Chapter 265: Conditions
The "fight" between Liora and the Violence Lord had not lasted for long, as they had only exchanged a couple of blows before the latter was seriously injured.
Yet, before Liora could make the decision whether to kill him, the True Devils staying in the city finally stepped forward.
There were several among them who were on bad terms with the Violence Lord, but they still emerged, unwilling to let Liora kill him like this.
Although Liora could not be certain about the exact relationship between these six powerhouses, it wasn’t hard for her to guess their reasoning.
She could understand why they wished to stop her.
The Violence Lord was one of the six Lords of Bloodflower City, after all.
If he were to die here at the hands of an outsider, the reputation of the city would be ruined.
Moreover, no one could be sure what Liora’s next course of action would be.
Would she leave after she took her anger out? Or would she attack them next?
None of them was willing to bet their own lives.
Having guessed these people’s thoughts, Liora restrained her surging demonic energy.
She raised her head and cast a glance at the person who had spoken up earlier, sizing them up.
The person who spoke was a woman who, like most people in Bloodflower City, was also human-like.
It was just that, unlike the Violence Lord, whose shape resembled that of a human but who actually looked more like a beast, this woman could easily pass as a human.
Like an ordinary person, she floated in the air and stared at her, making it impossible for one to guess that she was a Devil.
However, Liora was not fooled by her appearance.
The information that Kazrien had relayed earlier and what Alpha had collected emerged in her mind, and she pieced together this woman’s identity.
Slave Lord—was her title, and just like the Violence Lord, she also occupied one of the city’s main industries.
Despite her unassuming and easy-to-underestimate appearance, the Slave Lord was the owner of the largest slave market in Bloodflower City.
These slaves were not mindless beasts, but Devils, creatures native to the Demon World, and most importantly, beings of other worlds.
Since True Devils could invade other worlds, nothing was stopping them from smuggling a few people back during their return journey.
Thus, a prosperous market of trading slaves had unknowingly formed in the Demon World, permeating throughout every single one of its Layers.
Some of the people sold were powerful creatures, others were beings with special characteristics that made them stand out, while there were even some slaves captured specially for people with special hobbies.
Recalling this information, Liora would not let her guard down around this woman.
No matter how gentle she looked, the number of deaths she had caused and the amount of anguish she had brought to other people was unimaginable.
Of course, this didn’t mean that Liora was afraid of her.
While she was thinking, Liora’s eyes wandered around the other True Devils.
Among them was Kazrien, who, unlike his previous friendly attitude, was now on guard, looking ready to defend against potential attacks.
Liora didn’t mind.
She merely glanced at him and the other people for a few moments before shifting her gaze back to the Slave Lord.
"I wonder how you’re planning to resolve this misunderstanding...
