Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 610: Various Busy Matters IV (Please Subscribe)

Half a month later, within the newly chosen residence of the Demon Race's Investigation Hall, Samikina's gaze passed over Pei Yan, who was sitting on a wide sofa drinking juice, towards the four cloaked guards standing behind him with their hands lowered in respect. From the moment he entered the room, he had been secretly observing these four individuals, finding that they remained silent about external conversations, their eyes cold and ruthless, with all their attention focused solely on their guarding duties.

Samikina could not fathom how, in merely half a month, the young man before him had managed to tame what once were adversaries like household pets. Thinking about the means involved in this process made him shiver, and his respect and vigilance towards Pei Yan increased by several degrees.

At this moment, Pei Yan, in rather good spirits, did not notice the odd look in his ally's eyes. After dealing with the four from the Demon Race that day, he had brought up Lin Junzhao's opinion with Elder Lin. After careful consideration, he held a small internal meeting, and after reaching a decision, immediately sent Hu Wenjun back to the real world with the meeting's resolutions. After an emergency meeting was convened by the Investigation Hall in the real world, Hu Wenjun and Xie Chujun returned the previous day with the results, agreeing to Xila's request to allow her to enter the Investigation Hall for asylum when necessary, with the specific conditions to be managed by Pei Yan.

Thinking about the profits that could be gained from the forthcoming negotiations with Xila, Pei Yan couldn't help but let a smile play upon his lips. Seeing this scene, Bailang, who was sitting beside him and already knew Pei Yan's real name, joked, "It seems Prince Pei is in high spirits today!" Saying this, Bailang looked towards the light screen in front of him and continued to flatter, "The arrival of Prince indeed resolved the difficult situation we were facing. Let's not mention anything else; just this real-time communication with the Holy City is a huge accomplishment. Ah! Thanks to Prince, I can finally see my uncle whom I haven't met in years."

"These are trivial matters and ones I neglected to handle sooner to avoid future troubles," Pei Yan said, looking around and asking, "Where is Miss Sifuer? Has she not yet recovered from her injuries?"

"Thank you for your concern, Prince. Mr. Lin has been frequently visiting to treat her. Her injuries have mostly healed now, but she still needs rest. Today's scene is somewhat bloody, and she had no need to attend, hence she is not here."

"Oh!" Upon hearing Bailang's words, Pei Yan responded meaningfully, then smiled and said, "Mr. Bailang, we've known each other for so long, there's no need to keep addressing me as Prince. We don't observe such formalities where I'm from; feel free to call me by my name like before."

"How dare I! How dare I!"

As the two were exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Feiyang pushed the door open and strode in, sitting down next to Pei Yan with a grin and said, "Has it started? I didn't miss anything, did I?"

"It hasn't started yet! They are still in a meeting and haven't yet mentioned the issue with those two families! How has your confinement been, Old Jiang, in these past two weeks? Comfortable?" Pei Yan turned sideways, signaled a maid to bring a glass of juice, and teasingly inquired with a smile.

Jiang Feiyang accepted the juice and sighed, "Don't mention it. This event almost gave me a psychological shadow, maybe I won't even dare to date in the future." While speaking, he took a sip and glanced around to complain, "I say, Pei Zi, your life is becoming more and more extravagant, isn't it? Being a Prince must be nice. I bet you won't want to return to reality and won't adapt."

"Rest assured, even when returning to the real world, with my capabilities, creating a few mech avatars to continue enjoying such life isn't a big deal, and you can do it too! Don't think I don't know about those custom-made soldier figures you have stashed away!"

"Hehe, kindred spirits, kindred spirits indeed!" Jiang Feiyang chuckled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "Where are those two main characters today?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan didn't speak but simply raised his hand. Immediately, two of the men in black understood his signal and left the room. Moments later, one of them dragged a prisoner back inside and tossed him in front of everyone.

In just half a month, Dieterma and Little Friedrich seemed like completely different individuals. Their former graceful and elegant demeanor was nowhere to be found, their bodies bore multiple wounds, and they had been hung upside down on high poles for half a month to endure the wind and sun. If it weren't for the strong resilience of the Demon Race's bodies, they might have been dead already. Yet despite this, the two were tortured beyond recognition, their bodies emaciated, clothes tattered, hair disheveled, and bodies soaked with blood and sweat, exuding an unpleasant smell.

Agitated by the stench, everyone in the room pinched their noses, as a hint of displeasure appeared on Pei Yan's face. He rebuked, "Chimei! You guys have pig brains, huh? Does everything need to be instructed step by step? Take them outside, rinse them off with water, and bring them back in."

Addressed as Chimei, the duo bowed deeply without saying a word, picked up the two individuals, and walked out. Seeing this, Samikina couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Mr. Pei Yan, what does Chimei mean?"

"Ah, it's just a new nickname I gave them because their original names were too cumbersome to pronounce," Pei Yan said, sipping his juice and casually remarked.

"You renamed them?" This statement stunned not only Samikina but also Xila, who had been observing coldly from the side. Only the Demon Race themselves knew what a surname meant to them. It was precisely because of this that curses involving sacrificing oneself with another's surname existed.

"Why make a fuss about it? Mangy dogs aren't fit to call themselves by name in my presence," Pei Yan put down his juice and said matter-of-factly. Hearing this, everyone looked towards the individuals behind him. Faced with such humiliation, the faces under the black cloaks remained expressionless, seemingly feeling it was justified.

Unlike the awe and fear on the faces of the other demons in the room, Xila, who was seated, displayed an intriguing and suggestive smile.

Just then, Chimei dragged the prisoners, rinsed repeatedly through a water vat, back into the hall and threw them to the ground, standing indifferently by their side.

"Look up! Today your family will be destroyed because of your stupidity." Pei Yan said, turning to Samikina and asking, "Mr. Samikina, who in this light screen is the clan leader from his two families?"

Samikina pointed and introduced with a smile, "That's him! Leman Friedrich. As for Dieterma, his family is not qualified to attend the Demon God Hall meeting."

"Oh! That's really unfortunate. He's your elder, isn't he? Look while you still can; every glance is one less. But it doesn't matter; soon enough, your entire family will meet underground. Our Investigation Hall always keeps its word," Pei Yan sarcastically said, glancing at the furious Little Friedrich who was glaring at him from the ground.

"I will kill you!" Little Friedrich roared, struggling to leap up from the ground, but just as he got halfway, he was kicked back down by Chi's foot.
