A MOON elf and an archdemon appeared at the entrance of the Forest of Darkness. The former looked like he just wanted things to be done and over with while the latter seemed to not really care much about what’s happening.

  Luo Yan glanced at Beelzebub who seemed to show a bit of interest when he realized where they were. He was currently alone with the guy because Shen Ji Yun teleported to the demon fox village to get Dusk. While he volunteered to teleport the archdemon to this place.

  He could see that Shen Ji Yun was opposed to him being alone with Beelzebub. But since he volunteered himself, the other probably knew he couldn’t really do anything about it. So, he could only teleport out of the tower on his own. Of course, not before he gave Beelzebub a very fierce glare. As if warning the other to not do anything to Luo Yan. And he found that kind of cute actually.

  The reason why he volunteered was because he had some questions that he wanted to ask the archdemon. He didn’t want to do that while the other was giving Dusk’s memories back. Or even after that. Because he wanted to get Beelzebub as far away from Dusk in the fastest way possible.

  Although, that probably wouldn’t happen the way he wanted it. Because Dusk would surely not have a very peaceful reaction once he met this guy and had his memories back.

  "Isn’t this the Forest of Darkness?" the archdemon said, not really asking anyone in particular. "If my memory serves me right, this is near the Duke of Spades territory. Should I pay him a visit later? I wonder if he would have something I could ’eat’."

  Luo Yan secretly rolled his eyes at that and just went straight to the thing he wanted to ask.

  "When I went to the chamber where your body was slumbering, the Dark Saint appeared right after. He said that one of his loyal followers warned him that an intruder would come to the chamber," he started. "Was that you?"

  That thing had been bothering him since the sudden appearance of the Dark Saint in that chamber. They were lucky that the bastard had a weird temperament. If it was a normal NPC and they received such a news, the first thing they would probably do was alert the whole island about the intruder. Then, their plan would definitely not go as smooth as it did.

  Well, it wasn’t really as ’smooth’, but at least it was something they were able to quickly solve. If something like what he mentioned happened, he wasn’t sure how thing would have turned out.

  Beelzebub acted as if he was thinking about Luo Yan’s question. "Ah, yes, I almost forgot about that since you succeeded in destroying Achaeus and killing the Dark Saint. The dark mage I was inhabiting before indeed contacted the Dark Saint this morning. Even though I could alter his memories of the times that I was controlling his body, there would be more or less some influence left in him.

  "The conversation we had yesterday most likely left a big impact on him. So, even though he couldn’t understand why, he just had this inkling feeling that someone was going to try and steal my real body. Of course, being loyal to the Dark Saint, he immediately reported that."

  Luo Yan felt irritated to the extreme. It also didn’t help that the other said that in a very nonchalant attitude. This bastard could really frustrate the hell out of anyone. If he didn’t know that this guy literally didn’t care about anyone except Alina, Luo Yan might have already suspected that he was doing this on purpose.

  "And you really didn’t warn us about that?" he asked, his annoyance showing in his voice.

  "Should I have?" the other responded as if he really didn’t think that he did something wrong by not doing so. "But everything turned out okay, right? It’s not really a big deal."

  Luo Yan stared at the archdemon as if the other was already a dead fish in his eyes. Really, if he had the ability and if the circumstance allowed it, he had already gutted this bastard. He kind of wished he just didn’t ask. That way, he wouldn’t be feeling like his blood vessels would pop out.

  He took a deep breath and just forced himself to calm down. These game devs really had talent in creating anger inducing NPCs. He decided to just ignore the other. But it seemed that the archdemon didn’t take the hint because the other spoke right after.

  "By the way, why are we meeting in this forest? Don’t tell me that kid actually lives here?"

  "Why do you care?" Luo Yan scoffed. "Are finally showing interest in your own son?"

  "Not really. I’m just curious, that’s all."

  Shit, could he smack this guy? Just once? - Luo Yan angrily. He didn’t notice that he had already raised his hand and was really just about to do that. But he stopped himself at the last second and put it back down.

  Instead, he warned, "Dusk, that’s the name your son if you’re ’curious’ as to who it was, will be meeting you fully conscious. He requested that of us because he probably wanted to see you face-to-face. I just wanted to remind you not to do anything to hurt him. Whether emotional or physical. Remember, your Alina wouldn’t be happy once she found out how you treated her son."

  Beelzebub’s expression finally changed. "Is that a threat?"

  That resting bitch face turned serious and Mana surrounded him, as if he was ready to attack Luo Yan if he just so much said the wrong answer.

  Somehow, that made Luo Yan very happy. Because, finally, he was not the only one who’s annoyed.

  As an answer, he smiled sweetly. "No, not really. Let’s just call it a reminder. After all, once Alina is fully healed, she would definitely want to meet Dusk. There’s no way she wouldn’t know what he had gone through."

  Before the archdemon could give any response, there was a distortion in the air – a sign that someone was about to teleport. A second later, Shen Ji Yun and Dusk both appeared from that distortion.
