That was true.
She was already meat on the chopping block.
There was no reason for him to lie to her.
Yet a moment later...
Alice still could not help asking, "Then, Mr. Lin Luo, who exactly are you?"
Lin Luo rose from his seat and smiled. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Lin Luo, a devil."
"???"
Alice looked utterly bewildered.
After studying Lin Luo for a moment, she smiled. "Mr. Lin Luo, please stop joking."
"People possessed by devils are almost always women."
"Besides, there isn't the slightest trace of devil transformation on you."
Lin Luo shook his head and said calmly, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not someone possessed by a devil."
"I'm a genuine devil."
As his words fell...
A soft ripping sound rang out.
A pair of devil wings unfurled behind him.
Whoosh!
A breeze howled.
Powerful currents of air swirled through the room.
At the sight, Alice froze completely.
A devil?
An actual devil out of legend?
Alice stared at Lin Luo, her mind grinding to a halt.
And she...
Had fallen into a devil's clutches.
Thinking about it further...
This symbol of calamity had appeared right in the Kingdom and targeted her younger sister before coming after her.
No matter how she looked at it...
This was a tremendous crisis.
Seeing her expression, Lin Luo chuckled. "Now that you know my true identity, you can no longer stay out of this."
"Alice, will you become my familiar?"
"Huh?"
Alice froze.
The subject had changed so quickly that she could not quite keep up.
"A familiar is someone who offers their soul and body to me."
At those words, Alice's face flushed bright red.
So that was what he was after.
He really was a devil.
Wait.
He actually was a devil, so that made sense.
