The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Demon World (2)

When Jung Minwoo arrived in the Demon World through the portal, the Demon Lords were gathered in one place, preparing to begin a meeting.

“Everyone, it’s good to see your faces after such a long time.”

Satan, seated at the head of the table, looked around at the faces of the Demon Lords.

“Now that we’ve seen each other’s faces, shall we end the meeting?”

He proposed ending the meeting without even starting it.

“But… we haven’t even begun the meeting yet…”

Baal frowned at this, saying it was too early to end the meeting.

“Is that so? Do we have anything to talk about?”

“…Shouldn’t we at least bring up the agenda items?”

Satan spoke with a genuinely bored expression, as if he found the whole thing tedious.

“Is there a need for that?”

“There is a need.”

“How troublesome.”

“It’s not troublesome.”

Satan raised an eyebrow at Baal’s retort.

“Talking back to the 1st ranked Demon Lord?”

He playfully reminded Baal of his rank.

“…”

When Baal couldn’t find anything to say in response and closed his mouth,

“I’m kidding, kidding.”

Thump, thump, thump―!

Satan burst into laughter and roughly patted Baal’s shoulder.

“…That hurts.”

“Anyway, if there are no Demon Lords with agenda items, let’s just end it right away. I don’t want to waste time unnecessarily. Are there any Demon Lords with agenda items?”

When there was no response to his question,

“Alright, let’s end it here.”

Satan smiled with satisfaction and tried to end the meeting, but

“I have an agenda item.”

T h is w as cop i e d f r o m k in g m t l . o r g
Unfortunately, ‘Andromalius’, the 72nd ranked Demon Lord, raised his hand, making it impossible to end the meeting.

“Sigh, go ahead.”

Satan, seemingly disappointed that the meeting couldn’t be concluded, sighed and gave Andromalius the right to speak.

“The Demon Lord-nim and Baal-nim are involved in what I’m about to propose, so I hope you will listen attentively.”

At the mention of the Demon Lord and Baal being involved in the proposal,

“Oh, me?”

Satan showed an intrigued expression, and

“…Hah, this is ridiculous.”

Baal expressed discomfort at being singled out.

“I’m curious, so tell me quickly.”

At Satan’s urging, Andromalius nodded and cautiously opened his mouth.

“I have heard that a guy named ‘Jung Minwoo’, a subordinate of the Demon Lord-nim, and a guy named ‘Katra’, a subordinate of Baal-nim, are both aiming for the Demon Lord’s throne.”

“Isn’t that right?”

“If it were any other demon challenging, I would have laughed it off, but if you two are involved, it’s a different story.”

“Huh? Why is it a different story?”

“Because if they aim for the Demon Lord’s throne with the backing of the two of you who hold the most powerful strength, my position will become uncertain.”

In other words, he was asking them to do something about it because if the two were involved, his position would be at risk.

“What kind of bullshit is that?”

T hi s w a s c o p i e d fr om k ingm t l . o rg
Satan, who had been listening with interest, hardened his expression and looked at Andromalius with a contemptuous gaze.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n gm t l . o rg

“A Demon Lord, scared of a 1st Rank demon and asking for help?”

The type of people Satan despised the most were those who desired power without the strength to back it up.

“Hah! You call yourself a Demon Lord and you’re not even ashamed to say something like that?”

Baal snorted and added his own comment.

“…”

Andromalius, rebuked by both of them, mumbled,

“…Baal-nim, this is different from what we agreed on, isn’t it?”

He looked at Baal and uttered a meaningful statement.

“…Didn’t you promise to not only secure my position but also elevate it if we cooperated?”

“Hmm.”

At this unexpected statement, Satan’s face, which had been contorted, relaxed, and a glimmer of interest appeared in his eyes.

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Baal glared at Andromalius and feigned ignorance, but

“If you’re going to act like that, wouldn’t the relationships with the other Demon Lords I’ve cooperated with be problematic? Are you okay with that?”

Andromalius, on the contrary, pressured Baal by mentioning other Demon Lords.

Crackle―

And some Demon Lords looked at Baal with menacing eyes.

“I can’t say anything about that ‘Jung Minwoo’ guy challenging the throne since he’s the Demon Lord-nim’s subordinate, but isn’t that ‘Katra’ guy different?”

“…”

“Give me a proper answer here.”

Satan, who had been listening to their conversation, thought,

‘So the situation is going like this?’

He was delighted with the way things were turning in his favor.

‘Although they spoke in a roundabout way, the cooperation they established must be for the purpose of pulling me down.’

‘Looks like Andromalius is really desperate?’

He hadn’t expected Andromalius to go so far as to pressure Baal by mentioning their cooperative relationship.

‘If things go well, their relationship could completely fall apart?’

If their relationship crumbled because of this, he could finally break free from the constraints he had been under.

‘Well, even though their constraints were at a child’s level.’

Even if their constraints were insignificant, it was true that they were annoying. If they disappeared, he could easily take control.

‘Now, Baal, how are you going to react?’

Just as Satan looked at Baal with anticipation in his eyes,

Bang―!

“What the hell are you talking about? Stop playing around.”

Baal slammed his fist on the table and emanated a menacing aura towards Andromalius.

T h i s w a s c op i e d fro m k i n gmtl . or g
‘Tsk tsk, you just made the situation worse.’

From Baal’s statement, Satan could predict that their relationship was completely shattered.

‘If you side with Andromalius, you’ll have to abandon Katra. I understand you want to get out of this situation, but…’

Excessive greed only brought disaster.

“…Did you say playing around?!”

As Satan expected, Andromalius contorted his face and showed a fierce reaction.

“Yes, I said playing around.”

“…Can you take responsibility for those words?”
T h i s w a s co p i e d f r o m k i n g mtl . o r g

“Responsibility? I don’t know what responsibility you’re talking about… but what’s certain is that if you keep playing word games here, I’ll hold you responsible.”

Baal emanated killing intent towards Andromalius, as if warning him that he wouldn’t tolerate any more talk.

“Ugh!”

Andromalius groaned and trembled at the intense killing intent, but

“Sigh, then there’s no other choice. I’ll have to join forces with other Demon Lords and kill Katra before he challenges the throne.”

He declared a drastic measure, showing that he wouldn’t back down.

“…If you do that, you won’t be able to avoid responsibility.”

“Will you even be able to hold me responsible?”

“…”

The reason Andromalius could take such a drastic measure was simple.

‘If he reveals the truth, he’ll be executed.’

The act of attempting to slander the Demon Lord was a serious crime. If Andromalius revealed their cooperative relationship, Baal wouldn’t be able to avoid execution, so he could push his luck.

In short, it meant that if Baal held him responsible, he would reveal the truth and get executed together.

“You think you can handle rebelling against me?”

“Aren’t you mistaken? You were the one who tried to get rid of me first, and now you’re talking about rebellion?”

“You must be crazy to want to die.”

As Baal couldn’t hold back anymore and stood up from his seat,
Thi s w a s c o p i e d fr om k i n gm t l . org

Thud―
T h i s wa s c op i e d f ro m k in gm t l. o rg

49 Demon Lords, including Andromalius, also stood up.

‘Wow, that’s quite a number.’

Satan had been trying to figure out the identities of the Demon Lords who were cooperating, but it was only a suspicion. This was the first time he could accurately grasp the number of people involved.

‘I need to remember them clearly.’

Satan looked at the Demon Lords who stood up and imprinted them in his mind. At that moment,

Rumble rumble rumble rumble―!

Th i s w as c o p i e d f ro m k i ng m t l . or g
The Demon Lords’ demonic energy clashed, and the meeting room began to shake violently.

It was a volatile situation.

‘I wish they would just fight and kill each other.’

Satan thought it wouldn’t be bad if they died here, but

‘Why are you trying to fight here? Fight when I’m not around.’

Mediating between Demon Lords was also part of the Demon Lord’s duties, so he had no choice but to stop them.

“Sigh.”

Satan sighed deeply and shouted, imbuing his voice with demonic energy.

“Stop.”

Thud―

The Demon Lords who had been standing couldn’t withstand the oppressive demonic energy and knelt on one knee.

“Don’t you know that fighting between Demon Lords is forbidden except for challenging the throne? If you fight, I’ll kill you all.”

A playful warning.

“””…Understood.”””

However, it was a statement made by the Demon Lord, so it couldn’t be taken lightly.

“The meeting will end here, so everyone, leave.”

As he issued an order to leave, the Demon Lords bowed to Satan and hurriedly left the meeting room.

‘They’re not children, how can they not control their emotions?’

Satan looked at the departing Demon Lords with a disdainful gaze for a moment.

‘But anyway, Minwoo will be very happy to hear about this.’

He thought Jung Minwoo would be quite pleased to know.

‘He’ll be able to prepare for his challenge to the throne without any interference for at least 100 years.’

If there were no obstacles, he could spread his wings and grow rapidly.

‘That guy will show even greater growth.’

Moreover, if ‘Katra’ were to die by some stroke of luck, his demonic energy would be transferred to Jung Minwoo.

‘That kid, he’s got it made with a good boss.’

Just as he was pondering when to deliver the information to Jung Minwoo,

Step, step, step.

Lucifer entered the meeting room and said,

“Demon Lord-nim, Jung Minwoo has requested an audience.”

He informed Satan that Jung Minwoo was currently in the Demon World.

‘Speak of the devil.’

At the perfect timing, Satan chuckled and said,

“That kid is really lucky.”

“Yes? What do you mean by lucky?”

Lucifer looked puzzled at the sudden remark.

“It’s nothing, just something.”

Satan waved his hand dismissively.

“Where is Minwoo?”

“I have him waiting in the Demon Lord-nim’s office.”

“Is that so? Let’s go see him right away.”

“I will lead the way.”

Then, Satan moved to the Demon Lord’s castle with Lucifer.

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo was,

‘It’s about time he arrived…’

Waiting for Satan in the Demon Lord’s office.

‘If he’s too late, I’ll have to consider visiting tomorrow.’

It was impolite to visit unannounced and meet at such a late hour, so he decided to wait a little longer and visit the next day if Satan didn’t show up.

About 30 minutes later,

Creak―

“Yo! I’m here.”

Satan entered the office with a bright smile.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l. o rg

“It’s been a while, Demon Lord-nim.”

Jung Minwoo bowed and greeted him.

“What do you mean ‘a while’, it’s only been a year.”

Satan chuckled as if he had heard a funny joke.

‘Ah, only a year has passed in the Demon World’s time?’

He knew that, but the difference in time flow was so significant that he momentarily got confused.

“First of all, thank you for meeting me despite my unannounced visit.”

Jung Minwoo expressed his gratitude to Satan before bringing up his business.

‘This is the proper etiquette.’

No matter how casually he interacted with Satan, no one would appreciate a late-night visit.

“What are you thanking me for? We’re close. Anyway, what brings you here?”

Satan sat down on the sofa and asked about the reason for his visit.

“I came to see your esteemed face, Demon Lord-nim.”

“Really? Then you’ve seen my face, so you can go now.”

At the gesture to leave since his business was done,

“Are you being cold to me?”

Jung Minwoo said with a playful smile.

“What do you mean cold? Don’t you have any other business?”

“As a secondary matter, I was wondering if you knew anything about the movements of the 72nd ranked Demon Lord, Katra, and Baal.”

“So that’s your real reason.”

Satan burst into laughter once again and said,

“As it happens, I had something to tell you about that. Sit on the sofa, this might take a while.”

He informed Jung Minwoo that he had something to tell him about it.

‘Something to tell me?’

Intrigued by Satan’s words, Jung Minwoo sat down on the sofa.
