Upon hearing that, Velix was shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Albert has returned? How is that possible? Shouldn't he, along with Jim, Natasya, Rain, Guren, the heroes, and the rest of humanity's army, have been captured by the Demon Emperor?" Velix muttered in surprise.
He frowned, trying to understand the reason behind Albert's return. None of the possibilities made sense, so he decided to set those thoughts aside for now.
With Albert's return, there was still hope that Jim, Natasya, Rain, Guren, and the heroes might still be alive in the Demon Emperor's grasp.
Velix took a deep breath, steadying his emotions before speaking. "I give my permission. Bring Albert to me."
Moments later, a middle-aged man with a stern expression and a well-built frame stepped into the throne room.
As Velix's gaze landed on him, his heart raced, and his fists clenched with anticipation.
