Chapter 231 The Golden Rose - S01E06
Her ease and skill were overwhelming.
It is the contempt of the strong for everything.
The words "frustration" and "annoyance" seem to be absent from the dictionary of truly strong people.
The emotional makeup of truly strong individuals seems to differ from that of ordinary people.
Because everything right now is meaningless to her, she's just doing what she wants, just like she was seven years ago.
Everything is new, interesting, and I am patient.
It felt like someone was mocking her. More than anger, she wanted to know how far the other person could go; it was like an experiment on human nature.
……
However, an extremely good temper may, on the other hand, be a form of contempt for everything.
Extreme rationality is madness.
Extreme self-control is arrogance.
She doesn't care, and she doesn't mind.
"..."
Faced with the sudden awkward atmosphere, ■■■ coughed twice and turned away.
She seemed to mumble something indistinctly; but even the broadcasting devil couldn't make out what she was saying.
In the silence, Alastor noticed the dragon girl's sudden change in hand gesture. She bypassed the wall of flesh and blood she had built, and then calmly walked towards the Lesser Imp's apartment building that had been burned down earlier.
Just as the broadcasting demon was wondering what kind of trouble the female demon was up to this time, a river of gold suddenly gushed out from between the earthen ruins!
A long river shimmering with metallic luster converged in the sky, like a swarm of snakes returning to their nest. Under the manipulation of [unclear], they first coalesced into a giant liquid gold sphere, then deconstructed and reassembled, ultimately dispersing.
The enormous amount of gold transformed into several gold coins in mid-air and rained down like a storm.
"Ring ring ring".
Frozen golden rain fell upon the stench of hell.
The sudden happiness, accompanied by countless greedy and shocked gazes, resounded brilliantly before the ruins.
“Victims of the apartment building, take this money and go live somewhere else.”
As if to break the silence, the person standing in front of Alastor suddenly shouted out in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.
So the clever demons who were the first to react rushed forward; most of them were just there to watch the show, and among them were sinners living in the ring of pride.
Their skills were clearly superior to those of the little devils...
But the moment they touched those things that didn't belong to them, the gold coins melted away.
For a moment, curses echoed through the crowd; but of course, there were also sinners who were blinded by evil and unwilling to accept their fate, and they set their sights on the little devil that could pick up the gold coins, but most of them would have their heads explode into sprays of blood the moment they touched the little devil...
Even so, some sinners, driven by greed and wishful thinking, continue to reach out in the rain of gold to touch the coins or to attack the little devils.
However, ■■■ simply stood there with her arms crossed, quietly watching everything unfold before her.
"Colvin committed suicide."
"He will never come back, because I have captured his soul."
"And after that, if I need him to tell me the information I want to know, he will be no different from a person in a vegetative state."
"He can no longer reincarnate."
The dragon girl admired the chaotic scene before her, her tone indifferent.
She glanced back at the sinner lord standing beside her, also watching the scene unfold, her words tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"
"His identity was exposed because of a packet of Death Dust that had entered the market."
"Death dust is the debris left behind in the human world when souls reincarnate. It can help cover up traces and render most detection magic ineffective."
"I don't really care about the deals and shady dealings they do..."
……
"Susu."
While Alastor was still in a daze, a bunch of golden roses suddenly appeared in front of him without any warning.
Just as the previous praise had described, the demon, who had never been treated like this by either demons or humans, was startled by the sudden influx of gold; his body involuntarily leaned back sharply, and his eyes widened.
The bouquet of golden roses that filled the entire field of vision, each petal lifelike; from the angle of curvature to the shape of the buds and leaves.
The golden roses were so fresh and full of life that they seemed to sprout into a large clump if placed on the ground.
...But what truly made Alastor's eyes widen was not that the bouquet of what appeared to be hundreds of roses was made of gold.
Rather, each flower in this bouquet represents a packaged...sinful soul.
"I know I shouldn't give the devil such an ordinary gift."
■■■With a nonchalant air, he stuffed the bouquet of flowers that would make all of Shanghai drool into the arms of the broadcasting devil, his tone and expression indifferent.
"It's not flirting, but this is something I specially saved for you."
She glanced meaningfully at the massive, bloody mound of corpses behind Alastor. "But what you did today pleases me. Up until today, you've done most things very well."
The dragon girl looked like she wanted to pat Alastor on the shoulder; but remembering that he didn't like physical contact, she gave up in the end.
After all, you've already forced the broadcasting demon to undergo numerous physical contacts today, and you're worried about his retaliation.
"Consider this bouquet a reward for you. Please continue to work hard for both of our careers in the future!"
To emphasize the meaning behind sending the flowers, you reiterated your true intentions to the foreign devil in front of you, using the tone of a former leader.
“I admit that it was wrong of me to let you face all the outside world’s gaze alone before; that was my oversight.”
Your brows are furrowed into a deep frown.
You had initially thought that Alastor's identity as the "Broadcasting Demon" would be enough to deter most sinners, but Alastor's greatest use to you is managing the company.
You need to use his exceptional abilities to polish your plans that are incompatible with hell, but it turns out... he really is an incredibly capable devil.
When Alastor's primary function is civilian, his additional role as a military officer becomes less important.
Especially when that nobody threatened Alastor with an angel weapon today, you probably felt pretty angry at the time.
You see, finding someone as clever as Alastor in Hell is incredibly difficult; therefore, you absolutely cannot allow his safety to be compromised in any way until now.
...Not even a single finger.
"It is indeed too heavy a burden for you, a demon, to bear all of this."
Looking at the stunned wild deer in front of you, you once again resisted the urge to pat the other's shoulder, and solemnly addressed the male demon whose face was almost completely buried by flowers in a confident tone.
"Those who try to ride on your head in the future will remember this scene today when they try to overstep their bounds."
