Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter



"Uh…uhh..mhm..okay." After going through several stages of hesitation, Trek decided to listen to Belal and back off. He looked to his team and signaled them not to jump in on the issue.

Belal said with a sunny smile. "Trek, you have grown up so much. I am glad you can think things through carefully now."

"Yeah, I do." Trek replied, forcing a smile. He quickly pulled out a grade-5 uncommon beast core and threw it to Bailey. Then he left with his team, not wanting to delve with them any longer.

"Let's leave too." Belal called Bailey, waving his hand. Bailey and Tanaka followed Belal's leaving figure without mentioning anything in front of everyone.

After they walked a certain distance, Tanaka asked. "Brother Belal, I didn't expect you to know how to scare people away."

"Huh?" Belal gave a confused glance at Tanaka before saying. "I didn't scare him anyway. He left on his own. I just persuaded him a little, that's all."

"Uh.." Tanaka was stumped and speechless. Eventually, he could only agree with him. "You are right, brother Belal."

Bailey smiled at their interaction. Bailey had more experience with Belal than Tanaka had, so she knew more about Belal's personality than he did. 'Brother Belal is the same as always. He misunderstands why people listen to him most of the time. It isn't because of his kind nature, but his strength.'

All of a sudden, Bailey was pulled back from her train of thought by Belal's call. "Bailey, how did you actually win that fight? I thought you were about to lose."

"Yes, did you use your vital energy secretly?" Tanaka also asked curiously.

Bailey shook her head at Tanaka's question and replied. "I won because of my sword. Throughout the whole fight, my sword damaged and chipped Trek's sword's edges. So, at the last moment, I noticed it and put all my strength into snapping his sword by using the most damaged edge."

"Huh?" Tanaka was left stunned. "So basically, you won because of your sword."

Bailey nodded her head, agreeing with that statement. This left Tanaka stupefied, as he was one of the firm believers that the fights were won by pure skill there."

"Hahaha..now you guys can't doubt Boss Benimaru." Belal laughed out loud, proud that he had been right all along.

"Brother Belal, can we know where you got that sword from?"

At that moment, they heard a young voice coming from behind. They looked back and saw it was Nil with his team.

"Nil, were you guys stalking us?" Belal asked, smirking at them. 

"No, no." Nil waved his hands, feeling embarrassed to hear that. "We were chasing you and were fortunate to hear that conversation." 

"I see." Belal nodded his head and then started to educate them about Benimaru's shop.

After Belal finished, Nil and his team went silent. This made Belal confused. "Why are you guys not saying anything? Don't you guys have questions about it?"

ƥαṇdαηθνε| Belal's words woke them up from their silence, and they swarmed around Belal.

"Brother Belal, quickly tells us the location of the shop."

"Brother, why didn't you tell us about the shop first? I thought we were all family to you!"

Belal became helpless and overwhelmed by them. So, he tried to calm them down. "Okay, guys. I am sorry for telling you all at first. But don't blame me; we just found out about this shop a few hours ago."

"Don't worry, brother Belal. We do not blame you." Nil then looked at his entire team and said. "Find a way to bring some money, we will go find the shop and buy everything we like."

"Yes!" The entire team said it in unison, scaring the pedestrians. 

"Argg!" Bailey became annoyed and embarrassed by this and shouted at them. "You guys! Can you act normal in public for once?"

"Sorry, sister Bailey." They apologized, once again saying it in unison. This made her facepalm, and Tanaka and Belal laughed.

Belal stepped forward and said to them, "Okay, you guys go to your home and sleep well. Don't you guys dare go drinking!"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"We will not, brother Belal." They left, making a promise to Belal.

Belal looked at them with adoration as he saw them leave. He had a special brotherly love for them. They were all young, between the ages of 14 and 18, which made Belal want to take care of them. Especially them being orphans.

"Let's leave too." Belal led the other two to their house, to take a rest.

…

"So that is what happened." Benimaru rubbed his chin after hearing Nil's whole story. He didn't get to know the entire thing, he was just able to know what Nil saw and heard.

"Thank you for taking your time to tell this long story." Benimaru said it with gratitude before saying. "For this, I will give you all 10% off. Now, choose what you want." 

"Wow! Just as brother Belal said, the boss is truly generous." After their praise and awe, they all went to buy what they wanted.

In just a few minutes, they had bought the stuff of their choice and left, saying goodbye to everyone in the shop.

At that moment, Ravenna came before Benimaru and told him optimistically. "Benimaru. looks like we can earn a lot after this."

Benimaru nodded to Ravenna's statement. "Yes, these kids look like someone who would easily advertise our product after they taste how good it is. We just have to wait."

Ravenna happily went into her position after hearing what Benimaru said. She was happy that they would earn a lot of money, and the other reason was that she could have more funds to make various pills and potions.

Benimaru stood calmly, habitually looking up to check the clock. Despite not having one, he thought about it. 'It might take a few hours before we have more customers. Let's cultivate until then.'

'Now that I think about it. We have the concept of time here but no clocks.' All of a sudden, Benimaru's intrusive thoughts got hold of him. 'Is it because no one had the thought of making one, or they had the idea but didn't know how to? Or they didn't make one for non-workers to come up with a timetable for work? Hmmm, maybe the rich businessmen stopped the making of clocks, so that they could exploit the labor of people as much as possible.' 

'Well, these are all stupid guesses. I should go back to cultivating.' After giving a soft sigh, he went to cultivate.

Just as Benimaru predicted, he started to gain customers gradually as time went on.

While Benimaru was counting his shiny coins, a few blocks away from his shop was a shop called "All Peoples" which was Okarino's.

On the second floor of the shop, Okarino's office.

One could see Okarino sitting behind a desk, skimming through a bunch of papers leisurely. He had many people in his arsenal, so he didn't need to sit in the shop.

"Origin: unknown, parents: unknown, age: unknown, unknown, unknown." Okarino looked at the papers pensively. "Nothing is known about this guy and the people around him. He came out of nowhere, this is so weird. The kingdom has every person's information recorded. He might be from another region, but that would still let him record his information before entering the kingdom."

Dropping the papers on his desk, Okarino looked up at his wooden ceiling. "Perhaps he is from a secret kingdom, or he is a demon in disguise? No, no, no…"

Okarino quickly shook his head, denying it because he and everyone else knew that demons despise themselves to remove their demonic traits and look like humans. They hate it to the bone.

"I will have to try and see who he is. I can't let anyone become an obstacle in the Lord's mission." Okarino's face turned stern, and he said it with firmness.

At that moment, one of his guards entered the room, making Okarino look back.

"Sir, we have brought the items you want." The guard dropped the box with his hands on the table and opened it.

Okarino came in front of it and looked down at it, which was full of Benimaru's items. Okarino took them in his hands and carefully inspected them. After a while, he said it with wonder. "What fine artsmanship! I haven't seen anyone make such a low tier weapon with this quality."

Okarino quickly pulled out a pouch from his bag that was ringing with coins clashing against each other. He handed it to the guards and said to them. "Have the best criminal team here to rob this shop for me. I want to see how they will respond. If they are pure blacksmiths or are someone with a hidden agenda."

"Yes, sir." The guard bowed his head to Okarino before leaving to do his job.

Okarino went back to his seat and said. "I hope you do disappoint me. I don't want to handle additional trouble."
