Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 613 Self Preservation

Kaylen either told the angels where Mark would be coming from while hoping that Mark would be killed by their ambush, or Kaylen told someone else about the position even after Mark told her explicitly not to tell another soul about it.

Either option was bad enough to warrant death as far as Mark was concerned. Mark despised traitors and had no use for someone who was incapable of listening to even the most basic commands.

Kaylen squeezed her hand against the table and tried her best to keep her heart rate under control as she wondered what Mark was going to do.

Truthfully, Kaylen felt angry inside her heart! She was so stupid not to have looked into the information that the demon lord sent to her before sending it to the Angels. If she had checked what the demon lord told the other members of the council before going, then she would have figured out that the demon lord was trying to catch her!

Kaylen had to try to find a way out of this. This was the first time anyone would be suspicious of her, so she knew that she could get out of it if she lied well enough.@@@@

Kaylen had been selling information to the Angels for a long time now. She had made a deal with the Angels a long time ago to ensure that when the demons were finally defeated, she and her clan would be spared and allowed to continue working as a subsidiary of the trading division in what would be the new demon kingdom.

Kaylen was a demon, and she cared more about herself than anything else. It didn't matter if every single demon was killed by her actions, as long as she and the people that she cared about were fine; she didn't care about anything else.

It had been obvious for a long time now that demons did not stand a chance against the Angels. Kaylen had watched the demons slowly losing to the Angels for years now, and she knew that if she did not do something, then all of them would be eradicated!

Wasn't it better if Kaylen and the other members of her clan were spared rather than them all being eradicated?

Kaylen had just been doing what was best for them!

Kaylen tried her best to calm down before she spoke up calmly.

"My lord, I-I can explain. If you would just let me—Urk!"

Mark spoke up.

"Grunn."

The large orc that had first challenged Mark when he came to this world sat up straight as Mark called his name and responded in a hard tone.

"My Lord."

Mark gave the orc a narrowed stare as he watched his reaction to what he would say next very closely.

"You were close with Kaylen, weren't you? I want you to look me in the eye and tell me who else was working with her."

Mark opened his senses and waited for Grunn to say something. Mark's ability to sense the feelings of his subordinates only worked when they were thinking about or talking about a specific thing, so now that Mark had put Grunn on the spot like this, he knew that he would be able to sense if Gunn was lying with his next words.

Grunn stood up sharply and bowed to Mark.

"My lord, I know my words may not mean much, but I swear to you that I did not know anything about what Kaylen was planning. I was just as surprised as everyone else to realize that she had been selling information to the Angels."

He wasn't lying.
