Henry grabbed Laily and landed on the tip of a tree. Two seconds later, the figure of the old man also appeared.
The old man stared at Henry. He changed his calm appearance, took a worried look at Laily in Henry's hand, and said, "What do you want to do?"
"It should be me who asked you what you wanted, right?"
Henry pinched Laily's throat and said, "You Orcs, where do you come from? What kind of place is that Abyss? Why are you hiding in the human world?"
The old man took a deep breath. "It seems that you don't understand us very well. I think you can let her go first. I will tell you everything you want to know."
"You're not qualified to bargain with me."
Henry's hand, which was holding Laily's throat, became a little tighter.
In the face of beauty like Laily, any man would feel pity for her, but Henry didn't. If he did, he would have died long ago. Having been in deadly situations for so many years, Henry had already understood a problem. Whether it was a man, a woman, an adult, or a child, no matter what the other person looked like, they could all take his life.
Laily was grabbed by the throat by Henry, and her face showed a painful look.
"Say it!"
Henry shouted.
"Alright, don't get too excited."
The old man stretched out his hands, "We are Orcs and come from the Abyss. What kind of place is that? I can't describe it to you. It's not a lie, but we don't know what kind of world we are in. The area we can move to is limited. Some of the Orcs are born as kings, some are slaves, and I am a slave. But Laily is not a slave. The places I can go are limited. I only know that the area where I live is full of darkness and there is no light. My food is the leftover bones."
"You're saying that she's royal because of her surname?"
Henry asked. He remembered that Adonias was surnamed Gu.
"Yes."
The old man nodded, "Gu is the surname of royals among the Orcs. I brought her here a long time ago. It has been 20 years. I brought her here when she was three years old. I'm here for nothing but to watch her grow up."
Henry couldn't tell whether the old man was telling the truth or not. He continued to ask, "Who is Adonias?"
"He's Laily's brother and the heir to the King."
When the old man said the name, his body trembled slightly. "He is very violent. He shouldn't have left the Abyss, but he has already come. This means that the army of the Abyss is really here."
"I see. He's very strong, isn't he?"
Asked Henry.
"Very strong."
The old man nodded. "Lord Alene isn't a match for him. In my opinion, only the Noble Berserkers' Sacred Lord might be able to fight against Adonias."
"Oh, I see."
Henry gradually loosened his grip on the Laily's hand. "So I'm wrong about you?"
The old man nodded and shook his head again. "No, I know what the habits of the people with Adonias are. If you have seen them, you will certainly misunderstand us. Not all the Orcs are the same."
"There's something very strange."
Henry looked confused.
The old man said, "Go ahead." "If Laily is surnamed Gu, then, why is she with you and call you uncle? Why didn't you stay in the Abyss?"
The old man sighed, "I was just a servant, and when I took Laily away, she was only three years old, and she could not go back. Her parents were killed by Adonias. Adonias would kill all his closest relatives to ensure the purity of his blood, and he would also kill Laily."
"Oh?"
"In that case, the reason why Adonias has come this time around is for you?"
"Or you don't want to say it?"
Henry smiled slightly and said, "In this case, there is no need to continue to keep you here."
As Henry spoke, the purple light around his body spread out, forming a sharp spike that stabbed toward the chin of Laily.
"Mr. Zhang, show some mercy!"
A figure suddenly appeared beside Henry and stopped the cyclone condensed by the purple light on Henry's body.
"Alene."
Henry saw the comer.
Alene, a beautiful and sexy woman, stood in front of Henry and said, "Mr. Zhang, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"It seems that Master Alene really cares about these two people?"
Henry looked around and saw Baret and more than a dozen strange figures coming with Alene.
Alene also looked back. Originally, when she learned that someone took action in Green Capital and left, and hurt the Chens' people, she thought that she would punish this person. But when she arrived and saw that it was Henry, the idea of punishment in her heart disappeared instantly.
This person was not someone she could offend.
Alene explained to Henry, "Mr. Zhang, the relationship here is very complicated. Can you tell me what happened? Did they provoke you?"
Alene's tone was very polite, and she did not dare to offend Henry at all.
Henry nodded meaningfully. "This relationship is indeed very complicated. As for what it is, you don't need to know it now. Please do me a favour. Gather all the masters of the four districts here. Immediately!"
Henry spoke the last word in the tone of command.
