Chapter 436 (2/2)
Sentias Hot Hammer rubbed his beard which looked almost like a curtain. “Maybe my face isn’t as eye-catching as my beard.”
Y’lisabet The Little Devils looked in amazement at the little mermaid who was jumping around and greeting the plates on the table. “What is that?” Y’lisabet asked.
Elisabeth Lil Pea aka fish raised their head and greeted the little girl. “Good afternoon to you too! Are you coming to rent a room at my house too?”
The little one had been familiarised with the business after following her landlord dad for some time.
That was how Elizabeth-Y’lisabet had had their historic meeting.
Meanwhile, Lily hadn’t done with Y’lisabet yet, she challenged her for another around of bone gnawing. “Let’s see who could finish the bone first.”
Hao Ren looked on, thinking to himself that the husky might be dumb in other aspects but when it comes to partying, she was all that and a bag of chips.
Zadamor seemed to have something to say from the beginning and now he finally broke his silence. “My king. Are you coming back this time to launch a counterattack?”
Everyone at the table suddenly quieted down. Even Lily who was excitedly gnawing her bone had stopped as her tail fluttered gently in the air. Nangong Wuyue let out a long sigh. “Considering the situation right now, you seem to have a good chance, Y’zaks.”
Y’zaks just smiled. Of course it was difficult for most people to tell whether Y’zaks was smiling or not, especially when he had a face like he had just got out from a brutal accident. But it didn’t matter. He was silent for a moment, before he shook his head rather unexpected to many and said, “No.”
Many were stunned. But Hao Ren nodded as if he had anticipated Y’zaks’ response because as early as in Cadessar, he had known Y’zaks through-and-through as a person—a firm, almost paranoid forward-looker while at the same time having a weird, devilish ‘knightly spirit’, he neither regreted his choice (even if it turns out that this choice does not work) nor would he be annoyed over the failure which was a fait accompli—he wouldn’t look back.
Zadamor thoughtfully lowered his head as if the answer wasn’t very surprising. On the other side of the table, a higher demon with a scar on his face exclaimed. “My king! What did you just say?”
“My work is over,” Y’zaks smiled. “It turns out that the task of uniting the world is not for a demon to do. The demon’s way of doing things isn’t suitable for the task. Maybe in the future there would be someone rising up to the job—the grand unification of all races is the way forward, and I believe sooner or later there will be a man who is better suited to the world than I was in.”
The demon who had a scar on his face was one of the veteran generals under Y’zaks. Hao Ren had remembered his name was Lamadenor who apparently belonged to a typical hawkish faction. When Y’zaks announced his decision, the general reacted intensely, the scar on his face had almost been torn open. “My king! How could you give up so easily? Are you going to abandon us? We’ve been waiting in that dimension for a year just for the moment when we could launch an counterattack. And you give yourself up?”
“No, I’m not going to give you guys up,” Y’zaks shook his head and exchanged a look with Hao Ren. After getting an affirmative nod from Hao Ren, he continued, “I will find a new place for you all to settle down. Everyone will move there. My affair with this world is over.”
Y’zaks paused and looked into Lamadenor’s eyes. He continued. “You must remember why I started the war in the first place—to travel to the stars. Now I have achieved that goal. As for this world… I’ve given it a push, and that’s all that a demon could do.”
Lamadenor still had something to say but Y’zaks waved and said, “Please sit down. This is my first meal with my daughter after a long absence. If you have anything more to say, we shall discuss it later.”
