"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!" The First Elder hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.
Steward Pi said calmly, "It's a misunderstanding. My men have all been killed. What misunderstanding could there be?"
As he spoke, the guards who had been standing behind him stepped in front of him.
Four triangular-headed demons, each with a large shield-like armor on their arms, piled together, completely protecting the chief steward.
At the very front stood four demons whose limbs had transformed into swords, somewhat similar to the demon guards who had just besieged Jiang Luofu and Ji Xiaoxi, only clearly more advanced and powerful.
In addition, six other demons resembling archers were scattered on both sides, their bows and arrows already aimed at Zaun.
The elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Donald didn't see Steward Pi just now and thought some other demon was harassing his maid, so he hit her a little too hard."
At this moment, Zu An had arrived beside Jiang Luofu and Ji Xiaoxi, and patted the two girls' hands to reassure them.
Jiang Luofu was originally tense, but she relaxed after seeing him.
Strangely enough, judging from the Grand Elder's apologetic manner, the Steward Pi on the other side was clearly a remarkable figure in the demon world, and the situation ahead should be very dangerous.
But with Zuan by her side, she felt a strange sense of security.
She glanced at Xiao Xi beside her; her eyes were sparkling, filled with longing for her great-brother.
Jiang Luofu couldn't help but chuckle, realizing how she had acted so emotionally like a young girl.
At this moment, the toad demon suddenly said in a cold voice, "Now that you know, shouldn't you apologize?"
"Yes, yes, yes, our True Demon Clan will definitely compensate for this loss." The Grand Elder said with a smile. Donar was the hope of the entire True Demon Clan, and they couldn't let anything happen to him. If they could go bankrupt to avoid disaster, that would be better than anything else.
"Why doesn't Kodonal come and pay his respects to Steward Pi?" The toad spirit's voice suddenly rose, staring at Zuan with an unfriendly expression.
The chubby, bearded manager standing to the side raised his chin, looking arrogant and overbearing.
"This..." The Grand Elder was somewhat troubled, recalling what Donal had told him on the way.
Finally, he decided to quietly try to persuade him again: "Donal, say something nice, and let this matter pass."
Zuan nodded, then looked across at the other side: "Is Steward Pi mute?"
The Grand Elder, who had been pleased that he had listened to advice, suddenly froze with a smile: "???"
Upon hearing this, Steward Pi looked at Zu An in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Anger from Pi Yanyang: +100 +100 +100...
Although she was somewhat exasperated, her voice was gentle and quite magnetic.
Zu'an then laughed and said, "So Steward Pi isn't mute after all. In that case..."
He glared at the toad spirit beside him and said, "Since Steward Pi hasn't given any orders, what right do you have to make decisions for him here? Who do you think you are?"
As the master of a world, and having held a high position for many years, he naturally possessed an inexplicable aura of power.
"You...you..." The toad demon was terrified when he was glared at, his body went limp and his hair stood on end. He was too scared to speak for a moment.
Not to mention him, even Steward Pi felt a little uneasy after being glared at by him and subconsciously took a step back.
However, he immediately realized that he was serving the Lord of Demons and Monsters. Everyone treated him with respect, so why should he be afraid?
Thinking of this, he straightened his chest again: "Hehe, it's been a while, Donal, you seem to have become much bolder than before."
"After visiting the cultivation world, I learned a proverb from them: 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation,'" Zu An said casually.
The elder standing to the side was so anxious he almost tore off his beard. How was this going to end?
"You've certainly impressed me." Steward Pi sneered. Of course, he wasn't here just for the two beautiful women.
Instead, they heard that the Lord had just summoned Donal, but instead of killing him as expected, he praised him highly.
Thinking that Donal was quite handsome, Steward Pi suddenly felt a sense of crisis, so he came over to check the situation and make use of his two beautiful maids.
Given Donal's past personality, he would most likely have swallowed his anger and perhaps even offered his maid to him.
This allowed him to vent his anger, suppress Donal's arrogance, and everyone was happy.
But why is this guy not playing by the rules?
He was somewhat embarrassed and angry: "I, the head steward, saw that these two maids were disobedient, so I helped you discipline them. You didn't even thank me, and you actually dared to hurt them?"
"Why should my people need to be disciplined by others?" Zuan looked at him coldly.
Despite being surrounded by guards, Steward Pi still felt a little uneasy under his gaze.
I thought to myself that Donald seemed a little different today.
At this moment, the toad demon's follower also realized that if he didn't say anything after his master had been humiliated, he would definitely be in trouble when he got back.
Seeing the various powerful guards around him, he was completely relieved, cleared his throat, and shouted:
"Donald, don't be so stingy. The maid you gave my master last time was no good; she broke after a few times. These two maids are much better than the last one in terms of both looks and figure. They're also quite stubborn, which means they're very fun to play with. If you give them to my master, I won't hold it against you for killing one of his men today."
Upon hearing his words, the surrounding guards also looked at Zu An with a mocking expression, their eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
In the world of demons, the strong are respected. This guy had previously groveled and offered his woman to the steward, but today he was just pretending to be tough. In the end, he would still have to hand over his woman.
Ji Xiaoxi's face turned pale, and she subconsciously moved closer to Zu An. Jiang Luofu hugged her tightly, her brows furrowed with anger.
Zuan snorted coldly and casually waved his hand. A long spear that had fallen to the ground suddenly shot away, as fast as a shooting star.
The guards around Steward Pi were all shocked, and those with shields hurriedly put their shields in front of Steward Pi.
However, the spear was too fast and the angle was too tricky, hitting the weak point where the two shields were connected.
The immense impact caused the two shield-bearing guards to stagger, while the spear continued its momentum, piercing straight through the toad demon.
At the same time, the momentum did not diminish, directly lifting his body off the ground and finally pinning him to a large tree dozens of meters away.
The toad demon's corpse was filled with horror and disbelief; he couldn't understand how Donal could have dared to do that.
How could I have died despite being so heavily protected?
Only then did the other demons come to their senses. All of Steward Pi's guards drew their weapons and surrounded him, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Zu'an.
"Donald...donald, this is just a misunderstanding!" Steward Pi swallowed hard. If that shot had hit him, he would probably be dead by now.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle!
