Book 4: Chapter 148: Anger

It was so quiet that one could hear the pin drop.

Lilith put down Lesiah, then looked around while scratching her cheek. “What’s going on? Why have you all gone quiet? Weren’t you guys having fun before I arrived? Don’t mind me, carry on.”

Still, no one said anything. Everyone just seemed to be dumbstruck by the sudden arrival of the two girls.

Lilith frowned in dissatisfaction. She had made such a grand appearance, yet no one gave her any reaction. Not even a round of applause.

Clap, clap, clap...

Ah, there it was. Lilith raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction of the applause with delight written all over her face.

Finally, there was one kid who knew manners.

It turned out to be Lucas, who should have been ‘dead’. Unbeknownst to the group, he had gotten up and was clapping with enthusiasm. “I assume this fair maiden is the rumored Golden... Lady Lilith, right? I see that you are as lovely and charming as they said.”

“Oh? Do we know each other?”

Lilith looked at the naked bald muscle man from head to toe. Since he had parts that she was no stranger to, Lilith did not find it awkward to look. However...

It did not stop her from wondering why this tanned guy made her stomach churn. She nearly could not stop herself from punching him right at where it hurt the most.

It had been ages since she felt this way. In fact, the last time was when she got proposed to by that golden gorilla.

Lilith also found his hairy butt rather odd... Was this guy cosplaying some kind of strange creature?

“You may not know me. But your reputation precedes you.”

Lucas bowed to her politely like a true gentleman. “His Holiness the Pope often talks about you. He truly thinks about you a lot.”

“The Pope?” Lilith froze.

“Pope Delance of Luminous Theocracy. This guy in front of you is his nephew...” Lesiah whispered into Lilith’s ear.

“He also knows that you are the Golden Demon, Htilil.”

“Oh I see. So you are his nephew.” Lilith nodded.

She waved the imitation holy sword in her hand, then said with a serious face, “Can I shove this crowbar up this guy’s a̲s̲s̲h̲o̲l̲e̲?”

“HUUUUH?”

“ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!!!”

From the side, Cornelia’s gaze fell on Lilith before turning to Lesiah who was pretty much healed. Remorse welled up in her heart.

Cornelia had really miscalculated this time. She did not expect this ant would actually be able to break through the line of defense that she had set up and rescue this problematic dragon girl.

However, even if Cornelia knew this would be the result from the beginning, she would still turn around without hesitation.

Hence, the result of this incident was already determined when Shiloah was forced back by Lucas and when Little Hand was intercepted by Diana.

In conclusion... She had underestimated these humans who were no better than insects in her eyes.

Well then, what should she do next? Cornelia narrowed her eyes and began to mull over the question.

Durance clenched his sword, looking at Lilith who was trampling Lucas’ little a̲s̲s̲ and Lesiah who was trying to stop Lilith from killing Lucas.

“Why did you bring her here, princess?” he asked angrily.

“Hm? What do you mean?”

Lilith stopped but Lucas was already foaming at the mouth. She looked up at Durance and asked with hostility in her voice, “You think Lesiah made a mistake?”

“Of course. It’s already hard enough for us to get away if any of us falls into the enemy’s hands. With both of you here, that’s just lowering our chance of winning. This isn’t a problem that can be solved by a large number of people.”

Durance suppressed the anger in his eyes. Everyone was already in a desperate situation. But as long as he still had his cards up his sleeve, there might still be a chance to turn the situation around. However, Lesiah’s sudden appearance with Lilith now was no different than disrupting his plan.

It was already a struggle to defend himself, he had no capacity to take care of others.

How could someone as intelligent as Lesiah make such a stupid mistake!

Lesiah told them that rescuing Lilith meant their chances of winning would be improved to fifty percent. However, after fighting with these weirdos, Durance was convinced that this was merely a lie that Lesiah told them in order to get them to help with the rescue mission.

He was already quite sullen about Lesiah deceiving them in the first place. Now that she has rescued the target, how dare she come to cause more trouble?!

How short-sighted of her! Utterly stupid!

How in the world did she manage such a huge nation!
