Vega's confidence stemmed from his sufficient strength.
In the past few days, Vega gained a lot of experience points in various heavy and large prisons. In addition, he personally eliminated some enemies in Naklo City who were resisting the Vongola Family.
He finally gained enough experience points to upgrade the Demon Possession skill to +10.
After using the Demon Possession skill, Vega's physical attributes will increase more than tenfold instantly, and his Nen will also increase significantly. Most importantly, his defense will be greatly enhanced.
He had previously tested it and found that using ordinary light weapons was simply not enough to break through the demon's defenses.
It will only consume some of his physical strength and mental energy when defending against attacks, but this consumption is not significant and he can withstand it completely.
Although the current defensive power of the Demon Possession is not quite as good as that of Uvogin of the Phantom Troupe, who can directly ignore rockets, Vega believes it is still a sure thing against someone who is not even as good as the Shadow Beast.
More importantly, his system still has some saved experience points. If he eliminates these enemies, he might be able to accumulate enough experience points to advance to the next level of the Evil Spirit Possession skill.
According to the information provided by the system, after enhancement and advancement, the artifact will undergo tremendous changes, and its power will increase dramatically.
And now, at just +10, he already possesses such power. If he successfully advances, even if the Ten Elders send out all their Yin Beasts, they will pose no threat to him.
Therefore, as his strength increased, Vega's inner thoughts naturally began to change.
At this moment, he was determined to obtain the position of the Ten Elders.
"Master, we just received intelligence that the convoy headed towards the club. It seems that Jack and other councilors are going to meet with them." Kolok immediately reported the information he had just received from his phone.
"Is that so?" Vega said with a disdainful smile. "Since they're plotting how to deal with me, how can the master of Naklo City not show up?"
"Let's get going! Let's settle this today, before these rats wreak havoc on Naklo City," Vega ordered nonchalantly, then added, "Send some others to the homes of Jack and those city councilors."
"By the way, try to capture those people alive. I want to execute them personally in front of everyone, so that everyone knows the consequences of betraying their own people."
"Yes, Master." Kolok nodded immediately in response, then notified his subordinates to begin the operation.
…
Inside the club at this moment.
As the motorcade arrived, city councilors Jack, Big Belly, and others came out to greet them at the entrance.
The red snake, accompanied by the blue lizard, and the hunting dog had just gotten out of the car.
City councilors Jack and the others immediately greeted them with smiles, saying, "You must be the experts Mr. Murphy sent to assist us in dealing with the Vongola family!"
"We have prepared a delicious meal. After you have rested, someone will deliver information about the Vongola Family to you."
Upon hearing this, Red Serpent coldly glanced at the city councilors and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "You've got it wrong."
"Remember, not Mr. Murphy, but respectfully address him as Lord Murphy."
"Furthermore, we are not assisting you in dealing with the Vongola family, but from now on, Naklo City will be under Lord Murphy's rule."
"But, but, that's not what our agreement says!" Upon hearing this, Jack and the other city councilors' expressions immediately changed, and they anxiously argued, "The agreement we reached with Mr. Murphy was only to have you deal with the Vongola family, not the subsequent proposals."
"Swish"
Red Serpent's arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed Jack's throat, saying coldly, "This is Lord Murphy's will, and you have no right to refuse."
"Do you understand?"
Jack was being choked and felt like he couldn't breathe. It seemed like his neck was about to be snapped at any moment, so all he could do was nod hurriedly, his face turning red.
Upon seeing this, the bodyguards belonging to several city councilors inside the club immediately prepared to draw their guns. However, the Blue Lizard and the Hound intervened, their figures flashing past the bodyguards in an instant.
Before anyone else could react, the dozen or so bodyguards had already collapsed to the ground, clutching their arms and groaning in pain.
"From now on, you are under our command. Just obey our orders." Red Serpent casually tossed Jack aside.
City councilors Jack and Big Belly looked extremely displeased upon witnessing this scene.
They hadn't expected Murphy to have such a huge appetite, actually planning to bring the entire city of Naklo under his control. However, the Ten Elders' power was too great, and they simply didn't have the courage to refuse or resist.
At this moment, these city councilors were filled with endless regret, regretting that they had provoked Murphy, this tiger.
Meanwhile, the blue lizard and hound behind them looked at Jack, the big-bellied senator, and the others with arrogance and disdain.
A group of ignorant and arrogant little people actually dared to try to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but they never thought that killing someone with a borrowed knife would come at a heavy price.
Watching the red snake lead the blue lizard and the hunting dog into the club as if they were the master.
Jack got up from the ground, covered in dust, and looked at the city councilors around him, whose faces were extremely ugly.
The group exchanged glances and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Jack couldn't help but sigh, and said dejectedly, "Let's just take it one step at a time for now!"
"We can't afford to offend the Ten Elders. We just hope that Lord Murphy won't make things difficult for us and will allow us to stay here and help him manage Naklo City."
The pot-bellied senator said with a resentful expression, "It's all that damned Vega Vongola's fault! Otherwise, none of this would have happened!"
Just then, a somewhat frivolous voice rang out from outside the door.
"Oh! I think I heard someone say I'm in their way, and it sounds like they want me dead!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the pot-bellied senator froze, breaking out in a cold sweat, his eyes slowly scanning behind him.
The next moment, he collapsed to the ground, howling:
V, Vega. Vongola.
