Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2123

The light faded, and the only sound that could be heard in the dungeon was the rattling of the chains. Demon was nowhere to be seen.

Hagin heard the sounds coming from the cell and yanked the door open. He rushed in and saw the empty spot where Demon had been chained to."

"What the… Where's Demon? Did you really kill him?"

The cell was guarded tightly, and there were no passages to escape through. The only way out was the door, and Hagin had been watching it the whole time just now. He would have definitely seen Demon if he had escaped.

Yet there had been no sign of Demon, but he was indeed nowhere to be found now. There was only one possibility. Could it have been the noise from just now?

Hagin turned to the old man, who said, "Yes, Sir Hagin. Demon was reduced to dust. He's dead."

"Y-You did that?"

Hagin looked down at his watch. "Eight minutes! You two only took eight minutes to kill Demon. How is that even possible?"

"Oh, I had nothing to do with it," said the old man. "It was all Wilbur. He was the one who killed Demon with one blow."

"Alright, fine. Either way, you've passed this challenge, and you may take the eighth dragon cauldron with you."

"Thank you, Sir Hagin."

"Alright. You may come with me to take the cauldron now."

In the mirror, Ramos' reflection smirked back at him. "Didn't Senior Fremont tell you? There's going to be a huge shift in the underwater city when the chosen one appears. I'm back now. We'll never be apart, no matter how hard you try to get rid of me. That's the best piece of advice Senior Fremont's given to you."

It turned out that Fremont had come to the underwater city back in the day, where he met the merfolk emperor. The two of them had dueled against each other, and Fremont had beaten the emperor with ease. Ramos had wanted Fremont to be his master, but Fremont turned him down, saying the time just wasn't right yet.

Emperor Ramos had actually been a human cultivator. His mother found herself in the world of the merfolk one day all of a sudden and ended up marrying a merman, thus birthing Ramos.

That was why the merfolk emperor had a human form, but his blood was half merfolk.

Ramos had been highly gifted and quickly mastered the six main energies of the underwater city. His powers grew immensely as well, but his human form caused him to be mocked endlessly. This filled him with shame and resentment, causing him to wear a mask and refrain from showing his real face to others.
