Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mag was not sure if Josh would be at Rodu, but he knew that Andre had to be having a big headache.
The Roth Empire’s troops had committed several war crimes in the Twilight Forest, and that would definitely cause an uproar among the other races. That would force the Peace Alliance, which was initially made up of races of wavering stance, into becoming a closed-knitted group.
The orcs and elves, despite rather strong capabilities, had more than half of their land taken from them within a short span of a day. On top of that, more than 10 tribes were slaughtered. If the Roth Empire had targeted the dwarves or the goblins, the entire race would have been wiped out.
The Peace Alliance members had to work closely together and see the Roth Empire as their number one enemy due to its threat.
The Roth Empire might be strong, but Andre’s original plan was to form an alliance with the forest trolls and elves, and then maintain a certain level of harmony with the giant dragons before thinking of expanding.
If Josh was in Rodu, the first person to teach him a lesson would be Andre.

Rodu, in the royal study.
“Scoundrel!” Andre threw the emergency military report on the floor, and shouted, “Cordon off the army! Arrest all those involved in this for interrogation! Get Dominic to come back to see me now!”
“Yes!” The official left quickly after receiving the order.
All the courtiers in the royal study had their heads lowered in silence.
The Roth Empire’s army was deployed without the king’s orders, and even waged a war on the orcs and elves. This was a huge matter.
Control over the military was lost, and this was intolerable to the king. This meant that an uprising might start any time, and the empire might be moving towards its demise.
The courtiers present were all bewildered. Who would make so many people run the risk of losing their heads just to wage a war on the orcs and elves?
“Have you found Josh?” Andre asked his aide softly after walking out of the royal study.
“Your Majesty, we’ve yet to find the second prince. Everything in the second prince’s mansion seems normal, but no one knew where he went,” Andre’s aide replied quickly.
“What about the Magus Tower?” Andre asked with a frown.
“We’ve heard from the Magus Tower that the second prince did go there in the morning, but it was said that he only went to the library, and left soon after. However, after our investigation, we found out that the second prince did go to the army this morning, and those who were in contact with him are currently undergoing investigation.”
“Find him. There are some things I need him to explain to me face to face,” Andre said coldly.

The Twilight Forest. In front of a massacred tribe, the Peace Alliance representative team stood in silence.
“I think it’s time we get ready for a new racial war,” Louis said solemnly.
“Andre is challenging our lower limit. If we allowed him to do whatever he wanted, that would mean that the Peace Alliance was nothing but a joke,” the dwarf representative said angrily.
“Yes. We need to make the Roth Empire pay the price for what he did. Even the elves, who were their allies, were almost wiped out. They have already gone crazy.” The goblin representative nodded.
The various representatives were furious. They were shocked at what the Roth Empire had done, and all condemned its actions.
The word massacre had not appeared for a very long time because of the century of peace.
And right now, on the first day of the peace meeting, the Roth Empire had caused such a tragedy in the Twilight Forest, and had almost wiped out the east of the forest inhumanely.
“Right now, there is still a devil roaming around. According to the scene on the mural, the devil would become stronger in a massacre. That would be way scarier than war.” Rolan stood out as the representative of Chaos City, and interrupted the discussion.
Everyone fell silent, and their expressions changed.
“What we want to do is to stop war, and not engage in a fiercer war using a different method. This is not what the Norland Continent needs right now. Instead, it might cause even bigger trouble,” Rolan said.
“Yes. What’s the most important now is to find the hiding devil, and to prevent the Roth Empire from waging another war.” Louis nodded. He looked at everyone, and said, “The giant dragons will officially release a statement to the Roth Empire to warn them against waging another war with the Peace Alliance members. At the same time, we will request them to punish the persons who were involved in the massacre. I hope that all members can align with us in our actions and show the Roth Empire our stance.”

After coaxing the two little fellows to sleep, Mag went over to the city lord’s castle to pass Michael the photostone and tell him his conjecture.
“If that’s the case, I’m afraid things will get very complicated. I think Andre would never admit it, and it is not convincing with just the image of the corpses.” Michael’s brows were tightly-knitted together. “After all, Irina did not find anything wrong with Josh when she used the Holy Light on him.”
“It doesn’t matter whether Andre admits to it. As long as we can ascertain that Josh had something to do with the devil, we might be able to find the escaped devil on him, and that would be sufficient.” Mag’s expression was rather cold.
Michael nodded thoughtfully. “I will get all our spies to track Josh down.”
Mag nodded. He chatted with Michael for a while more before leaving.
The peace meeting was forced to stop halfway, and war had started again. This caused the Norland Continent to be embroiled in a terrible ordeal. This night, it was destined that many would not be able to sleep peacefully.
However, Chaos City was still bustling with life. The people had yet to realize what would happen, and they were still living as usual.
Mag returned to the restaurant, washed up, and slept.
The next morning, the alarm clock rang. Mag opened his eyes, shut the alarm clock, and got up.
After standing his customers up for two days, Mamy Restaurant should resume operations today.
“A new product launched this afternoon: roast goose!”
Mag wrote the notice on a small blackboard, and hung it on the door to quench the raging fury of the customers.
“Our luck’s not bad. It seems like we’re in for a treat today. Boss Mag has finally opened his doors,” Harrison told the sleepy Georgina after seeing the long line from afar.
“Huh?” Georgina blinked.
“Soybean milk and youtiao is the best breakfast combination. Add a bowl of tofu pudding, and you will have the perfect breakfast,” Harrison said with a smile.
“I like tofu pudding.” Georgina’s eyes lit up. Her sleepiness was dispelled all of a sudden. She pulled Harrison and sprinted towards Mamy Restaurant. The tofu pudding was a hot favorite, and she would not have any if she was late.
“Roast goose? It’s rare for Boss Mag to give the dish such a simple name. Now, how would he have roasted it?”
“Needless to say, he would definitely roast it to the ultimate goodness.”
“Boss Mag stopped work for two days to create the new product. There’s no need to doubt it. Charge and that’s all!”
The customers lining up at the door were already in a fervent discussion.
