139: Colin the Bastard

Chapter 139: The Illegitimate Son Colin

"Master, this kid isn't lying."

One of Kun's Three Sins is Lies, which means Kun can easily detect lies.

It can be said that Demons with this Sin are natural lie detectors.

However, certain advanced exorcism methods can deceive Kun, but Colin is not an exorcist, so he clearly cannot lie.

At this moment, hearing Kun's telepathic message, Dick was somewhat shocked, but more so suspicious.

He had thought that the Championship staff might abuse their power, but he never expected that the person in charge of the entire Championship would lead the way in breaking the rules.

Even if he holds a high position, once exposed, he won't be able to escape death. For Fama to have reached such a height, he couldn't possibly be a fool, right?

Unless... there's some huge benefit in this Underground City Championship, so great that it would make Fama take such a risk!

Looking at the somewhat nervous Colin, Dick narrowed his eyes, planning to probe further.

"Chairman Farman has a pair of children, but they are both less than ten years old. How could a son almost thirty years old suddenly appear?"

Hearing this, a hint of gloom flashed in Colin's eyes, and he sighed softly, "I... am my father's illegitimate son. Due to his reputation, he naturally hasn't publicly revealed my existence."

From Colin's eyes, Dick seemed to see a melodramatic ethical drama.

But Colin's tragic story wasn't the main point. The main point was the reason he was here. Why did Fama send his illegitimate son to participate in the Championship?

Win the Championship?

To be honest, Dick didn't think Colin's Swordsman team had any possibility of winning the Championship.

Getting into the top hundred was more than enough, getting into the top ten was extremely difficult, and as for winning first place, that was simply impossible.

Even if, taking a step back, Colin managed to win the Youth Group Championship with his father's help, what good would that do?

As the Chairman of the Toya Empire's Royal Capital, Fama had been famous in the Northern part of the continent for a long time. He lacked neither money nor fame, lacking almost nothing.

Not to mention, he hadn't publicly announced that Colin was his illegitimate son. Therefore, Colin winning the Championship would bring him almost no benefit.

"Tell me, why would Chairman Farman risk ruining his reputation to send you to participate in the Championship?"

Hearing Dick's question, Colin immediately became extremely excited, his eyes shining.

"Father said that to make up for his neglect of me over the years, he plans to let me win the Championship and become a world-renowned adventurer..."

In Colin's words, Fama was a good father who thought of his son. His fatherly love was like a mountain; he would risk everything to fulfill his son's dream.

"I definitely won't let Father down. The Youth Group Championship this year is already in my pocket. As long as you follow me, you can easily get into the top ten!"

Looking at the arrogant-faced Colin, Dick didn't believe him, because there were simply too many illogical points of doubt.

First is Colin's squad. Five Swordsmen, a purely physical lineup, the error tolerance is terrifyingly low.

With this, he's still sure to win the Youth Group Championship?

Clearly, they couldn't even cross a river dozens of meters wide, so how could they shamelessly talk about winning the Championship?

Although he was inwardly disdainful, Dick still feigned surprise and pressed, "May I ask what kind of assistance Chairman Farman, that old gentleman, has given you?"

"Didn't I say before?" Colin chuckled, "It's a map. I have the safest and fastest routes for the entire Gaia Dungeon."

"Where is it? Can you let me see it?"

Seeing Dick's innocent expression, Colin cautiously shook his head, then pointed to his head and said, "It's in here. It's all stored in my brain."

"I remember every detail of the map clearly."

Colin wasn't stupid. Just now, he had thrown the map into the river amidst the chaos.

If he really took out the map, what if Dick turned hostile the next second?

Hearing this, Dick nodded slightly and warmly shook hands with Colin, expressing his willingness to cooperate and achieve good results together.

But everyone in Nate Team knew that this was highly unlikely, because Dick was aiming for the Championship and was not content with just the top ten.

And Colin also wanted to win the Championship, so there was an irreconcilable conflict between him and Dick. The two might travel together for a while, but they would definitely clash later.

Kun, who was nearby, guessed that Dick would likely have Spirit Snake Madam, who was guarding the Underground City entrance, make a move.

"Hehe, you're older than me, so why don't I call you Brother Colin?"

"That's great, virtuous brother!"

Dick wore a fawning smile and said ingratiatingly, "I apologize for the offense just now. That Treant is my tamed magic pet. It's used to being wild and dislikes interacting with outsiders the most..."

"No harm done, it was all a misunderstanding. Now that we are the closest teammates, as your elder brother, I naturally won't hold a grudge."

"Hahaha, Brother Colin is truly generous. Speaking of which, I am a Magic Swordsman. If I join your team and form a six-person squad, we would be invincible..."

Colin was already magnanimous. Seeing how sensible Dick was and how pleasant his words were, he was in a great mood at this moment, believing that he had gained a powerful helper through his personal charm.

Unlike his own team which consisted of five big men, Nate Team had four women, especially Alice, with her top-tier looks...

At this moment, Colin couldn't help but glance a few more times, fantasizing about some ambiguous romantic entanglement with Alice later.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, four pillars of fire rose, and Colin's four teammates behind him turned directly into charcoal without even letting out a scream.

It was Alice's doing. In less than half a second, she cast four End Magic spells, all powerful moves, instantly killing four Swordsmen over level thirty.

"Not bad, you've improved quite a bit compared to before."

Dick gently praised Alice, then subtly patted her perky bottom, making her blush.

Colin's mouth fell open, his mind crashing from the sudden turn of events. Just as he was about to sharply question Dick, he found his body was out of his control.

"You, what did you do to me?"

Dick gently shook his head and explained indifferently, "When a person is relaxed, their mind is lax, and it's easiest for a Nightmare to invade their brain."

At this moment, Anberer'er emerged from Colin's forehead, floated proudly to Dick's side, and said sweetly, "It's all done!"

Colin fell to his knees. He felt his life force constantly draining away, but he still looked at Dick in disbelief.

He didn't even understand what Dick meant. Where did the Nightmare come from? And why did it invade his brain?

"You... you can't do without me. Only I remember the map, only I can take you to check in most efficiently, only I..."

Dick sneered, looked at Colin, and said, "Idiot, if I kill you, the map will be mine too."
