Chapter 282 You're Not the Mayor's Favorite Son

With the intelligence provided by the White Curtain, the demon hunter squad quickly completed its assessment and determined the direction of its investigation.

As for the white curtain, let it be. With it around, some things are actually easier to handle.

Since the primal demons have their eyes on the White Curtain, let's clear out more attacks from them and warn them that Rota City is not to be trifled with.

As a citizen of Rota City, Bai Mu encountered a demon attack, and Rota City's demon-hunting force gave the demons a powerful counterattack.

There were no problems with the process at all; in fact, because of this, Bai Mu was willing to pay them... well, that goes without saying.

"Alright, now that we've determined the direction of the investigation, let's begin formally."

When it comes to serious matters, Elek becomes serious. Dealing with demons requires utmost seriousness. He can joke around normally, but when it comes to demons, he takes it very seriously.

They currently know nothing about the primal demon Luxenbra, but further investigation will allow them to determine the origin of this primal demon.

The subsequent actions will both warn the original demon and provide further information about it.

Before that—find the office clerk.

Now that they've started cleaning up Rota City for anything related to illegal demons, they should be able to gather some relevant information.

"The demon-hunting force of Rota City is going to take action against a primal demon?" Atresia looked at the white screen with a somewhat subtle expression. "You mean a primal demon killed the mayor, or killed the mayor's own son?"

"I didn't mean that."

The summoned Atris shook her head and said very seriously, "No, no, no, that's what you mean. Otherwise, the city's administrators would be crazy to think of killing a primordial demon."

Unless that primal demon did something that forced Rota City to do this, or the primal demon wasn't powerful enough.

According to the information provided by the White Curtain, the original demon was clearly not weak enough, and the politicians in Rota City were not crazy.

“Or perhaps—” Beatrice revealed a mischievous smile, a smile that, combined with her appearance, made her very attractive.

She scrutinized the white curtain: "Are you the mayor of Rota City's biological son?"

"It's not that bad. Anyway, I understand what you mean."

Bai Mu sighed with a hint of melancholy. Although Beatrice's words were largely a joke, she had already conveyed her intended meaning.

The city of Rota certainly doesn't want to go to war with a primordial demon, but it also doesn't want to remain indifferent.

Therefore, even if there were actual actions, what was ultimately done was not what Bai Mu had imagined, such as directly and ostentatiously killing a primordial demon.

Some beings connected to Luxembra will suffer during this operation, but the primal demons will remain unharmed.

Unless White Curtain possesses conditions that would force Rota City to eliminate the other side.

"You're not thinking of killing this primordial demon, are you?"

"Hmm." Bai Mu nodded. That was exactly what he was thinking, but it seemed that this idea was impossible to achieve.

"...Can you defeat a primal demon? No, where does your confidence come from that you think you can defeat a primal demon?"

Beatrice was even more speechless. The management of Rota City couldn't be crazy, but White Curtain seemed to be.

It hasn't been long, and they're already thinking about taking action against the original demons.

"He... oh, I provoked him first, and he's started retaliating. Do you think I can let him live?" Bai Mu raised an eyebrow slightly and said matter-of-factly, "He's a demon!"

"Even so, the premise is that you have to be able to beat them." Beatrice was even more speechless. She didn't know which kind of original demon Luxenbra was, but she had come into contact with original demons before.

Knowing just how powerful these demons are, and having come into contact with primal demons herself, she was very wary of such beings.

She had never thought of killing a primordial demon, but Bai Mu was already thinking about how to kill one. Judging from his attitude and intentions, once he succeeded, his future targets would not only be the primordial demons who had provoked him.

"How will I know if I can beat them if I don't try? I originally wanted to take this opportunity to find out, but the local demon hunter team is not up to par."

Beatrice couldn't help but laugh: "It's the same in other places too."

No one would risk offending a primal demon without a reason, unless they are absolutely certain of killing it, or have a compelling reason to do so.

The idea of ​​a white curtain seemed somewhat fantastical to Beatrice, but she could also understand it.

This guy was never content with the status quo, so how could he miss an opportunity to test the strength of a native demon?
He wouldn't be foolish enough to directly provoke the native demons, but he could do so if his goal was the same as the demon hunters'.

However, the Demon Hunter squad's plans would not allow him to have his way.

"Alas, humanity is still perhaps too weak."

Beatrice couldn't help but roll her eyes, her words carrying a hint of earnestness.

"With your arrogance, be careful you don't trip and fall to your death one day. Think about it carefully. If you can really pose a threat to the primal demons at will, do you think they'll tolerate your existence?"

"Why not? Kill all the ones you can't stand." Bai Mu said nonchalantly, knowing that the dream creatures were targeting real-world human geniuses.

But he also had his own ideas. The reason why real-world geniuses find it difficult to stand up is simply because they are not geniuses enough, and no one has emerged who can directly change the status quo.

"In that case, we can start with him." "You're right, but this is the future, not now. You should keep a low profile right now."

Beatrice had her reasons, and White Curtain had his.

"Come on, that demon is already looking for trouble with me. Do you think it's useful for me to keep a low profile? Besides, I've collected some more fragments of his spirit this time."

"..." Atrist fell silent. There was indeed no need to keep a low profile anymore. Bai Mu had completely offended a native demon.

"On the other hand, I haven't studied the original demons yet. If you can really do that, then you can preserve his body as much as possible."

Beatrice also has a crazy and persistent side, otherwise she wouldn't have come this far.

Decades ago, she was also innocent and naive, so after failing to persuade Bai Mu to turn back, Beatrice quickly changed her mind.

If White Curtain truly has the ability to kill a primordial demon, that would be a good thing.

He has already offended a primordial demon to death. If he doesn't take the initiative to attack, his fate probably won't be good.

Compromise will not end well, nor will taking the initiative. So why not take the initiative and see if it works out?
There's not much to delve into about ordinary demons. Occasionally, some local demons might awaken some knowledge through their bloodline, but the knowledge they acquire is always incomplete.

The original demons, on the other hand, possess more comprehensive knowledge. If Bai Mu could kill an original demon, the benefits would be enormous.

"By the way, do you know her?" Bai Mu took out a wanted poster.

“I know.” Atrist glanced at the information on the wanted poster and nodded. “But I advise you not to have too many ideas. She is more terrifying than a native demon. She has a record of killing native demons.”

The wanted poster that Bai Mu produced was for Evangeline, who is a vampire. There are many vampires in reality.

They are similar to demons, and because of the strange dreams, there are many different kinds, so the upper and lower limits fluctuate greatly.

This vampire is one that many primal demons dare not mess with.

There might be those they could afford to offend, but those primal demons had no reason to cause trouble for each other.

The reason Beatrice paid attention to the other party was naturally for the sake of immortality.

Based on the information she obtained, Evangeline, the vampire who came from another dream, was someone with almost no weaknesses.

Because of its immortality, it has been coveted by many, and that's how it is now.

In Beatrice's view, a bounty of thirty million was not worthy of the opponent's strength at all. However, the main reason why the bounty would not be increased was also related to the opponent's battle record.

Beatrice's attitude towards this bounty was absolute and cautious.

How strong Luxembla remains to be determined, but there is already a lot of information about Evangeline's strength.

She was afraid that Bai Mu would suddenly do something reckless.

"You know her quite well?"

"...I don't really know that much about it, I just paid more attention to it in my pursuit of immortality," Beatrice explained truthfully.

She pursued immortality, but she was certainly not satisfied with normal immortality. People die when they are killed, and once the body can extend lifespan, she would always want to find ways to further avoid death.

She looks down on some vampire types because those types have too many weaknesses. But what if they had no weaknesses and were immortal?

Beatrice once had feelings for Evangeline, but nothing came of it; Evangeline's track record made her hesitate.

The idea of ​​peaceful exchange was thwarted by a magical trap in the area where the other party had settled.

She didn't even get past the outer magical traps, which were non-lethal and only served as warnings. If they were deadly, she wouldn't have been able to wait for the White Curtain to come and take her away.

"I have no intention of causing her any trouble. On the contrary, I would quite like to get to know her."

"Huh?" Beatrice was taken aback, carefully examining Bai Mu's face, and instead revealed a thoughtful expression.

"This seems pretty good?"

If Bai Mu can find a backup plan, then he won't have to worry about the threat of the original demons, or at least not most of them.

Bai Mu looks strong and good-looking. Even if he were to be sucked blood by vampires for a long time, his physique should be able to withstand it.

However, Beatrice quickly came to her senses and abandoned these meaningless fantasies. She felt that if Bai Mu really went to see the other party, it was more likely that she would offend him to death.

"Right, making friends should be very simple."

"Should? You're not thinking of using her first, achieving your goal, and then betraying her, are you?"

Atrist asked White Curtain with some suspicion, after all, White Curtain's attitude towards dark creatures was not very friendly, and it was possible that he would do such a thing.

"Don't think of me as so dark. I'm not that extreme. Let's talk about this later."

Beatrice believed half of what Bai Mu said.
