Devil’s Son-in-Law

ld harm me as well…” Gade’s breathing became quicker and quicker.
He could barely hold his eyes open.

Chen Rui showed a look of understanding.
Gade was always grateful to Athena’s father, General George.
As the mole, Gade knew that the Red Devils were powerful, so he repeatedly urged Athena to leave the mine.
Unfortunately, he never succeeded.
Just as Athena was about to risk going down to rescue the miners, Gade was worried she would be in danger and accompanied her.
However, Gade did not know that the miners’ situation was part of Connor’s plan, nor did he know that Connor’s true identity was not the Red Devils’ spy, but a loyalist being manipulated by some mysterious force.
The purpose of this was to kill Athena and instigate chaos in the Fallen Angel Empire, allowing the forces behind him to take advantage of it.

“I don’t blame you.
Without you, the miners could not have survived.” Chen Rui squatted down and comforted him.
Although it was Red Spirit estate’s plan to keep the mine temporarily, from Gade’s point of view, it was out of his control.
Anyway, Gade’s conscience was for the miners.

Now that he was dying, it was best to let him die in peace.

“Sir Chen Rui.” Gade still did not understand how this human whom he considered a weakling was in fact an extraordinarily powerful man.
Unfortunately, he did not have the strength to say unnecessary words now.

“Please take good care of…” Gade inhaled in a breath, but could only desperately squeeze out an unfinished sentence.
His body trembled violently and gradually became quiet again.

“Don’t worry.
I will protect Athena with my life.” Chen Rui sighed.
He gently closed Gade’s eyes and stood up.

“I’m sorry…” Athena looked at Chen Rui with a sad look on her face.
Before she could speak, Dodo’s reminding voice sounded.

“Master, be careful, they are coming!”

He could see the four Medusas had already dealt with their allies’ bodily injuries, and they were slowly coming over.

Because he was at a further distance previously, he could not clearly see the rumored intelligence.
But now the close range in addition to the light of the ring of illumination, he could see more clearly.
Medusa’s hair consisted of small snakes that could move.
Although she had beautiful facial features, her pale gold pupils were similar to the vertical pupils of certain snakes, making her look more forbidding.
She wore a simple armor on her torso, but small scales could be faintly seen on her skin.
The lower half of her body, below the navel, was a wriggling snake body.
It looked beyond strange.

Chen Rui noticed that the Medusa corpses on the ground were dismembered and shattered.
The ones attacking were the living Medusas.
He was on his guard.
It seemed that these demonic beasts were extremely cruel.
They did not even show mercy to their own allies’ corpses! Athena must have encountered them by chance just now and was forced to fight on the same side because they had a common enemy.
Now the demonic flies were eliminated, the possibility of them betraying was quite high.

showed that these Medusas were all of Higher Demon level.
Based on their vibe, the one with the bow was the most powerful.

The Medusa with the bow looked Chen Rui for a while and bowed slightly.
She even performed a general demon etiquette.
She stuck out a snake-like forked tongue from her mouth, hissing sounds forming a silly language, “Ah… thanks.”

Chen Rui was very surprised.
Although Medusa was an intelligent demonic beast, they still could not be compared with other highly intelligent creatures like the dragon.
It was the first time he heard that a Medusa could speak the general language of the Demon Realm.
However, Medusa’s pronunciation was abstruse, a bit like a foreigner who just started learning Chinese.

Athena had a lot of her things in her heart that she wanted to tell Chen Rui, but she knew that now was not the time.
After drinking the healing potion and recovery potion he had handed, she said, “Gade and I were chased by those terrifying flies and happened to bump into them fighting the flies.
They even knew how to speak the Demon Realm language, so we worked together to deal with the flies.”

The course of events was similar to what Chen Rui expected.
It seemed like only the Medusa with the bow could speak the Demon Realm language.
Moreover, her vocabulary was is limited and sounded weird.

“What is your name?”

Chen Rui spoke this sentence in his consciousness using .
The Medusa was surprised, and the “foreign language” in her mouth became “hisses” of varying length.
Although Athena couldn’t understand it, It sounded more fluent in Chen Rui’s ears.

“How do you know our language?” Medusa said in surprise.
“My name is Lusa, thank you for saving us.”

“Hello Lusa, my name is Chen Rui, and she is Athena.” Chen Rui asked the most important question, “We are from aboveground.
Is there any other way to return above ground?”

“There is only one way back above ground, but the enchantment there is very strong.
It inhibits people with powers above Demon King level.
If you have already reached Demon King level, there is nothing you can do.” Lusa’s answer made Chen Rui frown.
It seemed like the only way out that Lusa knew was this one.
Initially, neither he nor Athena had reached the Demon King level, but now that the enchantment had been destroyed by Connor, it had become a one-way entrance.
On could enter but could not leave.
Unless he could achieve powers of Demon Emperor Level and forcefully break it open, there was no hope of leaving.

Chen Rui asked, “Lusa, I was born with the power to communicate with other species, so I can talk to you.
However, I’m very curious, why do you know how to speak Demon Realm language?”

“My husband taught me.
His name is Tim.”

Chen Rui was shocked. Tim! He was the last mining officer who disappeared mysteriously two years ago!
