The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Caesar lowered his head and flipped through the documents. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, his voice carrying a clear hint of satisfaction.

"Not bad... It seems that young man not only has talent in tactical applications but also quite insightful in equipment improvement."

"I think so too," Atlant smiled and continued his report, "Moreover, the first batch of 'Hell's Flames' war vehicles has been deployed to the front line and received widespread acclaim from the officers. Especially in the battles at the Blood Red Wilderness, its powerful off-road capabilities and heavy firepower have caused significant losses to the enemy army... I'm sure you've already seen these reports."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Caesar's mouth slightly lifted.

He rarely praised others, but this time, his sharp eyes showed a noticeable hint of approval.

"Haha, he's indeed the young man I had my eyes on."

Casually saying this, he closed the document in his hand and leaned back in his chair, intertwining his fingers.

"Has he come up with any new plans lately?"

Atlant nodded with a smile, "Indeed, he has. You must have heard of the recent railway project at Black Wind Castle, Your Highness?"

Caesar did not speak but gestured for Atlant to continue.

The latter paused and continued speaking.

"Currently, Black Wind Castle is advancing the railway project that was previously postponed due to the plague incident. The goal is to connect the mines at Grey Stone Ridge and the densely populated western urban area of Demon City."

As Atlant spoke, his face revealed a genuine admiration.

"The goblin engineers at the Logistics Department are full of praise for this new freight method, especially after their visit to the Maze in Thunder County. I originally thought he was just a shrewd guy, but I didn't expect he had such profound insights in industry too, it's simply..."

"Simply unbelievable, isn't it?" Caesar laughed and completed the latter half of the sentence for him.

"Yes."

Atlant nodded seriously, and apart from admiration, his flickering pupils also carried a hint of complexity.

At some point, a rumor suddenly began circulating among the people of Demon City—claiming that the 'Demon King' born in the Temple was the Divine Chosen sent to the Lower Realm by the Demon God, and he came with a mission.

The Truth Department did not give any assessment of this, mainly because Councilman Luoyan's status was too sensitive, and without the Minister of Religion's comment, it wouldn't be appropriate for subordinates to say anything.

Atlant usually paid little attention to the news circulating in the streets, but this time he couldn't completely ignore it.

After all, that Silver Level Demon King actually managed to counterk*ll Elder Zakeruo, who had completely fallen out under Goliath Soren's evident protection...

The only explanation he could think of was divine intervention.

Caesar was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "… he's indeed more outstanding than I imagined."

What a pity.

The Padric family's little girl got lucky.

To be honest, he disliked the women from the Padric family; they were nothing like demons, distorting the charms of the enchanting demons in Demon City.

Enchanting demons playing pure love?

That's like vampires drinking milk, or horror demons eating steak, what difference does it make?

Of course, he also disliked that one from the Melusine family; the guy's gaze always made him feel uneasy.

Indeed—

The deviant tendencies in Hell have to be salvaged by the Colin family.

Caesar was very pleased with his precious granddaughter Vivian and wished he could skip over Roxey, that loser, and pass the throne directly to her.

Of course, at this moment, he had no idea what his precious granddaughter was doing.

Otherwise, whether this honored vampire prince would remain so optimistic is uncertain.

…

With the business discussion concluded, the atmosphere in the office gradually quieted down, while the flames in the fireplace crackled, illuminating Caesar Colin's profound face.

He closed the document, his fingers tapping the tabletop unconsciously, as if lost in thought.

After a moment, he suddenly sighed, and with a turn in his expression, spoke.

"Honestly, Zakeruo's death has made me introspective. I've been contemplating a lot these days."

Atlant was slightly taken aback and looked up at him, doubt showing in his eyes.

"Zakeruo?"

He didn't understand what Prince Colin wanted to express, so he quietly said nothing and waited for the latter to continue.

Caesar raised his index finger and rubbed his temple, a faint shade of solemnity in his authoritative voice.

"Since I broke through the Demigod Level bottleneck, there's been little in this world that can instill fear in me, yet recently I've discovered... I'm not as omnipotent as I once imagined."

Atlant quietly pondered his intent, and a relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Oh? A rising young man impressed you so deeply?"

"It's not about him," Caesar smiled faintly and continued, gazing indifferently at the crackling flames in the fireplace, "I just... saw something familiar in Zakeruo."

He despised Zakeruo.

When he was still young, the Dragon family was at its zenith, never losing out to the Colin family.

However, from the time he took over the Colin Duchy's power and emerged on the grand stage of Demon City, the Dragon family had already begun its decline until it fell into the lower ranks, nearly dropping out of the core power circle of Demon City.

Yet, despite his disdain, this didn't prevent him from examining his somewhat youthful self and the Colin family's future through the lens of this five-hundred-year-old mirror.

Zakeruo was a perfect reference.
