"Why bother doing all those good things for humans?" Reign shook his head, disappointed. "It seems like a waste of time."
"Maybe she can do it because she's not human?" Richard suggested.
"If that's true, then the secret to being kind to humans is to not be one," George added sarcastically. "Guess that means we are more flawed than demons."
"I do think that we are flawed, ," Richard responded. "I've seen how greedy humans can be, and that's really the core of our organization. We want to surpass our limits and become non-humans," he added with conviction.
"What do you think, Master?" Richard asked.
'These two...,' Reign sighed, hearing them talking as if they were ordinary. One was a demon fucker, and the other was worse than a demon in many ways.
"I think talking about this topic is a waste of time. Flawed or not, everything that moves is food in my eyes," Reign declared with a nonchalant tone.
"Just give me the info on where that place is located so I can get my payback on those three. And if that Elizabeth tries to stop me, then humans would have their first demon saint after I rip her head off." He added
Both George and Richard visibly swallowed hard, their expressions tensing as they registered the seriousness in his words. They could tell he meant all words he said.
And they were right. He didn't care whether he was killing a good demon or not.
He would be a failure of a monster if he had to take into consideration every good deed of the people he killed.
In that case, he might as well stop what he was doing and spend his life hiding.
"Reign, about Anna..." George spoke up, his voice laden with the concern he had been hiding all this time.
He had pretended to be okay, but inside, he was consumed with worry for his daughter well-being. Now that Reign was here, he finally saw a chance to save her.
During these few months, George slept with dozens of women to forget. He also gambled heavily and was forced to borrow money from Cyril. That's how hard depression hit him.
Of course, he would never tell anyone this. He was certain it would get him killed on the spot if Reign discovered his coping mechanism.
Reign pondered for a moment. He had almost forgotten about Anna, and while he didn't like her, it was because he had been weaker than her before and hated being treated like a toy..
Now that he was stronger, he found all her actions just a bit annoying.
"Don't worry, I'll save her," Reign replied confidently .
If she pushed him too far, he could just slap some sense into her.
CRACK!!!
The entire couch where Reign sat exploded to nothingness after dark red sparks of electricity burst out from his body.
The intense energy burned away his human face-skin and tore apart his clothes, revealing his true form in a dramatic display of power.
"Sorry. I must have lost control for a moment," Reign apologized, his voice dangerously low.
Everyone froze, feeling the heavy atmosphere weigh down on them, as if the air had turned to lead.
'Yeah, he definitely likes her,' George sighed in defeat.
There was no other reason a psychotic monster like Reign would react this way if that weren't the case.
'I'm sensing a huge commotion coming,' George added.
Anyone foolish enough to kidnap Cyril would soon learn a hard lesson. Never mess with a woman who had a demon lord for an admirer.
"What happened exactly?" George asked, his brow furrowing in concern.
By now, Melissa had already realized Reign was back, but there was no time for a reunion hug, not after hearing what happened to Cyril, who she now considered as her girl best-friend.
"I came to their store to check on her, but the windows were broken and there were signs of a fight. When I reviewed the hidden CCTV she told me about for emergencies, I saw 10 people ganging up on her and then taking her away." She hurriedly explained.
"Who kidnapped her?" Reign asked, his voice still cold, but at least the crackling electricity around his body had stopped.
Melissa paused for a moment. She already knew the answer after talking to one of the store employees, but she feared Reign would blow everything out of proportion.
"TELL ME..." Reign spat out, this time Melissa was forced to kneel on the ground, his dominating presence pressing her against the cold floor.
"Pantheon... it's the CEO of Pantheon Corporation," she replied, gasping for air.
But the physical pain was secondary; she was more hurt emotionally .
Almost not answering nearly cost her dearly, highlighting that she was far less favored compared to Cyril.
Even Melissa could see that Reign had a favorite human. He was just too inexperienced to accept his feelings or maybe too broken to understand the idea of actually liking someone.
But actions spoke louder than words.
"Pantheon?" Reign repeated through gritted teeth, unfamiliar with the term.
