Conference 1

The old devils are currently in a panic right now. Teleportation systems and the communication systems stopped working and they got a message to attend a conference from an unknown source. This conference works like a video conference on the internet but this will have projections instead of videos. All of them attended it and found familiar faces at the conference. And the host of this conference is the person they hate the most. They shouted at him about what the hell is going on.

"Good day, everyone who attended this conference. I know you have a lot of questions but I would like you to shut your mouth because I am the host. I already put you guys on mute. So, I won't be able to hear no matter how much you shout at present." (Diehauser)

The old devils realized that they couldn't hear each other's voices which means they are on mute. So, they angrily shut their mouths. The old devils hate Diehauser to the core because how they aren't able to control his match's outcome even though the other side uses the King Piece.

"Very well. About how I can conduct this meeting would be a secret. Just know that some people you don't know worked hard for this. Anyway, most of you might be able to guess why I want to talk with you. I was able to obtain something interesting from you."

Diehauser showed the King Piece he obtained. The old devils were on mute but Diehauser can clearly understand that they were shouting 'So, you are the one who stole it!'.

"Calm down. I think you don't understand the situation. Not just teleportation and communication, the broadcast system of the Underworld was also taken over. If you made me angrier than I already am, the information about King Piece and the corruption behind the Rating Games will be live throughout the underworld." (Diehauser)

The old devils were still shouting after hearing this. Diehauser could easily guess what they were shouting. So, he replied.

"Ah, if you think of threatening me or killing me and my family, do you think I am not ready for that when I decided to achieve this much of a feat?" (Diehauser)

Instantly, they stopped shouting and clicked their tongue. They understood that they have no choice but to listen silently to what Diehauser wants to say.

"Thank you for your patience. Now, I don't really care about this King Piece which multiplies the power of user by more than 100 times, or how you are using this to corrupt the rating games. The main thing is about how I came to know about this thing... Cleria Belial, my cousin. You know her, right?" (Diehauser)

Sweat poured through the Old Devils' foreheads now that Diehauser has the reins and his expression is damn serious.

"My dear cousin is dead. Before her death, she once talked to me about this King Piece... I should have believed her that time... But since I didn't believe her, she investigated this herself and was killed because she found out the truth. But she was not that foolish. She made it so that her information would reach her brother even though she's dead. And her brother is currently thirsty for revenge which led to the present situation." (Diehauser)

The old devils gulped after hearing that. If Diehauser did something crazy like spreading information about the King Piece throughout the underworld, then they will become villains to the fans of rating games and reincarnated devils. Their whole business will go down.

"Haa... But I don't exactly know which one of you did it. So, I have no intention of taking revenge on someone who is not involved with my sister's death. So, here's your chance. Give me the names of people responsible for it and after I have my revenge, you can have this back. I am taking you from mute. Give me the names." (Diehauser)

The old devils didn't understand if Diehauser knew the whole truth or not. All the old devils were involved in framing Cleria Belial. They thought he already knows.

"Or was it every one of you?" (Diehauser)

Immediately they panicked. "Zekram Bael," One of them said. The old devils understood what the plan was. Push the blame onto Bael. And it was also true that the Zekram Bael is the one who ordered Cleria's death even though he got tricked by them.

The other devils instantly agreed and started pushing the whole blame to Bael Clan.

"Are you saying that the Great King is the one who is leading this corruption?" (Diehauser)

"Yes!" All of them agreed. Diehauser who was serious until now started smiling.

"I want to ask you something, Old Devils. You are so prideful that you won't allow the reincarnated devils to win in rating games, you are too prideful that you people killed my sister to keep that secret. But where did that pride go when you just had to admit the things that you did with the same pride?" (Diehauser)

Now, the Old devils understood that he was just playing with them. They clicked their tongues.

"I forgot to tell you something. You can only see me and your other companions but there is also another person who is attending this meeting. So, what do you have to say about these statements, Zekram Bael-sama?"

Instantly the projection of the Great King appeared at the conference. "Ho... So, I am the one who is corrupting the rating games using these king pieces huh?" (Zekram)

"Zekram Bael-sama..." All the old devils gulped at once.

"Before I speak about this matter, I won't fall for the trick that old devils fell for, Mr.Champion. So, could you please tell us who else is attending this meeting secretly?" (Zekram)

Diehauser smiled and snapped his fingers. Instantly, all the people who are attending the conference are presented.

"All the heads of major clans along with the ones who are currently with a King Piece in their custody. Oh, and also the Four Great Maous." (Diehauser)

Zekram rubbed his forehead after hearing the names and sighed. Sirzechs and Serafall are visibly shocked at the event, and Ajuka is a little frustrated about how someone took over the underworld system and he wasn't able to get it back and the fourth one, Euclid is visibly laughing at the situation. Most of the nobles are visibly angry about how the truth about the King Piece is kept secret from them. And also, there is Lord Belial who is furious not at his son but the Old devils for Cleria's 'death'.

After a long sigh, Zekram spoke "First, let me do this." He stood up and bowed even though everyone was looking. "I apologize for being tricked and becoming responsible for Cleria Belial's unfortunate death." The apology was directed to Diehauser and also Lord Belial.

"Now, about this corruption of rating games that I am leading. Would you like to tell me more about it?" Zekram directed his question to the ones who blamed him for that. All of them gulped at once.

"You corrupt the rating games, then you trick me to kill an innocent child for finding out your dirty work, then you blame me when questioned about it. I know you are prideful about your Pure Blood but what kind of Pride makes you cheat instead of facing it head-on, what kind of pride makes you kill others for knowing that you cheated and what kind of Pride will not even allow you to accept what you did?!" (Zekram)

Zekram became furious at the old devils. He didn't care that everyone is watching. He sighed and said, "Lord Belial, what do you think of what your son did and how he put your whole family in danger?" (Zekram)

"I am proud of you, son." (Lord Belial)

Diehauser smiled at his father's answer. "Thank you, father"

"See that? That's what you call Pride." Zekram said. "Anyway, Mr.Champion, I don't think you made this conference for me to shout at these fools. Who is behind you and what are their demands?"

Diehauser smiled "About who I am working for will be a secret. And their demand is simple. They just want all the rating games to take place without corruption from now. To ensure that, they want to personally destroy all the King Pieces in your custody."
