Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2632

Felix knelt on the ground and wiped away his tears as he said, "Sir, I can retrieve the Dark Mask from Edmund for you if you're willing to spare Wilbur. You could replace him and become the new ruler with the Dark Mask."

The reason why Edmund was able to become the ruler of Buck Town was none other than his own capabilities. Edmund was also someone who cultivated dark energy and was in possession of a treasured artifact, the Dark Mask.

The Dark Mask was a product of Edmund's dark energy cultivation. It contained eight thousand years of Edmund's cultivation. Whoever wore the Dark Mask would gain the power of eight thousand years' worth of cultivation. Therefore, the Dark Mask was highly coveted by many cultivators.

Several millennia ago, the Eight Great Families feared Edmund because they dreaded provoking him and potentially inciting a battle that could lead to their massacre. However, the Eight Great Families had since grown stronger and established their influence.

The Eight Great Families no longer feared Edmund, in fact, the heads of the four main families had the power to defeat Edmund, and perhaps even kill him.

However, the rulers of the Nine Major Towns in the middle dimension had a pact. Killing one ruler would inevitably result in a combined attack from the other rulers. The alliance was the key to maintaining order among the Nine Major Towns.

Only when a town of slaughter transformed into a town of justice, or vice versa, would a town lose its defining characteristic and cause a feud. That was the moment when one could kill the ruler and appoint a new ruler without suffering the consequences.

Of course, there was another alternative. One could send a highly skilled cultivator who would not mind being sacrificed to assassinate the ruler. The assassin would likely be killed, but the ruler would be dead, leading to the appointment of a new ruler.

Felix knew how ambitious Babbit was, which was why he dared to suggest the idea. He hoped to get Babbit's approval. Babbit smiled when he heard that and asked, "Felix, why don't you kill Edmund instead since you're so powerful? I'll be appointed as the ruler, and I'll reward you generously in the future."
