“Hello, Sofey. ” With a faint smile, the unfamiliar man reached out his hand to Suo Fei, “I believe this is the first time we’ve met each other. I’m Linde. ”

Linde...

Suo Fei’s expression changed slightly, but he immediately calmed himself down. It turned out to be him. Oh right, there’s only a few people in Yalance who could contend with Samael’s strength.

Linde Murphy was absolutely one of them.

He was the King of the Demon Realm, the leader of the Demons, and the father of Abel Murphy.

It wasn’t that Suo Fei had not seen the Demon King in the Game. He had seen Linde before but not in this state. Nevertheless, his reputation had been widely spread all over Yalance. He was strong and powerful. Most importantly, his character was cunning and unfathomable.

Demons are innately vicious. Thus, more often than not, they were brash and lack rationality. Even most Primevals demons are bloodthirsty creatures. The arrogant and obstinate nature that was deep-rooted in their blood made it even more difficult for them to control their own powers.

And Linde, this Demon King, was an extremely unusual existence.

Or rather... If Suo Fei were to say it in modern terms, he could say that this person had dissociative identity disorder...

He had two entirely different personalities: One was incomparably rational while the other was extraordinarily crazy. The rational personality was courteous, had extremely high IQ and could devise plans slowly but surely. However, his fighting strength was greatly reduced.

The crazy personality was so crazy that real lunatics would be deeply ashamed. He was temperamental, severely unreasonable and bloodthirsty. His fighting strength was similar to an atomic bomb.

The Demon King that Suo Fei had met in the game was the latter. The Linde in his crazy state was vastly different from his current image, be it his appearance or his temperament. This was exactly why Suo Fei didn’t recognize who he was.

Suo Fei’s heart started to race upon this realisation. F**k, Linde was actually in his rational state when he was fighting with Samael. He was actually able to reach a draw with Samael while his fighting strength was greatly reduced.Sure enough, Samael’s strength still needs to be improved.

Samael only met Linde at a much later time in the game. At that time, he killed Linde and became the new king of the Demon Realm. Then, he attacked the Celestials and brought his belle back.

To have a 10P feast on the Demon Realm’s throne...

Well, thinking about it now, it’s merely a thing of the past.

Suo Fei withdrew his thoughts. He ignored the olive branch that Linde had offered and calmly said, “This isn’t the first time we met each other. You nearly killed me. This is a matter that I dare not forget. ”

Linde didn’t mind being so bluntly affronted. He withdrew his hand with a self-composed expression as if he didn’t hear what Suo Fei had said. Then, he diverted the topic.

“Your father wasn’t lying to you. Everything he said was true. ”

Suo Fei silently added another note on the rational Linde’s description: shameless.

Fortunately, Linde had not learned the mind-reading technique. Seeing Suo Fei being silent, he continued to say,

“All of us had lost our abilities to varying degrees. Whether it’s strength, explosive power, magic power or physique, all of it had deteriorated. If this is only the case, then it’s still not horrible. What’s horrible is that Yalance is too insatiable. The Celestials completely lost their ability to reproduce. The Elves’ lifespan had been reduced. The Demons’ rationality, the humans’ faith and the beastkins’ intelligence... All of it had been taken away. His goal is to devour us, but we must not sit still and wait for our deaths. ”

Compared to Grantlyn’s words, his words were more organised and even more rousing. He was a Demon. Demons, unlike Elves, weren’t bothered about things like glory, race and lineage. They were unrestrained, living as they wished. However, they valued their lives greatly.

His approach was even more direct and straightforward. Either resist, or die. Which one would you choose?

Suo Fei shut his eyes for a while, paying no heed to Linde. Then, he turned to Grantlyn. Staring at Grantlyn, he asked, stressing each word, “So, what do you want me to do? ”

His question was extremely blunt. Thus, the atmosphere abruptly became tense.

After a long while, Linde spread his hands wide open and helplessly replied to Suo Fei, “Child, you need to learn how to be allusive. This uncle is too old to bear such bluntness. ”

Suo Fei: F**k... Who’s this fool!

Nevertheless, his simple words dispelled the tension from before.

Grantlyn looked at Linde. He seemed to have already spent all of his lifetime’s patience today as he spoke in an ill manner, “I’ve already told you that this is just a waste of my time. ”

Linde appeased Grantlyn by saying, “You still had to try nonetheless. No matter what, it’s your son. But, who would have imagined that you had offended him so badly that there’s no way to vindicate yourself. ”

Then, he turned to Suo Fei and spoke with a faint smile, “Child, there shouldn’t be enmity between a father and son. Don’t hold grudges too long. ”

Suo Fei’s mouth twitched. He forcefully swallowed back the words ‘You’re the child! Your whole family are children....!’

Linde said with a sigh, “Since you can’t be persuaded using family affection, I’ll get right to the point. ”

We’re finally getting straight to the point.

Suo Fei was inevitably disdainful in his heart. If Grantlyn truly cared about Sofey Evans, he wouldn’t be indifferent towards him up until now.

Above all, Suo Fei also knew the original fate of Sofey Evans. He had been toyed with until the end. He was miserably toyed with until he was half-dead. In such circumstances, where was his father, Grantlyn? Suo Fei didn’t know.

So, when Grantlyn went to talk about his difficulties, Suo Fei nearly burst into laughter. Even if he had difficulties, even if he did it for the Elven race, for a virtuous cause, it was still an undeniable fact that he was heartless towards his son!

Dropping his pretense, Grantlyn directly asked Suo Fei, “What did Vixanne leave you? ”

Suo Fei was stunned for a while. Then, he understood.

It turned out to be this matter.

Sofey Evans was Grantlyn’s son. Although Grantlyn didn’t hold his son dearly, it was evident that he was well-aware of Sofey Evans’ past and had a clear idea about his situation.

Hence, when Suo Fei revealed his unordinary healing ability, he naturally associated it with Vixanne, thinking that Vixanne had left him something.

Suo Fei replied, “Mother had left me a lot of things. Haven’t you already taken them away?” He hadn’t seen his interspatial bag ever since he woke up. It was evident where it had gone to.

Grantlyn narrowed his eyes, “Don’t anger me. ”

Laozi isn’t scared! Suo Fei faced him without a trace of politeness, “Do you think you can get something from me with that attitude? In your dreams! ”

Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel again, Linde quickly intervened, “Stop. ”

Grantlyn coldly grunted but remained silent.

Suo Fei restrained himself, knowing that he was still inside the enemy camp.

Linde looked at Suo Fei and said, “Why don’t we go to my palace and have a seat? ”

Suo Fei decisively refused, “No. ”

Linde frowned but still spoke courteously, “Let’s stay here then” Before Linde could speak once again, Suo Fei already spoke, “I want to get my things back. ”

He continued, “Return my interspatial bag to me. Then, I would also give you what you want. ”

Seeing Linde remain silent, Suo Fei clearly stated his views, “Regardless of whether what you’ve said is true or false, I don’t care. Whether it affects the Elves, the Demons, your group, or even me, it doesn’t matter. ”

For such words to come out of a Pureblood elf, saying that he had committed high treason was an understatement.

Therefore, anger emerged in Grantlyn’s eyes once again. He was extremely enraged to have raised such a son.

However, Linde smiled meaningfully, “Child, you are very clever, and very fascinating...”

The rational Linde truly had a high IQ. He actually understood the implied meaning of Suo Fei’s words.

Suo Fei didn’t want to talk too much with them, nor did he want to know too much.

Grantlyn and Linde had spoken a lot. But in fact, they had not talked about the root of the matter. Moreover, they spoke of those things with a strong sense of righteousness, making it seem like they were only doing this for the benefit of all races and that it wouldn’t cause anyone any harm.

Hence, it didn’t matter if Suo Fei knew of those things. Regarding the detailed information, however, he couldn’t know about them even if he wanted to.

If Suo Fei knew, he only had two courses of action— either join Linde and Grantlyn’s group, or die.

The reason was simple. It was obvious what would happen if someone not on their side knew of their secret.

Hence, Suo Fei quickly interrupted what Linde was going to say and clearly stated his views.

He was creating a new possibility for himself.

Since Linde had discovered his intentions, Suo Fei hurriedly said, “Give me back my things. I will recite the magic spell God’s Healing for you. After that, please let me leave. ”

His words covertly admitted that he had what they wanted. Forgive me. But that God’s Healing... I hope that it’s not some kind of famous magic spell...

His words held great allure for Linde. The ability that Suo Fei had revealed was undoubtedly a powerful, instantaneous healing technique. And Suo Fei was now claiming that he owned this kind of spellbook.

In this way, Suo Fei first confirmed that he was not a unique existence, thus lowering his appeal towards Linde and the others. Then, he threw out this kind of bait.

Just think of this. Linde and the rest were a group, an organisation. If they had someone like Suo Fei who had a powerful healing technique, how formidable would they be? They would simply be unrivaled.

This was simply too tempting for a leader like Linde.

While Linde was pondering, Suo Fei pretended to casually say, “My magic affinity and magic power aren’t high so I can’t show the full power of this magic spell...”

The implication was that if the spell was used by a Celestial, who had the assistance of Holy Light, the ability would be even more outstanding. A weakling like Suo Fei could completely heal Samael who was on the brink of death in an instant. How powerful would it be if it was used by a Celestial who was way stronger than him?

Suo Fei continued to persuade them by putting on a sad expression and saying, “That interspatial bag was given to me by mother. I can give you the spellbook, but please return to me my interspatial bag. That was the last thing my mother had given me. ”

His voice choked up slightly as he continued, “I understand everything that you’ve told me, but I can’t let go of the past. Grantlyn, towards me.... was too much. I can’t work together with him. He is my father, but he had never regarded me as his son. I don’t trust him. I would never be able to trust him. So, please let me leave. ”

Suo Fei lowered his head, his posture making him seem more pitiful.

He had already said this much. This was already his limit. His attitude was already extremely clear. Moreover, it was specifically aimed at Linde, this kind of schemeful exalted person.

They were silent for a long time.

Linde walked towards Suo Fei and raised his chin. His voice wasn’t as frivolous and relaxed as before, but was deep and resounding instead, “Sofey, you’re too clever. Therefore, I can’t believe you. ”

Suo Fei’s heart thumped. He had underestimated Linde. This guy is too intelligent!

He was actually able to restrain himself facing such a huge temptation.

At this moment, Suo Fei had somewhat lost his calm.

Linde moved closer to him, his breath warm against his face as he vaguely said, “Child, you’re really fascinating. ”

The unfamiliar scent made Suo Fei feel terrified.

Then, a loud sound filled the air.

Panic spread and screams rang out one after another.

The black building was actually being cleaved open. Dazzling rays of light streamed from above. It was bright, which was never seen before in the Demon Realm.

Suo Fei looked up and saw flames. Within the flames was a figure holding a sword, so dazzling that people were unable to move their eyes away.
