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

When Gray informed the Shadow Court servants to leave, Delta immediately deduced Gray's next plan from his words and hurriedly led the servants straight to the ground.

Immediately, a purplish-black light curtain enveloped the Netherworld Palace, and Delta accelerated her way to the ground.

Accompanying them were a group of adventurers. Delta frowned slightly and led her servants to a more distant location, disappearing from sight.

Their black robes might attract the attention of adventurers, so to prevent any unforeseen complications, Delta immediately decided to take her men a little further away, since Gray would find them eventually anyway.

The worst-case scenario is that he'll come up and then quietly slip away without even looking for them. Delta would be kicking herself for losing the chance to cultivate a relationship with Lord Shadow.

Fortunately, all the adventurers' attention was focused on the purplish-black light screen that ran through the entire Netherworld Palace, and no one noticed their quiet departure.

Gray's goal was simply to blow up the information recorded on the 18th floor of the Netherworld Palace; he had no intention of destroying the entire Netherworld Palace.

Although the light curtain generated by the outward release of magic had already illuminated the entire Netherworld Palace, the actual range of the magic explosion was only on the 18th floor; Gray had deliberately concealed it.

However, after the 18th floor was blown up, the entire Netherworld Palace began to collapse. This may be because the 18th floor was the foundation of the Netherworld Palace, or the Netherworld Palace was maintained by that snake-shaped statue.

In short, at the moment of destruction on the 18th floor, the entire Netherworld Palace collapsed.

Gray was somewhat frustrated as things had deviated from the original plan.

He originally only planned to destroy the 18th floor, but now he has to deal with the first 17 floors as well, otherwise he will be crushed to death.

An even brighter light flashed instantly, the blinding purple light making it impossible for the adventurers watching from above to open their eyes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gray immediately activated his Flying Dance technique and rushed towards the location of the Delta women.

As the light gradually faded, when the adventurers could open their eyes again, the Netherworld Palace, this underground city, had vanished without a trace, leaving only a bottomless, enormous pit in its place.

Gray landed steadily in front of Delta, and what came into view was the same fanatical look on the blonde vampire's face as on Theta's.

The waiters standing nearby stared in disbelief, all feeling the immense magical power that had just erupted.

Is this the legendary move of Lord Shadow?

From this perspective, the rumors are not exaggerated at all; in fact, the descriptions seem conservative.

After all, there is always a gap between language and sensory experience, and what you learn from cold words is far less impactful than experiencing it firsthand.

Conservatives: We think the radicals are too conservative.

It's no wonder they had that expression since it was the first time they'd met.

The expressions on the faces of the Ten Shadows when they first met "I am atomic" were not necessarily better than theirs.

Speaking of which, the little girl number 0486 had the most unusual reaction.

Waiters who have witnessed Gray's move all show the same fanatical expression as Theta and Delta; they are all the same in this respect.

"The matter is settled, I'm about to slip away."

Having learned the secrets of the 18th floor of the Netherworld Palace and nipped the danger in the bud, Gray had no reason to stay any longer and prepared to leave.

I just felt that leaving without saying goodbye wasn't a good idea. My sudden disappearance might make Delta and the others think that something had happened to me, and that would be bad if it caused a misunderstanding.

With that in mind, Gray decided to come over and say goodbye to Delta anyway.

Upon hearing this, Delta immediately snapped out of her frenzy.

Lord Shadow is leaving; we need to think of a way to persuade him to stay.

Delta's mind raced, and before Gray could leave, she blurted out, "Lord Shadow, aren't you going to check on the base?"

Upon hearing this, Gray immediately stopped.

From Azure Peak Territory to Shadow Forest, and then to the Netherworld Palace, Gray stayed in inns along the way and didn't actually visit the various Shadow Court strongholds.

Gray was eager to find out how the Shadow Court was doing, and after a moment's thought, he agreed to Delta's suggestion.

"Alright, take me there."

Gray followed Delta to a nearby town, where they saw a tall building in the town center.

Although this building is only a few stories high, it cannot be considered a "tall building" by modern standards.

But don't forget that this world is set in a medieval Western fantasy world, so these five or six-story buildings are practically a dimensional reduction attack.

There is a plaque on the building that reads "Grand Chamber of Commerce" in large characters.

The plaque is made of deep ebony, the surface of which exudes a faint magical luster, as if it has been enchanted with some kind of eternal protective spell.

The four characters "Grand Chamber of Commerce" are inlaid in silver in the center of the plaque.

The edges of the plaque are decorated with delicate patterns, and the beautiful design adds an artistic touch to the entire plaque.

Gray had heard of the Grand Chamber of Commerce before, first from his adoptive father and then from Alpha.

The Grand Chamber of Commerce has branches all over the world, and even in impoverished territories like Bifeng Territory, where no other chamber of commerce is willing to do business, there are branches of the Grand Chamber of Commerce.

From his adoptive father, Ed Brandt, Gray learned that the Glen Merchant Guild was a merchant guild that had suddenly risen to prominence in recent years. It was known for selling a wide variety of practical goods and also sold luxury items to noble gentlemen, and it seemed to have become popular all over the world.

Gray remarked at the time that it was a coincidence.

Because the word "Gran" is the same as the word "Gree," and it also contains the character "Lan" in Gamma's name, I wondered if there might be some connection.

It was only after receiving Alpha's report that they realized the Grand Chamber of Commerce was established by the Shadow Court, and its core members were all servants of the Shadow Court, with Gamma serving as the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing the building and the dazzling array of goods in front of him, Gray was speechless.

Wow, they've already grown to this scale?

As expected of Gamma, she truly has a talent for business. It's no wonder I always explain things to her and Eiota.

Gray was very familiar with all of these products in front of him.

Modern clothing comes in a wide variety of styles, including items that increase attack speed, such as stockings.

There were also all sorts of foods that made Gray's mouth water.

The sight of ice cream, potato chips, and other puffed snacks, along with the jianbing guozi, youtiao, and grilled sausages on the stalls, reminded him of the convenience store from his past life.

Immediately, Gray's eyes welled up with tears.

Twenty years after being transported to another world, Gray still misses home and longs for the technologically advanced Earth.

I'll have to give Gamma a good compliment next time I see him.

They helped her pay off her debts back then, and now Gamma has established this chamber of commerce, earning money that is many times greater than that debt.

"Hiss~" Gray suddenly gasped, his face twitching involuntarily.

They seem to be much more capable than I expected.
