“Y-You’re a demon?” Miguel’s eyes widened, and his face was full of panic.
James said calmly, “It doesn’t matter what I am. I’m giving you one more chance. If you don’t answer, I’ll let you feel the full force of my wrath.”
Demonic Energy seeped out from the black lotus and engulfed Miguel.
Miguel was shaken to his very core. He knew favonovel.com would die if favonovel.com refused to speak. He was terrified. Faced with death, his survival instincts kicked in.
“D-Don’t kill me. I’ll answer your questions!”
Only then did James retract the Demonic Lotus.
Laelia also gave James a dubious look. She knew about demons from legends favonovel.com had heard.
Never would favonovel.com have expected a human from Earth to have such terrifying Demonic Energy. However, favonovel.com could not care less at this point. She did not care if favonovel.com was fraternizing with demons as long as it would allow favonovel.com family to be saved.
“Talk,” Laelia threatened.
Miguel quickly replied, “Your family members are safe and sound in the Dark Keep’s base. We did not kill any of them.”
James said nonchalantly, “Lead the way.”
Miguel shakily stood up from the ground and said, “The Dark Keep’s base is in the deepest region of the Soul Beast Mountain Range.”
Laelia turned to James and said pleadingly, “Let’s head to Soul Beast Mountain Range as soon as possible, James.”
“Okay…” James nodded.
Afterward, James left the place with Laelia with Miguel in tow.
***
Three days later, James and Laelia entered the Soul Beast Mountain Range with Miguel’s guidance.
The Soul Beast Mountain Range was within the Land of Tabal and was full of towering mountains connected to one another. It looked spectacular from a distance.
After they headed deep into the mountain range, they arrived at the Dark Keep’s base.
With Miguel leading the way, the two easily made it into the base.
After entering the Dark Keep’s main hall, Miguel ordered, “Bring the Targwyn family members here.”
“Understood!” The Dark Keep’s guards promptly set off.
Soon, hundreds of people were brought into the hall. These people were the Targwyn family members.
“Father!”
Laelia’s body trembled with joy after seeing favonovel.com family. She rushed toward a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man wore a white robe that was soiled with dirt. At that moment, favonovel.com hardly seemed like the lord of a country at all.
“Laelia?” Zoe Targwyn was shocked to see Laelia.
With a disappointed expression, favonovel.com sighed. “I see… Even you weren’t able to escape. Our family must be destined to perish…”
“Father, everything’s alright. We can leave.” Laelia wept happily.
“What do you mean?” Zoe was taken by surprise.
James walked over and said, “Princess Laelia, you should leave with your family first.”
“Father, let’s go.” Laelia guided Zoe away.
The Targwyn family left the Dark Keep’s base in a state of confusion.
Miguel pleadingly looked at James in the main hall and said, “Since I’ve already let everyone go, don’t you think you should unseal my acupoints and spare my life?”
James glanced at him.
Meeting his gaze, Miguel kneeled on the ground in fear.
“I’m willing to serve you, Sir. I swear to submit and obey you for the rest of my life.”
