Chapter 170 – Studying Abroad
by 夜阑妖歌Chapter 170 - Studying Abroad
Upon hearing the Demon King's words, Wen Ying felt a strange mixture of surprise and non-surprise.
"Your Highness, you mean that the second stage is…?"
"The goal of mental and cultural control is to make them accept us, isn't it?" the Demon King countered with a question.
Wen Ying instinctively answered, "Yes."
"So, next semester, I plan to send the young devils of Class One on a study abroad program in the human world. You should get in touch with those exorcists and discuss it with them."
After saying that, the Demon King hung up without any further ado.
Wen Ying remained in his phone-calling posture for a very long time, listening to the beeping sound coming from his device.
He needed to sort out the implications of the Demon King's brief statement. For instance, it was likely that the Demon King had intentionally leaked information about the headquarters' location to those exorcists outside.
Wen Ying almost threw his phone to the ground. Recalling all the hard work he had put into his mobile game data, reason stopped him just in time, but he couldn't help cursing under his breath.
He finally understood why there was the saying "fear not a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate." He could now relate to this frustrating feeling, even though the Devil wasn't exactly a worthless teammate – he was more like a mischievous devil – but the sentiment was similar.
Given a grand objective without any plan, Wen Ying's anger was laced with deep concern. He had never been involved in making such significant decisions before. The Devil's actions were akin to placing a primary school student in the CEO's seat of a corporation.
To prevent him from slacking off, the Devil had invited the guest personally. How cunning, Wen Ying gritted his teeth. This Devil was even more devious than his great-grandfather.
With the person already outside and having reached their doorstep, there was no escape for Wen Ying. He steeled himself and returned to his seat.
When he left the restroom and rejoined his table, the exorcist's table was already filled with dishes. On Wen Ying's table sat a sandwich and a cup of soy milk.
