Chapter 1876: Chapter 1895: The Butcher Carlos Campbell unexpectedly sat down and immediately set terms, and he was even willing to join the Longevity Empire. Regarding this point, this was beyond Yusuf Zuck’s expectations, so he calmly raised his wine glass and said, “Brother Campbell understands the greater good and is exceedingly generous, but what are the three demands?” He twirled his wine glass, not rushing to drink. Carlos Campbell took a deep breath and said, “First, maintain the domain name of my Elephant Mountain Domain.” “That’s not really a demand, completely no problem, the domain name cannot be changed.” “Second, should the world fall into order and Transient City unify, then ask His Majesty to bestow upon me the Elephant Mountain Domain as a place for the Webb Family to recuperate.” “Granting you a title of a king with a different surname is no problem.” Yusuf Zuck said generously. “I dare not, I dare not, in this world, I, Old Campbell, know my own measure, and dare not speak of kingship.” “And the third point?” Yusuf asked curiously. “The third point is…” Carlos Campbell glanced at his wife beside him and then at his son, saying, “His Majesty promises to help me get rid of the Butcher!” “Oh?” Yusuf raised his brow, the Butcher is the number one expert, and rumored to be the senior fellow of his wife, also rumored to have a relationship with his wife. It seems that the rumors are not unfounded, Carlos Campbell indeed harbors resentment against the Butcher. “Alright, no problem.” Yusuf agreed after a brief consideration, not even asking. “Why doesn’t His Majesty ask me why I want to kill the Butcher?” Carlos Campbell, his wife, and son all looked at Yusuf curiously, because the Longevity King agreed too readily, making them a bit suspicious. “I am not a person who likes to ask this and that, nor do I wish to probe into people’s privacy. Whatever grievance you have with the Butcher is none of my business, as for why I agreed so readily, it is because your value in my eyes far exceeds the Butcher’s many times over. I only consider what is valuable and disregard other matters.” “Agreeing to kill the Butcher is because you will create value for me, but the Butcher won’t. I heard he is a madman, a man who kills without blinking, so he shouldn’t join me, nor disdain this Longevity King. So in the end, I will have to get rid of him anyway, but getting rid of him and gaining your loyal allegiance is a dual benefit, why wouldn’t I do it?” “Straightforward!” Carlos Campbell exclaimed, he didn’t expect the Longevity King to be this kind of person, someone matching his taste. However, just as he finished speaking, his wife, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, “Then what if the Butcher comes to pledge allegiance to you and asks you to kill us instead?” “Wow~” This question hit the nail on the head, everyone turned to look at Yusuf, because if the Butcher did pledge allegiance, his value would be much greater than Carlos Campbell’s, right? However, at this moment, Yusuf just laughed and shook his head saying, “There are smart people and stupid people in this world. Smart people know how to grasp timing and measure, while stupid people do not!” “Brother Campbell’s family is all smart people, at this moment, you pledge allegiance to me, to assist me, this counts as sending charcoal in the snow, whereas if someone waits till the world has fallen to me, then pledging allegiance would just be icing on the cake, and icing on the cake is never as substantial as sending charcoal in the snow!” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✦fire.net “There must be rules and reasoning for first come first served. You are smart people, and that Butcher is a fool, even if he comes now to pledge allegiance to me, he’d still be a step behind you, I would not accept it at all. Besides, the Butcher is just one person, while you have the entire Elephant Mountain Domain, with millions of troops, so I truly do not need any supreme Dao Sovereign, even if he steps into immortality, I wouldn’t desire him!” “A conversation with you is worth ten years of study, truly His Majesty the Longevity King is extraordinary.” Carlos Campbell’s wife looked at Yusuf and then held hands with Carlos Campbell, and accordingly, the family of three… no, it was four because there was a little daughter too, stood up and knelt down! Yusuf didn’t move because he needed to accept this gesture, for he would be their king from now on! “I, Carlos Campbell, like a graceful ice crystal, Carlos Campbell the Second, and Arabella Presley, vow allegiance to the Longevity King, sharing glory and loss, never to betray until immortal life!” The four swore an oath. “Please rise.” Yusuf stood up, helped Carlos Campbell up, and said. “Your Majesty, please take a look.” Carlos Campbell pulled out a scroll and unfurled it before Yusuf. This was a proclamation to the people, just drafted by Elephant Mountain Domain, which contained sentiments of Elephant Mountain Domain pledging allegiance to the Longevity Empire and willingly following and serving it, there was even a line encouraging everyone to quickly pledge allegiance, claiming the Longevity Empire will unify the world. Yusuf took one glance at it and then laughed, saying, “Brother Campbell, Madam, nephews, I’m hungry.” “Ah… hahaha.” The family was made to laugh heartily by the Longevity King, and thus joyously began their meal, meanwhile, the contents of the proclamation were immediately published. Six hours later, Carlos Campbell, along with his wife and some strong subordinates, joined the Longevity military at the border, leaving Carlos Campbell the Second in Elephant Mountain City to manage other matters, after which he would follow the main force. The Elephant Mountain Domain’s proclamation was quickly disseminated, causing a stir throughout the world once more, because it was so rapid; the Longevity Empire had conquered five domains, and indeed had masters as abundant as clouds. Yet everyone was curious why Carlos Campbell so willingly surrendered? At the same time, as the Longevity army continued to move towards the last city, Transient City, chaos erupted there, and numerous forces began to form alliances, exchanging letters, and agreed to discuss major matters in the Timberleaf Pavilion three days hence. Timberleaf Pavilion is the biggest tavern in Transient City, and the Longevity King’s unimpeded advance right to Transient City had already caused them immense crisis, for if Transient City were to be conquered by the Longevity Empire, what would become of these forces? Would they all have to pledge allegiance to the Longevity Empire? Mind you, they are paramount figures ungoverned by the heavens or earth, even heaven wouldn’t dare command them, how then could they seek dependence through others? Thus these forces automatically banded together, planning to study and deploy strategies to resist. Meanwhile in Timberleaf Pavilion, today on its fifth floor, a guest had arrived, whose figure was broad, with large palms, dressed in a loose cyan robe, with long hair simply gathered, and a long knife strapped to the waist. This person appeared somewhat nonchalant, with a touch of unruliness, and this individual was none other than the legendary world’s number one. Of course, he was formerly the world’s number one, now amidst the worldly chaos, with Longevity Realms emerging in numbers, thus his claim to world number one has been rendered obsolete. He was none other than the legendary Butcher. This Butcher had no real surname or name, people only called him by the nickname Butcher, because he truly was a butcher, slaying countless, devouring many. Including today, upon arriving at Timberleaf Pavilion, he threw a bloody sack to the waiter, instructing him to prepare the contents and serve it up. At the time, the waiter merely thought it contained game and eagerly brought the sack into the kitchen, but upon opening it, the chef nearly fainted. Inside the sack were eleven hearts, twenty-two fleshy palms, and two hundred twenty-two pairs of ears, all human. This person wanted to eat humans, causing the kitchen staff to panic, and swiftly called the shopkeeper to inquire what to do. Now, the shopkeeper wasn’t the owner, yet he was worldly enough to discreetly go upstairs for a glance at the guest, promptly commanding the kitchen to hurry and prepare it! He recognized him, the Butcher, the man-eating, murderous Butcher, and thus dared not refuse, if he did, everyone in the shop would be eaten by him!
