As soon as Ares spoke, even the most powerful presence in the room, Calderon, was slightly subdued.
Ares was indeed the helper invited by Shadow Nine! Only Shadow Nine could persuade Ares to assist with his plan.
Even though Mike had guessed this much, he still couldn't see through Shadow Nine's true objective. What was this old fool planning?!
A rare sense of frustration welled up in Mike's heart. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, almost wanting to go up and punch the Archdemon himself.
"Calm your mind!" Cedric's cold voice cut through his thoughts. "The Supreme Demon God's aura is affecting you too much, breeding evil thoughts. If you can't maintain your composure, I'll have to send you away from here."
Mike took several deep breaths, muttering to himself. His mind quickly returned to a state of calm, sweeping away the previous frustration and gloom, making him appear like a sage in meditation.
