What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 153 Are you actually a traitor? What a disappointment!

Outside the city of Feira, in a hidden cave surrounded by cliffs, the Demon Clan's camp is full of life. Although sunlight cannot shine directly into this dark place, all the Demon Clan members believe that this is the best living environment.

On this day, Theodore, the current leader of the demon clan, summoned all his clan members and held a routine internal meeting.

This is also a habit they have always had. Every once in a while, they need to get everyone together to discuss the future of the demon clan and how to develop in the future.

Theodore, who stood directly opposite everyone, could be considered the burliest one. At this moment, his skin had returned to its original appearance, showing a deep purple color, his face was full of wrinkles, and there were two long black horns on his head. It looks very ugly.

It's just that Theodore's eyes are very firm at this moment. Although he is just pretending, Theodore is actually quite uneasy in his heart.

"My people, we are gathered here today to jointly face the challenges and opportunities facing our tribe." Theodore's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the cave.

At the meeting, the members of the demon clan sat together, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. Trila, the current staff officer of the demon clan, is sitting on the right side of Theodore. His eyes are sharp, as if he can always see into the essence of things.

Although the other demon clan members have their own characteristics, what they have in common is their awe for Theodore.

And the same appearance that is not in line with human aesthetics.

"Lord Theodore, what instructions do you have regarding the Demon King's movements?" A member of the Demon Clan stood up, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

"... Pay attention to your wording. It's not about my instructions, but about Lord Ramos' instructions."

"Sorry, my bad."

"It's okay, just pay attention next time." Theodore wiped the non-existent sweat on the back of his hands and glanced at the man who didn't know whether he was irritating him or simply couldn't speak.

Seeing that no one else asked any more questions and were just waiting for him to speak, Theodore nodded slightly, but his heart was in turmoil.

He knew that the resurrection of the Demon King was crucial to all of them, but in fact the Demon King had not yet shown any signs of recovery. Didn't he ever think about actually resurrecting the Demon King? Please...if the Demon King could really come back to life, he would do anything.

Not to mention that the lie was exposed, even if he was exposed and then received cruel punishment, he was willing to accept it.

It's a pity...his lies are just lies after all. If he wants someone to expose these lies and punish him as a sinner, the only prerequisite is that the lies become facts.

And before all this can come, he must stabilize everyone's hearts.

Theodore believed that one day, these people would understand his good intentions.

"I have made arrangements regarding the Demon King. In fact, the most important thing now is that we stay united and not let external disturbances affect us." Although Theodore's words were steady, careful people could detect the tone in his tone. A trace of unnaturalness.

"Many people have become a little impetuous recently. I understand your thoughts. You feel that you no longer need to endure it. You even feel that the traitors on the human side have already acted under the guidance of the Demon King, but what about us? It would be cowardly not to do anything.

Some of you may think this way, am I right? "

"..."

The people below didn't say anything, and Theodore wasn't annoyed either. He knew that in this situation it was really impossible for anyone to stand up and admit anything.

When Theodore mentioned the trends within the esoteric organization, his inner fluctuations became even more intense.

Whenever he thought of the mysterious existence behind Rosette, a faint sense of crisis would arise in his heart. He knows very well that if this mysterious force really intervenes, his carefully planned plan may be seriously threatened, and the lies he has been maintaining may also be exposed.

In his heart, Theodore had his own guess about the existence behind the scenes. He suspected that this might be an enemy that they had long thought had disappeared or weakened, but now it might be secretly regaining its strength, and it was planning something through the human being Rosette.

There was just one thing that he couldn't understand at all, and that was why she was an ordinary human girl like Rosette? Is there anything powerful in the other person that deserves recognition?

However, he knew that once the other party's plan succeeded, it would not only destroy his current arrangements, but also put him in an extremely passive position. Theodore weighed repeatedly in his mind. He must find a way to guard against this unknown threat, and at the same time ensure that his plan can proceed smoothly.

Theodore warned himself that he must remain extremely vigilant. He couldn't let Rosette or any outsider notice their true intentions. Until everything is ready, maintaining the status quo is crucial. Under this heavy pressure, Theodore felt unprecedented loneliness and pressure. He understood that as a leader, he needed to assume the responsibility of protecting the entire tribe.

'I'm really burdened with too much~'

Theodore looked at these bastards below and always felt that he was such a great person. If he was not a leader, who else could be?

For so many days, he has been in the process of inner suffering, worrying about every word every day. Who can understand this kind of pain?

"I have recently noticed some unusual trends within the Tantric organization, and I am worried that this may bring us trouble." Theodore said in a deep voice.

"Lord Theodore, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I'll take care of it."

Towards the end of the meeting, Theodore announced his decision to travel to an important location alone, citing the need to meet the Demon King. He warned everyone not to act rashly during his absence to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"I have to confirm something, which is very important to us demons. After all, history has proved that although many people in humans will become traitors among them for various reasons, to be honest, these people are just judging the situation.

I don’t want us to fall into the same quagmire twice, so I have to find the Demon King to explain some things in person, which are related to the future of our tribe.

So I hope that while I'm away, everyone can stay united and vigilant. Especially don't do unnecessary things to embarrass me, understand? "

Theodore's words were sonorous and powerful, but he was uneasy in his heart.

He was not afraid that these people would doubt him, but he was simply afraid that these people would run out and make some big noise while he was alone dealing with matters related to Rosette.

Although everyone below was curious about Theodore's words, they actually did not ask too many questions out of trust in Theodore.

However, there is one person who is different among them, and that is Trila, the current staff officer of the demon clan.

He had actually been observing Theodore these days and discovered a lot of abnormal behavior in recent days. Although he felt that these ideas were a bit too bold, he did begin to wonder if Theodore had been lying to them. But he really didn't dare to speak out about this speculation, because he knew very well that once he said it in front of Theodore, he would definitely die miserably.

So after Theodore left, Trila took advantage of his absence to tell her thoughts to other members of the demon clan. "Don't you think Lord Theodore's recent behavior is a bit strange? Did he really go to see the Demon King? Maybe... we have been kept in the dark."

Trilla's words caused a commotion, and some tribesmen began to think deeply. They began to question their long-standing beliefs and the words of their leader.

Gathered in the dark cave, the eyes of the demon clan members collided in the flickering firelight, and the distrust and doubts among them were like a gradually spreading shadow.

"Trila, are you doubting our leader?" A strong demon clan member stood up, with imperceptible anger in his voice.

Facing the gaze of everyone, Trila felt the pressure from her own race. "I just feel that things may not be as they appear on the surface. We need to think about why Lord Theodore has been unwilling to let me contact Lord Demon King, and how much of his words came from Lord Demon King.

Or...do you really think the Demon King exists? "

"What do you mean?!"

What Trila said ignited everyone's anger. Everyone looked at him with furious eyes, hoping that Trila could give him a reasonable explanation.

"I'm just telling the truth. Of course I hope that the Demon King is really back, but I don't want this to be just a lie by Theodore. I believe that everyone also wants to truly listen to the Demon King's instructions, rather than relying on the current situation. Way."

"...Then where do you think Lord Theodore went? And do you have any evidence for what you said?" Another tribesman questioned, his voice full of dissatisfaction and suspicion.

Trila was a little shaken, but he knew that once this discussion started, there would be no retreat.

"I have no direct evidence. However, combined with Lord Theodore's recent behavior and some clues, I have reason to believe that he may not be going to see the Demon King.

The secret sect activities on the human side are now extremely active. If we go by what Theodore said before, it is absolutely impossible for him and the Demon King to continue to rely on them even after knowing that humans have failed in a major event.

There is an obvious logical contradiction in this, and I believe this is also the key breakthrough for me to find all the secrets. "

"..."

After a brief silence, everyone started talking louder and louder. Some of them supported Trila and believed that his guess was reasonable, but more people expressed doubts about Trila and believed that He was aiming at nothing.

"If you cannot present substantive evidence, then such baseless speculation will only destroy our unity." An older member of the demon clan said seriously, and his words made the atmosphere in the cave even more tense.

Trila felt unprecedented pressure. He realized that if he could not provide conclusive evidence to support his speculation, he would not only lose the trust of his tribe, but he might even be regarded as the culprit who undermined unity.

Finally, he took a deep breath and decided to take action to prove that his suspicion was not groundless.

"I will find the evidence," Trila said finally, with a hint of determination in her voice, "Give me some time, and I will let everyone see the truth."

Trilla knew that if he wanted to gain the trust of his people and reveal the truth, he must take some actions.

Not long after Theodore left, he left the demon camp alone and embarked on a journey to find evidence. Under the sun, Trila's figure turned into a human and shuttled across the rugged terrain. His heart was filled with determination and tension.

Trilla first headed to the path Theodore had left by. He knew that as an experienced demon warrior and leader, Theodore would not leave many obvious traces. But Trila is also an expert at analyzing information and will not let go of any tiny clues.

After a careful search, Trila found some tiny traces next to a low bush - a few slightly bent grass and a slightly moved stone.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are signs of magic fluctuations remaining on it, which means that Theodore established the space transfer technique here. No matter what the reason for choosing to move to such a hidden place, Trila's heart was filled with strong curiosity.

As the sun gradually set, Trila had been staying here for several hours. He kept deciphering the final location of the teleportation magic in reverse. His intuition told him that Theodore's destination was probably Humanity’s secret cult base.

After several hours of arduous tracking, the terrain in front of Trila began to change, gradually changing from rugged mountains to an open area, and Theodore's presence became more obvious in it.

——Until he felt the familiar magical atmosphere behind him.

With a bang, the sharp blade penetrated Trila's body, and black blood dripped on the ground. He looked at his pierced abdomen in disbelief, and tried hard to turn his head to look.

But he could only hear the angry and joking voice coming from his ears.

"You really let me down... Trila."

"Theodore, you!"

"What are you? Are you worthy of speaking to me in this tone?" Theodore looked at the man who had been setting the pace since he left, and kicked him to the ground.

"You know what happens to traitors, right?"

"I, I didn't betray... You were the one who betrayed..." Trila looked at Theodore who was looking at a dead man from above, and also noticed that the terrifying destructive magic was condensing in his hands.

But he never thought about begging for mercy, and until the last second of his life, he still looked at Theodore with that vicious look.

"Tsk..."

Theodore shook his head, he felt really sad now.

After all, he is obviously such a good leader and has already worried so much about his people. Why can't this person clearly see the situation and want to control humans while weakening his position in places he can't see? Woolen cloth?

"Trila, you really disappoint me."
