Chapter 631: Chapter 557: Is it that thrilling?_3

Well, now that the numbers aren’t a problem, it’s better to avoid making a fuss. The guard quickly secured the Soul Currency and said to Parurier, "Fine then, don’t cause any more trouble. Keep moving!"

A minor disturbance was quickly settled, with only the unlucky Cambion left injured.

Parurier smoothly made her way to the front of the line and didn’t release the tail that bound the Little Demon until she had successfully passed through the checkpoints and entered Melina’s territory.

The Devils around her bustled about, each heading toward different areas of the territory.

Every Devil was in a hurry, looking to carve out their own piece of the world in this new city.

Yet, Parurier smiled at the Little Demon and said, "Just now, you must have thought I was going to kick you out, right?"

The Little Demon trembled as he said, "No, no, no... I dare not think so. Truly, I would never dare."

"Such a poor lie. Doubt would be the logical reaction. However, it’s alright, I forgive your suspicion of me. But now you should understand that I don’t speak of friendship lightly," Parurier whispered to the Little Demon. "Those who befriend me are sure to reap great benefits. This is my promise to you. Do you believe me, friend?"

The Little Demon was entirely at Parurier’s mercy. Facing this powerful and beautiful Succubus sister, how could he dare oppose her? He hastily said, "Yes, yes, definitely! We are the best of friends! I will believe your words unconditionally."

Parurier smiled and said, "Good, I like your attitude. But remember, you agreed to trust me unconditionally, and if you break that promise, I will be angry."

The Little Demon patted his chest and said, "I won’t, absolutely not! I swear I’ll listen to you one hundred percent; we can make a contract!"

But Parurier shook her head and said, "Friendship is about sincerity, not about tedious things like contracts. As long as you’re sincere, that’s all that matters. Now, where shall we go?"

The Little Demon sighed in relief and quickly suggested, "I’ve heard that there are jobs everywhere in this territory. Collecting Soul Fragments was the best job, keeping a good part for ourselves, but now that there are too many people, it’s a rush to turn in enough Soul Fragments on time, to be faster than others. How about we apply to join the City Defense Army? I’ve heard the pay is very good, and with your abilities, you can definitely..."

Before the Little Demon could finish, he saw Parurier take out another Soul Currency coin.

Parurier flipped the Soul Currency in the air just as before, seemingly to the same height, the speed of its spin nearly identical, as if practiced countless times.

"If it lands face up, we’ll join the City Defense Army. If it lands face down, we will seek out the Lord," Parurier declared.

Parurier caught the Soul Currency and spread her hand to see, this time the coin had landed face down.

"Excellent, Fate has pointed us in a direction," said Parurier.

"All right, let’s go... wait, seek out the Lord?"

The Little Demon was shocked by Parurier, thinking, isn’t that suicidal?

Though it was said that the lord of this place was approachable, it wasn’t somewhere they could just visit as outsiders. The city had recently captured many attempting to assassinate the Lord, with their heads drying on the city walls. Going there now would be like courting death!

And besides, what business would they have with the Lord? Right now, they were supposed to be registering their identities and taking out loans for the legendary Magic Mirror, perhaps becoming a "farmer" collecting Soul Fragments, joining the City Guard, or employing their special skills in other fortress departments.

The Lord wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters. Rushing to disturb would not only be dangerous but also futile.

Yet Parurier said, "How are you going to stand out if you don’t meet the Lord? Do you want to be like the other failures at the bottom? Only by meeting the Lord can you possibly rise to the top and become her right-hand man. One month... no, let’s say ten days. In ten days, I will make you a supervisor by the Lord’s side. How does that sound? Aren’t I a good friend?"

"You’re crazy!"

The Little Demon was about to refuse, but he saw the Succubus sister’s eyes turn a blood red.

Parurier asked emotionlessly, "You promised just now to listen to your friend, didn’t you? Do you want to make me angry?"

"I..."

The Little Demon felt an overwhelming pressure, knowing if he dared utter a word of refusal, he would likely be crushed on the spot.

"I agree, I’ll listen to everything you say. I’ll follow all your orders," he said.

Only then did Parurier look satisfied, remarking, "That’s better. Following me will not put you at a disadvantage. Relax, this is the guidance of the Goddess of Fate; it can’t be wrong."

The Little Demon thought, could this Succubus be insane?

How unlucky he was, to be targeted by a madwoman.

But with no other choice, he could only ask Parurier, "How are we going to use to get close to the Lord? We can’t even get through the door, right?"

Parurier replied, "Didn’t you see the notice on the city gate? They’re offering a reward for those names. Perfect, I know the name Salvador; I’ll tell you all about it. Pay close attention, I won’t help you if you mess up."

The Little Demon perked up his ears to listen carefully, but as Parurier mentioned the owner of the Second Layer of Hell, the Steel Duke, the Chief Clerk... each name felt like a meteor hammering his soul.

The Nine Layers of Hell, he thought, what kind of mess had he gotten into?

He was just a Little Demon freshly dragged out by a Hell Worm, was Hell always this thrilling?
