This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Chapter 120: Chapter 112: Involution is the Norm in the Industry

"Emily, do you know what a demon’s biggest weakness is?"

"What is it?"

Lette smiled slightly, "It’s not being very united. Especially when there’s a conflict of interest.

They’ll undermine each other, expose each other’s faults, even plot against one another in secret.

Sometimes they get so caught up in their infighting that they forget the employer is even there."

In the previously quiet farmhouse yard, a group of demons argued like mad ducks. With their fierce expressions, red faces, and thick necks, they had long forgotten about manners and decorum.

Some of them, who had worse relationships, even started pulling at each other. The scene was so chaotic that it was unbearable to watch.

Emily watched thoughtfully, "So, what that demon said about you single-handedly facing twelve Upper Demons..."

"Initially, it was indeed one against twelve, but I found some opportunities and succeeded in sowing discord among them.

By the end, everyone was just fighting their own battles."

Lette shrugged, "So far, it seems they still haven’t fixed this bad habit."

"Then why do they call you Ke Du?"

"I’m a bit rude when I talk and quite sharp and harsh. Maybe a few demons think I’m a little malevolent, so they gave me such an elegant nickname."

Lilith pursed her lips, "Listen to him blowing his trumpet. He’s the only one who’s gotten a demon’s honorific without being a demon himself."

"They misunderstood my character."

"I think it’s a profound understanding..."

Lette didn’t want to pay them any attention and turned to face the more than twenty demons.

"Alright! Stop quarreling! Looking like this, don’t you notice there’s a demon here laughing at you?"

With those words, the chaotic scene instantly fell silent.

All the demons stopped and fixed their eyes on Lilith, sitting on Lette’s shoulder.

Soon, they started tidying up and displayed a trademark smile like wholesale goods.

"You see, once you find their weakness, controlling them is quite simple."

"But why did you use me as a tool?"

Lette slowly walked up to the demons and transformed his spiritual power into a massive screen, showing the task content.

After all the demons watched it, Lette spoke immediately.

"Now, the task has been issued, and the reward is a soul coin. I know it’s not much money, but being able to take this coin from me should be enough for you to boast about.

However, I’m not saying who should take on this task right now.

You can all fight for it, and whoever brings me what I want by the end of tomorrow.

That demon will be my partner.

Alright then, everyone... begin."

With a clatter, as soon as Lette finished speaking, all the demons vanished.

Seeing the suddenly empty courtyard, Emily couldn’t wrap her head around it.

"What happened, you didn’t sign any contracts! How did they just leave?"

"Didn’t you hear? Only those who successfully fetch what I want are qualified to sign a contract with me."

"Of course I heard! You’re just working them for free!"

"That’s what it’s like to be the client."

Lette spread his hands, "I didn’t organize a submission contest and then freeload on the participants’ creativity; that’s quite a moral bottom line.

As long as they bring me the phenomenon anchor point I want, I can sign a contract with them.

Of course, all right of interpretation is mine.

That’s the client’s advantage.

They’re the ones begging me."

"But as I recall, at first, you were the one begging them."

"The supply and demand relationship can change, you know. It’s like the wheel of fortune turns!"

Lette whistled and pocketed a soul coin.

"By doing this, there’s no need to worry about a demon trying to pull a fast one on me. Because as soon as they have the audacity to scheme, a contender will reveal their crime to eliminate the competition.

This! Is the charm of the rat race!

And demons love rat races the most."

The three beauties present were momentarily speechless until Lilith sighed.

"See, I told you that honorific wasn’t given in error, right?"

"I actually think it’s a bit conservative."

Lette clapped his hands, "Alright, by this time tomorrow, we can collect it.

Don’t think I’m too overboard, I’ll throw in an extra soul coin by then."

"Ah~ leaving so soon?"

Emily seemed a bit reluctant, "I wanted to try out the Super Fusion state."

"Master, this place is truly magical, I want to explore more too."

"Being infatuated with dreams will bring bad luck..."

Lilith tugged on Lette’s sleeve, "Let them explore a little more, it’s not a bad thing. After all, the Tower of Truth has means to attack from the Dream Realm; we also have to be more vigilant.

Teaching them to defend themselves saves a lot of trouble."

Lette listened and helplessly nodded, "Alright, let’s give you some special training with the time left.

Let me think... which Dream Weaver around has a suitable dream challenge for you guys...

Or, why not just go to the Abyss of Nightmare."

Emily was eager, "Are you coming to spar with us?"

Lette raised an eyebrow, "Sure, Emily, you’re getting a bit cocky lately. Do you think completing Super Fusion in the Dream Realm qualifies you to challenge me?"

"Oh come on~ I obviously know I can’t beat you. But I also want to see how much effort you have to exert if I go all out!"

Lette nodded slightly, "Ambitious! Good! Remember this courage to challenge stronger people, it’s your most precious asset and your pass to growing stronger.

Flander, what about you?"

Flander hesitated, then shook her head, "I have a long way to go, I won’t challenge Master."

Lette still gave affirmation, "Very good, having a clear understanding of yourself is crucial too. Knowing yourself and knowing others leads to victory in every battle, but the hardest step is knowing yourself.

So let’s do this, Lilith, you train with Flander.

Emily, come with me."

Since they hardly get the chance to be in the Dream Realm, Lette also wanted to try personally, to see the theoretically strongest power of semi-awakened Emily in the Dream Realm.

This is important data to collect.

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Emily was very excited, and in the blink of an eye, she was already in Overclocking state, her clothes rapidly diminishing.

"Why do you have to do that in dreams too? So this isn’t a physical problem, is it a major mental illness?"

Lette took a deep breath and got into position.

"Today, apart from Combat Energy, I won’t use any other means.

I’ll show you how I fight as a Holy Knight.

By the way, you’re in for a nightmare today."

"Honestly, I almost forgot you were a Holy Knight. This is good too, let’s fight!"
