Chapter 241: Lord of the 9 Prisons

"Oh? What do you mean..." Although Cassius knew he couldn't deceive this Lord of Nine Prisons, he still feigned ignorance, pretending to be oblivious while asking earnestly.

Asmonthy wasn't angered either; he just picked up the wine bottle again and leisurely poured himself a glass.

Swirling his glass, he spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "Heh, just three days ago, Koschech united several Abyssal Lords, and seizing the opportunity of Zarriel's death, led the Abyssal Legion to invade Aphernas.

Piere is frantic, pacing around like an ant on a hot pan, and now the issue has reached me, so I, this old chap, have no choice but to step in and resolve it."

Cassius chuckled awkwardly, trying to change the subject, "With Piere's strength and methods, he should be able to repel the Abyssal Legion and keep Aphernas safe for you.

In my opinion, he's much more reliable than that lunatic Zarriel. Actually, I'm helping you by suggesting that you let a more capable subordinate rise to power."
