"Hello, I am Eve, the Chief of the Black Wing Clan," Eve responded politely. Because of her status as the Divine Bird's Master, Meer had consulted with Eve on the way and had already nominated her to the position.
"I must say, Chief Carol, your tribe has truly given me a great shock," Eve praised. "I have never seen a tribe so prosperous. When I first arrived, I thought I had come to a human town."
Carol humbly shook his head and said, "This is not solely the achievement of our clan. For a long time, countless races persecuted by the Demon King have gathered here with us, and it naturally developed into this."
"And now, with the addition of your Black Wing Clan, it will surely become even more prosperous."
During their conversation, cups of tea were already placed before Alex.
"Come, everyone..." Carol stood up, picked up his tea, and said, "Let us use tea instead of wine to celebrate the pleasant cooperation between our two clans and our joint resistance against the Demon King."
Alex looked at the tea in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.
"How should I put this? Is poisoning the tea your Star Rabbit Clan's way of hospitality?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Meer and the others, who were about to drink their tea, all stiffened slightly.
"Guest, what do you mean?" Carol was still smiling, but anyone could see that his smile was very forced.
At this moment, everyone realized something was wrong.
Meer smashed his teacup and said with an unfriendly expression, "Chief Carol, what is the meaning of this?"
"I apologize," Carol said with a look of regret, sighing. "I did this entirely because of my daughter."
"She is currently gravely ill and must rely on potions provided by the Demon King to sustain her life."
"Originally, I intended to use poison to hand you over to the Demon King. But now, it seems I must do it myself."
As soon as his voice fell, figures appeared outside the doors and windows, surrounding the entire reception room, making it impenetrable.
Carol looked at everyone and said calmly, "Give up your resistance. I don't want to cause unnecessary bloodshed."
The others said nothing, all of them turning their gaze to Alex.
"???" Carol was a little confused. What was happening? Shouldn't Eve be in charge here?
"That's a line I should be saying, isn't it?" Alex smiled, looking at him with a playful gaze.
The next moment, a substantial aura, like a massive mountain, pressed down. Thud! Thud! Thud! The people of the Star Rabbit Clan all around felt their knees buckle and fell to their knees. Only Carol, the strongest among them, remained barely standing.
Even so, he was trembling all over, and his suit was soaked with sweat.
Carol looked at Alex incredulously, feeling every cell in his body shiver.
What a terrifying aura...
What kind of monster had they provoked?
This man was terrifying to the extreme.
In his entire life, even the Demon King had never made him feel such dread with just his aura.
They, the Star Rabbit Clan, absolutely could not afford to offend this person.
He could probably kill everyone in their clan by himself.
But who was the other party?
Even the Heroes among humans didn't possess such power.
"Master…" Eve hesitated, tugging on Alex's sleeve.
"Chief Carol was also threatened; I think we should give him a chance."
"Since my Dependent has spoken, consider yourself lucky."
Alex shrugged, and the aura that had permeated the air vanished without a trace.
"Whew—" Carol let out a huge sigh of relief, almost collapsing to the ground if he hadn't leaned against the wall.
Alex walked up to Carol, his black and white eyes incredibly deep.
"Now, Chief, answer my questions."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Is your daughter beautiful?"
Carol's eyelids twitched. After a moment of silence, he replied respectfully, "Before my daughter fell ill, she was the most beautiful woman in our Star Rabbit Clan."
Tsk tsk… Master is interested again.
All the Retainers/Subordinates had this thought.
Setsuna pouted, her tail flicking unhappily.
Sure enough, she wouldn't be the only pet anymore.
Damn rabbit...
