Capítulo 1039: Naked Truth

His lady remained silent, the weight of Joey's revelation hanging heavy in the air. She knew Joey to be a man of truth, not given to exaggeration or falsehood. Yet, what he claimed was beyond belief. However, understanding the gravity of the situation, he knew he had to compose himself.

"As a Demon King, this man is bound to pose a threat to Rosewood City," Joey asserted with a sobering gaze. "Rest assured, my lady, I will protect you, no matter the cost."

"Keep up the good work, then," his lady replied with a sigh. "I can still sense something amiss with you, so I will contact you again once the skill cooldown is over. Sober up before then. That will be all."

With those words, the hologram vanished, leaving Joey alone with his thoughts. He closed his eyes, attempting to etch the image of his lady into his memory. When he reopened them, a man stood before him, his immaculate uniform outlining his well-defined physique.
