"Then... how do we catch it?"

Mia's cheeks grew increasingly hot.

The more Luo Yan knew, the more she felt as if her classes at Demon King Academy were wasted, and increasingly felt unworthy of him.

This feeling had intensified ever since Luo Yan became a council member like her father; perhaps only Miss Vivian would be worthy of him...

No way!

Even if the Colin family had no objections, it would still be too strange!

Even for the future of Demon City and Hell, the Padric family cannot stand by and do nothing... Yes, my presence here must be the arrangement of Lord Demon God!

Mia, momentarily plunged into despondency, revitalized for mysterious reasons, her eyes sparkling brilliantly.

Luo Yan was pleased with her seriousness, and in a straightforward manner continued speaking.

"There are just two cores."

"Firstly, locate the class truly in possession of information, and make sure your pawns blend in with them, becoming one among them. Secondly, make your pawns forget their primary tasks, and devote all their energies into surface operations."

Gathering news from the drunkards in taverns is pointless; they themselves are just chives, drinking watered-down beer, advancing through the haze of life.

To genuinely gather intelligence, at least find those capable of buying property in Demon City; only fools mingle with those powerless, unprivileged citizens.

Frankly speaking, in this aspect, Hell indeed pales in comparison to the Aus Empire; at least in the Empire, "going to Hell" is an insult, and no matter how the human nobles mess around, they rarely consider Hell a fallback option, at most they mutually exploit the demons in Earth Surface affairs.

The goblins of Demon City always believe the Empire cannot infiltrate Hell; it's because their intelligence cannot possibly comprehend the concept of "informant."

They think you must stand in a dark alley, raise your collar to exchange whisperings, swap sealed documents, and bringing Hell's 'daily affairs' to Holy City is what an 'informant' does.

Or at least like Mr. Harvey and Earl Derek, secretly erect a demon sculpture at home, regularly connect to be considered an 'informant.'

As for linking interests with the families of Imperial Holy City, making choices based on 'personal interests' when needed is not considered an 'informant.'

But rather called the most revered Meilusi.

If one day Prince Colin truly loses his mind, insisting on attacking Earth Surface, while Meilusi and his old friends in the Cabinet fail to restrain the lunatic...

Then the goblins of Demon City will see where the Empire's 'informants' are.

The intelligence that can cool down Prince Colin just right will naturally lay on Baron Mitiya's desk.

How to utilize this intelligence, whether to secretly publish it or let some patrolling Knight coincidentally find it, Baron Mitiya will freely decide.

The intelligence system on the Northeast Shore of Vortex Sea is also constructed on the same logic.

And to connect the demons from Demon City with the upper class of Thunder City, first you must obtain a ticket into Thunder City's elite society.

There are many methods.

Such as in Holy City, art is a good gateway.

And in Thunder City, certainly it can be too.

Mia blinked, listened attentively, noted every word down, then nodded in understanding but with a hint of confusion said.

"So that's how it is..."

Feeling like she learned something.

Luo Yan knew she didn't understand.

Not understanding was just right.

Everyone has seen sparrows fly, but not many can fly like sparrows.

"Don't worry."

Luo Yan took a sip of his tea, looking at Mia who seemed to understand superficially and said.

"I've already arranged everything for you, you just need to stamp it. As for the dirty work and laborious tasks, 'professionals' will certainly handle them."

The dim light cast on his calm face, Mia felt her heartbeat sway along with the wick in the oil lamp.

A sweet emotion dissolved in her chest, like hot soup bubbling away, unraveling all her unsolvable worries.

Indeed—

No trouble this man cannot solve.

Mia's cheeks slightly warmed, perhaps this too is Lord Demon God's guidance.

...

The vampire of the Colin family slept soundly tonight, soft bedding letting out wildcat-like snores, from dusk all the way to dawn.

A whole day without touching the ground truly exhausted physical energy, especially under the condition of sealed Extraordinary Power.

Thanks to Lord Demon King's wisdom, the servants of Colin Manor also slept peacefully, unafraid of heart attacks from sneaky shadows.

However, some people had a good night's sleep, others couldn't sleep.

Such as Kaylee and Nana from Demon City.

They felt as though sold off pigs to the Great Maze by the Padric family, the surrounding scent was unsettling.

"Sis... can we still go home?"

In the eerie dark little room, Nana, tears in her eyes, looked at her sister, who tightly clasped her hand, feigning calmness with a gentle tone comforting.

"Y-Yes, we definitely will."

Though until now Miss Vivian Colin, undefeated across Demon City, hasn't come to drain them, they feel it's just a matter of time.

Just then, as expected, they heard the scuffling footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of knocking.

"Hey, are you in there? Anyone home? Oh! You're sitting in the dark."

The door wasn't locked, Mi Xi knocked twice and surprisingly opened the door.

As the door creaked open, she quickly put her hands behind her back, going through the motions of whistles off-key, pretending not to have intentionally seen something she shouldn't have.
