A Demon's Journey

The King of the Sinyalian Kingdom soon found out about this alliance between the Noble Families. He was slightly worried as this alliance wasn't weak.

It could be considered a hidden danger for him. But dealing with them also wasn't a good idea. It would just confirm the suspicious held by these Noble Families.

First, he decided to spread some false rumors about the Walsh Dukedom. How Siluca was colluding with the enemy kingdom and so on.

Once those rumors had spread in the entire Kingdom, the King was going to check the reactions of these Noble Families. After that, he was going to take subtle action against one of them.

While taking action against one of the Noble Families, he was going to frame another one.

In this way, the unity between the Noble Houses would be shattered. Once this alliance is shaken, the King could easily deal with them.

Fortunately, he had his spies among this Noble Family Alliance. He knew what they were thinking and planning ahead.

This entire sequence of events would take months, if not years. The King had time to wait for the rumors to settle in and then subtly take action.

However, the King remained unaware that the one who planned for this situation to occur was Azaroth.

He wasn't going to give the King so much time to deal with this situation.

Before these rumors settled in the Sinyalian Kingdom, the Glerian Kingdom would declare war on the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Thus, the King of the Sinyalian Kingdom would never have the opportunity to deal with this Noble Family Alliance.

In the meantime, Azaroth was in Veninza City, helping Yrellea find some women who could become her potential subordinates.

These women belonged to either Origin Sect or the famous families in Veninza City.

Yrellea only had to point at the women in Origin Sect. Azaroth met with those women and gave them a choice to follow Yrellea while presenting a couple of rewards in terms of cultivation technique and wealth.

Most of the women agreed as they were tempted by those possible rewards.

Azaroth didn't warn them that they couldn't back out. That was something they would understand soon enough.

In any case, he and Laura, and Yrellea decided to explore the Veninza City Market. During their stroll, Yrellea would assess the ladies in the area and select those who would be beneficial for her Misty Flower Pavilion.

They formed a list of women that were chosen by Yrellea.

There were three women belonging to prestigious families within the list. He decided to deal with them later.

Firstly, the women with a standard background had to be dealt with. Azaroth visited the woman's family and ordered her parents to give their daughter to him if they wanted to live.

The wording was slightly ambiguous, but Azaroth didn't care. Most of the families gave in to his threat.

The women were informed that a man had arrived and suddenly demanded them. The family gave in to his threats.

These women were scared as they thought that this man would play around with their bodies and so on.

However, when they arrived at the location mentioned by Azaroth, they found other women. All of them were women with a standard appearance. They weren't especially pretty or bad-looking.

Soon, Azaroth and Yrellea arrived on the stage ahead of them. Azaroth wore a dark blue-colored mask on his face as he didn't want to show his face to these women.

The women were startled to see Yrellea as she was such a beautiful and seductive woman. Moreover, she was walking so closely with Azaroth.

They wondered whether she was also threatened like they were. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense.

Azaroth noticed their gaze and ignored it.

Meanwhile, Yrellea took a deep breath and spoke out, "Greetings everyone, I am sure you are all confused about this gathering today."

"Let's start from the beginning. I am Yrellea, and this is my master, Azaroth," Yrellea cheerfully introduced herself and Azaroth.

The expressions of the women changed when they heard this statement. They felt that their guess had turned out to be the truth.

"You all have been gathered here because I requested him," Yrellea spoke with a smile.

"Why would you have us gather here?" A woman mustered her courage and asked out.

"I wish to create a Pavilion in this city. It will be similar to a bar where there will be a stage at the center of this building. You all will be tasked to use your talents to entertain the customers. Like singing, dancing, poetry, and so on," Yrellea gave them a general overview of the Misty Flower Pavilion.

Yrellea noticed looks of confusion on these women's faces. She smiled a bit and then asked them, "Have you heard of the Misty Flower Pavilion in Vlashire City? That's my Pavilion. And I want to create a branch here as well."

When they found out that Yrellea was the Mistress of the Misty Flower Pavilion, a few women had amazed expressions on their faces.

"I wish to hear what you have heard about me. Speak one by one. First… You." Yrellea chose a woman amongst them.

Her motive for asking them to speak what they had heard about her was so that the other women would understand what Misty Flower Pavilion was more clearly.

In this situation, they were definitely not going to speak anything bad about Yrellea or Misty Flower Pavilion.

The majority of these ladies would try to impress her.

Soon enough, the entire group of ladies was informed how the Misty Flower Pavilion was to the naked eyes.

Nearly all women looked interested in working in Misty Flower Pavilion. They were just a bit worried about how much they would receive from it.

The women belonging to the Origin Sect weren't worried. They were already promised a new cultivation technique that was better than their old one.

For them, this was a currency that was far superior to the Spirit Coins.

As for the others, Yrellea promised them that they would receive a sumptuous salary for working in Misty Flower Pavilion.

She continued to entice these women with various benefits.

And suddenly, Azaroth stepped forward before speaking up, "Everything that Yrellea had spoken is the truth. However, you must know why this Misty Flower Pavilion is being set up."

"It will be an information-gathering branch. Your primary task will be to gather information from the customers. Yrellea will explain more regarding it," Azaroth spoke.

Yrellea was mentioning too many benefits to them. Azaroth felt that he needed to dampen their excitement.

"That's right. This is the primary objective of the Misty Flower Pavilion. But no need to worry too much about it. It will be very easy. I will mention more about it during your training. Which, by the way, will start from tomorrow," Yrellea spoke out.

The women were surprised to hear that their training would commence from the next day.

"Follow me to your new homes," Yrellea soon led these women to their new houses.

Azaroth also handed over 100 pellets to Yrellea. These were beautification and nourishing pellets.

Each of these pellets would remove the impurities from the woman's body and turn her skin extremely smooth.

Her physique would slowly begin to lean towards a woman's perfect figure, and her skin would slowly become fairer.

If Azaroth had mentioned this pill earlier, these women would accept his offer without any further thought.

All women loved their appearances and wished to enhance their beauty as much as they could. This pellet was something similar to a divine pellet for them.
