Adam, with an expressionless look, watched as the girl in front of him sat on a chair and hummed songs, occasionally transitioning to ordinary humming. Her gaze was tender, and her smile was expressive and captivating, making unprepared hearts of men beat faster.

But for Adam himself, this lady was not the most pleasant companion to spend a great time with. Her songs were imbued with the magic of illusions, and although it wasn't as powerful, there was still a chance to be immersed in illusions.

Days passed like this – the young girl would come to him, have a brief conversation, sing songs, and then leave with a smile. It was unclear what she wanted to convey, but Adam could only remain vigilant. He still remembered her power and was sure she reached the level of Amarantha.

And now, after another singing session, Adam snorted unfriendly and shook his head. The system warned again about the illusion, and he couldn't be stunned. With each time, the illusion became stronger, while resisting became harder. He sighed and examined his body.

Now he was fully healed, and his magical energy was filled almost to 70%, but there was a problem – it was limp and ineffective. It was like drinking dirty water from a puddle after getting used to clean mineral water.

"I still can't contact Amarantha. I assume I'm somewhere in the back, isolated by a magical barrier," he thought and frowned.

A week later. Adam was fully recovered, and his body looked as energetic as before entering the portal, but there was one note – his magical energy was unstable, and using it was somewhat dangerous, but it would suffice for emergencies for the time being. Today was different from other days because he was finally untied.

It wasn't the young lady who chatted with him all the time but an unknown lady with beautiful facial features. She was a first-class beauty with black hair and blue eyes like diamonds. Stars shone in her pupils, and her thin pink lips were alluring.

However, she was beautiful only from the upper half of her body; from below, it resembled something fishy. According to Adam's assumptions, it could be a mermaid, considering he was somewhere underwater. His assumption was likely correct.

For the entire time, the mermaid didn't even look at him and just did her job. After Adam was untied, he stood up, stretched, and cracked his fingers and back. The observing mermaid looked puzzled, not understanding why he was doing this.

"Human, what are you doing?" she asked curiously, tilting her head. Her fishtail swayed a bit, while her eyes sparkled.

"What? Didn't get the question," Adam puzzled, then remembered his movements and chuckled. He smiled, somewhat puzzled by such an unusual question, but still answered, "I just decided to stretch to relieve tension from the bones. Although I don't need it now, it has a relaxing effect."

"I don't quite understand. Why do something you don't need? Aren't you wasting time in vain?" innocently asked the mermaid.

"Cough... well, you're right. But it's a habit, plus, it's pleasant when it cracks," replied Adam, grinning.

He relaxed his shoulders and raised an eyebrow, hearing a crack. Turning his head, Adam saw the mermaid repeating his movements, cracking her fingers.

"Wow, this is relaxing!" the mermaid exclaimed with surprise and a smile.

"..."

Adam didn't know how to react to the fact that he taught the mermaid strange things, but he didn't care anymore after she couldn't crack anymore.

It turned out he was released not out of goodwill. After the mermaid lost interest in the new amusement, she immediately led him to a huge hall.

Shush. Shush.

Walking on the red carpet, which was unbelievably long, Adam couldn't help but notice the number of experts on both sides. Clad in armor adapted to their bodies, they held spears with tips shimmering with bright rainbow light.

In the center was a massive throne primarily meant for kings, and behind it were two smaller thrones. Three humans sat on these thrones – actual humans, not mermaids or something else.

On the main throne sat the familiar girl. Still young, still beautiful and intriguing, with an unusually serious expression and an overwhelming aura, as if Adam found himself in front of Elizabeth again during an audience in the royal hall. It was unusual, but somehow Adam remained calm.

Everyone was silent. This silence lasted until Adam reached a distance of five meters from the steps that connected the platform where the throne stood.

Then, the mermaid behind him lowered her head as much as possible, and her gaze pierced Adam, who still stood carefree in his handsome suit. Before being brought here, he was dressed in a double-breasted black suit and given classic black shoes. So he looked quite influential, and his smile was enchanting, causing a few maids to instantly fall for him, but it didn't yield any seduction points because they were weak.

"Demon Adam... apparently, you're not particularly surprised to learn my identity?" the young girl suddenly began the conversation with a raised eyebrow.

"Why, yes? I am surprised," replied Adam with a carefree smile, adjusting the hair that fell on his shoulder.

"Well, I don't see your surprise. It's a bit disappointing considering all the preparation for this event," said the girl, sighing.

The guards couldn't help but exchange puzzled glances. For some reason, it seemed to them that this wasn't a particularly significant event, just a regular visit from a guest. However, they couldn't say anything.

Adam casually answered the questions of the young girl, occasionally glancing at the two people behind her.

It was a middle-aged man and a very old grandmother. Although they looked frail, Adam didn't dare judge by appearance, as he could sense their powerful aura without even trying.

Suddenly, during the carefree conversation, a question was asked that surprised him a little.

"Are you familiar with Veronica, the Demon Queen of this world?"

Adam was on the verge of frowning when he heard the question from the silent old woman. She stared at him with a piercing gaze, and in her blue eyes, he could discern hatred and irritation. A million thoughts crossed his mind, but he could only pretend.

"I'm familiar with her, but only as a legend. I haven't met her in person," he replied, not flinching under her intense gaze.

"Hahaha... are you trying to deceive me, little pup?!" suddenly exclaimed the middle-aged man, rising from his seat and directing his pressure towards Adam.

"Cough..."

Despite the difficulty, Adam managed to use his ability acquired after forming the sin of "Pride." It helped him reduce the pressure, allowing him not to kneel but to maintain a dignified appearance.

"You seem a bit arrogant, don't you think? If I say I don't know, it means I don't know," Adam replied, ignoring the cracking of his bones due to the intense pressure. He smiled and lifted his chin, radiating pride that could affect even strong guards.

"You..."

The man was furious and about to approach him, but the young girl sitting at the head only chuckled and waved her hand. Immediately, a terrifying pressure appeared, instantly seating the man on his throne, preventing him from getting up. Coughing up blood, the man turned his gaze away, not daring to continue.

At the same time, ignoring his condition, the young girl smiled at Adam.

"Don't worry. No one will harm you while you're my guest," she said and chuckled. "Moreover, I'm acquainted with Veronica. You can consider us... hmm... comrades? Well, I won't harm her son, or else it won't be easy for me to pacify that bitch. Hehehe."

"..."

Adam narrowed his eyes, feeling uncomfortable that his identity was recognized. Although it could be advantageous in some cases, most of the time, it led to endless troubles. Veronica had more enemies than allies, and he found it hard to believe that this girl and Veronica were allies.

Or more precisely, Adam didn't want to believe it. Because if she was indeed close to Veronica, then...

She's at least of SSS rank.

===

Veronica, who sat in her castle studying ancient records, suddenly frowned when she felt that her mark on Adam suddenly disappeared. Her facial expression distorted immediately, and in the next second, a loud explosion resounded. The entire castle lifted into the air in the literal sense of the word, while Lucius, who was peacefully meditating, was stunned.

A chandelier fell on him, and he turned towards the library where smoke emanated. He trembled all over his body.

"Why, mother? Angry?"

The last time this happened was when she discovered Adam's disappearance. Most likely, something happened to him again. Lucius felt strange.

Why did this guy have so many problems? Not much time had passed since he got into some mess, and now he's swimming in the sea of crap again! Lucius just couldn't understand; either he was unlucky or a fool.

"Uh..."

Either way, he had to react quickly and activate the castle's protective mechanisms to minimize damage. By the time he headed to the library, Veronica was no longer there.

Looking at the hole in the wall, Lucius trembled all over and felt the desire to sleep and never wake up again. He had to work again!

"Why. Always. Suffer. Me?!" He screamed at the top of his lungs: "Fuck!"

However, he still had to start the repairs.

To be continued...
