James refrained from acting rashly.
Yvan once again took his seat at the forefront of the main hall. Waleria remained seated on the ground.
“How did you uncover our identities?” Waleria inquired.
The Deputy Master, Zeloneth, smiled lightly and said, “Initially, we didn’t recognize who you were. It was only when you disappeared for millions of years that Master calculated you’d appear soon. Delaying any further would’ve allowed him to recover from his injuries.
“I didn’t realize you had infiltrated this universe as imposters of the Simpson couple.
“However, the Simpsons have an old friend who’s still acquainted with Master. I only found out upon informing Master that the couple had actually fallen into the Theos Sect a long time ago.
“Still, even if you hadn’t impersonated them here, Master would’ve revealed himself and set you up for the kill. You would’ve been trapped in his formation upon arrival.”
“So, that’s how it is.” Waleria realized.
James stepped forward and said, “Master, Deputy Master, Waleria and I truly have no connection. She merely employed me as her bodyguard using the Empyrean herbs. To prove my commitment to joining the Daemonium Sect, I’ll kill her right now.”
James raised his hand and moved to strike Waleria’s head, but before he could strike, an immensely terrifying force spread, forcing him back.
Yvan, who was at the forefront, spoke calmly, “As I’ve mentioned before, I won’t kill her right now. You’re free to go. It’s better you don’t linger any longer. If you choose to remain, please don’t hold me accountable for my actions.”
Yvan refrained from killing James for two distinct reasons. Firstly, eliminating James would not compel Waleria to surrender the runes, even if she had damaged them. Secondly, James held no significance to him. Whether he was released or not, he posed no threat. Furthermore, even if Yvan did want to end James’ life, he could not do so in Waleria’s presence.
