Succubus Reporter: "Respected Demon Lord, I recall the Demon God's order was to spread fear among our enemies, but why did I hear that you bought an entire street in the heart of our enemy&...
Chapter 517 A worthy opponent brings joy, a talented general brings many stories.
Mia swore.
When she and her "dearest" have children in the future, and the glory of the Padrick family is carried on, she must add a line to the family motto—
Beware of vampires.
The vampires from the Colin family, in particular, are the least trustworthy!
Of course, except for dear Luo Yan.
Without the Embrace, one cannot be considered a member of the Corinthian bloodline. The bloodline of vampires is fundamentally different from that of humans, and he, having grown up in the temple, is as pure and innocent as a white flower!
It must be said that even though it has been some years since graduation, Mia still has a strong sense of sympathy for a certain human being who was once "weak and helpless".
Back in the Demon King Academy, she did indeed manipulate someone, just as Professor Lilith had demonstrated.
Regardless of whether it was a daydream or not, that's how it was in her own memory.
Vivian, who was perfectly justified in not getting any food, and Mia, who was equally clueless and also didn't get any, pecked at each other for a while, eventually ending with both of them breaking down in self-defense.
Vivian finally realized that even mosquitoes sucked more blood than she did, and that she, as a vampire, had utterly failed.
Mia also realized that having her home stolen by a vampire while she was a succubus was a disgrace to the Padridge family.
In particular, she once regarded her as her own sister and had no idea that this madwoman would become her adversary.
What a disgrace!
However, the Demon King, who was sitting to the side drinking tea, felt that this war was really unnecessary. Could you fight to a conclusion, or could you cut me to pieces with your swords?
Why don't we all sit down and make dumplings... uh, pies?
Luo Yan secretly rejoiced, thankfully it was Mia who came.
If it had been Eileen or Ophia who came, things would have been very difficult to handle today.
He hadn't yet figured out how to continue his story, and the two people, one brave and cheerful, the other exceptionally intelligent, were not easily fooled.
As for Karen... she's actually fine.
My dear saintess will probably be happily making dumplings with the two demons who have come from afar, and the atmosphere will be more harmonious than it is now.
What blasphemy? That's just something to fool outsiders. She's an extremely intelligent girl, and a different kind of intelligence than Miss Ophia's. She wouldn't spout such nonsense behind closed doors.
Unless someone makes her talk with great interest.
After a chaotic commotion, the Demon King's garden finally regained some of the tranquility that a respectable person should have. Taf, who had been watching with great interest from the second floor, sighed in disappointment. The younger generation was so weak and powerless that they didn't even start a fight, which really angered the dragon.
The three of them moved to the living room.
The fox-eared maid walked forward with light steps, placed a steaming cup of black tea on the tea table, and then nervously left under the naked gaze of someone who seemed to be the mistress of the house.
By Bayeri, and by the demon god himself, His Highness Colin is a man of great integrity and would never lay a hand on his servants.
This is also something that the demons find regrettable.
The "Jeffrey faction" is still too weak in the labyrinth; currently, the entire group is only roughly equivalent to half the level of Missy or Yussi.
However, it was precisely because of their weakness that Luo Yan felt very at ease.
Factions were never the problem; the problem was uncontrolled factions. The Demon King was a master of balance; his labyrinth was as orderly as the gardens of Colin Manor…
Of course, this refers to yesterday's garden.
The rich aroma of tea filled the air, which somewhat calmed the tense atmosphere in the living room and also relaxed Miss Mia, who had come from afar.
After tidying herself up in the restroom, she changed into a clean and presentable casual dress, concealing her restless heart-shaped tail and donning her elegant and noble lady-like mask once more.
Although she was suspicious about why Luo Yan's family had such well-fitting clothes, Luo Yan quickly brushed it off by saying that Lady Antony and her husband, Archduke Edward, would occasionally come to bother her.
When important guests visit, you can't expect them to bring their own pajamas.
Nobles of modest means would use old wardrobes to entertain guests, while wealthy nobles would keep wardrobes for their distinguished guests readily available in their homes.
For example, it's understandable that Padridge's estate always keeps Luo Yan's size on hand.
Although Mia didn't know that the clothes she was wearing weren't prepared for Princess Antony, but were actually based on the Saintess's measurements... even though the Saintess herself hadn't arrived yet.
The two were surprisingly evenly matched.
Mia took an elegant sip of the refreshing and tranquil Snow Bud Milk Tea, while giving a fierce glare to "Miss Colin" sitting to the side, who was pretending to be well-behaved.
In order to prevent the war from starting again, Luo Yan took the initiative to start talking.
"Speaking of which, you still haven't answered me. Is there something you want to discuss with this unexpected visit?"
Mia's expression was somewhat subtle.
She didn't really have anything to do, or rather, the matter could have been explained in the letter, so there was no need for her to make the trip in person, much less to go on a clandestine visit.
The reason she came was simply because she learned that Vivian had dropped out of school, and the vampire's "revealing his true colors" behavior had somewhat broken her defenses.
As for why Miss Padridge knew that Miss Colin had taken a leave of absence, it was because she kept an eye on the opening date of the Demon Academy and the teleportation array usage records of the Demon King's Administration Department.
That guy went and never came back, this is unacceptable!
How could the greedy Colin family allow the Padridge family to steal the spoils of the Padridge family?
Of course, Mia would never admit that she, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Padridge family, would go out of her way to do something as tasteless as "catching someone in the act of adultery."
"Of course... I have important business to attend to."
Mia put down her wavering teacup and transformed back into the impartial and efficient boss, as if the woman who had just screamed in the garden was merely a dream from last night.
"Actually, besides visiting you, there's another important thing I wanted to discuss with you. As you know, the Demon King Academy's graduation season is approaching, and a large number of outstanding junior students are facing the predicament of graduating and immediately becoming unemployed..."
"Tch... How ridiculous. Doesn't the Padridge family have any other excuses to use?" Vivian covered her bright red lips with her small hand, a sinister fake smile on her face, her provocative expression exactly the same as Taff's.
Will the second-generation demons of Demon King Academy lose their jobs?
She had never heard such a funny joke before!
Mia glared at her, but ultimately didn't bother arguing with the brat. She maintained her outward elegance and composure and continued speaking.
"Professor Lilith asked me to give you her regards. Also, Headmaster Evan Kruger asked me to inquire whether there are any vacancies in the Thundershire Labyrinth. The boys and girls of the Demon King Academy are eager to launch a counterattack on the surface, so please make sure to assign them the most dangerous positions... Of course, I'm just suggesting you take his advice with a grain of salt. You know, liches' minds are even more erratic than vampires', so just go through the motions."
Vivian was furious, her canine teeth gleaming dangerously, but remembering that she was pretending to be innocent, she could only swallow her saliva.
"This is a good thing."
Luo Yan put down his teacup, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "Thunder City is brimming with opportunities right now, and it's exactly the time when it needs people. As long as they're willing to come, I believe these young demons will definitely find a new direction in life here."
These words were exactly what Luo Yan wanted to hear.
As the influence of the Great Tomb in Thunder City grew day by day, he was indeed running out of capable people.
Although the players are hardworking and good at creating fun, most of them are only concerned with their own happiness, and there are too few who can share their burdens.
"Thank you very much then."
Mia smiled and continued in a pleasant voice.
"Actually, this is not only Principal Evan's idea, but also the suggestion of the Demon King Management Department and the own wishes of many junior students. Rather than becoming the Demon King themselves, they would rather come here to train. You may not know, but you are quite popular at your alma mater."
Luo Yan nodded with a smile.
"That's easy. I'll try my best to arrange some safe and fun jobs for my lovely juniors."
Seeing Luo Yan agree so readily, Mia's lips curled up slightly, and the hem of her skirt flickered with a hint of slyness.
Although what she said was true, she was also secretly calculating her own gains.
Since it's up to Lady Mia to decide who gets the internship, she'll have to do a thorough vetting. She can't just send anyone into the maze of Thunder County, can she?
Strength is one aspect, but the most crucial thing is to have a thorough understanding of the situation.
Not all demons at Demon King Academy are second-generation demons; many are "little Karami" who depend on powerful families.
Especially succubi!
The weak succubi were born with a blood-related awe of the Padrich family, and they wouldn't dare to steal Lady Mia's "prey" even if they had ten times the courage.
But for Vivian, a vampire, that would be a disaster.
Once this group of little succubi, subdued by the authority of the Padridge family, floods into the labyrinth of Thundershire, they will inevitably form a huge "Padridge faction," thereby squeezing out the weak Vivian herself and pushing the "Colin faction" into a corner!
This is called using quantity to dilute the opponent!
Mia felt she was going to be extremely worried about how to control this arrogant vampire.
At this moment, Vivian was unaware of the seriousness of the problem and was just frowning and talking to herself.
"Graduates of the Demon King Academy? What good would those good-for-nothings do here?"
It must be said that the young master of the Colin family has a very accurate intuition.
The second-generation demon is a goblin "special attacker," and his ability to deal with goblins is top-notch, but he doesn't actually have much skill in dealing with humans.
They can only fight the Os Empire on equal footing by riding on the necks of goblins; once they are separated, they are each a worm.
But if the second brother doesn't laugh at the eldest brother, aren't humans the same?
Even today, the knights of the empire ride on the necks of serfs to be able to fight on equal terms with the demons riding on the heads of goblins.
Once the two are separated... they won't immediately turn into insects, but they will definitely collude with demons.
For example, the decadent citizens of Thunder City.
If anyone were to tell them something stupid like conquering hell, they'd probably just laugh and lead that country bumpkin into the maze.
Dude, this way please!
Luo Yan disagreed with Vivian's concerns, a deep, unfathomable smile playing on his lips.
"Vivian, do you remember what I told you? There are no useless people in this world, only people who don't know how to use them."
For example, it would be a waste of talent to have succubi stand in mazes, but if you turn it into an idol, wouldn't that be a perfect fit for their profession?
Don't know how to do it?
Players may not be good at much else, but they are good at this!
As for the terror demons... let them become jailers. Human prisons can also collect fear energy, as long as the human jailers are sidelined.
Not only will they not affect the security of Thunder City, but they can also greatly improve the security rate. Anyone who has experienced Thunder City prison once will never want to go in again.
The Demon King's thinking is very flexible; he can even assign the Balrog to the steel mill and the kitchen.
Of course, the demons of hell are not suited for open activity. He needs to sign an agreement with all the interns, just like the one he signed with the players.
All demons must conceal their identities and act in human form.
The cemetery will only provide them with toilet paper, not wipe their butts. If they cause trouble, they'll have to explain it to the Holy Light Stick themselves.
Prince Colin will personally intervene!
Vivian scratched her head. Although she couldn't understand what use those good-for-nothings were, she still instinctively believed that her brother would be able to handle things properly.
I'm not going to say anything more, I'll just follow along and learn.
Vivian, who seems mischievous, is actually very serious about her studies. In order to one day be able to successfully launch a sneak attack, she diligently writes down what she has learned in her little notebook.
for example--
We can send some vampires from the "True Principality of Colin" to the labyrinth in Thunder County; his brother knows how to use them anyway.
At this moment, Mia had no idea that Vivian, for some absurd reason, had somehow caught up with her chess moves and was now playing against her, finding herself at a worthy opponent.
The “Padridge faction” and the “Orthodox Colin faction” in the Thundershire Labyrinth are destined for a bloody battle in the distant future.
However, none of this has anything to do with the two people who started it all.
After finalizing the internship arrangements, Mia's mood improved considerably, and she immediately raised the second issue.
"Ahem! There's a second thing, which is actually good news. After the Demon King's Management Division's assessment, all the indicators for the Thunder County Maze have met the standards for being on the right track. According to the laws of Hell, you can resume paying tribute to the Demon Capital!"
Luo Yan's smile brightened even more when the word "tribute" was mentioned.
In most people's minds, paying tribute often means unilateral exploitation and is a sign of dominance.
However, Councilor Luo Yan, who was well-versed in the rules of Hell, knew very well that this was actually a sure-fire deal, and could even be described as the Demon God Temple "bribing" the Demon King's forces.
The reason is simple: the power of the Demon City over the various forces in Hell is far less than the power of the Holy City over the human nations.
On the one hand, the complexity of the underground environment increased communication costs; on the other hand, there were simply too many races in Hell.
There is only one way to make the hell dwarves of Calamity Castle submit to the Demon City: have them offer some rat tails as tribute, and then the Demon Temple will return a sum of gold to them.
With this, Hell gained prestige, the Hell Dwarves of the Calamity Fortress gained gold, and both the Hell Dwarves and the Goblins were able to work more happily.
The tributes from the hell dwarves are usually parts from ratmen or dwarves, while the tributes from the labyrinth are usually parts from adventurers.
This doesn't require the Demon King to pay out of his own pocket; he can simply pack up the "loot" left behind by the adventurers who died in the labyrinth and ship it back.
Those tattered armors, broken swords, bloodstained robes, and even the unused potion bottles in the adventurers' pockets might be considered trash by the players, but in the eyes of the Demon Temple, they are treasures that demonstrate the abundant martial virtue of the demon race to the entire hell.
Occasionally, the Demon God Temple would exhibit these exhibits and recognize the most outstanding Demon Kings, bestowing upon them honorary titles that did not include territories.
"No problem, it is my duty as the Demon King, and also my honor."
Luo Yan agreed as readily as ever.
This is like a windfall. Although he is not short of money, who would complain about having too much money in their coffers?
Besides, Demon King is just one of his many titles. Since he enjoys the power, it's only right that he goes through the motions in Shanghai.
However, there is a small technical problem here.
The Thunder County Maze is now so infamous that adventurers in the vicinity are terrified and dare not even step into it.
There are skilled adventurers, but the labyrinth doesn't make a big fuss about it outside. No nobles or groups of citizens offer bounties, and they wouldn't risk doing those E or F-level small tasks for no reason... The risk and reward are completely disproportionate.
This led to an awkward situation—adventurers in the labyrinth hesitated to venture forward, and even started trading with the demons in the labyrinth, so naturally no "loot" of scrap metal was produced.
Of course, this was no challenge for His Highness, who was well-versed in human nature.
Luo Yan only needed to think for a moment before he had an idea.
What can't the factories in Thunder City produce?
Since we can't find any wild adventurer equipment in the labyrinth, we'll just have to order it from Princess Eileen's new industrial area.
Not only can you place orders, but you can also buy ready-made equipment.
Thunder City is currently undergoing industrial transformation, and many adventurers have switched to other jobs, leaving their equipment to gather dust at home.
If he sets up a collection point in the city and buys up those old swords, shields and tattered robes at scrap metal prices, he will definitely be able to collect mountains of "loot".
Then he only needs to take the contents of his left pocket into his right pocket to exchange them for a hefty amount of gold or magic crystals from Shanghai.
Both are good things!
Looking at her smiling older brother, the obedient and sensible Vivian couldn't help but show an infatuated expression, her scarlet eyes sparkling with a morbid ecstasy.
As expected of the Demon King, his smile is so wicked!
I need to learn this too!
The esteemed Councilor Luo Yan will never know what Vivian actually wrote in her little notebook, mainly because he is too polite and never reads other people's diaries.
Having finished discussing worldly matters, the conversation quickly turned to the Demon King's core interest—the power of fear collected by the labyrinth crystals.
In reality, that thing is the power of faith.
Although Luo Yan no longer needs to rely on that meager income, he still needs some to expand the maze and maintain its facilities.
In particular, he has recently been figuring out how to turn the maze into one of the "spectacles" of Thunder County, complete the integration of the title of Demon King of Thunder County, and completely solve the fatal flaw that the entire maze would explode if the core of the maze were destroyed.
Then there will be no more faith crystals to hand over, and the maze in Thundershire will become something like the clock tower in Thunder City.
"...According to the rules of Hell, after deducting the losses from the daily maintenance and expansion of the labyrinth, all fully charged faith crystals must be handed over to the Demon God Temple."
Luo Yan looked at Mia thoughtfully and continued.
"Is there any way to keep those crystals?"
Upon hearing this, Mia's lips curled into a charming smile, feeling smug that Luo Yan had finally shown interest in her.
She gently brushed a strand of pink hair behind her ear, crossed her legs, and displayed the composure of a young lady from the Padridge family.
"You can rest assured about that. Although the Demon King Management Division nominally oversees labyrinths across the country, it is ultimately just a secondary unit under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For the Padrich family, the threshold for that department is not much higher than that for my family's backyard."
"So is there a way?"
"certainly!"
Mia smiled confidently, but the "bait" she had just hooked was thrown out by an inexperienced angler who mistook it for groundbait.
"I'll just talk to the director. As long as the Demon King Management Division issues a report stating that the powerful Thunder County Labyrinth is still under development and needs to preserve its strength to deal with human invasion, the production of Faith Crystals can naturally be legitimately retained as 'construction losses,' which is not difficult."
Faith Crystals are strategic resources, and other Demon Kings are naturally trying to intercept them.
However, they have to bribe many levels of the devils, unlike the Padridge family's daughter, who can arrange everything in one go with just a word.
Look at this, dear Luo Yan.
Weak and helpless humans can hardly move an inch in Shanghai. It would be better to hurry up and join the Padridge family.
The tail beneath her skirt swayed gently, and Mia once again fell into that unrealistic fantasy. The filter of her student days was so strong that she was completely unaware that someone was no longer the weak and helpless human she once was.
However, looking at the kind-hearted Mia, Luo Yan still showed a warm smile and said sincerely.
"Thank you very much."
He knew Mia was insecure, so he readily accepted her kindness. Appropriately accepting a favor or asking for a small, harmless favor is a social tactic of strategic retreat.
Mia was thrilled, but one of her real family members was not happy, his jealous canine teeth rubbing back and forth under his lips.
"whispering sound."
Vivian finally couldn't hold back any longer, crossing her arms and her scarlet eyes filled with disdain for "private deals".
Or rather, hostility toward a specific individual.
"They dare to flaunt such a trivial matter in front of the Colin family. The Padridge family is always so slow and indecisive."
As he spoke, this little tyrant who ran rampant in the Demon King Academy raised his chin, revealing an arrogant expression that said, "I could do it too."
This isn't just her bragging; she really can get things done.
All you need to do is find any henchman to find out the family tree of the Demon King's Director of Management, then pick a demon child of similar age and beat them into submission with one punch.
Anyway, even if the other party goes to her grandfather to complain, the other party has to come to her door with gifts, and bring two boxes of her favorite Minotaur blood, while smiling and praising her for the good beating, and thanking her in her heart for giving her the opportunity to reach the emperor.
Demon King Management Division?
Where did the cookies from the cookie tin come from?
Vivian knew perfectly well that the Minister of War was the younger brother of her grandfather, the Minister of War, Caesar Collin!
She's not really stupid!
Luo Yan lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and offered no comment.
Solving problems with violence is a tradition of the Colin family, which is why the Colin family, which produces many eccentric individuals, can occupy a place in the cabinet in the dog-eat-dog world, while the more aristocratic "legendary lover king" Roxie Colin is disliked.
However, he never comments on the internal affairs of his allies, just as he never talks to the fallen demons about the Demon King's own problems.
Mia's smile froze on her face, her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she still maintained the elegant demeanor of a "mature woman" and didn't bother arguing with this kid who had just grown his hair.
calm……
Let's put up with this guy for now!
Once the Padridge faction has gained absolute dominance in the labyrinth, she will teach this savage vampire what civilized bullying is all about.
no--
The straightforward succubus grew angrier the more she thought about it, her chest heaving violently. In the end, she couldn't hold back and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
“Miss Colin, this is how adults do things. I think... a child like you who hasn’t even grown up yet wouldn’t understand.”
"Huh? Who are you saying hasn't grown up yet?!"
Vivian instantly bristled and glared back defiantly.
"You... cook-woman succubus!"
This time, it was Mia who was furious. Her whole face turned pink, her lips trembled, and her heart-shaped pupils flashed with murderous intent.
"You, you, you're going too far! I'm not you, I... I... it was bound to happen sooner or later!!"
Luo Yan: "...?"
"Kukuku, you guessed it! Today, I'm not bullying anyone but you! The Padrich family's succubus cook, nya nya nya!"
Seeing that the other party was provoked and entered her comfort zone, Vivian stuck out her tongue triumphantly, hooked her index finger around the corner of her mouth and made a face, then jumped onto the sofa and started dancing what was probably the "Lizard Man War Dance" taught by Taff.
You disagree?
Why don't you go out and practice?
Even a child who can unleash a flying kick on a three-year-old will not hold back against a Gold-level powerhouse.
Kukuku, wait until she tears this dress off, then let's see what this vixen can wear!
A sinister grin spread across Vivian's face as she searched through every wardrobe in the main building of the manor; clothes of this size were quite rare.
Of course, being as clever as she is, she wouldn't be the first to make a move.
She was absolutely confident that as long as she didn't strike first, her brother would not blame her for "self-defense"!
Seeing that the living room was about to turn into a duel arena, Luo Yan sighed and finally made his move.
He raised his index finger and pointed it into the air, and a layer of transparent ripples spread out from his fingertip, rippling throughout the entire space.
No one noticed his movements.
Drawn by magic, a heavy, hardcover notebook silently floated up from the table, then traced an elegant arc in the air before gently tapping Vivian on the head.
He controlled his strength well, neither too lightly nor letting someone mistake it for a reward.
"Thump."
"Waaah—"
The little vampire, who was baring its teeth and claws just a second ago, let out a strange, mournful cry and quickly crouched down, covering its head with its hands.
She looked at her respected elder brother in disbelief, wondering why she had been hit on the head even though she hadn't struck him first.
However, when those deep purple eyes looked over, Vivian immediately shuddered, hurriedly lowered her eyes, took off her little leather shoes, and knelt down on the sofa.
"I...I was wrong..."
The whole process was smooth and seamless.
Looking at Vivian, who was as docile as a kitten, Mia's eyebrows shot up, and she let out a smug "smile."
"Heh heh heh... Is this the strength of the Colin family brat?"
"Oh, oh, still glaring at me? Weren't you pretty capable, you lowly vampire? Why aren't you showing off anymore? Hmm?"
"Where's the song you just composed? That 'Chef' thing... keep singing! Weren't you singing it so enthusiastically? I haven't had enough yet!"
Enduring the unbridled "humiliation," Vivian's shoulders trembled slightly, and her lips moved softly, but in the end, she swallowed back the words "cook girl succubus," suppressing the momentary pleasure of speaking her mind.
Seeing Vivian completely submissive, Mia's smile widened, almost reaching her ears.
However, she soon stopped laughing.
Wait a moment--
Isn't this guy a little too compliant?
Seeing Vivian's eyelashes trembling slightly, her head bowed like a cat that had done something wrong, Mia felt a sudden alarm bell ring in her heart that an enemy attack was imminent.
She was also a second-generation demon, and although she didn't go to the same school as Vivian, she was no stranger to the "infamous" reputation of the Colin family's young lady.
This woman's infamy is known to everyone in Shanghai. People older than her dare not bully her, and no one of her caliber can stand up to her.
Yet this guy, whom no one could control, actually showed such a meek and submissive expression, kneeling on the sofa with his knees together.
Mia's heart-shaped pupils trembled violently as she stiffly turned her neck to look at Luo Yan, who was engrossed in drinking tea.
"What...did you do?"
To be honest, the Demon King, who had been hiding behind the teacup, was almost out of tea, and the tea leaves floating on the surface of the water trembled slightly.
"I didn't actually do anything... Can you believe me?"
That's the truth.
Punishing this guy would only make the wand too hot to handle, so Luo Yan didn't really punish Vivian too severely.
for example--
Punishments like binding adventurers hand and foot like the little devils of Nightmare Land, suspending them by one leg in an empty cave with only one big toe touching the ground, were written in the Demon King's report, but that was clearly something he couldn't do to his own people.
However, Mia neither nodded nor shook her head at the Demon King's rare honest words; she simply turned and stared blankly at Vivian.
Vivian's eyelashes trembled as if she had been electrocuted, seemingly recalling the fear of being randomly checked on her homework.
She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was truly terrified of the Demon King's spot checks.
The living room was eerily quiet.
Luo Yan hoped that Mia would say something so he could ease the tension, but she remained silent, radiating an unsettling aura like magma about to erupt.
"...Luo Yan."
"I am here."
"...I've made up my mind."
"...?"
Ignoring the slight bewilderment on that handsome and elegant face, Mia stared at the figure who was pretending to be weak with his head in his hands, her fists cracking.
I forgot the beginning, I forgot the end, but in short, this is clearly not Luo Yan's problem, it's really the insidious and cunning vampires of the Colin family!
The gentle and humble Padridge family was too gentle; they were robbed by a brat. This will never happen again!
In the name of Bayeri, Miss Padridge will show her true skills and thoroughly humiliate this guy she once ignored!
In short—
Mia silently made up her mind that she could not allow a vampire and her "prey" to share a room; the instinct to hunt would tempt her like a poison.
Something has to be done.
For hell, for the Colin family, and even more so for the Padridge family!
Mia, the commissioner of the Demon King Management Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, must conduct a thorough investigation into the increasingly dire situation in Thunder County!
