Chapter 0096 – Nothing at the End of Your Life – Absolute Returns

“I hope that we can be friends.” I looked him straight in the eyes and said, word for word.

“Friend?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon was first stunned, and then laughed out loud, “You can’t be joking? You and I are at loggerheads, how can we be friends?”

“I know, it sounds a little unbelievable,” I didn’t flinch at his mock evil, “but I’m serious.”

“Why are you doing this?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon collected his evil features, and there was a hint of incomprehension in his tone.

“Because, I don’t want to make an enemy of you.” I replied frankly.

“Do you think that I will believe your bullshit?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon said coldly and evilly.

“Believe it or not,” I shrugged, “I just want you to know that I mean you, no offense.”

“Then why did you reject my offer?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon pursued.

“Because, I don’t want to be your pawn.” I replied without hesitation.

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon was silent.

My words, I knew, had spoken to his heart.

The only reason why he came to me three times was because he wanted to figure out just how I killed the Soul Regenerating Demon Lord and what kind of power I actually wielded.

He wants to use me, wants to turn me into a pawn in his hands, to root out dissenters and clear the way for him.

But I, for one, will never let him have his way.

“You’re smart,” the Extremely Evil Evil Demon suddenly spoke, a hint of admiration in his tone, “but you’re too naive.”

“Maybe.” I said lightly.

“Do you think that, just because you rejected me, you can stay out of this?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon snorted coldly, “You’re wrong, from the moment you returned to the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect, you’ve already been out of your depth.”

“So what?” I stared at him without fear, “My destiny is up to me, even if I’ll end up in pieces, I’m still going to walk out on a path of my own!”

“Good! Well said!” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon suddenly let out a loud laugh, “I really wasn’t wrong about you, you’re much more interesting than your brother who only knows how to follow the rules!”

“I’m flattered.” I said lightly, but in my heart I was secretly relieved.

I know, I made the right bet.

Although the Extremely Evil Evil Demon looked ferocious on the surface, in reality, he was an extremely proud person who longed to be recognized by others.

As long as I can show enough value to make him see my potential, he won’t go easy on me.

“Since you’re so sincere,” the Extremely Evil Evil Demon suddenly turned his words around, “then I’ll give you a chance.”

“What are the chances?” I asked in a heartbeat.

“Be my friend.” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon said again, this time, his tone was less teasing and more serious.

I looked at the man in front of me, who was also an enemy and a friend, with mixed feelings.

I knew that becoming friends with him would mean going up against a tiger, and if I wasn’t careful, all would be lost.

But I had no choice.

“Okay, I promise.” I said slowly, taking a deep breath.

Hearing my reply, a trace of sincere evil look finally appeared on the face of the Extremely Evil Evil Demon.

“Hahaha, good! Good! Good!” He said three “good” words in a row, obviously in a good mood, “From today onwards, you and I are friends!”

I looked at the temperamental man in front of me and prayed that I had made the right choice, this time.
