knew she was not famed for her interpersonal skills.

Lin Yuan did not want to make a big deal out of this. All he wanted to do was quietly run up a fortune in the marsh world.

He could only hope that Evil Source did not charge toward death herself.
