Three votes in favor, one abstention.

The voting results of the councilors also appeared in the air, but Luo Yan did not look closely.

He knew very well that in the "Major Affairs Decision" involving Cabinet Ministers, the votes of the councilors were only symbolic embellishments—unless the opposing votes reached "half of the total number of the council," they could not overturn the ministerial consensus.

Such a situation had never occurred once in the five-hundred-year history during the Bayele era.

With a low, dull hum, a bluish flame rose from the central fire basin, intertwining and gathering in mid-air, forming burning lines of text.

It was the final will of the Supreme Council Hall.

[Resolution confirmed: Effective immediately, Demon King Egger will represent Hell and establish the Demon King Territory below Withered Wood Port on the Northern Coast of the Gana Continent.]

[Resolution passed. Hell Demon King Egger is authorized to go to the southern Withered Wood Port to establish a frontline Demon King Territory. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will directly supervise affairs in this area, with a designated representative from the Demon King Management Department. The council is permitted to regularly review execution progress...]

As the last line of text slowly extinguished, the Witch Demon Goliath, who had been sitting on the stone chair, suddenly disintegrated without any warning.

His figure crumbled like sand crushed by the ages, turning into a stream of black dust, drifting away with the invisible wind toward the slowly opening door, leaving quietly.

He didn't say a word.

Only an empty chair remained.

The meeting concluded.

Caesar Colin's mouth curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. He lowered his arms which had been crossed and stood up.

"Since the meeting's over, I'll take my leave first."

With this, he strode toward the door.

Just as he passed by Luo Yan, he halted momentarily and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

'Well done.'

He didn't open his mouth, but the brief acknowledgment was clearly conveyed through his gaze and gesture.

Luo Yan lightly nodded, watching as this Iron-blooded Prince departed.

In many ways, he had benefited too much from his care.

Similarly seeing Caesar off, Karamos also stood up with a smile, patting down his clothes leisurely.

"Well then, I'll retreat as well. Let's leave the written notifications to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The Minister of Internal Affairs quickly got up and nodded respectfully to him.

Karamos didn't notice, just nodded slightly, then walked unhurriedly towards the door.

As he passed by Luo Yan, he suddenly mimicked Caesar's action, placing his hand on Luo Yan's other shoulder.

"Appreciate your effort."

A warm scent transferred from that soft palm, and this sentence seemed to thank him for his speech at the meeting.

But it also seemed to imply further requests.

'If you hadn't suddenly intervened, I might have had it a bit easier.'

Suppressing the goosebumps on his back, Luo Yan silently mocked in his heart, just planning to express his dissatisfaction in a subtle yet graceful manner, but when he turned back, he found that there was already no one behind him.

Not just Karamos.

Even Asmon had quietly disappeared, like a shadow that never existed in this meeting room.

The way these guys exited was all so unique—

The most down-to-earth one turned out to be Caesar Colin, who seemed the least approachable.

"Meeting adjourned."

"The resolution of this meeting is considered the will of the Demon God, and I hope everyone abides by it."

The Minister of Internal Affairs solemnly declared the routine closing remarks, then nodded slightly to the presiding official.

The latter, understanding the signal, extinguished the bluish flame in the fire basin, and the falling shadow immediately covered the brows of the towering Demon God Statue—

Just like the deep, obsidian-like eyes that watched everything earlier.

Luo Yan rose from his seat, not leaving with the exiting crowd, but stood at the door for a moment.

Not long after, Festin Padric sauntered out, walking with composure.

"Want to grab a drink together later?" Luo Yan asked as he looked at him.

Festin smiled and replied.

"It's a very tempting offer, but unfortunately, I already have plans."

"That's truly regretful."

Festin raised his eyebrows slightly and joked.

"Perhaps not."

Luo Yan initially didn't understand what he meant, until he left the council hall and realized why Mr. Festin said so.

Almost the moment he stepped out of the corridor, a large group of demons immediately swarmed around, surrounding him.

"I'm Carlos! Lord of the Burning City! Lord Luo Yan, your words today truly got me fired up, hahaha—"

"I'm Alger from the Night Howl Forest! You might not have heard of my name, but it will soon echo throughout Storling Province! If you ever need manpower on the Gana Continent, just give a shout! We in Night Howl Forest don't lack fierce fighters—or rather, werewolves!"

"I am Hertz, Lord of the Dark City, delighted to meet you at this grand event! I've long admired your deeds, and wonder if I might have the honor of dining with you."

A horror demon with a bull's head squeezed through the demon crowd, reaching out fervently to Luo Yan, but before he could finish his sentence, an ill-timed voice usurped his words from the side.

"Dear, having dinner with a horror demon is boring, why not come over to my place, hehe..."

A charming enchantress, with eyes like silk and her fingertip on her raised lips, laughed like a hen that had just laid an egg, much to the chagrin of the Lord of the Dark City. Her long, rich dark purple curly hair fell to her waist, the lace-trimmed skirt strings sinking into her voluptuous figure, with seductive curves seemingly holding mysteries from the depths of the universe.
