Chapter 371 The Subordinates of the Ruler of Hell

Zachary was very fearful that he would never see Lilly, his dad and brothers, his grandparents, and all

his uncles again….

He realized fully now that he missed everything so much. He even missed everything at home including

the plants, that noisy parrot, and the flowers. He could not part ways with everything just yet.

Lilly tried to comfort him when she saw that he was crying profusely, “Everything’s alright now. See.

you’ve made a successful return, haven’t you?”

Pablo who was next to them suddenly asked. “Did you know who was the one ordering you to write

your name? Did you see his face?”

Zachary would never expect to see a “ghost” floating next to him right now!

He shuddered greatly and gasped. His heartbeat monitor began to beep loudly as the digits shown

reached 120.

It was beeping rapidly.

Drake asked, “What’s wrong with you, Zac?”

Did he see a ghost?

The nurse reached the ward in no time, and after checking the surveillance video, the nurse urged

everyone to leave, “The patient needs to rest after major surgery. I implore you to leave for now!”

Anthony and the others nodded, and after exchanging some brief words with Bettany, they left.

Bettany and Liam stayed in the ward for the night to watch over Zachary while the others resumed their

jobs. In the end, Jack and Bryson, who was enjoying his break, were the ones to stay in the ward with

Zachary, Lilly could not leave him alone as well.

Bryson sent the others out so that only Lilly and Pablo were left in the ward.

Lilly began to introduce Pablo to Zachary, “Zac, this is my master!”

Zachary was speechless.

He finally understood now. No wonder Lilly would sometimes talk to the air as if talking to someone

invisible. It turned out that it was this master that she had mentioned before.

In fact, Pablo was a good-looking “ghost”. He had accentuated eyes and a sculpted nose, and his

jawline was almost perfect… It was too bad that Zachary was not fixated on such superficial features.

All he could think about was that Pablo was nothing more than a “ghost”.

Zachary could not be at case especially when he saw how pale Pablo’s face was. The pale color on his

face. was a stark contrast to his maroon lip color.

Pablo asked again, “Do you remember anything about that person who kept asking you to write your

name?”

Zachary shook his head. “I can’t remember anything now.”

Pablo pressed on. “Was he tall or short? Was he fat or slim? Was he male or female?”

1/4

Zachary hummed but could not produce any answer.

Pablo felt that this was a grave matter. The souls who departed to Hell would not just stop and wait at

the entrance like how Zachary had encountered one. That gure was asking, Zachary to write down his

name which was a bad sign in hindsight.

Who could that person be?

Pablo was relentless, “What else did you see?”

Zachary racked his brain, “I saw Lilly actually.

Lilly froze a little before gasping, “Was I in Hell too?”

Zachary shook his head, “I don’t know, but I remember that I was in a huge palace kind of place, and

there were statues all over the place. I remember seeing Behemoth and Leviathan, the Grim Reaper…

I even saw Beelzebub, Leopard Devil, Bird Devil, Fish Devil, and sect Devil.”

Pablo felt weird, “How were you able to recognize them with such clarity?”

Zachary was confused too, “Actually, I have no idea how I was able to recognize them instantly…”

Did he play too many games? That was because those were names that were sometimes used in

popular culture. Did he remember that subconsciously?

However, the more he thought about it, the more he knew that that was not the case. He had never

encountered any game characters who shared those names.

Pablo’s face grew grimmer, “Go on.”

Zachary paused a little before continuing in a weak voice, “Then, I saw that right in front of the palace.

there’s a sign that said ‘Palace of the Ruler of Hell, and behind it was a huge throne and desk. Lilly was

sitting on the throne. She warned me that I shouldn’t be there at that time, and she was the one who

sent me away with a wave of his hand. After that, I came to my senses here just now.”

Lilly was astonished. She was sitting on the throne that belonged to the Ruler of Hell?

Lilly did not know that she was indeed the Ruler of Hell. She was amazed by what she learned.

Pablo’s voice was a notch deeper, “Based on your description, you for sure have gone to Hell and

come back, but everything doesn’t really add up.”

If someone’s soul wandered, the most it could do was wander in the human realm for some time. When

that person woke up, his or her soul would immediately return to his or her body,

There was no one like Zachary whose soul somehow went all the way to Hell and he was able to return

somehow. To top it off, he even met the Ruler of Hell fmself.

There were ten palaces in Hell, and there were different governors for every palace. However, the

Ruler of Hell governed over life and death. The Ruler of Hell was the ultimate king of Hell.

Once Lilly came to the human realm, the Ruler of Hell’s duties were delegated to the other places. Only

some of Lilly’s subordinates would do the menial, everyday work. Pablo was one good example as he

had to frequent the other palaces for regular meetings.

In the palace of the Ruler of Hell, only statues could be seen there.

Zachary asked, “Then, what was happening to me?”

Pablo answered him. “There were ten main subordinates who were loyal to the Ruler of Hell. They

were Behemoth, Leviathan, Grim Reaper, Beelzebub, Mamirion, Asmodeus, Leopard Devil, Bird Devil,

Fish Devil, and Insect Devil. Those were the statues that you have seen in the palace.”

Lilly counted with her fingers and wondered out loud. “Why do those names sound so weird? Especially

Fish Devil and Insect Devil… Are there fishes and insects in Hell too?”

Pablo explained patiently.

After listening to him, Lilly was still not satisfied, “That’s not right, according to my calculations, there

should be eleven subordinates.”

Zachary thought the same. There were two Grim Reapers and two chiefs of the devils, Behemoth and

Leviathan. If he counted those four as two groups, then there were only nine subordinates in total.

Pablo explained, “The Grim Reapers are counted as one entity.”

Zachary and Lilly stared at each other upon hearing that.

They were curious about the reasoning behind it.

“Why don’t you count Behemoth and Leviathan as one too, then?” Lilly decided to voice out her

questions, “It’s not fair at all to count those as two while we count the Grim Reapers as one. Why can’t

there be only nine of them? Or we can count everyone individually and we would have eleven of them.”

Pablo’s mouth twitched.

He did not know why as well. Maybe they should ask the Ruler of Hell himself.

Pablo shot her a look and ignored her question. He continued, “These are not the only ones working for

the Ruler of Hell. The Four Great Judges, Madame Maya, and the Fortress Guardian were all under

him, not to mention the countless monsters and creatures acting as his army.”

Lilly finally understood now, “Oh, I see.”

Zachary muttered, “I see, that’s a lot of new things I learn today.”

Pablo asked, “That being said, Zachary, who do you think you are in this context?”

Pablo kept staring at Zachary after saying that.

He did not know the details of the chronicles of the Little Hades. All he knew was that it would even be

a “coincidence” to bump into Lilly as long as he got ahold of that booklet.

Zachary was befuddled. He could not understand what Pablo meant.

Lilly was also confused, “Master, what are you even saying?”

Pablo saw that Zachary did not react unusually to his words. He must be overthinking…

The Four Great Judges, the Grim Reaper, and both Behemoth and Leviathan were on duty right now.

Madame Maya, which was Gracie’s real identity, had made her appearance.

He did not know about Mammon and Asmodeus’ whereabouts either.

He also did not know about Beelzebub, though.

As for the Fortress Guardian… They were everywhere as long as there were cities, and the lowly

creatures who reported to them were naturally residing in Hell, waiting for orders.

When Pablo thought about the Leopard Devil, the Bird Devil, and the Fish Devil… something was

knocking at the back of his head. His mouth twitched in response.

“Nevermind,” Pablo rubbed his forehead, “You guys won’t understand me even if I were to tell you this

time.”

Lilly rolled her eyes at him. He was using this excuse again.

It was as if Pablo was taking her for a child!

However, Zachary seemed to understand immediately. He yelped, “Do you mean that I-I-I am one of

the Ruler of Hell’s subordinates?”

His eyes widened.

This was crazy!

It seemed that something more fun than computer games was taking place in his life.

He did not need to worry about getting teased and seduced into an internet relationship by other girls

as well!

“I must be the prince of the devils, Beelzebub, then!” Zachary proclaimed proudly, and all of a sudden,

his scalp was not tingling anymore.

He always thought about his purpose in life and his calling whenever he was all alone at night.

Finally, he stumbled upon his very destiny!

Pablo was speechless, “Hey, don’t jump to such a nonsense conclusion like that…”

Zachary continued to babble in joy, “Lils, I must be Beelzebub! If you go to Hell in the future, don’t

worry, I will watch out for you!”

Lilly was excited as well, “You promise me!”

Pablo was nervous, “Hey, hey…”

Zachary’s eyes were brimming with hope, “When I am in Hell later on, I will make sure you can get in

by shortcut behind the Ruler of Hell’s back. I will make sure you can hold a prestigious position there so

that you can have a good afterlife!”

Lilly chipped in excitedly, “I can’t wait!”

Pablo was utterly speechless.
