Chapter 632 Should I become the 8th Demon General?
Chapter 632 Should I become the 8th Demon General?
"Based on our observations, although you have participated in several wars, your strength has improved too quickly, which is completely beyond what normal cultivation can achieve."
Therefore, we believe you possess a magical item that can help you cultivate.
This item must be Pandora's Box!
Webster turned slightly towards Anno and said this with a smile.
Liz and Sassi, who were with Anno, naturally knew what Pandora's Box was.
So when the two women heard Webster say those words, they immediately assumed a fighting stance.
Webster took in the two women's actions, his smile unwavering, and said, "Believe me, fighting with me is not a good choice."
Upon hearing this, Liz and Sassi exchanged a glance.
Although neither of them felt pressured by Webster, that was because Webster was not hostile.
Even though both women are [Guardians], the difference between the seventh and ninth ranks is still huge!
Moreover, Webster is also a Protector!
"You two, step back!"
Faced with the huge gap in strength, Anno dared not let the two women take any risks.
"That's right, I came with the utmost sincerity." Webster's meaning was clear.
If he were hostile to Anno, he would have started a war right away.
As for the whereabouts of Pandora's Box, we can use the [Word of Power] to force Anno to hand it over.
The reason they didn't do that was because Webster had another matter to attend to during his visit.
"President Anno, the Demon King values you highly."
"Besides asking you for Pandora's Box, I've also brought an invitation from the Demon King."
Anno frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"After Truman's death, only seven of the Eight Demon Generals remained."
For years, no suitable demon has been able to fill the position, so the eighth spot has remained vacant.
You have now reached the eighth rank, meeting the minimum requirements to become one of the Eight Demon Generals.
"If you come, you'll be the eighth Demon General!"
As he spoke, Webster turned sideways and extended his right hand toward Anno, as if to say, "Welcome to the Demon King's army."
"The Eighth Demon General?"
Anno's lips twitched.
The Demon King actually gave him some face.
The problem is, he was a perfectly good adventurer's guild leader, but he went and became the eighth demon general, working for the demon king.
Wouldn't all adventurers then lose their faith?
The guild will probably become the target of everyone's criticism at that time!
Anno was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can I refuse?"
"Pandora's Box must be handed over. As for the Eighth Demon General..."
Webster said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to be one, we have two candidates anyway."
Of course, it's possible that the number of demon generals will expand from eight to nine in the future.
As far as the Demon King is concerned, he can cultivate any talented person he finds.
I think you understand this now.
"I understood the moment you opened your mouth!"
Anno gave a bitter smile.
Those who can summon Pandora's Box naturally know information about it.
After Anno encountered the ghoul Jin and the bone dragon Chris in Hidden Dragon City and their levels increased rapidly, he guessed that they had a Pandora's Box.
Webster's arrival proved this conjecture.
The two Demon General candidates Webster just mentioned are probably King and Chris.
"In that case, go and get Pandora's Box. I know you wouldn't keep something so valuable on you."
Webster had examined Anno's belongings but found no Pandora's Box.
Given that Pandora's Box cannot be placed in storage equipment, Anno must have hidden it somewhere else.
Webster looked at Liz and Sassi, then suddenly changed his tone, saying in a low voice, "You two, stand behind me and wait for your master to return!"
His voice seemed to possess a magical quality.
Upon hearing this, Liz and Sassi moved away from Anno and stood behind Webster.
"Master, our bodies are out of control."
Anno could see the panic in the eyes of the two women as they turned around.
Seeing that Liz and Sassi were still arguing, Webster added, "Silence them!"
Then, Liz and Sassi's voices abruptly stopped.
"Actually, I could just order you to hand over Pandora's Box."
Webster said with his unchanging smile, "However, you are someone the Demon King has taken a liking to, so I will not do that to you!"
This is a sign of respect, so please cooperate and don't try anything funny.
"I see!"
Although Anuo was panicking inside, she still pretended to be calm on the outside.
"I left the items in Kuala Lumpur; it will take some time to get there and back."
Webster waved his hand and said, "Go get it. I also have some things to take care of."
Anno glanced at Liz and Sassi, giving them a reassuring look, and then had Adelaide start flying towards Xuelong City.
In fact, the return journey was just a smokescreen; Pandora's box was actually located within Anno's evil king's domain.
But Anno couldn't reveal his secret directly to Webster.
So we still need to make this trip.
"Just as I suspected, Webster's [Word of Power] can directly affect the target!"
Anno was also covered in cold sweat at this moment.
If Webster directly uses [Word of Power] on Anno, causing him to hand over Pandora's Box.
Webster will likely exceed the Demon King's expectations.
However, because of the "respect" Webster showed Anno, Anno had the opportunity to interfere—Webster seemed unaware that Anno now had two Pandora's Boxes.
Otherwise, he would have said the exact number.
"As expected of the number one demon general, he's truly terrifying!"
Given the current situation, Anno has no choice but to give one of the Pandora to Webster.
"However, now that the Demon King has noticed me, will other people with ulterior motives also notice me?"
Perhaps Webster's arrival is not a bad thing for me.
I can also use him to divert the attention of those who are fixated on me to the Demon King.
