Chapter 630: Chapter 557: Is it that thrilling?_2

Parurier’s tail coiled around, pulling the tiny inferior demon behind her to her feet, and she touched his head affectionately saying, "I didn’t cut in line, this is my friend, I had him hold my place in advance. You only asked us to queue, not that we couldn’t have others hold a place..." Parurier turned to the little demon and said, "Right, my dear friend?"

The little demon opened his mouth, stammering, "I... this..."

Seeing this, the devil behind them roared even louder.

"Idiot, enchanted by a succubus, huh?"

"If you don’t kick her out, I’ll devour you alive!"

"Just kick them both out, get lost together!"

...

The little inferior demon, terrified by the surging crowd, trembled violently. Parurier’s tail instantly coiled even tighter, pulling him directly in front of her and saying, "You’d better think carefully, if you nod now, I am your friend, but if you shake your head and say ’no’, do you think the devils behind you will thank you?"

Hearing this, the little demon finally stopped hesitating and loudly said, "Yes, we are friends, I came to hold her place."

Upon these words, the devils behind instantly boiled over.

Many hot-tempered devils began shoving their way forward, as if saying if someone else cuts, they might as well do the same.

Cambion, the guard in charge of maintaining order, immediately frowned upon seeing this.

Whether it was holding a place or cutting in line, they didn’t care—it was just a bunch of beggars from the wilderness, whose life or death mattered little to them, but they couldn’t let them start a riot, or they would be punished.

Suddenly, a guard raised a Magic Mirror high, and a blazing light burst from the mirror.

It was just a simple Flash Technique, lacking any lethal power, but it was a signal; if others continued to make trouble, it wouldn’t be just a flash next time, the guards would directly summon the fortress’s Defensive Magic.

This territory possessed a high-level Binding Magic Circle, under which even time could be temporarily halted, unstoppable by anyone. But employing this measure meant a massacre was imminent.

The rioting devils were immediately deterred, especially since numerous blood-soaked heads were still hung on the city walls, all devils that had been killed for breaking rules in recent days.

Seeing order restored, those guards then surrounded Parurier again, demanding, "Get out now, or else I’ll kill you for disturbing the peace!"

Parurier, with a look of grievance on her face, said, "I told you it’s holding a place, I haven’t broken any rules. Aren’t we devils supposed to value contracts the most? I heard the Lord of this district is very rule-abiding, so I came from the Sixth Level of Hell to seek refuge."

The guard impatiently said, "If everyone holds places, do we still need to queue? One more person comes in, one more has to wait. If everyone holds places, what’s the point of queuing!"

Parurier, as if struck by a sudden realization, said, "So, as long as the number of people in line stays the same, there’s no issue, right?"

The guard blinked at her lovely, stunning face, wondering what the succubus meant with her words.

Parurier then turned to the little demon and said, "My dear friend, you don’t want me to be kicked out, do you? After all, you held this place for me."

The little demon hesitated for a moment, about to explain, but was suddenly silenced by Parurier’s tail covering his mouth.

Now everyone understood, the succubus had directly seized someone else’s place. That little demon was indeed unlucky—devoid of real power, utterly powerless against the succubus’s Charm, he was likely to obediently give up his spot the next second.

As long as no violence was involved, the guards would most likely turn a blind eye.

The guards indeed thought so; they weren’t some fiercely loyal Death Soldiers, close to enough was good enough.

They didn’t even give the little demon a second glance, but found the succubus pretty interesting—beautiful, nice figure, and seemingly quite entertaining. Once she entered the city, maybe during their shift change, they might even go "take care" of her.

Just when everyone thought the little demon was about to be forced out of the queue, Parurier suddenly pulled out a Soul Currency coin, asking the little demon, "Heads or tails?"

With a flick of her finger, the Soul Currency spun hundreds of turns before landing in her palm.

The little demon felt his mouth freed, initially wanted to call to the guards for help, but under Parurier’s gaze, unusually blurted out, "Heads!"

Parurier opened her palm, the Soul Currency facing up was heads, the wailing face on it unusually clear.

"Lucky," Parurier praised, then she turned to the Cambion in front of her and said, "Handsome young man, you see my friend and I urgently need a spot, how about you help me?"

The Cambion, who had been enjoying the drama, had not expected the succubus to suddenly pin the issue on him. He was about to curse her out, but suddenly a fragrant scent washed over him, and his self-awareness completely dissipated, turning into a drooling idiot.

As per Parurier’s command, the Cambion walked out of the line like a obedient dog.

Parurier slipped the Soul Currency coin into the guard’s pocket and asked, "The numbers are fine now, right?"

The guard, witnessing this scene, was also somewhat shocked by the succubus’s maneuvers: her tactics were formidable, and they might have affected him if employed against him.

Perhaps summoning the Sealing Magic Array could resolve her, but why take the risk?
