The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 222

Chapter 222: Secret (1)

In the past, when Jung Minwoo was at the training center.

“I really don’t like those bastards whispering behind my back.”

Satan was feeling displeased with the Demon Lords, centering around Baal, plotting amongst themselves.

“Those bastards would die in one hit if we fought, I don’t understand what makes them so cocky.”

He wanted to go to them right now and grant them the peace of death as a price for trying to scheme against him.

“It’s a shame I can’t do that.”

Unfortunately, he lacked a justifiable reason to kill them.

“But I can’t just sit back and do nothing.”

For now, it was just a cute level of plotting, but he didn’t know when it might tighten around his neck.

“Complacency is akin to death.”

Satan thought he should build his own forces separately.

“But the remaining ones are just leftovers, I don’t like them.”

Out of the 72 Demon Lords, not a single one was to his liking.

T h is w a s c o pied f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Should I just make all my subordinates, including Lucifer, Demon Lords?”

He was confident that their power would be more than enough to drive out the current Demon Lords.

“It’s a shame I can’t do that because I’ve already given them positions.”

Unfortunately, his close aides couldn’t be promoted in rank.

Like how Lucifer held the position of ‘Proxy’, granting a position had the advantage of giving power comparable to a Demon Lord, but it had the disadvantage of not being able to increase their rank unless the position was revoked.

“It’s not that I can’t revoke their positions, but then they would lose the power they gained, which would be troublesome.”

If he revoked their positions, those who harbored resentment would likely attack his subordinates while they were weakened.

“Is there no good solution?~”

While Satan was rolling around on the sofa in his office, pondering solutions.

T h i s w a s c o pi ed fr om k i n g m t l . o r g
Knock knock—

Someone knocked on the office door.

“Come in~”

Burst—

At Satan’s words, the office door opened and Lucifer entered.

“……What are you doing?”

Lucifer frowned at the sight of Satan lying down and asked.

“Me? I was lying down and thinking about how to block those kids’ scheming.”

“Can’t you think while sitting down?”

“This is the position where I get the best ideas.”

At Satan’s answer, Lucifer let out a small sigh.

“I think you don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

He took out a letter from subspace and showed it to him.

“A letter? Who sent it?”

“It’s from the training center’s president, ‘Deetan’.”

“Deetan?”
T h i s was c o p ie d f r om ki n g m t l . o r g

Satan received the letter and unfolded it at the same time, checking its contents.

“Huh…… You’re saying a cadet with the same unique trait as me appeared?”

And the content was quite interesting, exceeding his expectations.

“If it’s the same unique trait as the Demon Lord, their abilities must be quite outstanding. If we raise that kid, we can block the Demon Lords’ schemes.”

“Interesting.”

Satan smiled with anticipation, put the letter into subspace, and got up from his seat.

“If they’re useful, raising them wouldn’t be bad.”

Knowing how powerful the ‘Demon Eye’ unique trait was, Satan felt a deep interest in the cadet he hadn’t even met yet.

“Shall we go and mark our territory first?”

If the other Demon Lords found out about this, they would be frantic to bring the cadet into their own forces.

‘If he goes under another Demon Lord instead of me, it would be better to kill him.’

For now, the Demon Lords’ scheming was at a cute level.

‘But if he joins another Demon Lord, it’s a different story.’

If the one with the ‘Demon Eye’ joined another Demon Lord, it would definitely not end at a cute level.

‘And even if he comes under me, I’ll have to protect him a lot.’

T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r o m k in gmtl . o r g
Just as he was thinking of killing him, conversely, if he came under him, the other Demon Lords would try to kill the cadet.

“Well then, I’ll be back~”

Satan took out his wings on his back and was about to go to the training center.

“Don’t you know that pre-contact is prohibited?”

Lucifer blocked his way, trying to stop him from heading to the training center.

“I know, but now is the best time to mark our territory~ And Deetan is on our side, so we won’t get caught.”

“……”

“You know, we’ve never been caught even once~”

“That’s right, because I’ve also made contact in this way.”

“So don’t worry too much. Okay?”

At Satan’s persuasion, Lucifer sighed and put his hand on his forehead.

“If you get caught, I won’t let you off easy.”

“Okay~”

He finally allowed Satan to sneak into the training center.

Flap—

Thus, Satan headed to the training center where Jung Minwoo was.
T h i s w a s c op i e d f ro m k i n g m t l. or g

After switching bodies with cadet 666.

‘That guy will be here soon, right?’

He was sitting in the meeting room where the cadets were gathered.

‘They said they only called the cadets who ranked first in the duels, so the one with the Demon Eye will come soon too.’

He was looking forward to the first meeting.

‘When will he come~’

After waiting for a while, he started to feel bored because he wasn’t coming.

Burst—

‘He’s here!’

The cadet with the Demon Eye opened the door and entered.

‘What, he’s more handsome and well-built than I thought?’

He had the silly thought of wondering if all demons who acquired the ‘Demon Eye’ unique trait were exceptionally good-looking.

‘Let’s see what kind of desires he has right now.’

He decided to use the Demon Eye to check his desires.

He expected that the cadet’s thought process would be different from ordinary cadets since he possessed the same unique trait as him. As he activated the ‘Demon Eye’.

【Graduate with Honors】

Letters combined above his head, forming the phrase ‘Graduate with Honors’.

‘……Graduate with Honors? Why is his dream so small?’
T hi s w a s c op i e d fr o m k i n g m tl. org

When he was a cadet, his goal was to become the Demon Lord, but this guy’s ambition was too small.

‘Is he just an empty shell with only a good unique trait?’

Satan couldn’t hide his disappointment and was about to withdraw the ‘Demon Eye’ when.

‘……Huh?’

【Return to Earth】, 【Confirm Family’s Wellbeing】, 【Check what happened to himself in Korea】

Other desires followed one after another.

‘……What?’

And as if he had never been disappointed, Satan’s eyes lit up.

‘This is…… really interesting?’

A newly born demon knows about the planet Earth and a specific country?

And he’s even curious about the wellbeing of his non-existent family?

‘This bastard…… reincarnated from a higher being into a demon!’

Satan realized that the cadet was a higher being from Korea on Earth.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r om kin g m t l . o r g
It was something that had never happened before, but anyone who wasn’t an idiot could easily deduce the situation.

‘He’s even more interesting than I thought?’

A newbie with the same unique trait as him turned out to be a reincarnator?

‘This makes me even more interested.’

T h i s w as c o p i ed f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
Satan vowed to bring this cadet under his command no matter what.

‘Earth is a place I’ve had some fun in, so we might even have a good conversation?’

Out of all the planets, his favorite was ‘Earth’, but.

‘It’s a shame I can’t go there. If I could, I would have checked on the wellbeing of his parents.’

Unfortunately, Earth was in the process of merging with another planet, so he couldn’t interfere.

‘A higher being from Earth should have a sharp mind. If I bring him into my forces and make him a Demon Lord, he would be quite helpful?’

If things went well, it seemed like he could get rid of all the scheming Demon Lords.

‘If I’m really lucky, maybe even Baal?’

You might wonder what he sees in a cadet he’s never met before to make such a judgment, but.

‘He has the Demon Eye, so it’s more than enough.’

He had the baseless confidence that if he could become the Demon Lord with the ‘Demon Eye’ unique trait, this cadet could too.

In other words, it was all about the unique trait.

‘Alright, I’ll support you all the way.’

Thus, Satan decided to give Jung Minwoo his full support.

“……And that’s how I found out the secret. Did that answer your question?”

After hearing how Satan found out his secret, Jung Minwoo.

‘I can’t believe I got caught so easily……’

He was disheartened to find out that the secret he had been desperately trying to hide was actually discovered from the beginning.

He had expected Satan to see his desires.

‘I thought I hid my desires, but I guess I didn’t.’

He didn’t know they would be revealed so blatantly.

‘Tsk, it’s a disadvantage that I can’t see my own desires.’

If he could check his own desires with the ‘Demon Eye’, he wouldn’t have been caught so easily.

‘Well, what’s been revealed has been revealed…… Why is he telling me this now?’

After briefly blaming himself, Jung Minwoo became curious about Satan’s intention behind revealing this.

‘……If he tries to blackmail me with this, I won’t just sit back and take it.’

You might wonder if he could be blackmailed just because he’s a reincarnator.

‘It’s more than enough to blackmail him.’

Originally, whether mortal or immortal, they tended to exclude and view those different from themselves with hostility.

In other words, if they knew he was a reincarnator of human origin, they would try to pull him down from his position as Demon Lord.

‘Of course, I’m not going to just let them.’

He wasn’t so weak as to be intimidated, so if such a situation arose, he could handle it himself. However, he didn’t welcome any unnecessary trouble.

‘First, I need to see how Satan plays this.’

He decided to listen to Satan’s intentions before deciding whether he was an enemy.

“But…… can I ask why you’re telling me this now?”

“Don’t you think secrets bring people closer?”

Satan shrugged and answered Jung Minwoo’s question.

‘You’re saying that’s the only reason……?’

It was a typical thing for Satan to say.

‘It’s better to be sure.’

Jung Minwoo decided to read Satan’s mind.

【Our relationship will become even closer from now on, right?】

Perhaps because his rank had risen to Demon Lord, his unique trait was working properly, and he could read Satan’s thoughts.

【If things go well, I might even get to call you father-in-law, so there shouldn’t be any secrets between us.】

“……”

And he could see that Satan truly had no other intentions.

‘You’re saying you told me for no particular reason……?’

He felt like a fool for seriously pondering over it.

‘……Then wouldn’t it have been better not to tell me in the first place?’

After reading Satan’s mind, he became even more curious about why he revealed this.

T hi s w as c op i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
Of course, Satan had said that revealing secrets brings people closer.

‘But that alone doesn’t make sense.’

He felt like their relationship was already quite good.

Since he had already given a reason, he hesitated to ask again and was lost in thought when.

“The other reason is so that we don’t become enemies later on.”

As if reading his mind, Satan explained the other reason at the perfect timing.

“To avoid becoming enemies……?”

“Yeah, you might misunderstand when you find out about this later, right?”

“Did you tell anyone else about this?”

“No, I didn’t.”

“Then there’s no way for me to find out, is there?”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Satan shook his head.

“You can read minds, can’t you?”

“……”

He mentioned the other unique trait he possessed.

‘……How do you know that?’

T h i s w as c op ie d f r om ki n gm t l . o r g
He looked at Satan with a questioning gaze.

“I didn’t know until recently, but when you became a Demon Lord, a message window popped up saying that I could copy your unique traits because our bond had deepened.”

He kindly explained how he found out.

“But you have quite a lot of unique traits, huh? ‘Mind’s Eye’, ‘Heaven’s Eye’, ‘Brain Eye’. Among them, I’m a little envious of ‘Mind’s Eye’.”

“……So are you using ‘Mind’s Eye’ right now?”

“No, unfortunately, it doesn’t work because your soul isn’t human.”

“I see.”

Jung Minwoo inwardly sighed with relief at the words that he couldn’t copy his unique traits.
