Golden light surged like ocean waves, drowning all the red-and-green poisonous gas.
A shrill voice rang out from within.
"Ah! His Excellency will never let you go!"
"I'll be waiting for you underground!"
Accompanied by that piercing howl, the red-and-green mist was completely ground away by the golden light.
The great hall fell utterly silent. Every Demon King stood mute as cicadas in winter, not daring to utter a single word.
As the golden light faded, Great Ape King's expression remained icy. When his gaze fell upon Mouse Little Brother, however, a trace of warmth appeared.
"Golden-Furred Mouse Demon King, you have done very well!"
"This time, you exposed a lurking spy and eliminated a massive hidden danger within the alliance."
"What reward do you seek?"
"I wouldn't dare. To serve Your Majesty is the fortune of three lifetimes. How could I dare ask for a reward?"
Mouse Little Brother wore a sincere expression as he gazed fervently at Great Ape King, his eyes filled with admiration.
Within the Monster Path, the strong devoured the weak. The weak survived by clinging to the strong—this was their order.
Many things humans found unimaginable were perfectly ordinary among the demon race.
Great Ape King looked at him, his expression turning solemn.
"Without rules, nothing can be made square or round. Great merit must be rewarded."
"My Monster Path has never mistreated its own."
"Golden-Furred Mouse Demon King, receive your appointment!"
"Yes, Golden-Furred Mouse is here!" Mouse Little Brother hurriedly dropped to his knees and kowtowed.
"I hereby appoint you Roving General of the Yang Province Demon Race Alliance."
"You have only one duty: lay eyes and ears throughout Yang Province for me, and gather intelligence on every Dao Lineage."
"You answer to me alone. Other than me, no one may command you."
