Although they were devil nobles and not short of money, ten million dollars was still a considerable sum. More importantly, the woman's attitude in extorting money was extremely arrogant.
"Are you trying to blackmail us?" Rias frowned, unconsciously radiating the aura of a high-ranking demon.
"NONONO," Nan Lixiang shook her finger, wearing an innocent expression that said, "I'm a law-abiding citizen." "This is a fair trade. You pay, we leave. You can have Zhou Ye all tonight. How about that? Pretty good deal, right?"
The situation in the corridor has evolved from a two-way standoff to a three-way melee.
Nami and Saeko looked warily at Minami Rika, and also at Rias and Akeno.
Rias and Akeno were debating whether to use force to clear 893 cases or to resolve the issue with money.
Meanwhile, Nanri Kaori and the adorably bewildered Shizuka Marikawa behind her acted like catfish stirring up trouble, making the waters increasingly murky.
Six women, representing three different factions, were locked in a tense standoff in the corridor leading to Zhou Ye's room.
The smell of gunpowder in the air was almost tangible.
At this critical moment.
【Click.】
A soft click of a door lock turning echoed from the other end of the corridor.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing everyone's fighting spirit.
Six pairs of eyes turned in unison to look in that direction.
Gil Valentine's door opened.
The former STARS member, dressed in a smart gray sports vest and shorts, leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed and a blank expression.
Her gaze, like the most precise radar, slowly swept over everyone present.
From Nami in her decisive pajamas to Saeko wielding her sword.
From Nanri Kaori, who looked like a shrewd businesswoman, to Shizuka Marikawa, who was trembling behind her.
Finally, the blame fell on the two demon girls who were clearly not "human".
The entire corridor was completely silent.
Jill sighed and rubbed her temples.
"I thought I had made myself very clear."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, the aura of a law enforcer.
"Today's farce ends here."
"Go back to your rooms and sleep."

Jill's voice carried an undeniable air of command, like ice water poured over someone's head, instantly chilling the tense atmosphere in the corridor.
However, there are always those who don't play by the rules.
"Ah la la..."
A voice, both alluring and languid yet full of provocation, broke the brief silence.
Himejima Akeno stepped forward gracefully, her semi-transparent black lace kimono outlining breathtaking curves in the dim light.
She covered her mouth, her purple eyes curving into crescents as she looked at Jill with a smile.
"Miss Jill, you can't say that."
Jill frowned: "What are you trying to say?"
"I reject."
Himejima Akeno's answer was concise and to the point, without any hesitation.
The smile on her face remained unchanged, but the smile in her eyes faded, replaced by a seriousness that was almost like a declaration.
"Go back to sleep? This isn't a problem that can be solved by just going back to sleep."
She looked around at everyone present; her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
“Miss Jill, you are a woman too, you should understand.”
"This is neither nonsense nor farce."
Himejima Akeno's voice suddenly rose, carrying a bewitching magic.
"This is war!"
【war!】
These two words, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up a storm in the hearts of every girl.
Nami clenched her fists.
[Damn it! This woman actually made her point so clearly!]
Nanriko stroked her chin, her expression becoming playful.
Saeko Busujima's eyes were full of approval.
Jill's face darkened completely.
"Himejima Akeno, don't spread alarmist rumors here!"
"Alarmist?"
Akeno Himejima chuckled softly, "I'm just stating a fact."
She stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the closed door at the end of the corridor, the epicenter of all the wars.
"Given Ye's strength and charm, do you think he'll only have a few women around him in the future?"
This question, like a needle, precisely pierced everyone's weak spot.
No one can answer.
Because the answer is obvious.
Himejima Akeno looked at the crowd's reactions with satisfaction and continued her speech.
"We are the first batch."
"If we don't seize the opportunity now to secure a favorable position and establish our status, what will we have to compete with the second and third waves of people when they arrive?"
"Are we supposed to wait until then, and then unite and whine about how those who come after us lack martial virtue?"
Her words were sharp and biting, yet so realistic that they were impossible to refute.
"so,"
Himejima Akeno's gaze finally settled on Gil, her purple eyes burning with fierce flames. "You're telling us to go back to sleep now, not to maintain order, but to cut off all our escape routes!"
"Gil Valentine, you will also be one of Ye's women in the future. Why are you standing up now to play the villain?"
"I……"
Jill was speechless after hearing this.
She discovered that the principles and order she was so proud of seemed so pale and powerless on this battlefield filled with primal desires.
Just as the atmosphere in the corridor was completely ignited by Himejima Akeno, and a new storm was about to break out.
[Click——]
A soft sound suddenly rang out.
The door to Zhou Ye's room—the core of all struggles and the end of all desires—suddenly opened.
In an instant, the entire corridor fell into a deathly silence.
All the arguments, all the scheming, all the fighting spirit vanished in that moment.
Seven women, eight pairs of eyes, all fixed on the slowly opening door.
Was Zhou Ye woken up?
Nami's heart leaped into her throat, and her face instantly contorted with guilt at being caught red-handed.
Rias was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and her forced "official wife" aura instantly collapsed.
However, the man who came out from behind the door was not the one they had expected.
Instead, it was someone they absolutely could not have imagined.
Its silver-white metallic body, with its smooth lines, exudes a sense of technological and powerful beauty. Dragon-wing-like armor retracts at its back, and on a face so exquisitely detailed it seems unreal, blue electronic eyes flash with data streams.
Mechanical Dragon Girl, Draig.
She walked out of Zhou Ye's room in such a blatant and uninhibited manner.
At this moment, time stood still.
The air freezes.
Nami, Rias, Akeno Himejima, Rika Minami, Shizuka Marikawa, Saeko Busujima, and even Gilgamesh all wore expressions of disbelief.
Their faces turned deathly pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A terrifying thought exploded in everyone's minds at the same time.
[My base has been raided! My base has been raided!]
We were fighting tooth and nail outside, but... but it turns out there was already someone inside?!
[And she's a mechanical dragon girl?!]
Nami felt a sudden dizziness and almost lost her balance.
They spent half a day fighting outside, exchanging sharp words and forming alliances, but in the end... in the end, the other party had already finished?
What's this all about? The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits?
No! This fisherman isn't even human!
As Draig looked at the row of petrified women at the door, a vivid expression of schadenfreude and a desire to stir up trouble appeared on his highly human-like face.
She cleared her throat and spoke in a voice that was both electronically synthesized and remarkably lively:
