"Am I right, Mr. Luo Yan?"

Feeling the heavy pressure on his heart dissipate, Luo Yan took a deep breath and stood up again, speaking calmly, with a casual smile appearing on his face.

"Of course."

"The Gana Continent is too far from the Great Graveyard, far beyond the limits that my jurisdiction and resources can cover. I am just sharing the information I have, fulfilling my duty as a Hell Senator... I never intended to get involved in this matter from the start."

"Is that so? That's really a pity. I thought you were the most suitable candidate. I even considered... whether to transfer you from Thunder County over there." Karamos, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly interjected, watching Luo Yan with a smile, his expression seemingly genuinely regretful.

Luo Yan coughed lightly.

"That might be inconvenient... The Maze in Thunder County cannot do without me."

"Haha, I'm just joking. I don't have the power to interfere with Lord Demon God's will," Karamos quipped, looking at Luo Yan, he continued, "Then... as compensation for my regret, can you recommend someone who you think is more suitable?"

All eyes focused on Luo Yan again, including Goliath, who had just turned his gaze away.

Looking at the smiling Karamos, Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This person who usually keeps a low profile might be the most cunning one at this conference table.

However—

He didn't have a reason to refuse.

After all, this decision was actually in his best interest.

Moreover, having him recommend the candidate for the Demon King was Karamos's way of extending goodwill.

"I actually have a candidate in mind."

Everything was just like in the script, Luo Yan continued unhurriedly.

"This person graduated from the Demon King Academy, the same year as I did, and is impeccable in both knowledge and capability, as well as character."

"Furthermore, over the past year, he has been training at the grassroots level, performing excellently with strong organizational and disciplinary abilities, along with sufficient independent judgment."

In good conscience, Luo Yan was speaking these words with a guilty conscience.

But it wasn't entirely a lie.

For Egger to survive on the chaotic frontlines with his slight build, he must have some unknown skills.

Let's leave it at that!

"You aren't thinking of recommending Miss Mia Padric, are you?" An opposing senator suddenly teased, giving a glance at Feistin that was full of obvious mockery, "If that's the case, I think you'd better go yourself."

Feistin's expression remained unchanged.

He seemed to have anticipated this scenario today, which is why he hadn't mentioned his daughter's name that evening, instead recommending a complete outsider.

These demons all seem to have a thousand schemes.

On the surface, he leveraged them, but perhaps he was also being leveraged by them.

However...

What does it matter?

Under the watchful eyes filled with their own intentions, Luo Yan steadied himself and then slowly spoke the words he had long prepared.

"Of course not."

"Miss Mia is also very excellent, but I think the esteemed Priest Goliath would not be satisfied with my nomination of someone 'completely inexperienced in frontline combat' for such an important role."

Goliath did not comment on his wording, but his expression clearly acknowledged it.

While speaking, Luo Yan's gaze turned to the Chief Minister, then glanced at the other ministers, finally resting on those deep green Soul Fires.

"The person I want to nominate belongs to no faction, a true neutral... He will prioritize Hell's interests above all, untouched by anyone's influence, including mine."

"His name is Egger."
