Greed is a person's nature. Some people can suppress their greed and use reason and morality to control all this. However, some people will be controlled by greed and become a beast driven by desire.

Of course, this statement is not always absolute. In many cases, the boundaries between the two are blurred. Just like a model of rationality, a moral gentleman becomes a lustful madman on one day, and a beast of desire shows unusual persistence at some point. This kind of thing is not impossible, but there are examples to follow. The biggest variable is interests.

Moral gentlemen can stick to their bottom line because interests are not able to break their bottom line. The beasts of desire can indulge in excessive power because interests are not able to put shackles on themselves. And if the weight of interests is enough, then whether it is a gentleman or a beast, they can actually tear off their skin.

Smith Zhou was very sure of this. What he was even more certain was that Victor could never withstand this temptation. Victor was a smart person, and such a smart person had a very clear understanding of many things. For example, how can we live better in such a world? How can we improve our position that we finally obtained in front of Smith Zhou.

He knew very well what he lacked in all this? Power! This is what he lacked. It is this thing that led to all the changes in his destiny so far. Any slightest bit of power that he could resist him that fate imposed on him would not become like he is today. Therefore, as a smart man, he would never give up any opportunity to gain power.

And now, since Smith put this opportunity in front of him, although it seemed a little dangerous, he would not give up anyway.

So soon, the guy who was tortured and covered in bruises stood up tremblingly, and looked straight at Mephisto, who was standing there unable to move, and then walked towards him step by step.

He walked very slowly, but his pace was firm. This brought more and more heavy psychological pressure to Mephisto.

Because he could not be sure whether the things Smith Zhou said were true. If they were true, then this might be his end. For Mephisto, who had enjoyed his life for billions of years, this was obviously an unacceptable thing. So immediately, he left all his face and began to beg for mercy shamelessly.

"Wait, wait. I admit defeat, I admit defeat. Smith Zhou, I am willing to admit defeat to you and surrender to you. As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to give everything I have. Smith Zhou, no! Sir, great lord. I can sign a contract with you. As long as you let me go, I swear that I can be loyal to you forever. Please believe me, after all, I am the devil king of hell, an existence that has lived for billions of years. The help I can provide you, a thousand times, a thousand times, a thousand times the guy in front of you. Whether it is wealth or rights, I can offer you. As long as you are willing to nod, I promise that I can serve you with all my heart and dedicate everything to you unconditionally. Sir, lord, as long as you give me this opportunity!"

After putting down all his integrity, Mephisto took out all his chips desperately. In the face of this level of chips, Smith Zhou had no words yet, but Victor was the first to worry.

He had to admit that these words of Mephisto were very deceptive. Whether it was the things he mentioned or his own allegiance, it was an irresistible temptation for anyone. In comparison, his own value was indeed a bit worth mentioning. As long as Victor was not stupid, he could see clearly.

After thinking about this, he began to wonder what kind of choice Smith Zhou would make. To be fair, if he was standing in Smith Zhou's position, he would definitely accept Mephisto's surrender without hesitation. Because no matter what, this is the allegiance of a devil. With absolute power to suppress this devil, the benefits it can bring are undoubtedly tens of millions of times that of a mortal. Therefore, as long as you look at the interests a little, you don't need to hesitate to choose at all.

Will Smith Zhou follow the interests? Victor had no idea at all. At this time, he could only quietly look at Smith Zhou with a desire look, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Smith Zhou, who had been putting his eyes on Mephisto, seemed not to see his look. He just moved his steps slowly and walked around Mephisto for two or three times. When he saw Mephisto's eyes twitching nervously because of his movement, he said to him with a smile.

"It sounds very tempting. But how can I trust you? Mephisto, your cunning and insidiousness are famous. I don't want to give you a chance at this time, which will lead to your backlash in the future. It would be too stupid, right?"

"No, no!" Mephisto heard what he meant and quickly begged. "I can offer my soul. As long as I hold my soul, my life and death will be in your hands. In this case, I will never betray you. So please rest assured that as long as you let me go, everything is easy to say!"

"Is that true?" He patted Mephisto's shoulder hard. Smith Zhou's smile on his face was very bright. For this smile that was too bright, Mephisto could only show an extremely stiff and strong smile.

"That's right, that's it. Sir, I have already brought out my greatest sincerity. For this reason, please let me go? I will be loyal to your right-hand man. With my help, your plan can be realized faster, right?"

"You're right!" Smith Zhou walked to Victor with his head down step by step, and then in Mephisto's incredible eyes, he pushed Victor directly and pushed him in front of Mephisto. "However, I don't believe you. Maybe what you said is true, but there is no difference to me. In addition, compared with Victor, I think he can make me trust more. No matter what, he is a human, and you are a devil. Isn't that an obvious question to believe?"

"I" Mephisto still wanted to defend himself, but Victor didn't give him that opportunity at all. He knew very well how rare such an opportunity was, so he took this moment that represented his future without hesitation.

He held the hilt of the sword of the God-slaying weapon tightly, and then rotated the dagger hard. The blade stirred Mephisto's heart, causing Mephisto to roar unlike human voices. And amid such a roar, Victor pulled out the dagger without any hesitation.

This pull was like opening a seal that could not be described. The rolling black smoke immediately surged out directly along the involvement of the scarlet spell on the blade.

The black smoke was almost endless, but it was always limited to such a small space by the spells on the blade. Moreover, the black smoke was still swallowed by these spells and was absorbed into the dagger bit by bit.

The sword body began to become black with the influx of black smoke, but the spell on it became more and more conspicuous and dazzling. This change surprised Victor, but he did not dare to let go of the hilt he was holding at all. Just as he was holding the hilt tighter, a stinging pain suddenly came out of his palm.

A red mark appeared on the hilt of the sword, embedded deeply into his palm. And with the embedding of this mark, the black smoke representing Mephisto's power contained in the sword body suddenly seemed to have found a way to vent, and rushed into Victor's body.

And this immediately made Victor roar in pain. This was not a pleasant feeling. The influx of power was like injecting hot hot oil into his body, which instantly reminded him of his experience of almost being burned to charcoal.

That was his nightmare, and now, this feeling was repeated again. This really made him almost unable to bear it. However, just as he was about to give up, he suddenly saw the change on Mephisto's face opposite him.

It was a kind of fear that had been frozen, from eyes to expression, completely horror and unwillingness. He no longer had the strength to speak, because as the black smoke was forced to be extracted so much, all his power had become nothingness like a bubble. This made him become the ridiculous appearance at the moment.

He looked ridiculous. Thinking of Mephisto's previous torture, Victor couldn't help laughing. He laughed loudly and crazy. It was precisely because of this pleasure that made him forget the pain in his body.

At this moment, the senses of will overwhelmed the body. Under this premise of not paying attention to pain, everything went very smoothly. As the scarlet and dazzling spell was completely extinguished in a burst of illusion, the former lord of hell, Mephisto, who had been dominating for countless centuries, turned into ashes.
