Chapter 358 - I Don’t Know What’s A Good Title For This (Comment For Suggestions)

Jiu Shen stared back at Amon with a disinterested look before closing his eyes. Meeting this guy again in the Crimson Fiend Continent was indeed a surprise, but he did not show it on his face. He couldn't care less about the man's presence at all since Amon was just a nobody in his eyes.

When Amon saw that Jiu Shen wasn't even taking him seriously, he felt his face twitching in irritation as he thought. 'So he wasn't able to recognize me because I changed from... I overestimated you, Jiu Shen. Hmph!'

Amon led his group to a table near the area where Jiu Shen was sitting.

"Your Highness, here's the menu." Amon heard a deep voice behind him as he was handed a menu.

"Thanks." He nodded his head and turned his gaze to the one who gave the menu. When he saw the familiar face of Burlock, he was startled.

"Aren't you Demon Lord Burlock?! What are you doing in this place?" Amon asked in surprise as he sized up Burlock who was wearing a waiter's clothing.

Burlock smiled proudly as he patted his chest. "Your Highness, I work for Wine Master Jiu Shen now."

Amon almost had the urge to smack Burlock, but he suddenly heard a cough from his side. Turning his head, he saw Hanzo shaking his head. Amon failed to understand the latter's intention so he shifted his gaze back to Burlock and said. "It seems like you enjoy working for a human now, Lord Burlock. I could still remember your heroic figure from back then, but it seems like you've had a change of heart when I was gone..."

Hanzo stretched his arms towards the prince and tried to stop him from talking, but he retracted his hands when he saw Amon glaring at him seriously.

Burlock could sense the sarcasm in the prince's voice, but he didn't take it to heart. When he saw Jiu Shen's display of power, he vowed in his heart that he will follow this man even if it means going against the Demon Emperor!

Although Burlock's life under the Demon Emperor's rule was great, he find it rather boring and restricted. He couldn't do the things he truly wanted since there are so many restrictions, but when he worked for Jiu Shen, he felt that he was free despite being hesitant at first.

Burlock smiled meaningfully at the arrogant prince and merely bowed his head lightly at him. "Can I get your order now, Your Highness? I still have to get the orders of the other customers..."

Amon gnashed his teeth in anger and just as he was about to stand up, he felt a strong hand pushing his shoulders.

"Burlock, give us one order of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit each. Here's the payment..." Hanzo said as he handed a bag filled with Blood Stones.

Burlock counted the subordinates sitting with Hanzo and Amon before he checked the contents of the bag.

"There are eight of you here. I've checked the Blood Stones inside and it is just the right amount. I'll go get your orders right away." Burlock said with a smile before he went to the wine storage.

Looking at his proud back, Hanzo could not help but shake his head regretfully. "To think that such a proud man has actually betrayed His Majesty..." He then stared at Jiu Shen who had his eyes shut tight.

Hanzo could not sense any traces of true essence in Jiu Shen's body. It was as if he was looking at a normal person. He also tried probing the man with his spiritual vision, but there was an invisible power preventing him from taking a closer look at Jiu Shen. Hanzo knew that this was Jiu Shen using his spiritual power to warn him not to probe further. 'This human's spiritual power is so much stronger than mine! That old man Jun wasn't exaggerating at all when he said that this Jiu Shen might be as strong as His Majesty! But what is his purpose in going here? I don't believe he is merely here to open a wine store...'

Amon noticed that Hanzo was staring at Jiu Shen intently. He believed that this executioner might be probing Jiu Shen's power using his spiritual power. 'Let me help you a bit...'

"Wine Master Jiu Shen, you might not recognize me in this face, but what about now?" Amon suddenly said as he activated the jade pendant he was wearing. His whole body morphed and turned into a human.

The demons who were inside the store were surprised when they saw this transformation. Items capable of transforming their owner are very rare and valuable. In their continent, only a few nobles and high-ranking soldiers are in possession of this.

Amon smiled with a smug look at Jiu Shen, but then, he noticed that Jiu Shen did not even open his eyes to look at him.

"You!"

"Your Highness!" Hanzo held Amon with a stern look on his face. He knew that bringing Amon here was definitely a bad idea. He didn't want to provoke Jiu Shen at the moment since he was still unaware of the man's power. He has to wait until the Demon Emperor would check Jiu Shen himself.

"Don't mind him, Wine Master Jiu. His Highness is just weary from his travel." Hanzo said with a smile, but even he was also ignored by Jiu Shen.

"Guests, here is your order." Burlock's tall figure suddenly blocked their vision. They watch him as he placed the bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit carefully on their table.

"Lord Demon Ancestor Jun! Bad news! Bad news!" At a small hut on top of the mountains, an old demon sitting cross-legged inside the hut was startled by a loud voice.

"What is it?!" He stood up with irritation as he looked at Zagan who was staring at him anxiously.

Seeing his subordinate's pale expression, his face fell as he asked. "What happened?"

Zagan took a deep breath as he replied in a worried tone. "Prince Amon is back! He is now inside the lotus building with Executioner Hanzo! I think the prince might do something crazy..."

"Oh no!" Demon Ancestor Jun hastily flew towards the lotus building, leaving behind Zagan who still had an anxious look on his face.
