This was his first time coming so close to the power center of Hell, as he stared at the Demon God Statue in the Ministry of Internal Affairs square, he couldn't help but involuntarily hold his breath.

Perhaps—

the opportunity to stand out was right before his eyes.

No one wanted to be a mercenary for life, him included... In fact, that was one of the reasons he was reluctant to leave Demon City and seek more lucrative opportunities at the front lines.

Soon, a demon flapping its wings landed in front of him, sized him up and then spoke.

"Are you Sano Black Hand?"

"Indeed, I am... Lord Demon King sent me here, may I ask if there are any procedures that need to be completed?" Sano replied solemnly.

Grien smiled, and spoke with a pleasant demeanor.

"All procedures have been taken care of, you need not worry... By the way, this is the employment contract, you may leave once you confirm there are no issues."

As he spoke, he magically produced an employment contract from his hand as if by magic, elegantly extending it forward.

The hurried signature and still-warm ink made it clear that this contract had just been drafted.

At that moment, Sano was completely unaware of the malevolence of the demon before him, merely surprised at how efficient the Ministry of Internal Affairs had become.

Accepting the employment contract from Grien's hand, he carefully checked all terms and then without hesitation, pressed his thumbprint on it.

"What's next?"

Sano handed one copy of the contract back to the demon in front of him, his voice carrying a tone of urgency.

"Lord Demon King wishes for me to head to his territory immediately, how do we proceed? Do you have any arrangements?"

Although he had never been to the Great Graveyard, he had heard of that place, supposedly separated from Hell by an entire Vast Ocean and a Vortex Sea.

Such a great distance, neither walking nor sailing would be practical, it would be best to harness the power of magic.

Upon hearing his words, Grien's face indeed showed a bright smile, continuing pleasantly.

"Ah, rest assured, we have a Teleportation Array here that directly reaches the Demon King Territory. If you are ready, we can depart now."

"Now?"

Sano hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Isn't that a bit rushed?"

Although the Demon King told him to depart immediately, he never imagined that 'immediately' meant right after signing the contract.

He had originally thought he might travel with the Demon King.

"Yes, the staff at the teleportation station will clock out in two hours, there's no problem before then." Grien glanced at his wristwatch, "If you plan to stay here for a night, that's possible too, but be prepared, the accommodations here are very poor."

Sano had a feeling that something was not quite right, but couldn't pinpoint what exactly.

"Let's do it now then... I hope you have everything arranged."

Hearing the beastman's response, Grien's smile grew even brighter.

"Rest assured, someone will be there to meet you once you arrive."

With that, he snapped his fingers, summoning a Little Demon previously hidden, and instructed him.

"Please escort our guest to the teleportation station, bound for the Great Graveyard."

"Giggity, understood!" The Little Demon cackled, and then flapping its wings, flew in front of Sano, "Please follow me, sir."

The unsettling feeling inside him intensified.

Sano even began to regret, wondering if he had agreed to depart too hastily?

But now it seemed too late for regrets.

Leading a group of his followers, he followed behind the Little Demon, arriving at a teleportation station adjacent to the storage area of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The majestic and solemn structure somewhat dissipated the unreliable emotions in Sano's heart, and he stepped through the grand archway with a confident stride.

With his elite warriors standing on the central point of the Teleportation Array, Sano took a deep breath and said to the casting Demon.

"I am ready."

The Demon caster didn't look at him, but expertly began to chant the Spell, activating the array.

As a green light appeared in the center of the Magic Array, twisting magic power instantly opened an elliptical gate of teleportation.

The group of beastmen standing on the Teleportation Array, like small boats sucked into a vortex, quickly disappeared above the array.

Watching the commotion in front of the Teleportation Array of the beastmen soldiers, the Demon spellcaster said emotionlessly.

"Next batch, move quicker."

The beastmen soldiers continued toward the teleportation gate.

With flashes of light twinkling, these young fellows entered the subspace channel, heading towards an unknown destination.

The reason it's called an unknown destination is of course because the Great Graveyard is situated in the interference zone of the Gate of Chaos, and any subspace channel passing through this area will be forcefully twisted by the "Currents beneath the Vortex" to the other side of the Gate of Chaos.

Watching the disappearing backs of the beastmen youths, Grien unashamedly made a gesture of resignation and then left the teleportation station.

Meanwhile, not far from him, the Lord of Evil Demon Castle, Walsh, was watching the direction of the Teleportation Array with great interest, stroking his chin and saying.

"Five hundred beastmen youths... tsk, the Demon King really is ruthless."

He knew a bit about the internal situation.

Including the chaos that interrupted the duel between Luo Yan and Xino, and the presence of the Gate of Chaos, which distorts subspace travel.
