Chapter 460: Lanchi's Mishap with Cinora
Chapter 460: Lanchi's Mishap with Cinora
Occasional rays of sunlight filtered through the clouds outside the window, casting a soft, golden hue on the office chair, lending a unique warmth to the figure at the end of the room.
After a brief silence...
"Does Mr. Rocky McCarthy know that the three of us are coming?"
Prone's every word was filled with caution.
Although he was surprised and delighted to be able to meet Rocky McCarthy so smoothly, at this moment he also needed to analyze the situation before him.
If, by any chance, the current situation is that the new king has a cooperative intention with Rocky McCarthy, but Rocky McCarthy wants to play them, first bringing the three of them to his office and keeping them separate from the new king. If they were to speak rashly about many negotiating chips, it might put the new king at a disadvantage in the upcoming negotiations.
"Prone, don't be nervous."
Lanchi felt that Prone might be overthinking things.
While prudence is a good thing, they don't need unnecessary misunderstandings right now.
Lanchi slowly stood up from his chair, turned around, and faced the three great demons with a helpless smile.
"..."
The appearance of the young man with black hair and green eyes stunned Prone and Antanas.
With her eyes closed, Cinora sensed the change in atmosphere, unsure of what was happening.
Prone and Antanas stiffly turned their necks, looking at each other to confirm each other's thoughts.
Although they had never seen this man's face before...
The color scheme was too familiar!
And the motherly gentle gaze made them feel, even for a moment without any evidence, that the man before them was indeed their new king.
"Who... who are you, really?"
Prone's mind was racing, and he took two steps back, unable to make sense of the situation.
Why had the new king suddenly taken on a male appearance?
And why did she claim to be Rocky McCarthy?
Although Antanas's calculative abilities paled in comparison to Prone's, her brain was now in a super brainstorming mode!
"..."
Only Cinora remained confused, refusing to open her eyes.
She didn't understand what was so special about Rocky McCarthy's appearance that left her brother and Antanas speechless.
"I am the true form you seek to meet."
Lanchi felt that Prone and Antanas had fallen into a painful state of confusion. Suddenly, they found it hard to accept the situation, wanting to ask but daring not to—
They were afraid of being deceived and causing trouble for the new king, but they were also afraid that the person before them was indeed the new king, and they would offend him.
"Sigh."
Lanchi had expected as much. After all, he hadn't been able to explain things clearly to Antanas back at Helrom Prison.
However, there was a simpler way, one that surpassed all lengthy verbal defenses.
Lanchi took out the earliest obtained [Transformation Technique: Demon] card from the Corridor of Purgatory Academy.
By using this card to transform into a demon form, he could unabashedly reveal his demonic appearance and the characteristics of a great demon. The only one who could have contracted the three great demons was him, and they would all sense it.
Outside the principal's office window, dark clouds loomed, and thunder rumbled as if a storm was about to break.
Inside, in the brief moment when no one spoke, the room fell into a profound silence.
Lanchi stood by the window, his movements slow and graceful, his figure appearing even more tall and profound.
Just as Lanchi triggered the [Transformation Technique: Demon] card, a deafening thunderclap sounded from outside the window, accompanied by a blinding flash of light that briefly illuminated the entire room.
The brilliant beam of light shone directly on Lanchi, illuminating half of his face.
As the thunder gradually faded, the room returned to its previous calm.
"..."
Prone and Antanas stood frozen, their eyes wide as they stared ahead.
At the far end of the principal's office, a figure stood silhouetted against the cloudy sky outside the window, like a master of the heavens. Only the dazzling light and the flickering viridescent glow in his dark mist-shrouded eyes were distinct.
In that moment, he revealed his aura as a Great Demon of the Six Seals, and even without understanding what was happening, the three Great Demons reacted immediately, dropping to one knee in submission.
The soul aura he exuded belonged to the Great Redeemer they had encountered not long ago in Helrom Prison.
"My King!"
Prone's mind was reeling.
How could the new king possibly be Rocky McCarthy...
How was this possible...
Could it be that the male form was the true identity of the new king, and his alter ego in the Protoss Empire was that of Rocky McCarthy?!?!
Antanas also kept her head lowered, deep in thought.
Shouldn't the new king's true demon form have gray hair after shedding the black-green color scheme? Could it be that the other form was merely an avatar, and the true king had summoned Baccus, the prison warden, to Protoss Royal Academy, operating on two fronts and leading them out?
Woj... he really is a man...
As Prone and Antanas' hearts pounded furiously, Cinora remained clueless.
She didn't understand why Prone and Antanas seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
But she, too, had just discovered the shocking truth that the new king's false identity was that of Rocky McCarthy in the Protoss Empire.
Wait, could the true form of the new king be male?
Suddenly, Antanas seemed to sense Cinora's thoughts.
"Cinora... don't open your eyes... don't open your eyes... whatever you do, don't open your eyes..."
Antanas' voice was strained as she desperately warned her friend not to open her eyes at this critical moment, to slowly accept this reality, and not to take it all in too abruptly.
The new king's male visage was just as captivating as that of his black-haired, green-eyed female counterpart!
Perhaps unaware of the extent of Cinora's infatuation, Antanas knew that her friend had absolutely no resistance to handsome men, and this weakness could even affect her performance in life-or-death battles.
Considering Cinora's fanatical devotion to the new king, Antanas dared not imagine what might happen.
But it was too late.
Now that she knew the person before her was the new king, Cinora couldn't help but sneak a glance.
And in that instant, she beheld a face more breathtaking than any she had ever dreamed of. Those chilly viridescent eyes held a hint of bewilderment and innocence that seemed to repel others while also appearing harmless.
The new king... was a black-haired, green-eyed youth?
"Ah..."
Cinora collapsed on the spot, passing out.
"Cinora, don't you dare die on me!"
Antanas rushed to her friend's aid, for she felt that Cinora's cardiovascular system had just suffered a fatal blow!
Lanchi stood there, bewildered, in front of his office desk, unsure how he had managed to frighten Cinora so badly.
