Chapter 67: 066 ‘Demon King Mansion In the garden filled with birdsong and fragrance, Shane and Lasha stood facing each other, one radiating an aura of aggression, the other maintaining a calmness that was so exceptional it made the atmosphere oppressive. Shane attempted to determine the truth behind Lasha’s words through her demeanor. After all, Shane was not naïve enough to take the words of a stranger at face value. However, Lasha’s behavior was too calm, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever and remaining indifferent under the oppressive force of Shane’s aura. Although she exuded no sense of power and seemed just like an ordinary Maid compared to Laischa, who was imbued with an incredible aura, it was highly unusual for someone like her to maintain such composure under Shane’s explosive temper; even Laischa probably couldn’t have managed it, let alone a Maid with no sense of power. Was she truly Laischa’s twin sister? ... If so, why would the twin sister of the free-spirited Lady assume the identity of her Maid? (I can’t make sense of it.) Shane kept sizing up Lasha until she confirmed that no matter what, she could not fathom her thoughts, and finally gave up. At that moment, Shane considered for a while, then slowly began to retract her Magic Power. “Skill acquired—[Oppression]—do you wish to learn it?” In such circumstances, a new skill had been obtained by Shane. Source: , updated on novgo.co Shane glanced at it and discovered that it was an active skill that could apply both mental and physical Oppression to all targets within a certain range by releasing Magic Power or one’s own imposing aura. Perhaps Shane acquired this skill directly because she had taken such actions? Shane thought and decided to learn the skill for the time being. “Don’t let me find out you were just joking.” Leaving these words for Lasha, Shane picked up her pace once more. However, this time, Shane was not preparing to enter the mansion, but stepped out of the garden and left directly. “May I ask where you are going?” Lasha, watching Shane do this, asked calmly. Shane, however, paid no attention to her and stepped straight out of the garden. Until... “I knew it, you’re the type to play your cards in an unconventional way.” With a voice that sounded somewhat resigned, the space around Shane distorted, and the scenery began to change. Shane only saw a blur before her eyes, and soon after, she was in a luxurious reception room. “Please, enjoy your tea.” With a voice much calmer and cooler than that of a typical maid, Lasha spoke softly while lightly placing the steaming, fragrant cup of tea in front of Shane. This time, Shane made no other move. Protected by the skill “Abnormal State Resistance,” Shane had no fear of being poisoned in his tea. Therefore, Shane took the teacup and took a sip of the tempting tea. In an instant, the delicious taste spread within his mouth. “This is really good...” Shane couldn’t help but express his surprise, murmuring the thought aloud without realizing it. “Isn’t it?” Laischa immediately responded as if she had been complimented, joyfully saying, “The tea that Lasha brews is considered the finest in the Three Realms.” Laischa seemed to take pride in this fact. “You flatter me, Lady,” Lasha returned with a plain remark. “I’m merely stating the truth.” Laischa, on that account, showed a strange stubbornness. Shane understood Laischa’s pride. The tea indeed tasted delicious and fragrant, almost as fine as the one Shane had previously enjoyed at Nien’s place. Being able to serve something on par with the tea used by the Goddess to entertain guests, it was understandable to show off a little. Unfortunately, Shane wasn’t really here for tea. “Let’s cut to the chase.” Without any courtesy, Shane directly addressed Laischa, “The person the Old Demon Clan Faction is looking for... it’s you, isn’t it?” In response to this statement, Laischa simply smiled, her silence speaking volumes. It was a confirmation. For the portrait carried by Killian was of Laischa. That’s why Shane, who had fought with Laischa, was said to have remnants of her magic power. That’s why Killian followed this magic power to find Shane and interrogate him. It made sense that Tielle would have a lead. When down in the Mangar Mountain Range, Laischa had given Shane her address. The invitation containing the address was buried by Shane but was picked up by Tielle, who had seen everything. And so, they were all able to find this place.
