As soon as Lith, Sofia, Anna, and Song Lin stepped outside, they saw Tom and the city lord standing there, looking at them. Anna joked, "Are the city lord and the young master of the Great Rock family here to take revenge on us?"
Both the city lord and Tom hurriedly shook their heads at Anna's words.
The city lord replied, "Miss Anna, we truly didn't know you were staying here. The actions of that servant have nothing to do with us. We are here to apologize."
Tom added, "Yes, we are really here to apologize to you."
Anna was about to tease them again when she heard Lith's voice say, "Don't tease them anymore. Let's go and tour the city."
Whenever Anna was with Lith or Sofia, she became playful. Song Lin was surprised to see this side of Anna, who was known as the Iceberg Beauty.
"Okay, honey, let's go," Anna said. In private, she always called Lith "honey."
Both the city lord and Tom were taken aback when they heard Anna address someone so affectionately. When they looked up, they noticed a boy around 17 years old standing there. He had platinum hair and a pair of golden eyes, with irises surrounded by a purple ring of runes. His physique was perfect, and he was looking at them.
When their eyes met, both the city lord and Tom were horrified to find themselves in a vast, starry sky, one far more noble and majestic than the current sky. To their terror, they felt as though they were being assimilated into this celestial expanse. But just at that moment, they were pulled back to reality, hearing Lith say, "Don't look into my eyes again without permission."
Both the city lord and Tom nodded hurriedly, tears of blood streaming from their eyes.
Meanwhile, Lith secretly sighed in relief. He hadn't realized his eyes had such an effect. He wondered why Anna and the others weren't affected.
Then the city lord asked, "Who are you?"
Anna responded, "Meet my fiancé, Lith Evure Elderblood."
Hearing this, the city lord breathed a sigh of relief. Tom, on the other hand, was shocked. Tom's second brother had loved Anna since childhood, but Anna had never given him a chance. She had even chosen a fiancé who was an ordinary human with no power. Everyone in Anna's family had advised her to choose his brother, but Anna was adamant about her choice. This led to her being kicked out by her mother and stepfather.
Anna's real father had arranged the engagement before his passing. That's why everyone thought Anna was merely trying to fulfill her late father's wishes and pretending to be happy with Lith, a boy thousands of years younger than herself.
Tom asked in bewilderment, "Wasn't your fiancé Ye Chan from the Ye family?"
At this, Anna replied, "Oh! I forgot to mention, he is the former young master of the Ye family, also known as Ye Chan."
Tom's mind went blank for a moment. He was shocked. Wasn't Ye Chan considered useless? How had he become so powerful? Looking at the boy before him, Tom wondered how he could have ever looked weak or useless.
At that moment, Lith suddenly asked Sofia, "Can I get the corpses of the demons I killed in the previous battle?"
"Of course you can. But why do you need them?" Sofia inquired.
"You'll find out later," Lith replied.
Sofia smiled sweetly at him.
Witnessing Lith and Sofia's casual conversation, both Tom and the city lord were stunned. Even the guardians would not dare speak to Sofia so casually. Tom was shocked for another reason as well. He had heard of the previous battle and had intended to invite the man to join the Rock family, but he never imagined that the man would be Lith, the so-called useless child of the Ye family.
He then asked politely, "What is your relationship with Lith, Lady Sofia?"
Sofia responded, "He is my student."
This nearly gave Tom a heart attack.
He cursed the Ye family for branding Lith as useless. He knew they treated Ye Chan poorly and thought how foolish that family was. If it were the Rock family or any other respectable family, they would treat Lith like an ancestor.
Soon, they arrived at the warehouse where the demon corpses were stored. The city lord quickly asked the man in charge to open the door and introduced himself.
"Hello, esteemed guests. I am the lord of this base city; my name is Jack. If you need anything while in this base city, please let me know, and I will do my best to fulfill your request."
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
The door to the warehouse opened, and as they entered, they were met with a strong smell of blood. They saw piles of demon corpses stacked like mountains. Tom was shocked by the sheer number, and even Anna was taken aback.
The staff member in charge replied, "Sir, there are 90 million demon corpses here. The handling fee is 10 million alliance coins."
Hearing this, the city lord quickly said, "Sir, you don't need to pay the handling fee."
But Anna shook her head and handed over the money. Anna was very wealthy.
After receiving the payment, the staff left.
Then Sofia said to Lith, "You can start now."
Lith looked at Anna and said, "I will repay you soon."
Anna gently slapped Lith's head and said, "There's no need. What's mine is also yours. If you insist on returning the money, I'll be upset with you."
Lith surrendered and then used his Endless Treasure House talent.
Soon, a golden portal appeared above, and all the demon corpses were sucked inside.
