Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2739: Chapter 2734: Fated Showdown

So there’s even a destined showdown to watch? This return trip is really worth the ticket price.

One can only say that the twin prides of Shangjing, competing in secret, have already engaged each other directly before even understanding the situation.

”You don’t know this?”

While praising, Fu Qian asserted that a situation like this couldn’t be absent of himself, and immediately interrupted to grandly introduce Tyler.

”Shangjing genius, new talent of the Gulad Family, pureblood vampire.”

The words were clear and resonant, without any hint of mockery—even Chief Yuan would probably ponder, wondering if he was suddenly beginning to behave like a human.

As for why he chose to introduce South’s Tyler, even though introducing North’s Jiang En first would’ve made more sense in sequence?

It’s simple; he might have some relationship with Brother Jiang En, but Tyler Gulad was a crucial business partner who aided greatly right from the start of his entrepreneurship.

Maybe I’m not eloquent in ordinary times, but favoritism at a crucial moment is no problem at all.

”Shangjing genius...”

Unfortunately, everyone is indeed most sensitive to fairness; almost as soon as the words fell, Jiang En’s cold laughter emerged, showing no curiosity as to how Fu Qian knows him.

And that undisguised disdain inverted the usual persona of non-competition in an instant.

”Heh, pureblood vampire...”

Without waiting for Tyler to react, the next emphasis was even more aggressive, directly targeting a keyword that South’s Tyler was proud of but also ashamed of.

”Jiang En... it’s really you.”

And indeed, this move was highly damaging, Tyler recognized his nemesis without needing a name announcement.

”I knew it!”

Having a rich imagination showed its benefits at this moment; without waiting for Jiang En to respond, he seemed to have already figured out too much and uncovered the buried truth.

...

Being young is great; it seems all I need to do is watch the show.

Fu Qian on the broken throne always knew how to give the youth a chance to shine.

And it seems Brother Tyler didn’t disappoint expectations; he instantly broadened the depth of communication, turning the topic from mutual attacks to mutual slander.

”Why can’t it be me? Do you think I’m not qualified to evaluate you?”

Just that in the ”sleepwalking” state, reactions are indeed slower; Jiang En’s train of thought didn’t catch up at first.

”How could it... even if you don’t, the thing behind you does.”

Tyler had already fully entered the state, even though he obviously lacked eyes, but when speaking, he still turned his head to ”look” towards Jiang En.

”The thing behind me? What’s behind me?”

There’s a saying sometimes about a good serve being less important than a good reception; such ambiguous statements shocked Jiang En, making his voice faintly reveal guilty conscience.

”Still don’t admit it? Your performance is really good.”

And Tyler’s momentum was still ascending.

”Just like you pretended it was the first time you saw that emblem back then.”

...

Indeed, powerful brain-boosting.

Additionally, no wonder everyone loves watching the octagonal cage; this one-on-one melee may not be as element-rich as the previous blood wedding, but is equally thrilling.

For Tyler’s ”it’s really you,” Fu Qian indicates roughly understanding the meaning.

”The first time I saw that emblem,” clearly refers to the Abandonment King’s emblem.

As for when it was mentioned? By chance, it seems I also know—even the entire incident was entirely orchestrated by myself.

Trapped in the Nightmare Corridor at that time, I had once asked Brother Tyler to probe Jiang En, then through Jiang En spread the emblem and the esteemed name of the Abandonment King to all Greedy Worms.

As for Tyler’s motivation, of course, it was about discovering the truth behind the corpse collection event.

Through insights in dreams, speculating the mastermind behind the corpse collection event was related to Jiang En, thereby using that method to probe.

At the same time, I assigned Miss Wen the task of utilizing emotion-influencing abilities to pressure Jiang En to deny furiously, until the emblem was displayed before the Greedy Worms.

It clearly fits Tyler’s earlier description perfectly.

And although the ensuing development should have temporarily squelched Tyler’s and the Gulad Family’s suspicions about Jiang En, the charm of nemesis is precisely this: anything desirable still makes you think of the opponent first.

Recently, after repeated defeats, Tyler’s confidence has been severely shaken, but encountering Jiang En here has clearly rekindled previous suspicions.

That means the latter has always had ties to the Grand Fate Ming Emperor and the Abandonment King.

As for why?

It’s simple, speculation is Jiang En came here by testing the Abandonment King’s call because of his own curse, so why did Tyler come?

Earlier, this question was raised, but observing now, it’s no longer hard to imagine.

With this tense state and craving for truth, one can see Tyler is under significant pressure and in bad mood.

Though strictly ordered not to sleep, rebellious behavior kicks in sometimes, muttering the Abandonment King trying his luck—this is evidently what the child could do.

Then carrying such a pure intent, this will unexpectedly encountered the nemesis inside; how could it not instantly comprehend, realizing it was fooled by this guy earlier?

The logic within surely isn’t smooth, but clearly in dreams, emotions matter more.

...

”What emblem? Back then, it was the first time I’ve seen it.”

As for his nemesis, evidently already understood Tyler’s intention.

The specific demonstration was denying in the previous sentence, only to know perfectly well what moment the opponent refers to afterward.

Such contradiction originates from the trouble of this special state, letting deep-seated scheming evaporate completely.

As for earlier, why did hearing ”the thing behind you” ring with guilt?

Not surprising, Jiang En is also suspicious the curse upon him might be caused by some Superior Being.

Once ”unmasked,” although it’s a chicken talking to a duck, it doesn’t hinder the intense mental shock.

In summary, the nemesis is a nemesis, mutual pursuit isn’t fake.

”Heh... back then I was surprised you denied too firmly; normally, given our relationship, whatever the circumstance, your reaction should be more ambiguous.”

And although not focusing on the minor details in Jiang En’s words, Tyler’s momentum continued ascending, revisiting the doubt from back then.

Not wrong— even Miss Wen discussed this with me.

To this, Fu Qian only nods.

After discerning Tyler’s intent, Jiang En originally intended to play the riddler, teasing his nemesis, but unfortunately, under the influence of the evil Psychic Series, chose strong denial instead.

Mm...

Ultimately, when Tyler spoke, Jiang En unexpectedly fell into brief silence; evidently, he’s not skilled in disguise now.

And given the curse upon him, since he’s suspicious of the Abandonment King, he clearly recalls his own anomaly from the past.
