Thanos, standing in the shadows, did not speak but quietly folded his arms, though the expression on his face clearly acknowledged the statements of his "colleagues."
In fact, even if the Demon King did not acknowledge their claim to the territory, it wouldn't matter, as Hell, which always followed the law of the jungle, respected strength above all; he who has the biggest fist is the one who has the truth.
They had already formed a de facto separate rule.
If the Demon King chose to confront them, the worst that could happen was both sides turning against each other.
But in Thanos's view, the likelihood of such a scenario occurring was not high.
After all, if they did turn against each other, the Demon King would lose not only the territory but also, it was feared, the trust of Demon City, being put in a passive position.
All of this was purely Thanos's own reasoning.
And in reality, it was far from the truth.
