Chapter 258 Meeting Magical Beasts
"Kill them! I want you to kill them now." the 3-star puma did not have a skill similar to Lie Detection magic, so he told Henry to kill all the city guards to prove that he was not lying.
"Henry, are you sure you want to betray us?"
"Henry, have you forgotten that you are also a citizen of Nightshire city?"
"Henry, we won't report this to city mistress if you change your mind now."
"That's right."
"Yes, we will forget everything, including what you just said."
Of course, the city guards were lying when they said this.
Henry wanted to work together with the magical beasts to destroy their city, so they would not forgive him no matter what.
They had to survive first to report his betrayal, so they decided to lie to him.
"What an easy condition!" After saying that, Henry retrieved his staff from his space ring.
He did not care about the city guards because he saw all the citizens and city guards as his enemies.
"Exploding Fireball." Henry attacked the city guards with his magic.
"Agghh…"
"Agghh…"
"Agghh…"
"Agghh…"
The city guards cried out in pain when their bodies were burned by fire.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One by one, their bodies exploded, leaving nothing.
"Gagaga." The 3-star puma was pleased by Henry's actions. "Alright, follow me. I will bring you to my lord now."
Henry looked at his subordinates before finally returning his attention to the puma and nodding his head.
'Good! Everything is according to the plan.'

City Guard Headquarters, Training Ground.
Ace was currently teaching the citizens how to use a bow.
Scarlett asked him to help Colonel Louie teach archery to the citizens, so he headed to the training ground after checking out the restaurant.
"Josh, you are talented with a bow." Ace uttered.
"Really?" Josh said happily.
"Yes." Ace nodded his head. "I'm sure you can kill many magical beasts later."
Ace nodded his head as he smiled.
"I will do my best to kill as many magical beasts as possible later." Josh said with determination.
Ace nodded his head as he smiled.
'It's a pity that he is not an awakener.'
Based on Josh's talent, he believed Josh would be strong if he were an awakener.
As Ace was talking with Josh, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Big brother Ace…" Alena rushed toward him with a big smile on her face.
Even though they had only known each other for a day, they were already close because they had fun together yesterday.
"Alena?" Ace smiled softly before finally carrying her.
"What are you doing?" Alena asked curiously.
"I'm teaching them how to use a bow." Ace gave an honest answer.
"Am I disturbing you?" Alena threw another question at him.
"Of course, not." After saying that, Ace walked toward a chair before finally sitting on it.
As Ace was talking with Alena, Lexie walked toward them with a smile on her face.
She was happy.
She was thrilled because Alena was always in a good mood since she knew Ace.
She even kept talking about Ace last night, to the point that it felt like they had known each other for a long time.
After sitting next to them, Lexie kept staring at them.
She did not say anything as if she only wanted to look at them, nothing more than that.
'He is like her big brother.'
Her face blossomed into a smile as she looked at them.
"Hmm? What is it, Lady Laxie?" Ace asked curiously when he noticed her smile.
"You are like her father, Ace." At this moment, Lexie misspoke.
She wanted to say he looked like Alena's older brother, but her mind and mouth were not in sync.
Ace's lips curled up into a smile.
'Like her father?'
A great idea to tease Lexie suddenly appeared in his mind.
He brought his face closer to Lexie's right ear before finally whispering, "Does that mean you want to be my woman?"
Even though Lexie was not Alena's mother, but she was the one who took care of Alena because Alena's parents had died.
This was the reason why he said something like that because it could be said Lexie was like Alena's mother now.
Lexie was startled by his words.
'His woman?'
She did not expect him to tease her again.
"What a playboy!" Lexie smiled as she pinched his right cheek.
To her surprise, Alena removed her hand from his cheeks. "Auntie Lexie, you can't hurt big brother."
Lexie widened her eyes in surprise.
Unlike Lexie, Ace smiled happily.
"Alena is the best. You understand big brother well." After saying that, Ace kissed Alena's cheeks.
"Hehe." Alena laughed happily.
Lexie's surprised face turned into a smile.
'It seems like she really likes him.'

Framingburns Forest, Underground Cave.
Magical beasts had a hidden meeting room. The hidden meeting place was located in an underground cave.
Even though the chairs and other items were made of stone, they looked amazing. It was as if the cave was built as a tourist attraction, not a meeting room.
"You want to cooperate with us in destroying Nightshir City?" Dezmavas uttered.
There were two people and five magical beasts in that place. Their names were Henry, Liam, Dezmavas, Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar.
Henry was not allowed to bring all of his subordinates, so he only took Liam with him because he was his trusted and strongest subordinate.
Of course, Liam was not sitting on the stone chair.
He was Henry's subordinate, so he stood behind him, protecting him from behind.
"Yes." Henry responded.
"Young lord, I don't believe him. What if he is a spy sent by them?" Zelphar did not believe Henry completely because he was human and also a citizen of Nightshire City.
"That's right, young lord." Eldrin added. "He is human, so we should not believe him immediately."
Pyria and Vianola nodded their heads, giving a sign that they agreed with Eldrin.
Henry was not surprised or panicked because he had guessed this before. "If you have magic or skills to detect lies, you can use them now. I don't mind."
"Then I will use my skill and ask some questions." Dezmavas had a skill similar to lie detection magic.
Its name was Lie Perceiving skill.
Lie Perceiving skill was like a lie detector machine.
By using this skill, he could detect typical stress responses when lying, such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rate.
Even though this skill was not as good as lie detection magic, but it was still a good skill.
"Do you really want to cooperate with us in destroying Nightshire city?" Dezmavas threw his first question.
"Yes." Henry responded.
"Why do you want to destroy Nightshire city?" Dezmavas threw his second question.
"I hate them all." Henry told them about what Ace and the citizens had done to him.
He also said he lost his children because of them. His desire to destroy the Nightshire city and kill all the citizens was as big as the sky.
He would not stop until his goal was achieved because he wanted to avenge his children.
After throwing several questions at Henry, Dezmavas looked at Vianola and the others. "He is not lying."
"So, how is it? Do you agree to work together to destroy Nightshire City with me?" Henry inquired.
