After Transmigrating as a Demon, I've Been Adopted by Angels!

The next day, the Wildrose clan’s mansion welcomed important guests.

The Wildrose clan, Peony clan, and Sunflower clan’s representatives all arrived at the Wildrose clan’s mansion in a carriage.

“Long time no see.”

“Long time no see.”

Under Argus’ reception, the representatives of the other three families had already arrived at the round table.

After everyone sat down, Argus slowly said, “I’ve gathered everyone this time because of a strange thing that happened yesterday in my South City district.”

“Strange thing?”

“Yes, last night, in Rose Bar on South City’s Wala Street, my subordinate in charge of that area, Kartoth, was killed.”

“Kartoth?”

“You’re not talking about that hooligan who spends all day in Rose Bar and only knows about money and women, are you?”

The Peony duke questioned.

“For the sake of a hooligan, you want to summon the representatives of the other three families? Aren’t you, Argus, being too arrogant?”

“Don’t tell me that if your Wildrose clan has something to do, our other clans have nothing to do?”

The other two representatives also nodded their heads. Although they did not say anything, if they were really here for a hooligan, they were really unhappy.

Argus frowned and slowly said, “This meeting of our Wildrose clan is indeed related to Kartoth’s death.

“Just last night, in Rose Bar, Kartoth exploded into a bloody mist out of thin air.

“Rose Bar is the business of our Wildrose family. It’s impossible for a mole to lie. Moreover, everyone’s statements are exactly the same.”

The three of them looked at each other and understood just by looking into each other’s eyes.

It was likely that Argus thought that someone in their families had killed Kartoth last night.

Although Argus was an insignificant existence to the four great families, they absolutely could not allow the other families to act arrogantly in the area under their control.

“I understand what you mean.

“However, unfortunately, last night was our Peony clan’s annual gathering. All the members of the immediate bloodline were gathered for a meal.

“You know, Argus, the power of demons can only exist under our immediate bloodline?”

The man from the Peony clan said slowly.

“This can’t be done by our Rose family. Even if I don’t have any evidence, I can be sure.”

The person in charge of the Rose family was a middle-aged woman. Even if time had stopped making this middle-aged woman beautiful, it was still possible to see that she was definitely a super beauty in the past.

“Your South City district is filled with slums, especially the streets of Wala and West Finks. That stench… our family members have always been mysophobic, so how could they go to such a place?”

The three people present turned their gazes toward the last person. He was the person in charge of the Sunflower clan.

Seeing that the three people were staring at him, the man said coldly, “If it happened yesterday, it definitely couldn’t have been our Sunflower clan. We can’t tell you the details. That’s a secret within our family.”

Argus frowned. The person in charge of Rose, Peony and Sunflower clans did not even admit that Kartoth’s death last night had something to do with their clans.

He did not think that they were lying. After all, the one who died was just an insignificant hooligan.

Even if he was serious, he would at most compensate them with a few gold coins.

They probably would not even bother to lie about such things.

What was going on?!

A thought faintly surfaced in Argus’ heart.

At this moment, a servant knocked on the door, walked in and immediately whispered something to Argus’ ear.

Argus frowned.

Then, he said to everyone.

“Sorry, it seems that my thoughts are correct.

“In our Pompeii City, besides us, a new demon power possessor has appeared.”

Argus said calmly.

“As everyone knows, although there are some demons in Pompeii City, they are all inferior demons.

“Superior demons who have signed a powerful contract with us will find it very difficult to cross the spatial teleportation point and come to our human world.

“That’s why we, who have offered our souls, are the most suitable subordinates to a superior demon.

“This new demon who possesses chaos power might pose a threat to the rule of our four great clans.”

Argus slowly said.

“You’re right, Argus. Are you planning to attack that fellow who possesses demon power?”

“But you have no idea where he will appear.”

The middle-aged woman said.

Argus nodded and continued, “I know that, but I just got the news through my informant.”

“Last night, Kartoth only died after robbing Wharton on West Finks Street. Kartoth, who just came back from the sea, only provoked this Wharton.”

“Wharton?”

“A name I’ve never heard of. Is he the one with demonic powers?”

The middle-aged man from the peony family said.

“Not really.”

“After my investigation, Wharton is just an ordinary handyman who worked in Pompeii City for more than twenty years, living at the lowest level of the city.

“Yesterday, because he resisted Kartoth’s plunder, he was ruthlessly taught a lesson by Kartoth. If he had demonic powers, he would have acted long ago.”

Argus slowly analyzed.

Everyone nodded.

Unless this Wharton was a psychopath with masochistic tendencies, it was impossible for him not to retaliate after being taught a lesson.

“So, what is the relationship between this Wharton and the guy with the power of the demons?”

“Although the person with the power of the demon isn’t Wharton, it is obvious that he has a deep relationship with Wharton.

“As long as we follow Wharton, we’ll definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the person with the demonic power.”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Argus’ words.

“Since that’s the case, in order to prevent this person from threatening the rule of our four great clans, our Rose clan will also intervene.”

“Our Peony clan can also join.”

“The Sunflower clan will also join.”

Argus nodded his head.

“Very good. Since that’s the case, it was our Wildrose clan’s initiative, I’ll take the lead. Naturally, I have to put in more effort.

“If it’s necessary for this operation, I will personally take action and kill that person.”
