Adelaide

From Mammon Family, battles Bubowa for title of 3rd general

## Story

Raizen the Great had now chosen Adelaide, who had stronger personal power and weaker in military strategy and commanding army. Although it did not seem very reasonable, everyone present, including Bubowa himself, did not feel that there was anything "unreasonable" because this was Raizen the Great's decision.

This was the powerhouse. Bubowa sighed and smiled bitterly. In fact, he had already guessed the result after losing to Adelaide. Not only because of the emperor's consistent style of advocating power, but more importantly, Adelaide was the royal family of the Bloody Empire. He was destined to have advantages in some aspects that a mutated Great Demon like him couldn't match.

### Tiffany

Judging from this situation, there is a sir who perceives Tiffany as an untouchable taboo or even forbidden, so he brutally and cruelly kills everyone who has been in close contact with her. Instead of calling it protection, it is more like fanatical jealousy.

Although Adelaide is also a royal family, Tiffany is a Demon Overlord powerhouse while Adelaide is only a Demon Emperor. I'm afraid he does not have this qualification yet, so this sir is just using Adelaide. Maybe he didn't receive a direct instruction and just killed those innocent people to flatter and cater to the sir's likes and dislikes.

There are only a handful of sirs that can make Adelaide do this in the Bloody Empire. One of them is Raizen, the supreme ruler of the royal family, but the most suspected one is Adelaide's immediate boss, Second Prince Edmund.

Edmund was attacked when Chen Rui first came to the Bloody Empire. No one knew if his biggest opponent, Aleus, did it, or the culprit played a trick by injuring himself and accused someone else in order to sneak away. The power struggle in the Bloody Empire was unpredictable; it was difficult for outsiders to tell.

### 200th Birthday

The Demon Realm's hundred years old birthdays were the most important ones. Adelaide, who was originally from the royal family, had now been appointed as the third general of the empire. It was not surprising that Raizen led the princes to attend the banquet, but he didn't expect Nate to bring his disciple along.

At night, the residence of the third general in the inner city was very lively.

The guests from all walks of life gathered together. Almost all the influential people of the capital were present. Adelaide being promoted as the new third general and his 200th birthday was a double happiness. His normally cold and stern face was filled with smiles.

In the spacious lobby, a variety of food and wine were displayed. It was slightly similar to a buffet style, but now no one touched these drinks and food because everyone was waiting for the most honorable guest to arrive.

Finally Raizen the Great, the supreme ruler of the Bloody Empire, appeared at the gate, followed by several princes. Adelaide hurriedly led the crowd to greet them. Everyone bowed and exclaimed "Your Majesty."

The Demon Realm's banquet rules were indeed more casual. They didn't have special seatings, and they were free to enter and exit. Even in such occasions where the emperor came in person, small circles of people holding wine glasses while chatting could be seen everywhere.

### Mansion

The defense in the inner city is extremely tight. The third general mansion is full of traps and protective magic circles. Even Demon Overlords cannot easily break in. This person can actually appear in front of me without alerting any traps or magic circles. Besides his unpredictable strength, I'm afraid he has some special abilities.

He really guessed it correctly. The reason how the cloaked man appeared in front of Adelaide silently was because of a special ability, Star Gate.

Chen Rui had long wanted to find the third general alone to "discuss" some issues. He happened to accompany his "teacher," Master Nate, to Adelaide's birthday party, so he entered easily.

Judging from the power of this person, he should be at a high-level in the secret intelligence department. Although the secret intelligence department had great power, Adelaide was not only the royal family member, he was also the third general of the empire's military, so his words were still not polite.

"Then... Let's go straight to the point, why kill the people who are close to Ms. Tiffany?"
This question surprised Adelaide. Suspicion flashed through his gaze, "Isn't this... cooperating with your secret intelligence department's actions?"

The mastermind is the secret intelligence department?

### Puppet and Bloodfall

After becoming a puppet, Adelaide completely obeyed Chen Rui. After ordering the dark guards to leave, he began to lead Chen Rui to the house and told Chen Rui everything he knew.

To Chen Rui's surprise, Adelaide was also a part of the "Bloodfall"!

Adelaide has not joined the Bloodfall for too long. As a condition of joining, the Bloodfall promised that he would be the third general. As expected, Adelaide has become a popular contender for the third general. His biggest opponent was also Bubowa whose personal strength is below-par, so he finally realized his wish.

Adelaide actually joined the Bloodfall upon recommendation by Third General Gordon who has passed away. As he didn't join for long, he had limited knowledge of the organization. The instructions are also conveyed by people. He has sent someone to follow the mysterious person who delivered the order several times, but they either disappeared or died. The source cannot be found at all. After becoming the third general, Adelaide felt that the power of this organization is even more mysterious.

Although he had made Adelaide into a puppet, it was very likely to be exposed in the Bloody Empire where there were plenty of powerhouses and the Bloodfall was the most powerful. Therefore, Adelaide must be hidden.

Coincidentally, before Chen Rui's arrival, Adelaide received an order from Edmund to let him, the third general, stay at home, temporarily ignore the military affairs, and cooperate with Edmund's other actions to further pressure Raizen. Edmund would never give up until Great Prince Aleus suffered a severe setback.

Adelaide took this opportunity to go into hiding in order to avoid exposure. At least, he had to remain "normal" until Chen Rui completed the most critical matter.

## Skills

There are **3** skills that fit the category selection.

## Cultivation

Adelaide's power was stronger than Hemos of the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor who was killed by Chen Rui in Lupin Town. He was slightly inferior to Helor of later stage of the Demon Emperor, but Chen Rui was currently in his normal state. It was difficult to fight if he relied only on his early stage of the Demon Emperor power.
