This man was dressed quite elegantly, looking like an elite at first glance.
Currently, he was sulking in the shadows as he watched Constantine and the others leave, looking as if Constantine had ruined his plans.
"Balthazar?"
Suddenly, Fang Yuan appeared beside him, giving the man quite a fright.
"It's you? The man who was with Constantine?"
Balthazar looked around in panic, only breathing a sigh of relief after realizing the Exorcist wasn't there.
He was one of the Demons from Hell and a subordinate of Mammon, doing Gabriel's dirty work to welcome Mammon's arrival.
Despite his arrogance in front of Constantine, Balthazar was still somewhat afraid of him; after all, he was currently in a human body and couldn't exert much power.
Constantine was full of tricks and knew many strange techniques; it wouldn't be hard for him to send Balthazar back to Hell.
How could the desolate Hell be as much fun as the human world?
However, Balthazar didn't know that the person in front of him was far more dangerous than Constantine.
"Stupid human, you dare come before me?" With a sinister grin, he reached out toward Fang Yuan, intending to seize him by the throat.
But portals suddenly appeared in front of Balthazar and behind his head; instead of touching Fang Yuan, Balthazar's hand passed through the portal and came out behind him, grabbing his own neck.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Balthazar quickly stopped, then looked up in surprise.
"I was wondering why those Demons suddenly went silent. It turns out you moved them!"
He was naturally referring to the Demons that had gone to attack Constantine; in reality, Fang Yuan had "borrowed" them from him.
"A mage?" Balthazar was somewhat surprised. "Almost no mages have appeared on Earth for the last thousand years!"
"Hehehe, just kill me."
Having seen Fang Yuan's methods, Balthazar knew he was no match for him, yet he showed no fear. Instead, he shouted arrogantly, "I'll wait for you in Hell!"
These foolish humans had no idea who was collaborating with him this time; even if he died, that person would simply step in personally, and humans wouldn't be able to stop them.
"Gabriel? Is that where your confidence comes from?" To his surprise, Fang Yuan saw right through his thoughts.
Balthazar was stunned.
Knowing his master Mammon wanted to descend to the human world wasn't that big of a deal; Psychics often had such precognitive abilities.
But knowing that Gabriel was helping them?
That was highly unusual.
Balthazar was certain his side hadn't leaked the news.
It couldn't be that Gabriel's side had let it slip, could it?
"And you call yourselves Demons, yet you actually believe an Angel's word?" Fang Yuan suddenly mocked Balthazar intensely, making him flush with anger.
"What do you know? This is..."
Balthazar wanted to argue back, but Fang Yuan ended the debate with a single sentence.
"Gabriel revealed this; she plans to lure Mammon here and then kill him!"
Balthazar's expression froze instantly.
"W-what?" He even began to stutter.
Instinctively, he didn't believe Fang Yuan, but compared to the famous Angel Gabriel collaborating with Demons to destroy the human world, the possibility of Gabriel setting a trap to kill Mammon seemed much more likely.
"Who are you? How do you know this?" Balthazar asked quickly.
Fang Yuan equipped the [Bruce Template], activated the [Dark Affinity Aura (S-Rank)], and then used Dark Magic to emit a massive amount of dark energy.
"Take a guess?" Fang Yuan threw the question back at Balthazar.
But Balthazar's eyes suddenly widened as if he were seeing some unspeakable horror. His body slumped, and he immediately knelt before Fang Yuan, bowing. "My Lord Satan!"
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly; yet another person mistaking him for Satan.
He thought about it for a moment and realized it must be because of [Dark Affinity]. The power of an S-Rank aura was simply too great; he usually held back, but once fully unleashed, its attraction to dark-aligned beings was unparalleled.
"I did not know it was you in person. Please forgive my sins!"
He shuffled on his knees over to Fang Yuan, lowering his head as if to kiss Fang Yuan's shoes, but Fang Yuan dodged him in disgust.
"I am not Satan," he clarified first.
There was a real Satan in this World, and they might deal with each other in the future. Fang Yuan couldn't risk causing trouble for himself just for a momentary boast.
"And forgiveness is something for Heaven; Hell doesn't care for such things," Fang Yuan remarked.
To his surprise, this made Balthazar even more panicked.
As a Demon, he could naturally assess the situation; in his perception, the other's energy was impossibly dark. Although it wasn't hellish energy, this pure darkness was even more terrifying.
And this way of speaking was truly very Satan-like.
A flash of realization crossed his mind: no matter who this person was, they were someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Demons were accustomed to being turncoats, so Balthazar immediately expressed his loyalty to Fang Yuan, even though he didn't even know Fang Yuan's name yet.
Fang Yuan naturally dismissed the loyalty offered by a Demon, but he was quite interested in Mammon behind Balthazar, so he didn't dwell on it.
"Can you contact Mammon?" Fang Yuan asked with interest. "I'd like to have a chat with him."
Balthazar paused for a moment, then nodded quickly.
Just passing on a message was a trivial matter; he had thought Fang Yuan wanted him to be a mole near Gabriel.
"But what should I say?" Balthazar asked. "Um... your identity?"
"Call me... Black King." Fang Yuan picked the most suitable title from his many templates. "You can say I'm a deity from another world looking to discuss a collaboration."
He equipped the [Thor Template], and the divine power radiating from him left Balthazar without a shadow of a doubt.
He hurried off to contact his master. In fact, even if Fang Yuan hadn't intended to find Mammon, Balthazar would have had to give Mammon a call anyway; after all, whether Gabriel was truly helping them required their boss to make the final call.
And he wasn't the only one in a hurry. Chas drifted all the way, quickly bringing Constantine to the Cathedral.
"How was that, John?" Chas tossed his chin proudly at Constantine. "The driving skills of a super Psychic!"
The response he got was—"Blegh!"
After a long while, Constantine wiped his mouth. He hadn't expected that a mere ten-minute drive could actually make him car-sick.
"Next time, I'm driving!" he said crossly.
Then he called Chas and walked straight into the church to find Gabriel.
"Gabriel, the Demon Mammon plans to descend to the human world, and he's already in motion!" Constantine said as soon as he spoke.
Gabriel's eyes narrowed instantly, looking very surprised.
"Huh?"
