Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

But soon, Calum seemed to realize something.

Why hasn't Lin En moved yet?

He raised his cup, inviting Lin En to drink together, wanting to personally watch Lin En drink that cup of God-given Water.

Lin En cursed in his heart.

But in this situation, he could only try to struggle again.

"Lord Calum." Lin En suddenly spoke.

"You just said your elder brother can go to the battlefield, while you can only manage internal affairs."

Calum's expression stiffened for a moment.

"If," Lin En continued.

"I mean if, if one day the Supreme King is gone, what would you do?"

Calum was stunned for a moment.

In that instant, the fanaticism on his face faded, replaced by some kind of complex expression.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Lin En shrugged.

"Nothing much, just curious."

Calum stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled.

That smile was not quite like the false smile from before.

Carrying vigilance.

"Governor Sir is truly perceptive." He said.

"But now, let's talk about your matter first."

He pointed to that cup of wine.

"Please."

Lin En's heart sank.

Just then, Calum lowered his head to glance at Lin En's cup.

His gaze changed.

"Governor Sir." His voice became dangerous.

"Your wine, it seems you haven't drunk it?"

Lin En felt sweat seem to slide down his forehead.

He lowered his head to look at his own cup.

Indeed, just now he had poured that cup of wine onto the floor, but the cup was still full.

And Calum's cup was already empty.

It's over.

Calum slowly stood up, his face gradually changing, that perfect smile disappearing, replaced by a kind of.

Carrying cruel anticipation.

"You haven't drunk, you never drank." His voice became low.

The surrounding space began to distort.

Those exquisite decorations, warm candlelight, began to flow and deform like melting wax.

Strange patterns appeared on the walls, and the floor began to undulate like a living thing.

Lin En wanted to stand up, wanted to resist, but he couldn't move.

His body was bound by invisible ropes, not even his fingers could move.

He desperately tried to regain control of his body, but the presence of that obstruction felt like a wall between him and his power.

He finally understood what it felt like when others were bound by him with the system back then.

That despair of being completely controlled, powerless.

Calum walked around the table, slowly approaching him.

With each step, his figure distorted and swelled.

That handsome face gradually turned into a demon's face.

Purple skin, curved goat horns, vertical pupils like a poisonous snake.

"Governor Sir." His voice became as smooth as silk, yet as dangerous as a poisonous snake.

"Did you think you were chatting with me? Successfully buying time?"

He extended his hand, that hand had already become a claw covered in purple scales.

"You don't know how long I've waited for this moment."

"From the moment you first stepped into Saint Galus Castle, from the moment you first established a connection with the 'Frost Dragon,' I've had my eye on you."

His claw drew closer and closer to Lin En's face.

"The secret on you, your connection with that Bug Race, and that strange power even He cannot see through."

"Everything will become an offering to the Lord of Pleasure."

Lin En struggled desperately to move, but still couldn't move.

He screamed madly in his heart: "Yami Luo!!!"

Just as that claw was about to touch his cheek.

Boom!!!

The restaurant door was kicked open with one foot.

Calum's hand stopped in midair.

He turned around fiercely, anger at having his fun interrupted flashing in his vertical pupils.

Standing at the doorway was a man wearing a purple Noble Gown.

He looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome face and a lazy air of nobility.

Complex patterns were embroidered on his clothes, and in Lin En's view, those patterns were slowly writhing.

Lin En felt this face looked somewhat familiar.

He remembered.

Chief Cui's birthday banquet.

This person had appeared at that banquet, sitting in the Corner, saying nothing the whole time, just drinking silently.

Back then Lin En only thought he was an unremarkable minor Noble and didn't pay much attention.

"Luo Ya." Calum's voice carried anger, "What are you here for?"

Luo Ya walked into the Restaurant, followed by several attendants likewise wearing purple robes.

He glanced at Lin En fixed to the Seat, then glanced at Calum, hooking a lazy smile at his Mouth Corner.

"Calum, doing this isn't very fair, is it?"

Calum's Vertical Pupils contracted.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Ya walked to the Table, picked up the purple bottle of wine, smelled it, and put it down disdainfully.

"What do I mean?" He looked at Calum, his gaze turning teasing.

"I mean, the Lord of Pleasure's plan—can it be decided by you alone?"

Calum's face twisted with anger.

"Luo Ya, do you want to stop me?!"

Luo Ya put away his smile, his Vertical Pupils trembling slightly with killing intent.

"I haven't received His will." He slowly walked toward Lin En.

"And..."

He stopped in front of Lin En, looking down at this trapped Governor.

"He's my prey that I set my eyes on first."

Lin En's brain spun rapidly.

From the Xian Ge Hao? Or when?

Could this person have been following him since before he landed on Brevis?

Then why had Lena never discovered it?

Could this person's hiding ability be stronger than Sorin's?

Calum's aura began to run wild, and the surrounding space twisted even more severely.

"Luo Ya, you're challenging my authority!"

"Authority?" Luo Ya raised an eyebrow.

"Do you have authority before the Lord of Pleasure?"

"We are both His servants—does it matter who finds the prey first?"

He looked at Lin En, his eyes carrying the same kind of desire.

"The key is, who can deliver this prey intact to Him."

Calum seemed to think of something, sticking out his forked tongue tip to tremble in the air.

He said in a teasing voice:

"Almost forgot—you wouldn't still be pursuing those ridiculous things with your 'Master', would you?"

Master? What's going on?

Lin En detected the subtext in Calum's words; this Lust Believer named Luo Ya.

Seemed not simply serving the Lord of Lust?

And Luo Ya seemed to have been hit right where it hurt, his expression turning even uglier.

The two men's confrontation made the air pressure in the Restaurant drop to the extreme.

Lin En was trapped in the Seat, unable to move, but his heart was madly calculating.

The two Lust Believers were feuding.

This was his only chance; he madly searched the system, looking for any function that could help him.

Just then, the Restaurant suddenly shook violently.

Boom!!!

The wall on the west side of the Restaurant was forcibly blasted open, gravel flying, smoke dust spreading.

Amidst the smoke dust, a huge figure rushed in.
