Chapter – 02

You Little Brat, How Dare You Make a Fool of Your King?!

After reading Rena’s information, the “loyal” Lynn should have exposed Rena’s true identity to Garron.

But he didn’t.

How could he possibly do that?!

First, because he wasn’t loyal at all.
Second, because if he exposed Rena, he would absolutely be the first one she killed before she and Garron came to blows!
Third, because he was human. Even if he wasn’t from this world, his allegiance lay with humanity—otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hoping to escape this demon lair.

So should he just accept Rena as his cheap wife?

No way.

She was too dangerous!

Lynn’s mind raced:

Since she wants to chop up her cheap husband, doesn’t that mean I just have to avoid becoming her husband?

Lynn patted himself on the back for his brilliant idea.

So, he decisively requested Garron to let him draw again.

At the same time:

【Sequence No. 53 Deity, ‘Entertainment to the Death,’ has entered your channel and given you a like for your clever move!】
【‘Entertainment to the Death’ has tipped you 100 points. He greatly anticipates how things will unfold next.】

Lynn was stunned for a few seconds, utterly shocked.

He had just assumed his golden finger was the ability to read others’ information—what was this now?!

Deities? Channel? Points?!

Lynn suddenly felt like he had been dragged into some conspiracy, set up in a scheme.

But he had no time to figure all that out now. As soon as he made the request to “redraw,” both Garron on his throne and Rena before him changed expressions.

In Garron’s eyes, Lynn’s move was nothing short of a challenge to his authority!

After all, every other chieftain had obediently taken their wife and thanked him—so why should Lynn get a special redraw?!

Garron rose from his throne, looking down at Lynn with immense majesty:

“What dissatisfaction do you have with this female knight?”

Rena also tensed up.

Her goal was to infiltrate and carry out an assassination.
If she couldn’t even get in, not only would she fail her mission, but she might also be putting herself in grave danger!

She couldn’t understand why this “human traitor” wanted to redraw?!

Rena was more than confident in her looks!

“You… are you dissatisfied with me? Whatever it is, I’ll change—I promise!”

Rena faced Lynn, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Her “Oscar-worthy” trait kicked in, and she acted flawlessly.

Unsurprisingly, both Garron and Rena, for their own reasons, did not want Lynn to redraw.

The ball was back in Lynn’s court!

Lynn gritted his teeth and stomped his foot:

“Lord Garron, your subordinate does not like human females!”

“Why? Aren’t you human yourself?”

“Because she… is hideously ugly!”

“Oh?” To Garron—or rather, to all demons—all humans looked the same; they couldn’t tell human beauty from ugliness.

【Garron believed your words, but Rena secretly swore she would tear you, the ‘human traitor,’ limb from limb!】

Lynn was speechless.

He just wanted to shake off this troublesome woman!

Rena did indeed want to dismember Lynn, but on the surface she continued to act soft and meek:

“I’m truly sorry that my appearance displeases you. But in every other way, I will make sure you are completely satisfied!”

With that, Rena blushed.

Whether it was from shame or from her superb acting skills was anyone’s guess.

Seeing Rena’s attitude, how could Lynn not understand:

She’s latched onto me!

She insists on using me as a tool to infiltrate and complete her assassination mission!

【Sequence No. 108 Deity, ‘Pure Love Invincible,’ has entered your channel. He was moved by Rena’s heartfelt confession to you.】
【‘Pure Love Invincible’ has tipped you 500 points. He hopes to see you accept Rena.】

Lynn: “…”

Is this ‘Pure Love Invincible’ really a deity?!

Doesn’t he know Rena is just acting?!

Lynn wasn’t the least bit happy about receiving 500 points.

He had to reject Rena decisively!

Absolutely no stepping into this muddy mess!

Ignoring Rena’s “pitiful” act, Lynn insisted on a redraw:

“Lord Garron, I am willing to trade half a year’s salary for one chance to redraw!”

Yes, as the 108th chieftain serving Garron, Lynn—like the other chieftains—actually received a salary!

【‘Pure Love Invincible’ cursed and grumbled, calling you a ‘point scammer,’ and demanded you return his 500 points!】

Return them?

Return them, my foot!

Lynn didn’t yet know what points were useful for, but they were definitely valuable!

“You want to trade half a year’s salary for one redraw?” Garron asked in a deep voice. “Are you sure? I didn’t expect this female knight to be so ugly that even a fellow human like you can’t stand her.”

As Lynn nodded, he noticed Rena’s strange gaze.

【Rena not only wants to dismember you but also chop you into mincemeat to feed to the dogs.】
【‘Entertainment to the Death’ has tipped you 200 points. He sincerely hopes you live a long and healthy life.】

“Very well.” Garron agreed to Lynn’s request, since it was bought with half a year’s salary.

At the same time, Garron picked up his spiked mace:

“Since even you can’t stand this female knight, there’s no use keeping her.”

Garron’s meaning was clear—he was going to smash Rena to death right there.

Now both Lynn and Rena panicked.

Rena had never expected that after all her careful planning and effort to infiltrate this place, her assassination plan hadn’t even begun—and it was all ruined by this human traitor right in front of her.

At this point, her only option was to fight Garron head-on.

Without a doubt, she would die here…

【Rena is preparing to clash with Garron. Before making her move, she plans to burn you to ashes to vent her hatred.】

Lynn really wanted to cry.

Accepting her meant risks; rejecting her meant getting burned to death immediately.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t?!

【‘Entertainment to the Death’ exclaimed how interesting this was! He has followed your channel.】

【Your channel has gained its first follower, earning you 1,000 points and the skill ‘Silver Tongue Lv.1.’】

【‘Silver Tongue’ makes your words more persuasive.】

This new twist stunned Lynn again.

*At least give me a combat skill or an escape skill!*

Lynn had no time to complain—Garron had already picked up his mace, and Rena was ready for battle.

A spark away from explosion.

A hair’s breadth from disaster.

Sweat rolled down Lynn’s cheeks.

If he didn’t accept Rena, he would die instantly!

With no other choice, Lynn had no way out.

He grabbed Rena’s hand and bowed to Garron in thanks:

“Thank you, Lord Garron, for your generous gift! I give up the redraw—I’ll take her!”

Garron: “…”

Rena: “…”

The other bystanders: “…”

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Rena didn’t understand why this human traitor had suddenly changed his mind, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Garron and the other demons, however, erupted—especially Garron, who flew into a rage:

“You little brat, how dare you make a fool of your king?! You humans are truly fickle!”

Garron’s anger was not without reason—after all, Lynn had first requested a redraw, and once Garron agreed, Lynn immediately went back on his word.

How could one of the Four Great Demon Generals tolerate being toyed with by a mere human?!

“It seems my 108th chieftain needs to be replaced.”

Garron was going to smash Lynn to death!
