Thomas headed straight to the second floor, after showing his token, no one hinder his way.

‘It seemed that having a noble demon title has many benefits,’ Ace mused as he followed Thomas toward the upper floor.

On the second floor, the interior was the same as the first, but there weren’t any demons on it and only a single demoness was lazing around.

However, she saw Ace and Thomas walking toward her as she quickly stood up and tidy up her clothes. She knew anyone who can enter this floor had to be a titled Baron at least, so she didn’t dare to underestimate those two youths.

“Welcome to the second floor of the Royal Demon Council Pavilion, My Lords, what can I do for you today?” She said with a beautiful smile.

Ace saw this demoness was from the ocean demon tribe by her features and she was a second-level Iron River Core cultivator, and she was just a mere receptionist here!

Thomas greeted her with a friendly smile and said, “Miss, I’m here to use my recommendation chance. I wonder if I’m allowed to?”

The demoness was astonished for a moment, and she quickly asked, “May I ask your title?”

Thomas replied, “I’m a demon earl, and I was given my title by Pavilion Head Elder Clay over two years ago.”

This time the demoness was shocked and blurted, “So, His lordship knows Pavilion Head Elder. Please wait, I’ll quickly inform him. I’m afraid I don’t have the authority to deal with His Lordship, Earl!”

Thomas nodded in acknowledgment.

The demoness didn’t dare to delay and quickly head to the upper floor to inform Clay. She knew there weren’t many who know about Clay, and only someone who had met him knew about his existence.

The demon council rules were quite strict when it came to choosing their members. Only those who passed their assessment can work for them, and they had to be impartial even if they had to declare judgment on their tribe or family.

Those who could become a council elder were all ruthless characters, although they will appear warm to you on the surface, if you dare to go against the rules of the council, they won’t hesitate to eliminate you even for a moment.

That’s how the royal demon council works. They were absolute royal to the crown, and they will eliminate anyone who shows disrespect toward the crown, regardless of who they are!

The receptionist came back quickly and said, “Your lordship, please follow me. Head Elder invites you and your friend.”

“Let’s go.”

Ace followed Thomas quietly as he observed the interior of the building, and he was astonished when he found out that his soul-shattering eyes can’t see anything abnormal about this building.

‘Either they didn’t have any security measures which is almost impossible, so, the security is a too high level for my skill.’

Ace felt quite glad that he wasn’t given the mission to rob this place, or he might have to suffer the system’s punishment this time around.

They quickly reached the top floor, which seemed to have an enormous hall and a table in the center. There were other rooms, but they were closed.

On that table were sitting three old demons,

Two of them were ocean demons, which was quite normal since this branch was in their territory they can join this branch’s staff or even rise through the ranks to become elders under the Head Elder like these two.

The old demon in the center wasn’t an ocean demon, but he had an emerald skin color with green eyes and a bald head. His greenhorns were downward curved. He was giving off a powerful feeling of authority. This was the Head Elder of this pavilion and also a member of the elder council of the royal demon council, Elder Clay!

Clay had an elderly smile on his face as he looked at Thomas. He didn’t even give Feng a look, as if he was nothing but the wind.

“Hahaha, Thomas Boy, I know it will be you or who could be an earl at such a young age.” Clay’s mild voice sounded with a hint of approval for Thomas.

Thomas smiled and politely give a noble salute before he greeted, “Elder Clay, you’re too kind. I earn this title because of you, after all.”

Clay chucked, “You earn it after passing my test, so there’s no need to act humble. Now tell me, how did you come to see this old man?”

‘Straight to the point eh, what an old wily fox. He clearly must’ve heard from that woman, but he still pretends to act ignorant. These old men from the council aren’t easy to deal with.’

Thomas cursed inwardly, but he put on a polite smile and said, “I’m here to use my recommendation chance for my friend over here. Please give your opinion.”

Ace could feel the disdain from those old men, especially the head elder. He didn’t even look at him as if he was too beneath his standards. But he remained stoic since he didn’t want to trouble Thomas.

He quickly greeted those three old demons after Thomas introduce him.

“Junior Feng of Demon Sword Tribe greeted three elders.”

Clay reacted a little and merely nodded. His smile didn’t disappear, but his disdainful eyes were telling the true story.

But those two old demons from the ocean demon tribe suddenly asked in unison, “Demon Sword, Tribe? As if the demon sword tribe, far north in the ocean demon fief?”

“Yes, junior is indeed from this tribe.”

Ace nodded, but inwardly he was cursing because he knew these two will not sit idly because of Feng’s background. He never thought the ocean demon tribe had even had two old goats in the royal demon council, but he could do nothing but sigh.

“Oh, you two know about this youngster?” Clay asked with a hint of curiosity.

He had already deemed Feng as an extremely normal demon with an above-average talent, and he thought Thomas has gone blind as he wanted to give his recommendation chance to this demon, which was simply a waste.

But these two elders’ reactions didn’t go unnoticed and this finally arouse some of his interest!
