Chapter 1157: Roy On Extremely Thin Ice
"Roy, of all places you could be at, why are you here!?!" Jacqueline inquired.
"I'd like to ask that to you too." Roy frowned and asked.
While the two bickered, the man in black suit, Lucas, took his strides towards Lith and kneeled down. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, I come with a message from Her Majesty."
"Hm?" Lith turned to look at him, putting his teacup down.
Getting his attention, Lucas said, "Her Majesty has asked to inform His Highness that…"
Lith would not be able to contact Lilith for one year, she was going out for some work. If he wanted something, he could ask Qingyue or Bella, they would be able to resolve most of his queries.
"…and Her Majesty had asked this one to be His Highness' guide for his coming endeavors."
Lucas stated the final point.
For the most part, he was deemed useless by Lilith. The only way he could be of some use was if he helped Lith fight against the Evure God Clan. Though, Lilith was confident that he could do it even without Lucas's help, she still gave Lucas a chance to redeem himself and prove that he was worthy.
Lith listened to everything he had to say and in the end, asked, "Do you know your way around the EGC's territory?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Lucas answered swiftly.
"Okay. I'll summon you if there's a need. Join those guys until then." Lith pointed at Kenny's table.
Lucas gave him a respectful bow again and left.
By now, Roy had settled down and understood what the entire situation was. He talked with Jacqueline through soul transmission which was faster and efficient.
When he was done, he looked at Lith with a baffled look and wondered who even was he.
There was no youngster in the clan with a Legendary Rank Devil as a subordinate!
Not to mention, he even had ties with the Qing Mei Sect's sect master!
No, saying ties would be an understatement.
The way he was calling her so affectionately and the way the sect master was so submissively acting around him… there was something more going on than what the eyes could see.
Even if one held Roy's collar and slapped him multiple times to shove this reality down his throat, he wouldn't believe them. But looking at things through his own eyes… Roy didn't know anymore.
If the Qing Mei Sect decided to back this boy up, the clan would surely be threatened.
If these guys clubbed themselves with the Asuras who were already attacking them… their demise was inevitable, no matter what they did.
Sure, they were a clan full of all elemental affinity Legendary Ranks, but that was it. They weren't above this rank, but capped here. There was a limit to defending themselves.
Roy had visions of future at the white suit man's office. He was shown the imminent threat the clan possessed and rushed to the source as soon as possible to pluck off the problem from the roots.
However, now that he was looking at the problem…
Let alone pluck it from the root, he couldn't even touch or think about solving the problem.
It really was too late.
There was no way Roy was making out alive from this place. He was sure that if he tried to inform the clan, the people here would kill him before he could even connect with the clan.
Just breathing wrongly could make all swords point at his throat, he really had to be decisive and careful.
Roy heaved a deep sigh of despair. He clutched his head and glanced at the red-haired Devil and the seductive because of the Qing Mei Sect.
Since he was out of ideas, his mind wandered off to gazing at the beauties around the table.
Now that Roy looked carefully, everyone around the table was an absolute beauty, definitely on par with the prettiest and sexiest ladies of the clan.
'Ugh… what am I even thinking of…'
Roy cursed himself.
Shaking these useless thoughts aside, he glanced at the other people in the room.
There were three heads lying lifeless on the ground. They belonged to the 12th Pillar and his two Legendary subordinates Old One and Old Two.
Other than them, on another table, there was a living person, grotesquely mashed into a transparent box. He was probably in great agony as he looked around at everyone peacefully going about their businesses as if everything was normal.
After connecting the dots, Roy made out that he was probably the Lord of this world.
Sigh… such a beautiful world was now captured by fiends from an unknown clan.
Gazing at Roy, who was looking around at everything, Lith asked, "So… what are you here for, Mr. Roy?"
Lith was relaxed and leaning back on his chair as he asked that, unlike Roy who was completely tense.
Roy looked at Lith and for a second was at a loss for words.
The body language of Lith's was quite casual and the way he spoke contained such authority and dominance that it could definitely be mistaken as arrogance if one wasn't as experienced as Roy.
The people from his clan would definitely take offense if Lith spoke like this to them.
Sighing, Roy said, "I had to come here because that lady won't stop attacking me. I couldn't run away or defeat her, so the only choice was diplomacy."
Roy was surprisingly honest. Even he found it a bit unbelievable, but everything was against him as of this moment. If he did even a single thing wrong, he was a dead man.
Keith and Qingshan calmly took a sip of tea and glanced at Roy from the edge of their cups, like predators waiting to capture their prey.
Lith gave Roy a curt nod. "So tell us, Mr. Roy, why should we not kill you? I'm sure Jacqueline must've briefed you on everything."
Roy felt a cold sweat trickle down his back as heard that.
Why did this young boy's words sound so cold? What was this fucker even made of to have such an authoritative voice!?!
The tension was high once again and everyone was staring at Roy.
The handsome man felt his neck to be under a guillotine. At any moment his head could be separated from his body.
Roy collected his words and was about to answer when suddenly…
Rumble… Rumble…
The ground beneath everybody shook, making everyone raise their guards up.
A second later.
BOOOOOM—!
A few meters away from Lith, dangerously close to Kenny's table where Shi was about to stuff himself with a piece of bread, his chair shot up in the air along with him as something exploded from beneath.
"Yaaaaaaaa…" Shi's distant shout reached everyone's ears.
"Iyaaaaaa…" a familiar feminine voice was then heard.
Squinting his eyes, Lith saw a white lab coat flying off and then a green-haired girl who was desperately clutching her skirt as she flew up in the air.
"Master heeeellll…ppp…p…"
Lith knitted his eyebrows and said, "What even is this girl upto…"
