Chapter 263 -263-Evelyn? I’m the One Who Really Knows How to Cause Trouble!
Evelyn’s furious roar immediately drew the attention of Jester Tycoon and the others.
Especially for these lofty nobles, being cursed out as lunatics naturally made their expressions turn ugly at once.
If it had been Caelan, none of these upper demons would have dared say a word.
After all, what Caelan possessed was a genuine invitation from the Lord of Abyss himself.
But Lady Evelyn was different. The invitation in her hand had only been issued by an Abyss Administrator.
The Abyss Administrators were indeed powerful, but each had their own jurisdiction.
Even a mighty Abyss Administrator was, in the end, still a member of the demon race. Under normal circumstances, they would not make things too ugly with the upper demons.
And Evelyn had clearly crossed a line now—she had actually called all of them lunatics!
"Lady Evelyn, you need to calm down, calm down!!"
Jester Tycoon shouted as he tried to step in and stop the upper demons from acting.
But the power of one person was limited, after all.
In an instant, all the upper demons present erupted with intense killing intent.
At that moment, Evelyn could even feel that they were about to make their move.
The Supreme Staff also went on full alert and secretly transmitted to her,
"My heavens, girl, you’re even better at stirring up trouble than that brat Caelan!"
"Evelyn, aren’t you worried you might actually die here? With this many upper demons, I’m afraid even I can’t handle it!"
Evelyn let out a cold laugh, her whole body tensing as she prepared for battle.
"It’s fine. I’ll deal with them."
Just as both sides stood at sword’s point, with the atmosphere frozen to the brink, a playful voice suddenly rang out beside everyone’s ears.
"So many people... did something happen?"
The next moment, nearly everyone turned toward the source of the voice and saw Caelan and Shaki approaching.
The moment Evelyn saw Caelan appear, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
She did not know when it had started, but she had somehow begun to develop the faintest sense of reliance on him.
When Jester Tycoon saw Caelan return, he was briefly stunned before stepping forward, intending to smooth things over.
But before he could say anything, the upper demons all began roaring angrily,
"You humans have gone too far, haven’t you? We kindly invited you to attend the Fallen Revelry, and yet you call us lunatics??"
"For the sake of those lowly Orefiends, you dare insult us great and noble upper demons? Your human race must give us an explanation!"
"That’s right, you must give us an explanation, or I’ll kill you!"
The one speaking was a crimson demon, his body covered in exaggerated red fur. He bared his fangs and claws, looking ferocious and menacing.
"Threatening me?"
Caelan’s eyelid twitched. Then he casually dug at his ear, putting on an utterly unconcerned attitude as he looked down at the crimson demon from above.
"Do you know that what I hate most is being threatened?"
The next moment, Caelan lightly flicked a finger. A flash of sword-light swept past, instantly shaving every last hair from the crimson demon’s body clean off!
For the crimson demon, that blazing coat of red fur was a symbol of his status, dignity, and pride.
And yet with nothing more than a flick of his finger, Caelan had stripped him of it completely!
"You bastard, what did you do to me?!"
The crimson demon instinctively covered his body, while the rage in his heart surged past the brink of reason!
Faced with such humiliation, the upper demons at his side also began looking at Caelan with murderous intent flickering in their eyes.
So what if you’re a guest of the Lord of Abyss?
You offended so many upper demons at once—did you really think you could walk away unscathed?
Even the Mind Demon King, Shaki, looked displeased after seeing Caelan’s attitude.
"Caelan, do you really think that with your strength, you can do whatever you want in the Abyss?"
"And what about those Fragments of History? Do you not care about them anymore?"
Shaki had first been rejected by Caelan when she tried to borrow his seed, and now she had personally witnessed his arrogance toward the upper demons. At this moment, her heart had gone completely cold.
As for the upper demons, though they did not attack immediately, they glared viciously at Caelan and Evelyn.
"You have angered every upper demon here. You are enemies of the demon race! From this day forward, you will never obtain Fragments of History again, nor will you ever be allowed to enter the Abyss!"
"Damnable humans, you will pay a painful price for what you did today! For the rest of your lives, you will live in fear and unease!"
Faced with the curses of these upper demons, Caelan’s temper flared.
Wasn’t it just one sentence—calling them lunatics? Did they really need to react this strongly?
And now they were threatening him in return. Did they really think he was some harmless vegetarian?
"You people... aren’t afraid of death?"
Caelan’s voice turned icy as he drew the longsword from his back.
He had already made up his mind: if these upper demons refused to hand over the Fragments of History, then he would not mind if the demon race ended up with a dozen or so fewer branch species.
The moment those words left his mouth, it was no different from a direct declaration of war.
In an instant, the atmosphere froze solid!
And just when everyone thought that today’s battle could no longer be avoided, the Mind Demon King, Shaki, suddenly spoke.
"Caelan, I can give you the Fragments of History. But in exchange, you must promise to leave the Umbra Club forever and never attend the Fallen Revelry!"
"Other than that, we will allow you to set foot in the Abyss, but you may not enter our territory."
"And one more thing—everything you did today, I will report in full to the Lord of Abyss."
"If you agree, then let today’s matter end here."
Though the Mind Demon King Shaki was overflowing with fury, she forced herself to remain calm.
She had no choice. Caelan’s strength truly made her wary.
If Caelan unleashed the same power he had displayed yesterday in the Fallen Arena, then aside from herself, none of the upper demons present would likely survive.
So after weighing the matter, Shaki ultimately chose to compromise.
If she had not been worried about her subordinates suffering severe losses, she would have made her move long ago!
Hearing Shaki’s proposal, Caelan narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked,
"Before we trade, tell me first—how many Fragments of History do you actually have?"
This time, Shaki did not answer aloud. Instead, she directly projected a massive image onto the glass curtain wall.
Although the contents shown were only a projection, it was still clear that it depicted an Instance space.
And Shaki had deliberately used concealment methods, making it very difficult to discern anything truly valuable from it.
