"Enough, are you being too arrogant, presuming to fathom the thoughts of the Demon God?"

Mia's eyes were slightly narrowed, like a sharp sword thrusting towards the angrily fuming Horror Demon, cutting off his presumptuous speech.

"If the Dragon family has any grievances, they can seek an explanation from the Demon God's cabinet and not come here to rant at us."

As she said this, she paused for a moment, slightly tilting up her chin.

"And frankly speaking, compared to the current Demon King, you are far from being on par."

"You!" Xino was furious, his eyes as large as bell clappers fixed on her, fists clenched tight.

Mia, however, didn't care at all and merely chuckled before shifting the topic.

"However, as a reasonable person, if you can convince the current Demon King of the Great Graveyard to agree to return… well, that's not impossible to arrange."

Grien glanced sideways, surprised, and revised his opinion of the Padric family once more.

Not a member of the cabinet yet able to have a say in the cabinet's matters…

The political resources this junior held must be more significant than he had imagined.

Right.

He needed to find a way to get on her good side.

Upon hearing her words, Xino's face lit up and he instinctively took a step forward.

"Really?"

Watching the youngest son of the Dragon family excitedly, Grien coughed lightly and took over the conversation.

"You should thank the generosity of the Padric family… Usually, such matters are impossible to accomplish."

Xino immediately said,

"Please let me use the teleportation circle! I will go right now!"

Standing there for so long, it was the first time this blockhead had used the word 'please.'

Yet, upon hearing his words, Mia's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Hey, what do you take the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Demon God for? Your own backyard?"

She remembered that Luo Yan's strength was only at the bronze level for now.

While she didn't think this guy had the guts to attack the Demon King, nobody could be sure if he would use some special methods.

Such as mind-based spells.

Faced with Mia's questioning, Xino was at a loss for words, hastily saying,

"I... didn't mean that!"

Grien subtly glanced at the Enchanting Demon, internally commenting, "You've got some nerve saying that."

However, he only dared to keep that comment to himself rather than offend anyone by saying it out loud.

Looking at the brainless Horror Demon, Mia found him increasingly dull.

Too low EQ.

Not too bad-looking, but with a poor mind… It hardly stirred any desire to conquer.

As for strength?

Silver-level strength was too common in Demon City, and not worth boasting about… On the other hand, despite his silver-level strength, his ambition was like that of a minnow, and in her view, he was even worse than front-line cannon fodder.

However, if he could bring Luo Yan back from the front line, that would be a rather good choice.

Recently, she had learned about the matter of Chaos from her father. The vivid description had left her so frightened she couldn't sleep all night…

"Forget about using the teleportation circle, and don't even think about walking there. If you dare to find him outside of Demon City, or send someone to harass him… heh, rebellion is a serious crime."

Listening to that not-at-all-joking tone, Xino's expression stiffened, and he immediately blurted out,

"I didn't mean that… and don't scare me! The Dragon family's loyalty to the Demon God is not subject to your scrutiny!"

"It's just a friendly reminder, I didn't say you were plotting a rebellion. Or do you have a guilty conscience?"

Observing Xino's fists harden, Mia chuckled, and then abruptly brought the conversation to an end.

"Anyway, this matter can only be discussed in Demon City, and only when I am present."

Xino angrily said,

"So if he never returns to Demon City, I'm supposed to just keep waiting indefinitely?"

"How could that be? Demon City is his home, and he'll be returning soon enough."

As she spoke, Mia turned around, blinking at a certain person trying to stay out of the matter.

"Deputy Director, the Demon King of the Great Graveyard is asking for leave to come back, you can approve that, right?"

Hearing that unfamiliar title, Grien sighed and said helplessly,

"You've already approved, so why bother asking me?"

Mia flashed a smile,

"Well, I still need your signature."

Not missing the opportunity, Grien quickly went down the slope, saying,

"Place the report on my desk tomorrow."

"Thanks, senior," Mia said with a grin.

Mia waved her hand, her tail swaying behind her contently as she left.

Xino glanced at her flying chariot's receding silhouette and then turned to Grien to perform a thankful noble gesture before he too left with heavy footsteps.

As he watched the departure of the two plagues, Grien finally breathed a sigh of relief, loosening his somewhat tight collar.

Having such a "listens but doesn't heed" subordinate truly was unfortunate.

But, thanks to her, this matter had been settled with dignity.

Honestly, although he did not have much hope for a certain junior, he still wished him well.

The Dragon family was not to be trifled with; unless Luo Yan never returned to Demon City, a confrontation was inevitable.

It was better to deal with any grievances now while they were still minor than to let them fester.

And with the Padric family mediating, there was no need to worry about major issues arising.

At that moment, Grien suddenly remembered Principal Avin's instructions, and he thought about whether to pass on a message.

Thinking this, he walked to the door and tossed a coin into the hands of the goblin carriage driver.
