Misunderstanding and Conflict (Happy New Year)

"Boss, what do we do now? Should we stop Hellboy, or ignore him and attack the Hell Demon King?" Constantine asked hesitantly, seeing Robet staring in the direction of Hellboy and falling silent, even calling him "boss" to try and build rapport.

After all, this was the third Hell Demon King that Robet had brought Constantine to. Constantine also felt that he probably wouldn't have another Hell Demon King to sacrifice to repay his debts. Therefore, Constantine was quite covetous of the current Hell Demon King.

Especially since this Hell Demon King is top-tier in strength, arguably one of the most powerful Hell Demon King yet. He's far more powerful than the previous Blackheart and can repay even more debts. He might even be able to do the work of two Demon King Demon King. Constantine definitely doesn't want to miss out on this opportunity!

"Hmm... let's take a look first." Robet paused for a moment, then looked in the direction of Hellboy and said, "His aura isn't that strong, not even as strong as those Shadowkhan generals. If he doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve, he definitely can't defeat this Hell Demon King. However, since he dared to come here, he might actually have some tricks up his sleeve."

"What if he really killed that Demon King?" Constantine asked weakly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"Then kill him! Are you planning to steal his spoils?" Robet glared at Constantine with displeasure. As a warrior who disliked others stealing his opponents' spoils, he naturally hated this kind of behavior as well.

Robet strongly opposes the behavior of Lao Liu, who has painstakingly crippled or killed an opponent only to have it snatched away by someone else!

"Uh... I was just thinking, I didn't really mean to steal it!" Constantine saw that Robet's expression was off and quickly shook his head. Although this was indeed Constantine's style, Constantine certainly couldn't admit it to Robet so easily, because he felt that Robet might beat him to death, or at least give him a good beating!

In that case, not only will there be no compensation, but you might even get beaten up, making it a losing proposition...

Ever since learning of Robet's strength and beginning to cooperate with Robet, Constantine has placed Robet on his "don't mess with him" list. After all, there's no benefit in offending Robet, while cooperating with Robet can help pay off debts. Even if Constantine is a scoundrel, he knows which choice to make.

Under the watchful eyes of Robet and Constantine, Hellboy entered the tavern, completely unaware of Robet presence. However Constantine, the moment he stepped inside, the top-tier Demon King instantly noticed Hellboy's arrival!

"Hmm? Such a peculiar hellish bloodline? No! This is the lord's bloodline?!" When the top Demon King sensed Hellboy, he immediately recognized the other's hellish life form. However, the top Demon King quickly noticed something amiss, and his expression changed drastically.

As a top-tier Demon King lord closest to the Hell Lord, and also as a subordinate of a powerful Hell Lord, Zeldar has a fairly good understanding of the Hell Lord's bloodline. Zeldar even feels that Hellboy's bloodline seems to be even stronger than his boss's!

"How is this possible? Among the Hell Lord, the Boss is already considered mid-level, Infinity at the level of Sub-Skyfather in the divine system. Could his bloodline come from some big shot?" A hint of hesitation flashed in Zeldar's eyes as he looked at Hellboy, and at that moment, Hellboy's gaze also fixed on Zeldar.

There was nothing he could do; Zeldar was staring intently at Hellboy. Hellboy noticed a gaze directed at him and instinctively looked over, only to discover that this guy was exactly the hellish creature he was looking for!

"Found you!" A hint of excitement flashed in Hellboy's eyes. Since becoming Demon King, Hellboy had felt that he hadn't improved his strength in a long time, which was also related to the fact Hellboy the enemies he encountered were not strong enough.

Therefore, Hellboy was very excited when he saw Zeldar. Although he did not know how strong Zeldar was, he was confident that as long as Celdal was not too much stronger than himself, he could win!

"Hmm? So excited?" Zeldar saw Hellboy's excited appearance but didn't pay much attention, because he didn't know that Hellboy had come to deal with him. After all, the other party was also a creature from Hell. Zeldar instinctively thought that the other party had also smuggled himself over from Hell and came to cooperate with him or share information.

"What do you want?" With that thought, Zeldar looked at Hellboy and slowly spoke, releasing a powerful aura of a top-tier Demon King that caused everyone around to change their expressions drastically.

Admittedly, this is a gathering place for extraordinary beings, but the power disparity among them is still significant. And frankly speaking, truly powerful extraordinary individuals wouldn't necessarily gather in a place like this...

Therefore, the extraordinary individuals here are only so-so in strength; they might not even possess the strength of High-level Demon. Now, when faced with the aura of a top-tier Demon King, they tremble like quails.

"You guys go out first!" Hellboy frowned upon seeing this and released his aura as well. Although it wasn't enough to contend with Zeldar, it barely gave those superhumans the ability to move and they fled in panic.

Hellboy knew that the superhumans in this tavern weren't necessarily good people, but they couldn't all be evil people who deserved to die either. After all, he was trained by the military, and his education had always been restricted by the authorities, so he didn't have a habit of judging or indiscriminately killing innocent people...

"They're just a bunch of ants, none of them even have anything to do with Hell. Why are you protecting them?" Seeing Hellboy's actions, Zeldar said this, but he didn't stop these people from leaving. Instead, he concealed his aura.

In Zeldar's view, although Hellboy was not as strong as him, he was still at the level of Hell Demon King. In addition, Hellboy possessed the powerful bloodline of Hell Lord. Zeldar was unwilling to turn against him if he could avoid it. Those who escaped were just a bunch of ants. He would just give Hellboy face.

Although the Hell Demon King in the Hell Dimension scheme and covet among themselves, Zeldar certainly won't easily start a war with a Hell Demon King after arriving on Earth.

After all, Hell Demon King of this level come to Earth to reap benefits. If war breaks out, they will suffer more losses than gains. Therefore, after arriving on Earth, these Hell Demon King are quite willing to communicate with their fellow demons. However, Zeldar never expected that the Hellboy in front of him was not from the Hell Dimension. He came here specifically for him!

"You're not bad, much more polite than other Demon. But can you tell me your purpose in coming to Earth?" Hellboy gave Zeldar a deep look, walked to Zeldar's table, and picked up the drink next to him as if no one else was there. However, the glass in Hellboy's huge right hand looked like a jelly.

"There's something wrong with this hand..." Zeldar took a deep look at Hellboy's right hand, then turned his gaze back to Hellboy's eyes and said, "What could be the purpose? Aren't our purposes the same? To see what the situation is like on Earth, and whether we can take advantage of it..."

"By the way, I don't think you were among the Demon King I contacted before? You came later? And which Hell Lord sent you to investigate?"

As Zeldar spoke, he observed Hellboy's expression, deliberately mentioning that he too had Hell Lord backing him, all to intimidate Hellboy and see if he could uncover Hellboy's origins...

Hellboy wanted to find out Zeldar's purpose, and Zeldar was equally eager to know which powerful figure had sent Hellboy, whether it would clash with his own boss, whether he should cancel his plans, whether he should try to inform his boss, or even sabotage his boss to seize power...

There was no way around it. It wasn't that Zeldar lacked confidence in his boss; the main problem was that Hellboy's bloodline was truly powerful, not much weaker than that of the top Hell Lord that Zeldar had previously encountered! Bloodline doesn't represent strength, but it does represent background!

"Trying to freeload? Are you sent by the Hell Lord?" Hellboy's brows furrowed instantly. Although he didn't know just how powerful this Hell Lord was, he knew that he was completely incapable of dealing with such an opponent in his current state, and that if a powerhouse of this level appeared on Earth, it would inevitably cause a major catastrophe!

It's important to understand that the impact of the Shadow Incident on Earth hasn't even subsided yet. If the Hell Lord were to target them again, ordinary Earthling certainly wouldn't be able to withstand it. Therefore, upon learning this news, Hellboy's heart instantly surged with murderous intent!

Even though this Zeldar seems more polite than the other hellish creatures, Hellboy certainly doesn't want to see his scheme succeed...

With a "crack!", Hellboy launched an attack immediately after making his decision. The wine glass in his hand shattered instantly, and then his huge right fist slammed towards Zeldar's head!

With a "whoosh!" sound, Hellboy's punch missed its mark and didn't hit Zeldar. Instead, the force of the punch blasted through the tavern, and gusts of cool air rushed in from outside. However, for Hellboy and Zeldar, such a cool air was not enough to cause any real harm.

Meanwhile, a group of superhumans who hadn't left yet, hoping to listen to the commotion and watch the excitement from outside the tavern, didn't dare linger after witnessing the action and fled in an instant...

"Your opponent has made a move? Why? Does the Hell Lord behind you intend to take over the Earth? That's an achievement even Lord Mephisto couldn't reach..." Zeldar was already prepared when he saw the killing intent flash in Hellboy's eyes, but he didn't expect that Hellboy would actually attack him.

This is something Zeldar can't understand. Even if you want to monopolize the Earth, you have to wait until you've actually conquered it before you can even think about it, right?

We've only just arrived on Earth, and we haven't even figured out what it's like here. Isn't it a bit too early to make such a move? We haven't even caught the rabbit yet, and we're already thinking about eating spicy rabbit heads?

"Lord Mephisto ..." In mid-air, Robet heard Zeldar's words and his lips curled up slightly. Constantine, standing beside him, also looked a little strange. After all, he knew all too well why Mephisto had failed. Every time Mephisto's plan was implemented on Earth, he would inexplicably encounter Robet, be beaten up by Robet, and then the plan would be completely destroyed.

Mephisto had come very close to success before, during the encounter with Blackheart, but unfortunately, Robet brought Clark along that time. Even if Mephisto unleashed all his power, the two of them combined might not have been able to gain the upper hand, let alone an avatar whose power could not be fully concentrated.

"Mephisto?" Upon hearing the name Mephisto, Hellboy showed no fear; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least he now knew that the Hell Lord behind Zeldar was not Mephisto.

After learning his true identity, Hellboy still attempted to explore it further, and later gleaned some information from various Hell Demon...

Hellboy couldn't get his hands on important, confidential intelligence, but he had heard of Mephisto, the most famous of the Hell Lord. He knew that Mephisto was one of the top Hell Lord, someone he couldn't possibly contend with!

At this moment, Hellboy could tell from Zeldar's words and tone that the Hell Lord behind him was far inferior to Mephisto. This relieved Hellboy, who then decided to keep Zeldar there to prevent any unforeseen events...

With a "whoosh!", Hellboy made another decisive move in the next moment. He still swung his huge right fist, but this time it was not a fist wind that appeared, but a force that was almost spatial!

When Hellboy threw that punch, Zeldar was surprised to find that his body seemed to be mired in mud, making it much more difficult for him to dodge!

"Damn it! You're so arrogant just because you have someone backing you! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!" However, this time, Zeldar didn't want to dodge anymore. Even if Hellboy had Hell Lord backing him, he couldn't descend to Earth so easily. Now that Hellboy had attacked him time and time again, Zeldar had reached his limit!
