Chapter 993: Do You Even Know Your Own Worth?
Faced with Andrea's flirtatious smile—
Ling Zhan remained as calm as ever.
However, the few proud daughters of heaven behind him all furrowed their brows.
"I heard you two crossed paths a long time ago. Is that true or not?"
Now that Ling Zhan and Andrea were both present, a few generals couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked.
After all, no amount of rumors beat seeing and hearing the truth directly.
With both parties here, why not just ask outright?
Ling Zhan clearly couldn't be bothered to answer such questions.
But Andrea smiled and replied, "Of course it's true."
As soon as she said this—
The generals were all stunned.
Even the Demon-Slaying Legion members following behind were shocked.
F-For real?
He fought a world-class powerhouse while only in his twenties!?
And survived!?
It was true!
"Sigh, honestly, if I'd gone all out back then, I probably could've killed him."
"If I had done that, things today would be completely different."
"To be blunt, the Demon Arrival Organization and Ten Thousand Demons Cavern's plans—ninety-nine percent of them were wrecked by him."
"Without him, a lot of disasters would've happened that not even you generals could've salvaged."
Since she'd already defected, Andrea just laid the secrets bare.
The Demon Arrival Organization wasn't some amateur cult—there's a reason they'd survived this long.
They had infiltrated nations all over the world.
Their entire setup in the Dragon Kingdom was ruined by Ling Zhan.
This guy not only thwarted Andrea's plan to kidnap the prodigies during the Freshman Exchange Tournament—
He also later joined the Demon Hunt Plan.
He destroyed tons of the organization's operations.
And many of their carefully cultivated prodigies were brutally slain by Ling Zhan.
The Demon Arrival Organization's leader now hated Ling Zhan to the core.
But there had never been a good opportunity to act.
And now, just when they could finally make a move, Ling Zhan had grown into a world-class powerhouse who could even slay Demon Sovereigns.
Even the setup at Lemoris Fortress had been shattered by him.
This non-specialist was like the bane of the Demon Arrival Organization.
Wherever he went, he made them suffer.
As Andrea spoke—
The generals looked at Ling Zhan with completely changed eyes.
Of course…
So did the prodigies of the Demon-Slaying Legion.
They never expected Instructor Ling's past to be so epic—like a legend!
No wonder when Ling Zhan first arrived on the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, all those media outlets were gunning for him—turned out the Demon Arrival Organization had already marked him and was fuming!
"Stop changing the subject. Answer me—this holographic projection, how can you guarantee it's real?"
Ling Zhan wasn't affected by the gazes around him at all.
He still coldly stared at Andrea.
"I swear on my soul!"
"If this structural map contains any falsehoods, I'll burn my own source spirit body to ashes!"
Buzz!!
Without any hesitation, Andrea swore a soul oath.
A soul contract formed instantly.
Seeing this, the generals finally believed the map's authenticity.
"Also…"
"I request to join the battle."
"Since I carry sins, I need to collect some heads on the battlefield."
Andrea raised her pale jade arm.
In fact, she was the tallest person present—
A full three meters tall.
Basically a giantess.
But her devastating beauty and voluptuous figure hidden beneath her black dress made many men fantasize despite her height.
Unfortunately…
This stunning woman of the Golden Crow race had no eyes for anyone else—she kept her gaze locked on Ling Zhan, smiling the whole time.
"With the sins you carry, just a few heads won't be enough to balance the scales," Azure Dragon Meng Zhang said coolly.
Though Andrea hadn't committed atrocities like some of the other Demon Arrival beasts—
She had helped the organization carry out many operations.
She was once a high-ranking member.
Now wanting to redeem herself? A few kills weren't going to cut it.
"What if it's three Demon Sovereigns' heads?"
Andrea asked.
"Then that's acceptable."
Meng Zhang nodded.
A Demon Sovereign in the Ten Thousand Demons Cavern was equivalent to a world-class powerhouse among the allied forces.
If Andrea could take down three of them, her past crimes could be mostly forgiven.
Some might argue that past sins can't be redeemed—
After all, those who died because of her can't be brought back.
But with the current crisis—
One more world-class powerhouse meant better odds for the coalition.
And fewer casualties for their own troops.
Plus, Demon Sovereigns would be held in check.
So Meng Zhang supported it.
The other generals had no objections either.
"That leaves Andrea's assignment."
"Which legion do you want to join?"
Meng Zhang asked.
"The Demon-Slaying Legion." Andrea didn't choose her best friend's Eden Legion but instead picked Ling Zhan's.
Even Cathy was a bit surprised by this answer.
Ling Zhan frowned.
But Meng Zhang nodded. "Approved!"
"You're under Ling Zhan's command!"
Then—
Meng Zhang turned to Ling Zhan and smiled. "I know you're not thrilled, but the situation is tense. Of all the legions, only you can keep her in check. That's why I'm putting her with you—puts my mind at ease."
Bottom line—
Meng Zhang wanted Ling Zhan to monitor Andrea.
No one here was stupid.
You don't trust someone just because of a few words.
To handle Andrea, Meng Zhang's plan was simple: let the freak Ling Zhan keep her suppressed and under control.
If Andrea pulled anything shady, Ling Zhan would be more than capable of dealing with it.
Since Meng Zhang said all that, Ling Zhan had no choice but to nod.
And so Andrea cheerfully joined the Demon-Slaying Legion.
The members of the legion looked at the ever-smiling Golden Crow woman and felt immense pressure.
Still, a few perverts, seeing a three-meter-tall beauty walk in, actually had the guts to try and flirt with her.
However—
Andrea, who had been all smiles, turned ice-cold in an instant at their approach and spat a single word:
"Scram!!"
The clueless guys turned pale on the spot.
Drawing cold chuckles from many of the girls.
These dick-driven idiots!
Did they really think it'd be that easy to chat up a world-class powerhouse?
Just because she was smiling, they assumed she was approachable? Do they even know their own damn worth?
