"I am curious. Are you saying this because you suspect me, or simply because you're afraid of dying?"
Sky Dog chuckled, his smile full of amusement.
Naturally, Zhu Yan answered with silence.
Those words...
There was no way to answer!
If he admitted to suspecting Sky Dog, then once the Final Decisive Battle began, Sky Dog would have ample reason not to rescue him, or even to sabotage him in secret.
The fragile alliance they had finally managed to forge might collapse over this.
After all, in the final battle, even Demon Gods faced the risk of falling, and that risk was far from small.
Scheming against one another at a time like this would only hasten their deaths.
"Zhu Yan didn't mean that."
"You know how stupid he is."
Another peacemaker stepped forward, though his attempt to smooth things over made Zhu Yan's expression darken.

"Are you sure you want to deepen your conflict with him at a time like this?"
"Sky Dog is a lunatic."

His Snake Servant had not come to greet him.
"Heh..."
"Interesting."
A moment later, Sky Dog chuckled
