Chapter 64: The more charming a demon’s smile, the more danger it contains
Demons worked hard—did you know this saying? It wasn’t just that.
Demon Lord worked swiftly.
I had no idea how much money it would need to construct a teleportation array wide enough to contain the whole material plus workers to build a permanent teleportation portal—and at this point, I was too scared to ask. He could just use carriages to bring all of those materials and workers, but no—he had to use the expensive massive teleportation array.
Looking at the golems and demon supervisors taking up all the materials to the highest floor, I was tempted to ask Zia how rich Natha actually was. But before I could utter anything, the succubus already made a comment first while hovering above my shoulder.
"That cousin of mine never spends money on anything, but look at what he does after you come," she muttered while leaning on my shoulder, watching the train of materials passing by. "Feels like he saves all of his wealth just for you, huh?"
She giggled while nudging me, for sure enjoying the red creeping in my ears. Well, what could I do—her words remind me of Natha’s statement that morning, about how his wealth was supposed to be used for his beloved.
"Would the construction take long?" I asked no one in particular, just wondering on my own. But all the golems and the demon supervisors stopped walking and turned toward me.
It was good that I was leaning against a railing or I might jump from the surprise—how undignified would that look? The one who really jumped in fright was Jade, who also immediately cussed the group with its chirping.
Thank God they didn’t know any chirp language.
"It would take a while, Young Master, a few days at the very least," one of the demons answered me politely. "We’ll make sure not to disturb you too much."
"Oh, don’t worry about it," I replied quickly, shaking my head and hand for added measure. Why were Natha’s subordinates always overly polite? "Oh, but can I watch?"
