Luo ng’s body jolted upright, his head nearly hitting the ceiling.
"Damn wench, who allowed you to refuse on my behalf?"
Luo ng couldn’t help but want to curse out loud.
Because of Candice’s words, he had taken a liking to that mysterious person he had yet to et. Even though it was just a filthy human, they were clever and capable of providing important intelligence. Most importantly, their taste was not bad.
If this person were to help, his achievents would grow, and his reputation among demons would rise.
In ti, a great number of demon masters would flock to his side, and toppling his father to beco the true Demon King wouldn’t be impossible... Demons lived exceedingly long lives, and who knows how long it would take for that old man to die of natural causes. Luo ng wasn’t that patient.
Of course, once his father abdicated, he would surely arrange all his affairs properly.
And yet such a good opportunity was rejected by Candice? Despicable.
Seeing the surprised look on Candice’s face, Luo ng realized his reaction might have been a bit inappropriate, and he coughed awkwardly, "Cough cough, Candice, you... you... you did well, um, very well, extrely well."
"To even think of toppling my father is truly an act of imnse treachery."
"As a prince, I should personally take action and bring him to justice."
"However, considering his rits towards , I won’t hold it against him. By the way, don’t make decisions on my behalf in the future, consult on anything before proceeding."
Candice almost laughed out loud at Luo ng’s reaction. This guy, it’s as if his thoughts are written all over his face. Could it be that Luo ng actually believes he’s already the Demon King?
He hadn’t even noticed that he was already referring to himself as ’I, the king’ on reflex.
If soone like Luo ng were to beco the Demon King, the demons would really be dood.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, Luo ng sat down again, sensing that his previous reaction was a bit improper: "Cough cough... Alright, I, the prince... accept his request, we can cooperate."
"Now, can you tell his intelligence?"
"Of course," Candice imdiately nodded: "According to that mysterious person, it’s not just the Hero Team mber Ronald who has entered the Demon Territory, but also one of the Twin Thieves, Erin."
Luo ng’s eyes suddenly brightened—two Hero Team mbers ant two credits for achievent.
"It’s precisely because a Thief Saint has constantly been aiding Ronald in hiding, that you’ve been unable to detect them... However, while Erin can help Ronald remain hidden, she’s unable to break through your multilayered blockade. Currently, they should still be trapped within the Third Princess’s domain."
Luo ng fell into deep thought. This was indeed important intelligence, but just knowing this didn’t seem enough to capture Ronald and Erin imdiately.
Candice sighed at Luo ng’s expression, massaging her forehead lightly before continuing, "Lord Luo ng, can you now narrow down Ronald’s approximate location on your side?"
Luo ng nodded his large head: "Yes, no matter how cautious, a human’s scent is quite distinctive in the demon’s realm. It’s not difficult to roughly determine Ronald’s location, but every ti I look closely, Ronald manages to slip away..."
"So, that gentleman’s suggestion is not to search ticulously anymore..." Candice smiled, "Although it might be a bit wasteful, why not gather thousands, tens of thousands of demons capable of using magic, and launch an indiscriminate assault on that area once you’ve confird the approximate location?"
"The Thief Saint’s stealth abilities are incredibly powerful, and even demons with sharp vision can’t see through them."
"However, even if they can hide their tracks, they can’t avoid an indiscriminate attack. Once the attack reaches them, their hiding place will be exposed."
"At that point, wouldn’t those two be like lambs to the slaughter?"
"Perhaps, the Thief Saint has ways to escape, but Ronald will definitely not get away."
This was a thod Lord Horus had specifically devised for Luo ng... Simple and brutal, because anything too complex, Luo ng might not understand.
Luo ng’s eyes shone brighter, indeed, this was a very feasible thod: "Cough cough, I, the prince... had also thought the sa, his idea coincides with mine, indeed, coincides."
"Then, go back and tell him that once I capture Ronald, I will hand him over for personal torture. I also hope he can provide with more useful intelligence."
"I understand... Ah, right, Prince, that gentleman also ntioned that before handing over Ronald, he hopes you could treat him well," Candice rembered sothing and hastily added.
Treat well?
This made Luo ng sowhat displeased.
After finally capturing him, was he supposed to be wined and dined?
Was this about detaining a criminal or hosting a distinguished guest?
Candice sighed with so helplessness, "I think what that gentleman ans is, you can take your ti torturing Ronald. After all, they have deep-seated grudges; as long as you leave Ronald alive, it should suffice."
...
anwhile.
The newly ford Hero Team, after many days of preparation, finally set out.
Karlin was temporarily entrusted to Nadia’s close friend, Miss Louisa, in the hopes that she wouldn’t pick up any bad habits.
