Mengka's Excitement

"Bang!"

Alora was suddenly grabbed by the neck by Mengka and slammed to the ground, her mouth wide open, looking extremely uncomfortable.

"Tell me, what exactly is your purpose?" Mengka demanded angrily.

Although he was very concerned about the news, he was more worried about being plotted against by a villain and stabbed in the back. At that time, dying would be truly humiliating!

Alora didn't speak, but instead looked tenderly at the large hand on her neck with her alluring, peach-blossom-like eyes.

"Snort"

Mengka snorted coldly and moved his hand away. He had made up his mind that if the other party could not give him an explanation, he would kill him here.

"Cough cough cough~"

After Alora stood up, she coughed a few times in a mocking manner, then, in her nauseatingly seductive voice, said with a hint of reproach, "Lord Mengka is quite rude, isn't he?"

Mengka did not continue to look directly at Alora. If such a seductive gesture were performed by a female Charm Demon, he would gladly accept it and might even take it a step further.

But... the key lies in...

"This guy's a man!" Mengka's fist clenched, almost wanting to punch again.

"Hehe~" Alora covered her mouth and chuckled, but did not continue to provoke the Demon Commander Mengka, who was on the verge of exploding.

She said in a pretentious manner, "Lord Mengka, I came here specifically to seek refuge with you. How could you treat me like this? It's really..." and then she looked like she was about to cry.

"Join my cause?" Mengka turned to look at Alora with a puzzled expression, subconsciously ignoring the latter's effeminate and perverted behavior.

The term "defection" doesn't apply to the Demon Commander, or even to the Evil Clan of the same level.

Here, they are all each other's food, their relationship consisting only of predation and being preyed upon. It is more common for lower-ranking individuals to be loyal to higher-ranking individuals.

On the one hand, lower-level beings have far less Evil Qi and power compared to higher-level beings, and the latter disdain to devour them.

At the same time, high-level Evil Clan need a group of henchmen to run errands, while low-level Evil Clan seek the protection of the strong. It is a win-win situation for both sides.

"Aren't you afraid I'll just devour you?" Mengka asked unfriendly, even subconsciously glancing at Alora, who seemed to be cooperating with him by twisting her body.

That posture... Mengka's stomach churned, and he instantly averted his gaze.

"Then it just proves that they misjudged you." Alora spoke calmly, as if this matter of life and death was as simple as eating and drinking.

"After all, those three are watching this place, aren't they?" As she spoke, Alora sat down on the ground again, casually trimming her nails.

"Those three are nothing but clowns!" Mengka laughed sarcastically. He was quite qualified to speak on this matter. Mengka could confidently say that he could easily take on all three of them, provided, of course, that they were willing to fight him.

Having all grown to the level of Demon Commander, they have each built their own forces into an impregnable fortress. At the slightest sign of trouble, they can immediately flee. This is why, despite their vastly different strengths, none of them have been able to devour the other.

There's some old geezer above them keeping things under control, and they can't catch anyone themselves, so they can only live in peace like this.

"Hmm..." Alora nodded. "If it's just the three of them, it's definitely not enough."

"However..." The tone shifted, the alluring voice carrying a hint of mockery, "What if they successfully devour that lord?"

"Oh?"

"Haha... hahahaha~" Mengka paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

After a short while, Mengka stopped. "You mean... just that pittance? Hmph, I thought you could bring me some valuable information, but it turns out... this is all?"

His tone was disdainful; in Mengka's view, such behavior was utter wishful thinking and a path to certain death.

"Oh?" Alora didn't seem to care, but frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "So Lord Mengka doesn't know about the impending death of the one now? Perhaps I should go and pay a visit to that fool Ge Xiusi."

"What?" Mengka was instantly flustered and quickly stood up, asking, "How did you know that old man was about to die?"

There is a significant difference between being about to die and being near death; the former means only a couple of days left to live, while the latter means having a few more years to breathe.

This kind of information is absolutely confidential, how could an ordinary person know it? And he really didn't know. Mengka had to find out the source of Alora's information.

He now understood why those three dared to target that person. If that person was so weak, and if they planned ahead, they could very well succeed!

When that time comes, they will devour that one, and may soon reach their own level, with unimaginable consequences.

"Huh?" Alora chuckled wickedly, rubbing her chin. "Of course I found out! Although Ge Xiusi is cautious, this matter isn't a secret that can be kept hidden forever. Such things really can't be kept quiet in that person's palace."

Mengka was extremely remorseful. Many Demon Commander liked to plant spies in the Demon King's palace, Ge Xiusi, that treacherous villain, and Alora in front of him were the best at this.

He alone, who considered himself invincible below the Demon King in strength, was prepared to peacefully take over the reins. His disdain for such a thing backfired spectacularly, and he suffered a great loss as a result.

"You said you came to seek refuge with me?" Realizing what had happened, Mengka asked somewhat urgently, as this guy was indeed quite useful.

"Of course," Alora affirmed, then chuckled softly, her eyes narrowing slightly. "What, Lord Mengka, are you suddenly remembering my usefulness?"

Mengka is a typical example of someone who only has muscles but no brains. Under normal circumstances, this would be fine, since strength is paramount. But now things have exceeded his expectations, so naturally he's starting to panic.

"Yes," Mengka promised through gritted teeth, "If you help me now, you'll be the strongest person under me from now on, how about it?"

This is clearly a big bet. Mengka may be reckless, but he's not stupid. As long as he maintains his lead in first place, that's enough.

The second strongest person would have no impact on him whatsoever; in fact, this person might even become a powerful general in his hands. Why not?

"Is it true, sir?" As Mengka had expected, Alora showed great enthusiasm for his promise, which made him laugh inwardly.

"Of course it's true," Mengka assured him confidently. "Isn't my reputation trustworthy?"

Hehe~

"Where does the Demon Commander get his credibility?"

Alora sneered inwardly. But... as long as the goal is achieved, that's enough.

Although inwardly disdainful, Alora still feigned delight and quickly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty Mengka's reputation is naturally trustworthy."

"Hahaha~" Hearing Alora's words, Mengka was overjoyed. Now that Alora had called herself his subordinate, this time it was all set!

The thought that once he devoured that one, he could also glimpse the realm of the Demon King, and perhaps even advance further, made Mengka's heart start pounding uncontrollably.
