Chapter 684: Past Events

“It’s truly impossible for it to come to the human world, but what if I told you that Mother isn’t actually dead?” Casimir’s words made Thrace’s pupils constrict.

“This isn’t something to joke about! Casimir!” Thrace stood up and walked over to Casimir, his gaze icy, his pupils even showing a slight change.

There were already signs of demonization.

“I’m not joking. Otherwise, why do you think I’d come looking for you?” Casimir said, looking at Thrace.

“What does this have to do with Father looking for me?” Thrace took a deep breath to calm himself before asking Casimir.

“Not just you, but me too.” Casimir shrugged and said, “You know, the blood flowing in our veins…”

“…” Thrace’s eyes narrowed. “Where is Mother?”

“I don’t know! If I knew, I wouldn’t have come looking for you!” Casimir said coldly.

“Alright, I’ll go with you. Let’s return to Hell for a trip.” Thrace took a deep breath and said to Casimir.

“OK, I’ll go back with you.” Casimir nodded and said, “At least that way you won’t have to face Father alone.”

“You finally said something sensible,” Thrace said.

“Heh, I just think if you die, Father’s strength will become even greater! It’ll be even harder for me to rescue Mother!” Casimir sneered at Thrace.

Thrace silently looked at Casimir for a moment. “Let’s go.”

Casimir shrugged, then he swiped his hand to the side.

Zzzzzzt~ A burst of sparks appeared, then an dark red door opened.

A smell of sulfur wafted over.

Casimir walked in first.

Thrace paused at the doorway, saying without turning his head, “I’ll leave things to Lily-jie during this time. Please take good care of the office.”

“Don’t worry…” Lily-jie nodded, then she mused for a moment before saying to Thrace, “Come back soon.”

“I will,” Thrace replied, then walked through the door.

Then the door closed and disappeared.

Everything returned to normal.

Lily-jie sighed softly, then turned around and looked at Ye Zian. She forced a smile and asked, “Did that scare you?”

“No,” Ye Zian shook his head slightly. “But… could you tell me about it? I’m a bit… well, curious. Of course, if it’s inconvenient, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

“It’s nothing inconvenient,” Lily-jie shook her head slightly and said, then walked to a nearby sofa and sat down. “Sit down, let’s talk. This is a long story.”

“Mhm, mhm.” Ye Zian leaned closer. Gu Yu, seeing that everything was fine, retreated back to her workshop to work.

As for the things Lily-jie was about to say, she already knew them, so there was no need to listen.

Or rather, even if she didn’t know, she wasn’t interested.

Gu Yu and Lily-jie were still quite different. Gu Yu was an “outsider,” joining the team later. Although she was also a demon, it was clear that Thrace and Lily-jie had a “childhood friends” vibe, having known each other for a long time.

Gu Yu was more like just a teammate.

Plus, she was immersed in her workshop. Aside from doing her logistical work well, she rarely actively interfered with other matters.

If it weren’t for her research needing money, she probably wouldn’t even have joined Thrace’s team.

Ye Zian sat down beside Lily-jie, his curious gaze fixed on her.

“You heard some of it just now. What I need to say here is that Thrace and that Casimir just now are brothers. As for who is older and who is younger, I’m not sure, and they’ve always argued about it. Of course, that’s not important.

Thrace and Casimir are both mixed-blood demons, but they’re not like ordinary mixed-blood demons… Other mixed-blood demons are a mix of demon and human, while they are a mix of angel and demon.

From their appearance, Thrace inherited more from his father, while Casimir inherited more from his mother.

This is also related to the power within them. Thrace’s power and bloodline inherited more from his father, meaning the demon side, while Casimir is the opposite, inheriting more of the angel’s power.

Thrace’s father is a demon, and his mother is an angel, just like a melodramatic drama… A demon and an angel united, giving birth to these two mixed-blood demons.

The most crucial thing is that they are the most perfect mixed-blood demons!

Not only are their talents extremely high! But they also perfectly formed a higher-level mixed bloodline!

And their father… well, what I understood before was that he killed their mother, meaning he killed his own partner.

But the current situation seems to be different… I don’t know the specifics.

Secondly, their father, the Great Demon, also a Demon Lord: Doyle Michael, wants to devour Thrace to gain even greater power and bloodline!

But all of this had to wait until Thrace ‘grew up,’ for his bloodline to mature… But Thrace sensed it, which is why he left Hell and came to the human world.

And in the human world, due to the existence of the Chaos Contract, angels and demons find it difficult to descend… So, Doyle couldn’t do much to Thrace.

Doyle, a ruthless and cold-blooded Demon Lord…”

Lily-jie sighed softly, shaking her head. “The two brothers have always been at odds, perhaps due to their personalities, or perhaps because the powers within them are inherently opposing. As I said before, one inherited more demon power and bloodline, and the other inherited more angel power and bloodline.

The two are inherently opposed.”

“Hmm…” Ye Zian pondered for a moment.

Well, it was indeed a dramatic situation.

“However, while their relationship seems bad, in reality, they genuinely care about each other,” Lily-jie smiled slightly. “The person they dislike and resent the most is each other, but the one they trust and feel most at ease with is also each other.”

“Oh~ What about you, Lily-jie?” Ye Zian nodded, then remembered something and looked at Lily-jie curiously, asking.

It seemed Lily-jie and Thrace were very familiar with each other.

“Me? I’m just a little succubus!” Lily-jie chuckled and said, “You could say I grew up with Thrace, like childhood sweethearts! We’ve known each other since we were little. Later, when he came out, I followed him out too.

However, after coming to the human world, we went our separate ways. Then, after several years… he founded this office and found me, asking me to help him, and so I came.

Initially, it was just him and me doing commissions and tasks together, slowly building it up.

Later on, the office gradually became what it is now.

But the core remains him and me… As for Gu Yu, she joined later to become a core member.”

“Oh~” It was only now that Ye Zian truly gained a deeper understanding of the Demon Extermination Squad.
