Lith had to make sure of one thing. That was, whether the person below him really was the one behind his assassination attempt.Though Lith found a King Rank here, he wasn't entirely sure if this was the right person.Firstly, there could be more than one King Rank and secondly, there could even be an Emperor Rank instead of a King Rank, who knows?Lith therefore didn't just kill the guy on the spot despite being angry and just held him by his neck."Who are you?" Lith asked calmly. He decided to do one question at a time and not rush things.Zelph's body was crushed and it was aching everywhere. He looked in front of him and saw Lith's handsome face. But instead of getting charmed by Lith, he felt as if a scary devil was in front of him.Lith's aura made Zelph scared for some reason and this aura was far stronger and far more horrifying than what he had ever experienced in his life so far. Even Qianyu wasn't able to scare him like how Lith did.Zelph took a deep breath and said truthfully, "I am Zelph. Can you please put me down? I'll answer everything that you'll ask."Lith let go of the guy as he heard that. He was angry but he controlled his anger and decided to take a step back and ask questions instead of jumping to conclusions."I'll ask again, who are you?" Lith asked with a neutral face.Zelph sighed and said, "I am Zelph, the commander of the Right Legion, one of the only two subordinates of General Haemir of the Scalanis Family."Zelph knew that if he didn't answer properly, he was sure to die here today. Just judging from the force with which he got slammed down on the ground, he was sure that the other party was definitely more powerful than even Qianyu.What scared Zelph further was the fact that he somehow had this intuition that if he got killed here, he wouldn't ever resurrect or reincarnate and would permanently die. He didn't want such a fate for himself and decided to say things truthfully.'Scalanis? Who is that?' Lith thought to himself. He hadn't heard of such a name before. To know more, Lith asked, "Where is this family?""It's an Elven Viscount Family, residing on the World Tree in Alfheim in the Elven Continent." Zelph said truthfully again.He only revealed information that wouldn't cause any problems to the family and didn't reveal any secrets of theirs. If he was asked to reveal any top secrets, Zelph would surely hesitate and things would be problematic. However, he had a feeling that Lith wouldn't ask for any secrets because the youth before him did not seem interested at all.Lith took note of this thing and thought to himself, 'a Viscount Elven Family is helping the Senzal Clan? Hmm… it seems they're getting a lot of external support. If this is the condition of these guys, the Kenzal Clan must be the same as well. But now the question arises, who has helped the Kenzal Clan?'After a bit of thinking later, Lith asked the other question, "since when were you here in the Senzal Clan territory?"

This was the most important question.Zelph thought about it and said, "I arrived with the army just a few moments ago."Lith narrowed his eyes at the Commander. His imposing aura of the strongest bloodline in the world blasted at Zelph with full force causing the latter to be scared witless."I am speaking the truth… We were stuck in the Elven Customs… had a mysterious person not helped us, we would not have arrived here at all!"Commander Zelph rambled, causing Lith to tone down his aura.'I was sneak attacked an hour ago. This guy has arrived just now. Did he not do it? Or perhaps… he attacked before and arrived only now?' Lith wasn't sure if the guy in front was innocent or not. To confirm, he asked more questions."If you arrived now, it must mean that you don't know what parties are participating here except for the sect and Kenzal Clan, right?" Lith asked.Zelph nodded. "That's right. We have only been told about the Shadow River Sect and though we know who it is, we don't know anything about their outfits or battle style or various other things. We were supposed to meet Senzal and he was going to brief us but things got delayed."Lith had a neutral look on his face as he heard that. As Zelph finished, Lith asked again, "then, why were you trying to attack those people there?"Lith pointed towards his squad and asked with a chilly tone. His aura flared once more causing the commander to spill all the thoughts in his head."Because they seemed too suspicious. Their behavior and reasoning; everything seemed wrong. I thought it won't be any problem later even if they were from the same side as our army is now here. I am a King Rank and the people in my army are strong as well. We can manage."Hearing that question, Lith had a slight frown on his face. So the lives of his two friends meant nothing to this guy and he was planning to kill them?But soon his frown eased as he realized that this was war and everything was fair. However, him doing this was still unacceptable."Do you know who you were just about to kill?" Lith asked calmly.Zelph shook his head. "No, but even if they were someone important and got killed, it would be on them. Don't roam so freely if you aren't prepared to die in a battle.""If I was the weaker party there, I am sure I would've gotten killed instead of them. So all's fair in war."Lith nodded. What Zelph said made sense. Lith then flashed a small smile and said, "those two are the direct descendants of an Emperor Rank. How do you feel knowing about it now?"Zelph didn't have any change of emotions as he heard that and he was calm. Though he was initially scared of Lith, after a few questions, he adapted himself well and answered calmly to all things.Zelph simply answered Lith's question again, "I feel nothing about it. My answer still remains the same. It's kill or be killed. If the Emperor Ranks have problems later due to it, then so be it. But they should know, it was because of their carelessness that their children died here and should have taken more security measures." Follow current on novel-online.com
Lith became interested in this guy as he heard this. All the anger he had for him vanished suddenly and now there was more curiosity in knowing this guy than killing him."You don't care about your life?" With curiosity, Lith asked.Zelph shook his head. "I care about my life. Who wouldn't? But getting killed by some force that you cannot stop or avoid is not in your hands, so why bother and be afraid of living or doing things? I love my life and I do things as I please and want. If I were to die following my own morals and principles, then so be it."'Interesting.' Lith thought. This guy was good in his opinion. A person worthy of recruiting and having for himself."Alright, I'll ask a final question. Did you kill someone an hour ago?" Lith went straight to the topic now.Zelph shook his head. "Me and my army had just arrived at the Uklov International Teleportation Circle and we were heading to Redstone City from there at that time. I didn't kill anyone."Lith nodded. "Okay. You're free to go. But just know, I am not on your side and you may get killed the next time I find you."Zelph nodded. "We'll see how things go."Lith became sure that it wasn't Zelph. He let Zelph go and that guy returned to his army and took them to the main area of the Senzal Clan.Lith reunited with his squad and asked them to retreat according to Ralph's plan.After they were all gone, Lith looked at the Senzal Clan main area and said softly with determination in his eyes,"Just wait, I'll definitely find you and…".....A/N: The week has ended and you know what this means?
