The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

"It's just a nomination, not an appointment," a baron couldn't help but remark sourly.

Even humans can be elected to Hell's parliament now; Hell is really getting worse every year!

The man sitting beside him glanced at him and mocked,

"Are you a countryside demon fresh to the Demon City? For the Padric family, a nomination means a pass; otherwise, they wouldn't even bring it up."

The whispers continued till the end of the banquet.

These elegant fellows weren't drunk to the point of dancing on the tables, nor did anyone compose a poem for the Demon King—

Of course, love poems don't count.

In a Hell where strength reigns supreme, there's no legend more legendary than a silver body challenging a Purple Crystal strongman, especially when that gentleman is so handsome.

Though Miss Padric is undoubtedly a formidable competitor, as they say, only the strong are worth challenging. This is true for Baron Avister and naturally also for the extraordinarily competitive Miss Slime and Miss Tentacle.

The entire Demon City spoke of the Demon King's name all day long, whether at high society balls or small gatherings of countryside demons for a drink.

Thus, the tragic event at Seldo Port came to a close.

Although it wasn't Luo Yan's doing, nor did he have the ability to reach such an extent, many still credited him with the honor. One way or another, those lowly demons finally saw the justice they had hoped for, rather than having their honor and disgrace dismissed under the name of corruption. The nobles of Moduo also got the harmony and peace they longed for, as the purge of Zakro's forces finally came to an end and the mighty waves did not continue to surge.

However, as a trade-off, Hell might suffer considerable losses outside of justice.

After all, many unsettled scores were attributed to the deceased Zakro.

Perhaps the Demon God will administer fair punishment.

But such a thing can only be known when you meet the Demon God's lordship.

In any case, Zakro's crimes have been decided, and the military reform plan of Black Wind Castle will no longer face obstruction. Sebes' testimony became the last scythe for the Intelligence Department to harvest the remaining forces of Zakro, which also cleared out a batch of parasites living off the cheese... although another batch of parasites quickly took their place.

Luo Yan originally thought things wouldn't go so smoothly, especially since the meaningful gaze from the Intelligence Minister Karamos when he took Zakro's corpse made him feel like he was entangled in a huge conspiracy, possibly even involved in a contest between two ministers. However, the final outcome was beyond his expectations; Karamos seemed to be merely expressing an elder's concern for a junior, nothing more, and did not ask him to do anything further.

This was indeed somewhat unexpected for him.

Furthermore, by the end, he still couldn't understand why he felt the presence of the Madman from Zakro, but how the whole situation played out turned out to be the best result for him; he couldn't find any fault with it.

Firstly, the Dragon family changed its Family Head, and he successfully entered the parliament as the Baron of Black Wind Castle, while Zakro, who pursued him like a mad dog, died in his manor. Everyone believed he killed him, suspecting that he not only got support from some Demigod level power but also had the Demon God's appointment.

He originally thought Goliath would hold a grudge against him since he killed his beloved disciple, but in the end, he did not.

The Supreme Judge Rahim sent a letter of apology to his manor, acknowledging his delay and the heavy casualties on his estate and territory, and stated that this cost would ultimately be appropriately compensated by the finances of the Demon City.

Moreover, that Demigod level Witch Demon even voted in favor of his suitability for parliament membership, earning him six votes of support, to Feistin's surprise.

After all, in his original estimation, two votes in favor and four abstentions were the best possible outcome.

As it turned out, everyone became "very interested" in him.

...

Parliament Building.

Luo Yan, who had been lurking in Black Wind Castle for a long time, finally returned to the epicenter of power in the Demon City.

Standing on the granite-made steps, looking again at that magnificent gate and emblem, he felt an incomparable sense of relief, as if shedding a burden of ten thousand pounds, completely different from when he first came here.

Pausing at the entrance of the building, Luo Yan pondered for a moment and then said to Feistin beside him,

"There's something I don't know if I should say."

Feistin raised his eyebrows slightly and said kindly,

"Is it proposing to my daughter? Then I should prepare."

"Uh, it's about a more sensitive topic," skipping Feistin's playful jest, Luo Yan quickly glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention, and lowered his voice, "Actually... that day, I felt the scent of Chaos from Zakro—"

"Shh."

Feistin suddenly gestured for silence, indicating not to continue.

Luo Yan noticed a faint black aura surrounding them, dividing them from the outside world into two separate realms. Passersby seemed not to notice them yet didn't collide with them.

This... is the Domain again?

The Padric family's foundation is not inferior to the Colin family, presumably also possessing some unique methods, leaving him momentarily undecided.
