"He is my mistake, one that needs to be corrected."
Belphegor said, looking at Bologue, "Likewise, he is also a traitor, a traitor who needs to be executed."
In Belphegor's always lazy demeanor, Bologue saw a rare anger. If Bai Ou were only betraying Belphegor, he might not care much; such betrayal is too common among Devils. But Bai Ou didn't just betray; he almost completely destroyed the Unfettered Poetry Society, severing the endless verses, something Belphegor absolutely wouldn't tolerate.
The rest need not be said; this was a deal, a cold deal. If Bologue accepted Belphegor's power, he would be able to withstand the impact of the Injury of Bliss, but he would also have to deliver Bai Ou's head to Belphegor.
"It's a profitable deal, Bologue."
Seeing Bologue remain silent, Belphegor continued, "It's just temporary protection, after which, there'll be no relation between us."
"Really no relation?"
Listening to Belphegor, Bologue sneered, "Do you believe what you just said?"
