It was the middle of the night.
Pei Jinye received a message from Sea Words.
Ghost Fang had a request.
In fact, when Sea Words contacted Pei Jinye, his heart was thumping wildly.
For someone of his level, Ghost Fang was the superior of his superiors.
He himself had never imagined that one day such a bigwig from the organization would "kindly" call him Little Sea.
"Little Sea, help me contact Demon King and tell him there's an urgent matter."
...
Last time, in their hasty parting, Ghost Fang forgot to ask Pei Jinye for a secure two-way communication channel.
This time, after a great deal of trouble to finally get in touch with Pei Jinye, he asked for a way to communicate, and Pei Jinye provided it.
[Demon King, there is an operation against the remnants of the Sand Flame Association, are you available?]
[Has the Sand Flame Association not been eradicated?] Pei Jinye asked.
