The boss let out a chilling laugh, his eyes burning with a cold fury. "Kill me?" he scoffed. "He's nothing but a pawn, a puppet dancing on my strings. I gave him his power, and I can just as easily take it away."
He rose from his throne, his imposing figure casting a long shadow across the chamber. "Gather the troops," he commanded, his voice booming through the darkness. "We march on the Shiny Star Kingdom. I will show Li Zhin the true meaning of fear."
Wei Yu nodded, his fear momentarily forgotten in the face of his boss's overwhelming presence. He hurried to carry out his orders, his mind already filled with images of the impending battle. The demon cult was about to unleash its full fury upon the unsuspecting kingdom, and Zhin's defiance would be met with swift and brutal retribution.
