Chapter 274 : Test Results

"Am I to understand that you are declaring war on The Thirteen Greats? And your search warrant, it actually claims that the carrots passed down through generations by the Doer Tribe cannot guarantee safety, right? That's too far-fetched!"

Amaymon's mouth twitched. It was indeed far-fetched, but…

"This is an official document from our Border Control."

As a colonel in the Fang Squad, Amaymon naturally had enough nerve to say such a thing without a blush. Meanwhile, Iruma also discovered Nova's… unique qualities?

"Nova's physique is incredibly strong!" Iruma exclaimed.

After a few days of training, whether due to another growth spurt or Nova's inherent uniqueness, Nova had already grown another head taller.

"Goku," Iruma suddenly thought of a character from a Japanese anime. "But according to my brother, shouldn't this be called the Six-Eared Macaque? But…" Iruma looked strangely at Nova, who was currently performing a chest-breaking-boulders act.

"Emm… it's not quite the same as what my brother described. It's more like the Stone Monkey he mentioned… but I feel like I'm being led astray, what's going on?"

At the same time,

"The Delkira Seal. Its use, not to mention needing to pass severe scrutiny, also requires permission from Three Greats and an audit that takes at least half a year. How did you get it?"

Narnia looked at Anri in front of him and asked.

It turned out that just now, when the Fang Squad was about to make a move on Mephisto, Skala from the Claw Squad flew over, interrupting the tension between the two.

"Amaymon, remember your job is limited to investigation and reporting. It doesn't seem to permit you to engage in combat, does it?" Skala asked Colonel Amaymon.

"I have permission from Lord Fenrir, the Deputy Director of the Border Control. This matter has been fully entrusted to me and the Fang Squad. Get out of my way, Skala!" Colonel Amaymon said, pulling out his proof and looking at Skala.

Hearing this, Skala's face darkened, and then he also pulled out a notice from Director Anri, which had a huge goat head on it.

"Delkira… Seal."

"Shut your mouth and sheathe your fangs. You'll cause trouble for Lord Fenrir behind you, you know."

Colonel Amaymon took the notice, scoffed, and then said,

"Everyone, disarm! Form ranks! Retreat!"

Skala then turned to Mephisto.

"I will now take the Fang Squad and leave. I will arrange to send a formal apology for this disturbance at a later date, Lord Mephisto. Please be lenient."

Anri, who had been calmly drinking tea at another table, put down his cup.

"I merely avoided a conflict between the Border Control and The Thirteen Greats, Lord Mephisto. I understand that you know the implications of the Doer Tribe's inclination towards independence for the Demon World, but this matter is not enough to be a bargaining chip to provoke Lord Mephisto. Besides… your target shouldn't be that Lord, should it? Narnia, although you've become one of The Thirteen Greats and are in opposition to my stance, there is still a gap between us: experience! Long before you became one of The Thirteen Greats, I had been in this position for a long time. The scope of your abilities, the resources your influence can mobilize—these are things you, as a new member of The Thirteen Greats, probably still need to understand, right? Perhaps, after becoming one of The Thirteen Greats, any indulgence is allowed, and that is entirely correct. However, this time, my indulgence is merely above your intelligence."

Anri finished speaking and stood up.

"Oh, about this matter, write me a report." Anri adjusted his glasses before leaving the room.

"Let me think, write it as: 'Just a slight loosening of the leash caused the trained dog to accidentally lose control.'"

As the door closed, Narnia looked towards the doorway.

"'Trained dog,' is he referring to me? Or the Fang Squad? He's really bold, hmph…" Narnia looked at the drawer and pulled out a file.

"Human Forced Repatriation Act."

It contained detailed implementation and overview, as well as… relevant cases.

"Anri, just wait. A wild wolf that knows freedom won't easily return to its restraints. Perhaps it might even bite its owner."

Upon hearing Mephisto's words, Iruma and the others were also startled, realizing what had just happened.

"The Border Control is truly formidable… We only discussed this matter a little within the Doer Tribe," Iruma said with a hint of fear.

Azu, standing nearby, thought more deeply. First, the Border Control immediately sent people after learning of the Doer Tribe's desire for independence. Logically, if they hadn't announced anything and hadn't done anything, the Border Control shouldn't have immediately brought people, not even the Border Control, not even the Doer Tribe. So… the most likely explanation is that this place has been under surveillance. Who? Who would monitor Lord Iruma? Or rather… disrupt Lord Iruma's Skala?

While Azu was still contemplating, Mephisto had already moved closer to Iruma, beginning to claim credit. When Azu regained his senses, he immediately felt a sense of urgency. He didn't know why this demon… was also deliberately approaching Lord Iruma. Whether it was by the sea or recently, he always felt… that if this male demon was allowed to continue, something big would happen… "Lord Iruma, wait for me, I just brought some delicious treats."

…"So, my Skala can end?" Shesi looked at Amaymon.

"Ah, en." Amaymon threw down his sweat-wiping towel and then nodded, saying,

"Actually, if it weren't for putting on a show, you could have left half a month ago. It's just that your progress recently has surprised me so much that I couldn't help but keep you for a little longer." Amaymon smiled. Hearing this, Shesi's eyes narrowed, and he looked seriously at Amaymon.

"Thank you, Teacher." In this past month, the combat techniques Amaymon taught had greatly benefited Shesi, so calling him "Teacher" was perfectly appropriate.

Amaymon murmured thoughtfully, "Teacher, huh… I'll reluctantly accept your title." Amaymon rubbed his nose, saying it proudly.

Seeing this, Shesi shook his head. Wolves are very tsundere, it's true.

At home,

"Shesi and Iruma are returning today, right?"

Opera nodded.

"Yes."

"They should be fine, right? They shouldn't have gone hungry, should they?"

"Don't worry, Lord Sullivan, dinner is already prepared."

Hearing this, Grandpa Sullivan, who was rolling on the floor,

"Ah ah ah ah ah~ It's been so long since I've seen Shesi and Iruma~ I miss them so much! Joy and worry are churning inside me!"

Hearing this, Opera swept Sullivan's tears together while comforting him,

"They both sounded very energetic in their Link calls. Lord Sullivan, just greet them as usual."

Hearing this, Sullivan looked up at the two dining carts prepared with a special healing meal.

"You say that, but aren't you also preparing something more elaborate than usual?"

Maybe it's not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.

"And If you're enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!"
