“So what if that’s the case!” Roen roared, “I love her! You ruined everything I had, you destroyed Isabella, destroyed our home, I’ll make you pay… ahhhhhhhh!”
Yinan raised his sword, ready to finish him off, but in the next instant, he was engulfed by that black aura.
The black aura was like countless greedy tentacles, madly wrapping around Yinan’s body…
“This is bad!” Nieve shouted, “This guy’s resentment is too intense, he’s attracting the Demon King…”
Demon King!?
Everyone was stunned when they heard Nieve’s cry, a chill running through their hearts.
The black aura around Roen’s body gradually condensed into a human silhouette…
“My, I never thought a human could explode with such overwhelming hatred.” The shadow gradually transformed into a woman.
She stood nearly two meters tall, her magnificent curves so enticing that one couldn’t help but want to dive into her embrace.
She wore a revealing, black, tight-fitting outfit that outlined her figure perfectly; her long, slender legs looked even more toned and powerful wrapped in that suit, and a small black tail swayed behind her.
The neckline of her outfit plunged extremely low, and her wheat-colored skin made people want to sneak a peek at the mysterious gem hidden within.
White hair flowed down her back, red pupils gleamed, and her exquisite features and alluring red lips made it impossible not to desire a kiss!
In short, she was like a supercar with a powerful engine!
Her appearance made everyone present shudder; the oppressive force she brought was almost physical, crushing everyone until they struggled to breathe.
It was as if the air instantly froze, and each person could hear the violent pounding of their own heart…
Some nobles even dropped to their knees right then and there, unable to control themselves…
The witch glanced at Yinan. “Little guy, did you do something to earn the wrath of heaven and man?”
Within the black aura, Yinan raised his head. He saw a 0% indicator above her head, and a greedy light flashed in his eyes.
This woman… is amazing! Absolutely stunning!
Tiffany noticed that this handsome human, half a head shorter than herself, was not only unafraid of her but even dared to size up her figure. This made her curl her lips in a wicked, seductive smile.
She swayed her hips, slowly approaching Yinan, her unique fragrance growing ever stronger, making Yinan unconsciously take a few more breaths.
Tiffany circled behind Yinan, lifting his chin. “Little guy… even now, what are you thinking about? Seems you don’t realize just how dangerous your situation is…”
Her hand slowly stroked along Yinan’s body, from his chin down to his chest, making a tingling numbness spread through him.
Tiffany leaned in close, her breath brushing his ear, “Come on, tell me—what exactly did you do…”
“Nothing much.” Yinan flashed a grin, seemingly unfazed by her. “Just killed a pair of siblings, that’s all…”
At Yinan’s nonchalant reply, Roen, standing nearby, suddenly opened his eyes wide in bloodshot rage. The black aura around him surged like a furious tide. “AHHHHHHH!!! I’LL TEAR YOU TO PIECES!”
“Oh?” Tiffany ignored Roen, her fingertip tracing along Yinan’s throat, the cool sensation making him sigh with appreciation. “What an interesting little fellow…”
“I am Tiffany, the Witch of Wrath, one of the Seven Demon Kings…” Tiffany licked Yinan’s cheek. “I hope you keep providing me with such excellent sacrifices… Otherwise… I’ll come for you, and eat you up…”
With that, Tiffany waved her hand. Roen slowly faded away, vanishing without a trace, and Tiffany herself disappeared as if she’d never been there…
Yinan stood frozen. If not for the lingering, warm, sweet sensation on his cheek, it would have felt like everything that had just happened was nothing but a bizarre dream.
“Tiffany…? Amazing!” Yinan murmured the witch’s name, then swept his gaze over the crowd, who were all pale with fear, and revealed a satisfied look. “Shouldn’t we start looting now?”
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes; the horrifying events he’d just experienced seemed not to have left him in awe, but instead awakened the evil deep within his heart.
Everyone stared in disbelief, unable to accept that this scoundrel, having just been targeted by the legendary Witch of Wrath, still had the nerve to think about looting!?
But the nobles slowly regained their composure, greed surfacing in their eyes as well…
The fat pig noble was the first to respond. He rubbed his hands together, plastering a fawning smile on his face. “Lord Yinan, you’re right, this is an opportunity we can’t afford to miss…”
The other nobles followed suit, crowding around and chattering about how to ‘coordinate’ taking the commoners’ money…
“Don’t be hasty, everyone…” Yinan flashed a grin. “First, let’s kill that damned traitor!”
At his words, everyone paused, then confusion appeared on their faces.
A mustached old noble glared in disbelief…
That bastard? Waiting till now to betray us, settling scores after the fact!?
He had planned to play both sides, but now he was left dumbfounded! Still, he tried to keep up the act…
But when Yinan looked at him with a half-smile, he knew he was finished!
“Miss Nieve…” The mustached noble dropped to his knees, clinging to the hope offered by the kind goddess. “Spare me!”
Nieve shot Yinan a meaningful glance, then maintained her persona as the benevolent goddess and pleaded for his life. “This matter…”
“Splurt!”
Yinan got the message and promptly beheaded the traitor with a single swing.
“Miss Nieve, I’m sorry. I know you are kindhearted, but keeping a traitor like him is always a threat. For the safety of everyone, I had no other choice,” Yinan said softly, trying to explain his actions.
Nieve stared at the corpse on the ground, nausea twisting in her stomach. She forced herself not to look away, her eyes full of complex emotion. “I… I understand your concerns, Baron Yinan. But I hope you won’t act so rashly again!”
“Yes!” Yinan grinned, bowing. “I have always been your most loyal follower, Miss Nieve. Your kindness and wisdom have always guided me forward, and I will follow your will as my guiding principle!”
The nobles saw Yinan behead yet another noble, and couldn’t believe it!
Since when had the lives of nobles become so worthless!?
But there was no time to care about that now. Everyone ordered their soldiers to go door-to-door, collecting the money.
Just then, the Violet Watch finally arrived at the scene. Luo Ling apologized to Yinan—after all, infantry really couldn’t catch up to cavalry, but they’d tried their best…
All the cavalrymen who had covered Roen’s escape were slain right there!
“My little fox…” Yinan helped the kneeling Luo Ling up, and nipped at her fluffy ear. “You did very well already.”
Luo Ling’s cheeks turned slightly pink, a trace of shyness in her eyes. “L-Lord… there are so many people watching…”
