Chapter 1996 - 540: It’s Not Just Bats That Sneak Snacks

Thunder City, the living room of Colin Manor, the expensive velvet sofa was currently enduring unwarranted torture.

Holding a ruffled pillow, Vivian turned herself into a grumpy caterpillar.

She was seen rolling back and forth on the spacious sofa, sometimes crawling gloomily, or making strange noises that scared the manor's maids from approaching.

After all, she was a "monster" of Platinum Level, anyone would feel intimidated.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so mad, so mad!"

The fox-eared maid timidly placed the refilled red tea down, before quickly retreating from the living room that had become a battlefield.

Just as she left, Vivian leapt up from the sofa, her feet clad in black knee-high socks stomping wildly on the pillow, as if the battered, misshapen "rag" was someone two hundred kilometers away.

Ten minutes ago, while arguing with Mia, Vivian suddenly felt a flutter in her heart, a fierce and rapid heartbeat dashed into her Sea of Consciousness, causing her cheeks to spontaneously blush.

This was clearly not because of Padric Demon's tricks, the self-proclaimed "mature and elegant" Mia never voluntarily used Spiritual Attack, usually resorting only when unable to cope.

Clearly—

The strong feeling came from her Beloved, the eagerness to share joy with the world made her jealous to the point of madness.

Her heart was crazily pounding "thump thump thump"!

This was an utter humiliation!

"That white-haired fox spirit… heart racing so fast, must have done something bad!"

Vivian muttered through clenched teeth, and finally, the sofa emitted a groan unable to bear the weight, collapsing amidst the stormy trampling.

On the other side of the living room, Mia in her robe leaned on a single-seater sofa, her white slender legs naturally crossed.

She held a thick pile of paper, calmly flipped a page, her gaze focused yet dispersed, serious yet clear, with an earnestness detached from worldly affairs.

Watching Vivian scream and sink into the pile of goose feathers, her brow twitched slightly, but she restrained her impulse to act rudely, instead gently yawning.

"Does the vampire from Colin Family have nothing else to do besides shouting?"

Really a shameless little brat.

Unlike the vampire from Colin Family, Mia was a Demon with a proper job. For instance, at this moment, she was reading the business proposal Nana offered her.

Kaylee's performance in "Bell Sound" caused a reaction in Thunder City far exceeding expectations, from aristocratic salons to taverns and cafes in the New Industrial Zone, everyone was discussing the moving love story and vehemently criticizing the feudal poison brought by the Aus Empire to this land.

Undoubtedly, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Inspired by Lady Antonie, Mia was contemplating expanding her investment in the Iris Flower Theater Troupe, adding fuel to this flame!

She would not only have Enchanting Demons from Demon City perform on the Human World's stage, but also teach the nobles of Thunder City the art of charm, sending more talented individuals to the stage!

They would bring the creativity of Thunder City citizens, spreading the local thriving culture across the Northeast Shore of Vortex Sea, and along the entire coast of Vortex Sea!

Then, the surname Padric would become a legend in the literary world!

All stars worshipped by millions would regard Miss Yaya Mitiya as the "Godfather" and bow to her whims!

Hehehe!

Just the thought of it makes one delighted!

Mia felt joyful thinking this, finding the job far more interesting than being the director of Demon King Management Department, only it's a pity Nana's paper was truly esoteric.

But that's okay.

She could wait for her beloved to return, let that all-knowing person explain it directly.

Back in Demon King Academy, it was the same, the tough challenges she couldn't resolve for an entire day, Lorian would often explain thoroughly in one sentence.

Struggling to get up from the remnants of the sofa, Vivian's gaze fiercely landed on Mia, much like a fluffed-up cat.

"You… really not worried at all?"

Mia said lazily.

"Worried? Worried about what?"

"Kukuku…" Seeing the uninformed Padric Demon, Vivian suddenly calmed down, lightly covering her slightly upturned lips yet unable to conceal the evil grin, "I see, no wonder Miss Padric is so calm, turns out our dear Hell Intelligence Bureau Deputy Chief knows nothing."

Though the situation with the Hero was worrying, if the greatest threat, Padric Demon, could be defeated, Vivian could swallow her pride and cooperate with humans for a while.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that, dear Miss Colin," Mia's eyes squinted slightly, closing the files and setting them on her lap, "perhaps you should explain, what exactly was it that made you act so insane just now?"

In the past, Vivian definitely wouldn't comply, but now it's "wartime status".

"Erin is back!"

"And then?" Mia replied indifferently, she was already aware of Erin's situation.

Lorian had written every detail in the work report, including how he succeeded, she clearly saw it all from the rear.
