At this moment, Peng Zhenyuan, the Hall Master of the Demon King Hall, was seated at the top of the grand hall. On either side of him were four redwood high-backed chairs.
Seated on three of the chairs were two men and one woman—three protectors of the Demon King Hall: Xiao Kuo, Wolf King, and Alice. However, the chair on the far left, which belonged to Wang Tian, was notably vacant.
After a brief silence, Peng Zhenyuan's slow but deep voice broke the stillness: "Wang Tian is dead. He died in China!"
"Hall Master, you're joking, right?" Alice immediately laughed as she spoke.
But the only response she received was Peng Zhenyuan's exceedingly serious gaze, which made her awkwardly stop laughing.
