Meow, meow, meow—
Surrounded by a group of cats, Lu Li arrived at the Stealing Demon's treasure room with the demon guards.
They lingered outside the treasure room, not daring to enter, as the so-called "treasure room" displayed the soulless shells of cats like specimens.
Confirming that there was nothing he wanted here, Lu Li changed his approach: "Where does the Town Mayor store the souls?"
"The study."
"Take me there."
Leading the group of cats, Lu Li and the demon guards headed upstairs. Along the way, they encountered some servants cleaning and tidying the mansion, who also remained indifferent to Lu Li.
"Were the servants made by the Stealing Demon?" Lu Li speculated on the reason.
"Yes, Town Mayor."
"What about you?"
"Me too."
"Do you follow the orders of the Stealing Demon?"
"I follow the orders of the Town Mayor."
Thus, Lu Li, who had replaced the Stealing Demon as the "new Town Mayor," took advantage of a loophole.
