Chapter 443 Internal Sabotage

The man sent by Eden to carry out this scouting mission was named Cheng Ming.

He thought his life should be as famous as his name, especially in such a changing world where heroes emerged from chaos.

And now, he felt like he had really come across an opportunity to become a hero.

Listen up—helping two demons instigate a riot and then seizing control of all the demon resources in the city, not only would he take part in an epic battle fit to be written in history books, but there was also a good chance he’d earn recognition from the leader and rise to the top. At that point, what couldn’t he get—money, beauty, you name it?

At this moment, he felt his life was filled with splendid prospects.

However, he fell into a trap—initially treating Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan as humans and negotiating with them from a human standpoint, only to naturally treat them as demons once he “discovered” their true identities. According to the information Eden had, those demons seemed to have low IQs, even incapable of lying, which corroborated the earlier actions of those two demons. Their simplicity had led them to be deceived by humans, resulting in a painful price to pay.

This time, he planned to single-handedly change the impression these demons had of humans.

Thus, he didn’t doubt a word Ling Mo said and was brimming with confidence regarding the task given to him.

Of course, the most important thing was that after putting on the mask and pendant, the demons in the city really did change their attitude towards him—from the previous predatory gazes to expressions tinged with fear and retreat.

In fact, many demons turned and left upon seeing him, as if he had become a king—this alone proved that Ling Mo hadn’t lied to him and further strengthened the credibility of Ling Mo’s other words.

More importantly… realizing the strength of those demons, he now possessed the leverage to make these demons fear him. This enormous contrast easily led one to have thoughts they shouldn’t—put simply, he was getting a bit cocky.

Moreover, Ling Mo’s task was to create chaos in this city, so he felt there was no need for self-restraint; he should unleash himself and make the situation as beautiful as possible. The more spectacular the chaos, the more trust those two demons would place in him, increasing the likelihood of success.

As for the possibility of those two demons losing… he hadn’t even considered it—those two demons likely wished to rebel against that woman who later appeared. When that woman spoke to the two demons, he observed closely; her demonic aura was stronger, and even though she was decent-looking, she certainly couldn’t be mistaken for a human.

This proved that the woman hadn’t yet reached a level where she could conceal her aura—much like those two demons who looked completely human. Plus, that woman seemed quite naive, tricked by the male demon’s few words, losing interest in him; perhaps she even spared his life. Who knows what kind of tragic fate awaited him in her hands? At least he knew the attitude of those two demons now.

Simpler yet, could two against one possibly lose?

So he felt it would be ridiculously easy for those two demons to rebel. He considered himself merely a catalyst to spice things up, but if that catalyst worked well, he could reap huge benefits.

Thus, Cheng Ming was thrilled and immediately set off to carry out the task Ling Mo had assigned him after leaving.

He found some guy covered in boils who looked as dumb as a rock and said, “Hey! You! Yeah, you! Go fight that bald guy over there.”

The bald guy was a powerhouse demon, about 2.5 meters tall, all red, currently leaning against a car that had turned to scrap metal, curiously looking over after hearing the commotion, seemingly unaware Cheng Ming was talking about him.

And the boiled demon… what a coincidence, it was the Monster Fish.

It stared at Cheng Ming for a while, perplexed: “Why… do you want me to…”

“Stop yapping?!” Cheng Ming barked angrily, “You all better listen to me! Or you’ll die! I want you to fight it! Unless one of you dies, don’t stop!”

The boils on the Monster Fish trembled violently, as if about to burst at any moment.

It seemed bewildered by the identity of this person—he looked just like the Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan it had seen before, the aura matching, though the face was different… but Mom had said before that it must listen to them… so this guy should also be included, right?

Since Mom ordered it to listen to these guys, his command was effectively Mom’s command. If Mom said fight that bald guy, then…

In a tremendous uproar, the Monster Fish instantly transformed into its true form.

This startled Cheng Ming, who quickly jumped back a good distance, only to be splattered with acidic liquid from the transformation, causing him to scream in pain.

Damn! These demons really are bad luck!

As the bald demon sensed that the Monster Fish had hostility directed at him, he immediately grew tense. Before he could say anything, the Monster Fish suddenly spewed a massive amount of acid, instantly engulfing the area it occupied.

Then came a scene of bloody violence, rated eighteen plus.

Meanwhile, Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo were watching this spectacle from the rooftop of a building.

“These guys… really show no mercy,” Ling Mo frowned slightly, “Don’t they have any doubts about such nonsensical orders?”

Xia Xinyan’s expression was equally bewildered.

This could be called foolish loyalty.

It was also because these demons had low intelligence, needing no verification of identity; as long as someone looked like they followed orders, they could command… how should one put it, pitifully stupid.

Cheng Ming was indeed gifted; it didn’t take long for him to stir up chaos in the area, with demons battling everywhere. But as Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo watched, they failed to see a demon challenge Cheng Ming’s command—not even the many demons who couldn’t speak, who immediately acted upon hearing his orders.

Throughout it all, no demon turned their sights on Cheng Ming, which only inflated his confidence. In the end, he even issued a blanket order—

“All demons attack each other! To the death! Anyone who disagrees can go find the king! Whoever wins against the king can stop this!”

And thus, the entire city plunged into chaos.
