“Minise, I’m glad you’re willing to return to the family.”

Francis wore a delighted expression, as if he had found a lost treasure. He waved his hand and said, "My daughter, this Violet Garden will be your private property after the meeting."

After he finished speaking, everyone was deeply astonished.

Your daughter killed your eldest son and then brutally murdered a family elder. How could you tolerate such a humiliating feud?!

Could it be, as the rumors suggest, that Albert is not Francis's biological son?

Everyone: "..."

The clan chief's wife is truly something else; she's having an affair, no wonder she gave her husband a bright green hat on their birthday.

Impressive! As expected of the Tulip Clan Chief, this boldness has left them wide-eyed and truly impressed!

"snort!"

An elder of the Tulip family snorted coldly, deeply annoyed by the family patriarch's attempt to bring back Minnie and downplay the scandal.

Within a large family, where there are interests, there are struggles; where there are struggles, there are factions.

Currently, the Elders' Council is secretly supporting Albert and helping him ascend to the position in order to counterbalance the power of the Patriarch. However, Albert, that fool, made a decision on his own, which angered Minise. Francis had long been aware of the internal struggle, but in order to protect the Patriarch's authority, he turned a blind eye, which led to Albert's execution. In addition, an elder sent by the Elders' Council to protect him was also killed.

Throughout the entire process, Francis remained completely unresponsive, cold and indifferent.

At this thought, a glint of light flashed in the elder's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.

He was a ruthless and cunning tyrant. If it weren't for the elders keeping him in check, he probably would have succeeded.

“Father, you misunderstand. I am just a member of Titan City. Now that the demons are invading, it is my duty to stand up and protect Titan City.”

Minnie smiled calmly and said modestly, as if she maintained a friendly relationship with her father. To outsiders, they seemed like a loving father and a filial daughter.

This scene left everyone even more astonished. Those who knew the inside story even thought that the betrayal in the first half of the night was just a staged farce, with the aim of assassinating Albert and eliminating the person who posed a threat to the patriarch.

However, Xiao Han noticed the difference between Minnie's tone and wording. As a member of Titan City, there was a big difference between her and the Tulip Family.

The two sides only had a brief conversation, but the air was thick with tension. Perhaps at any moment, Francis would suddenly attack the fox and kill this deeply hidden rookie demon king.

"This must be Little Fox, the captain of the Third Urban Management Brigade, right?"

Francis changed the subject, his gaze bypassing Minise and landing on Xiao Han, who had retracted his Flame Fang.

"Hello, Lord Free Lightning."

Xiao Han nodded and bowed respectfully.

Lightning, lurking in the turbulent darkness of night, brewing when thunderclouds rage, is simply a cunning old fox hiding in the dark clouds.

"Although I am deeply saddened to hear that the necromancer has sided with the demons, the little fox's presence at this meeting suggests that she is on our side. In order to resist the demons and protect the peace of Titan City, I hope that you can join hands and overcome this crisis together."

Francis laughed, directly pushing the little fox's awkward identity into the Titan City camp, leaving the group of powerful figures behind him looking surprised.

Even Xiao Han looked bewildered.

This Tulip Clan Chief was almost too enthusiastic; he resolved the crisis he was facing in just a few words.

This guy is not simple. He gives Xiao Han the feeling that he has a lot of ulterior motives. This handsome old man, who makes men jealous and want to throw sulfuric acid in his face, is extremely cunning.

"Indeed, I brought the little fox here to explain this misunderstanding."

Minise spoke, descending the steps provided by Francis, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her emerald eyes.

The fact that the tyrant crocodile dared to be the first to attack the little fox means that someone must be behind it. Now that the main culprit has appeared, the identity of the person testing the waters behind him is self-evident.

The reason why the Titan City leadership had been so polite to the little fox was because of that necromancer who had awakened his potential.

However, she noticed that the relationship between the little fox and the necromancer was strained. Later, the Divine Court fell and the demons invaded. The little fox, having lost his backer, needed to demonstrate his value.

Because Xiao Han had the proven feat of killing Brian, Minise took him along to attack the provocative Tyrant Crocodile. They didn't need to win; they just needed to stall for a while and expose their combat strength at the same level.

But to her surprise, the little fox defeated the tyrant crocodile with a mental attack, which took her by surprise.

Compared to last time, the little fox has become stronger again...

Whether or not he can be controlled is a question.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and the little fox is Minnie's friend, if you don't mind, you can call me Uncle from now on."

Francis laughed heartily, showing no airs of a great man whatsoever.

"He's not a friend; he's a newly recruited subordinate."

Minnie didn't hold back in embarrassing him, her expression slightly cold.

"Ahem, time is of the essence, let's not delay... Everyone, please follow me, the meeting is about to begin."

Francis was slightly embarrassed, but then spoke boldly again, placing his large hand on Xiao Han's shoulder and patting him amicably before turning around to lead the group of representatives in formulating this strategic plan.

He looks as approachable as the gym-loving uncle next door.

Currently, with the black behemoth struck dead by lightning, the inferior demon race has been greatly weakened, and the Order Guardians' defenses have successfully withstood the first wave of demon attacks, giving the higher-ups of Titan City a buffer period.

Thus, Francis and Minise, who truly knew the inside story, tacitly understood each other, and for everyone else, the current situation meant that having one more potential awakener was actually a good thing.

"You're safe now, little fox."

Minise retracted her amethyst wings, lowered her guard, and suddenly turned around to Xiao Han with a faint smile: "Although there is still some suspicion, Black Crow recorded the video for you... Hmph, the knight phantom summoned by the sage is not a power that only demons can possess."

Xiao Han: "..."

He watched as the group entered the Purple Vine Garden and went into the luxurious villas one by one, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

If he were to lead a group of city management officers to the front lines and cast a Holy Enhancement spell, the rumors that he was a demon would be disproven without a doubt. Perhaps that would be a better course of action...

but……

The Titan City leadership won't let me off so easily.

"snort!"

Before entering the meeting room, the crocodile turned around and glared fiercely at the little fox. Its face was so hideous that even being splashed with sulfuric acid would be more pleasing to the eye.

In order to maintain the potential of the [Ruler], Xiao Han implanted a spiritual seed, which consumed most of his magical energy and almost caused his spirit to collapse.

But the results were worthwhile; he revealed his true strength as a Silver-ranking warrior (pseudo), and once again stood on equal footing with the Titan City leadership.
