Demon Lord's Reincarnation

In any case, my attention was sent to the report that Morales, one of the officers the president sent over who had beef with Artem, started to dig into Quezon City instead of going with the flow of just clearing the areas around the coast.

But yeah, I should mention that he set up an outpost right on the University of the East, which was on the opposite side of the love hotel and the other university we cleared out last time, where we also first discovered the slurpers/stitchers hanging by the train station.

He was leading a group to try and make contact with the other communities located in that city, especially the ones right next or maybe even at the news station where we encountered one of their helicopters from last time but he also had an officer leading another group to slowly whittle down and clear out the train stations and the surrounding areas.

He had other officers like Jose to whom he could give direct orders and leave important responsibilities but now that Jose was in Cuervo Heights with the Major, the one he assigned as a stand-in for Jose\'s absence at the harbor might be up for a permanent spot or a promotion.

\'I don\'t mind him doing things on his own but he should\'ve stuck with clearing the train stations further down the LRT Line 1 so we\'d have another route to Iskoh\'s address… But yeah, it could be the president\'s orders for all we know…\'

This was one of those times I let the president do his thing with his soldiers—even though they also almost always listen to my orders as well—but there should be something or someone really important around those parts if they\'d make the executive decision to travel to those parts.

Because if it was me, and since the president had a direct line with Oscar, he\'d probably do the same thing Oscar did and build up relations with our newest guests but he was probably growing tired of the guests he had on his turf because several representatives from different countries were sent to his direction.

The last thing he wanted now was more people to get into contact with or he probably just let me and Oscar handle this shit on our side of the map because that was what partnerships were for.

But then again, it seemed like I\'d read far too quickly and skipped a few things that didn\'t matter to me as much because I didn\'t even notice that Rin turned to me with a concern of sorts while everyone was looking at me once again. However, this time, Allan was standing at the front with Jenny holding hands, and they seemed to be asking me a very~ important fucking question.

And I didn\'t hear a lick of it.

So, I had to pretend I was in shock:

"Wha— N-No way— Tell that to me again one more time…"

Allan absolutely fell for it as he repeated himself with a huge smile, "Dude! I\'ve known you all my life— Wait, that doesn\'t sound right… I\'ve known you for years—" then he turned to Jenny, "Is that better?"

Jenny nodded and chuckled before she answered, "Sure~"

Then Allan turned back to me again, "I\'ve known you all these years dude and you\'ve saved my life when I got stuck— no, you saved our lives when we got stuck in the supermarket and instead of just leaving with me, you decided to save everyone else inside… and for that, we thank you for the bottom of our hearts because doing that made us found each other…"

\'Where is this going?\'

"We… We know it\'s a bad time but when\'s a good time nowadays, you know? Even Jay didn\'t pull out from Faith and now she\'s pregnant— Ow! Jenny, what the fuck?!"

"You didn\'t have to say that part! And they\'re over there!"

Looking at the back, Jay and Faith were instead dying laughing and it was just a testament due to how well they knew Allan all this time so Allan threw Jenny a smug look before taking a kick to his shin:

"A-Alright, it\'s my fault… I\'ll stop! A-Anyway, dude… You just mean that much to us and we basically owe you our lives so what better way to go the whole circle than for you to marry us— B-Before you say anything, I know how it is with you and the almighty but it\'s just a simple wedding like you\'re the judge of some sort a-and we just want you—"

I finally understood the assignment as I cut him off, "I\'ll be honored dude, when?"

"Now?"

"WHAT?! NOW?!"

Allan couldn\'t believe his eyes, "Are you even listening dude?! I already said that when\'s a good time to get married— and I even wore a bow tie! You know it took me five hours to get it right?!"

"HUH?! THAT\'S A CLIP-ON YOU JUST HOOK ON YOUR SHIRT—"

"I GAVE UP ALRIGHT?! THERE! HAPPY?!"

"THEN HOW DID YOU GET IT RIGHT?!"

"BY GIVING UP! THAT\'S HOW! ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY?!"

"..."

"SPEAK UP, DUDE! WHAT?!"

"I give up… You two really wanna do it now?" I turned to Jenny instead, "I\'m actually ordained, if that matters."

Jenny couldn\'t be more happy, "Wait, for real?!"

"Yeah, better to be ordained and not have to marry random people off the streets than to not be ordained and need to marry friends I met along the way, no?"
