Deities: Starting From Goblins
Chapter 1320 - Chapter 1320 Chapter 724 Apocalypse

Chapter 1320: Chapter 724: Apocalypse? Chapter 1320: Chapter 724: Apocalypse? “Meanwhile, I will also do my utmost to serve the Demon Race in gratitude for your generous forgiveness,” said Logan.

As these words were uttered, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly froze, becoming tense and oppressive as if even the air had ceased to flow. Demon Soldiers closed in from all sides, their steps heavy and powerful, as they encircled the Flood Dragon, forming an impenetrable circle. Their eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility, like cheetahs eyeing their prey, ready to strike a deadly blow at any moment. They never expected to find such a deeply scheming, unidentified undercover in their midst, which, to them, was an enormous blow and a threat.

Seeing this, the Water Dragon couldn’t help but inwardly groan. He felt as if he were being pushed to the brink of a storm, at any moment to be devoured by the tempestuous winds and raging waves. He knew all too well how perilous his situation was at that moment, that he could inadvertently lose his life here and become a sacrificial pawn in the internal struggles of the Demon Race. He hurriedly defended himself, “Lord, I am wronged! Although I had contact with the Human race, it was completely out of desperation. At that time, I was on the verge of death from injuries when a Human Doctor saved me, allowing me to cling to life. I have never harbored thoughts of betraying the Demon Race, nor could I possibly be an undercover! Please, Lord, discern the truth and vindicate me!”

However, his defense seemed to have little effect. The Demon Soldiers remained highly alert, their eyes full of doubt and distrust, as if every single word the Flood Dragon uttered was a lie, every action a pretense. Some soldiers even began to murmur amongst themselves. Although their voices were low, they were filled with hostility, “Hmph, your words come too easily. Who knows if you’re just making up stories? A Human Doctor saved you? Can such nonsense be believed?” “Exactly, the aura on your body is clearly that of the Human race, yet you still attempt to argue your case?”

The Flood Dragon, listening to these harsh murmurs, felt a mix of helplessness and anger. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be difficult to change the impression the Demon Soldiers had of him. But he couldn’t just give up; he had to find a way to prove his innocence and clear the suspicions against him. So, taking a deep breath and striving to remain calm, he said loudly, “Lord, I am willing to undergo any investigation, even if it means proving my innocence with my life. Please give me a chance to uncover the truth and vindicate myself!”

Logan watched the Flood Dragon’s steadfast gaze and couldn’t help but feel a flicker of doubt. He knew that the situation wasn’t so straightforward; whether the Flood Dragon was truly an undercover required further investigation. Thus, he slowly began to speak, his voice bearing a hint of authority and compassion, “Very well, Flood Dragon, I grant you a chance. But understand that this chance isn’t given freely; you must go all out to investigate the truth and prove your innocence. At the same time, I will assign people to assist you to ensure your safety. However, should you dare any deception, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Upon seeing this, Logan made a subtle hand gesture, exuding an authoritative air that could not be ignored, signaling the restless Demon Soldiers around to keep their composure. He slowly walked toward the Flood Dragon, each step firm and powerful, as if treading upon everyone’s hearts. He gazed deeply at the Flood Dragon as though his eyes could pierce through layers of fog and directly see through his soul, seeking the hidden truth deep within.

“Flood Dragon, I know you are nervous now, and your heart may be filled with fear and restlessness,” Logan’s voice was deep and forceful, each word clearly entering everyone’s ears as if it carried a magical power to soothe the heart, “But don’t worry, our Demon Race has always been clear with rewards and punishments, upholding justice. As long as you haven’t committed acts of betrayal against the Demon Race, haven’t harmed the interests of the Demon Race, we will not trouble you, nor will we rashly condemn you.”

Hearing this, a warm current surged through the Flood Dragon’s heart, like a ray of sunlight in winter, warming his soul. Although he found himself in a treacherous situation, misunderstood and doubted by everyone, he still had Lord Logan, a person who understood right from wrong, was fair and impartial. With grateful eyes that shimmered with tears, he respectfully said, “Thank you, Lord, for your discerning eyes, for not being deceived by superficial illusions. I will do everything in my power to serve the Demon Race, brave any danger, all to repay your magnanimity and trust.”

—————–

Logan watched the Flood Dragon’s sincere and unwavering gaze and couldn’t help but nod inwardly. He knew that although the Flood Dragon was engulfed in suspicion, his heart was still full of loyalty and love for the Demon Race. Such a warrior was a valuable asset to the Demon Race, one that should not be lost lightly. So, he patted the Flood Dragon’s shoulder and said with earnest gravity, “Flood Dragon, I acknowledge your intent. But understand that proving your innocence isn’t just for your sake, but also for the entire Demon Race. I hope you can remain composed, cooperate fully with our investigation, and quickly clarify the truth to vindicate yourself.”

The Flood Dragon nodded gravely in response. He was acutely aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not only concerning his own life and death but also the future and stability of the Demon Race. He secretly vowed that no matter the difficulties and challenges he faced, he would persevere, uncover the truth, prove his innocence, and contribute his strength to the Demon Race.
