Ashroth looked at Max deeply, killing intent flickering in his eyes. But his love and concern for Amara's safety was stronger than his killing intent for Max.
He nodded his head, a solemn expression on his face. "If I find out you lied to me, I'll make your life worse than death. You'd want to die, but death won't come for you."
Max cringed at his words but didn't say anything.
Ashroth then extended his hand and coldly demanded, "Give your spatial ring to me."
Max nodded. Taking off his ring, he threw it at him, which made Ashroth narrow his eyes.
"You aren't allowed to come out until she is back."
After saying this, Ashroth walked out and sat down on the sofa in the main hall.
Max shrugged and lay on the bed, waiting.
…
Whoosh!
Amara landed in front of Beille's shop before rushing inside.
The two female demons wanted to stop her, but when they saw who she was, they kept silent.
Amara directly rushed to the back of the shop to Beille's private room.
Bang!
She opened the door without knocking.
Beille was leisurely lying on the sofa, eating black grapes.
When Amara suddenly barged in, she revealed a radiant smile and giggled, "Hehe, my lovely niece. How come you are here again? Did you find out that I'm going away so you came to meet me?"
Amara directly ignored what she said and asked, "Aunty, do you know what happened yesterday? Was there any news detrimental to my brother?"
Sigh!
Beille sighed when she heard this.
She sat up and with a serious expression on her face, she said, "There was news that one of Osmont's uncle is among the king ranked demons leading the army and he will be one of the two in-charges of the division in which both Osmont and Ashroth are."
"This… why… do they really want to kill my big brother?" Amara's expression paled when she heard this. Without her knowing, wisps of blood red energy started leaking out of her body, permeating the room.
When Beille noticed the wisps of energy, her expression became stern. She released her aura and shouted, "Amara! Snap out of it!"
Boom!
Amara was hit with her aura wave and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood. The wisps of blood red energy also stopped coming out of her.
She wiped the blood from her lips and glared at Beille and asked indignantly, "Are you trying to kill me?"
Seeing that she had regained her senses, Beille smiled, "No. Why would I want that?"
"Then why would you attack me all of a sudden?" Amara asked. Her smile incensed her.
Beille stopped smiling and seriously said, "You don't know what you were doing? Remember, now that you've awakened your bloodline, if you don't control your emotions properly and let your bloodline energy erupt recklessly like before, you will lose your mind and turn into a mindless demon."
"You mean… earlier I…" Amara revealed a fearful expression when she heard this.
Beille nodded, "Yeah. You were going berserk. Fortunately, I was here to help you. If not, things might have turned ugly."
"Thank you, aunty. I'll be careful in the future." Amara gratefully nodded. Then, remembering what she heard a moment ago, she became silent, a worried expression appearing on her face.
Seeing this, Beille gently smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. I'll go with the first army and look out for Ashroth."
"What?" Amara asked in disbelief. She thought she heard it wrong.
Beille smilingly nodded, "Yes."
"But you never involve yourself in such matters." Amara said. From when she was little, this aunt of hers never involved herself in any of the tribe's matter and would always journey outside. This was also why almost no one in the tribe knew who she was.
"This time is different. I heard I'll be able to find the way to that land if the demon race managed to reclaim the human continent. So, I have to contribute." As Beille said this, she revealed an expression of expectations and longing.
Seeing her expression, Amara smiled wryly. She knew ever since her uncle, Beille's husband, died, Beille had become strange.
She would always talk about the mysterious land of legends and say that she will one day find where it was and go there. That's also why she was always out, trying to find clues about its whereabouts.
Beille noticed her expression. Her smile faded, and she acted hurt, saying, "You little girl. You are really the same as others. You also don't believe me."
"Mm, aunty. It's not that I don't believe you, but the stories about that are fabricated. Have you heard of anyone going there?" Amara asked, shaking her head.
"So what? I'll be the first." Beille determinedly said.
Seeing this, Amara sighed inwardly and shifted the topic, "Okay, aunty. Since you are also participating, please make sure my brother isn't harmed and take care of yourself, too."
Beille chuckled, "Don't worry. With me there, that kid will be safe. Of course, it's only if no one in the emperor realm or higher makes a move on him."
Hearing this, Amara felt relieved. She knew how strong her aunty was. Even her father, Orlan, wasn't a match for her.
She talking for a while more with her, Amara returned to her residence.
When she saw Ashroth waiting in the main hall, her expression changed.
She uneasily walked towards him and asked, "Big brother, did you forget something?"
Ashroth looked at her silently for a while before asking, "You know we aren't allowed to get close to the humans, right?"
Amara's heart started beating faster when she heard this.
What was this? Why was he mentioning the humans so suddenly? Didn't he allow Max to remain by her side? Has he found out about our relationship?
Several thoughts appeared in her mind, making her restless.
She silently nodded.
Seeing her nod, he shouted angrily, "Then what are you doing with that human? Couldn't you have found someone from the tribe?"
