Chapter 694
At the top of a tower in the heart of the Ellipsia Citadel, three green-cored demons sit around a large table, overlooking the city below.
Glowing green transmission blocks project holograms of fifteen other demons based in other citadels across the Upper Realm.
One of the holograms of a Lord is far larger than the rest, leading their meeting. He happens to be the Vermillion Family Head.
His voice echoes for all his subordinates to hear.
"That wraps up our monthly profits meeting. Up 7% on mana, up 1% on demonic energy, and an 11% increase in low-quality ether stores. And congrats, Andras, on your expected Duel Victory. Acquiring that 1-Class world and four 2nd-Class worlds will certainly increase profits in next month's report."
Andras Vermillion stands up from his seat and bows his head, with the Ellipsia Citadel in all its glory behind him, showing off a beautiful view from the large penthouse estate of the tallest building in the center of the grand city.
"Of course, as requested, taking a few planets from one of the 1st-Class Blue Ogres was not a problem. Their influence was growing again too fast. We own this Citadel now. Those creatures are stuck in the past. We must continue to remind them that we are in charge. That will set them back a few centuries."
The Family Head grins.
"Yes, very good work. Now, moving on to more interesting business... A 19th Lord shall be joining us soon. The Vermillion Family grows stronger yet again."
