Uss was thrown out, lying on the ground for more than ten seconds before struggling to get up. He had a swollen face and looked extremely disheveled.
He was confused by Green's sudden attack. He didn't expect someone he thought was an ally to suddenly attack him, so he quickly shouted, "Stop! I'm on your side, Lord Green! You've got the wrong person!"
But Green's response crushed his hope. "No, I got the right person."
"Eh?..."
Only when Uss noticed that Green was displeased did he finally realize the seriousness of the situation.
But he was puzzled. He clearly hadn't done anything wrong, and the other party had no knowledge of the incident. Even if they did, there shouldn't be any evidence.
It seemed like Green noticed his confusion and sneered. "Heh, you thought you could keep it hidden? In the dungeon earlier, Heisis has already told me everything that happened back then, although the credibility is questionable. But what you just did, you should know best in your heart."
Without Green spelling it out, Uss instantly understood what Green meant.
Obviously, Green noticed the use of emotional manipulation, and he noticed it precisely in this state.
There was no doubt that Green now had every reason to believe Heisis' words.
As a minister, why would he manipulate the country's princess if there were no issues? If Heisis were not currently out of control, there could be a possibility of destroying everything in sight, just like what happened with the Sinful Mage incident.
In fact, Uss had tried to control Heisis as he had done in the past but found it ineffective. Heisis' will was too firm, and he couldn't do anything to her.
This was only natural.
In his many years of survival, Heisis had long become indifferent to life and death. He came here with a determination to die. He didn't choose the safest way because he no longer had any reason to live.
"Damn it! You bastard!"
Uss cursed in pain.
Upon hearing their conversation and recalling Green's attack and his own sudden state of being like enchanted, Aloof suddenly understood something.
Although not entirely clear, the reason he acted strangely just now was Minister Uss.
So, almost instinctively, everyone focused their hostility on Uss.
After hearing Green's words, Heisis smiled gratefully at him. "It feels good to earn such trust before dying, doesn't it?"
A dry smile appeared on Heisis' lips. At the same time, the Flame Lizard King seemed to sense Heisis' emotions, and the flames burning on its body became even more intense, equal to Lilith's flames.
Of course, in terms of sheer destructive power, there was still a significant difference between the two.
"Uss, do you have anything to say at this point? You did that to me back then, and now it's time for you to pay the price! Uss, die!"
"You beast! There's no way I'll let you succeed!"
Uss cursed in pain, then mustered all his strength to escape frantically. However, with his sluggish speed, he had no chance of eluding the Flame Lizard King's grip.
He struggled for a moment, but the burning flames only caused him to feel heat, and his body didn't ignite.
This was a deliberate act by the Flame Lizard.
Heisis wouldn't let Uss die so easily.
"Back then, you caused me to lose everything, even my own children's lives. And now, it's time for you to pay for your actions." As Heisis spoke, a violent surge of energy erupted from within his body.
Green felt the energy and was briefly startled, but Aloof reacted first. "He... he's going to self-destruct!"
Aloof shouted loudly, and Green was momentarily stunned. He didn't expect Xihaisi to use such an extreme move. However, just based on Uss's previous action, Green no longer had a reason to save him.
After all, Uss was just a minister, and whether he existed or not didn't make much of a difference to Green. After all, the Green Kingdom had very few people, and Farcist was not his own country.
"Your actions just now could almost be considered an accusation of harming the princess. Regardless of how it is defined by the law, at least I don't think there's a need to save you."
After noticing Uss's plea for help, Green smiled and said.
Emotional manipulation is indeed a fascinating ability. If I remember correctly, someone made a similar wish in front of the Grim Reaper. However, compared to that, Uss's malicious intent was too obvious. Even without deliberately sensing it, ordinary people could feel it.
In the despairing gaze of Uss, Xihaisi suddenly leaped up and forcefully embraced Uss from behind. Both of them were then held by the king of the fire lizards with a hand made entirely of flames.
Finally, a burst of white light exploded, and a powerful energy wave spread out. When the light dissipated, a previously nonexistent large pit appeared in the same place.
Xihaisi and Uss's presence also disappeared from this place.
Until Xihaisi self-destructed, Fred didn't understand the beginning and ending of the matter. After Green briefly described Xihaisi's previous experiences as well as Uss's recent malicious behavior, Fred nodded in astonishment.
After Uss's death, there wasn't much to handle for the aftermath, after all, he was alone. Xihaisi's death was announced soon after, but the event was not described in detail, and the public's impression of Xihaisi remained as it was before.
This incident can only be considered as Green's subjective determination of Uss's harmfulness. There is no concrete evidence, so there is no need to make it public to the masses.
However, in the afternoon of the same day, people in the city suddenly felt a maliciousness coming from the heavens.
No, it may not be accurate to say that.
In short, people felt that the air in the afternoon was very heavy. Even the sky was gloomy, as if something extremely bad was going to happen, but not a drop of rain fell.
And the person, or rather, the being that caused this phenomenon was the first opponent Green encountered after coming to this world—the Demon King Saloius.
The Demon King Saloius.
The king of demons, with power approaching that of a god. In order to defeat him, Green had to use all his strength to crush his fighting spirit, but his undeniable power remained.
This time, he came to the capital of Farcist and descended in front of Green.
Yes, he appeared directly in front of Green. If there were any signs, it would probably be the extremely suppressed but still leaking aura of Saloius.
The reason Saloius came here was simple—to take Elsha back.
Or rather... because Elsha hasn't returned home for a long time, Saloius found it strange and came to look for her.
However, due to certain reasons, he deliberately concealed his presence. Although there was still some unintentional leakage of his aura, it was much more low-key compared to his grand arrival.
The arrival of this aura made everyone in the castle extremely nervous.
But because Green was present, the soldiers could barely stabilize their emotions, although they still weren't in a good state.
There was no other reason, Saloius's aura was simply too terrifying. Terrifying to the point where any living being with self-awareness would feel fear and want to stay away from him.
However, the most fearful person among the crowd was not someone else but Saloius's target of arrival—Elsha.
Elsha could be said to be the most cowardly among everyone. She was the first to perceive the aura of Saloius because she not only messed up the task entrusted to her by Saloius, but also made Saloius come to find her personally.
Elsha dared not imagine what Saloius would do to her after that.
Let's hope that Green can help her explain the misunderstanding, and if necessary, it wouldn't matter if he beats up Saloius again!
So, Elsa curled up behind Green, ready to face Saloius's arrival.
"Lord Green, didn't expect to see me again, did you?"
As soon as he saw Green, Saloius greeted him warmly, as if he had met an old friend. But Green wasn't buying it, and even lifted Elsa up from behind.
"Are you looking for this alluring succubus?"
Seeing Elsa, Saloius nodded quickly.
"Yes, the purpose of my visit this time is to find her. Although I don't know what she's been doing here these past few days, I want to thank you for taking care of her. Well then, goodbye. Come visit the demon realm for tea sometime."
After saying this, Saloius didn't stay any longer and left with Elsa.
The whole process took less than ten minutes, and the Demon King Saloius left just like that, returning to the demon realm.
Even Green, who was always decisive and efficient, was dumbfounded by the swift actions.
And looking at Saloius's panicky movements and his wary gaze towards Green, could it be that he was afraid of being inexplicably beaten up?
If that's what he thought, then Green felt unjustified.
Was he the kind of unreasonable person who would just randomly beat up others?
Right?
And shortly after Elsa was taken away by Saloius, to Green's surprise, Tia, who had suddenly left a couple of days ago, returned to Farcist for some unknown reason.
Moreover, Tia came back with great momentum, as if she was about to do something big.
And when Tia found Green along with a group of guards, the first thing she said left Green dumbfounded.
"Let's get married!"
"Huh?"
