Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End Chapter 661: The Fallen Brand

Roel frowned as a blurred figure surfaced in his mind.

Lukas Ackermann—that was a name Roel had heard far too often.

From a long time ago, Emperor Lukas had viewed him as an eyesore and forbade Lilian to interact with him. It was only after Lilian moved to the eastern border and built up her own military force that she was finally freed from his influence.

At this critical turning point, which would determine humankind’s fate, Emperor Lukas once again emerged as Roel’s stumbling block, as he competed with him over Sia’s Scepter.

This edge could have been his close ties with the Savior, but Lukas couldn’t be a Fallen, as he couldn’t possibly have concealed the Fallens’ conspicuous aura when he was often in the limelight. This meant that he couldn’t capitalize on this edge.

By this train of thought, Lukas wouldn’t be able to absorb much of the power inside Sia’s Scepter. However, Paul had an unexpected answer to that issue.

“Lukas is indeed not a Fallen, but I suspect he has a Fallen Brand
