Zu An clasped his fist and said, “You have misunderstood. We are here to request an audience with the Asura King. We beseech you to relay our request.”0

“The Asura King?” The faces of the asura guards darkened. “The Asura King has been assassinated. We are searching for the culprit right now. You two are suspicious. Who knows if you are related to the culprit?”1

Zu An was dumbstruck. He had shrugged off Lady Houtu’s warning that the Asuras were extremely belligerent, since he was on good terms with the future Asura royal family. With this connection, he'd thought that it would be easy for him to befriend them. Little had he expected the Asura King to be assassinated.0
