116 Chapter 116: The Hellhound

“You can see what’s going on on the video, but a normal human can’t see anything,” Reed added. “Did you notice those comments?”

Emy looked at Reed and then at Devin. “They’re making fun of the video because they can’t see anything.”

“That’s why humans are so...,” Devin explained.

“So what, Sir Devin?” newcomers Avery and Jasmin asked. Jasmin and Avery sat in the empty chairs next to Reed and Devin. Because Emy was in their midst at the moment.

“Nothing,” Devin laughed.

“Did you notice the one in the video, Jasmin?” Emy asked.

She shook her head. “No, I see nothing in the video; it looks like an ordinary video to me.”

“In the video, there’s a terrifying creature that swallows everyone’s brilliant lights,” Emy said. “The souls of the people, according to Reed, are present.”

“Oh, really,” Jasmin replied. “Can you describe the terrible creature’s appearance? Does it have wings or horns?”

.....

“Excuse me, Jasmin,” Devin began, “but not everything with wings and horns is terrifying.”

“Really?” Jasmin said, surprised.

Jasmin has no notion of what Devin and Reed genuinely look like; all she knows is what her eyes see.

“Do you think it’s natural, Sir Reed, or related to your loss of power?” Avery asked.

“We don’t know what the rules of life and death are, but I know the hellhound, like the angels He has appointed, is a reaper,” Reed said.

“Really? Is there also a reaper animal?” Emy asked Reed.

“Wait for a second, hellhound,” Jasmin asked.

“It is a frantic and ballistic canine beast. They are dreadful, terrifying beasts that instill fear in human species, including ourselves, devils, and angels,” Devin explained.

“Depending on the order, sometimes they are gathering the souls of humans who are about to die, which is why they are also called reapers since the only people who see them are people or creatures that are close to death, and sometimes they are soldiers like the dogs your police train, guard dogs like in our world, and assassins,” Reed explained.

“Assassins? Is it possible that he murdered these individuals, including this billionaire?” Avery asked.

“You can’t just say anything like that, Avery; before we draw any judgments, we need to know more about that person,” Devin said.

“Devin is right,” Reed said, “but let’s dig into that billionaire’s background first.”

“How can we do that?” Emy asked.

Devin smirked. “We can attend his funeral...”

Devin caught everyone’s attention. Reed nodded.

—

Reed’s fingers curled around Emy’s body as she looked for a dress to wear. As he held Emy from behind, Reed kissed her neck and shoulders.

“Is it truly impossible? Just a quickie?” Reed pleaded.

“Does it need to be done, Hubby?”

“Yes,” Reed said, nodding.

“Well, in that case. First, please bear with me. You want to have a child, right?” Emy giggled, “do you know that when I get pregnant, you are banned from my body for 9 months? Also, add three months to ensure that a woman’s body heals after giving birth.”

Reed frowned. “13 months? Are you serious? It’s more than a year!”

“That’s the human-woman process,” Emy chuckled.

“How dreadful!” Reed said.

“Why, and how long, does it take female demons to conceive and recover?”

“It just takes a week... five days to conceive and two days to recover.”

“That’s insane!”

“Geez, Wifey, missing one night of intimacy drives me nuts; what more for 13 months?”

“Yeah, maybe that’s why so many males resort to other women,” Emy speculated. “Even if I don’t want you to, you can have sex with another person; I won’t stop you since you’re a different demon.”

“No way. Why would I have sex with another woman when I have you?”

Emy said nothing but smiled at what Reed said. “And if that happens, I’d better make the most of the time you’re not pregnant.”

Emy was astonished to find herself on the bed, Reed on top of her, both hands over her head.

“Can’t they wait an hour?” Reed asked, smiling.

“Perhaps,” Emy said, biting her bottom lip.

——

“What took them so long?”

Avery and Jasmin were standing in front of their house. They’ve been waiting for over an hour. Emy and Reed do not respond to their phone calls. Devin arrived later, abruptly appearing in front of the two of them.

When they saw Devin, they were surprised. He is simply dressed in black pants and a black shirt, but his good looks are amazing. Especially when he grins as if to attract.

“Are they still missing?” Devin wondered.

“Ah, nothing yet,” Avery said. “They haven’t arrived yet; we’ve been waiting for an hour.”

Devin cocked his brow. ‘What is the cause, and why did it take them so long?’ ‘

“Don’t you have a car?” Jasmin asked. “We may be the first in the area.”

“We can teleport,” Devin smiled. “Open the door first, then lock it as we cross.”

Avery turned to face Jasmin. Jasmin took swift action, taking out her suitcase and opening the door to the residence. When she got inside, Avery and Devin joined her. Devin unlocked the restroom door after Jasmin had locked it.

“Who wants to be the first?” Devin asked. But Jasmin and Avery just stood there staring at him. Devin chuckled. “All well, I’ll go in.”

When Devin entered the restroom, Avery and Jasmin followed. It surprised them as they emerged from the restroom, which was likewise in a memorial garden. Avery’s phone rang, and she answered it right away.

“Where are you, Miss Emy?”

“Oh, in front of your house.”

“We just left with Sir Devin, who I believe used a portal, and we’re currently in the memorial park.”

“All right, we’ll be there.”

After speaking with Avery, Emy turned to Reed and said, “They’re at the memorial park.”

“Who’s with them?”

“Who else? They used a portal?” Emy said.

“In such a case, we use the portal as well,” Reed said.

Emy and Reed both got out of the car. He then took a step closer to Emy. He opens the car door.

“After you, Wifey,” Reed said.

Emy was astonished to find herself at a different location when she entered the car. Emy looked around since there were so many people around her. Many people mourned the billionaire’s death, and the billionaire’s fifteen bodyguards were buried nearby.

“Miss Emy!”

“Miss Emy!” Emy approached her friends right away.

“I’m sorry, something came up, and we were late,” Emy said.

Devin said nothing and simply stared at Emy. Reed approached them.

“Have you found out anything?” Reed asked.

“Well, I’ve asked the girls there,” Devin said. “They stated they all killed in an accident, which was not seen in the film, but the 10-wheeler truck hit them.”

“They reported it in the news that a ten-wheeler vehicle plowed over them all,” Jasmin explained.

“Do you believe it?” Avery asked Reed.

“Why? Do you have a different opinion?” Reed asked Avery.

Avery turned to look at the passing man. He has a bodyguard, and she has found a solution. She instantly approached the man but was stopped by his bodyguards. The man continued walking and the bodyguards would not let Avery leave.

“We know what’s on the video,” Reed explained.

The man came to a halt and turned to face them.

——–

Reed, Emy, Devin, Jasmin, and Avery were in a private room with the man. They stationed bodyguards outside the room. They were allowed inside with the man after groping their group and ensuring that they were not carrying a weapon. He is the billionaire’s eldest son. He is also the one who directed that the footage be made public.

“Because I didn’t understand what was on the video, I wanted to disclose it, and no one could give me the exact answer I required, there have been various comments and guesses that have propagated since I released the film,” the guy explained.

.....

“What feedback did you receive?” Avery asked.

“Different. Hurtful words, insults to our family, and I believe there were four persons there who reported there was a huge animal there but when my staff called them they were frightened to talk; it is said that someone suddenly threatened their life simply for commenting there.”

Avery shifted her gaze to Reed and Devin. “You? What did you see in the video?”

“You? What did you see in the video?”

The man shook his head. “I see nothing.”

“What will you do?” Devin said, releasing black smoke.” Reed asked.

“He wants to see, so I’ll show him,” Devin replied, smiling. “Don’t worry, Reed.”

The man’s eyes were filled with dark smoke. It also turned the man’s head so he didn’t look away from the video. When the man saw what was in the video, his eyes widened.

“That’s what your father caught. He saw that thing and recorded it. However, only those with exceptional vision can watch his video,” Avery explained. “And only the person who was about to die can see that huge thing.”

“What the hell is that thing?” the man asked. Devin’s black smoke has vanished.

“It’s a demonic pitbull,” Reed explained.

Devin explained, “Humans called it hellhound.”

“What?” the man asked, puzzled. “Why do you call people humans?”

Devin didn’t respond, instead, he stands up and stared out the window.

”

“We have extraordinary eyes,” Avery said, “and we can see things that normal eyes can’t.”

“Do you believe your father’s death was truly an accident?”

” Emy asked.

“Of course not,” the guy said, “it was no accident; that’s why I became so captivated with the video that...”

“Reed, it appears that the one who causes this trouble is on the outside. The hellhound is with them,” Devin muttered, as everyone rose and stared out the window.

“What?” Jasmin asked.

“That’s my father’s business partner, Uncle Leo.”

“Oh? Do you believe he holds a grudge against your father?” Devin asked.

“What exactly do you mean, Sir Devin?” Jasmin asked.

“Well, it seems he’s close to the hellhound. Nobody notices his fellow creature,” Devin said. “And I believe your instincts are true; that demon is an assassin.” he looked at Avery.

“I don’t know who you are guys, but I know you are extraordinary people. Please I beg you, help me with this and I will grant all your wishes.” the man said.

Devin smirked. “Wow, you can grant wishes too?”
