Is he not the assassin?

Lith had to make sure of one thing. That was, whether the person below him really was the one behind his assassination attempt.

Though Lith found a King Rank here, he wasn't entirely sure if this was the right person.

Firstly, there could be more than one King Rank and secondly, there could even be an Emperor Rank instead of a King Rank, who knows?

Lith therefore didn't just kill the guy on the spot despite being angry and just held him by his neck.

"Who are you?" Lith asked calmly. He decided to do one question at a time and not rush things.

Zelph's body was crushed and it was aching everywhere. He looked in front of him and saw Lith's handsome face. But instead of getting charmed by Lith, he felt as if a scary devil was in front of him.
