"What?! Someone tried to assassinate my daughter?!" Balmond's face darkened as fumes of turbid air gushed out of his nostrils.
The messenger had a nervous look as he glanced at the ground. He dared not lift this head at this moment or he might get killed by the Demon Emperor out of anger.
"Calm down, Brother Balmond. From what I know about Wine Master Jiu Shen, he should have sent someone to secretly protect Her Highness, Cornelia. You've seen his subordinates in the lotus building, right? Ordinary assassins couldn't beat them!" Yue Bo patted Balmond's back as he pacified the raging demon.
They just came back to the store and this was the first news they received. It wasn't good! Their originally joyous moods brought about by their recent breakthrough suddenly turned grave.
Balmond took a deep breath as he stared deeply at the kneeling messenger. He sent this guy to secretly follow Cornelia.
"Tell me the details..." Balmond muttered through gritted teeth.
The messenger nervously wiped off his sweat as he narrated the events he had seen that night. He was the only late stage Demon Ancestor left in the Great Demon Empire since their strongest experts were sent to do a secret mission. His only task this time was to protect the princess in secret, so he didn't come out when he saw her sneaking out of the palace. He only followed her to the forest and was stunned when the assassins abruptly came to surround her. Just as he was about to move right then, he saw three savage beasts in human forms who suddenly killed those assassins. He didn't even have the chance to show himself when the last assassin was killed!
Balmond heaved a sigh of relief after listening to his story. Luckily, Wine Master Jiu Shen had long since known the plans of the two noble families and he even sent three experts at the Void God Realm to secret protect his daughter.
"Wine Master Jiu Shen is truly wise! He even foresaw that this would happen..." Balmond sighed with admiration.
Yue Bo also nodded his head in agreement. Indeed! Nothing can escape Wine Master Jiu Shen's eyes!
"Brother Yue, I'll go meet the three savage beasts who protected my daughter. I want to thank them in person." Balmond said before he went to the lotus building. Yue Bo soon followed right after him.
Balmond had seen the three savage beasts mentioned by the messenger since he had seen them several times during his last visits to the lotus building. He wasn't surprised about the guy named Aren and the dragon girl Long Meili. However, he never would have thought that the chubby white cat who was always sleeping in Jiu Shen's arms was actually a top expert!
After entering the store, Balmond ignored the greetings of the customers and scanned everyone inside. His gaze then stopped on a purple-haired man. Seeing him, Emperor Balmond's eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards him with a smile.
"Thank you for saving my daughter last night, Lord Aren!" Balmond grabbed the hand of the shocked Aren and shook it gratefully.
Aren immediately pulled his hand away as he shook his head. "It's nothing. Sister Ice asked Sister Meili and me to go with her, so you should thank her instead."
Hearing this, Balmond immediately said. "No! No! I still have to thank you, Lord Aren. I will also thank Lady Ice and Lady Meili for their help."
Aren shrugged as he looked at the Demon Emperor who had gone up to the second floor to search for Ice and Long Meili.
"That guy almost broke my hand..." Aren muttered while rubbing his aching hand.
Not long later, Balmond found the two ladies and also thanked them. He even took out his treasures and evenly distributed the resources between Aren and the two of them.
"Feel better now?" Yue Bo asked the Demon Emperor as he chuckled heartily.
Balmond nodded his head. His eyes then narrowed as he muttered. "Those dogs actually dared to send assassins after my daughter! I will kill them soon!"
"This is a great opportunity, Brother Balmond." Yue Bo suddenly said.
Hearing this, Balmond's ears perked up as he stared at Yue Bo in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Yue Bo smiled as he answered. "After you announce the ascension of Her Highness Cornelia, those two noble families surely wouldn't sit still. If my guess is right, they might even start their rebellion during Her Highness' coronation ceremony! Once that happens, we can kill them in one fell swoop! Of course, this is merely a guess of mine and it is also possible that they might do something unexpected. Still, this is a great opportunity! We can station experts in key areas during Her Highness' coronation ceremony!"
Balmond's eyes shone upon hearing Yue Bo's words. It seemed like he had underestimated his new human brother. This guy was actually a hidden tactician!
"Brother Yue, this idea is brilliant! I will announce the ascension of Cornelia immediately, so we should plan where to put the experts during the coronation ceremony! But before that, I would like to meet that stupid girl! I thought that she was a genius that was never been seen in the empire for thousands of years, but her actions truly disappointed me. I'll punish her first! Hmph!" Balmond gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
Yue Bo chuckled and secretly prayed for the succubus.
And so, the two went to the imperial palace, but they failed to see Cornelia there.
"Where did that stupid girl go this time?!" Balmond smashed the wall of the imperial palace, blasting through a massive hole with just a single fist!
The Demon Emperor angrily used his spiritual perception to scan the surroundings. He then ended up seeing his daughter outside of Morlon City standing shoulder to shoulder with a strict-looking young human.
"This.... Who's this little guy?" Balmond frowned when he saw Cornelia's shining expression as she looked at this youth.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
