Chapter 600 The Rules of How the World Operates One week later, in the morning, in the secret realm room, sunlight streamed into the room where the curtains were half drawn.
The bright sunshine indicates that today is still a beautiful day.
In front of the full-length mirror in the room, Stephania helped Renn put on a sky-blue formal suit.
Stephania smoothed out the wrinkles on Renn's shoulder with her hand, and smiled as she looked at the golden chain on Renn's chest:
"Raine, you look great in this too."
"You can try other clothes and change your style more often in the future. Your previous all-black outfit was too serious."
Ryan tugged at his collar, looked at his changed appearance in the mirror, and nodded slightly.
"It's...not bad."
Stephania nodded, walked to the French windows, and drew back all the curtains, letting the sunlight shine into every corner of the room.
Ding ding ding.
There was a knock on the door.
Rein, standing in front of the mirror, waved his hand and used magic to open the door.
As the door opened, Lucifer walked in from outside.
He was still wearing that fitted tailcoat and white gloves.
Lucifer stood in the doorway, smiled, bowed, and said to Ryan and Stephanie inside the room.
"Good morning, young master, Mrs. Griffin." At Renn's request, Lucifer changed his address to young master.
"What's wrong, Lucifer? Is something the matter?" Renn asked.
Lucifer raised his right hand, and as a black flame ignited and disappeared from his hand, an envelope appeared in Lucifer's hand.
He walked up to Renn, presented him with the envelope, and said...
“Young Master, this is an envelope I found in Xiao Ka’s magic device. You should be interested in the contents on it.”
“Oh?” Raine raised an eyebrow and took the envelope from Lucifer.
The envelope was already opened, and Renn took out the letter inside to check it.
After reading the letter, Renn snorted coldly, clearly displeased.
The letter contained details of a secret deal between Tiberius and Caspian of the Federation.
Tiberius told Caspian that if he killed Rein, the Federation could secretly provide Caspian's Mad Cult with some covert intelligence and scarce resources.
The letter also stated that Granger was heading west with the Church of Light's trump card, warning Caspian to be careful.
Lucifer noticed the change in Renn's mood and squinted, suggesting:
"Young Master, please order me to deal with that rat. With my current strength, killing a seventh-tier enemy without being detected shouldn't be difficult."
“This rat who dares to scheme against you, young master, deserves to die.”
Lucifer spoke casually, as if he had already put an end to Tiberius's life.
Ryan shook his head, handed the letter to Stephania who wanted to see it, and said:
"Although I really want to do it, I can't."
Lucifer was somewhat puzzled. As one of the most powerful demons in the Dark Realm, letting strength speak for itself had always been his creed.
If any other demon dares to offend him, death is the easiest thing for those demons to do.
Although Lucifer was puzzled, he nodded in agreement to follow Renn's idea.
Renn walked to a nearby table, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of cold tea, took a sip, and smiled at Lucifer:
"Are you wondering why I won't let you do it?"
Lucifer nodded: "Yes."
"However, your orders are absolute, young master. I will not take any action before you give the order. I will send my familiar to keep a close watch on that rat. If it makes any other moves, I will inform you immediately."
Ryan took the letter that Stephania had returned and put it back into the envelope.
Stephania took the cold tea from Ryan's hand and poured it out, then brewed some fresh tea.
Raine leaned against the table and explained to Lucifer with a smile.
"Although the letter is most likely genuine, Tiberius is a shrewd old man; he left no information to confirm his identity."
"In other words, if Tiberius denies it, then the letter is 'forged by Castian alone,' and if we attack Tiberius with such rudimentary information, Tiberius will only laugh at us."
Lucifer said, "I can do it to him secretly, and no one will know. I can guarantee it."
Ryan took the hot tea that Stephania had just brewed and smiled:
"The fact that Tiberius could disappear without a trace is enough for others to guess that it was you, because on the continent, only you and Granger have such power."
"At the same time, we have to bring up something else..."
"The rules that govern the world!"
Raine took a sip of red tea and said, "If you want to live comfortably on the continent of Soltis, you have to abide by these rules."
"Commoners have their own rules, nobles have their own rules, and people like us also have our own set of rules, which is also a kind of 'measure'."
"Of course, if your strength can overwhelm all the forces on the continent, then it doesn't matter whether you follow these rules or not."
“But Lucifer, although you are a mid-level demigod, you are not invincible on the continent. There are still things on the continent that can kill you.”
Lucifer stood still, listening quietly to what Renn had to say.
Ryan said, "You can look through history and see what happened to those who had power and acted lawlessly, disregarding all rules."
Do you understand?
Lucifer remained silent for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
“I think I understand what you mean, but I can try a different approach.”
“Since it’s not appropriate to attack that rat directly, I can secretly poison it. I think that will be well concealed.”
Raine paused, holding his teacup, and said to Lucifer in amazement:
"It seems you're going to be a very good and ruthless politician, Lucifer."
Lucifer smiled and bowed. "You flatter me. It was your guidance that helped me understand this principle."
Raine put down his teacup and rolled his eyes at Lucifer: "It's been a few years, and your flattery skills have certainly improved quite a bit."
Lucifer smiled without saying a word.
Raine tossed the envelope to Lucifer and said:
"Give this letter to the Gray family's spies in the city, and have them deliver it to my father. He'll know what to do."
"As for the poisoning you mentioned... do as you wish. I only have one request: don't let anyone know that this matter is related to you."
Lucifer caught the incoming envelope between two fingers, smiled and nodded:
"Rest assured, I have plenty of patience and will devise a meticulous plan to ensure that no one will associate it with me."
