Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Facing Doro Krenge’s taunt, there was no ripple on Rotis Marling’s face, and the character of Bosius Mallin followed Rotis Marling; likewise, his face showed no ripples.

Arguing with such self-righteous people is meaningless and will only make oneself angry in the end.

It’s enough to just point out the mistakes he said and leave the judgment to all the nobles present, to turn him into a clown.

However, if one were to do so, the relationship with Duke Doro Krenge would inevitably become very strained.

Don’t be fooled by Duke Doro Krenge’s appearance; he is still the current head of the Star Clan and the Minister of Economy of the Sethis Kingdom, possessing some tactics.

If the relationship with him becomes too strained, it would be hard to explain to the King, and he would seem intolerant.

Just as the Rotis father and son were pondering how to retaliate awkwardly yet politely, without creating displeasure on both sides, a charming figure appeared among them.

A young girl with orange-yellow hair wore a gorgeous red dress and was dressed exquisitely; she smiled slightly and said:

”Duke Doro Krenge, you’ve had too much to drink.”

Duke Doro Krenge glared at the orange-haired girl; he didn’t want anyone to disturb him in his excitement.

Before Duke Doro Krenge could speak, the orange-haired girl continued:

”As I grow older, I somewhat understand Duke Doro Krenge’s feelings.

I know the Duke has a daughter who left the family for various reasons.

Although you were primarily responsible for expelling her, as a father, you are still unwilling to shut your daughter out, inciting her resentment against you.

There’s no need to drown your sorrows in wine and unleash your dissatisfaction on others….”

Duke Doro Krenge grasped the wine glass, a crack gradually spreading from the base; he snorted angrily:

”Don’t bring up that unfilial daughter’s matter.

Besides, she’s not my only daughter.

She keeps babbling about demons all day long, utterly ridiculous…

My rare good mood has been completely ruined by this matter.

I admit I drank too much just now and said some things to Duke Rotis Marling and his son that I shouldn’t have; I apologize for that.

Leaving.”

Saying this insincerely apologetic remark, Duke Doro Krenge gulped down the wine in the glass and returned to the center of the dance hall with two beautiful women.

Bosius thanked the orange-haired girl before him:

”Thank you so much, Miss Liu Li, for coming to our rescue.”

Just as Bosius finished speaking, a man as robust as a lion approached the girl’s side, his orange-yellow hair extremely conspicuous,

”Nothing to thank for; it’s something my daughter should do.

Since we’re the hosts of this ball, we have an obligation to prevent any conflicts between participants.

Bosius is now quite favored by the King.

…Although it’s a pity that he didn’t achieve a good ranking in the Dragon God Conference, the person he lost to is someone extraordinary.

That person won the top place at the Dragon God Conference.

If any blame is to be laid, it can only be on the format of the Dragon God Conference; if Bosius hadn’t been eliminated so early, he might have contended for the top three.”

”You indeed overestimate my son; having gone through the Dragon God Conference, Bosius now understands that there are always people better than oneself and there’s always someone stronger. Even if the format were changed, he would at most enter the top sixteen.” Rotis said modestly.

”Let’s not speak of this any longer. Duke Rotis Marling, Bosius and Princess Eena’s engagement is truly regrettable.

Princess Eena had a task to fulfill, so the engagement had to be dissolved.

We are at least distantly related to the royal family; Liu Li is not getting any younger, perhaps you might consider?

They would indeed be a pair of talent and beauty....”

Bosius smiled wryly; ever since his engagement with Princess Eena was dissolved, he seemed to have become hot property from unknown origins, with many nobles coming multiple times to propose marriage.

However, this time, it seemed a little different from before.

In the past, many people looked at Bosius as if they saw a dream lover, but now, Bosius noticed anger and reproach in Liu Li Serti Sun’s eyes when she looked at her father.

It appears that Miss Liu Li is already in love with someone. This time, like usual, just decline!

One wonders which fellow has caught the eye of this beautiful young lady...

In the distance, at the stronghold of [Red Blood Rose], Gordon sneezed loudly and looked at the 9x9 Magic Cube before him.

He was just a bit away from completing the Magic Cube.

Originally, he could have completed this Magic Cube earlier, but since the Dragon God Conference ended, he increased his training, leaving much less free time, making rotating the Magic Cube his stress relief tool.

Just as Gordon was about to turn the Magic Cube and complete the last few steps, a magician with large round glasses and a pockmarked face burst in, placing a Crystal Ball in front of him:

”The [Chasing Origin Strategy] is suddenly making contact.”

Gordon rotated the Magic Cube while tilting his head; though the alliance was established not long ago, why were they suddenly contacting?

Is there an issue? Or has the Demon King already arrived?

Gordon put the Magic Cube down, letting Wanjing Zhuhua connect to Yang Yu and their team; the Crystal Ball projected a face they remembered clearly.

Yang Yu and their team had nothing significant; they were just giving a heads-up since they were now on [Red Blood Rose]’s territory.

Yang Yu recounted recent events to Gordon, advising him to be careful.

Except for the issue concerning the [Ancient Ghost], Gordon knew a bit about everything else through his intelligence network.

Then, Yang Yu specifically instructed Gordon to protect Sana and the Nine-Life Cat Demon, as the Demon King might send someone to attack them.

Gordon replied while rotating the Magic Cube in his hand: ”They are my team members, and as the leader, I will ensure their safety.

You will continue your activities in Sethis.

If a situation arises that I cannot handle, I will notify you immediately.”

With this satisfactory response, Yang Yu and his team finally ended the communication.

Gordon continued to fiddle with the Magic Cube until he completed it, and then prepared to rest.

Just then, he suddenly heard a sound at the patio window.

Tilting his head, Gordon saw outside the window a girl with short golden hair, wearing round glasses like Wanjing Zhuhua, her golden Dragon Eyes shining brightly.

”This is indeed a rare visitor. I did not expect you to come here.”

Stopping his steps immediately, Gordon lightly tapped the air with his finger, and the patio window opened, allowing the girl to land steadily on the villa’s red carpet.

The visitor was none other than the assistant and reconnaissance role of [Dragon God’s Might]—Corola Shuer.
