44 Chapter 44: Revenge of a Demon

“He’s here.”

Reed turned to Devin and began heading towards a warehouse. Devin followed him. As he entered, he noticed it was dark, crowded, and noisy. Devin approached Reed after they had a look around.

“He was there,” Devin said quietly. “I suppose I should just bring you closer.”

Devin lifted his hand, and the man he was looking for floated up. Everyone, there was shocked and hurried out in dread as a result of what had happened. Devin threw the man in front of Reed.

“So you look after him,” Devin said. “I’m going.”

“Well done, Devin,” Reed said. “You may continue having sex, but not with that loud woman.”

Devin chuckled. “Okay. Be gentle...” Devin whispered before it vanished next to Reed.

When Devin abruptly vanished, the man’s eyes widened. The man cast a glance towards Reed. Fear may be seen on its face. Reed came to a dead standstill, and the man suddenly floated in the air.

Emy, on the other hand, was sitting by the pool. While reading a book, her foot got soaked. Devin sat on top of the fence, secretly watching Emy.

.....

“There’s nothing exceptional about you. Why is Reed interested in you?” Devin whispered to himself. He took a big breath and turned to Mary, who was staring out the window at Emy. He chuckled a little.

“If I didn’t know who this Maria was, I’d believe she was Reed’s rival for this woman,” Devin said gently.

“Is there anyone here?” Emy asked.

Devin then falls from the opposite side of the fence, saying, “Shit, this woman has a powerful instinct. Aw!” Devin grunted and then vanished.

When Maria arrived, there was nobody on the other side of the fence. The only object that was harmed in the region was the plant.

‘Is anyone here? Who is keeping an eye on the Queen?’ Maria thought. He took a glance around.

“Don’t murder me...”

Reed gripped the man’s neck as he lowered his feet to the ground. The man begged as he encircled Reed with his hand, suffocating him.

“Forgive me for whatever I have done, and please don’t kill me,” the man pleaded, able to properly speak because of Reed’s powerful grasp on his neck.

“Please excuse me?” Reed asked. “I don’t have the term forgiveness in my system.”

“What is your name?” The man asked.

“I am your greatest fear, human,” Reed said as his eye color changed. Reed tossed the man, who collided with the wall and tumbled to the ground. Reed did this many times on both walls until the man ran out of strength and got bleeding. He sat down next to the man and stroked his neck again, and black smoke emerged from within his body.

“No one can ever hurt my queen,” Reed said.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying...” said the man.

Reed’s jaw tightened. “Why shouldn’t you? You stabbed my queen.” Reed’s voice could be heard echoing throughout the warehouse.

Reed tightened his grasp on the man’s neck, making him afraid. The man opened his mouth.

An old woman appeared out of the void. “Are you going to murder him, although you’ve already made him pay for what he did?” Reed was unfazed. “Kill that individual, and you will pay the consequence for your actions.”

“Damn, he almost murdered my queen!” Reed yelled fiercely.

Reed’s body abruptly lifted to the floor, soared into the distance, and collided with a pillar in the middle of the warehouse.

“Does the woman still alive? You don’t have to kill him,” the elderly lady said. “And not use offensive language when you are with me, demon.”

Reed rose to his feet and leaned against a post. “She almost killed Emy, and I did nothing to save her, and even if I was there, I couldn’t save her since I didn’t have the power,” Reed explained.

“Someone else did for you that. What are you upset about if another creature protected your chosen queen?” The older woman asked. The man passed out and then rose and began walking closer to Reed.

“Devin...” Reed said. “Devin helped her.”

“He’s your cousin,” the old woman explained.

“I don’t trust him,” Reed said.

“You don’t trust him after he helped your chosen queen?” the old woman inquired.

Reed said nothing. He turned to face the unconscious man on the floor. He returned his gaze to the old woman.

“If you want to say anything, say it,” the old lady advised.

“I don’t understand,” Reed said. “You know humans did something wrong. He should have been punished, but the ones who should have punished him did nothing.”

“Which one do you not understand there, Reed?” the old lady asked.

Reed scoffs. “I don’t understand why you help such humans.”

“What makes you believe I’m helping you? You’re not human,” the old lady said. Reed did not respond; instead, he turned away and vanished from the old woman’s sight.

——

Reed entered the realm without giving it a second thought. He drank whiskey in his room. Before he shows up to Emy, he has to get his wrath under control. When he walked up to Emy covered in black smoke, he knew Emy would see what he looked like.

Reed heard a knock in his room. He gave the door a sidelong glance. He knew no one saw him arrive there, but who was pounding on his door?

“Come in...” Reed urged.

He turned around when the door opened and saw Eve. She stepped closer to him, smiling, and gradually removed her clothes.

“Eve, what are you doing here? How did you find out I was here?” Reed asked.

When Eve drew near to Reed, she seized the glass Reed was carrying and swallowed the liquor.

“Didn’t anyone inform you I was staying in your room while you were gone?” Eve explained. Eve returned the glass to Reed’s grasp.

Eve was dressed in a flimsy nightgown. He’d already noticed the delicate part of her body. Reed took a deep breath and removed his gaze from Eve. Reed’s physique was rubbed by Eve from his chest down to his hard abs till she felt his enormous bulge.

“Damn, Reed, you’re bigger than I imagined,” Eve exclaimed, biting her other lower lip.

Reed let go of Eve’s hand and walked away from her. “I’m not here for that.”

“No? Why? Is it because you have seen another woman?” Eve asked. “Does she perform better? Is she more seductive than I am? ”

Reed moved his gaze to Eve. “She’s clean, Eve. She had never been with any other man but me.” Reed said as he handed her the glass. “I don’t want you in my room, Eve. I could forget you’re a princess when I see you again the next time I come here. ”

Reed stepped out of his room. He took a deep breath and then vanished into the palace’s corridor.

——-

He saw Emy, who was sitting by the pool, reading a book on the couch bed. He grinned as she approached Emy.

“Hello,” Reed said.

“Reed...” Emy said. She rose and closed the book he was reading. “How come you’re alone now? I’ve been waiting for you. ”

Reed smirked. “Why? ”

“You left without telling me where will you go,” Emy said. Emy buried her face in Reed’s neck. She smelled him.

“Did you just smell me?” Reed asked, surprised.

“Yeah. And you stink of alcohol.” Emy said as she turned away from Reed. Reed followed her into the house.

“I drink while I’m thinking,” Reed explained.

Emy remained silent and continued walking. Reed smiled and lifted Emy, much to Emy’s surprise.

“Reed...” Emy said. “I can walk.”

“I know,” Reed said.

“Take me down,” Emy said.

Reed smiled. “Okay.”

Emy sighed as she felt the soft bed behind her. She was shocked to see that they had already entered the room, despite Reed’s recent climb of the stairs. As soon as his hand touched her skin, he was engulfed in heat. Reed’s sexual urge for Emy is growing stronger, and as a result, he is losing his interest in other women. He’d seen Eve almost nude earlier but felt nothing like he did when Emy’s skin touched his. He sees Emy’s uniqueness. And Emy is only for him.

Emy’s lips parted instinctively to welcome Reed’s warm lips. Reed’s lips collided with hers, and she closed her eyes as he suffused her body. As their tongues clashed, she arched against him, groaning into his kiss. Reed intensified their kiss. When Reed sucked her tongue, she took in a harsh breath. Reed’s hand had also become mischievous. He massaged and squeezed Emy’s breast. Reed has the sense that Emy is being swept away by his caresses and kisses, which he wishes he could, but he recalls Emy still has a wound.

“Damn it, Wifey. I want to take you, but...” Reed said. “Let’s take a break. I will not claim you while your wound is still fresh. ”

Emy irritated Reed with “Haist. Will you do this to me after you’ve seduced me? I despised you! ”

Emy turned her back on Reed. Instead of being upset, Reed chuckled at Emy’s actions. She was no longer embarrassed since he knew Emy needed him as well. Emy needs a bit more push, so he can take her to the realm. He lay down next to Emy and hugged her. She shoved his hand at first, but Emy eventually hugged her arm as well.

“You’re like a drug to me, Wifey,” Reed said quietly.
