“Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence....
Fang Linjie turned and ran immediately. He didn't understand what was going on, but it was clear that he was surrounded and there was only one way to survive: to break out!
Fortunately, only the two humans who had just been consulting him were behind him. He quickly passed in front of them, his hood falling down to reveal a face full of demonic features.
Just as I was about to reach the doorknob, the door suddenly opened.
In that instant, Fang Linjie slammed on the brakes, staring blankly at the woman who had entered.
The word "Mom" stuck in his throat.
It was during that brief moment of hesitation that the demons who had caught up from behind pinned him down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" A demon saw Fang's mother and immediately stood up to greet her. The other demons also nodded repeatedly, holding Fang Linjie's hand tightly and not daring to let go.
"Good, good, you're all very energetic. This is..." Mother Fang looked at the demon they had captured.
Fang Linjie's mind was in complete chaos. What Queen? Had his soul already fallen into the abyss?
"Xiao Jie?" Fang's mother suddenly widened her eyes. Even though her son had changed like this, she still recognized him at a glance.
Fang Linjie raised his head blankly, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
But Fang's mother's words stunned the demons: "Your Majesty, do you know this fellow? He claims to be from the Order..."
"Xiao Jie!" Fang's mother hugged her son, and the demons released their grip and retreated.
Damn it, I've gotten myself into trouble.
Fang Linjie finally met his younger brother, but his brother was very busy. There was a stack of documents in front of him, and he was signing them.
Fang's mother told him about his recent events.
"Your brother has met some good devils."
Are there good demons?
"Then they said they had rules and regulations, and that it was a serious crime for demons to harass humans. They hoped your brother could help ease the tension between them and humans. Later, this house of the cult became their office." Fang's mother rambled on. "At first, everyone was scared, but when problems arose, they were really responsible in solving them. Your classmate was almost dead, and they were the ones who saved him."
"Your brother said he wanted to start some kind of company, and those devils are all willing to be his subordinates." Fang's mother was even a little proud. "At first I was a little worried, but now it seems that there are indeed good and bad devils."
Fang Linjie stared blankly at his younger brother. Fang Zhiyi looked somewhat unfamiliar at this moment because he was cursing at the strangely shaped possessed beings, cursing them so much that they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Mom, are you sure they joined "voluntarily"? These demons are trembling at the sight of Fang Zhiyi!
Fang Linjie was somewhat devastated. He had gone through so much trouble to save his brother from the devil, and now he was being told that Fang Zhiyi had become someone else's boss? Is that right?
The bad news is that he can't go back to his original form; the demon's contract is still in effect. The good news is that he still retains his human consciousness and has even joined his brother's company.
The worse news is that the company has an enormous number of rules and regulations, which every "devil" has to be familiar with and memorize.
Fang Linjie felt that this company was more terrifying than the abyss.
"No, don't demons sleep? They work twenty hours a day?"
"No need. Have you ever seen a demon sleeping?"
What does "deducting performance bonus" mean?
"These are the evaluation criteria, bro. You're an exception; you're one with connections."
"Fuck you...."
