YM778.TV Chapter 97. Prince of Ledred
99 Chapter 97. Prince of Ledred
"You woke up already?" I thought she would sleep longer than this since she looked so tired earlier.
She woke up and sat on the sofa. Instead of tiredness, I could see her face looked fresher and glowing with energy, I also saw it from her eyes.
"Yes." Her eyes moved in confusion.
"This is crazy ..." she muttered.
"I feel like-- my body is filled with energy. I even feel like-- I can do whatever I want right now."
I smiled since I could already guess it because of my Demonic Erection lv 3 effects.
Noticing my smile, she turned her head towards me.
"Do you know why?"
"You just have a nice work out with me. Of course, it will make you more energized," I said in a teasing tone.
She frowned in disbelief.
"Why I\'ve never heard of such a thing before?"
I brought my face closer to her and gave her a mischievous smirk.
"Because it only applies to me." Even though I was telling the truth, I said it in a joking tone.
"Aw ... You naughty student," she said in a spoiled tone.
"Aren\'t you also naughty, hm? Miss Chairwoman," I teased.
She put her hands around my neck and pouted.
"Don\'t say that. I won\'t disappoint you like before." She knew what I mean was because she tried to break our agreement.
"I know."
After these words left my mouth, she pulled me closer. While my hands hugged her waist as our lips met. Then a long passionate kiss followed.
"I will get your clothes," she said as we broke our kiss.
She took my clothes and gave them to me.
"Thank you."
A minute later, we already put our clothes on. Diamond sat next to me, her hands wrapped around my neck and her head resting on my shoulders intimately. She tilted her head to face me.
"Shall we have lunch together? I know a good restaurant around here."
"Okay." I accepted her offer without a second thought. It was almost 1:00 PM now, so it was a perfect time to have lunch especially after what we did.
After hearing my answer, she released her hands from me and moved away. She tidied her dress, then pressed the button beside the partition and the wall that separated us from the driver\'s seat opened automatically.
"Take us to Crown Island Restaurant," she said.
"Yes, miss," replied the chauffeur without taking his eyes off the front.
Then Diamond pressed the button again and the partition went back up.
"It\'s okay. I\'m a VIP customer there. They allowed me to come without a reservation," she replied lightly.
"Oh, okay." Of course, she was a Kraken\'s descendant. She certainly could get access easily.
Once the partition closed, Diamond shifted her body closer to me, her hands hugged my neck. One of her tentacles took the TV remote and turned it on.
"What would you like to drink?" her tentacle opened the cooler in front of us.
My eyes skimmed the wine bottles and juice cans in the cooler.
"I\'ll have orange juice." Instead of another glass of wine, I chose a lighter drink.
She took two cans of orange juice and gave one to me.
"Thank you." I opened my orange juice and drank it.
"- is known as the prince of Ledred. This man has attracted many women\'s attention since his first appearance in that red-light district."
Hearing \'Prince of Ledred\' words, I lowered my can and turned my attention to the TV. My thoughts went back to the male strippers who danced at the Sea Devil Club in medieval prince costume.
\'Well, they are handsome and have nice bodies. Of course, one of them deserve to be called the prince of Ledred. \'
Footage of some women fighting over a man near Ledred\'s gate was played on the TV. His face wasn\'t clear since the footage was taken from a distance but I knew it was Damian.
"This man, who just made his debut as a prostitute, attracted all women\'s attention and became popular in less than a week. Some rumours say that he has an intimate relationship with several high-class women."
I cringed.
\'What the hell ?! Me? Prince of Ledred? \' Well, Damian\'s face was indeed really handsome and as a prostitute, a handsome face and a good body were the main assets. But calling a demon like me a prince was completely wrong.
"Our fifth news came from Silennel district, Nighthallow City. A demon attack has occurred on Maple street and claimed one life." My expression turned serious since Silennel district was the district where Larry\'s house was. He used to live near my house in Ironshade Town, but his family moved there a few years ago.
"The victim was identified as a 20 years old prostitute named James Frozenlight. According to an eyewitness, he was on his way home from his work at the Sea Devil Club."
\'Sea Devil Club? Is he one of those strippers?\' I sighed since even he worked in my club but I couldn\'t save him. This was what made me decide to hunt demons and help Lilieth. Because I knew a lot of people didn\'t have a second chance like me.
A police chief interviewed by some reporters showed up on the screen.
"The victim was found by a demon hunter around 11:00 PM. He was still alive by then, but due to heavy bleeding he could not be saved."
"What about the demons?" asked a reporter.
"Based on the information, the demons had been killed by the demon hunter. The demon hunter association also has inspected the scene to prevent another attack."
"Why do I feel this demon attack happen more frequently these days," said Diamond with a sigh.
My thoughts went back to when I met Foxy and the Hounds at the College. I could not imagine what would have happened if I had come home by then.
"Apart from the evacuation alarms, does our college have any other security for facing something like this?" If a crack appeared again like yesterday then the students and lecturers were in danger.
Diamond sighed and shook her head.
"No one has good security against the demon other than important government offices and hospitals. I have submitted a protection proposal to the Demon Hunter Association, but they rejected it."
Of course, I understood, with more frequent cracks and demonic appearances, the Demon Hunter Association would have a hard time dealing with these demon attacks. Plus the demons\' level was much higher than usual.
Besides that, getting a protection privilege from the demon hunter association was not easy, because this was not something that money could buy.
\'Can\'t I do something about this?\' I wished I could get some information on where the demon attack took place. If I could get it, I could use my portal skills to help them. Especially in a large scale case that possibly involved a crack, since I was not sure other than me, Lilieth and the other Demon Generals, there were other people who had the power to close the crack.
"-than, Ethan," Diamond called out to me.
"Yes?" I turned to her and could see her worries.
"Is something wrong? You look confused."
I gave her a reassuring smile.
"Nothing. I\'m just a little worried about the demon\'s attacks."
She rubbed my cheek slowly.
"You shouldn\'t think too much about it."
I exhaled and nodded my head. But my mind still tried to find a way to get some information on the demon\'s attack.
"Looks like we\'re almost there," she pointed to the window across us.
I turned to the window. We were already on the bridge that was connected to the island where our destination was. The blue sea with the clear sky made my mind more relaxed, but only briefly, the stinking stench pierced my nose along with an announcement in a red box in front of me.
[!!! Warning !!! ]
[Other Demons detected!]
"Stop the car," I said out of blue.
"Huh?" Diamond frowned in confusion.
Without further ado, I pressed the button to open the partition.
"Please, stop the car," I said to the chauffeur.
"But we--"
Before the chauffeur finished his sentence I interrupted him.
"This is an emergency!"
"Just do what he said," said Diamond, though she looked confused. I couldn\'t say there was a demon attack ahead because I didn\'t have a Demon Compass like a demon hunter.
Even though the chauffeur still looked confused, he slowed down our car and started to pull over. But before our car reached the side of the bridge, a loud explosion was heard.
- Boom!
The ground shook violently like an earthquake. Reflexively, I hugged Diamond to protect her.
"Kyaaaa!" she screamed as she hugged me tightly.
My eyes were on the window, observing the situation around us, especially making sure the explosion didn\'t destroy this bridge.
