The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

"If someone must make a sacrifice, then it's no big deal if I do it. Compared to those soldiers who lost their lives, what I lose is nothing significant."

After saying this, he pretended to exhale lightly, forcing a teasing smile on his face.

"There's really no difference, is there? I just shifted from a downtown funeral home to a suburban one, from facing a group of living dead people to facing a bunch of deceased folks... Ah, I'm not talking about you, you're special!"

His eyes were bright and resolute, shimmering with pure conviction and a hint of self-admiration, which made Luo Yan think of his younger self.

Not when he was studying at the Demon King Academy.

But even younger than that.

He used to think that way too.

For my ideals, I will burn myself.

Instead of for my ideals, please die first.

After a moment, Luo Yan revealed a faint smile and said in a gentle tone.

"You're right, your persistence is commendable."

Karisman was taken aback for a moment, then slightly lowered his head with a few hints of gratitude on his face.

"Salute to you, sir... Although you are human, thanks to you being here, we didn't fall completely."

"Saying that makes me embarrassed, I'm not as great as you think."

Luo Yan gently lifted his head, looking at him thoughtfully, and then suddenly said.

"Moreover, although you're right, the house behind you is actually a funeral home too, but it's after all a downtown funeral home, slightly more decent than the suburban one... If you want to stay, I have a proposal."

Karisman was stunned, staring blankly at Luo Yan, not understanding what he meant.

And then in the next second.

Luo Yan's words left him rooted to the spot.

"I just happened to be missing a secretary." Luo Yan began slowly, looking sincerely at him, "I need someone familiar with the operations of this building, capable of handling firsthand information, and reliable enough to help me sort out files, deal with various trivial matters, and... occasionally offer some useful advice."

He smiled slightly, speaking in a gentle tone, "Do you think you can handle it?"

Karisman stared at him blankly, forgetting to breathe for a moment.

He almost thought he had misheard.

He, a hapless guy about to be exiled to a suburban funeral home, was now being personally invited by Councilman Luo Yan to become his secretary?!

What kind of situation is this?!

Happiness came too suddenly for him to react.

However, out of a reflexive reaction from years of surviving within the system, he still instinctively seized the opportunity and nodded with all his might.

"I, I am willing! Sir... Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard to repay you!"

His voice was trembling, yet his tone was incredibly firm.

Just as Mr. Feistin said, those eyes full of longing and the glow on his cheeks were entirely a look ready to offer his heart.

Luo Yan smiled gently and extended his right hand, palm up.

"Welcome aboard."

"Tha-thank you!"

Karisman thanked continuously, accidentally dropping the wooden box he couldn't hold steady to the ground again.

As he held Luo Yan's hand, he blushed when trying to pick it up, but the latter gently pulled him up.

"Alright, your job now is to take me to see my office, someone else will handle those little things."

As soon as he finished speaking, a furious Horror Demon walked out from the Parliament Building's entrance and started cursing when seeing the scattered documents on the ground.

"Karisman! It seems I overestimated you when I told you to get lost to the funeral home, you should be copying files in the north Magma Pool — Luo, Lord Luo Yan?!"

Humans' physique is too slender compared to demons, just like elves compared to humans. So when he first came out, he completely ignored that standing before Karisman was someone whom even his boss's boss wouldn't dare offend.

The enraged Horror Demon instantly deflated like a balloon, visibly shrinking at an eye-popping speed.

Looking at the trembling Horror Demon, Luo Yan casually said.

"Your name."

"Lu, Lu Xiao..." The Horror Demon wore a face as if about to cry.

Being frightened by a human to such an extent, this was the only time in his life.

Luo Yan looked at him with a faint smile and said nonchalantly teasingly.

"You had a lot of nerve making the staff at the Parliament Building copy files at the funeral home."

"No, no, it wasn't like that... I..." Lu Xiao was sweating profusely, his lips trembling as he wanted to explain, but after stammering for a long time, he couldn't make his point clear, wanting to give Karisman a signal but didn't dare.

Karisman stood there bewildered, also looking a bit at a loss, not knowing how to react.

However, seeing his boss who had been giving him trouble show such a constipated expression, he felt immensely gratified inside, and couldn't help but secretly give Luo Yan a thumbs-up.

Luo Yan didn't look at him, just pointed to the files on the ground.

"Pick them up and deliver them to my office, hand them to my secretary, Mr. Karisman. Remember, gather them by hand, no magic allowed."

"Y-yes!"

The demons watching around whispered to each other, while Lu Xiao nodded with sweat all over, sighing in relief internally.

Praise Lord Demon King.

Praise Lord Demon God!

Respected Mr. Luo Yan eventually let him off without a slap to the face.
