The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

"I think he probably also made such a promise to our father, which is why he arranged for him to go to the distant Thunder County."

"Enough, I know now, don't say anymore," Kamu painfully closed his eyes, "Why... didn't you tell me earlier."

Xino was silent for a while, then looked up into his eyes.

"Did you ever listen to what I said?"

Kamu fell into silence, which then turned into a sigh.

"It's my fault."

As the head of the family.

Elder Zakro certainly has his own responsibilities, but that doesn't mean his responsibility can be shirked.

The surrounding family members exchanged glances, including the servants huddled in the corner, all at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"This is our last chance..."

Xino took out a notebook of Reggie Dragon from his bosom and slowly handed it to Kamu.

Looking at the surprised Kamu, Xino said in a deep voice.

"Zakro gave me this notebook and said that in the future I would be the next family head, and then I went to the Truth Department to report it as a meritorious act, putting all the responsibility on you... I agreed to him at the time, but I don't intend to put all the responsibility on you as he expected, otherwise, you'd be truly finished."

After a pause, Xino said seriously.

"I think... if you confess the situation to the Truth Department, explaining your role and Zakro's role in this farce could be beneficial to your eventual sentence."

Kamu stayed silent for a long time upon hearing this, a trace of a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, in Elder Zakro's eyes, he had long been a discard.

How ironic.

In the end, he was still hoping the old man could think of a way to turn the tide.

Kamu reached out to hold the notebook from Xino's hand, but did not take it.

After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke.

"... If we explain Zakro's situation, it might not be beneficial for the Dragon family, as many of our resources are in his hands."

Xino knew what his brother was thinking.

If the goal is centered around the greater good, having the family head take everything upon themselves really is the best choice.

However—

He's not a cold stone.

He believes his brother isn't one either.

Otherwise, upon hearing about his disappearance, he wouldn't have been so anxious, even threatening Luo Yan with breaking ties completely.

This information was told to him by Luo Yan, that's how he knew.

Xino let go of his hand and placed the notebook into Kamu's hand, earnestly saying.

"Losing those resources is nothing to fear; we still have our territory, we still have our people. If we let him continue to manipulate us from behind the scenes, our future would be truly over."

Looking at the resolute Xino, Kamu's stern expression gradually softened, his eyes showing a trace of approval, and a comforting smile appeared on his previously fierce face.

As if a burden had been lifted from his heart.

"... You've grown up."

He stretched out his hand, patted Xino's head, and then tucked the notebook into his bosom.

"I feel relieved with you becoming the next family head."

Surveying the frightened and uneasy members around, Kamu announced in a commanding voice.

"After I leave, my brother will inherit my title and glory; he will be the next head of the Dragon family! You must unconditionally follow his orders, just like you used to follow me and our ancestors, reviving our fallen banner and honor... consider it a fresh start."

He finished speaking and cast one more look at Xino.

"I'll leave here to you."

Xino looked at him and solemnly nodded.

"... I definitely won't let you down."

In just three generations, the Dragon family, once ruled by Purple Crystal Level demons, had unexpectedly fallen to the point where a Silver Level demon had to shoulder such a heavy burden.

Kamu felt sentimental but wasn't as terrified as before, even possessing a calmness he never had in the past.

If it was a year ago, he would definitely feel like the sky was falling and couldn't face the ancestors of the Dragon family.

But now—

He actually felt that perhaps tomorrow would be better.

...

The hot evening wind brushed a restless melancholy, the gate of the Dragon family estate slowly opened, yet a surprising figure emerged for many demons.

The sword-bearing high-ranking judge was slightly surprised, his gaze directly staring at Kamu who was walking forward calmly, his eyes fixed on the raised right hand—or more precisely, the notebook held in it.

Which was somewhat different from expectations.

Wasn't it agreed that the one coming out would be the brother, why did it become the elder brother?

A vaguely uneasy feeling crept in his heart, but now it was too late to do anything.

There were too many eyes here...

The deputy officer was equally surprised to see Kamu, though for completely different reasons.

Things had developed just as his superior said.

The gate really opened!

Kamu stopped at the entrance, knelt on one knee, and bowed his proud head to the menacing crowd.

"I, Kamu Dragon, am ashamed for tarnishing the grace of Lord Demon God, deceived by treacherous words, I foolishly committed a great sin..."

His Adam's apple moved, he said in a deep voice.

"I want to surrender myself."
