I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

She took out three sparkling diamonds from the box and placed them in front of the other person, saying calmly and indifferently.

Each diamond is a top-quality product refined through alchemy, and its appearance is magnificent and eye-catching.

The receptionist's attention was immediately drawn to the three diamonds on the table.

He took out a tray and tweezers, and then carefully began to examine the three exquisite diamonds.

While looking around, he also subtly glanced at Duanmu Lian, who was casually looking at the shop not far away.

Just looking at the other person's neat and dignified attire, as well as their casual demeanor and eyes, it was as if they didn't care at all how much money those three diamonds could be exchanged for.

This clearly shows that the other party has an extraordinary background, but is not someone to be trifled with.

Thinking of this, the person in charge of the valuation did not dare to be presumptuous and gestured a number to Duanmu Lian.

"Sir, what do you think of this number?"

Duanmu Lian glanced over casually, then looked at the person making the appraisal with a meaningful gaze, which made the other person break out in a cold sweat.

The other party then quickly increased the price, which made Duanmu Lian look away and agree to the price.

For him, the amount of money was irrelevant.

Diamonds are made through alchemy, so money can naturally be made as well.

However, he needs a legitimate source of money that can be traced by others, so that when he needs money later, no one will find out that something is wrong.

After settling into a hotel, Duanmu Lian began to use money to establish herself in the Kingdom of Lizhe.

After buying a house, he took over a jewelry store and a weapons store as a cover for his identity.

These are things that Duanmu Lian should not have to do herself.

Therefore, he hired and added many servants for the renovation of the house and the alteration of the shop.

However, it seems that something strange has mixed in with the servants who came.

"Hmm... a man dressed as a woman?"

Duanmu Lian, who was about to go to other districts, looked at the silver-haired twin-tailed girl in front of her with a strange expression.

The other party was one of the maids he had hired.

Judging from her appearance, she was undoubtedly a beautiful young girl with a cute face and a slender figure.

The silver hair on her forehead covered the left half of her face and eyes, revealing only her emerald-green eyes.

This cute and beautiful silver-haired girl with twin ponytails was, in Duanmu Lian's eyes, a man.

"....well!?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's words, the silver-haired, twin-tailed maid's expression stiffened for a moment.

"Are you a man?"

Looking at the silver-haired twin ponytails in front of her, Duanmu Lian's expression was calm and indifferent, but her eyes were full of certainty.

After all, he himself has a rather 'beautiful' androgynous appearance, and you can see subtle differences from others of his type in the details.

"Um, I... I don't understand you—Huh? Oh my god!!!"

The silver-haired, twin-tailed maid was about to make an excuse, but before she could finish speaking, her voice turned into confusion, and then into a scream.

Because Duanmu Lian swiftly moved in front of the silver-haired, twin-tailed maid, lifted her skirt, and reached out to 'pick' her up.

Hey! Don't touch it!!!

Once she realized she had "grabbed" something, Duanmu Lian grabbed the hand that was slapping her and said coldly:

"Please stop reacting like a little girl, it's disgusting. I want a real maid, not a crossdresser!"

Without waiting for the other person to react, Duanmu Lian grabbed the other person by the back of the collar, lifted them up, and threw them out of the house.

Thump—

The silver-haired maid, who had fallen to the ground, sat on the ground outside Duanmu Lian's house in a duck-like position, looking completely bewildered.

Elisa Yorkshire, that's the name of the silver-haired twin-tailed maid.

14 years old, male, from a rural area... This is the identity that Scarlet has given herself.

The reason I applied for the maid position that Duanmu Lian needed was to get closer to her, but...

Damn it, how did that guy even find out?!

On the surface, she appeared weak, but inside she was so angry that she was gritting her teeth. She turned her head to look at the closed door behind her.

In Grom's report to Him, it was said that the Balrog seemed to have a beast-like intuition, but could a beast's intuition distinguish gender?

Never mind, it was his fault this time.

I shouldn't have been so greedy for the better physical attributes of men and made this body look like a woman with a male body.

However, we must not give up until the very last moment.

Before switching bodies to come into contact with the Flame Demon, one must understand the other party.

(Let's test the Balrog's personality first...)

Thinking this, Scarlet squeezed out a few tears, stood up, and knocked on the door of Duanmu Lian's house with an anxious and tearful look.

"Um, I'm sorry for hiding my gender. I didn't mean any harm. I really need this job..."

If you don't care about the gender of the body in Scarlet's body, this scene does look quite pitiful.

Scarlet did this to see what kind of personality Duanmu Lian had.

Upon hearing the knocking and hearing Fei Hong's voice, Duanmu Lian didn't open the door, but instead calmly asked:

"You really need the money?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's voice, a gleam of excitement flashed in her crimson eyes.

He wondered to himself, could this Flame Demon be someone who appears strong and ambitious on the surface, but is actually kind at heart?

If it's true, that would be great. People like that are very easy to control.

Crimson, who was secretly plotting this in her heart, continued in a soft and pitiful tone:

"Yes, yes, my village was attacked by a dragon. My family members were injured by the dragon and desperately need money for treatment..."

(Crimson: Hurry! Keep pitying me! Open your heart to me even a little bit!)

"Are you willing to give up everything for your family? Are you willing to do anything?" Duanmu Lian continued to ask.

"Yes, I'm willing to do anything to cure them!"

(Crimson: Oh! It's loosened! It's loosened! It seems even the Balrog has a soft side...)

"Oh, I see. Then go sell your ass."

"...well?"

Upon hearing this, Scarlet's face stiffened, and another part of her mind also froze.

This sudden change left even Crimson stunned for a moment.

"I can't pay you right away. You're so considerate of your family, so the sooner you make money, the better. So go do that job. You're so cute, I'm sure you can get a good price for your virginity."

Duanmu Lian's leisurely yet considerate voice came through the door, instantly igniting the CPU of the crimson-faced man outside.

Are you kidding me? Does he really look like a kind person full of compassion and sympathy?

He had no compassion or sympathy; the suffering of others was nothing but fleeting clouds to him, not worth the slightest attention.

"I, I, I...you, you..."

"What's wrong? You don't want to? You said before that you were willing to do anything for your family. It's just a matter of getting a little involved to make money. It's that simple, isn't it? Are your family's lives less important than your ass?"

"......"

Crimson retracted her previous thought; this [Flame Demon] was not a creature with a normal personality.

The other person's words were devoid of any sympathy or pity... indifference?

No... he could tell it was a feeling he didn't care about at all.

This guy is really troublesome.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Upgraded Sword of Hell!

Hae-hoo World, located in the rocky forest of South Korea.

Before Hell, who was sitting cross-legged in place practicing his skills with his eyes closed, a figure exuding overwhelming domineering aura slowly emerged as he carefully practiced breathing exercises and meditation.

That figure was taller and more robust than hell itself.

This figure is none other than the leader of Hell, the God of War Yuan Zhan!

After reading the Sea Tiger Trilogy and learning about his future experiences, as well as the principles of the Hell God of War, he was able to achieve it with his Hellish talent.

Once one understands how to harness the power of hell, progress becomes rapid and swift.

During this period of quiet cultivation, he thought of his elder brother, whom he missed dearly for giving him the chance to live.

Recalling the God of War from the comics, Hell simulated and pondered countless times, finally creating the prototype of the God of War within a power level of 150,000 horsepower.

The God of Hell must rely on his closest and most trusted people to ensure there are no future troubles.

Moreover, the other party must have a strong personality.

Hell believes that his elder brother, the God of War, is strong. If his elder brother, the God of War, is not strong, then he is not qualified to be called the God of War!

At the same time, it is precisely because they are the people closest to and most trusted that one can have feelings for them.

Emotions are also one of the driving forces behind magnetic field power.

Hell sees the familial bonds, brotherhood, and love between the God of War and his family as the strongest driving force to propel his power!

Therefore, when he was training in Hell, the God of War would appear to accompany him and train with him to improve.
