Chapter 37

Allen suddenly looked at Hisa and saw him pick up a tea cup and twirl it in his hand. His thumb and index finger pressed against the rim of the cup, while his middle finger supported the bottom. He sat up straight, appearing as though he was enjoying a cup of tea. However, tea tasting was supposed to be a relaxing activity, but Hisa, who was being stared at by Allen, seemed uncomfortable. Although he put the tea in his mouth, he didn't taste it carefully. The tea lingered in his mouth for half a second before he immediately swallowed it, his eyes darting around.

On the day of the battle in the skyscraper, Hisa had promised not to pursue the matter. Only he and I knew about it. Allen was unaware, and the Lin couple knew even less. Therefore, negotiations were impossible.

"He never said it!" Without asking any questions, Allen came to a definite conclusion.

"Well... it's fine, I have a record." I took out my phone and shook it.

"Do you think we would acknowledge something like this?" Allen raised his right hand.

"Hehe, don't move, Magic. Every move made here today can be known by the entire human race if I want it to be. Compared to all the secretive things The Divine Realm has done in the past without any evidence, today's evidence is conclusive."

Allen suddenly realized where he was. The Othrie Empire's Imperial Palace had various things that could record everything that happened today. Anything could be an item of recording, whether it was a tea cup or a chair. Either destroy all of them or make the monitors disappear, because this was a type of Magic called "Surveillance Magic", which recorded all aspects without any blind spots. After the monitoring was complete, the monitor needed a period of time to process the recording, during which they were most vulnerable to attack.

"Very well! Hisa, did you really say that?"

"Uh... yeah~ uh~" Hisa replied vaguely, which made Allen, the older brother, very angry.

"This is an ancient artifact passed down by our ancestors. We can't let it end like this!"

"Brother, actually..."

"Actually, The Divine Realm doesn't need the gate anymore!" I suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Why doesn't The Divine Realm need it anymore?"

"So, in the past two thousand years, how many Angels has The Divine Realm punished by falling? Not a single one!"

"No Angels have been punished, so there is no falling!" Allen's tone was very sour.

"The reason is very sufficient! However, based on the current situation, there should be quite a few Angels who have been punished. Assassinating innocent human civilians is just one of your crimes."

Allen suddenly stood up, his nerves incredibly tense.

Hisa immediately reached out and grabbed Allen's hand, saying calmly, "Calm down."

"Calm down? Hisa, you agreed to give up pursuing it so casually, but I am already calm. And that incident with the black and white winged Angel, I can't stay calm about that!"

"Brother, I have already explained about that Angel. She did enter the gate, but whether she fell into The Demon Realm, can I go to The Demon Realm to confirm? Besides, even if we pursue or not pursue, it has nothing to do with Elena and Qin Yang's relationship." Hisa said to his irritated older brother. Indeed, I had also heard about the Lin couple's deliberate provocation during negotiations, making the other side lose their temper as their intended result.

"Elena has nothing to do with him anymore. She belongs to the Holy Dragon now!"

"It was you who caused trouble in the first place, and now you're trying to play innocent," Hisa said, turning his back to Alan and continuing to drink his tea.

"Alright, can we get back to my question?" Qin Yang interjected. "The Divine Realm's new covenant does not contain any articles of conviction. Hisa is merely the executor, and it has nothing to do with us regarding the conviction."

"Then why did Nofice take her away, and what crime was Nofice convicted of? There is no reason for you to take away my familiar, and this incident will stain the reputation of The Divine Realm when it spreads among nations."

"Since she has been through the 'Execution Gate,' it means she has been convicted before!"

"Who convicted her, when, and where is the evidence? We don't owe The Divine Realm anything at the moment." I walked up to Alan, knowing that it was impossible to take someone away without explaining anything. Alan understood this, it was a simple and straightforward logic.

"I won't waste my time chatting with you. You conspired with The Demon Realm's Forest Lord and Yuki Onna to kidnap my daughter. Dare you deny that we are owed something!"

What was Alan thinking? How can this be considered a kidnapping? If Elena were still the same Elena as before, would she think it's a kidnapping? At most, it would be a voluntary elopement.

"Where is your evidence? Do you have any surveillance records?" If there were, I should have known at the time, and Alan also knew where the monitors were. He just couldn't act recklessly. Emotions could be chaotic, words could be sharp, but actions couldn't be careless.

"Qin Yang, I can let it go today, but be careful in the future!" Alan clearly wanted to let go of Nofice. There was no reason to continue entangling with this matter. The Divine Realm was originally intruding without permission. It would have been fine if it was done alone, but they even brought a hundred Angels with them, which caused a significant stain on The Divine Realm's credibility. Alan also knew when to stop, but from my perspective, he had other things to consider.

"Let's go already, why are you still drinking tea? It's all because you're too kind!" Alan looked at his younger brother helplessly and resentfully.

"It's not about kindness, it's about my promise to Nia."

Hisa have a promise with my mother? What kind of promise is that? I wanted to ask, but it wasn't the right time.

"Hold on, we don't need this in the Othrie Empire." I threw the bottle to them, the one my father had. He took one and left, and I took the rest back.

"Why doesn't this suit you humans? Aren't you a Demon Dragon? You should be in charge of The Demon Realm!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not responsible for anything in The Human Realm. I am only concerned with the matters of the Othrie Empire. As someone from this country, I have an obligation to seek greater benefits, and these medicines are no better than our 'L' particles!"

"Are you questioning the wisdom of The Divine Realm?"

"No, with your wisdom, it is impossible for you not to know about these defective products, so I am certain that it was deliberate."

"What do you want?"

"Answer me one question. The incident where you brought a hundred Angels illegally into the Othrie Empire, our Emperor will dismiss it as insignificant."

"This question you've asked is really troubling, what kind of question is it that makes you, the Demon Dragon, so concerned?"

"Here are two questions for you to choose from. First, what was the past of Nofice like? Second, why did you intentionally bring Elena to my side?" I didn't believe the second question when I first heard it from Tony, but Alan unintentionally revealed some information that made me curious.

"Are you forcing me to choose the second one?"

"Obviously, answering the second question is more difficult!"

"Alright, I intentionally let Elena leave the Brandt family three years ago because I knew she had an inexplicable feeling for you, and at the same time, I was curious if you were the person we were looking for!"

"Me?"

"Let me tell you a little more. Since you are the Demon Dragon, I feel relieved! Perhaps, we will have the opportunity to cooperate against the real - Holy Dragon!" Alan's final words were whispered in my ear with the softest voice.

"You already knew!"

"Demon Dragon, no, Qin Yang, I believe that you will find the real him. By then, your grievances and The Divine Realm will be more than willing to help you resolve them together!" I understood Alan's implication, to the point that I felt a chill. Why did they have such ideas? After all, they were gods!
