Rick and the others resisted right away.
“You scumbag! If you use the trine worm on us, I will kill you and your family!”
“Go ahead and kill us if that's what you want! Don't you try your nasty tricks on us! Man up!”
“Even if that means I have to kill myself, I won't allow your evil plans to happen!”
With that said, they prepared to commit suicide.
However, Daemonium would not allow them to die right away. After suppressing them with his energy, they couldn't
move again.
Meanwhile, Cesar released the trine worms. Similar to the seven-spot ladybird, the trine worm had an attractive
appearance but was fatally toxic.
As the trine worms flew into the nostrils and ears of Rick and the others, their gaze became empty.
Cesar smiled at Daemonium pleasantly. “You can interrogate them now, Master.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaemonium asked, “Are you sure they will speak the truth?”
Cesar nodded firmly. “Of course. If you don't believe me, you can start by asking them.”
Daemonium turned to Rick and began, “What is your real name? Where are you from?”
Rick replied in a trance, “My real name is Joshua Baker. I am from Salinsburgh.”
“What is the thing that you regret the most in your life?” Daemonium asked again.
Rick replied, “Having an affair with the Dullioud Supreme's wife.”
Cesar burst into laughter. “Holy sh*t! I knew that woman has been faking her innocence all along! To think she had
an affair with Baker!”
Daemonium nodded in approval. If Rick told him about his affair with the Dullioud Supreme's wife, it meant that the
trine worm was indeed capable of making people tell the truth.
“Your trine worms have indeed lived up to their name,” Daemonium praised.
Delighted, Cesar smiled happily. “Thank you, Master.”
“Who ordered you to patrol here?” Daemonium continued questioning Rick.
“It was Zeke's orders,” Rick replied.
“What did Zeke ask you to do here?” Daemonium continued.
“He wanted us to keep an eye on the river. If anything happens, we have to notify him in time. He gave us a piece
of stick and asked us to break it into half so that he can sense it and arrive in time.”
Daemonium continued asking, “Does that mean there is something in the river? What did Zeke want you to keep an
eye on?”
Rick shook his head. “I don't know, but I heard them mentioning something about a dragon.”
A dragon?
Daemonium was confused.
Moments later, his eyes shone with realization.
He exclaimed agitatedly, “Dragon! Fortuna has the form of a dragon! Could it be Zeke's Fortuna? Has Zeke's
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFortuna left his body and gone underwater in this river?”
“It must be it, it must be it,” Daemonium muttered to himself in excitement. “Fortuna must have been attracted to
something in the boundaries!”
Daemonium had been wanting to get his hands on Fortuna for a long time because of its immense power.
However, he didn't have the chance because Fortuna had been hidden inside Zeke's body.
Now that Fortuna was out of Zeke's body and was left alone beneath the river, it was his chance to get Fortuna.
There was no way he could keep his cool.
I will do anything and everything as long as I can get Fortuna!
Daemonium made a vow in his heart.
However, Fortuna was too strong for him alone to absorb.
After pondering carefully, Daemonium remembered the Fourth Branch of Netherworld.
I guess I have to depend on the Fourth Branch of Netherworld for help.
At the thought of it, Daemonium immediately ordered Cesar, “Keep an eye on the situation here and continue
patrolling with Rick and the others. If you notice anything, report it to me at once. I need to leave to settle
something, but I'll be back as soon as I can!”
