"Why bother doing all those good things for humans?" Reign shook his head, disappointed. "It seems like a waste of ti."
"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 ans 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 beco 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 ti. Flawed or not, everything that moves is food in my eyes," Reign declared with a nonchalant tone.
"Just give the info on where that place is located so I can get my payback on those three. And if that Elizabeth tries to stop , 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 ant 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 ti.
He had pretended to be okay, but inside, he was consud 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 won 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 chanism.
Reign pondered for a mont. 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 so sense into her.
The only problem he could see arising from that would be if she enjoyed the pain and asked for more.
And considering her personality, there was a 99.99% chance of that happening.
"Oh, by the way, do you still keep in touch with Cyril?" Reign asked, recalling her suddenly. It was out of the blue, resurfacing now that he had t George.
He didn't dislike her personality; in fact, she was the only woman he found tolerable. Her beauty was rely an added bonus, sothing he didn't really care much about.
If he had to describe it, it wasn't exactly liking her. He just found her comfortable to talk to.
'So he imdiately thought of her…' George felt sad for his daughter.
He could sense from Reign's tone that he preferred Cyril over Anna, and the difficult part was that George couldn't bla anyone.
Over the months he had co to know her, he had to admit that Cyril was perfect wife material
In fact, if he hadn't known that Reign held her in high regard, George might have been tempted to flirt with her himself.
She possessed all the qualities of a high quality woman, and she would be wasted to soone like Reign, who only seed to think about consuming humans and becoming more powerful .
A man-eating monster should stick with his daughter, especially because Anna would be the only one to accept him even if he destroyed the entire world.
How about Cyril ? She was a human, and she would hate him if she discovered the truth.
But just to be safe, George decided to test the waters.
"Hey, did you grow one after becoming a demon lord?" he leaned in and whispered .
"Grow what ?" Reign asked, confused.
"You know, the one n use to have fun and procreate?" George replied, his eyes glancing at Reign's bottom.
"Fuck off, I don't need it," Reign pushed him away.
'He doesn't need it? Maybe I'm mistaken. Maybe he really doesn't care about the opposite sex,' George wondered.
He wanted to further test his theory, but before he could do so, the door slamd open, revealing lissa.
"lissa, I have good news, Reign is …."
"Cyril has been kidnapped!" she interrupted abruptly.
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 mont," 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 ss with a woman who had a demon lord for an admirer.
"What happened exactly?" George asked, his brow furrowing in concern.
By now, lissa had already realized Reign was back, but there was no ti for a reunion hug, not after hearing what happened to Cyril, who she now considered as her girl best-friend.
"I ca 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 about for ergencies, 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.
lissa paused for a mont. She already knew the answer after talking to one of the store employees, but she feared Reign would blow everything out of proportion.
"TELL ..." Reign spat out, this ti lissa 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 lissa 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 soone.
But actions spoke louder than words.
"Pantheon?" Reign repeated through gritted teeth, unfamiliar with the term.
