Chapter 198 - Chapter 198 I will collect protection money!

"Rimuru's strength and influence, in my opinion, perfectly meet the conditions to be a Demon Lord."

"What are your opinions on her becoming a Demon Lord? Who is in favor, and who is against it?!"

Guy interlaced his fingers under his chin, scanning everyone present with a serious expression.

Hearing Guy's words, most of those present fell silent. Only Milim and Ramiris excitedly raised their hands and shouted:

"I agree to Rimuru becoming a Demon Lord!"

"Me too, me too!"

Seeing how enthusiastic the two were, the other Demon Lords present were quite surprised. Was this Rimuru so close to them?

And Guy seemed to be on Rimuru's side as well.

Thinking of this, everyone present suddenly realized something terrifying.

That was, none of the three oldest Demon Lords objected; instead, each of them was strongly in favor.

Moreover, that human, who was clearly not a candidate for Demon Lord, was actually taken so seriously by Guy and the others.

This Monster Country Federation was probably not to be underestimated.

"I agree."

Leon Cromwell said with an expressionless face, giving his approval.

Zhong Chen looked at the poker-faced man, secretly complaining about him in his heart.

"Is this Guy the one Shizue was looking for? Should I just kill him now?"

"Then I can tell Shizue, 'This Guy is dead, you don't have to look for him anymore.'"

"Host, you can totally try it! I'll back you up, go for it!"

"Ahem, I'm just kidding. He didn't provoke me. Do you take me for a murderer?!"

"Host, aren't you?"

"I @#$%"

Just as Zhong Chen and the System were exchanging pleasantries about each other's parents, another female voice spoke up:

"Since Guy thinks she's qualified, then I agree too!"

"Luminas, have you really thought this through? We know absolutely nothing about this person."

Dagruel, the giant, asked Luminas with a serious expression.

"There's nothing to think about, and besides, I've received news that I can't ignore."

Thinking of this news, Luminas couldn't help but show a gritting-teeth expression.

That damn stinky dragon, this time I'll show you how I'll get rid of you.

And Zhong Chen, seeing Luminas's expression, couldn't help but mourn for Veldora.

Hopefully, in your next life, you can be a good dragon. Amen!

No… the Bible God seems to be his own pet, so Amitabha… that won't work either.

This great immortal cultivates the Dao, and besides, the Buddhist sect is a place of filth and corruption, even the abbot is… you know.

Zhong Chen thought to the end and finally came up with a phrase suitable for himself: Limitless, his grandmother's Dao Venerable!

"Whew, that feels good!"

"A Chen, what feels good?"

Rimuru looked at Zhong Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing… don't mind it!"

Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Rimuru didn't ask any further, just softly said, "Oh."

"Since you all agree, then I agree too."

With Dagruel's agreement, more than half of the nine people present had agreed, basically confirming Rimuru's status as a Demon Lord.

"Does anyone else have anything to say?"

Seeing the result he wanted, Guy nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.

"No."

"None."

"Hoo… hoo… hoo…"

"That's fine, I have no objections."

As the other four Demon Lords all expressed that they had no objections, Guy began to announce the result.

"Since there are no objections, I hereby announce that from now on, Rimuru Tempest is the new Demon Lord!"

"Clap, clap, clap…"

Hearing Guy's words, everyone present gave him face by applauding.

"Hehe, please guide me in the future!"

Rimuru looked at everyone congratulating him, a bright smile on his face as he said loudly.

"Hoo… hoo… hoo…"

"I say, you sleeping fellow, do you have any objections to my Rimuru becoming a Demon Lord?"

Zhong Chen said that he had tolerated that sleeping Guy for a long time. It was always his turn to sleep while others watched.

When did it become his turn to watch others snore away? This was simply an insult to him, the master of oversleeping.

However, the other party seemed not to have heard him, still snoring away.

"Alright, alright, pretending not to hear, are we…"

After speaking, Zhong Chen stood up, while everyone else watched Zhong Chen and Dino with expressions of eager anticipation.

Zhong Chen walked in front of this slothful angel and conjured a giant trumpet, two meters wide, out of thin air.

The moment Zhong Chen took out the trumpet, everyone else present immediately put up soundproof barriers around themselves.

Zhong Chen then held up the trumpet, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly into it:

"Kid, your mom is calling you home for dinner!!!"

As Zhong Chen shouted, a visible sound wave emanated from the trumpet's mouth, directly hitting Dino's ears.

"Aaaaaah!!! Did the world explode?!"

Dino immediately sprang up like a startled cat, and seeing this, everyone else burst into laughter.

"Wahahaha, Dino, you finally got what you deserved! Why didn't I think of this good idea before!"

Milim stood up, hands on her hips, and shouted happily at Dino.

"Indeed, I've wanted to do this for a long time too. This Guy always sleeps during meetings; it feels like there's no difference whether he's here or not."

"Heh heh, truly satisfying. Is your name Zhong Chen? I admire you!"

Luminas showed a refreshed expression and praised Zhong Chen.

Hearing her words, Zhong Chen put down the large trumpet, gave Luminas a thumbs-up, and responded loudly with a smile.

"Ho ho, you don't need to admire big brother; big brother is destined to be the man you can't have!"

"You… who wants to have you?! I'm praising your actions, your actions!"

Luminas's expression froze slightly at Zhong Chen's words, then she shouted in anger.

"Nani! You actually don't want to have such an excellent man like big brother?!"

Zhong Chen showed a mischievous smile and continued to tease her.

"Where do you get such confidence?! What makes you so excellent?!"

Hearing her words, Zhong Chen couldn't help but puff out his chest and said:

"I can… I can…"

Zhong Chen spoke while thinking about what he could do. Cooking? He didn't seem to know how, but he could eat.

Playing chess? Damn it, he couldn't beat that cowardly dragon.

He even lost to Milim in Ludo every time.

Could it be that he only knew how to play marbles? Thinking of his marble skills, comparable to Jashin-chan's, Zhong Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

What exactly can I do? Artifact refining, array formations, various divine abilities? What's the use of these? They can't even improve my marble skills.

After all, Zhong Chen still had his principles. Cheating to win at marbles wasn't a true victory; such a victory would only bring endless emptiness.

Suddenly, Zhong Chen remembered what he could do. Then, with a smile and a defiant look, he shouted at Luminas:

"This old man can collect protection fees!!!"

"Collect protection fees!!!"

"Protection fees!!!"
