After eating and drinking, the three of them changed their appearances and strolled around the most bustling commercial street in the Inner City of Beijing.
Along the way, Tang Haofei and Wen Yu exchanged few words, seemingly lost in thought about the implications of their earlier conversation. It wasn’t until the sun began to set that the three returned to the residence.
At the entrance of Tang Haofei's mansion, Wen Yu said his goodbyes to Tang Haofei. They shared a brief hug, which seemed to symbolize that everything from the past had completely dissipated.
As he watched Tang Haofei walk into the courtyard, Wen Yu turned and returned to his own residence.
When Wen Yu lay down on his bed, he recalled everything that had happened today. He carefully pondered the meaning of Tang Haofei's last words and, after a moment, let out a bitter laugh.
He really had come back…
But precisely because of this, things were most confusing for Wen Yu…
As the dizziness in his mind gradually faded, Regas finally got a clear view of his surroundings.
A noisy street…
Familiar scents, familiar sights, familiar buildings, even familiar people!
“Damn it!”
As soon as Regas regained consciousness, he immediately burst into curses.
Not for any other reason, but because he realized he had been tricked by Wen Yu again!
“Lord Regas? Lord Regas! It’s really you!”
The "familiar person," upon seeing Regas, immediately shouted aloud. The shout was sharp and grating; at first, it seemed filled with joy, but upon closer inspection, one could quickly detect the malice behind it.
Regas was momentarily speechless, but the speaker showed no fear of him. Instead, they quickly stepped forward and stood beside Regas.
“My lord, why are you back again?”
Regas was sulking, and after a moment, managed to squeeze out a response.
“Because this damn place is my territory!”
…
Medusa City, the core area of Regas's power, the largest city.
Of course, that was in the past. In fact, it couldn’t even be said to be in the past; Regas's upheaval had happened less than a day ago, and decisions from above had yet to be finalized. In other words, this place still indeed belonged to Regas.
Moreover, the discussions about replacing Regas as the substitute in the highest council of the demonic clan military department were still ongoing—at this time, using the term “former supreme commander of the demonic clan military department” to describe Regas was indeed inappropriate.
Regas's anger towards Wen Yu did not stem from this situation, but from the annoying chatterbox standing in front of him.
Philip…
Regas's top general! An eleventh level strongman; although he was a somewhat weak eleventh level, he was still an eleventh level. Moreover, it must be noted that Philip was the only eleventh level strongman Regas had.
But unfortunately, Philip was a gift…
After Regas became the supreme commander of the demonic clan military department, Philip was the gift given to him by Feili.
Thus, the regulations became apparent—Philip was nominally Regas's subordinate, but in reality, he was merely a supervisor placed beside Regas by Feili.
He was not loyal to Regas; he was loyal to Feili…
“My lord, I thought something had happened to you… By the way, I heard you were being hunted by the Lord of the Jiang Family. How did you escape? Wow, this is a big deal…”
While speaking, Philip unabashedly took out a communication device and sent a message to Feili, who was far away.
Regas's return and the disappearance of the Lord of the Jiang Family…
Regas just watched Philip perform, his expression cold but unable to utter a word—Regas's original plan was for Wen Yu to release him, after which he would immediately flee to the Desolate Borderlands to hide. With his own strength, where in the Demon Realm couldn’t he go?
As for Wen Yu killing his entire family and the nonsense about the spirit of the demon lord… Regas really didn’t want to deal with it anymore; he couldn't deal with it. But after he came out, the first place he landed was right under Philip's watchful eyes, and many things began to change.
