A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 592 - Chapter 592 Chapter 435 Dark Attack_1

Chapter 592: Chapter 435: Dark Attack_1 Chapter 592: Chapter 435: Dark Attack_1 It has to be said, Queen Leia has indeed made a great effort.

When Duanmu Huai arrived at the castle located halfway up the mountain in the town, what he saw was a luxurious, imposing castle. Inside were city walls, and on the outside, there were even farmlands. It was clear that Queen Leia had constructed it with the treatment of a royal city in mind. Not only that, but she also dispatched a dedicated team of maids and as for the guards, they came from both Lisas and Seth — well, this was the result of negotiations between King Gandhi and Queen Leia.

As for Duanmu Huai, he didn’t really mind this. After all, this place, rather than being a base for the Tribunal, seemed more like an administrative office, so he was not worried about a cuckoo moving into a magpie’s nest — or you could say that the nest was made by the cuckoo, it wouldn’t want to occupy its own nest if it had nothing better to do!

Basically, everything was already arranged. Everything was ready for Duanmu Huai to just move in, without the need to carry anything.

Naturally, Duanmu Huai didn’t need to be polite about it.

His first order of business after arriving at the castle was to summon Seizer back and ask about the situation in the Devil World.

“As for the Devil World… things are not exactly smooth at the moment…”

Seizer, kneeling before Duanmu Huai, lacked any arrogance typical of a demon. After seeing the fate of Kirk and Camilla, she felt that being alive… wasn’t that bad.

Anything was better than being torn into two, having your head twisted off, or even having your Demon Blood Soul destroyed.

According to Seizer, upon learning of Camilla’s failed attack on Seth leading to her death, Krebs was furious and even wanted to gather a massive army to launch another fierce attack on Seth. But the Honnete Faction seized this opportunity, posing as if they wanted to take action, which stopped Krebs from acting recklessly.

Originally, the death of two demons from the Honnete Faction at the hands of Duanmu Huai led to a significant weakening of their power, making the Krebs Faction more prominent. However, this war with Seth caused the Krebs Faction to lose three demons — two died, and one defected — the losses were even greater than those of the Honnete Faction. Thus, even though Krebs was furious, he had to restrain himself to prevent the Honnete Faction from taking advantage.

“However, Lord Krebs has ordered… you must be killed…”

On this issue, even Seizer was at a loss for words.

“He has been secretly in love with Lady Camilla for years. In fact, Lord Krebs has always wanted to marry Lady Camilla, but she was unwilling. They even fought over it once. Although Lady Camilla lost, Lord Krebs did not get what he wanted. One of the main reasons Lady Camilla attacked Seth was to regain some ground, but…”

Instead of turning the tide, she just dragged herself into it.

“He can come and try to kill me if he isn’t afraid of death. Let’s see if I can’t put him down.”

Duanmu Huai scoffed at this, and Seizer didn’t think he was bluffing. After all, she knew that although Camilla lost to Krebs in their previous fight, it took several days of continuous battle to decide the winner. However, Duanmu Huai killed Camilla with a single blow which goes to show, even if Krebs himself came, he would probably meet the same fate.

Duanmu Huai then asked about the group of angels under Seizer’s command. Speaking of this topic… Seizer was a little embarrassed.

“I apologize, my lord. Most of the angels are not willing to follow me. They believe that my betrayal of the Demon Clan is an unforgivable act. Therefore… I have only managed to gather over three hundred companions…”

“That’s still acceptable, it will suffice for the time being.”

Duanmu Huai knew that it wasn’t an easy task, and having over three hundred angels follow Seizer was enough for now. If not, they’ll figure out something later.

Seeing Duanmu not losing his temper, Seizer breathed a sigh of relief and took her leave.

Soon, night fell.

Kaname went to report to Queen Leia that Duanmu Huai had returned, so naturally, the queen would come rushing over tomorrow. Meanwhile, Zhi Jingxiang went back to her room to rest. Duanmu did not say anything more, and after having dinner, he returned to his room– yeah, it’s safe to say, it was indeed quite a corrupt lifestyle.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Just when Duanmu Huai was thinking of getting some rest, suddenly, a knocking sound was heard from the door. Duanmu turned his head to look at the door.

“Come in.”

“Pardon my intrusion.”

Soon, the door opened, and a young girl dressed as a maid walked in. She had long blue hair, and her slender, beautiful body was wrapped in a maid uniform. She also had a trolley with her, on which were placed tea sets and candles.

“You are……”

“This is our first meeting, sire.”

The girl obediently bowed her head and gave Duanmu a curtsey.

“I am here to serve you, Bell.”

“Serve?”

“Yes, I am here to prepare your evening entertainment…”

As she spoke, the maid named Bell raised her head, her pair of golden eyes staring intently at Duanmu Huai.

“I’d appreciate your attention.”

“All right.”

Duanmu Huai hesitated for a moment, but eventually he nodded, as he was curious about what evening entertainment she was referring to. Judging from her maid outfit, it seemed more than just simple pleasures under the sheets. He took a seat on the couch, and the maid placed a teacup and teapot on the chair next to Duanmu Huai. She then took two steps back, lifted the skirt, and curtseyed towards Duanmu Huai.

“Please, take your time in thought… now… let’s begin…”

As she was speaking, Bell reached out and turned off the room lights. The next moment, the entire bedroom turned dark. Only the moonlight from the outside lit up the room, barely making the scene visible. A candlelight then appeared, dispelling the room dark. Under this weak candlelight, Bell took a step forward — along with her movement, the maid dress slipped off her body, revealing the tiny and transparent thin veil she had on underneath.

Then, Bell raised her hands and began to dance.

Indeed, it did astonish Duanmu Huai. He had not expected such late-night entertainment. Bell’s dance was light and agile. Under the dim night light and the candlelight, it carried an intriguing allure. The way her pale arms moved and the steps she took forward were all filled with a strange, enticing charm.

This is…

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai had to swallow his saliva. He had heard of pole dances before, but the scene before him was far more stirring. Bell was not just using her body to seduce men like a dancing girl. On the contrary, at this moment, she exuded a lethal aura. Even her carte-de-visite gestures, or a look, made Duanmu Huai’s heart race. It was as if the whole world had turned into a pink hue before Duanmu Huai’s eyes, even the outside moonlight seemed more hazy.

Something’s not right, something’s off.

Compared to that, however, Duanmu Huai’s rationality still hung onto a glimmer of sense. He could sense that there was something wrong with the dance the maid was performing. At least, a normal dance wouldn’t arouse his excitement like this. At this point, Duanmu Huai felt as though his emotions were swelling like a flood, crashing hard against the dam of rationality, about to burst!

“…”

Duanmu Huai pushed hard, trying to stand up from the chair, but the maid seemed to have anticipated this. She lightly laughed and came in front of Duanmu Huai, holding his arms with her hands.

Immediately after, a sweet scent pervaded.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai’s rationality finally reached its limit.

Duanmu Huai had no clear memory of what happened next. He only remembered his own passion surging out like a volcano. He seemed to have been trapped in a war. He squirmed his way through the enemy’s gate, directly breaking into it, crushing all resistance and breaking down the last line of defense. Any form of struggle or resistance was meaningless before him. Like a raging bull, he broke through all obstacles and eventually conquered and occupied this city.

“Ugh…”

When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, the whole room was a complete mess. Torn clothes were scattered on the floor, leaving bloody and filthy traces everywhere, from the bed to the floor, leaving no spot untouched, even the walls and ceiling. Next to him, a petite figure was curled up motionlessly.

There were bruises all over her brown skin, yet it didn’t seem to bother Duanmu Huai. He reached out, seizing the girl’s throat. At the same time, the girl opened her eyes, looking at Duanmu Huai with a sly smile.

“I truly didn’t expect that all of this wouldn’t be enough to kill you. It seems that Mr. Duanmu is a rather interesting person.”

“Who are you and why do you want to kill me?”

Duanmu Huai stared at the girl in front of him, asking softly. He was not a fool. Clearly, everything the girl had just done was a setup to kill him. Duanmu Huai had wondered whether she might be an assassin sent by the Demon Clan, but he couldn’t detect any such aura from her…

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, the girl’s golden eyes narrowed suddenly, and the previously pure and adorable eyes now revealed a bone-chilling murderous intent.

However, soon the girl restored her original expression, smiling brightly at Duanmu Huai, apparently not afraid that Duanmu Huai could twist off her head with a twist.

“My name is Ling’Nu, hailing from O.J, Mr. Duanmu Huai.”

As she spoke, Ling’Nu flashed a playful smile. Then, she winked at Duanmu Huai, beaming at him.

“As for why I wanted to kill you… how about we get dressed and then discuss this issue slowly?”
