Demon Sorcerer and Valmont (Pre-release Announcement)

"Heh! Come contact me about the Demon Sorcerer when you've finished your research! Otherwise, if he finds out the Monkey Talisman is in your hands, he'll eat you alive!" Valmont's expression turned slightly cold upon hearing this, and he then chuckled.

"Since the Ox Talisman appeared on your territory, you are responsible for finding out Ox Talisman whereabouts and giving my unjustly killed subordinates an explanation!"

"Let's see which force has also set its sights on the Talisman. Based on the intelligence we have so far, besides us, there are at least two other forces. One is Jackie Chan and his Section 13, but this force isn't considered too powerful..."

"And the other one is the force that obtained the Rat Talisman. I originally had information on Alex, but later her information chain was completely cut off. It seems that the other party's force is not simple!"

"So what if they're not simple? No matter how complicated they are, they're still an official force. How well can they hide? Unlike us, the world has long forgotten our existence..." Baron Strucker said with a disdainful laugh.

"Yes, we have been silent for too long, but it's not time for us to show ourselves yet. Each of our factions is accumulating its own strength. When the time comes, the position of the Supreme leader will still depend on our own abilities!" Valmont took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and looked toward the secret chamber where the statue of the Demon Sorcerer was located.

"It's better to be safe!" Valmont thought for a moment, made some preparations, and then entered the secret chamber of the statue of Demon Sorcerer.

"Valmont, where's the Ox Talisman? Don't tell me you failed again..." Demon Sorcerer's eyes flashed red as he looked at Valmont and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, I failed again..." Valmont shrugged and looked at Demon Sorcerer, saying, "There's nothing I can do about it. After all, the Ox Talisman is so powerful, and my subordinates are just a bunch of ordinary people. How could they possibly be a match for the owner of the Ox Talisman?"

"Useless!" The Demon Sorcerer immediately berated him, "You can't even do such a small thing right, what use are you?"

"Isn't it because you, Demon Sorcerer, are too stingy with your power?" Valmont looked helpless and was about to bargain with Demon Sorcerer to see if he could squeeze some benefits out of this stingy dragon, but soon Valmont's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw one dark shadow after another in his peripheral vision!

The group of shadowy figures that suddenly appeared were dressed in black ninja outfits with deep red collars and belts. The clothing covered most of their bodies and faces, revealing only a bit of gray-blue skin and red eyes, but Valmont could tell at a glance that these guys were not human!

"What's this?" Valmont instinctively took a half step back, looking warily at the Shadowkhan around him as he asked.

"They are a ninja group from the Shadowkhan. Say hello to them!" the Demon Sorcerer said with a cold laugh.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

As Demon Sorcerer finished speaking, the Shadowkhan threw a barrage of darts, knives, and other hidden weapons. Valmont's gaze sharpened, but he was quick enough to dodge the attacks. His expression darkened as he questioned Demon Sorcerer, "Demon Sorcerer, is this how you greet people? If this is how you do it, it will be difficult for us to continue cooperating..."

"I won't cooperate with trash. If you want to cooperate, you'd better show your worth first!" Demon Sorcerer sneered, and some of the ninjas around him pulled out daggers, clubs, and other weapons, rushing towards Valmont.

"Hmph!" Valmont snorted coldly, and two Laser Gun fell from his sleeve into his hands, which were more sophisticated than the laser weapons used against the masked men who had dealt with Robet.

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

Valmont didn't waste any words, immediately firing his gun. Beams of laser light pierced through the Shadowkhan, turning them into black mist and vanishing. He then pointed his gun at Demon Sorcerer and coldly said, "Demon Sorcerer, are you satisfied with my strength? However, your subordinates are rather weak; it's a waste that they died at my hands..."

"Not bad, no wonder you were so confident when you faced me before, so you have special methods!" The Demon Sorcerer glanced coldly at Valmont, then said in a chilling voice, "Then, can you explain why, with such a weapon, you've had your Talisman stolen one after another, without bringing back a single one?!"

With a "whoosh!" sound, as the Demon Sorcerer's voice fell, a series of dark figures appeared once again, completely surrounding the secret chamber.

"Could it be that Talisman are the only extraordinary power in the world? Then where did my laser weapon come from? And how were you sealed away, Demon Sorcerer?" Valmont glanced at the Shadowkhan around him, his heart trembling, but his expression remained unchanged as he looked at Demon Sorcerer and asked.

"Furthermore, since you, Demon Sorcerer, have so many capable subordinates, why didn't you use them before and instead chose to cooperate with me? What are you afraid of?"

"You're questioning my strength?!" A cold glint flashed in Demon Sorcerer's eyes. All the Shadowkhan drew their weapons, and Demon Sorcerer's statue trembled slightly. A violent aura pressed down on Valmont's body, rendering him instantly immobile and making him feel as if death was approaching!

But it all happened in an instant. The violent aura vanished, and the surrounding Shadowkhan sheathed their weapons. Demon Sorcerer gave Valmont a deep look and said, "It's been a pleasure working with you, Valmont. They will cooperate with you from now on. I hope you can personally deliver the Talisman to me then, understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Demon Sorcerer, I will definitely not let you down again!" Valmont's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly replied with a smile.

Valmont quickly left the secret chamber, wiping the sweat from his brow with a sigh of relief. He glanced back at the chamber and muttered to himself, "That old guy really had other tricks up his sleeve! But it's not a complete loss; at least I seem to have gained a group of unkillable subordinates, although they don't seem to follow my orders normally..."

Inside the secret chamber, a hint of weariness flashed in Demon Sorcerer's eyes after Valmont left. He had expended a great deal of effort to subdue Valmont, especially since he was currently sealed away.

"The Shadowkhan is not my original force, so I still need to be cautious. After suppressing Valmont this time, he should be able to behave for a while. As long as I can get back a Talisman, I will have a chance to turn the tables!" Demon Sorcerer thought to himself as he looked in the direction Valmont had left, and slowly closed his eyes and fell into silence.

"This kid! Isn't he planning to come back?" At the Kent Farm, Clark, who had finally managed to keep it from the Kents and Kara's family, discovered that Robet had no intention of returning after separating from Jackie Chan and the El Toro Fuerte, leaving Clark speechless for a moment.

Clark had originally planned to tell Robet not to mention Diana when she returned, lest the truth be revealed, but Robet had no intention of returning at all.

Robet, unaware of Clark's inner thoughts, obtained a world map from the El Toro Fuerte. After roughly estimating his location, he proceeded according to the map's directions. As for his next stop, it was naturally the Temple of Athena...

It will be available for purchase at midnight on August 1st. I hope those who are following the story will support it then!
