Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel-Chapter 200: Meeting Gift!

Just as Lilith was about to end the Great Elder’s life...

"Swoosh!"

A figure appeared suddenly between the two of them!

Lilith felt her hair stand on end and instinctively jumped back dozens of meters.

In that instant, she felt a long-lost threat of death!

Once she regained her stance, she looked solemnly at the figure who appeared suddenly.

It was an old man with white hair, his figure so thin it was almost hunched, completely different from the usual robust Ghost Race members.

Yet, this seemingly frail body made Lilith feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

"Ghost Race Clan Leader... Shade?!"

She instantly recognized his identity as a true Totem Level powerhouse!

Shade glanced around at the devastated Ghost Race capital city, his cloudy eyes filled with confusion.

He had only been in seclusion for a while, how did the clan come to be in such a state?

When his gaze fell upon Lilith, the old man’s pupils shrank drastically.

"Blood Progenitor?!"

His withered fingers trembled slightly, his voice turning cold suddenly:

"You’ve intruded into our race, what exactly are you intending to do?"

Shade’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, while the Great Elder took the opportunity to distort the truth:

"Clan Leader! This Blood Progenitor brought humans to wreak havoc at our grand competition, and even slaughtered several Monarch Level clansmen!"

Shade frowned tightly.

When did the Ghost Race become so weak?

To be pushed to this state by a Monarch Tier Five Blood Progenitor?

If it weren’t for sensing the Law’s fluctuations and waking up in time...

"Where is Veridia?"

He suddenly questioned harshly, "Guarding the Ghost Race is his duty, where is he?"

The Great Elder shivered, his eyes flickering:

"This..."

"Speak!"

Under Shade’s pressure, the Great Elder hesitantly spoke:

"Veridia... he betrayed the Ghost Race!"

At this moment, he could only hope that the nine Elders could deal with Veridia...

If the Clan Leader were to meet Veridia, his schemes over these years would be exposed!

At this moment, he was filled with regret.

If only he had known...

He should have just crushed that human to death back then!

"Betrayed the Ghost Race?"

Shade was stunned by the accusation.

If it were other Ghost Race members, he might believe it.

But Veridia...

His vast spiritual power instantly enveloped the entire Ghost Race territory.

Only then did he find Veridia fiercely battling with the nine Elders!

Could Veridia really have betrayed the Ghost Race?

He waved his hand swiftly.

As the space twisted, the figures of Veridia and the nine Elders appeared before everyone.

"Stop it!" Shade shouted angrily, his face dark as thunder, "What on earth is happening here?"

The nine Elders, upon seeing Shade’s figure, trembled all over, their gaze unintentionally glancing at the Great Elder.

Meanwhile, the Great Elder looked ashen...

It was all over, completely over! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Shade’s gaze finally fell on Veridia:

"Veridia, you explain."

Upon seeing the Clan Leader, Veridia knelt on one knee, his voice strong and steady:

"Clan Leader!"

As he recounted the insider details of the Demon Clan’s invasion, Shade’s face turned increasingly grim.

"You mean to say..."

Shade’s voice was as cold as Nine Netherworld Ice: "The Great Elder has been supporting his faction and suppressing dissidents all these years?"

"Absolutely true!"

Shade’s gaze pierced the Great Elder like a sharp sword.

The latter’s face went as white as a sheet of paper, trembling, he knelt on the ground:

"Clan Leader, spare me! These years, I have managed the Ghost Race diligently. Even without merit, there’s been hard work..."

The remaining nine Elders also fell to their knees, eager to shirk responsibility:

"It was all the Great Elder forcing us!"

"We had no choice!"

Looking at this group of Elders pushing blame, Shade’s anger flared up within.

"Enough!"

He shouted angrily, his robe flowing with a powerful sweep.

The nine Elders were sent flying like broken kites, and the severely injured Great Elder coughed up blood, collapsing feebly on the ground.

Having dealt with this group of traitors, Shade’s figure swiftly appeared in front of Aster Grant.

His speed was so fast that even Seraphina of Half-step Totem Level couldn’t react in time.

"Where is my granddaughter?"

His voice carried a sense of urgency.

Ever since his daughter’s passing, he had once been immersed in grief, later choosing seclusion to break through the realm.

Little did he know, upon returning, he learned that his granddaughter was nearly poisoned!

Now...

His granddaughter had actually formed a contract with a human!

However, from Veridia’s account, he also learned that Aster Grant saved Veridia and Scarlett.

Thus, his tone wasn’t entirely pleasant, but it wasn’t entirely harsh either.

Aster Grant thought for a moment, then summoned Scarlett and Veridia.

After all, judging Veridia’s attitude, this Clan Leader was entirely trustworthy.

However—

As soon as Scarlett appeared, she hid behind Aster Grant, and Veridia looked on coldly.

The two had no impression at all of this grandfather of theirs.

In their childhood, they had rarely seen the figure of this grandfather.

Moreover, when the two had been banished from the Ghost Race...

This nominal grandfather didn’t have any intention of intervening.

Thus, the two felt no closeness to Shade.

Shade’s outstretched hands froze awkwardly in mid-air.

His own granddaughters... unwilling to acknowledge him?!

This...

His gaze shifted to Aster Grant.

Even if his granddaughters didn’t acknowledge him, he needed to have this human relinquish the contract.

His granddaughters, as the Ghost Race Clan Leader’s descendants, with a contract with a human...

"Human, dissolve your contract with Veridia and Scarlett, and I will use the full strength of the Ghost Race to compensate you!"

However...

As soon as Shade said these words.

Veridia’s gaze turned even colder.

Even Scarlett’s previously evasive gaze now carried a hint of anger when looking at Shade.

Being of Totem Level, Shade naturally sensed this.

What is going on?

Was he not helping his granddaughters?

Why?

At this moment, Veridia came to his side, reminding him:

"Clan Leader, it is impossible for Veridia and Scarlett to dissolve their contract with Aster Grant, moreover in Aster Grant’s hands, they can receive the best cultivation!"

Shade, upon hearing these words, was about to retort, but turned to see Veridia’s resolute gaze.

The words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed instantly.

With Veridia’s character, it’s impossible for him to say such a thing lightly.

That means...

Keeping his granddaughters in this human’s care is indeed better than them being in the Ghost Race!

At this moment, he looked at Aster Grant with a more serious gaze.

"Human, you..."

Veridia and Scarlett’s gaze simultaneously turned cold.

Several dark lines appeared on Shade’s forehead.

Originally, he wanted to warn this human to treat his granddaughters properly, but now it seems...

His granddaughters had long since inclined towards this human!

He could only swallow his warning.

He turned slightly, his gaze like a knife sweeping towards the collapsed Great Elder, anger flaring in his eyes.

It was all this old fool’s fault, causing his reunion with his granddaughters to be unrecognized!

His figure flickered, instantly appearing by the Great Elder’s side.

Seeing the Extreme Ghost Qi coiled around the opponent’s body, Shade snorted coldly:

"Perfect as a meeting gift for Veridia!"

"Tear——"

As he brutally stripped away the Extreme Ghost Qi, the Great Elder convulsed all over, letting out painful moans.

But Shade would not let him die so easily.

A wisp of Ghost Qi instantly enveloped the Great Elder, keeping him alive!

This account, he would settle slowly!

"Veridia..."

Returning to his granddaughter with the Extreme Ghost Qi, Shade strived to show the most amiable smile of his life:

"This is a meeting gift from your grandfather."

Veridia immediately turned to Aster Grant, eyes carrying a question:

"Master?!"

This unconscious move froze the smile on Shade’s face.
