The royal capital, noble district, Borztutt's residence.
At this very moment, the square in front of Borztut's house was filled with people for the first time in a long time.
However, the people standing there were no longer people from other countries or factions. Instead, they were people from Pottutt Residence.
Among these people, there were knights who were loyal to the Porztutt Family, and there were also maids and servants who heard the news and came over.
Of course, Lily and the others were there as well.
Lily, Vivian, Tierre, and even Lumia were there. They looked at the scene in front of them in a daze.
In front of these people, the dirty and sloppy evil men appeared in an orderly manner.
"Greetings, my lords!"
"Greetings, my lords!"
After a series of deafening shouts, the vicious villains lowered their heads and saluted Lily and the others.
Their voices were loud and clear.
Their attitudes were humble.
It was as though their vicious aura had faded away. They were like criminals who had been reformed through labor. These villains who had left behind all sorts of horrifying deeds in the human world had all become incomparably obedient.
Looking at this scene, not to mention the knights and servants, even Lily and Vivian were speechless.
Tierre was completely silent.
Lumia's face was also filled with fear.
Only Shien stood in front of all the villains like the leader of the villains. He smiled widely at Lily and the others.
"How is it? It's good to have a bunch of lackeys, isn't it? "
Shien said bluntly as though he didn't notice anything amiss.
However, not a single one of those fiendish looking people flew into a rage. Instead, they seemed to have been praised as they put on a flattering smile on their faces.
However, no matter how they looked at it, their smiles seemed forced. The expressions on their faces were forcefully pulled into a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.
Lily and Vivian looked at each other in dismay.
In the end, it was Lily who couldn't hold it in and asked.
"I say, what the hell did you do!?" Lily quickly walked to Shien and wrapped her arms around Shien's neck. She pulled his head to her mouth and growled in a low voice, "Didn't you go to interrogate the captured members of the Old Demons Faction? Why did you bring such a bunch of terrifying people instead?! "
Lily didn't recognize most of the criminals who came with Shien.
However, how could Lily not recognize Xiu Di and the remaining members of the Old Demons Faction who had invaded Pottutt's house and were captured by Vivian and the others?
Now, the group of Old Demons Faction led by Xiu Di was hiding in the middle of a group of criminals.
One could imagine the shock in Lily's heart when she saw him.
Other than Xiu Di and the remnants of the old Demons Faction, Lily also recognized a small portion of them.
Lily had never seen these people before, but she had heard rumors about them and recognized them.
Because she recognized them, the shock in Lily's heart turned into shock.
Furthermore, the group of people that appeared here all carried a faint and terrifying aura. How could Lily maintain her composure?
Not to mention Lily, even Vivian and Tierre were trembling with fear.
"You … How did you bring these people here?"
Vivian's voice was filled with a trace of panic and solemnity that wasn't there in the past.
"…"
Tierre still didn't say anything. She only stared at the criminals with vigilance.
On the other hand, Shien was unbelievably calm.
"I told you, they're here to be my lackeys."
Shien's words didn't show the slightest bit of respect to the people he had subdued.
If this was any other time, with so many criminals, they would probably go berserk on the spot and go on a frenzied killing spree. Only then would they be able to quell the rage in their hearts.
But today, these vicious criminals were all shouting loudly.
"That's right! We are all lackeys! "
"Please allow us to contribute an insignificant amount of strength here!"
"We will turn over a new leaf!"
"We won't do stupid things like before!"
"Please believe in us!"
Just like that, the group of evil people did their best to express their attitude.
Not only did the situation not make them happy, but it also made them feel a little creeped out.
"Sob sob …"
Lumia had already hidden behind Tierre.
The surrounding knights were also horrified as they took a step back in unison.
Lily and Vivian's expressions became extremely strange. They eventually looked at Shien.
Obviously, they needed an explanation.
In fact, the matter was very simple.
"I feel that our family's strength is still a little too low. With the upcoming Tri-Tribe Conference and the possibility of the Old Demons finding trouble with us, it's necessary to think of a way to increase our family's strength and recruit a batch of high-level powerhouses."
Shien voiced his thoughts.
Just as he said, the Porztutt Family's strength was still too low. It made people feel insecure.
Although the family already had a few knights above Level 70 and experts of other levels, as well as Vivian who had near-invincible defense and Tierre who could enhance her body, the family's combat strength was already extraordinary.
However, compared to the average nobles, the commanders of the knight regiments directly under the nobles' territories were at most Level 70 and above.
Even the duke's family, which was a relative of the royal family, had the highest combat strength of the knight regiments directly under him at Level 80 and above.
Legendary powerhouses above level 90 could only be found in the kingdom's strongest Imperial Knights, and there was only one of them — Alidia.
The other noble families who had an expert above Level 70 would treat it like a treasure and promote it to the position of a knight regiment commander, becoming the highest combat strength in their territory or family.
Compared to them, the Porztutt Family was a marquis family, but they already had a few experts above Level 70 joining their ranks. They were not inferior to the duke's family.
However, for someone of Shien's level, this was still too low.
He did not want the Porztutt Family to be compared to the other noble families.
This was because, with him around, the Porztutt Family was destined to face a higher level than the nobles in the future.
To put it bluntly, at this point, anyone below the Legendary Level was not qualified to attract Shien's attention.
For such a Sean, he would have to face at least Legendary-level existences in the future, or even enemies above that level.
For example, if the Old Demons Faction led by the [Lair of Beasts] rose in revolt against the Royal Capital, they might be ruthless against the Porztutt Family because of Shien.
And in the face of these rats that even the God Race and Demon Race hated but couldn't eradicate for a long time, with the power of an ordinary noble family, they would basically be tortured to death.
Not to mention, there were even more terrifying enemies like the [Original Demons].
If they targeted the Porztutt Family because of Shien, even with Vivian and Tierre around, the Porztutt Family would only be annihilated.
Because of this, Shien wanted to increase the strength of the Porztutt Family.
That was why Shien requested Rosie to take these criminals away.
"Although these guys are scum who have done all kinds of bad things, it is undeniable that they are quite strong."
Shien said slowly.
"I've done a headcount. There are a total of seven Legendary Level experts here, and their levels range from 91 to 96. All of them have unique skills. Although they are slightly weaker than the cadres of the Demons, they are still genuine Legendary Level experts. Even if they were to face the Legendary Level experts of the Old Demons Faction, they would not be at a disadvantage."
"Other than the seven Legendary Level experts, there are 28 experts who are above level 80 and 63 experts who are above level 70, for a total of 98 people."
"There should be quite a number of low-level combatants, but we can recruit people of their level ourselves. There is no need to use these weak trash who have done many evil things. If we leave them in the underground of the palace, they can be used as experimental subjects for magic experiments."
"This force should be enough to merge with the Porztutt Family, right?"
This is more than enough!
This is more than enough!
Which country could compete with such a group of experts?
Mithra Kingdom?
Ragnar Empire?
Magic Nation, Lalabai?
None of them!
This was because, on the surface, these forces that stood at the top of the human countries only had one or two Legendary Level experts, at most three.
For example, in the Mithra Kingdom, only Alidia was a Legendary Level expert who was directly under the Kingdom. Yule was the spokesperson of the Temple of Light and did not take orders from the Kingdom. The last one was the strongest existence in the Adventurers Guild. They could only entrust him to do things and could not directly give him orders.
It was the same for the Ragnar Empire. In the past, there were only two Legendary Level experts, Lockett and Saliro. The other Legendary Level experts either did not join the Empire or did not take orders from the Empire. They could not be considered as part of the Empire's combat power on the surface.
Under such circumstances, one could imagine how terrifying the combat power of the Porztutt Family, which had seven Legendary Level experts in one go, would be.
If not for the fact that these Legendary Level experts had committed unforgivable crimes, the Kingdom would definitely not want to capture them and imprison them in the underground prison.
These Legendary Level experts came from all over the human world and were only captured due to various reasons. Some of them were even captured decades ago. Year after year, this group of people had accumulated in the underground prison of the palace.
Now, this batch of Legendary-level powerhouses, whom the kingdom had paid a great price and sacrifice to successfully capture but were so troublesome that they could not be dealt with casually, were prepared to submit to the Porztutt Family?
Lily and Vivian felt their heads spin when they thought about it.
Especially the remaining members of the Old Demons Faction led by Xiu Di. They actually wanted to submit to the Porztutt Family. This was ridiculous.
Aren't you all ruthless people?
Don't all of you make people tremble in fear?
Aren't you all planning to attack the Porztutt Family?
Why … Why are you all planning to submit to the enemy now?!
"Wait, let me calm down first."
Lily hurriedly held her forehead and gestured for him to pause.
After a while, the daughter of the Lazahad family was forced to see the reality clearly. She looked at Sean with a tone that she could not quite accept.
"Let me ask you. Did the Kingdom really agree to this?"
Lily could not help but raise this question.
No matter how she looked at it, a group of extremely vicious and dangerous criminals could not be released so easily, right?
If there was any mishap, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains and harming the people.
How could the Kingdom agree to release such a group of dangerous people?
But …
"Don't worry. I asked Rosie to speak to them. Plus, it was my request. I promised to bear all the consequences. The Kingdom finally agreed to this matter because of my and Rosie's influence."
Shien said nonchalantly.
Moreover, An Xi had personally agreed to this.
Of course, he had a condition. He had to pretend that the divorce agreement did not exist …
However, the main thing was that Shien had promised him that these fellows would obediently work in the Porztutt Family and would not dare to cause trouble. After struggling for a long time, Anxi had no choice but to agree.
"… Alright."
Lily accepted this reason.
She was very clear that with the combined influence of Shien and Rosie, it would be easy for the Kingdom to make some compromises.
Both of them had reached the legendary realm. Behind them stood the Demons and Protoss. As long as they did not cross the Kingdom's bottom line, the Kingdom would compromise with their requests.
However, that was not the end of the problem.
"You have to think this through. These people are not easy to deal with. If you let them see the light of day again, aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble? Aren't you afraid that they will betray the Porztutt Family?"
Lily continued to whisper her concerns into Shien's ear.
It could not be helped.
They were a group of fearless and useless people. They wouldn't trust anyone.
Rather than believing that they would turn over a new leaf, Lily was more willing to believe that they only wanted to see the light of day again and escape from the underground of the palace. Although they appeared to be submitting to the Kingdom, they were secretly planning to escape or even harm the Porztutt Family and betray them.
Even if they did not betray the Kingdom now, Lily did not believe that they would fight for the Porztutt Family with all their might and protect them in the future.
If they did not come in handy in times of danger, they would take the opportunity to hit them while they were down. That would be a complete disaster for the Porztutt Family.
However, facing Lily's concerns, Shien revealed an extremely bright smile.
He did not answer Lily's question. Instead, he turned around and looked at the criminals behind him.
"Will you betray us? Hmm? "
Shien's smile was really bright.
However, when the group of fearless evil men saw Xiao Chen's brilliant smile, they revealed horrified expressions.
With a "shua" sound, their faces turned deathly pale, and they knelt down in unison with a "boom" sound, yelling loudly.
"We will never betray you!"
"From today onwards, we will be the most loyal hounds of the Porztutt Family!"
"We can swear to God! We swear to God! "
"Please believe us!"
The group of vicious criminals acted as though they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, trying their best to express their loyalty.
Even Xiu Di's face was drained of blood. They looked at Shien as though they were looking at an evil spirit.
They were no longer trembling in fear. They were trembling in fear.
Betrayal?
No!
They would never betray him in this lifetime!
All the criminals recalled what Shien had done to them before they left the prison.
"Come, come, come. Let me give you a buff."
"It's okay, don't worry. It's nothing serious. I'll just set up a spell in your body. When you betray us, it will make you lose your rationality."
"That's right, just like before."
"It won't hurt at all."
"So, you know what to do in the future, right?"
Recalling these words, the group of criminals shouted without hesitation.
"In the past, we didn't have a choice. Now, we want to be good people!"
