Isabelle's lips curved into a smile as she spun around in her office chair.
Now this space belonged to her!
After enjoying a mont of quiet solitude, she returned to her desk, took a deep breath, and then muttered an unfamiliar spell.
A quill pen floated out from her bag and gently landed on the manuscript paper in front of her.
Isabelle pondered for a long ti before writing a title on the manuscript in neat and elegant handwriting—
"Never Forget"
This would be a report that would shock the entire Demon City, about the Demon King, about the warrior, about the truth...
The miracle in sales was already unquestionable, and tomorrow's Abyss Tis would once again jaw-drop everyone.
Of course, she had to carefully write the article, avoiding the Parliant, avoiding the Cabinet, and even avoiding the frontline, focusing the conflict on the conspiracies like castles in the air, the burning yet useless emotions, and the General Sebes who couldn't possibly fight back from the frontlines.
As for the deeper layers of intrigue behind it, that wasn't sothing a small figure like her could partake in.
This was the suggestion of Lord Demon King.
Don't always think about making big news, first protect yourself, only living people deserve to talk about the future.
And then, it's the information she got from interviews.
As for the new column...
Isabelle pursed her lips and smiled, thinking for a mont, and wrote the na of the column in the corner of the manuscript paper—
"Figures."
This is a column about heroes, about legends, about the demons in Hell most worth recording.
She originally wanted to use the word "demon," but considering the ambiguity of the word, she replaced it with the relatively neutral "figures."
Figures aren't specific to humans, it can also specifically refer to influential demons or undead.
Isabelle leaned back in her chair lightly, with a hint of a satisfied smile on her lips.
She had won the bet, won the office, won her own column, and even had servants to command...
Thanks to what Lord Demon King bestowed upon her, her career was flourishing.
However, this was nothing compared to what the lowest demons in Demon City gained tonight.
They gained a Demon King who genuinely cared about them...
...
The Abyss Tis was published on schedule.
The first report of the figures column unsurprisingly caused a sensation in Demon City, elevating the prestige of the Thunder County Demon King among the citizens of Demon City to new heights.
In contrast, the Commander of the Seldo Port battle, General Sebes, was thrust into the lilight, and the discontent against him was brewing...
Luo Yan's struggle with the Dragon family entered a new phase, the increasingly intense confrontation already surfacing so undercurrents that were hidden beneath the surface.
Facing a situation with no retreat, Kamu went all out, utilizing without reservation the political resources that Elder Zakro opened to him.
Conversely, Luo Yan was not idle, either visiting the Temple to see his foster father and showcasing his approachable side to common demons in Demon City, thus harvesting so Power of Faith, or making high-profile appearances at Black Wind Castle, coordinating the production of the Magic Crystal Cannon Factory to lay the groundwork for his new armant plan.
This was part of his promise.
He would resolve the mobility issue of the Magic Crystal Cannons, turning the cumberso war machines into active forces on the battlefield with fighting power that rivals the Abyssal Beasts!
anwhile, aside from the Dragon Family and Luo Yan himself, who were embroiled in the struggle, the third-party forces in Demon City were also stirring...
Demon City, Ankein Estate.
This estate stood silently in the core area of Demon City, surrounded by a thick shroud of shadow mist, like an abyss devouring light and shadow. The Ankein Family, since the establishnt of Demon City, had been the most loyal devotees of the Demon God, also acting as his executors of will in the Mortal World.
And the current Family Head of the Ankein Family, not only possessed demigod-level power as a Shadow Demon, but was also the most significant Chief Minister among the six-mber Cabinet!
In Hell, the position of Chief Minister was akin to the Imperial Regent King, with a status even above the latter.
After all, Hell had no Emperor of the world above, and the lofty Demon God Bayele wouldn't set foot on the ground.
Of course, because the Cabinet's power is shared among six people, the actual power of the Chief Minister might not compare to the Imperial Regent King.
However, at this period, it didn't matter to anyone.
Whether power was held by six people or one, to ordinary demons, the Ankein Family was akin to gods!
At this mont, in the study of the estate, Asmon Ankein sat at an obsidian desk carved with Abyss Runes, his fingertips gently caressing a newspaper.
It was the latest issue of the Abyss Tis, with a headline titled "Never Forget" printed on the paper.
Below the title was Isabelle's signature, along with a ticulously drawn magic illustration by an artist—Luo Yan sitting in a tea house, his expression calm, eyes deep, as if he had everything under control. The mist rising from the teacup was much like his current fate, elusive to grasp.
Asmon squinted, his eyebrows arching with a hint of intrigue.
The Demon King of Thunder County had appeared in the newspaper before.
Ever since his dramatic turnaround at the hearing, all parties in Demon City have been closely monitoring his movents and the subsequent actions of the Dragon Family. Now, not only had he garnered reputation among frontline warriors and bottom-tier civilians, but he had also secured a position in the public discourse, turning the Dragon family's pieces into his own political resources.
