Chapter 702: Marry First, Then Avoid the Battlefield, Perfectly Dodging the FLAG

Fourteen Powers... Was this guy this powerful when he was alive?

Lyon's eyes narrowed instinctively as he stared at the sheep organs on the table, which had suddenly become unusually well-behaved, even suppressing the enhanced golden light. He was utterly shocked by this unexpected turn of events.

Seven of the highest-level Original Sins, seven calamities corresponding to the Original Sins... This is not the typical setup for an "ordinary" demon. It must be aiming for a level close to the King of Demons. It might even possess the strength of a True God before ascending to deity status, so...

Is it pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?

"Why are you staring at us like that?"

Black Goat felt a tingling sensation under Lyon's scrutinizing gaze and couldn't help but mutter, "In the past, I've always emphasized that I was an extremely powerful demon before, but you guys just wouldn't believe me. It's not like I'm lying."

"..."

That's true... But with your usual habit of talking nonsense and exaggerating, who knows if you're just boasting!

"Anyway, it seems we might have underestimated it a little."

As Lyon and Black Goat stared each other down, the Red-haired Director smiled and said, "Although it's missing Envy and Lust now and can't directly revive, it's still best to be a little cautious... Lyon, you should leave them here for a few days instead of taking them with you."

"Huh?!"

After glancing at Black Goat, whose expression had changed dramatically, the Red-haired Director made a suggestion, "Don't rush to go on your mission to the North Realm. Wait a couple of days, and I'll find a way to add an extra layer of insurance. These guys have indeed become more formidable after the enhancement. It's best to use some means to control them to prevent them from causing a big disturbance while you're on your mission."

Can you help me add an extra layer of insurance for the sheep organs?

Lyon paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement with the Red-haired Director's proposal amidst the sheep organs' protests, which were both surprised and angry.

Although Lyon wasn't worried about losing control of the sheep organs due to the demon badge in his possession, having an extra layer of insurance was always beneficial. Additionally, the fourteen powers of the sheep organs sounded extraordinary, so it was better to be cautious.

Unfortunately, even with this mutually beneficial outcome, someone was still dissatisfied.

As Lyon showed no consideration for their past relationship and directly sold the five sheep organs to the red-haired woman, the sheep organs couldn't help but feel enraged. Their anger rose from their hearts, and they collectively voiced their protests against Lyon for his betrayal.

Horned Sheep: "You bastard! We've been by your side for so many years... days, and even if we don't have any achievements, we've put in the effort! How can you just give us away like this?"

Heart Sheep: "Human! I'm very dissatisfied with your decision!"

Stomach Sheep: "Lord Lyon! Your actions are truly cold-hearted! It's chilling!"

Tongue Sheep: "It's not like... I've only been here for two days! They're playing mind games with you, and it's got nothing to do with me!"

Tail Sheep: "Scum!"

"Alright, if you don't want to end up in the kitchen as stew, then stay quiet."

The Red-haired Director casually took out a newspaper, wrapped the sheep organs, which were emitting golden light, and placed them on the table. As she glanced at the headline "Century Wedding of the Century," she seemed to remember something and casually asked, "By the way, how's your wedding preparation going? It's just a few days away, right?"

"..."

Oh, right, there's a wedding! Lyon was momentarily taken aback by the Red-haired Director's question, but then he suddenly realized that the end of the month was approaching, and in less than a week, he would be getting married at a young age.

"From the looks of it, you probably haven't done much preparation.

After seeing Lyon's expression, the tipsy Red-Haired Director rested her chin on her hand and smiled as she spoke, "The Bureau assigned them to assist you... um... those Branch Directors. They also have matters to attend to, and it might take a few more days for them to arrive. Why don't you wait a day or two more and get married to Princess Veronica first?"

"..."

Get married first, then go on the mission...

Upon hearing this suggestion, which seemed to be the best way to avoid the FLAG, Lyon hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

Although the process was rushed and he felt inexplicably bound to her, Princess Veronica's feelings for him were indeed deep and sincere.

Hmm... it was hard to say how deep her feelings were, but at least in the Black Goat's soul vision, when she saw him, all the gloom in her soul would instantly dissipate, and she would become "lively" and "vibrant." This went far beyond the level of mere fondness.

However, Lyon's feelings were not as pure as hers.

He definitely had feelings for her, and they exceeded the level of a regular friendship. After all, it was impossible not to be moved by her passionate pursuit. If he truly had no feelings for her, he would have directly refused her long ago.

However, the most irresistible aspect of Princess Veronica to Lyon was not just her love. There seemed to be many other factors involved.

Especially on the day of the Aquarius Ascension, she calmly told him to go ahead and do what he wanted to do. She assured him that she would take care of Anna and the others, and the wedding would take place on the third of next month, regardless of whether he returned safely or not.

At that moment, when she spoke those words seriously, Lyon's sense of security was instantly filled to the brim. He almost gave in right then and there. Although he was moved by her promise, he couldn't help but feel a bit lost.

After all, if Princess Veronica chose him, it was probably because of love for more than 80% of the time. In contrast, love would only account for about half of the reasons for his choice of her.

Aside from this confirmed love, what moved Lyon the most was her promise to help take care of his family, as well as her pure attraction to him.

And the third differently colored badge.

After a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind, Lyon, feeling ashamed, opened the badge panel and looked at the slightly translucent white 【Wandering Prince】 badge. He felt a bit ashamed.

According to Princess Veronica's arrangement, the wedding and coronation ceremony would be held on the same day. The path to upgrade this golden-level 【Wandering Prince】 badge to a differently colored one was to maintain their marital relationship when Princess Veronica ascended to the throne.

This was the main reason why he hesitated and didn't completely sever ties, always refusing her not thoroughly enough.

After all, as long as he didn't refuse, this badge, within the territory of the Wandering Prince Kingdom, could demand anyone of a lower status to bow to him. It would then be promoted to the differently colored badge 【The Man Behind the Queen · Ivory】.

The strength of the differently colored badges was evident in the compulsory damage reduction of the 【Drunk Immortal · Amber】 and the 【Materialist Soul · Scarlet】. The former had saved him countless times, and the latter was his greatest reliance in reaching his current position.

By accepting this marriage, he could directly obtain the third differently colored badge, which... he simply couldn't refuse.
