Chapter 684: Facing A Demon King

Seeing everyone moving away, Lily took a deep breath and nodded, "We'll go, but please be careful, young master."

Even as she said this, tears had appeared in her eyes, falling down her long eyelashes and on her cheeks.

Max sighed and pulled her into his embrace, gently stroking her back. "I'll be safe, so don't worry, okay? You know I'm strong, right?"

"Mm." Lily sniffled in response, pulled away from him, and wiped her tears.

She then glanced at Sera and Emily, "Let's go."

While Sera hugged him and got ready to leave his side, Emily stared at him, her jaws and fists clenched tight. She clearly was very reluctant to leave his side.

Seeing this, Max smiled, took a step toward her, and hugged her. "Listen to me this time, alright?"

Emily wanted to say no, but before she knew it, her mouth opened, and she found herself nodding, "Okay. I'll listen to you."
