230 Dekan Respects the Customer’s Choice
The three surviving demons swallowed hard.
They felt as though someone had pressed a forbidden spell against their heads.
They didn’t dare to move an inch.
In fact, Dekan was just scaring them.
Because his [Mental Interference], [Mental Impact], and [Sun Fist] were all on cooldown.
The two Goblins earlier were also on cooldown after being unsummoned.
But.
In the eyes of these few demons.
This crazy Succubus didn’t seem to be bluffing at all!
It felt as if she could make them all lose consciousness with just a thought!
This oppressive feeling was akin to that of an eighth-rank Great Demon.
At any moment, regardless of consequences, she could easily crush them.
From birth to now, they had never felt such fear from a demon.
But they kept silent for the moment, as if waiting for something.
They still had their last resort.
Dekan observed their expressions with interest.
This sense of hope on the brink of despair.
It was especially interesting to extinguish it.
Just then, with a ripple of magical power, the Warden reappeared in the Restaurant, seemingly reluctantly and urgently summoned.
Finally.
The surviving demons breathed a sigh of relief.
They had finally waited for the Warden’s actual appearance.
“I’ll waive your fee to go to the next level. You may leave.”
The Warden walked to Dekan’s side and said, his voice still as emotionless as before.
He could not violate his duty as Warden.
But he also had no way to stop Dekan from completing his work according to the rules.
So he proposed a deal.
Using his limited authority to waive Dekan’s 3000 Demon Points for the teleportation fee to the next level, sending Dekan away.
It was also equivalent to offering 3000 Demon Points to buy the lives of these Demon Nobles.
After all, if these high-ranking Nobles all died here, it would also be a difficult situation for him to handle.
“These customers really like me. As soon as they saw me, they said they wanted to stay with me. I already told them I still had work, but they were insistent.”
Dekan shook his head, smiling at the Warden as he said this.
The three demons wanted to say something but didn’t dare to voice it.
They were now extremely regretful that they had even thought of keeping this Succubus earlier.
They were now entirely dependent on the Warden to save them.
“You’d better know your limits.”
The Warden, seeing Dekan’s determination, didn’t bother to say anything else and left the restaurant.
The three demons were left standing there with vacant stares.
“Ah, looks like the Warden can’t protect you after all?”
Dekan chuckled, enjoying their expressions.
He found this level’s Warden was indeed a real Demon.
Dedicated, smooth, yet not losing the baseline of fairness.
But it might also be due to serving this group of foolish Demons for too long, and the Warden probably wished they were dead.
However, the Warden couldn’t act himself, and even had to protect them according to his position.
It was rare to encounter a Demon with such audacity who dared to wipe out these fellows at once.
After doing all he could to fulfill his duties, the Warden naturally left.
Since a Demon was willing to take all the responsibility, most of the Warden’s troubles disappeared.
Even if he would still face some troubles later, the peace he gained in exchange was absolutely worth it.
At this moment, the several Noble Demons finally fully understood their current situation.
Their lives were now completely in the hands of this Succubus.
“What happened to your arrogance? How quick you’ve become so submissive?”
Dekan glanced at the three demons that had deflated and were slumped like deflated balloons, shaking his head and laughing, seeing them as cowards.
The Scaley Demon and the Silver-Haired Demon, who had most initially challenged him, had actually both survived.
Next, it was time for him to play with them properly.
Dekan kicked the demon who had fainted earlier from his 60x Mental Impact and sat down steadily in a chair.
Now, at this table, he was the absolute leader.
“Alright, let’s play a game now.”
“Except for this guy who fainted; he was unlucky and won’t get to participate in this survival game.”
“Out of the three of you, I promise to let one leave, and the other two will stay with me.”
As Dekan spoke, he glanced at the Demon Bracelets on the wrists of the three demons.
There were probably quite a lot of Demon Points inside.
According to the prison’s rules, their Demon Points should be regularly and substantially replenished.
However, if Dekan simply snatched their Demon Bracelets, it wouldn’t hold any practical use.
He had already quickly experimented with Lars’ Demon Bracelet on the first level and found that even if you forcefully took the bracelet, you couldn’t make transactions with it.
You would need the corresponding owner’s operation to perform transactions.
Thus, he needed these three demons to willingly hand over their Demon Points to him.
No stealing, no snatching—this was what counted as a free exchange.
Dekan: “So, do you think my service is good?”
The three demons didn’t dare to speak.
But they could sense Dekan fixating a death glare on them while smiling.
They could only hurriedly nod.
“Hmm, you’re three honest demons. Since my service makes you this satisfied, shouldn’t you give me a little tip?”
After saying that, Dekan leisurely rested his chin on his hand, crossed his legs, and sat back with a smile.
And he extended his other hand onto the table.
His intention was very clear.
Make a bid, to buy your own lives.
The highest bidder gets to leave.
From this moment on.
The three surviving demons’ attitudes became extremely fawning.
They began to hurriedly offer their Demon Points to Dekan!
The scene right now looked like several gigolos trying their best to charm a rich widow!
Dekan watched the rapidly changing numbers on the Demon Bracelets and nodded frequently.
In just a few seconds, he already received nearly 10,000 Demon Points!
[3565] → [13065]
The three demons were like those who had emptied their homes, frantically handing over all the Demon Points from their bodies to Dekan.
When he noticed that the three demons had stopped and had no more intention to offer,
Dekan curved his lips and grinned.
“Ah, is that all then? Then I will announce the answer now.”
Dekan hadn’t told the Demon Nobles how much Demon Points each of them had given him.
Who won and who lost would all depend on guesswork.
“Please wait a moment!”
The Scaley Demon gritted his teeth and handed over another 2000 Demon Points to Dekan.
Apparently, he had gone all in.
Seeing this, the other two demons began to panic.
This situation was forcing them to compete!
Even if they would soon face a situation where they would have no Demon Points left!
So Dekan received 1500 and 3000 Demon Points respectively from the remaining two demons.
This brought Dekan’s total Demon Points soaring to [19565].
Even though, his moral balance was negative 19565.
But this was all a necessary sacrifice made for the protection of the present world!
