“Next, Index Fingers who are in charge of the banks and the underground casinos.”

After Watson finished dealing with the weapons and armor, he continued waving at Globe, who was in charge of maintaining the black hole in the sky. Veronica and Klein breathed heavily as anticipation appeared on their faces.

Count Gray and Marcus had obtained mystical fruits and powerful platinum-tier items, respectively. They did not know what they would get.

“You are getting this.”

With Globe’s help, Watson took 20 shimmering rings and let them float toward Klein and Veronica.

‘What is that? A ring? Compared to the previous two batches of gifts, why is our gift so bad?’

Veronica looked at the ring in front of her with a disappointed expression. It seemed like the ring in front of her was sparkling with starlight.. It should be of high quality. It was very likely better than the 100,000 platinum weapons that Watson had given to Marcus. However, there were only 20 rings; what could they do with those?

Just as she was thinking about that, Watson stretched his right hand outward and showed the ring on his hand. “These rings are known as Wish for the World rings. As the name implies, you can make a wish when you wear the ring. Each ring can make three wishes per day, and the items you receive will be twice the amount of what you wish for! I could get a hundred million gold coins because I used those rings to multiply one gold coin countless times.

“Black Emperor, thank you. Your gift to us is simply too good.”

Veronica, who had complained about the gift, quickly put half of the 20 rings on all of her fingers. If Klein had not been quick enough to take the remaining rings, perhaps Veronica would have worn the remaining ten rings on her hand as well.

There was no need to sell magical fruits and weapons. As long as she had those rings, Veronica could obtain a large amount of gold coins by making a wish every day and live a life of counting money while lying in a pile of gold coins. Compared to the first two, the ring was clearly stronger.

The gang’s Thumbs and Ring Fingers, who had just received their supplies, cast envious gazes at Veronica and Klein.

“Who’s next?”

After Watson’s voice sounded, the remaining Middle Fingers and Pinkies immediately began quarreling.

“It’s Elven and Snick’s turn. Let them go first. As for Middle Fingers, we are more modest and aren’t willing to compete with them,” Basher said, his eyes twinkling.

“Yes, we are very modest.” Amon nodded immediately.

Their words made Elven look disdainful. “Aren’t you two ashamed to say that? You were always the first to go up for any benefits, so why are you modest this time? We are Pinkies, and we always come last in the Severed Fingers Gang. It’s only right for us to receive the rewards now.”

They realized Watson’s reward got better each time. The later rewards would be better, so they wanted to wait for that.

“Elven, don’t slander me. When have I ever snatched the benefits? Well, I want to let you go first this time. Don’t you want it?”

“I don’t want it.”

“Elven, don’t do this the hard way. When I get angry, it’ll be very scary.”

“Really? Then I’ll have to take a good look. I hope your leg will be hard enough after it heals. Don’t let it get broken again.”

Watson smiled when he saw Elven and Basher arguing. He did not stop them. That was what he wanted to see. Therefore, he needed someone to stir the others’ competitive spirit. For example, when someone saw the things given to others were better than theirs, it was inevitable that they would feel unbalanced.

As long as he balanced the things given to different higher-ups and let them compare the items themselves, they would compete for better things.

“The last two rewards, I’ll give them to you at the same time.”

Watson nodded at Globe. Soon, three black and white beads floated from the black hole in the sky and unicorns with a single horn and shining fur.

“I remember that this magical beast was put here by the Black Emperor two days ago. How did it become like that?”

Some of the Severed Fingers members recognized the unicorn as they cried out in surprise.

The unicorn had three pairs of pure white wings on its back. At the same time, a layer of light engraved with mysterious runes appeared on the unicorn’s horn on top of its head. It rotated slowly and gave off intense pressure. Faint golden feather phantoms appeared on both sides of the unicorn’s body, accompanied by the whispers of the gods.

[Platinum-tier Magical Beast: the Angelic Unicorn]

[A unicorn that was fused with the bloodline of an angel and is much more powerful than a traditional unicorn.]

[Attributes: Light]

[Abilities: Holy Strike, Holy Judgement, Rapid Self-healing, Holy Enchantment, Archangel’s Sword (summons the angel’s sword, causing platinum-tier light magic damage), Holy Shield (resists attacks up to platinum-tier).]

[Additional abilities: Absolute Reflection, Body Fusion (temporarily fusing with the host’s body, lending its own strength to the host).]

That unicorn was hunted initially for its horn from the Forest of Eternity for King Landhar III, who had secretly attached the soul of a god to it, causing the unicorn to be corrupted. Watson had asked Globe to find some powerful magical beasts on Mount Creation to fuse them with the unicorn. That completed the beast’s evolution to become a platinum-tier magical beast.

As for the three black and white pearls, they were the Blessings of the Gods and Demons that Watson had researched on Mount Creation. If one consumed them, they could transform into an angel or demon race, obtaining strength that was not inferior to a platinum-tier elite.

“That unicorn is a platinum-tier magical beast, a gift to Elven. As for the remaining three pearls, they are called the Blessings of the Gods and Demons. They are the more powerful sun and moon fruits.”

Watson distributed the gifts separately. Elven looked at the unicorn that had spread its wings and flew in front of her. She extended her hand and gently stroked the smooth, silky fur on its body. The remaining three people received the three beads. When they heard Watson say that the effects of the beads were even more powerful than the sun fruit, they could no longer resist swallowing them immediately.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the ground beneath Basher’s feet was shattered by a powerful force. Two demon wings spread from his back; black flames burned on them. Two long horns grew on his forehead. There was a ball of flame in the shape of a sharp sword in the center, and his eyes had turned to red color.

“I’ve become a platinum-tier elite!”

Basher clenched his fists. His fingernails had become very long, and with a casual wave of his hand, there was a muffled explosion in the air, and a giant pit was created in the ground.

“My race has changed too. My current appearance is very similar to that of the legendary demon race.”

Snick’s body had also turned into a demon. Besides a horn and a demon tail, there was also a billowing black fog on his body. When the black fog touched the ground, it corroded holes in it. It was as if it came from the deepest abyss.

Amon’s body was different from theirs. White feathers condensed from the light and covered Amon’s back. At the same time, a halo appeared above Amon’s head.

“This power... I’ve become an angel?”

Two people had transformed into demons and the other into an angel. That scene caused the rest of the members to feel agitated.

“It can change one’s race, allowing one to become platinum-tier without training? What is that thing?”

Marcus and Count Gray looked at each other in shock. They saw the desire in each other’s eyes, especially Count Gray. Marcus was a gold-tier warrior. If he was lucky, he might get promoted to platinum-tier in his lifetime. However, Count Gray did not have much strength. It was almost impossible for him to advance to platinum-tier, but the situation had changed.

Anyone who got the beads would advance to platinum-tier; even an ordinary person could do that.

Platinum-tier elites had always been synonymous with power in the kingdom. Many of the members imagined the day they could stand at the top of the kingdom to command everyone.

Even Veronica and Klein, who had received the Wish for the World rings, were filled with envy when they saw Basher, Amon, and the others who got the pearls. They were in high spirits just a moment ago, but they suddenly felt that the rings on their hands were not that good.

After a moment of silence, Watson said, “Those are all the rewards I’m giving you at this time. In the future, I’ll give you something else from time to time, based on your performance!”

As soon as Watson finished speaking, he signaled for Globe to enter the black hole. Globe bade him farewell before entering the black hole and closed the spatial tunnel connected to Mount Creation.

“It’s finally over.”

Almost everyone present heaved a sigh of relief. On the one hand, they were hoping that Watson would give them more things. On the other hand, they were afraid that the things that Watson gave them would be too scary. They felt that the Blessings from the Gods and Demons were too heaven-defying. If there was something more powerful than the Blessings from the Gods and Demons, their hearts might not be able to withstand it.

The rewards that Watson gave were truly shocking. Initially, many of those Severed Fingers members had chosen to become Watson’s subordinates only because of their higher-ups’ command or because they were forced to do that. However, after that, they had acknowledged Watson’s identity as the Black Emperor and were prepared to perform well in front of Watson in exchange for a reward.

Watson sighed when he knew that his goal had been achieved.

For example, the things he had allocated to the Severed Fingers Gang’s higher-ups were not randomly distributed; he had done that after some careful consideration. Count Gray was good at brewing wine, so giving him the sun and moon gems was more cost-effective than giving them to others. Another example was Amon and Basher’s position as the middle fingers. Completing the assassination missions required strong combat strength. Therefore, he would give them Blessings from the Gods and Demons.

“I’m now a platinum-tier elite! Let’s see who dares to provoke me in the capital. Let’s see who is unhappy with me. If I punch them now, I’ll be able to beat them to their knees and make them call me grandfather.”

Basher restrained his demonic form, but he was still excited in the pleasure of becoming stronger. He had a proud expression on his face.

“Basher, I advise you to put away your tricks. Black Emperor bestowed your strength, but it’s not for you to satisfy your selfish desires,” Elven said coldly. She was stroking the unicorn.

“Don’t threaten me, Elven. You don’t need to care about what I do. Also, even if I do something out of line, what can you do about it? Can you beat me? Don’t tell me you want to use the winged horse to deal with me. Even if that magical beast is platinum-tier, I can still pull its head out and stick it in its behind.”

“How dare you insult the beast that the Black Emperor had given me? Basher, I think you’re courting death!”

Elven’s eyes narrowed, and an aura that surpassed platinum-tier descended from her body. Basher, who had been laughing arrogantly, suddenly became silent as if someone had grabbed his throat.

“The aura on your body is even stronger than mine. Are you at diamond-tier? Impossible! This isn’t real.”

“What’s impossible? My diamond-tier strength was bestowed by the Black Emperor. Nothing is impossible for him! Basher, just because you’ve obtained that bit of strength, it doesn’t mean that you can act so arrogantly. You are nothing in my eyes. Now, do you think I have the qualifications to teach you a lesson?”

Elven enunciated each word, causing Basher’s expression to darken. His lips moved a few times, and in the end, he hung his head in dejection and did not speak.

He thought that Watson could only advance a person to platinum-tier. He did not expect the young man to advance them to diamond-tier. How powerful was Watson?

After advancing to platinum-tier, Basher had some small thoughts in his mind, but at that moment, those thoughts were gone.

“I have done all I came to do. I will be leaving now. The development of the Severed Fingers Gang will depend on everyone. I will only be giving you directions. Let’s work together to grow the Severed Fingers Gang!”

“Yes, Black Emperor. Under your leadership, the Severed Fingers will become better.”

“Long live the Severed Fingers Gang! Long live the Black Emperor!”

All the Severed Fingers gang members knelt on the ground. Their gazes were fervent, and their voices shook the sky. Accompanied by the roars of his subordinates, Watson turned around and left Count Gray’s manor. The moment he walked out of the door, the voices stopped. He turned around. He realized that the manor behind him looked exactly like Count Gray’s manor from the outside. He smiled.

“Watson, why are you here? We’ve been looking for you for a long time. Where did you go?”

Just as Watson was about to turn around and take a step forward, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. Then, a pale hand touched his shoulder.

It was Christina. She was looking at him with a strange expression. Sword Saint Reid and Antonio were behind her. They had the same odd expression on their faces as well.

“Watson, if I’m not mistaken, you just walked out of that manor. Reid and I have been searching around that manor for a long time, but we did not find you inside. Is there something special about that manor?”

“Let’s not talk about that manor. Watson, I remember that the manor is the property of Count Gray. He is a famous nobleman in the wine trade. Do you know him?”

First, it was Antonio, and then Reid joined the inquiry team.

“Regarding that, I will explain it to you when I have time, Masters. I wonder why you are so anxious to find me?”

When he saw Christina with Antonio and Reid, he guessed that she must have told them about Augustus, which was why they were so anxious to find him. Their action warmed his heart.

“We’re looking for you because we went to the Campbell family a few hours ago. You really are something! You taught the Campbell family a lesson, but you also left them with some dignity intact. After you left, the Campbell family’s patriarch was so angry that he wanted to complain to the King. Fortunately, your master and I came forward and suppressed that matter.”

Reid sighed. Watson was shocked to hear that. “What? Master, you have already been to the Campbell family. When?”

“When you left, or more accurately, before you left. Antonio and I hid outside to watch the situation. We saw you unleash your power and fuse a diamond-tier puppet, and we also saw you make a starlight-tier sword and feather coat! Oh, right! The most interesting thing is that your master made a bet with me on whether you would choose to use magic or sword technique to solve the problem. For that, we bet twenty years of red wine, and Antonio lost three bottles to me in a row.”

“Reid, don’t talk nonsense here. If Watson were not afraid to destroy the Campbell family with magic, he would have used magic instead of sword technique.”

“Really? Antonio, I think you should stop deceiving yourself. Watson’s sword attack destroyed most of the Campbell Manor. If he did not want to destroy them, he wouldn’t have used that sword technique.”

“Reid, are you done? If he were not worried about destroying the entire Campbell family, then it must have been because he had fused a longsword, so he decided to use it for his attack. It was not because the spells I taught him were inferior to your sword technique.”

Watson smiled wryly; his head hurt.

He did not think that while he was surrounded by thousands of guards in the Campbell family and attacked with holy relics, his two masters were hiding nearby and discussing his next moves. They were too childish, and they were too assured of him.

“Since you saw me leaving the Campbell family, then you wouldn’t be looking for me because of that. What was the reason?”

Watson decided to interrupt their argument.

“Watson, you’re really smart. We can’t say that it’s related to the Campbell family or that it has nothing to do with that. Did you sign a contract with the Campbell family before you left, asking for their holy relics? Since you weren’t in a hurry to take those holy relics when you left, Antonio and I took the initiative to help you retrieve them. Why don’t you research and help create a weapon for me? I don’t have many requirements. As long as that weapon can defy the gods and heave, it will be fine.”

Reid rubbed his hands; he no longer paid attention to Antonio. Instead, he gave Watson a flattering smile.
