What the Hell, You Idiot!

However, this deathly silence did not last long. The hoarse, twisted laughter of Magic Creature began to echo all around. Candice, this bastard, dared to fight back, which gave them a perfect opportunity to teach this ignorant fool a lesson and let this filthy trash know whose territory this was.

They walked upright or crawled on the ground, gradually forming a circle and surrounding Candice. A deep malice could be seen in their twisted and ugly faces.

They wouldn't mind killing Candice here.

The world of Magic Creature is far more chaotic than that of humans, with endless battles between them. No one cares if hundreds of Magic Creature die, let alone a mixed-blood mongrel.

Candice, however, maintained a faint, indifferent smile; she was not afraid.

With her strength, she wouldn't be afraid of these things surrounding her at all.

However, at that moment, a figure walked out of the palace. Candice recognized the Magic Creature. The guy's name was Dorgo, and he had the blood of Demon Wolf flowing in his veins. It was said that he was the product of Succubus mating with Demon Wolf in search of excitement.

He was Ramon Meng's most capable subordinate, and very strong.

Dorgo glanced at Candice casually. Although they both had Succubus blood flowing through their veins, making them both half-bloods... Dorgo had the right to look down on Candice, after all, Candice's other half was human, while Dorgo's other half was Demon Wolf.

The Demon Wolf are a very powerful race among Magic Creature, and they are a group under the command of the second prince.

His eyes were filled with disdain, as if he wanted to see Candice torn to shreds and covered in blood amidst the onslaught of these Magic Creature.

But he did not forget his master's instructions.

"Stop!"

Dorgo spoke in a low voice.

The numerous Magic Creature around them stopped moving, but still stared at Candice with malicious eyes.

"Candice, Prince Ramon allows you, of lowly status, to behold his majestic countenance."

They're clearly a bunch of wild beasts, yet they try to imitate the etiquette of human nobles... It's utterly ridiculous.

Candice inwardly scoffed, but a look of utmost honor appeared on her face as she bowed slightly. "It's my honor."

Led by Dorgo, Candice entered the Seventh Prince's palace.

The palace was large, but it still seemed very narrow compared to the Seventh Prince's towering figure. It is said that in order to build this palace worthy of his status, Ramon used tens of thousands of Magic Creature, and countless others died from exhaustion.

That enormous, bloated body was still crammed onto the throne... This guy's seat was made entirely according to the specifications of Demon King, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know his true thoughts.

This guy was as filthy as ever, reeking of a nauseating stench.

Candice placed one hand on her chest and bowed slightly. "Candice greets His Highness the Seventh Prince."

Ramon nodded slightly, waved away the other subordinates around him, and then looked at the tiny woman in front of him. "Candice, I... cough cough, I just saved you."

Candice almost burst out laughing.

To have a Magic Creature bully you, then have its subordinates rescue you from danger, and then treat that as a favor? Does Ramon really think others won't see through such a crude and simple scheme? Or did he prepare this childish welcoming method for the past few hours?

If that's the case, then Candice will have to lower her opinion of Ramon again.

Candice lowered her eyelids, obscuring her purple eyes. "Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's good that you know how to be grateful. Now that you've come all the way from the Imperial City the Orwell Empire to see me, I hope you can offer me something of value." Ramon was very satisfied with Candice's reaction. He made a deep, resonant sound that echoed through the palace like muffled thunder.

"Your Highness..." Candice carefully chose her words, "This time, I have brought you a deal."

"A deal?" Ramon seemed somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, Your Highness, I have my own special channels for obtaining intelligence. The whereabouts of Benson and Ronald were all provided by a mysterious person," Candice said.

Ramon became interested; killing Benson had instantly boosted his status among Magic Creature: "What's the deal?"

"That gentleman will continue to provide clues to help His Highness capture Ronald, but in return, he hopes that you will Ronald to him after he is captured, including all of Ronald's belongings," Candice said.

Ramon frowned immediately, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant. He was actually going to hand over the members of the Hero's Party that he had painstakingly captured to someone else? This made him rather unhappy.

Who do you think you are? Princess Saya, the Dark Witch?

"Of course, that gentleman assured me that he would kill Ronald himself, and the honor after killing Ronald would still belong to His Highness the Prince," Candice added.

"How can I believe he would actually kill Ronald instead of taking the opportunity to rescue Ronald?" Ramon retorted.

"It's very simple. This gentleman seems to have a deep-seated grudge against the members of the Hero's Party. If he really wanted to rescue Ronald, he wouldn't need to inform His Highness of Ronald's whereabouts... In fact, he wanted to kill Benson himself back Benson, but the gentleman felt that this was the first deal, so he gave up his plan to have you hand Benson over to him. He said that the first deal was enough to prove his sincerity."

Candice's explanation made a lot of sense to Ramon.

Even if that mysterious person really demanded Benson, he couldn't hand Benson over to that person... After all, he couldn't defy the terrifying Dark Witch.

Clearly, Ramon didn't want to accept the deal willingly. He was deep in thought when suddenly Ramon large eyes turned to Candice again, "That person should have already told you the information, right?"

"Yes," Candice replied immediately.

"Then, I think my loyal subordinate, you certainly wouldn't hide this information from me, would you?" Ramon grinned maliciously.

"Of course, if Your Highness wishes to know, I can tell you immediately." Candice nodded immediately, and Ramon was overjoyed, but Candice's next words quickly darkened Ramon's expression.

"However, that gentleman also indicated that if he did not receive the payment he desired, he would refuse to cooperate with you in the future, and he would no longer provide me with any information, instead seeking cooperation partners among other princes."

This is not good news for Ramon.

With so many princes, the competition for the Demon King's affections is fierce.

This time, thanks to his merit in killing Benson, Ramon stood out from the many princes, but his position was not secure. If that mysterious man cooperated with the other princes, he could be brought down at any time, which was a scene that Ramon absolutely did not want to see.

Ramon's ambitions are immense; he doesn't just want to be a Demon King prince, he wants to be the next Demon King.

Candice's words stirred some dissatisfaction within Ramon; was this a threat?

"Who exactly is that person?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't know. That person's background is very mysterious, and he is very powerful. He always appears suddenly in front of me and tells me information. As for his identity, I have absolutely no clue," Candice said apologetically.

Useless stuff.

"However, that gentleman said that His Highness Ramon is a genius, exceptionally intelligent, and the smartest of all the princes. He certainly wouldn't make such a foolish decision."

These words immediately brought a smile to Ramon's face.

Although the guy's threats annoyed Ramon, he still had good judgment.

Ramon also felt that he was the most intelligent among all the princes and princesses.

Apart from myself, all of Dad's other sons and daughters are a bunch of idiots.

"He also said that Prince Ramon is not only resourceful but also incredibly powerful, possessing the qualities of Demon King!"

Ramon's heart skipped a beat. His huge eyes narrowed into slits as he grew increasingly fond of the mysterious man he had never met before. Although he was just a filthy human, his taste was quite good.

He stated that, if possible, he hopes to continue working with you indefinitely and is unwilling to seek other partners...

"He's even willing to keep providing intelligence to help you secure your position Demon King's successor."

Ramon's breathing became somewhat rapid.

Candice added fuel to the fire, "When we parted, he said that the current Demon King was utterly useless, having long lost his former vigor, and should voluntarily relinquish the position so that the more capable Demon King Ramon could take over."

He felt that the mysterious man was becoming more and more to his liking, and he also felt that his father was becoming more and more useless. He locked himself in the research room all day, tinkering with something, and didn't care at all about the great achievements of the Magic Creature in conquering the Skyvault Continent. He was not qualified to continue to stay in that position.

Of course, he's smart enough not to say such things out loud.

"He's even willing to go to great lengths to overthrow the current Demon King and ascend the throne for you."

Ramon's heart pounded, and he inexplicably felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

"However, I felt his words were too contrary to my own beliefs, so I took it upon myself to decline..."

Damn it, who told you to cancel?

Ramon almost roared out loud.

Chapter 195 Holy crap, you idiot (5)

Ramon jumped to his feet, nearly hitting his head on the ceiling.

Damn you, who gave you the right to refuse on my behalf?

Ramon couldn't help but want to curse.

Because of Candice's words, he developed a liking for the mysterious person he had never met. Although he was just a dirty human, he was clever and could provide important information. Most importantly, he had good judgment.

With this person's help, his merits will increase, and his reputation among the Magic Creature will rise higher and higher.

At that time, he will be surrounded by a large number of powerful Magic Creature, and it is not impossible for him to overthrow his father and become the true Demon King... Magic Creature have a very long lifespan, and if he waits until that guy naturally dies of old age, who knows how long that will take? Ramon does not have that kind of patience.

Of course, he will make proper arrangements for his father's affairs after his abdication.

Such a great opportunity, and Candice turned it down? How infuriating!

Seeing Candice staring at him with surprise, Ramon seemed to realize that his reaction was a bit off. He coughed softly, "Ahem, Candice, you... you... you did very well, um, very well, extremely well."

"To actually attempt to overthrow the King is utterly rebellious."

"As a prince, I should have personally punished him."

"However, considering his service to me, I will not hold it against him. By the way, in the future, do not make decisions for me on your own. Always ask me first before making any decisions."

Ramon's reaction almost made Candice burst out laughing. This guy practically had his thoughts written all over his face. Did Ramon really think he was the Demon King?

He didn't even realize that he had started referring to himself as "this king" all the time.

If someone like Ramon were to become the Demon King, the Magic Creature would truly be doomed.

Ramon suppressed his impulse and sat down again. He realized that his reaction just now had been somewhat inappropriate. "Ahem... Alright, I agree to his request. We can cooperate."

"Now you can tell me his information, right?"

"Of course." Candice nodded immediately. "According to that mysterious person, it wasn't just Ronald, a member of the Hero's Party, who entered the Demonic Beast Territory; there was also another person, Eileen, one of the Twin Thieves."

Ramon's eyes suddenly lit up. Two members of the Hero's Party —that meant two credits!

"It's because Ronald has always had a Thief Saint assisting him in hiding that you haven't been able to detect the two's whereabouts... However, although Eileen has a way to help Ronald hide, she can't break through the layers of blockade you've set up. The two should still be trapped in the Third Princess's territory."

Ramon fell into deep thought. This was indeed very important information, but simply knowing this didn't seem to be enough to allow him to capture Ronald and Eileen immediately.

Candice felt a little helpless at Ramon's appearance. She gently rubbed her forehead and continued, "Your Highness Ramon, can you now determine the approximate location of Ronald?"

Ramon nodded his enormous head. "Sure, no matter how meticulous the search, the scent of humans is still quite distinctive in the territory of Magic Creature. It's not difficult to pinpoint Ronald's approximate location, but every time we try to find him carefully, Ronald manages to escape..."

"So, that gentleman's suggestion is not to search so carefully anymore..." Candice smiled broadly, "Although it might be a bit wasteful, why not, once we've determined the approximate location, simply gather thousands or tens of thousands of magical Magic Creature and launch a comprehensive attack on this area?"

"The Thief Saint's stealth ability is extremely powerful; even the most discerning Magic Creature cannot see through it."

"But even if they can conceal their whereabouts, they cannot escape a comprehensive attack. Once the attack reaches their hiding place, it will be destroyed."

"At that time, wouldn't those two be lambs to the slaughter?"

"Perhaps that Thief Saint has a way to escape, but Ronald definitely won't get away."

This is a method that Lord Horus specifically devised for Ramon... simple and straightforward, since Ramon might not understand anything too complicated.

Ramon's eyes grew brighter and brighter; this was indeed a very feasible method. "Ahem, this prince... thinks the same way. His idea coincides with mine, yes, coincides."

"Then go back and tell him that after I capture Ronald, I will hand Ronald over to him to torture personally. I also hope that he can provide me with more useful information."

"I know... Oh, right, Your Highness, that gentleman also instructed that you should treat Ronald well before handing him over," Candice said quickly, remembering something.

Entertain?

This made Ramon somewhat unhappy.

We finally caught them, are we supposed to treat them well and keep them comfortable?

Is it for detaining criminals or for entertaining VIPs?

Candice sighed helplessly, "I think that gentleman means you can torture Ronald as much as you want, after all, they have a deep-seated hatred between them, as long as Ronald's life is spared."

On the other side.

After many days of preparation, the newly formed Hero's Party finally set off.

Karin was temporarily entrusted to Miss Louisa, Natia's best friend, by Qin Chu, in the hope that she wouldn't be led astray.

The Hero's Party has gained eight new members, expanding from the original eight to sixteen.

Apart from Muse, Ronald, and Eileen, who were unable to attend, the other thirteen followed the Hero to the front lines in a grand procession.

Everyone knows that this is an extremely powerful force. Angelica and Antasia are slightly weaker, but apart from these two, everyone else's strength is impeccable.

However, this was the first time the Hero had truly gone to the battlefield, and all forces attached great importance to it, determined not to let the Hero suffer any mishap. Therefore, the Holy Church, the Earth Mother Church, and the Royal Family all arranged for a large number of elite troops to accompany him.

The leader of the Earth Mother Church was none other than the Holy Son Onions... This man was handsome, but extremely naive. He didn't have the qualifications, but his nepotism was incredibly powerful.
