"..."
Old White Ape's eyelids twitched slightly. He drew a deep breath and silently stepped twice to the right, yielding the boulder.
"Now that's how a humble junior should behave."
Fat Old Man nodded in satisfaction and dragged his corpulent body over with considerable effort. He sat on the boulder right in front of Old White Ape, then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh?"
"It's still warm!"
"How thoughtful!"
Old White Ape politely lowered his head slightly. "You flatter me by calling me humble. It's only what this lowly demon should do."
"Heh..."
"I've always enjoyed doing good and accumulating virtue. Even when I eat, I only eat vegetarian food."
"But do you know why I'm targeting you?"
Fat Old Man pondered for a moment, then spoke softly.
Old White Ape shook his head slightly. "This lowly demon does not know."
"First, I just heard you bullying my junior, and that put me in a bad mood."
"Second, this is a rather big deal, but you're clearly here to get a cut, which naturally puts me in an even worse mood."
"Finally, I don't like you using the Demon God to pressure me..."
"You might not know me very well. Ever since I left Sin City, I've gotten used to living as I please. Even if a complete stranger says a single slightly heated word to me, I find it extremely grating."
"Mm, the Human Race generally calls that being precious."
"But I happen to like being precious. Tell me, I suffered for half my life and finally got a chance to enjoy myself. Now, would it be right for me to worry about this and that, get mocked, and grovel before others?"
Fat Old Man seemed to be recalling something. When he mentioned Sin City, he even sighed softly.
