The Demon Lord System
Chapter 183: Return of III
The mayor ended badly, 16 of his ribs were broken, his legs were paralyzed and his nose was also broken. Mayor Jack began to regret his actions but it was of no use.
Ling himself holds back for Xan Zhang killing mayor Jack because of the situation. But Xan Zhang didn't accept it, Ling was forced to expend a little of his strength. Just a little bit was not even more than 5% of his original strength, already making Xan Zhang or rather Xin Zhang not wrinkle. Lightning Ling made Xin Zhang's body become paralyzed.
Xin Zhang finally kept quiet and obeyed Ling's words, Ling patted Xin Zhang on the back with a smile, after she calmed down, Ling removed the paralyzing effect. And Xin Zhang immediately walked to the back of Ling lowering her head.
Arthur who was behind laughed at Xin Zhang, “Hahaha just came home scolded..” Arthur laughed off with a stupefied face.
Ling just smiled and turned his body towards Mayor Jack who was lying helplessly. Ling approached mayor Jack and looked at him.
“Do you regret now?”
“A-I m-apret, please let me live..”.
“I'll let you live and even heal all your current wounds as long as you promise one thing.” Ling smiled kindly, but the smile looked very creepy to the Mayor. Like a demon ready to eat you from behind.
“A - I will do anything..”.
“Good!”

Ling got a lot of information and of course, got a chess piece ready to be ordered by him at any time. After that, Mayor Jack ended up being one of Ling's chess pieces, rather, he was currently one of the pawns Ling would use until his life was over.
But mayor Jack, who has become an ally, is confused by the request of his new master (Ling), his new master, asking him to raise Ling's bounty to 1 million gold coins. Which where such a price would make many monsters from the assassin Clan interested.
But he did not argue and immediately carried out his duty well. Instead, mayor Jack obtained a new skill from Ling that was useful for increasing his strength. At the very least, Ling would always be kind to his subordinates and not be too urgent to them.
The mayor finally left and the Hunters who were hired still did not budge from their place. They saw with their own eyes, the influential people in the kingdom put their heads to the youth whose age they were even still carrying. Who and what is the identity of this young man? Is he a Duke-class royal noble?
“Everything here, please keep what happened a secret. We will not tolerate this news leak, if anyone leaks it, they will get a terrible death, you understand?” Levi warned firmly.
All the upper-class Hunters nodded their heads and replied firmly. Instead the low-class Hunters who saw this incident, erased his memory.
Then, all but the half-animal female Hunter, were repatriated. Ling goes inside along with the half-animal Hunter and the others, arriving inside Ling has Rafaela and Levi cook for the party. Kurumi was also present after resting, maybe for Ling and everything was fast, but for Kurumi the break was long enough because she used speeding skills only around her.
“So what does this young master want from me?” The female half-race animal immediately asked the point.
Ling smiled, “Actually how many half-breed animals are still alive besides you?”
“What do you mean? I don't understand.”
“Well, I have a power that even you would find difficult to reach without help. You know a god? You could say I was one of their heirs. So to recognize you, it is very easy.” Ling kept a friendly smile while propping up his chin with his hands. It looks very sweet, usually women who see it will really like the look of Ling like this.
However, the female of this animal race did not show any interest with Ling's handsome face. But he showed something Ling expected more, which was his surprise.
‘Did this man really inherit the power of gods? But at this age? It was very unlikely, yet.breathing a powerful figure like them bowed his head before him, it was undeniable.’.
TL/N: 'They' mean it's the pillars of the demonic Ling.
“But I still don't trust you, even though you're an heir of the Gods. Which is even a legend, I still believe, but I don't believe you're a good person and I can't answer your question. Being alert is necessary, right?”
Ling praised the thought of this woman, however being alert was indeed necessary. If Ling was in his position, he would say the same.
“Yes you are right, then how do I prove I have no bad intentions towards the half animal race? I just wanted to make a relationship with you.”.
The half-animal race woman watched Ling closely, she found no lie from Ling's words. Obviously, Ling also had no intention of lying, what he said was purely his wish.
“Hmm you're not lying, I'll tell you. Our race lives in the jungle, some of us are here to buy food and also warm clothes, because soon it will be winter.”.
The half-animal woman said anything related to the half-animal race was her belief. Ling responded calmly, as soon as the female of the half-animal race said so. Ling threw two bags full of gold coins.
“For you guys, hopefully the money is enough to buy winter supplies. In that case, if you want salvation for your entire race, you can come to this residence of mine. I will wait a few days, if you intend to make contact with me, I will make sure your race will be safe under my protection. Surely, you guys will be my fighting force as well, and should be ready to do as I please.”.
“Hmm well thank you, ah well, my name is Melia Natland, see you later.”.
The half-animal woman had suddenly disappeared, Ling smiled, she was getting more and more interested in making them her combat power. And if successful, Ling believes the Giant in Whazard's kingdom will be defeated by him more easily.
