Chapter 458: Chapter 206 Preserved the Original Flavor, Authentic_2
"The Knight’s abilities are very strong; I suggest we first gather intelligence and then target his weaknesses," said Guyin, dressed as a gentleman.
"The former Death Knight was indeed powerful, but his strength is now divided in two. The current successor has just received Shadowmare; he cannot be our opponent."
Marius glanced at Guyin with contempt: "Your cowardice will only bring shame to your master!"
Guyin, unperturbed, looked towards a lady in a black evening gown swaying beside him: "Juliet, what do you think, should we ambush the Death Knight with Marius, or gather intelligence with me?"
Juliet lifted her wide-brimmed hat, revealing a face that was both seductive and noble, the corners of her black lips curling up slightly: "It’s not often I come to the human realm, so let’s not rush into work. I plan to enjoy myself first."
"Two useless fools!"
With a cold snort, Marius turned and stepped into the thick fog, disappearing into the darkness.
"Good luck, Marius, and I hope you can deliver a shock from Hell to the Death Knight," said Guyin, placing one hand on his chest, a gentleman watching cannon fodder depart.
He then turned to Juliet, extending his hand in invitation: "Juliet, would you like to enjoy the luxuries of the human world with me?"
"No, thanks, you’re too dangerous..."
Juliet then turned into the darkness, also vanishing without a trace.
"That’s fine; it’s better to act on our own than to constantly guard against each other."
Seeing this, Guyin sighed. Devils are such, that even with the same mission, they do not trust each other.
Furthermore, there’s another reason for their separation.
The masters of the three Familiars, in order to appease the anger, were willing to cede part of their territories and signed an additional clause.
The contract stipulates that the human realm is jointly owned by the Devil Alliance.
The additional clause specifies that the three Familiars, arriving early, cannot develop faith for their masters in the human realm.
Just as forming an alliance is to better prepare for betrayal, so is an agreement in principle.
Devils all have low moral standards, and contracts are the only proof of trust they have with one another.
It is both a restraint and a liberation!
Simple contracts can be interpreted in many ways, while complex contracts have many loopholes. Devils of low morality always find excuses and reasons to fulfill contracts and achieve their purposes.
Guyin had another task from his master, and he believed Marius and Juliet did as well. The three Familiars were destined to act alone; there was no need to hold on to each other.
"But first..."
Guyin looked in the direction where Marius had disappeared and blended into the darkness: "You and your master are fools. I’ll borrow your head to test how much Divine Power the Death Knight still possesses."

Commercial Street, Dawn Detective Agency.
A tall figure stepped up to the door of the Detective Agency, looked at the pitch-black shop, crushed the door lock with his hand, and strode inside.
In Hell in the morning, and at the crime scene by night, the Devil’s execution power is evident.
Had it been a virtuous character, they would still be in a meeting right now!
"It’s not even dawn yet, closing up in the middle of the night, Death’s faith is too lazy."
Marius couldn’t find the base of the Death Church; unlike the Life Alliance, Death and darkness had not taken hold in Lundan, and any uprisings were suppressed by the Life Alliance.
Setting aside the darkness, not to mention the two Knights of Death, the Dawn Detective Agency is the only Death force that has gained momentum in Lundan, with its fair and just faith having a market there.
Soon, an alarm triggered by the Detective Agency’s magic sounded, and two Mages from the Death Church came to investigate.
Boom!
Two Black Robe figures were sent flying out, crashing heavily onto the ground, their boneless bodies twisted into knots, bleeding profusely, evidently not long for this world.
"Who are you?"
Ah Bo, having heard the commotion and with a fierce look in his eyes, was furious at the sight of his subordinates’ deaths. Suppressing his anger, he asked the identity of the provocateur rationally.
"And who are you?"
Marius sized up the undead before him: "I’m not interested in small fry, tell the Death Knight to come see me, say a Devil is looking for him."
A Devil again?
Ah Bo was speechless; first the so-called Thousand-Eyed Demon, now this mysterious Devil, all coming uninvited to see his master. Just how many Devils were hiding in Lundan?
With the experience from last time, Ah Bo knew this Devil was doomed. His master might not look reputable, but he was definitely a good person; the Thousand-Eyed Demon was proof of that.
As usual, he said, "I’m the servant of the Death Knight; I can contact my master. Go to the Grand Cemetery in the West District and wait. When my master wishes to see you, he will appear."
"What an arrogant servant."
Marius laughed heartily, full of disdain: "I want to see him now, have him come immediately!"
"Just who are you, really?"
Ah Bo narrowed his eyes, sensing that the newcomer meant no good, and different from the previous Thousand-Eyed Demon, this Devil had come to cause trouble.
"Tell your master that my name is Marius, and I have come specially for him from Hell."
"Wait then..." freёwebnoѵel.com
Ah Bo turned around, tipping his hat: "In three days, I’ll convey your request to my master. If you’re lucky, you’ll see him in ten days."
Marius sneered, his figure lightning-fast as he instantly appeared behind Ah Bo, with a swing of his huge fist he pinned Ah Bo to the ground.
With a splash, water splattered everywhere.
Marius looked at the wet ground by his foot, his brow slightly raising: "An interesting Magical Being, it appears that the Death Knight’s power has not diminished, but..."
Ordinary stuff!
Such weak Magical Beings, even a million of them would not suffice for him to slaughter.
Marius’s thoughts scattered, he locked onto the fleeing Ah Bo and bolted after him as swift as lightning.
In the sewers below, Ah Bo merged with the water, speeding to the Grand Cemetery in the West District as fast as he could, while also contacting his master to report the Devil’s intrusion into the Dawn Detective Agency.
