Chapter 215: Fifth Stop - Envy (2)

The tea room was a very small room furnished with only the bare basics. It had practically nothing and no servants were allowed inside the room while the meeting was in session. Shittomi sat on the opposite end of the table while Baal sat beside Zero with his back straight, looking every ounce of regal. Zero tried to copy that posture initially but gave up after his back started hurting and opted for something less rigid but maintaining the same dignity.

"It has been some time since I last saw you, Lord Baal. You've grown."

"Indeed, it has. I owe it all to both yours and Lord Lucifer's guidance."

Zero was mentally shocked at the complete change. Was this the same sloppy Demon Lord who refused to do work and would never change out of his sleepwear? The young doctor had a hard time processing it. If meeting Solo was life-changing, Baal's perfect acting was world-changing.
