He glanced at her and said with a smile, "So, you are a princess of your branch tribe."
"Princess, heh. But I'm a princess who no one respects in the tribe." Amara mockingly laughed.
"Why is that?" Max asked. Since he was going to stay with her in demons' den, he needed to know everything he can. Only then could he stay safe while steadily increasing his strength with her help.
Amara hesitated for a moment before she opened her mouth and started saying,
"Because I'm the weakest among my siblings and my talent was also not good enough, my father never really cared about me. Furthermore, one of my half-brothers, Osmont, who is very talented and is already a four-star demon at the age of 26, had some enmity with my big brother who was equally talented." When she mentioned this, she clenched her fists and her eyes flashed with thick murderous intent.
She then continued, "Although Osmont has already gotten my big brother imprisoned with his insidious schemes two years ago, he isn't satisfied and would always try to make trouble for me. Since my father doesn't care about me and my good brother Osmont, who may become the next branch leader, hates me, people of the tribe started looking down on me. Some would even secretly try to create trouble for to curry favor with him. In fact, those two you killed were ordered by their fathers to monitor me whenever I went out of the tribe."
After she finished saying this, she smirked, "However, everything is going to change now because I've awakened my bloodline. Even if my father doesn't love me, once he finds out about it, he will stop at nothing to help me become powerful."
Hearing this, Max asked, "How many people have awakened their bloodline in your branch tribe?"
"Only two. My father and Osmont." Amara replied before adding with a sad look, "If my big brother wasn't imprisoned, he would also have awakened it by now."
Max didn't say anything and thought, 'With her improved status, she will be able to help me without any risk. That's good.'
He then said, "Remember to recover your pure yin energy as soon as possible after we reach your tribe. I need it to become stronger and your tribe must have demon cores too, right? I also need them."
Amara raised her brows when she heard this, but before she could say anything, she sensed Keritch and Seriath coming after them.
Whoosh!
She flapped her wings faster and sped toward the tribe.
Although Seriath and Keritch had questions, they didn't try to intercept her and maintained some distance from her.
After flying for a little more than an hour, a big city appeared on the horizon.
'Woah! This city is at least three times bigger than the Ninam or Zexin city.' Max exclaimed in his mind.
When they arrived above the city gates, the guards flew up to stop them, but when they saw it was Amara, all of them kneeled in greeting before retreating to their posts.
Amara directly went to the center of the city, where the branch leader's mansion was, and landed in front of the giant hall.
When the two old demon guards saw her, just like Seriath and Keritch, they also didn't kneel to her and only bowed their heads slightly before smilingly saying, "Welcome back, young lady. We are relived to see you unharmed."
Immediately after, they glanced at Max, who was standing behind Amara, and frowned. "Young lady, you know no human is allowed in the mansion's vicinity. Why did you bring it here?"
When Max heard how they referred to him as 'it', his brows shot up in displeasure. Although he already knew the humans were treated the same as animals on the demon continent, experiencing it himself was different.
"It's alright, elder. I'll take responsibility." Amara shrugged. She then looked into their eyes and seriously said, "I'm going inside to meet my father. You two have to ensure his safety. When I come out and he shouldn't be harmed in any way."
Hearing this, both old men frowned and said in displeasure, "Why would we…"
Boom!
Before they could finish their sentence, a blood-red energy burst out of Amara's body and she said in a chilling tone, "Because he is my slave and no one else has the authority to touch him. If he is harmed, prepared to suffer my wrath."
Saying this, she retracted her bloodline energy, pushed open the door and walked inside the hall.
The two old guards were left frozen in their place. After a few moments, one of them hesitantly spoke, "Was… was that the bloodline energy?"
"Yes. It was." The other guard nodded heavily and said, "She has awakened her bloodline and, from the looks of it, it is many times purer than young Lord Osmont's or the branch leader's."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, they heard two whooshing sounds. When they turned their heads around, they saw Keritch and Seriath descend.
The two guards exchanged glanced before waving their hands. Just as they did,
Swoosh!
A very thick black barrier of demon energy appeared around Max.
Seeing this, Seriath spoke up, "Elders, you don't need to detain him. I want to interrogate him before young lady Amara returns. It's related to my son's death."
"He is young lady's slave. You should first ask for her permission before doing anything to him." One of the old demons blankly said.
"Mm?" Seriath and Keritch frowned. Keritch then said in a low voice, "Elders, let us interrogate him. Young Lord Osmont will reward you if we can get something useful out of him."
"The lady young has ordered that no one shall touch him before she comes out." The old demon guard sternly said.
"Oh?" Keritch exclaimed in surprised when he heard this and felt something was wrong.
"You are going against young Lord Osmont's interest because of her order?" Seriath asked in displeasure.
"For us, both young Lord Osmont and young lady Amara are equal. So, we can't disobey one's order because of another." The second guard said in a righteous tone.
"Who are you kidding…" Seriath mockingly laughed.
"Hmph!"
Bang!
When the old guard saw that Seriath still wanted to argue, he harrumphed coldly and released his five-star aura, immediately pushing him to the ground.
"You…?" Seriath became angry and was about to release his demon energy to counter, but then he heard Keritch's voice, "Don't resist. Let's wait for young lady Amara to come back.
Seriath frowned and was about to shout at him when suddenly,
Tremble!
The entire hall and the ground started trembling, and then a boisterous laughter resounded throughout the city.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! Well done, my good daughter."
