Chapter 816: Ren's Plan: Underworld Consequences          

"Although . . ." Ren's voice suddenly cut through the tension, causing the others to pause and turn back to him.

"I forgot to mention that my friend over there, Azazel, is the Demon Lord, and those guys behind him are his warlords."

"So, it's friends now?" Desira laughed a little, her tone playful. "I remember that you almost killed Lord Azazel before."

Azazel grinned, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes as he placed his hands at the back of his head. "Now, now, let bygones be bygones."

"We're already aware of that fact," Scar remarked, thanks to the [Monocle] he had used earlier to get Azazel and his group's information.

"And did you know that Azazel owes me one?" Ren added, a sly grin playing on his lips. 

The revelation hung in the air, leaving the others stunned as they processed the implications of Ren's connection with the Demon Lord and his warlords.
