"Commander!"
The Four-eyed Demon mysteriously sidled up to a prison guard.
However, this was not just any ordinary guard, but the small boss responsible for managing other guards in the bunker.
Normally, a prisoner would have no chance to interact with an officer of his level, but as a high-level prisoner with rare dueling skills, the Four-eyed Demon also had responsibilities similar to a prisoner warden, assisting occasionally in managing other prisoners.
This is why when Yugen first arrived, the guard permitted him to "educate" the newcomers.
"What's the matter?" The commander said coldly, "You should know that the bunker has just suffered an intrusion; it's our busiest time. If it's nothing urgent..."
"Of course, it's urgent!"
The Four-eyed Demon looked woeful.
"There's this prisoner now, utterly lawless, completely disregarding the rules of the bunker! He's blatantly breaking the rules, forcibly dueling us, unreasonably seizing our card decks, and even cruelly killing other inmates through duels...
He's not just attacking us; he's attacking the face of the bunker! It's absolutely insane and lawless..."
To his surprise, the commander, upon hearing such a serious accusation, didn't seem startled and didn't immediately take action. Instead, he slowly asked, "Oh. So, who is this prisoner you're talking about?"
This attitude left the Four-eyed Demon a bit taken aback and also a bit uneasy.
Could it be that the commander already knew?
But if he knows and remains indifferent, doesn't that mean there's really something fishy going on?
But now that he's reported it, he can't just back out, especially with the card deck taken, leaving the matter unresolved. So he continued his accusation with tears and regret.
"It's the newest arrival, just came in earlier today! On his first day, he dares to act so recklessly. I can't imagine what he'll do tomorrow..."
"Hmm, him." The commander nodded, seemingly unsurprised, then asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Of course I saw it with my own eyes!" the Four-eyed Demon said angrily, "He even took my card deck! He's openly defying the rules of the Divine Cult... What are you doing, my lord!?"
The Four-eyed Demon was aghast. He saw the commander draw his sword without a second thought, seemingly preparing to cut him down.
"Since you saw it with your own eyes, then you can't be left alive." The commander said coldly, "You know too much."
Four-eyed Demon: "?"
He opened his mouth, but his mind went blank, unable to speak, filled with question marks.
What does this mean? He broke the rules, so why should I lose my head?
"Think again, is it really true?" The commander said calmly, "Or is it possible that you might have mistaken?"
The Demon's four eyes widened in confusion, and before he could speak, a voice came from behind: "No, he didn't hear wrong. It's true."
Upon hearing that voice, the Four-eyed Demon felt a surge of gratitude and quickly turned to see which brother would brave such danger to support him.
But when he turned, he was suddenly frozen.
Dammit, isn't that the defendant?
Yugen sauntered in from outside, smiling, and said, "I can testify; he's not lying. It's true."
The Four-eyed Demon was dumbfounded.
Wait... why do you look so pleased?
The Demon then looked at the commander in confusion.
Are you listening? He's confessed, so shouldn't you at least react to that?
Instead, the commander seemed a bit troubled, scratching his head, and then carefully said, "Well... since you personally handled that prisoner, there must indeed be something wrong with him.
So... should we find a Curse Master who knows resurrection to bring the dead back for you to apologize, and make sure he reflects well after returning to the underworld?"
Four-eyed Demon: "???"
Do you hear what you're saying?
He suddenly felt completely lost.
Isn't this person a new prisoner today? In this scene, the unaware would think he's the commander's parent...
Then, out of the corner of his eye, the Demon's gaze fell on the extra little badge on the other's chest. The badge bore a series of strange symbols in demonic script, but he immediately recognized what the symbols meant.
"Deputy Prison Director".
Four-eyed Demon: "??????"
He was beyond shocked.
What the heck?
Wasn't he just a new arrival today? How did he become the prison director?
Looking at the other's beaming smile, that calm and arrogant demeanor, the Demon's four eyes suddenly understood the meaning—
—"Who stands below, and why are you accusing this officer?"
The Four-eyed Demon's eyes were wet, all four of them.
The Four-eyed Demon left howling in the end... dragged away by the demon guard executioners.
The commander smiled:**"Sorry to make you laugh. Just a clown, please don't let such a character affect your mood..."
"No worries."
Yugen waved generously.
"Besides, I actually have another purpose in coming today."
He paused, asking.
"I remember you should possess elite dueling abilities, right?"
"Thanks to the cultivation of the organization." The Demon Commander held high his head proudly.
"Very good, very good. To tell you the truth, I came this time not just for routine inspection but also with another mission."
Yugen put his hands behind his back, speaking like a leader on inspection.
"After evaluation by the organization, it seems that the stationed troops in this bunker are quite underdeveloped within our organization's strongholds, so the main forces need some reinforcement.
Today, I happened to witness that jailbreak incident. The performance of the bunker when facing external enemies was barely adequate. Although we successfully repelled the rebels without danger at the end, I see great room for improvement."
The commander continuously nodded: "Your critique is justified..."
"So, at the request of the Divine Cult, I brought along a batch of cards for reinforcement." Yugen said solemnly, "With the infusion of this power, the forces in the bunker will surely be further strengthened."
The commander's eyes lit up, heartbeat accelerating.
Reinforcement from headquarters!
It's said that even the ace card in the current prison director's deck was a gift from the headquarters of the Divine Cult. The great God of Orichalcos has traveled through countless worlds and conquered myriad dimensions, and everyone knows the organization possesses power and depth far beyond what ordinary elves can imagine.
Even a slight benefit slipping through the organization's fingers could bring significant gains for them.
"Thank you so much!" The commander almost prostrated, "We'll definitely live up to the organization's cultivation!"
"Very good, now let me take a look at your card deck first." Yugen nodded slightly.
The commander summoned his Duel Disc without hesitation, pulling out the card deck and handing it to Yugen.
Yugen took it, spread it out for a brief scan, then nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'll take it to study. We'll come up with a targeted enhancement plan based on your deck's traits and weaknesses. Wait for the news."
"Okay!"
The commander beamed, promptly ushering the "Divine Envoy" out of the room.
Even after Yugen's silhouette vanished from sight, the Demon remained immersed in his wonderful fantasy of soaring from here on out.
Word has it that the prison director back then had received guidance from the organization to achieve today's prowess. Now, having a similar opportunity myself, doesn't that mean...
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and couldn't help but let out hearty laughter.
"Khekhekhekhe..."
