Chapter 3 - Chapter Three: Prepared Variation

Inferno Capital,Morgul Blade City, Pandemonium

Pandemonium, the Senate building, was made of Obsidian. The entire hall covered an area of 7300 square meters. A triangle composed of three castles. They were the three major government agencies in Hell. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presbyterian House of the Elders, and the Pro Guard. Satan's castle was located at the top of the triangle and was also the location of the Guardian.

The demonic servants were already busy and exhausted. Just now, the boss urgently notified them. That they were to immediately prepare a conference room in the Presbyterian Home. There was not much time available for him here, it was said that it was because this was a major meeting. All 12 elders would participate.

The servant had worked here for almost 5 years and had never seen such a significant major meeting.The history he learned tells him that only a greatly important thing about the country will call 12 elders.

Right now,he discovered a few people walking to him over the right way of the hall.They seemed to be in the conference room.The time was not yet that elders should not come instead of 3 guys.

"May I help you?You guys aren't supposed to be here,"the servant said.

"Move away, it's not your business," one of them said.

"Pardon?"

"Don't you hear what I said,servant?Move your damn way! We are the elders." He didn't wait for the servant to finish his words.

"Oh,my apologies. I am so sorry for that.I...I just don't know you will come so early. Please come in, let me prepare some tea."

One of the tall and thin elders took the lead in, and the elder who had just spoken exchanged glances with the tallest elder beside them, and also entered."Please forget his roughness.The urgency of the situation has made every one of us panic," the tallest man said.

"The...the elder president! It's my honor to serve you my lord," the servant said.

Even if there were lights indoors, it was still difficult to see his long and pointed conical face and the two white shining eyes. His horn was not Vassago's large horn resembling a sheep, but in the shape of a crescent moon. His voice was deep and powerful, like the sound of wind emanating from a bottomless cave.

"Do me a favor, young man." said the Elder President.

"Ok," replied the servant.

"Today...what you saw, is not allowed to be known by others. Never tell...anyone we have been here. Keep your mouth shut. It will save you, do you understand?"

"Y...yes.Yes,I understand."

"You better,."The president finished his words and walked into the conference room.

The conference room consisted of a round table with a diameter of 12 meters. Every council meeting was held at this table.At first glance upon entering the door, one could see a unique and exquisite chair opposite the elder president who was called he Phenex. He was the oldest, and highest in status, and respected by thousands of people.

Samigina, one of the other elders sat down in his seat.He played with some coins between the fingers, and watched the two others thoughtfully.

Bathin, the third elder, took the tea from the servant and brought it to Phenex. He said:"Drink some tea to warm you up, Mr. President."

"No thanks.I think we'd better do this quickly. We can't let the other elders find us.This is the only place without surveillance."Phenex refused.

"How do you make sure that I am on your side instead of a surveillance?"Samigina asked.

"Have you lost your mind? We are giving you an opportunity." Bathin said.

"But only you two have objections with the rest of the elders. You are the guys who are in trouble.I should give you an opportunity to save yourselves or you will fail.

"I trust you because you are a businessman.The rising of the Vassago father and son will harm your interests,"Phenex said.

Samigina touched his beard then says,"Keep going."

"Those elders who come to terms are full and weak.Their choices will lead us to die and I shall not allow it to happen. You won't join them right?"

"What's your plan?" asked Samigina.

"We are not sure.That's why we ask for your help.We must find a way to get at least 6.5 votes," Bathin said.

"As far as I know ,there are 6 elders who are totally against you.The rest of the 3 have no idea which side. We just need to pull 3 in,right?"Samigina asked.

"Yes.Just 3." Bathin said.

"I know a guy...he is probably an expert on it. He is wise and has strong influence . A great businessman and politician as me.I believe he shall fix all of these."Samigina said.

"Who?"
