Chapter 1881 - 517: Mia Shows Her True Skills Upon Entering the Maze (Part 3)

Moreover, he believes that the young man who "lives a life that even he envies" will not be easily led astray by the corrupt atmosphere of the Melusine Family.

"Let me think... Ah, what a coincidence. Speaking of which, the Hell Intelligence Bureau has a completely new strategic deployment in the works recently."

Karamos stood up with a "whiz," sauntering to the edge of the garden, hands behind his back, gazing at the red mist beyond the barrier.

The morbid aura dissipated, his tone becoming professional and serious, as if standing in the Demon God's Cabinet, discussing Hell's future with the five other ministers.

"... The eastern part of the Old Continent has always been a blind spot for our intelligence network, and recently there seems to be constant turmoil there, with even the 'Power Angel' descending. To address our intelligence shortcomings in the area, the Hell Intelligence Bureau plans to establish an intelligence station on the northeast shore of the Vortex Sea to clarify the situation there, rather than relying entirely on the Demon King Management Department's reports."

"Raine City in the Campbell Duchy is an excellent candidate; I've heard the economy there has been thriving lately, with frequent movement of personnel, and even the demons from the maze can walk under the sun. Most critically... due to the ambitious reforms initiated by the local duke, the influence of the church has been weakened, allowing us to focus more on infiltrating the human world without constantly guarding against the Holy Light!"

"If we establish a station in Raine City, we can safely spread our influence to the northeast shore of the Vortex Sea and use it as a springboard to further infiltrate the eastern heartlands of the Aus Continent where we've been unable to penetrate effectively."

With this, he turned and smiled at Mr. Feis Ting.

"This substation is crucial, and the choice of stationmaster must be meticulously considered. Especially since there is a formidable demon king in that region, handling the relationships between Demon City and local forces is paramount."

"Given Mia's experience over the past three years with the Demon King Management Department and her close affiliations with the region's upper echelons, the Intelligence Bureau has decided to specially appoint her as the 'Chief Investigator stationed at the northeast shore of the Vortex Sea,' responsible for the construction of the intelligence station in that region."

"What do you think about this arrangement?"

The reasoning was logically sound, with ample justification, and even the format was neatly organized, akin to a report at the Hell Intelligence Bureau's quarterly working meetings.

Seeing Karamos' serious expression, even the composed face of Mr. Feis Ting involuntarily showed a hint of surprise.

As a senior member of the Upper House, he might not have many connections within the intelligence system, but he is well aware of such significant strategic moves.

Yet, such a major strategic deployment was not even whispered to him beforehand.

"When... was this decided?"

Facing the astonished Mr. Feis Ting, Karamos' lips curled into a mysterious smile.

"Just now."

...

Though there is no shortage of positions in Demon City, none are superfluous.

Usually, noble demons looking for advancement seek opportunities within existing positions or explore gaps within the system.

However, the Melusine Family is evidently not an ordinary noble demon family. Faced with an old friend's request, Karamos waved his hand grandly, approving a whole batch on the spot.

The entire intelligence system of Demon City started operating at high intensity to address the promotion of Miss Padric—or rather, to fill the intelligence void in the northeast shore of the Vortex Sea.

Even Prince Caesar Colin, the Military Minister, felt puzzled, as he hadn't recently suggested any confrontations with humans on the earth's surface.

At the same time, the "happy news" from the maze in Thunder County reached the Demon King Academy, stirring waves.

The senior named Luo Yan, known as the "Human Tamer," not only transformed the mess left by the former demon king into a wealthy dreamland but also reinstated tributes to Demon City.

And their esteemed Mia senior accomplished far more, managing to win over Luo Yan senior and opened an upward path to the maze in Thunder County for them!

The grand hall of the Demon King Academy, where Luo Yan once attended the graduation ceremony.

The eerie ancient castle surrounded by lava now burns with ambition and impatience hotter than the magma itself.

A massive banner hangs in the center of the hall, emblazoned with fiery demonic script declaring—"Thunder County Maze Management Trainees Recruitment, Now Hiring!"

The entire student body of the Demon King Academy boiled over with excitement, especially those graduating this summer.

For these young lads and lassies, this job not only means hefty remuneration but also adds a layer of shining gold to their resumes!

The well-informed demon second generations see further, having grown up familiar with Demon City's upper echelons.

Who in the high society doesn't know about the dance at Miss Padric's coming-of-age banquet?

Getting familiarity with the future son-in-law of the Padric family is far more important than any resume or dossier!

Regardless of their motivations, a long line formed at the recruitment desk. While demons still indulge in debauchery, not one is willing to go to the front lines as a demon king, but everyone knows Luo Yan is not ordinary, and Thunder County's maze is not at the front; it's the ideal place for honing skills!

Sitting behind the recruitment desk was a clerk wearing thick-rimmed glasses, hailing from the Padric family-controlled Ministry of Internal Affairs.
