After Vigilante A heard Zhi Nan’s question, he levitated into the sky with Tom the Black Tiger following him like a shadow, staying close to him.

There was no other way. If it were far away from him, it would be in serious trouble if Zhi Nan were to simply cast a skill.

Thankfully, all of Zhi Nan’s focus was on Vigilante A such that he did not notice the black tiger behind the hero at all.

Perhaps in his eyes, this black tiger was so weak and feeble that it posed no threat to him, and could be dealt with immediately.

“I’ve come here to capture you, devil! You are tempting others to turn into devils, and your evil deeds are as high as the sky. You have committed massacre, and your sins are unforgivable!” Vigilante A condemned sternly.

“Hmph, all of them had done this voluntarily. What does that have to do with me?” Zhi Nan scorned.

“What fallacious excuses! If you hadn’t seduced them, would they give up their good life to become mechs?” Vigilante A rebuked indignantly.

“That’s because they wanted eternal life, yet they hankered for an easy one. That was why they chose to be a mech. The primary and secondary brain complements each other to use the body to its full potential. They work just like dolphins – one work when the other rests,” explained Zhi Nan easily.

Instead of fighting, both parties started to quarrel.

That caused the people present at the scene to be extremely puzzled.

Saki Yamanashi whispered to the Black Robe, “Uncle Black Robe, why doesn’t Sir Azure Dragon fight with the Master?”

“That’s because he’s a massive hypocrite that always wants to stand on a moral high ground to attack everyone else! Master, on the other hand, is a man with ideals. How can other ordinary sinning devils be comparable to him? It’s delusional of him to rebuke the Master!” Black Robe said righteously.

Saki Yamanashi suddenly felt that this hideous looking Uncle Robe had suddenly grown great and mighty.

However, when she turned to look at the ultimate idol-like Vigilante A, that mighty feeling was quickly thrown to the four winds. Mm, Sir Azure Dragon looked like the more reasonable party…

Remember, to most people, attractiveness symbolized justice!

This was proven in the case of pandas. Pandas were not tame animals, nor were they meek and good in the wild. Why were they so popular when there were so many other animals more valuable and rare than them? It was because none of them were as adorable as pandas…

Meanwhile, the battle of wit and words continued.

“You deprive others of their freedom!”

“I gave them the right to chose!”

“You’re tempting them to corruption with honey-coated poison!”

“No, I’m telling them how to get a perfect life!”

Suddenly, Vigilante A said nothing and stood transfixed in the air. Zhi Nan did not take the opportunity to launch an attack, and had instead resolved to just look at the hero indifferently.

“This is not good. He’s much better in crafting his words than I am. I cannot beat him like this.” Sir System was dismayed.

“Heh heh, are you finally defeated? No matter what, he’s an intelligent devil with his own dreams and ideals, and not just any purely evil devil that is only good at causing trouble. Everything he does is in line with his vision, so it’s very hard for you to make him admit that he’s the evil one in this situation.” Fang Ning went straight to the point.

“What can I do, then? If I were to attack him directly, my chivalrous virtues will be affected. I must convince him with facts.”

“That’s not a very difficult task. I have a way, but you must promise me one thing.” Fang Ning was confident that he had found out Zhi Nan’s weakness.

“What’s that? I’ll be frank, don’t ask for money from me.” The System said warily.

“Stop spouting rubbish. Do I look like I desperately need your money? Give me a few more days of relief time. It’s been so long since I’ve had a break,” declared Fang Ning righteously.

“Bullsh*t, I’ve let you take over the body for more than ten days when I was upgrading the System Map. You spent your time either in the pool or wading neck-deep in play and games…” Sir System pointed out the facts.

“Oh, so you’re still monitoring me? As a System, how could you do that? You should’ve focused entirely on the upgrade! If you’re distracted by what I’m doing, it’s no wonder if there is a flaw in the upgrade! This is what happens when you multitask!” Fang Ning criticized fiercely.

Sir System bargained, “Stop getting your nose all over my business. Regardless, relief time is a no-go since I’ve already completed the upgrade. You need to change your request.”

“Ugh, how despicable. If that’s the case, get me more pills to eat. I want to advance my Dragonization Ability.” Fang Ning had no other choice but to compromise.

Sir System answered generously. “See, that wasn’t hard, was it? As long as what you’re doing is actually productive, I’ll gladly supply all your endeavors. I can even innovate new flavors for you! Do you want a stinky-tofu flavored pill? Maybe a Lao Gan Ma chili paste flavored pill?” 1

Fang Ning was pleasantly surprised. He was not expecting to gain some benefits out of this discussion. “Oh, that’s great. Just give me some Ma La flavored ones 2 .”

“Alright, no problem. Quick, come and deal with this Zhi Nan!” Sir System seemed impatient. At this time, its trait of never forgetting why it started was clearly shown.

Fang Ning took over his body once more.

Immediately, Vigilante A’s eyes shone with intelligence. He stared at Zhi Nan and started to spit long paragraphs of condemnation.

“Devil Lord, your guileful words, deceptive manners, and boastful behaviors have made you detestable!

“You have three sins!

“One, you have defied the heavens to create non-human mechs, and thus have went against the ethics of humanity!

“Two, you have behaved unscrupulously and have deprived others of their lives, and thus have went against the bottom line of humanity!

“Third, you have bewitched all beings to give up the real world in search of the void!”

Before Zhi Nan could reply, Fang Ning quickly continued, “You wicked being, suffer the wrath of my treasure!”

A golden book appeared and fell flew straight towards Zhi Nan!

“How did that work?” Sir System gaped.

“Of course it worked. Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘A gentleman shall reason with enemies instead of resorting to force’ ?” Fang Ning declared arrogantly.

“Although it feels like you’re fooling me, but I’ll let you off the hook this time.” Sir System seized the body again and immediately went into battle.

“Hmph, your logic is distorted!” With a tilt of his head, a gust of rich dark gas circled Zhi Nan and kept the golden book blocked outside.

Then, with a wave of his long sleeves, his entire silhouette disappeared.

This time, he did not bring his disciple and Black Robe together with him.

Vigilante A was not bothered by them as well. With a similar sway of the body, he also disappeared into thin air.

“Huhu, peace shall always prevail.” The Black Cat – no – Black Tiger Tom warily stared at the approaching Black Robe and the young girl whose eyes shone in a weird light.

Was this happening? Was he now trapped between a rock and a hard place?

Sir Tom should not be so unlucky!

Sir Tom had done multiple good deeds by assisting countless living beings to reincarnate. It should be blessed by the heavens!

Black Robe looked at it with cold eyes. Then, he said to Saki, “Demon General Saki, this black tiger mount was probably left behind by Vigilante A. Since he has stolen so much from us, it’ll be perfect if we could capture his precious mount in return.”

“No, no. Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. You should go and seek for the one who stole your resources. I, Tom the Black Tiger, have always been a law-abiding citizen, and have acted dutifully. I fear to harm the ants when I sweep, and I cover my lights due to my love for moths,” defended Tom with all his might.

With a quick moment of inspiration, it pointed at the ant on its head and said, “Look at this tiny grey ant. Someone as merciful and kind-hearted as I have never hurt it. I have always allowed it to cause ruckus on my head.”

SakI Yamanashi observed and nodded. “This seems to be true. In my opinion, a tiger that refrains from hurting even an ant would probably not be a bad individual. Uncle Robe, you should let it go.”

‘Haha, how interesting of you to still distinguish the incidents in this world with the scale of good and bad even after you follow the Devil Lord,’ thought Tom.

Regardless, that remained a thought for Tom. In reality, he said, “That’s correct. Thank you very much, your beautiful and benevolent girl. I’ll excuse myself now.”

At the next moment, Black Robe stood in its way.

“Hoping to leave, huh? You could deceive others, but you will never manage to trick me. Black Cat Tom, you are Master’s transformation. With our similar origins, how could I not see past your lies?” Black Robe suddenly exposed the cat.

Tom hissed and rebutted, “You’re making slanderous charges!”

“Hmph,” scoffed Black Robe. With a flick of his robe, a wall black mist rushed towards Tom.
