After a mont, his attitude suddenly softened, and he lowered his voice to say.
"We're just following orders... Please understand."
Luo Yan glanced at him, not making it difficult for him, just looking at the corpse on the ground.
"Now that he's already dead, what do you plan to do?"
"Hand it over—"
"Better leave it to ." Rahem Nefrek's response was not finished when a light and composed voice ca from the night, carrying a hint of an unhurried smile.
The voice was neither fast nor slow, yet carried so kind of invisible pressure that made everyone present slightly glance sideways.
Luo Yan looked up, following the direction of the voice, only to see a man dressed in a dark blue noble robe walking slowly in the distant night.
His steps were elegant and casual, as if he completely disregarded the chaos and murderous atmosphere here, his deep eyes carrying a careless smile, the golden embroidery outlining the administrative emblem of the Demon City on his robe, indicating an unusual identity.
Luo Yan's gaze slightly narrowed, the man's attire, speech, and undeniable aura almost instantly made him realize who the visitor was, though he wasn't too certain.
Rahem was clearly taken aback, a slightly fearful expression appearing on his surprised face.
"Hello, Mr. Luo Yan, very pleased to et you." The gentleman, elegant and composed, extended his right hand, his mouth still holding an appropriate smile, with an impressive deanor but no sense of arrogance, making it hard for anyone not to feel favorably towards him.
Especially those charming pupils, which always gave Luo Yan a sense of déjà vu—
He seed to have seen them sowhere.
"I'm also pleased to et you, may I ask who you are..." Luo Yan hesitated slightly as he held out his right hand.
"Karamos lusine, Cabinet Minister of Intelligence, or rather... Lord Demon God's left eye."
Admiring the look of astonishnt and shock on Luo Yan's face, Karamos smiled, teasingly comnting, "I've long heard of your famous na, today I finally had the chance to et you."
Looking at the suddenly intervening Intelligence Minister, although Rahem was fearful, he still bit his lip and spoke lowly.
"Lord Karamos... Zakro is an escaped criminal wanted by our Truth Departnt, you're making it difficult for ."
Karamos unexpectedly turned back to look at him, then smiled casually and said.
"Don't you know? Your boss has already handed over General Sebes and related cases to our Intelligence Departnt."
"You an... Lord Goliath?"
Rahem looked at him in a daze, speaking in bewildernt.
"But... what does this have to do with General Sebes?"
"Oh, it has quite a lot to do with it," Karamos's face showed a hint of an evil smile, "this concerns the lives of eighty thousand soldiers, and the 'justice' of our esteed Lord Demon God."
As he said this, he gave Luo Yan a aningful glance, smilingly saying.
"Don't you agree, dear Demon King?"
...
Central Demon City, deep within the Temple, the eerie green Soul Fire burned slowly, illuminating the obsidian do high above in the Temple.
Beneath the towering Demon God Statue, the eerie green fla reflected in Witch Demon Goliath Soron's hollow eye sockets. He sat silently on the throne, his figure rging into the shadows of the Temple, remaining as silent as ever over the centuries.
However, this silence was quickly broken by a rush of footsteps.
"My lord!"
An urgent and deep voice sounded from outside the Temple's door, as a high-ranking Judger strode into the hall with a flowing black and gold Judgent Robe, then knelt on one knee, right fist against the chest, a hint of weightiness and disbelief in the voice.
"News has co from Black Wind Castle, Zakro Dragon—dead."
Goliath's Soul Fire trembled slightly, the eerie green fla gently flickered as if blown by an invisible wind.
He slowly moved his gaze, the hollow eye sockets flashing with deep light, as if to confirm, he softly repeated.
"...Zakro, dead?"
The Judger bowed his head, speaking in a low, somber tone: "Yes, my lord, he died at Black Wind Castle, on his way to assassinate the Black Wind Castle Baron... All signs indicate that the one who killed him was Baron Luo Yan!"
The Soul Fire burning in Goliath's eye sockets suddenly flickered intensely, the boiling flas reflecting an incredulous light, seemingly processing the massive amount of information.
Zakro... his student, the covert controller of the Dragon family for a century, a Horror Demon with Purple Crystal Level strength, actually died at the hands of a Silver Level Undead Mage?
"How is this possible..."
Hearing the hoarse whisper, the Judger tightened his bow, solemnly continuing to speak.
"The news is verified... There is no mistake, the entire Black Wind Castle witnessed it."
Goliath's body slightly shook, the Netherworld Energy flowing within the hall suddenly colored with a hint of lancholy.
A multitude of emotions surged within him; shock, bewildernt, anger, sadness, regret—eventually manifesting as a faint sigh, rging into the frost of a thousand-year silence.
Perhaps this day was bound to co, but he never thought the farewell would arrive so quickly and suddenly.
Zakro's evasion under the Truth Departnt's pursuit was indeed his tacit approval.
After all, that was his student, they shared a century-long bond, having weathered many storms together.
