Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

Malin immediately thought the main wife was going to make a move against the concubine, then quickly kicked the unworthy Republican drama in his mind away—this was clearly a test for the succubus. If she really endured it, then it proved she was worth saving.

Hmm, Nameless didn’t act, but instead had this young wife make a move, which could prove that she indeed intended to test the succubus, rather than kill it on the spot.

After all, if she really wanted to kill it, she wouldn’t need to do it this way; a simple look, and dust would return to dust, earth to earth.

So Malin turned his attention to the Great Serpent Spirit: "What is this guy planning to do."

"What do you think, Malin." Hearing Malin speak, Nameless put down the glass in his hand with an expectant look, waiting for Malin’s answer.

Since it was Nameless waiting for this answer, Malin’s smile toward the Great Serpent Spirit turned cold: "Kill it, then head to its lair and kill all the serpent spirits there."

"Oh, why do you think that." Nameless was somewhat curious, "I see that you can deal with devils, do business with the undead, and even have an outstanding subordinate like Ails. Don’t you think such a great serpent could also be used as a minion?"

"I don’t think so. Consider this, Sir: that devil is merely a henchman. My dealings with him were meant to show this city that I’m someone who can transact business—this way, I gain intelligence and support that I wouldn’t otherwise have access to, thereby broadening my path here." Malin sat beside Nameless, looking at the High God. "My dealings with Ails are even earlier. Back then, Ails and I each got what we needed, the transaction was pleasant, and both sides maintained the channel of trade very tacitly until I grew strong, and Ails simply followed me in action, gradually transforming himself."

"What do you think of this guy?" the lady sipping her drink inquired.

"A man-eating monster, an irredeemable Evil God; its death is its best contribution to this world. If it were up to me, I would ensure that every beast daring to harm children meets its deserved end," Malin replied with certainty.

In this matter, Malin believed that both Nameless and the lady would agree with him—otherwise, they wouldn’t have made an appearance in Mark City.

After all, the troubles faced in this city aren’t just from city management. Only the strongest deities have the privilege to disregard such rules.

Malin did not consider himself strong, but he believed that anyone daring to tell him he couldn’t skin a serpent spirit here would certainly be dealt with alongside the serpent spirit—playing neutral with him? In this black-and-white multiverse, who are you to try?
