The Ruler Of All - 68 Demon King Part 1

“Brother Lin, Let’s get going now.. That demonic beast didn’t resemble any ancient beasts so I don’t think that it has a beast core. It might have just been powerful..” Ku Wang told Zhu Long, trying to cheer him up. Zhu Long nodded when he heard Ku Wang and said,” I agree, I’ve started to get greedy with beast cores and expected to get another one. Well, it doesn’t matter now. Let’s just continue, I’ll follow you.” Ku Wang smiled when he heard ZHu Long’s words but then looked confused,” Brother Lin, what do you mean greedy? Have you gotten other beast cores?” Zhu Long smiled wryly when he heard Ku Wang’s question,” Brother Ku, That’s a secret..” Ku Wang found it a bit annoying that Zhu Long wanted to keep the number of Beast Cores that he has a secret but then shook his head,’I can’t say anything. I’m sure that all of those, he got them by himself, It’s his luck.. For now, I shouldn’t get distracted by such things and we should get to the choke point.” Ku Wang thought to himself as he looked at the map.

After some thought, Ku Wang signaled Zhu Long that it was time to go and started to run towards a tree. Zhu Long naturally followed Ku Wang closely behind. They travelled for a few minutes after that, Ku Wang stopped out of nowhere and started to look at the map. Then he continued towards another tree. He did this a few more times and Zhu Long followed quietly. “Brother Lin..” Ku Wang looked towards Zhu Long with a serious expression. Zhu Long nodded, indicating Ku Wang to continue. Ku Wang then said with a serious tone, “Brother Lin, do you remember your promise?”

Zhu Long nodded again, “I do brother Ku, I will not get involved with anything.. There will not be any setbacks.” Ku Wang smiled in satisfaction after hearing Zhu Long but then continued, “I hope brother Lin keeps his word..” Zhu Long nodded again. It seemed like he didn’t want to speak at all at the moment. Ku Wang nodded and started to walk again, this time a lot slower and more quiet, ” Brother Lin, from here on out, we will have to pass by many demonic army camps or villages, we have to keep a low profile. We will avoid the camps completely but as the villages are larger in size, we will have to go through some. When we do so, let’s not do anything fishy, just follow me.. The faster we get out of the villages, the better it is for us.” Zhu Long looked surprised when he heard Ku Wang’s words but then followed Ku Wang, at the same pace. After another few minutes of walking, Ku Wang stopped, followed by Zhu Long.

“Brother Ku, Would you like to answer my question?” Zhu Long whispered. Ku Wang looked surprised at Zhu Long and nodded. Zhu Long smiled and continued,” Brother Ku, can you tell me about the demons? I really don’t understand them properly. Where I come from, demons are completely barbaric, they don’t have armies, they just do whatever they like. For them, it’s a free life where they would kill whoever they like and wouldn’t ever follow orders. But here, the demons are in an army, following commands from superiors and they act like soldiers. I’m confused by this.” Ku Wang stopped walking and looked towards Zhu Long, he had a small smile on his face,’It seems like i’ve found something about brother Lin..’ Zhu Long also stopped looking towards Ku Wangw With the hopes of getting an answer.

Ku Wang nodded and thought for a while. He looked towards Zhu Long and said,” Brother Lin, I’m not too sure myself but I think that the demons act according to their leaders. Lilith, The leader of this demonic continent must be someone that believes in strength in unity and has probably trained the demons into becoming parts of an army and discipline them while the other leaders probably let the demons go free and wild, letting them do whatever they want. But from what I’ve heard, even the wild demons have sects or clans where they do follow a hierarchy of leaders, elders and the followers. I’m sure that this is the case but I have heard of another reason..” Zhu Long nodded as he heard Ku Wang’s words. He looked towards Ku Wang and asked,” Brother Ku, what is the other reason? It seemed to be a little less believable when you said it like that..”

Ku Wang looked towards Zhu Long and said “Brother Lin, Have you heard of the Demon King?” Zhu Long nodded when he heard KU Wang’s question. Ku Wang then continued,” Brother Lin, It is said that when the Demon King was still around, The demonic continents were united. They were combined, forming a huge area around the human continents, and so the humans were a lot weaker than the demons. At that time, the continent was separated and had only been separated into parts according to the jobs of the demons, there was no enmity among the parts, they were completely united. All of this was possible due to their immense faith in the Demon King, who they treated like a god. The sections of the united demon continent each had a leader, the High Demons. I’m sure that the past sections of the united Demon continent are the current different demonic continents. If that is so, it would mean that this continent is where they trained the demonic army..” Ku Wang explained, not trying to miss any important points. Zhu Long was surprised to hear Ku Wang’s words. He had another question pop into his mind after hearing Ku Wang.

“Brother Ku, If the demons had that much power, why didn’t they try to take over the Human Continent?”

“Are you sure about that? I do have some time to spare so I can help you with the report. Plus, I know some of these guys and I’m sure that they will go to the place where you ran away from and catch that prick in a few minutes, by a special request from me..” I tried to be a bit helpful. It was true though, I could request the police to do that, I’d just get some scolding from my boss but nothing that much. I’d take the yells if it’s for someone like her. But deep down, I knew that she would say no, I didn’t want that to happen but it would only harm me. I still need to get to Olive Dressings Restro, and meet with the italian mobsters, this is an important deal and I can’t fuck this up.

“No, You don’t have to do that much just for me. I’ll just make a complaint and do all the necessary work. Mr Carter, You can go back and continue what you were doing before I interrupted you.” Ms Malory said with a small embarrassed smile. It seemed like she felt bad that she had interrupted me but I didn’t mind at all, not for her at least. But I guess I cannot force her, For now I guess I’ll just have to get back to the restro and meet with the mobsters. There was a huge chance that the Leader will also show up. “If Ms Smith says so, I will just have to oblige. I guess that this will be our goodbye so be careful, I will have to rush back, I did have some important things to do haha.” It was difficult saying goodbye to someone like her but The world is filled with uncertainties. It was just one of those moments, a short meeting and I’m sure that we will not meet again.

“Goodbye Mr Carter, I’m sure that we will meet soon.” I heard Ms Malory’s voice as I walked towards my car. Meet me soon? That would be the best situation. But for now, I’ve had enough distractions for the night, Lets get some work done. I’m feeling pumped up right now.
