Chapter 204: Impending war
“I have sided with them,” Damon Mouga uttered those words without any emotions, yet his eyes shone with killing intent.
He lifted his cup, slurping the tea, “I don’t work with those who want the Deathwill Castle, though.”
Sara bit her lips, “Did you really have to turn to them?”
Damon glanced into her eyes, which were opposite to his, “I can’t tell whether you are asking this out of goodwill or just because of the quest.
However, Sara Deathwill… The Berden Kingdom has no interest in developing me. They just keep me here as sacrificial forces. If I want to do something on my own, then I have to do the whole city and province’s overhaul.
The other nobles won’t let me do it. So… I can only team up with my friends and return to our lands. I think you can only agree with me here?” Damon smiled.
Sara’s heart jumped as she realized the meaning of those words. Besides Damon Mouga, a few other Deathwill Kingdom’s nobles had teamed up with the hungry demons.
Their goal was the Lost Kingdom.
‘That darkness is even intriguing to the hungry demons…’ Sara inwardly spoke.
This left Sara thinking seriously. Just what kind of power her father had used to teleport the whole castle to the soul grave-keeper’s lands? Would the King Of The Underworld know about it?
And as she thought about it, Damon relished the tea.
“Why would you side with the villains?” Sara then asked.
Damon replied immediately, “For the same reason you have given the quests to nearby players.”
“So you’ve noticed,” Sara shook her head with a faint smile.
In her stay here, Sara had gathered enough intel and allies. She knew that Damon had made quests with the villain guilds, so she offered the bodyguard quests to the surrounding players as well.
With her father’s money, Sara could afford that. She was in a good spot.
Damon jested, “Maybe I would’ve tried my luck to keep you here. You are so beautiful, after all.”
“Thank you for your compliment, but I would rather hear my beloved say it to me,” Sara brightly smiled.
“My apologies then,” Damon put down the tea, “As a sincere apology, I will reveal a big secret to you. The hungry demons plan to seize all kingdoms bordering The Lost Kingdom. This is their first big plan, and I have the honor of participating in it.
Sounds pretty epic, doesn’t it?” Damon smiled widely.
“It sure does, Mr. Mouga,” Sara smiled while inwardly confused.
She had an inkling that Damon Mouga was too good for her. It was fine for him to not go after Sara Deathwill as killing her wouldn’t bring back his father, nor he would avenge everyone with her death.
But that information was too precious… She couldn’t understand him. And with how good-willed he was, Sara had a reason to think of it as a trap.
Damon Mouga didn’t care about her thoughts. He bluntly asked, “I believe there’s nothing more to talk about, Sara Deathwill.
Many hungry demons have their eyes on your castle, but you shouldn’t worry too much about them. If anything, the Deathwill Castle is a future project. If the hungry demons’ generals can’t process the darkness, how a mere group can find your home?”
“I will keep those words in mind,” Sara stood up. She bowed gently to the noble, then left the office.
Many players had their eyes on her. After signaling to them that she was fine, Sara utilized her NPC System, gifting the reward to all her bodyguards.
She then disappeared into the bustling crowd.

“We are so lucky, aren’t we? If she met with Reigner, he would’ve immediately assailed her,” A man with red eyes appeared in Damon Mouga’s office.
He looked as perfect as the demon Alex had met in the Wolfen Demon’s soul. He took a seat on the sofa, fishing out a glass of wine from his inventory.
Damon Mouga glanced in his direction, “You are lucky. I don’t even know what kind of plan you have toward Deathwill. Are you really fine with me telling her this information?”
“We need them three here,” the demon replied after tasting his wine, “Alexander Deathwill has three wives. If they all join our fun, we will have more chances to impose a fear onto his heart.
And after he loses one of them, he will side with us,” he explained.
Damon Mouga gazed at the demon with many more questions in his heart. Alas, he was in a similar situation to Wolfen Demon. He was just one of many paws that could evolve or become a sacrifice.
However, this was much better than being locked in the Berden Kingdom. He became immortal, and his strength kept going up. Damon Mouga and his family would survive and devour others in the war with kingdoms! He had much more options here.
They would become victors. And if they were to fail, Damon Mouga would face his father with shame.
Damon whispered, “Is his successor worth this much attention?”
The demon nodded, “I know that you don’t want to have anything with them… but Elias Deathwill created a legendary class… That alone is enough to give him our special attention.
And from our experience, we know that it is better to draw legendary classes in their early stages… Otherwise, there’s a chance that they become traitors,” his eyes shone with killing intent, giving goosebumps to Damon.
Damon saw more than just composure in the hungry demon general for the first time ever.
‘So you have been betrayed a few times,’ Damon Mouga inferred inwardly, not daring to say those words loud.
The demon chuckled, “But I have to say, you did a good job leading the conversation. This will leave her with questions.”
Damon faintly smiled, “I might hate Deathwill and that bastard, but he had a good eye for women. It’s the same with the book.
You read a book for content, not for an author. But in some cases, the surname might be too unbearable.”
“You blame yourself more than Elias, don’t you?” the demon shook his head.
“I guess I do,” Damon sighed.
