Chapter 556 - Zacharite's Secret
Although Zacharite was weakened due to being exiled and sealed in the past, it didn't mean that he was weak enough to be pushed around. He was still the former captain of the demons, and that wouldn't change.
Flesis was only a subordinate under his command in the past and he usually push him around like a helpless rat. But now, he was made the new captain of the demon troops. How low did the Great Hell fall to give this incompetent being this important position?
"If you have the guts, kill me. Let's see how many Great Demons will chase after you." Flesis snorted. He could still speak even after being pierced, "You are quite wanted by some Great Demons around. If you stick longer, they will know you are here immediately and go here."
"Great Demons or whatnot, I don't care." Zacharite smiled, "There is one thing I want. I want to meet Great Demon Baal."
Great Demon Baal was the overall overlord of the Great Hell. He was deemed to be the strongest Great Demon and the reason why the powerhouses of the Upper Immoral didn't dare to attack this place and bite the pie.
Rumors said that he was the one who created the Great Hell and one of the ancient beings who lived for billions of years now.
Thus, with his status, how could he be met so casually?
"Do you think you are still the captain to order me around?" Flesis smirked, "Not to mention, even if you are the captain, you still don't have the qualifications to meet His Highness."
"I know that you cannot bring me there. With your puny status, how can you?" Zacharite laughed, "I'm just saying what is my purpose of coming here. Anyway, I'll let you off for now. Consider this as my mercy and my blessing. If you dare to ever show your face in front of me again, you will die."
"Poof!" Zacharite let go of the rod he was, holding and disappeared from Flesis' sight together with Jin Rou.
After healing his wound, Flesis cursed under his breath and shouted, "How dare that exiled bastard do this to me!"
Flesis thought that he already overcame the shadow called Zacharite. But deep within his heart, it wasn't actually the case. He just assumed that it was.
"The next time I see you, it will be me who will bring you death and humiliation. I swear that to the heavens." Flesis said with deep voice. He was serious in getting revenge and not minding the other party's warning.

"Where are we?" Jin Rou was suddenly taken to a place where it was filled with big black trees. He could feel the thick energy of chaos surrounding this place. Compared to Hera's Domain, that place was nothing.
"This is my secret place during my time here." Zacharite explained, "During the crisis, I hid here and no one ever discovered me."
"So why are we here?" Jin Rou asked again, "Did you hide something here and you want to retrieve it?"
"Bingo, Your Majesty." Zacharite smiled as million of expressions flashed his eyes which didn't escape Jin Rou's observation, "Although it won't be any of help to us but it's a memento from a very special demon to me."
Jin Rou didn't ask again this time. It seemed that demons could also fall in love with each other. No, to be exact, it seemed that they also knew the word love.
Zacharite stopped by a different tree. Jin Rou didn't notice it a while ago since it was covered by giant trees. It was colored white and a small one. Jin Rou observed it and found out that it was actually with light affinity.
The demon dug by the side of the white tree for three minutes until a bracelet made of tree branches was seen. Jin Rou saw this and found out that there was nothing particular or hidden in the bracelet. It was just a wooden normal bracelet.
Zacharite held the bracelet with extra carefulness and affection. If it was seen by any demons around, they wouldn't believe that this demon who used to slaughter countless innocents in the past could make this kind of expression.
Jin Rou didn't say anything and just stood there closely. He could feel the longing of this demon for someone.
Silence ensued. No one talked. But the silence wasn't uncomfortable, it was the type where it would bring you comfort and serenity.
"This is made by my daughter." After a long silence, Zacharite opened his mouth, "She carefully made this for days for me."
Who would think that he had a daughter? Even Jin Rou was surprised. He thought that it was from his lover or whatnot.
"She made this with all her heart, so I have to carefully treasure it." The demon hugged the bracelet and softly said, "This is my baby girl's... my poor baby girl's..."
Jin Rou stood there without saying something. He was just earnestly listening to the soft sobs that this demon was creating.
"That bastard Baal." Then suddenly, Zacharite's aura changed. It was filled with killing intent, "If not for him, my daughter would have survived it! It is because of that bastard!"
So there was blood feud between the two. Jin Rou didn't know who this Baal was, but he expected that he would be strong.
"I will kill that bastard. No, first he has to beg forgiveness for letting my daughter die! For letting my precious little girl die!" Zacharite was turning hysterical. His emotions were getting out of hand and getting the better of him.
"Enough." Thus, Jin Rou had no choice but to speak, "If you keep on doing that, the bracelet will break. Do you want that to happen?"
Zacharite consciously looked at the bracelet with horrified expression. Fortunately, the bracelet wasn't damaged yet.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. You have seen an uglier side of me." The demon knelt and beg for forgiveness. It was rude to talk like that in front of an existence like Jin Rou, so he kowtowed.
