Chapter 538 Demons Meet (2/2)
Baal, the Sin of Pride, a handsome blonde-haired, yellow-eyed man appearing in his early 30s, was always the one to speak and commence the meeting.
Nobody had any objections to it before, and the situation was the same now.
Baal explained that the meeting was held today in light of the appearance of a Seraphim.
His tone was authoritative, and his aura exuded regality.
But of course, it didn't do much to impress the other seated Sins, as everyone had almost similar prowess with only slight differences.
After he finished, the discussion on what must be done and what shouldn't be done began.
Belphegor, the Sin of Sloth, took a neutral stance and didn't speak as he was too busy slouching on the table and sleeping.
Except for him and the Sin of Lust Asmodeus, others were involved in a heated discussion.
Pride, Envy, and Greed wanted to tarnish the reputation of the Seraphim through this event. Although they couldn't go to the academy, they could still do so by various other methods.
Wrath and Gluttony, however, were against it. The Seraphim was making an appearance as the Principal of the world's most prestigious academy. In the near future, their descendants would also be going to the academy, so they didn't want to provoke her ire.
Not to mention, the Seraphim was the Principal of the Academy in the Neutral Continent. It was a neutral place of the world managed by the main eight races.
Tarnishing the reputation of anyone there meant sullying the reputation of the main eight.
However, Baal was too prideful and wanted to showcase the might of the demons. As for Leviathan, the Sin of Envy, she envied the attention the Seraphim was getting and didn't like it. She wanted to shift the focus from the Seraphim toward the demons.
Mammon, the Sin of Greed, felt that tarnishing this Seraphim's image would bring many benefits to the demons, including many monetary ones.
In any case, the situation stated that if Pride, Envy, and Greed ended up having their way, it would ruin the image of the Seraphim making an appearance.
These Seven Sins knew that the Seraphim making an appearance was the highly revered War Angel.
She was one of the most beautiful beings among Angels, and Angels were considered this world's most beautiful race!
If they edited her images to make fake pornographic videos of her and circulated them on the internet, they could earn a lot of money.
Not only would this generate lots of revenue, but if the angels who worshipped the War Angel saw this, they would have their faith shaken and could even die.
Eventually, it might even weaken the power of the Angel Continent due to this.
The Seven Sins knew that the low-level demons were planning to do something similar with the live stream of the Seraphim, and they were thus discussing this issue.
"Are you out of your mind!?" Astaroth, a red-haired lady appearing to be in her early 30s, slammed the ancient table. It caused her huge breasts to sway intensely despite being tightly bound in her fit robes.
"The Heavenly Court would never let such a thing happen. Plus, have you forgotten that the new Supreme is an acquaintance of hers?" Astaroth addressed this to Baal, Mammon, and Leviathan.
Leviathan, the Sin of Envy, a tall blue-haired lady in her late 30s, said, "Why are you worried? It's not like they'll find out it was our doing. We can also hide our tracks."
"Shut up!" Astaroth cursed. "Think with your head, you dumb shit. Don't let the Envy consume you."
"What did you say!?" Leviathan got up and said, staring daggers at Astaroth.<.com>
Leviathan, Astaroth, and Baal were all the family names representing the Sins. Their actual names were different, but when together in a meeting, they addressed each other with family names to appear more formal.
The Sin of Wrath was short-tempered and would always curse or almost end up fighting someone during a meeting.please visit .
This heated talk between her and the Sin of Envy was not taken seriously by the other sins since it was not an unusual scene.
Eventually, after a while, the two sides were in a stalemate. There was no hope for Belphegor, who was sleeping. So, everyone turned to look at Asmodeus.
"What's your opinion on this? I know you must be scheming something behind that silence." Baal, the Sin of Pride, said.
Asmodeus looked towards Baal with a neutral expression and said calmly, "I was waiting for you all to shut up, hence my silence."
Baal knitted his brows while Astaroth and Leviathan weren't in a good mood after listening to this. Belphegor, Beelzebub, and Mammon had no change in their emotions from this comment of Asmodeus.
"Trying to act mighty, yes?" Astaroth said.
Asmodeus leaned forward, looking everyone except Belphegor straight in the eyes. She calmly emphasized her words as she said, "The Seraphim making an appearance is my child's teacher. You do anything to her, and you make an enemy out of me."
Astaroth eased her brows as she heard that. So Asmodeus was on their side all along, she thought and felt relieved. Beelzebub was also relieved, and he and Astaroth became quiet for the time being and let the others speak.
"Do you think I am afraid of you, Asmodeus?" Baal said, ferociously looking at Avelyn.
Avelyn calmly looked at Baal and said, "If you aren't, then you should be. Remember, one word from me, and the best cultivation manuals would be gone from the demon market. Trade will stop, and your imports will take a big hit."
The Lust country was situated in a geographically fantastic place. They had the benefits of land and sea, and not only that, their exports were really high.
They sent out aphrodisiacs, potions, and many more goods related to carnal pleasures. If this was stopped, the lower-level demons would riot, and things won't turn out well for the others.
As for the cultivation manuals, dual cultivation manuals were proving to be better than standard techniques day by day.
There were also other methods where a demon could use someone else's Yin or Yang essence to cultivate. Still, they needed help, and the manuals sold by the Sin of Lust were the best choice for them.
If it was taken out of the market, many would suffer.
Baal, Leviathan, and Mammon naturally understood the importance of Asmodeus and her exports. Weighing benefits over everything else, Mammon, the Sin of Greed, felt this issue wasn't worth offending the Sin of Lust and backed away.
Only Leviathan and Baal remained, who didn't even think of backing away.
Being the Sin of Pride, it was only natural Baal was this way. As for Leviathan, she envied the attention received by the Seraphim too much. She would do anything to ruin her image.
But no matter what they did, Avelyn wasn't going to stand down and let them have their way.
Her son had requested her to preserve his teacher's reputation. Since it was a rare request from her only child, she wasn't going to say no, was she?
Avelyn was fine with making an enemy out of all the sins present here if needed. Her son's request trumped all the other considerations in her mind.
Baal and Leviathan were about to lash out at Avelyn when the meeting of the Seven Sins got interrupted by approaching footsteps of someone, and they all stopped and looked towards the person entering the hall.
