The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Late at night that day.

The efficiency of the Shadow Court was quite good. They completed the deployment of servants in six locations on the same day and were ready to take action, just waiting for the order.

The target building for the attack was already clearly identified: the building located in the very center of the Golden Weasel Trading Company Street.

There may be cult members mixed in with ordinary people, but since they are difficult to distinguish, let's let them go for now.

The management of the Golden Weasel Chamber of Commerce is definitely problematic. A raid on the Golden Weasel Chamber of Commerce branch building would be a sure thing.

Although the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild's branch building was also luxuriously decorated, it was far less impressive than the Grand Merchant Guild's building.

Do you understand the awe-inspiring impact that modern civilization brought to a medieval fantasy world?

In the dead of night, every household had already turned off their lights. It should be said that many people simply could not afford the cost of having light at night. Under the rule of the feudal kingdom, being able to ensure food and clothing was a great blessing for ordinary people.

Some of the guards kept by the lord of Newton were responsible for daily patrols of the territory, but they usually only patrolled until midnight, with only a few guards patrolling from late at night until dawn.

Choosing this time to act would allow them to avoid Silas's guards to some extent, thus preventing them from becoming enemies with this well-regarded nobleman.

Of course, if the Lord of the Bull Territory provokes them, or if Silas Tehov and the cultists of the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild are in cahoots, the Shadow Court will not be afraid, nor will it show the slightest mercy.

Until the dark clouds obscured the half-moon hanging high in the sky, Gray gave an order that resounded directly in the minds of all the servants through telepathy—it was Lord Shadow's signature deep voice.

"action!"

As soon as Greb gave the order, the servants dressed in black robes immediately sprang into action, and dozens of dark figures approached the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild branch building.

Nighttime is the domain of the Shadow Court.

Most of the important tasks assigned by the Shadow Court are carried out at night, while everyone maintains their public identities during the day.

Of course, some waiters dedicate themselves entirely to their work as Shadow Warriors.

For example, there's Laila, who wishes she could work 24/7 without rest, dedicating herself to the Shadow Court and repaying Lord Shadow.

Near the building of the Golden Weasel Chamber of Commerce branch, you can see several lazy guards at the entrance, dozing off, showing no vigilance whatsoever.

That makes sense. Since its establishment, the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild has never been attacked. In the business world, the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild has almost dominated half of the market, with only the emerging Grand Merchant Guild able to put up a fight.

Furthermore, the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild collaborates with nobles and even the Holy Light Church, sharing considerable benefits with them. Consequently, few have a reason to oppose them.

The recruited guards were basically just there to fill positions, not only because the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild didn't have many enemies, but also to prevent the fact that there were too many outsiders inside the guild and that the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild was actually controlled by the greedy and avaricious faction of the Demonic Order from being exposed.

Moreover, if an attack were to occur, the cultists would step in themselves, rendering the guards useless.

These guards were all unaware of the situation. As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss, and their lazy demeanor made it easier for the Shadow Court to spare their lives when they made their move.

Several waiters exchanged glances, made no sound, and appeared like ghosts in front of the drowsy guard at the door, delivering a heavy chop to the guard's neck.

The guards only felt a gust of cold wind, and the next moment they were struck on the neck with a hand chop and fell straight down.

It's good to be young, just fall asleep.

After knocking out the guards at the entrance, the servants swarmed in and entered the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild branch building.

Gray stepped into the building at a leisurely pace, followed cautiously by number 0333.

Number 0333 continues to serve as the liaison between Lord Shadow and the Shadow Court attendants in this operation. However, Number 0333 prefers to fight against the cultists rather than be alone with Lord Shadow. It's too terrifying. Number 0333 is still sweating profusely and has his heart in his throat.

Gray, as the leader of the operation, had a simple task.

Lead the servants in briefly to infiltrate, and if they encounter any high-level professional cultists they cannot resist, intervene promptly to resolve the situation.

If no such fellow appears, then the main characters tonight will be the servants of the Shadow Court.

—————————————————————

Inside the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild building.

The cultists had just held a lavish feast, and many of them were completely drunk.

It's possible to use magic to cure drunkenness, but that would be such a waste of the fine wine served at the banquet.

The faction of greed and avarice is the number one faction in the Demon Order, slightly surpassing the faction of power and domination and the faction of lust and pleasure, which are also among the three strongest factions.

The reason is simple: money is just too tempting.

Just as the saying goes, "Money isn't everything, but you can't do without it." Money can buy many things and satisfy other human desires, such as the desire for food and sex...

Therefore, cultists of the money-and-greed faction always thought their colleagues of the lust-and-pleasure faction were stupid. They believed that by joining the money-and-greed faction, they could have as many beauties as they wanted once they had money.

They have everything that other factions have, including the greedy and avaricious factions.

They also possess the greed and avarice that other factions lack.

If not, it means there isn't enough money.

With a little effort, becoming a priest will grant you better treatment and greater access to the Greed Space.

The only downside is that spending too much time in the money-grubbing and greedy faction can easily lead to weight gain.

But this isn't a huge problem.

Potions masters can create potions that can reduce fat, but they are expensive and people generally feel that it is not necessary to buy them. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to enjoy something better?

Three drunken, fat men, arm in arm, addressed each other as brothers, and walked together down the corridor.

"Good wine...good wine..." One of them was out of his mind. He was a heavy drinker, so he was the most drunk of the three fat men.

The other two fat men were also swaying unsteadily, their fat jiggling as they walked.

"Hey bro, your demi-human slave is pretty good-looking. How about I borrow him for a few days?"

After some hesitation, the other person finally said bluntly, "One silver coin for playing all night, brother, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"

Brother: "No, bro. Talking about money hurts our feelings."

Brother: "Brother, relationships cost a lot of money."

Just as the two brothers were struggling, a cold light flashed and instantly beheaded the three men, their blood staining the carpet.

The smell of blood wafted up, and the other cultists who smelled it immediately sobered up considerably, quickly expending their magic to sober up.

Seeing the blood on the ground and several men in black robes, they could no longer remain drunk.

"Enemy attack!"
