The countdown to The End was about to finish.
The members of the Mobius Guild all left early.
They had already received the Demon's [Redemption], and everyone expressed their thanks to Ye Qiyan.
But they did not know.
The Demon's Redemption came at a price.
And that price was their lives.
After today, as far as Ye Qiyan was concerned, the Mobius Guild was completely under his control.
If he wished.
All the core members of this guild would turn into Demons in an instant.
Of course.
The prerequisite for Redemption to turn someone into a Demon was their betrayal~
And he was the one who decided exactly what constituted betrayal.
The last person to leave was Zhang Shiqi.
The guild leader of the Mobius Guild.
After everyone else had left, he approached Ye Qiyan with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Mr Ye... the others in our guild might not sense it, but I can more or less feel something. We're... already in the palm of your hand, aren't we?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Because Ding Xiuqi only commissioned you to save us from that flower beast, not to use your power to wake us afterward. Waking us came at a price. Although I don't know exactly what that price is, I..."
He was a clever man.
Zhang Shiqi knew very well that the young man before him only appeared to be a kind Hero.
But was that really the case?
No...
He was a Demon.
Someone everyone saw as a Hero, who had saved numerous cities and defeated one powerful enemy after another, who had entered the Wasteland less than two years ago yet had grown into a Hero whom countless people feared, envied, and admired.
But...
In this Wasteland, could a kind "Hero" really reach his heights?
