Tony pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and casually tossed it to General Ross. General Ross barely managed to regain some composure before putting the phone to his ear.
"General, you've been relieved of duty. Prepare to stand trial before a military court."
General Ross's expression changed drastically. "Mr. President, you can't dismiss me!"
The President's cold voice came from the other end of the line. "We just held an emergency meeting. This was a unanimous decision by all the legislators. We're all watching you right now."
General Ross stared pale-faced at the camera not far away. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.
"This country nearly became history because of you. Now withdraw your troops, General Ross." The President issued the order again.
"Yes."
General Ross answered weakly. His hand, still holding the phone, drooped limply, and it was as if he had lost all his energy in an instant.
"How did you convince the President?" Kino asked.
"Because of you, of course. You summoned a demon in front of everyone and displayed such overwhelming power. Who would dare offend you?
"Hell used to be nothing more than superstition, but you've proven that it exists. A lot of people can no longer count on making it to Heaven. All they can hope for is to suffer a little less in Hell." Tony explained.
Kino hadn't expected Hell to have such a use.
"Kino, Kino..."
An anxious voice called out. It was Uncle George, who hurried over to Kino.
"Mary just called me and said Gwen had gone missing. She might be somewhere nearby. Can you help me look for her?!"
He hadn't been able to get through to Gwen, so he could only place his hopes in Kino.
Although Kino's identity had now become that of a demon king, Uncle George knew the boy's personality well enough to believe he wouldn't hurt her.
Gwen, standing nearby, stiffened when she heard that and quietly hid behind Kino, afraid of being recognized.
"Gwen? Uncle George, don't worry. I saw her when I came over. I had Butler Frank take her back to my manor. I was in a hurry to come rescue people, so I didn't notify you." Kino comforted him.
"That's good. I'm going to find Mary. Gwen's sudden disappearance must have frightened her."
George breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "I can't control what you kids do anymore, but until Gwen graduates, I don't want to become a grandfather. Understand?"
"I understand. Goodbye, Uncle George."
After saying goodbye to George, Kino suddenly reached out and grabbed Gwen by the arm.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Home, of course." Gwen was a little flustered.
"At a time like this, you should be at my manor. You don't want your uncle and aunt to find out your true identity, do you?"
"You... I understand."
She actually had no objection to moving in. It was just that Kino already had two lovers, and she would feel awkward going there.
"Gwen, sleep with me tonight!"
Pamela was quite happy. Tonight, Kino belonged to someone else.
"Okay, Sister Pamela."
Yū spoke up at this moment. "Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, we'll head back first."
"Alright. Thanks for your hard work today. Is there anything you want?" Kino asked.
"It's our honor to serve Your Majesty."
Yū knew very well that her current status had all been bestowed upon her by His Majesty.
"Ah, I want some wine. Is that okay?"
Mora was rather direct about it.
"Alright. I'll give you some tomorrow."
After sending Yū and Mora away, Tony came over.
"Kino, are all the female demons in Hell this fierce? I'm starting to look forward to going to Hell."
Kino was speechless. "You're really starving. You won't even spare demons."
"Don't talk about me. I heard everything you said just now. Apart from her, plus the two you already had, that makes three." Tony raised his eyebrows with a lecherous grin.
He's right. You really aren't picky at all.
Kino glared at Tony. "Don't make things up. It's not what you think."
Tony chuckled. "Give it up. Don't bother explaining. But speaking of which, your luck with women is absurdly good. I don't know what this one looks like, but the previous two were both stunning beauties."
"Enough about me. Haven't you found that traitor yet?" Kino changed the subject.
"No."
"Or is it that you found him but don't dare admit it? There are only a few people who could bypass you and sell weapons privately."
With Jarvis's help, it was easy for Tony to investigate a few people. It only depended on whether he wanted to.
"Give me a little more time."
Tony sighed. He did know, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.
"Give me your hand."
Kino thought for a moment and decided to give him some insurance. He pressed a red pattern into Tony's palm.
"Whoa, what's this? I don't have a habit of getting tattoos." Before Tony could examine it closely, the pattern in the center of his palm vanished.
"A mark. If you're ever in danger, it'll send me your coordinates. I'll come rescue you. This world is becoming more and more dangerous, and I don't want to attend your funeral one day." Kino explained.
The mark of Hell could open a portal to rescue its bearer whenever they encountered danger.
When there was no fighting, he didn't want to possess Superman's powers. Otherwise, this world would be too fragile, like it was made of paper.
"That's a pretty sappy mark, but thanks."
Tony knew that with this mark, as long as he wasn't killed instantly, his friends would be able to save him.
"You're welcome."
After saying goodbye to Tony, Kino set off for the manor with Gwen and Pamela.
Blonsky and Banner came along as well, and they were settled in a house next to the manor.
Banner had originally wanted to leave, but Kino said he could separate him from Hulk. Whether it was true or not, Banner wanted to give it a try.
That night, Gwen soaked in the bathroom, lost in thought. Although she had visited this manor several times, it was her first time staying the night.
A lot had happened today. She had many questions she wanted to ask Kino, but she didn't know where to begin—or what identity she should use to ask them.
And this world... Why had monsters that surpassed all common sense suddenly appeared? She had only wanted to use her powers to fight crime or something. No one had said she would have to fight monsters like these.
Just as Gwen was sinking into distress, she heard the door open.
"Whoa, how did you get in... Sister Pamela?"
Gwen shrieked and ducked into the pool, only to realize that the person who had entered was Pamela. But she soon froze.
Pamela's red hair hung loose around her shoulders. Her body was bare, displaying the allure of a mature woman, her full figure, and her long legs.
Gwen couldn't compare with her at all.
"What's wrong? Did you think your sweetheart had barged in?"
Pamela rinsed herself clean and stepped into the bath.
"No."
Gwen came back to her senses and awkwardly covered her chest.
Seeing Gwen's shy expression, Pamela giggled softly. "Don't be so nervous. Your sweetheart wouldn't barge in. He belongs to Sister Venom tonight."
