After receiving Herretia’s order, the magic puppet—more accurately, Simons Lillest—finally stopped groveling.
“Tell me why you came.”
“Why should I tell you? I’m a noble demon!”
“But you’re kneeling before me now, noble demon,” Herretia said, sneering.
“I will break free from your control. I swear!”
“Maybe I should put you on some square and have you kneel on the ground, enjoying countless humans’ gazes.”
“If you dare to do that, I swear I’ll kill you. I promise!”
“Come with me.”
Simons couldn’t resist Herretia’s command at all. This scared him too. “Wait. Human, we can talk.”
“Now you’re willing to talk?”
“If I tell you who I am, would you free me?”
“Of course…not. You’re my slave now. Why should I free you?”
“I’ll escape from you one day and then kill you.”
Herretia didn’t care about this kind of threat at all. It was a curse without any magic power.
“You talk too much.”
“I’m a demon who came to the human world 1,000 years ago. I have super strong power. I displayed my power perfectly in the human world, conquering one city after another. But then I was betrayed. My servant tricked me and I was sealed in stone.”
Herretia squinted. This was a dangerous demon.
She was thinking about how she should deal with this demon.
Even though he was restricted by her now, it wasn’t foolproof.
Herretia was actually controlling the magic puppet, while Simons was in that long red sword.
The magic puppet was holding the sword, which was why Herretia could control him.
But what if it was a person holding the sword?
It seemed that she had to put up some precautions.
“What are you doing?” Simons suddenly panicked.
Because Herretia was welding the magic puppet and sword together with magic, firmly locking the sword to the puppet’s arm.
“This is much safer.” Herretia was proud of her masterpiece. “Let’s go. It’s time to do what we must do.”
…
There were a dozen fully-equipped mercenaries in the forest across from Mirror Lake. They all hid in the trees.
Just then, engine sounds came from the water.
Four or five boats stopped near them. Twenty-some more mercenaries jumped down.
The mercenaries from the boats and the ones on land were from two different teams.
However, they were old friends. They’d both fought together and against each other before.
“Hey, Toby.”
“Haus, I really didn’t think you’d be here too.” The two leaders hugged each other. Even if they’d gone against each other before, they could still sit down and drink after the mission ended.
“Do you know who our enemy is this time?” Haus asked.
“The information I received only said that he’s Chinese. Someone from the Dark family went missing in the vicinity of his house. Penout Dark issued the order to find Howard Dark, whether alive or dead.”
“What about the firepower inside the house?”
“There’s only that Chinese man and a girl. Their lives don’t matter.”
“Only two people? How come they found both of our teams at the same time?”
“Before Howard Dark disappeared, he had 12 professional bodyguards with him. They all disappeared. There must be unknown weaponry in that mansion.”
“Even so, they shouldn’t need both of our teams.”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with me. Anyway, the Darks offered a pretty high price. If we work together, we can ensure the safety of all our members.”
“Then fine. Let’s discuss the plan.”
“I plan on bringing people over on the motorboat and charging over,” Toby said.
“Okay, I’ll bring people over through the forest.”
“Let’s match our watches.”
“It’s 7:13 now. Let’s start at 7:30.”
“Okay.”
Just then, a mercenary ran over to Toby. “Leader, look over there.”
Toby looked through the binoculars and suddenly felt both angry and joyous.
Because he saw that Chinese man in the front yard of the house. He was shirtless and laying there, enjoying the leisure time under the night sky.
“Really a b*stard who knows how to enjoy life,” Toby insulted with a laugh.
“That’s good too. It can make our mission easier to accomplish.” Haus put his binoculars down.
“Brothers, let’s enjoy the adrenaline of destruction.”
…
“Amon, they haven’t moved yet? I’m getting tired of waiting.”
Right now, Amon was hiding at the mouth of the lake. He also complained, “Master, you’re making me move a bit too much recently.”
“You’re benefiting a lot too. How come you don’t complain about that?”
“Master, you don’t need a lazy bum like Amon,” Carrie said, jumping into Chen Zhao’s arms. “Carrie is enough. I can freeze all of your enemies and make your road to domination smooth and unobstructed.”
“Lowly subordinate of the King of Frost. Do you think you can help the human dominate the world? Only I, Samuel, the amazing King of Wrath, am qualified to conquer the world.” Samuel spoke proudly from Chen Zhao’s shoulder.
“Your Majesty, you’re high and mighty in Hell, but in the human world, you’re only Master’s servant too. You have to show respect to him too.”
“I don’t care. Only I can conquer the world. No one can fight me.”
“Ada, I’m so tired. When are they coming? Can I go to sleep first?”
Chen Zhao was done. Couldn’t they be a bit more serious before the great enemy? Please?
These annoying demon subordinates really made Chen Zhao speechless.
“Master,” White Ma said sincerely. “Black Ma and I will listen to your orders seriously.”
Hearing White Ma’s words, Chen Zhao finally felt a bit better.
But Black Ma’s next words frustrated him even more.
“Master, can we go clean up the battlefield after today’s fight?”
Today, Black Ma and White Ma had found quite a lot of money from Howard’s group.
They were obsessed with cleaning up now…
Just then, Amon sent a message. “Master, the water is moving. Four speedboats.”
Chen Zhao stood up and stretched. He looked at Mirror Lake. “Kids, the war has begun. Are you all ready?”
