Chapter 1917: You And Me Are Enemies At Most
They didn’t mind.
Of course they didn’t mind!
If it weren’t because of his status, many of them would have already taught this arrogant prick a lesson.
The arrogant pricks of the Edward Family were indeed all hateful.
However, everything had its vanquisher. They all became cowards whenever they met Alex.
The other representatives still had to take Sean’s identity and their race’s benefits and interests into consideration.
But Alex didn’t have to. He was single and all alone now, and he was the extremely powerful kind of single and alone person. He could do whatever he pleased without any care.
He sliced off Josh’s ear and issued him a death threat, but the Roth Empire didn’t make a single sound.
Therefore, it was perfect timing for Alex to appear when Sean was showing off.
Mag really came here to fetch his wife. He realized that Irina had not returned after putting the two children to bed, so he thought he ought to show his face at such an important moment. Hence, he came to the city lord’s castle.
Bumping into Sean showing off was just pure coincidence. However, since he saw it, of course he had to put him down.
Although Sean did not take part in that rainy night’s assassination, he had to have contributed to the military’s silence. Furthermore, he had been sending people to search for his whereabouts in the past three years. Sean had been worried that Mag hadn’t been completely dead, so he wasn’t a good guy anyway.
Sean, who was targeted by Mag, retracted his fists from the table unnaturally. That pair of eyes was still as dangerous as before, and it even had an additional hint of hostility now.
The current Alex was even more powerful than the Alex before.
After defeating the devil and sealing it, Alex’s status had reached an extremely elevated height in the hearts of the people of the Roth Empire, and perhaps even the whole Norland Continent.
“Alex, long time no see.” Sean looked at Mag with a smile, as if he had just met a long-lost friend.
“You don’t have to pretend to be on familiar terms with me. You and I are enemies at most. Even if I don’t kill you today, I won’t welcome you with a smile,” Mag said with a smirk mercilessly.
Sean’s smile froze on his face instantly.
Exhilarating!
All the representatives’ expressions softened, with them feeling extremely gratified.
Irina was also looking at Mag smilingly. She didn’t expect him to be so good at arguing now. He had to have learned some of it from her.
Even though the powerhouses around Sean looked furious, they didn’t dare to say anything.
Sean quickly calmed down, and said to Mag, “You might have some misunderstandings about the past incident, but it isn’t convenient for me to elaborate now. Now, our common enemy is the devil. I hope you can put aside the past grievances and work together with us to kill that escaped devil or seal it again.”
Mag chuckled. “You might have some misunderstandings about the meaning of ‘misunderstanding.’ You and I both know very well what happened back then. However, I indeed won’t kill you now. I will settle the scores with you slowly after we deal with the devil and the peace meeting.”
Sean looked severe after he heard that.
“Alex, since you already came, why not sit down and join in the discussion for a solution? After all, Princess Irina and you discovered that cave. I wonder what you think about it?” Michael said with a smile as he broke up the tense atmosphere.
“Whatever Irina said is what I wanted to say.” Mag flicked a glance at Irina before continuing, “I have no idea where to look for it, either. However, building a new seal spell formation as soon as possible is definitely right.”
Micheal nodded, and said, “Since this is the case, I will pay a visit to the Moon Nation’s princess at Mamy Restaurant tomorrow. I heard that she has already returned to Mamy Restaurant today.”
“Since this is the case, you guys continue with the discussion. We’ll be going home first.” Mag went to Irina, extended his hand out to her, and gently said, “Let’s go.”
“Mm-hmm.” Irina curled her lips, grasped Mag’s hand, and walked towards the door.
All the representatives watched them disappear outside the meeting hall with a grievous expression.
Nobody expected to see them show off their love in the midst of such an intense meeting.
Sean heaved a breath of relief inwardly too. He slowly relaxed his tightly clenched fists before leaning back against the back of his chair slowly. Only then did he realize his clothes were already drenched in his sweat.

After leaving the city lord’s castle, Irina looked at Mag smilingly. “Tsk, tsk. You came to fetch your wife?”
“Yes. That’s correct.” Mag removed his mask and smiled at Irina too, but he didn’t let go of her hand.
“Where are the little ones?”
“They have just fallen asleep, so I came to fetch you,” Mag said honestly.
“Hmm. You’ve done well.” Irina nodded.
“Are you hungry?” Mag asked gently. “Do you want to eat something?”
“Yes.” Irina nodded honestly before she thought seriously, and said, “I want to eat hot pot. I want beef roll, mutton roll, tripe, pig’s brain and everything.”
“Are we eating hot pot now?”
“Yes. I haven’t eaten dinner tonight. The city lord’s castle’s packet food is horrible.” Irina nodded with an innocent gleam in her eyes.
“Alright. I will make it for you shortly.” Mag’s heart softened, and he agreed with a smile.
Irina sent them back to the restaurant by teleporting.
“You take a seat first, and I will go prepare the hot pot ingredients.” Mag poured a glass of warm water to Irina before going into the kitchen.
Mag had kept some of the dinner’s bone broth for Irina, but it was perfect to be used as the hot pot’s soup base now.
Soon, Mag carried a double-flavored pot out of the kitchen.
Then, he carried another two big trays out. They were filled with all kinds of dishes and a specially mixed dipping sauce.
Irina’s taste was relatively lighter, so the red soup base was only mildly spicy. It was specially made for the lady boss. Mag had made it to suit her taste. It was more flavorful than the clear soup, but it wouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable.
“Cook the beef roll and mutton roll first before cooking the vegetables in the clear soup…” Irina added the ingredients into the hot pot plate by plate. She didn’t forget to remind Mag, “I’ll leave the tripe and duck intestine to you.”
“Alright. I promise I will make the most delicious tripe and duck intestine for you.” Mag picked up his long chopsticks with a smile, and began dipping a duck intestine in the boiling part of the hot pot.
The thinly sliced mutton roll and beef roll were swiftly cooked. Irina dipped them in the dipping sauce before popping them into her mouth.
The thinly sliced mutton cooled down a little in the dipping sauce before it was fed into the mouth. The temperature and texture were perfect.
Irina’s face had a satisfied smile as she picked up the beef roll and mutton roll quickly. She made a very soft and happy chewing sound. As long as she was fast enough, the mutton roll and beef roll in the hot pot would not get overcooked.
Mag dipped the cooked duck intestine in the dipping sauce before putting it into Irina’s small bowl.
Irina popped that duck intestine into her mouth, and made crunchy chewing sounds. Her pretty brows and eyes curved into crescents as she nodded, and said, “Yummy.”
