Chapter 1368: Chapter 453: Lord of Envy: Wayne, I finally found you

The Lord of Greed has been very busy lately.

Busy making money from war!

Currently, his clients include but are not limited to the Lord of Gluttony, Wrath, the Lord of Envy, Soskuna, Enguima, and hundreds of devils from Paradise Lost.

Wherever there’s profit to be made, that’s where the Lord of Greed will appear.

What, Enguima is his son?

That’s hilarious. So what if he’s a son, can’t he be a client too? Can’t he earn money from his son?

He’s a grown man, still relying on his parents. How embarrassing!

The newspapers in Hell clearly state that on the God-chosen Continent, children are kicked out by their parents at eighteen to fend for themselves, apply for their college loans.

If an eighteen-year-old child is still spending their family’s money, they’ll feel guilty, be ostracized by classmates, and looked down upon by friends.

If humans strive for self-reliance, devils should not be left behind.

If you’re the child of Greed, don’t ask for money, but doing business is negotiable.

The Lord of Greed is like that; as long as there’s profit, everyone is his client, thus the Lord of Envy and Soskuna came to him.

Envy came looking for Greed, intending to team up against Pride. Pride is just too strong; even the six demon kings can’t take him down individually; teaming up is the only hope for victory.

Greed is famously greedy, there’s no profit without early rise, his shady dealings are the reason, looking for him is equal to being extorted. Envy would rather not team up with him if possible.

However, there’s not much choice nowadays, among the five demon kings apart from Greed, the remaining four are all busy.

Gluttony and Wrath are busy fighting each other, Sloth is busy being lazy, Lust is more intense, busy losing touch with reality, wandering in dreamlike states, how truly immersed in despair.

Envy really has no other choice and can only come to Greed.

Soskuna’s situation is similar; after throwing Wayne into Hell, he immediately sent his consciousness into Hell, knowing he couldn’t beat Wayne, didn’t foolishly go to seek a beating, instead sought tactical guidance from Gluttony.

Wayne isn’t an ordinary person; only with a Great Demon King’s level of attack, only if the Lord of Gluttony personally steps in can Wayne be defeated.

Gluttony is busy fighting Wrath, Soskuna waited for two days and didn’t even see Gluttony, so out of desperation, he came here to try his luck with the infamous Greed.

Greed’s reputation isn’t good, mentioning him prompts devils to curse, angered by the constant price increases, lacking any contractual spirit.

Still, as long as you pay more, everything with Greed is negotiable.

Soskuna arrived first, meeting with Greed before Envy, but the latter was well-versed in the principle of rare goods commanding high prices, and right now, besides him, no one could help Soskuna, hence keeping vague without agreeing.

Although he hadn’t seen Wayne, just hearing the name led him to consider the opponent as a dear friend, close kin, boyhood brothers, making him demand more money to deal with a family brother.

One raises the price, the other tries to lower it, currently still in negotiation.

Upon leaving, he bumped into the next client, the Lord of Envy.

"Soskuna, you can see it, I’m very busy, really very busy."

Greed sporting a look of helplessness worth millions every minute, considering he managed to squeeze some time to meet with Soskuna, he’s already losing out a lot, and Soskuna must compensate for this loss.

Greed finished speaking, found no one paying attention to him, turned his head to find both clients huddled together.

What’s going on?

Greed curiously looked over, Envy’s face full of brutal joy, the grim expression as if witnessing Pride being pressed under the feet of four Archangels.

Greed didn’t get it, nor did Soskuna, blankly staring at the joyous Envy.

"Damn it, say something, repeat that, what’s his name?!"

"Uh, Wayne."

"Hahaha——"

The Lord of Envy laughed loudly, smacking Soskuna’s shoulder repeatedly, tears of blood streamed down, his face showed a mix of three parts joy, five parts comfort, and ninety-two parts of relief.

"Justice might be late, but justice never skips!"

What’s wrong with this guy, got his brain damaged by Pride?

Soskuna wore a puzzled look, vaguely thinking of a possibility, trying to probe: "Great Lord of Envy, do you also know Wayne?"

"Knowing him is an understatement, I dream of him!"

Envy’s face twisted savagely, his dream features two people, Pride and Hexuno, Wayne’s appearances are not frequent, usually appearing teamed with Hexuno.

Wayne has never been Envy’s first target, but that’s unimportant, where Wayne appears, Hexuno isn’t far behind!

Once he catches Hexuno, dragging this pair of love wolves to parade at the Seven Demon Kings’ meeting, displaying them publicly, everyone will know that he, Envy, wasn’t lying, and it’s been Pride leading the narrative all along.

No!

No need to catch Hexuno, as long as he has Wayne, if Hexuno dares to come to Hell to bail him out, the truth can be revealed in Hell.

Thinking this, the Lord of Envy burst into another series of laughter.

His grievances finally cleared, his mind unobstructed, he had waited long for this day!

But first...

Be calm, can’t be blinded by joy at crucial moments.

Envy suppressed the excitement in his heart, stared intently at Soskuna, with a wolf-like gaze, nearly devouring him: "I’ll ask again, his name is Wayne, a mage from the mortal world, right?"

Saying this, he waved his hand, pulled down a curtain of water, and pasted Wayne’s large portrait on it.

"That’s him, I’d recognize him even if he’s turned to ash."

"Good, good, good!"

The Lord of Envy’s eyes turned red, roaring viciously: "Tell me, why is Wayne in Hell, which angel kindly sent him down?"

"No angel, it was me."

Soskuna didn’t mention the relic of the Life Alliance, only said there was enmity with Wayne: "This is how, that’s how... and then he ended up here."
