Chapter 131: 114 Strong and Powerful (4300) (Seeking Subscription)_1
Clang! The iron door opened.
The woman hesitated slightly as she stared into the dark basent but soon, she followed Casio in.
Click! Click!
Two lamps on both sides of the basent lit up. The dim yellow light quickly drove out the darkness.
The woman glanced around. It was a well-furnished basent with a seemingly spacious layout. There were cabinets, desks, sofas, and other furniture tucked away in the corners, and beside the furniture were a few white vases filled with fresh flowers. The walls were painted a light blue shade and adorned with two landscape paintings encased in golden wooden fras—one depicting woods and the other a sunset over a river.
So far, so normal; in fact, tastefully done. The woman wondered what Casio wanted to show her in the basent, perhaps so special intel on the Shadow Demon?
Feeling confused, she asked Casio.
“Mr. Li Wei, what brings us to the basent?”
“I’ve got sothing interesting to show you.” Casio’s face was expressionless as he added a caveat, “Miss Theresa, you might want to brace yourself. Try not to get too excited.”
“Sothing interesting? A big treasure, perhaps?”
Theresa was puzzled but suspecting Casio was not out to harm her. He was a combat expert, after all, who could have taken her by force if he’d intended to. Why the mysterious trip to the basent, which seed rather unnecessary?
“Right here. Co on over.”
Casio pointed toward a pale-yellow curtain on the side of the basent. It was part of the interior design the where an iron bar held up the curtain, dividing the vast basent space—one side for leisure and the other for working out.
As they walked across, Theresa thought she could detect a faint sll of blood in the air. As she drew nearer, the scent of blood grew stronger.
At this mont, curiosity piqued in her heart.
What lurked behind the curtain?
“Co over.”
With a swoosh, Casio pulled away the curtain and walked through.
Theresa took a deep breath and followed suit.
Barely had she stepped in when she felt the intimidating stare of a pair of wicked eyes on her. It sent a chilling feeling of dread crawling up her heart, like encountering a pair of blood-red eyes hanging in the dark woods at night, emanating a feral instinct to kill.
An uncontrollable instinctive fear swept over her, as an electrifying current surged from the soles of her feet, passing up her spine and encompassing her brain.
Theresa froze on the spot. It felt as if her neck, now stiff as unlubricated gears, was inching slowly toward the source of the fear.
A pair of pale-red pupils magnified before her.
Theresa stood frozen in shock as everything around her blurred into insignificance. Her sight and mind were only filled with the pair of pupils.
Standing off to the side, Casio frowned slightly at Theresa. She seed to have gone into a state of shock similar to when animals encounter predators—the mind goes blank, muscles lock up, unable to move.
Fear, as a natural instinct to predators, was too intense.
No wonder ordinary humans were nothing more than moving food in the eyes of the Shadow Demon. Theresa, as a mber of the Shadowless Organization, had certainly been trained and knew her way around firearms. Surely her willpower and physical strength were stronger than most people.
Even so, she displayed signs of shock as she ca under the direct gaze of the Shadow Demon. She stayed frozen, helpless as a fish out on a cutting board, ready for the slaughter.
Ordinary people would perhaps fare far worse.
Wetting their pants at the first sight might even be a distinct possibility.
With that in mind, humans, even ard, posed no threat to the Shadow Demons. Only individuals like Casio, who pushed past human limitations to surpass the realm of martial artists into an inhuman realm, could suppress such intense fear. This was a fundantal elevation of lifeform.
Looking at the incapacitated Theresa, Casio, out of helplessness, walked a few steps towards the Shadow Demon and stomped at it roughly.
“Thwack!”
The crisp sound echoed throughout the basent.
Theresa, as if jerked back to reality, was in a daze. Break out in a cold sweat, drenching her black undergarnts. She gasped for air, her words stumbling over one another.
“It’s… it’s… a Shadow Demon! A Red Eye Level?!”
“Oh my god!” Theresa shrieked.
Even though it was just for a few seconds, it felt as if she had walked through hell. Now that she had regained her senses, her heart threatened to leap out. It was terrifying!
“Miss Theresa, keep it down. We’re quite a distance from my neighbors, but who knows if a passerby might cross this path. I’d rather not have the police knocking on my door for an inspection based on a misunderstanding,” Casio said as he yanked at the hair of the Shadow Demon, giving it a rough pull.
“Behave!” He couldn’t resist and gave it another kick.
“Wait a minute! Sothing seems off!”
Finally regaining her senses, Theresa darted her eyes questioningly at Casio and then back at the demon on the floor.
It was definitely the robust body of a man, the red eyes couldn’t be faked, and the terrifying aura was unmistakably that of a Red Eye Level Shadow Demon. But… the demon appeared rather distressed and helpless now, like a shirtless man begging for rcy.
