Chapter 131

In the end, Shien's explanation was accepted by everyone.

It wasn't because they trusted Shien, but because Vivian and the rest supported Shien from the side, so they had no choice but to accept his explanation.

Even if they didn't trust Shien, Baylon and the rest still trusted Vivian's team.

Therefore, just like with Lily, since everyone in Vivian's team vouched for Shien, it became a matter of course to accept Shien's explanation.

But then again, so what if they didn't believe him?

No matter what, it would be difficult for Baylon and the rest to deal with Shien, who could even defeat Beetho, right?

Even if Shien claimed that he could only display his strength after meeting certain restrictions and conditions, Baylon and the rest couldn't be sure that those restrictions and conditions wouldn't be met if they made things difficult for him.

Therefore, Baylon and the rest could only swallow the bitter pill this time. To a certain extent, they reaped what they sowed.

Of course, it wasn't that they didn't gain anything from this mission.

At the very least, Sean had annihilated the old demon faction led by Beetho and defeated Beetho and Killian, who were felons and had been wanted by the kingdom for a long time. This could be regarded as a great achievement in both sentiment and reason.

Even though Baylon and the rest were destined to be a bystander to this achievement, it was still better to be a bystander than to have nothing to do with it, right?

In conclusion, everyone finally decided to continue on their way to the royal capital. Firstly, they had to report what happened here, and secondly, the royal capital was just around the corner. Instead of turning back and spending another ten days rushing back to Lamigion, they might as well head straight to the royal capital.

This made Shien want to complain.

"Since the plan isn't going to change, why don't we just get rid of Killian from the start? Wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble?"

If they had executed Killian from the start, Beetho wouldn't have wanted to rescue him, and Baylon wouldn't have needed to escort him to the royal capital, which would have led to so many troublesome and troublesome things later on, right?

However, even though that was what he said, Shien was very clear that things weren't that simple.

Just like the police in his previous life, even though they could kill criminals, they weren't allowed to execute all criminals on the spot. If they could capture Killian alive, the kingdom naturally hoped to escort him to the royal capital for public execution.

The difference was that this wasn't just to create an image for the people and display the kingdom's power and authority. More importantly, it was to vent their anger by executing the mastermind of the Old Demons in front of the nobles who had caused them to suffer huge losses ten years ago.

This involved the thoughts and calculations of many nobles. Even Vivian herself claimed that it was complicated and couldn't be explained in a moment, so Shien didn't bother to pursue it.

In short, although the mission had failed, Sean and the rest still needed to head to the capital and report everything that had happened here.

Hence, after cleaning up the battlefield and taking a short break, they hurriedly continued their journey.

However, before leaving, Shien glanced at the campsite that had almost been reduced to ruins. He pursed his lips, then retracted his gaze and left with Vivian and the rest.

The battlefield that had just gone through a massacre fell into dead silence.

Then, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

"It's over."

The young lady said, not knowing if she was lonely or emotional.

She had long, silky black hair that reached her waist, a tall, graceful, and perfect figure, red eyes, and an incredible temperament.

Impressively, it was Lésia.

"I seem to have been discovered in the end."

Lésia gazed at the direction where Shien had left and sighed helplessly.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed by the side to watch the show. Now I'm probably being targeted by that vengeful little man. The next time I see him, I'm afraid I'll have to suffer again."

Thinking of Shien's impolite attitude towards her, Lésia felt a headache coming on, but for some reason, there was a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

After all …

"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person."

With that said, Lésia shifted her gaze and looked at a corpse on the ground.

That was Beetho's corpse.

"I didn't expect this to happen to you."

Lésia's gaze was slightly cold, and her gaze towards Beetho was filled with coldness.

"I wanted to get rid of you personally, but I didn't get to do so. What a pity."

Lésia's tone was so cold that it didn't seem like she knew Beetho at all.

Logically speaking, Lésia, Beetho, and Killian were all the masterminds of the large-scale assassination in the capital ten years ago. To a certain extent, the three of them should be considered as companions. It was just that Lésia betrayed them later on. However, judging from Lésia's tone, she didn't seem to have the sense of companionship that she once had towards Beetho. Instead, it seemed like she was facing an enemy.

In fact, the relationship between the two of them was no different from that of enemies.

When it came to Beetho and Killian, Raxia had the urge to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Especially Beetho.

This was because Beetho had been a member of the Old Demons since the beginning. When he was in the Demon Realm, he often hid his intentions and used all kinds of despicable means to harm the talents of the Demons, causing many incidents in the Demon Realm.

Killian was originally not a member of the Old Demons, but in the end, he was instigated by Beetho and brainwashed by Beetho's theory of the Old Demons. That was why he left the Dragon Demon Realm and became a member of the Old Demons.

Beetho had done many things in secret that angered the heavens and the people. If it wasn't for Lésia's betrayal in the end, the capital might not have known that the mastermind of the large-scale assassination ten years ago was Beetho. As a result, Beetho could only leave the Demon Realm and come to the human realm to do whatever he wanted.

Even in the human realm, Beetho had been constantly killing, killing clergymen and important figures of various races. It could be said that he was a person that all politicians hated.

Lésia also hated Beetho.

If it wasn't for Beetho, she would not have been forced to become a member of the Old Demons.

If it wasn't for the discovery of "that thing" in the capital, perhaps Lésia would have committed the same unforgivable crime as Killian. She would have done evil and killed countless people in the world as a member of the Old Demons.

At the thought that she might become like that, how could Lésia not hate Beetho?

It was also because of this hatred that Lésia wanted to cooperate with Shien to destroy the Old Demons led by Beetho.

"Although it didn't go according to plan in the end, it's really satisfying to see you killed like that."

When Lésia thought of Beetho's fate, her face finally looked better.

"I have to thank that person properly."

After saying that, Lésia was ready to leave.

However, at this moment …

"About that person, why don't you tell me about it?"

When this voice entered Lésia's ears, Lésia stopped in her tracks and her face stiffened.
