Why must the devil be Defeated?-Chapter 182 - 181 Enemies that cannot be overlooked

Chapter 182: 181 Enemies that cannot be overlooked Chapter 182: 181 Enemies that cannot be overlooked “Ah…”

“Ooh…”

With such groaning sounds, on the street in front of Lilith’s Dessert Shop, numerous figures lay there, almost covering the entire street.

Some of these people were dressed extravagantly, obviously nobles, some fully equipped, clearly guards, and there were even knights from the Knight Order among them, appearing as if they had been knocked down, rolling slightly on the ground in what seemed to be pain.

And there stood Ai Yi, right in the middle of this disastrous scene, cradling a pillow in one hand and a pastry in the other, nibbling away as if everything around her had nothing to do with her at all, or rather, as if the chaos was of no consequence to her, looking so at ease.

“What… What happened here?”

Shane was stunned.

How had things turned out like this when he had only been gone for a short while?

“Hm?”

Ai Yi seemed to notice Shane’s return and turned her head to look at him, standing there, and slowly walked over.

“Are you done with your business?”

Ai Yi stepped over the people on the ground to approach Shane and asked nonchalantly.

Her demeanor was as if nothing had happened.

“I… I’m back,” Shane replied a bit slowly, then suddenly realized and asked in astonishment, “What’s with these people?”

“What’s with them?” Ai Yi didn’t understand Shane’s meaning and tilted her head, saying, “Didn’t you tell me to send them flying?”

“Me?” Shane pointed to his own nose, then it dawned on him.

Before he left, he had indeed instructed Ai Yi not to wander off or be tricked by anyone, and if anyone came up to talk to her and suggested going somewhere fun, she should just punch them away.

Which meant…

“All these guys ended up like this because they chatted you up?”

Shane widened his eyes.

“Mhm.” Ai Yi nodded slowly and said, “At first, just a few guys dressed very annoyingly, laughed annoyingly, and even the tone of their speech was annoying asked me to go with them, saying they had some fun thing to teach me. I sent them flying. Then their guards wanted to surround me, so I sent those guards flying too. Then knights from the Knight Order happened to be patrolling this area and tried to take me away when they saw me send those annoying guys flying. I sent them all flying too.”

“And so, it turned out like this.”

Shane was momentarily lost for words upon hearing Ai Yi’s explanation.

“What’s wrong?” Ai Yi, seeing Shane’s stunned expression, furrowed her brows and said, “Isn’t this what you told me to do? Is there a problem?”

It seemed the little girl had done all this because of Shane’s instructions.

To this, Shane only wanted to say,

“Of course, there’s no problem.”

Though the situation was a bit beyond what Shane had anticipated, she was merely following his instructions obediently.

For such an adorable and obedient little cutie, Shane only wanted to say — “Nice.”

However, the commotion had certainly gotten a bit out of hand — that was a fact.

Without considering that nobles had been hit, even knights from the Knight Order had been knocked to the ground. If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Order Guardians from the Royal Capital to administer punishment, or even provoke nobles seeking revenge or starting trouble.

So…

“Wait for me a second, I’ll take care of the aftermath.”

Shane handed over the several Divine World books he was holding to Ai Yi before heading over to the people who lay scattered on the ground.

Ai Yi nonchalantly received the books but paused slightly after seeing the covers. Then, she turned her gaze towards Shane.

Meanwhile, Shane had already started cleaning up the aftermath.

And how did he clean up?

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

Quite simple—first, slap the Nobles awake, then the leader of the Knight Order, and before these guys could demand any accountability, directly place the Royal Token in front of them.

After that, they became very cooperative. Not only did they apologize profusely and fearfully, but they also didn’t dare to release even a peep, and they scampered off, tumbling over themselves in their haste, daring not to pursue the matter further.

Having done all this, Shane held the Pendant and muttered,

“Actually, this thing is quite useful.”

That was the truth.

However, the more Shane used it, the more quickly the secret of receiving the Royal Token from Luoqi was likely to be exposed, and that’s when the real trouble would come knocking on his door.

“Well, when that time comes, we’ll just go back to business as usual, playing hardball, and delivering a wave of harsh reality.”

Shane pocketed the Pendant and returned to Ai Yi’s side.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Shane said with a smile to Ai Yi, looking very much like a father caring for his child.

Ai Yi shook her head and handed back the books to Shane, then casually asked, “Are you investigating the Hero?”

“You noticed?” Shane was momentarily taken aback, then shrugged his shoulders and said, “Just casually looking into it.”

“Casual looking doesn’t get you books like these, you know?” Ai Yi looked at Shane and smiled, “These books may not be that precious in the Divine World, but in the Human Realm, they are quite valuable. They contain many secrets not yet disseminated in the Human Realm, and I reckon many people in power would pay any price to obtain them.”

“Really?” Shane genuinely surprised, remarked, “Are these books that valuable?”

“At least, in this world they are,” Ai Yi nodded and said, “Of course, in the Divine World and Demon Realm, they’re nothing special. These level of secrets aren’t really secrets among the God and Demon Clans.”

“I see,” Shane sighed, “Then what’s your opinion on the Hero?”

Shane just casually asked.

But Ai Yi considered the question very seriously.

“In the past, I saw them as enemies that must not be overlooked,” Ai Yi began, “They are the natural enemies of the Demon Clan, and the Holy Sword, which originates from them, is the most lethal weapon against the Demon Clan. If struck by the Holy Sword, even the most powerful Demon would be severely wounded, and if one were to be slain by it, resurrection is impossible, not even for the Demon King.”

In light of this, Ai Yi was once among those who were most wary of the Hero, her hostility towards them even stronger than that of the Demon King’s, which had pushed her to recklessly act numerous times and ultimately achieved the valiant record of eliminating two Heroes.

So…

“The Demon Clan is very sensitive to the existence of a Hero. If one appears, it will definitely stimulate some people’s nerves, resulting in a change in the Demon Clan’s policies, right?” Ai Yi seemed to hint at something, “Here in the Royal Capital, there seems to be a girl who is hailed as the modern Hero. She’s been a thorn in many people’s sides, and ten years ago, the Old Demon Clan Faction’s presence here was largely due to their desire to kill her.”

“…Is that so?” Shane fell silent for a while, then said to Ai Yi, “What do you now consider the Hero to be?”

Shane tentatively asked.

Ai Yi fixed her gaze on Shane and after a moment, she began to smile.

“I don’t even know myself.”

Ai Yi gave such an answer.
