"Sizzle!"
The dazzling lights illuminated the entire conference room, and maids filed in, carrying exquisite blue-and-white porcelain cups, and with graceful dance moves, served fragrant tea to the guests at the conference table.
This tea is the latest flagship product of the Tulip family, produced in a magical estate, and has a calming effect.
"Coo coo!"
As the light tea sipped smoothly, everyone's tense mood relaxed, their expressions became calm, and their faces showed a normal composure.
Despite this, several high-ranking members of the family still glanced at the tall man in the main seat, their faces somewhat gloomy.
In resisting the demon offensive, their high-level combat power suffered heavy losses. Both on the front lines and in the support teams they dispatched, they were all secretly killed by the cunning demons.
The Tulip family, with a potential awakener in charge, was almost completely unharmed. This obvious difference left them no room for doubt.
"Creak!"
A crisp chewing sound was ignored by everyone.
Beside the main seat sat a fox-person with twitching black fox ears, whose black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and whose handsome and otherworldly features resembled those of an elegant nobleman, leisurely... uh, eating fruit ∑(°△°|||).
Okay, this guy seems to be a sage revered by all the professionals in Titan City. He looks refined, easy-going, and polite... Hey, this is a meeting room, don't throw fruit pits around! (╯°Д°)╯... Ahem, he seems quite confident in fighting against the demon army.
The scene of eating fruit in front of everyone did not seem out of place to anyone; on the contrary, it gave everyone a strange and bewildering feeling.
Although some people find it hard to accept that the extremely cruel and violent law enforcement fox has transformed into a sage, the fox's summoning of the temple's phantom in full view of everyone confirms its identity as a temple sage.
In legends, this profession often involves serving as a hero's companion on a journey to defeat the Demon King. Unexpectedly, a sage has graced this barren city of Titan with his presence, and his purpose is to resolve the crisis of the demon invasion.
After all, Minnie was the first to come into contact with the little fox. Therefore, she submitted the little fox's testimony from the manor, and by the way, she improved it and eliminated some loopholes. This immediately convinced some of the powerful figures in the meeting, and they formally accepted the little fox.
Furthermore, to apologize for the little fox's previous attitude, they offered abundant resources as compensation (to appease him). Before the sage could even speak, Minise, the sage's representative, accepted it with a smile.
"Very well, everyone is seated now, let's talk about the current situation."
Francis, sitting in the main seat, smiled calmly. He raised his emerald green eagle eyes, his deep gaze sweeping over the vacant seat of the Gubang family, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, amidst the subtly uneasy atmosphere, the second meeting at Violet Garden got down to business, and Francis pulled out a simple map, which appeared before everyone.
Because the phantom of the demon god sneaked into the main plane, it was ravaged by natural disasters, its source was completely plundered and it became nourishment for the main plane. The demon race's offensive was also severely damaged, and most of the boundary walls built by the four city walls were broken. At present, the situation is turning for the better, which made everyone present breathe a slight sigh of relief.
A group of powerful figures attending the meeting cast awe-inspiring glances at Xiao Han, who was still consuming the Great Experience Fruit. The collapse of the demon god's phantom must have been a scheme orchestrated by the Sage. For example, the necromancer who had been lurking in the past might have tampered with the altar. Without Xiao Han needing to explain, they filled in the blanks in their minds and successfully deified Dihua!
He slashed the poisonous corpses (controlling them to death), forced the Skeleton Archmage to self-destruct (with a dog stealing his kill), then killed two more, scared away a Commander-level demon (picking up its remaining health), gathered a group of professionals, and blew up a path. He also laid out a plan in advance, seemingly killing the phantom of the demon god!
These remarkable achievements shocked everyone. No one expected that this seemingly insignificant person who pulled off such a stunt to gain attention was actually a deep-sea crocodile!
Because of the sudden appearance of the sage fox, his status soared. Sitting to Francis's left, this special treatment clearly showed everyone Francis's high regard for the fox, and also subtly revealed the tension between Minise and Francis.
"Therefore, our next goal is very simple, straightforward, and direct: to launch a swift and decisive attack on the Divine Court Cathedral while the Demon Clan is in a state of decline!"
Francis said coldly, understanding that Titan City was the most important link in the plan, and that his rise to power required it as a springboard.
Moreover, these powerful families have been operating within this business for over a century, investing a great deal of time and money; they would never give it up so easily!
Once they abandon the city and break through the barriers to escape, they will be met with struggle and plunder from various forces.
In the North, which is not under the jurisdiction of any kingdom, a city was captured, its defenses collapsed, and the forces that were on good terms with the city turned their backs on it, like sharks that smelled blood, tearing at pieces of fat meat. The tens of thousands of slaves captured alone represent a huge fortune.
"I second that."
"I second that as well."
One of the men nodded, his expression solemn, his eyes gleaming, seemingly lost in thought.
"Sage, what is your opinion?"
Francis asked Xiao Han, who was standing next to him, in a friendly manner, and Xiao Han nodded in agreement.
After operating in Titan City for three months, Xiao Han went from being penniless to earning a gold wolf's worth of gold every week, and he tasted the sweetness of success!
If you go out on a mission and cross the wasteland, your daily earnings can skyrocket to fifteen gold wolves!
Having incurred a million-dollar debt to Ophina, Xiao Han, as a novice demon king with a lifespan of a thousand years, could amass a fortune through a snowballing money-making model. He could repay the enormous debt in a maximum of a hundred years. Furthermore, a hundred years later, he would awaken his potential with his profound foundation, embarking on the path to gold. When the wings of the demon god covered the sky and golden flames soared into the heavens, his future would be bright!
Okay, actually, the traitor lurking in the Divine Church hopes to slash the other party's head off with a single sword strike.
"Since the Sage has agreed, I will second that as well."
Because of the sage's statement, the rest of the people agreed. The source of the demon invasion had not been extinguished, which meant that the threat had not yet been eliminated.
Minise watched this scene with indifference, her gaze fixed on Francis, her father, whose blood was half tainted with corruption, a bloodline that could not be cleansed even by the most elegant and devout dance offered to the moon goddess.
Perhaps it was because of their blood ties, but Francis glanced at Minnie's cool and elegant face. Although their seats were only a few steps apart, the distance between them felt like an insurmountable gap.
