What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 151: Mission failed, but got promoted?

"You said you wanted to let me go?" Rosette looked at Sirius who was back in front of her. She was a little surprised by what he said, "Do you know...where am I from?"

"I know, but you don't actually belong there, do you?" Sirius's voice was calm but full of meaning. His eyes looked directly at Rosette, as if he could see through her heart.

Rosette was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

She knew what Sirius meant. In fact, there was no need to clarify some things so quickly. Everyone lived with secrets, and everyone knew that there were some things that only they were the best keepers of secrets.

Rosette didn't ask Sirius about Anka's inside story and the truth about the things before her, and Sirius didn't ask her about her purpose and plans. This was actually quite good.

The red-haired girl rarely showed a very gentle smile. Different from the previous charming smile that deliberately provoked men's nerves, today's smile contained the most sincere gratitude in her heart.

Rosette just turned around and left, although her heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness.

She walked through the dark late-night streets and finally returned to the secret cult inside the sewers of Fira. Her return caught the attention of everyone within the organization. She could feel their scrutinizing gazes, mixed with questions, suspicion and even distrust. These gazes made her feel a depressing atmosphere, as if every step was leading to an unknown abyss.

When Rosette met Michelle, the matron of the organization, she hesitated. Faced with Michela's unfathomable eyes, Rosette didn't know whether she should tell the truth of what she saw.

Michela's voice was calm and indifferent: "You came back alone."

This sentence is a statement, but it is also a question.

Rosette hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when suddenly a powerful aura enveloped the entire space.

This was a cold wind blowing from an unknown corner, and the candlelight in the cave swayed more violently. There seemed to be an indescribable force in the air, making everyone present feel an invisible oppression. Then, a tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and his appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Theodore's figure is tall and majestic, and his eyes are deep and cold, as if he can understand all the secrets. He wore an exquisite black robe embroidered with complex patterns. Every step he took showed his extraordinary status and power. As he walked, the darkness seemed to recede beneath his feet, and the air around him seemed to solidify.

As soon as the members of the organization saw Theodore, they immediately became extremely quiet, and their eyes were full of awe and fear. Even a mistress like Michela was extremely cautious and respectful in front of Theodore. Theodore's majesty filled the entire space with an atmosphere of depression and seriousness.

"You... said before that you saw a person's face when you were in a critical state, right?"

It was no coincidence that he suddenly appeared at this time. Theodore had actually been thinking about what tricks these humans were playing when he returned to the demon camp.

The first thing that was certain was that the Demon King had not been resurrected at all, but what these believers said was very convincing, which made him start to wonder if there was someone inside the organization who was leading all of this and wanted to use his lies to advance things. What plans were out of his control.

Regardless of whether this person is an enemy or a friend, Theodore feels that this is a target that must be eradicated. He cannot allow someone to use his lies to manipulate the situation even though he knows that the Demon King is not dead.

What's more... those who know the Demon King's secret deserve to die.

"Roster, the Lord is asking you! Why don't you answer quickly?!"

Rosette felt unprecedented pressure, her heartbeat accelerated, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She knew that every word she spoke now could determine the life or death of herself and Sirius.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "Yes, Lord, I did see the appearance of a person. But it was just a vague shadow, and I couldn't confirm who it was."

Theodore's eyes narrowed a bit, and he seemed to be analyzing Rosette's words.

"Just a vague shadow? Are you sure there are no other clues? Are you sure... you are not lying to me?" Rosette hesitated for a moment, and the fear in her heart became more intense. At this moment, she had even Feeling that she had exposed her thoughts in front of Theodore.

However, the determination in her heart still prompted her not to show anything strange. At least in front of these people, she still had to slowly shake her head and explain: "No, Lord. I just felt a powerful force, but the shadow was too Blurred and unrecognizable.”

"Is this so..."

Theodore narrowed his eyes and looked at Rosette in front of him with a dead look.

Of course he could see that Rosette in front of him was lying, but he didn't want to just get angry in front of her, or use psychic magic to question her. Because Theodore couldn't be sure whether the other party would lose control and tell the truth about the Demon King's unresurrection. If that was the case, his job would be extra work of cleaning up the scene.

Rather than exposing this girl now, Theodore wants to find a more suitable time to confront Rosette alone. It is best to be able to guide and hint the other party, and then find the mastermind behind this through the other party. After all, this is It is Theodore's biggest goal.

"In that case, let's talk about how your affairs went."

Theodore did not continue to focus on the previous problem, but became concerned about Rosette and Abby's mission.

"...Mother, Lord Theodore, the mission failed.

Moreover, Abby attacked me while I was on a mission. He... betrayed our organization. "Roster's voice was trembling, but she tried to keep herself calm.

She didn't want to say this at first, but she found that she couldn't calm down in front of Theodore. She could only mix some truths with lies to make this terrible demon relax his doubts about her.

"You mean, Abby is a traitor? Yura is a traitor too?"

There was no wave in Theodore's eyes, and the expression on his face did not change at all as he listened to Rosette's words.

"Please atone for your sins!"

Just when the situation reached a deadlock, Mistress Michela immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards Theodore.

Rosette became a little panicked after seeing this scene, fearing that Theodore, who didn't know what he was thinking, would directly kill them all because of his lies.

But to her surprise, nothing happened.

"Interesting, your name is Rosette, right?"

"Yes……"

Until the end, Theodore did not impose any punishment. She just looked at Rosette with a strange look, as if she was thinking about something, and then finally left this last sentence in front of everyone before disappearing. Here are the words that no one can understand:

"Michela, you all should listen to Rosette from now on. After all, I see the approval of Lord Demon God Ramos in her.

I believe that such a person who is so close to the 'Devil' is more suitable to lead you, right? "
