"BAM"
The eight devil kings fell flat with their faces on the ground and could finally catch their breaths. Nonetheless, they couldn't relax as they knew that the monster was giving them time to make their decisions.
They looked at each other with ugly expressions, hoping that one of them would speak first and break the silence. But how could they come up with a decision when they knew that they would be betraying Devil Emperor Joziah if they submitted?
Furthermore, if they didn't agree with him, who knew if he would kill and silence them. On top of that, they were enjoying their current life. Neither did they have to work hard nor serve anyone like slaves.
They simply cultivated every day by allowing their subordinates to gather resources for them. It could be considered that they were living a lavish life of an overlord that even Devil Emperors envied.
