“Errrr……”


  It was indeed awkward for the demons of the Ten Kings Palace to protect Irina and Alex. After all, when the two of them were wreaking havoc on this island, those demons from the Ten King’s Palace didn’t even dare to step out of their houses.

  “After all, we’re experiencing life now, so it’s better to keep a low profile.” Mag smiled. The top 10 demon tribes didn’t send their 10th-tier powerhouses to station them at this island. There were at most two, three 9th-tier demons doing a rotation. Irina alone could annihilate the whole group of them 100 times.

  “Alright.” Irina nodded. Pretending to be weak was such a boring thing to do.

  The Ten Kings Palace was located at the very center of Carapace Island, and it took up a huge area on its own. 10 great halls of different architectural styles were built to highlight the top 10 demon tribes’ strength and prestige.

  There were many demons applying for the protective amulets, and six long lines formed in front of the administrative hall. Mag made a quick scrutiny, and then joined the line that moved the fastest.

  Beautiful Irina and adorable Amy quickly attracted the attention of many demons. It was rare to see such a ravishing female demon on Carapace Island. Those coquettish succubi couldn’t even match up to 1% of her, and that little demon was also very adorable.

  As for Mag, who had a full beard, he was considered to be of small stature among the demons. He also didn’t look like he came from some powerful demon tribe, so he was ignored completely.

  “Hey, beautiful, come and drink with your big brother here.” A two-meter-tall armored demon who had bulging muscles and was covered with a layer of steel-like carapace leered at Irina. He even reached with his arm toward Irina in an attempt to pull her into his arms.

  All the demons were watching this scene with excitement. Many of them were tempted to try it themselves. Wasn’t such matter the most exciting and interesting on Carapace Island? A useless male demon had no means to protect a beautiful female demon.

  A cold gleam flashed through Irina’s eyes.

  Smack!

  Right at this moment, a pair of hands grasped that armored demon’s wrist.

  “Hmm?” The armored demon looked at Mag, who was grabbing his wrist, with a surprised expression. How dared this weak and small demon defy him? Furthermore, he had quite a big strength as he could actually grab his hand.

  “Why are you so promiscuous?” Mag looked at this 6th-tier armor demon with a frown.

  “I don’t know what you are talking about. But since you don’t have the protective amulet, there will be no problem even if I kill you. From today on, your wife and daughter will belong to me.” The armored demon grinned. His other hand had already formed a fist as he prepared to burst this fellow’s head with a punch.

  All the surrounding demons’ eyes widened. If that was the case, maybe they could take their share of the loot too.

  “So, in this case, it will be alright for me to kill you too,” Mag said thoughtfully. This was quite a good rule.

  “Haha. Kill me? You will never have that chance!” The armored demon smashed his fist toward Mag as he laughed maniacally.

  Smack!

  The iron fist that was as big as a sandbag was grasped by much smaller crayfish pincers.

  The armor demon was stunned, and he stared at that crayfish pincer and Mag with disbelief. He had stopped his punch!

  All the other demons were slightly taken aback too. A 6th-tier armored demon could already be considered as a powerhouse on Carapace Island. They didn’t expect this ordinary-looking demon could stop his punch.

  “You need to be more respectful to women, especially my woman,” Mag said to the armored demon with a serious expression.

  “I—”


  Bam!

  A pincer was already stuffed into the armored demon’s mouth as soon as he opened his mouth, and a punch sent him flying 100 meters away before he landed on the ground. His armor was shattered into pieces all over the ground. He didn’t get a chance to twitch.

  “Ssshhh!”


  All the demons sucked in a breath of cold air, and they looked at Mag with a completely different gaze now. Killing a 6th-tier demon with a single punch, this was a tough demon!

  “Why did you have to do that?” Mag took back the retrievable pincers that he custom-made with the system and sighed lightly. He only wanted to be protected by demons while maintaining a low profile, but his power wouldn’t allow him to do that.

  Mag’s gaze swept across all the surrounding demons, and they quickly moved their gazes away or lowered their heads. They also swiftly hid what they were thinking earlier on.

  Only cautiousness could ensure their long-term survival. This was the demons’ rule of survival.

  “Humph.” Irina snorted. If Mag hadn’t made a move first, she would have used the Holy Light to eradicate all these scumbags and tear down the Ten Kings Palace. She had done it once before.

  A demon getting killed in front of the Ten Kings Palace hadn’t caused a furor. The Ten Kings Palace only sent two demons who were wearing the Ten Kings Palace badges out to check on that armored demon’s corpse. After making sure he didn’t have a protective amulet, they simply called two demons randomly to get rid of the shattered corpse.

  The steel body armor was a rather good material. They could sell it for money after cleaning it simply. Hence, many demons were happy to take on this job.

  Watching that, Mag gained an even clearer understanding of Carapace Island’s cruelty.

  No demons dared to find trouble with Mag again after that happened. Meanwhile, because the protective amulet was for a shop, it was 10 times more expensive than a normal personal protective amulet. It would cost Mag 5000 copper coins per month.

  “This is really a good business.” Mag weighed the protective amulet in his hands. Just providing protection alone, the Ten Kings Palace could earn a lot of money from Carapace Island every year.

  “We could do this business too if we chased them away,” Irina said with anticipation. Compared to running a restaurant, she was far more interested in earning money in this method.

  “Low profile, low profile.” Resigned, Mag swiftly pulled Irina away from the vicinity of the Ten Kings Palace. Mag felt rather helpless about her love of seeking big trouble.

  After asking for a demon for directions, Mag quickly located the house that he’d bought that day.

  The house was located in the northwestern part of Carapace Island. If the center of the island was the First Ring Road, and the outer perimeter of the island was the Fifth Ring Road, then his property was located around the Third Ring Road. It was next to a not-too-bustling street with only a few shops and not many pedestrians[1].

  However, just like that minotaur demon had said, the property was big enough, and looked to be around 300 square meters. It was a two-story seashell house with a small garden in front. It matched his requirements, but the house was very poorly maintained and dilapidated, and the garden was overgrown. It seemed like it had been deserted for a long time.

  “Although it is a seashell house, are we really going to stay here tonight? I see so many bugs,” Amy said worriedly as she looked around the house on her tiptoes.

  “It’s alright. Father will transform it into a new house,” Mag said smilingly. He looked around to make sure there was nobody in the neighbors’ house before he clicked and summoned the mobile restaurant.
