Chapter 1143 – Emergency Report
By the time Lux returned to his mansion in the Mortal Realm, evening had already settled over the gardens.

He had spent considerably longer in Lilith's personal dimension than originally planned.
A rescue mission had somehow turned into a diplomatic agreement, an ancient alliance, and a very thorough exploration of the advantages of equal partnership.

Lux stopped walking.
