The guards had already recognized Max, but the fact that he was with a demon made them frown.
When they saw him rush in alone, they wanted to stop him but hesitated. He was City Lord's guest, and even though he was with a demon, he didn't seem to be under his control.
"Let's just inform Lord Ryan and Lord Raku about it." Eventually, one of them said and decided not to stop him. Others nodded in agreement.
Swoosh!
By the time they came to an agreement, Max had rushed in and disappeared from their sight.
Left there standing alone, Ashroth awkwardly looked at the guards staring at him with caution in their eyes.
"Um, can I also go in?" He asked in human language, innocently pointing at himself.
"Heh! You must be dreaming, demon." The head guard sneered. "You should be grateful you came with Sir Max; otherwise, we would have already killed you. Now, shut up and stand aside."
