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

"Okay, it's a pleasure to cooperate. We will also fulfill our contractual obligations and improve the environment immediately."

They obtained the information they wanted, although it was only information about ordinary believers in a power-hungry and domineering faction, but that was enough.

Next, we just need to arrest them one by one according to the list, and then continue to extract information from the newly arrested cult members, so that the supply can keep increasing.

Of course, simply dealing with ordinary cult members wouldn't cripple the power-hungry and domineering faction. What Gray hoped for was whether the next group of cult members could provide information about higher-level cult members.

Now that we have enough manpower, more than half of the Ten Shadow Servants have gathered here. After attacking the Golden Heart Weasel Merchant Guild branch, we can capture the cultists of the Power and Domination faction. There is no conflict, so we can carry it out together.

After all, having so many waiters targeting only one faction, even if that faction is the largest, is like casting pearls before swine, wasting time, manpower, and resources.

While they cannot contend with the entire Demonic Order simultaneously, they can still handle fighting two factions.

Gray left the cell, and not long after, Alpha arrived.

"Lord Shadow Demon, the other person has also confessed. This is the information he provided." After saying that, he presented a written record.

Gray took the paper and compared the information provided by both parties.

This prisoner's dilemma works remarkably well on people from another world, even to the point of seeming a bit like bullying.

Gray sighed, "When disaster strikes, everyone flies away."

Upon hearing this, Beta's beautiful eyes lit up, and she secretly memorized the words in the Book of Shadows.

The wisdom of shadow is directed toward all the servants of the Shadow Court, while the philosophical words of shadow are recorded by Beta.

However, Gray didn't know these things, otherwise he could have pretended to be sophisticated and copied more... and added a few more lines.

Mountains are perilous because they do not tolerate even the smallest flaws, and seas are deep because they do not refuse even the most abundant resources.

If you take the top, you will get the middle; if you take the bottom, you will get nothing.

...and so on.

“Lord Shadow…” Alpha suddenly spoke up.

"Speak," Gray said, seeing that she seemed to have something to ask.

“We’ve signed a magic contract, but in the end we still have to let these two go. Won’t that…” Alpha was clearly worried about letting the tiger return to the mountain.

“Oh, it’s alright, I found a loophole.” Gray chuckled. “The contract is only binding on ‘our Shadow Court servants.’ I’m not a servant, so I’ll just take care of them myself.”

Alpha thought about it and realized... that made sense?

Gray exploited an information gap, leading them to mistakenly believe that "we, the Shadow Court Attendants," encompassed everyone, but in reality, the contract did not include Gray.

Despite checking the contract details repeatedly, Duer Valen was still tricked by Gray.

The girls exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of Lord Shadow Demon!"

But the stunning pink-haired succubus uttered an inappropriate half-sentence: "So delicious, I really want to eat it..."

Startled, Gray quickly sat up straight and pretended not to have heard anything.

"The cultists in the Valen Territory have been dealt with. It's time to move on to another place. Let's prepare and set off."

"what?"

The girls were not very happy, or rather, quite unhappy.

The groups were formed, with Gray paired with Whitescale, which meant they would be separated from Gray for several days.

Perhaps, Gray's grouping was to avoid the man-eating pink-haired succubus?

This point doesn't seem to hurt Kappa much, since she's always willing to give up space to support other people's romantic relationships.

She was happy to see Gray and Whitescale alone together.

On the contrary, it was others...

It's hurting innocent people...

—————————————————————

That night, Narnia took over.

"Bai Lin, we're still in the middle of an operation, isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

Bai Lin was seen holding Gray's arm, looking quite affectionate.

Gray grouped himself with Bai Lin in the same group because he thought Bai Lin wasn't very familiar with the others and wanted to take care of her.

But this cloying sweetness...

Perhaps he should group Bai Lin and Xi Ta together? And bring Alpha along himself.

Because, as things stand, only bringing Alpha is safe, as everyone else is extremely close to Gray.

But since he had already decided to bring Bai Lin along, he deserved to enjoy the good life... and bear this pain.

A public display of affection known as the "Horny White Dragon Girl's Intimacy Offensive"!

Gray's worries were unnecessary; his close proximity to Whitescale did not hinder his movements.

Before the operation began, several waiters whispered among themselves.

Number 0298 glanced at their Shadow Lord and whispered, "Do you know that woman who's sticking to Shadow Lord?"

Interface 0299: "Ask the team leader, she has more information."

Number 0297, the team leader, began, "All I know is that she's a new member, like number 0486, a special attendant. I don't know why she's so close to Lord Shadow..."

Number 0298 sighed, "Lord Theta and Lord Shadow are clearly the most compatible."

Number 0301 also revealed his favorite pair: "If we're talking about a perfect match, it's definitely the eldest sister."

Number 0299 ​​retorted, "No, no, no, the one who is most compatible with Lord Shadow is of course Lord Aiota. Rumor has it that Lord Aiota is Lord Shadow's fiancée!"

Number 0298: "Where did you hear this rumor? Is it really reliable? I've never heard of it."

“It’s true.” A waiter came over.

Number 0212 belongs to another team and came over because he heard something interesting (gossip).

Humans are creatures that can't resist listening to gossip!

Number 0212 said confidently, "About half a year ago, when I was still working under Lord Gamma. One day, when I was delivering some documents, I suddenly heard Lord Gamma shout. Out of curiosity, I secretly glanced at Lord Gamma and saw what he saw."

It read: "Grey Brandt and Cyrus Grinven are engaged."

Question 0298: "Are those Lord Shadow and Lord Aiota's real names?"

Number 0212 nodded and continued, "At that time, Lord Gamma seemed to have suffered some kind of blow; his eyes were lifeless, and he slumped into his chair."

She was still muttering to herself, 'Lord Shadow and Aiotah... how could this be...'

At this moment, Captain 0101 of No. 0212 appeared, grabbed No. 0212 by the ear, and dragged her back.

"You're gossiping about Lord Shadow and the other Ten Shadows again! The operation is about to begin, this is preparation time, not for you to chat!"

Number 0212 begged loudly, "Sister, it hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, let go, I can walk by myself, stop pulling my ear."

Number 0101 said sternly, "No way! If we're not careful, you'll disappear again and we won't be able to find you!"

Number 0101 dragged Number 0212 away, leaving without a trace, leaving several waiters looking at each other, wondering if the news was true...
