Chapter 36: Chapter 32: Candice’s Killing Intent (4000 Votes, Please Collect)

Luo Meng was imposing and terrifying, his dread spreading far and wide.

In comparison, even the presence of Lord Horus made her feel as though she could crush him with a single finger—an illusion, no doubt.

But...

Lord Horus was stronger.

Candice believed this unequivocally.

She always felt that beneath that unfathomable and mysterious demeanor, there was something even more terrifying than Luo Meng’s overwhelming presence.

"Bastard, why do you not kneel when you are in the presence of the Prince?"

A cold voice came from nearby.

Candice suddenly realized her faux pas and quickly knelt on one knee, "I am terribly sorry, the awe of His Highness the Prince terrified me and caused me to forget my manners. I beg for the Prince’s forgiveness."

Luo Meng, however, was quite casual and did not pursue Candice’s minor mistake.

"It doesn’t matter, rise."

His booming voice echoed through the cavern like thunder.

The entire mountain trembled.

"Candice, you have come to see me in person, what is the matter?" Luo Meng widened his massive jaws, his crimson eyes slightly squinted, scrutinizing the small figure below.

He harbored a genuine disgust for this woman.

Blood of humans flowed in her veins, the scent of which nauseated him.

But, as a Prince, he was smarter than those mindless demons.

Despite his dislike, he knew this woman was useful to him. So, in addition to his strength and terror, he occasionally displayed his tolerance, which in human terms, would probably be called winning hearts.

After all, for the seventh son of the lofty Eternal Monarch to personally meet, that was already a significant honor for such a mongrel. Shouldn’t she be grateful?

A reward?

"I have already condescended to meet you personally, and you dare to ask for a reward? Is this not the best reward? One must not be too greedy."

Candice must already be excited to witness his noble countenance by now. For her, this certainly must be a memorable day.

After a deep breath, Candice lowered her eyelids:

"Great Prince, I have two pieces of crucial information to report."

"The first information, the Second Generation Brave Warrior has been summoned."

Upon hearing this, Luo Meng’s huge eyes suddenly bulged, a savage excitement flickering madly.

Among the seven sons under the Eternal Monarch, he was the youngest. His older brothers had already achieved merits, while he had none, which was why Luo Meng urgently needed a significant accomplishment to prove himself.

The Brave Warriors were naturally the perfect target.

The First Generation Brave had caused considerable trouble for the demons. If he could kill the Second Generation Brave Warrior, that would undoubtedly be a significant feat, and his brothers would no longer dare to mock him for being "clipped by a door" in his youth.

But, Candice’s next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Luo Meng.

"However, the Brave Warrior is almost always with the Pope, Church Venerable, and Emperor of Oville; there seems to be no opportunity to strike."

In an instant, Luo Meng’s good mood turned extremely irritable.

Augustus, Saint Monica, and Wozworth—these three were the strongest humans.

They could make moves even in front of the King. Even though Luo Meng was exceedingly proud and would eventually be invincible, mere humans were nothing but ants to him.

But, that was in the future.

With the Brave Warrior under the protection of Augustus Saint Monica and Wozworth, killing him with his current strength was almost impossible.

This caused Luo Meng great discomfort. His fists clenched tightly, creaking with anger that made him want to destroy, kill, and vent.

His gaze became particularly dangerous.

"However, although it may be impossible to strike at the Brave Warrior, I have another piece of information..."

"What information?" the irritated Luo Meng asked gruffly.

"Members of the Hero Team are on their way to the Orville Royal City, apparently to transfer Strength to the Brave Warrior. I have traced one of their routes," Candice explained.

Luo Meng felt his mood swing wildly, up and down... what on earth was a roller coaster again?

Unable to confront the Brave Warrior, but eliminating a member of the Brave Warrior’s Team also sounded not too bad. While the merit would be somewhat lesser, it was certainly better than returning empty-handed.

Luo Meng was quite moved by the idea.

Seeing the look in Luo Meng’s eyes, Candice smirked internally.

This was precisely Lord Horus’s will, everything was within Lord Horus’s plan.

Lord Horus intended for the merit of killing Shield Guard Benson to be entirely attributed to Luo Meng, thereby elevating Luo Meng’s status among the demons.

After all, compared to other sons and daughters of the Eternal Monarch, this simple-minded Luo Meng was easier to manipulate!

This brute with only brute strength had no idea that he was merely a pawn in the hands of the great Lord Horus!

Everything was nearly as Qin Chu had planned, and this scheme was by no means as simple as merely having Candice relay a message.

The entire affair, Qin Chu had meticulously prepared. Candice’s message was just one part of it.

Eliminating demons lurking in the Imperial City was also crucial, as it could prevent other demons from conveying information to Luo Meng, while increasing Candice’s value to the demons.

Furthermore, given Qin Chu’s understanding of Luo Meng, this fellow was strong enough to handle a member of the Brave Warrior Team with ease.

In reality, Luo Meng, though a Prince, struggled beneath the pressure from his older brothers. His status among the demons was not very high compared to his brothers, his strength also not that great. The arrogance he displayed was merely to cover up his inner fears and inferiority to his brothers.
