Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 763: Banned

Cynthia's words just echoed throughout the whole area and the silence went on for a few more seconds.

Everyone else who was not in the know was confused as fuck since the only people who were on the other side of the spectrum were me, Kaley, Ruru, Riri, Cynthia, and Mr. Cuervo. With that said, Kaley and I were just mere shoulders to cry on while the victims were Cynthia and the twins, technically speaking.

Mr. Cuervo was the sole "culprit" of the rift that formed between the three but I doubt that he intentionally tried to cause it.

But in my eyes, Cynthia still had to apologize to the two— and probably to Mr. Cuervo as well because she flew off the handle and struck them instead of talking it out like we used to if we had some problems.

However, it felt like Kaley knew something else about Cynthia—from their talk—that the twins and I didn't know about, but as of this moment, talking like we were in some sort of therapy session would have to wait till later.

Mr. Cuervo had just got up from his ass but he looked more pissed than confused. He didn't even bother to fix his suit, comb his hair, or check his face if it left a mark. Roxanne and Melina tried to approach him but he waved them off before getting up on Cynthia's face.

[Do you even understand what you're doing right now?!]

[YOU DON'T FUCKING GET IT! THAT'S MY—]

[Cynthia! I'm not hearing any of it now! You're making a mistake and—]

[AM I NOT EVEN WELCOME HERE ANYMORE?!]

[Cynthia. You're here, right? I'm telling you—]

[YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!]

[You're acting like a brat— Wait a sec—]

Right at this moment, Mr. Cuervo pulled out his earpiece and turned it off, completely muting their conversation. The only ones that could hear them were probably Roxanne and Melina plus the handful of the contestants that were left.

With that said, we just saw them argue in front of everybody but Mr. Cuervo handed his earpiece to Roxanne and made her continue the remainder of the show.

The game continued on as it should but there was a slight awkwardness that Roxanne and Melina powered through. While that was happening, Mr. Cuervo led Cynthia down the stage and they walked someplace private because Cynthia wasn't budging even a millimeter.

Even if she was technically living at my place and calling it home, Cuervo Heights could also be considered the same thing. Besides, she spent almost all of her life inside this place until we came along, so she had more memories of this place even though her "normal" life here couldn't be considered to be one.

To be fair, I thought acting like the best prostitute in this place couldn't be considered to be a fond memory but there were probably more that she treasured here—like spending time with her actual family—and Mr. Cuervo underestimated that.

As time went on, the Russian Roulette game was concluded but Cynthia and Mr. Cuervo still weren't back.

Well, Roxanne just announced the bodies to be cleaned up so there were probably 20-30 minutes before the next game starts. I would start worrying if they weren't back in that time frame—because we had a schedule to follow—but Kaley looked like she wasn't worried a single bit.

With that said, she momentarily glanced at Ruru and Riri before a smile slowly formed on her face. In turn, the other two smiled at her awkwardly but Kaley just shook her head as she linked her arm with mine.

"You're having an awful lot of fun, huh?" Kaley chuckled before she leaned closer.

"They could hear you—"

"Yeah, and I can smell their scent from you. I could barely tell them apart…"

Riri interjected, "H-How did—"

"How did I know? I just know. Don't worry, I don't mind."

I interjected, "Just tell them that you're psychic—"

"Wha— How many times do I have— I'm not psychic! I just get the feeling—"

Ruru chuckled from the side, "Psychic. Definitely psychic."

"Hey! I just chose the wrong words, alright?! It's just… you know… you two looked a little prettier because there's this glow on your skin. Also, you two were looking at him differently and sticking to him a lot more compared to just watching the games. Be honest, it was totally different from what you thought it was gonna be, right?"

As soon as Kaley said that, the twins just blushed at the same time, turning completely silent though they nodded ever so slightly. In turn, Kaley couldn't hide the amusement on her face and she huddled over the two, whispering something I couldn't hear before she rested her head on my shoulder.

The twins just said at the same time, "Kaley. You're pretty cool, you know that?"

"I thought I was psychic?"

Riri chuckled, "How about a cool psychic?"

Ruru shook her head, "Ugh, that joke's so lame… I can't believe you thought of that…"

"That was kinda funny though."

"Right?!"

At this point, the girls were just conversing with each other though I could feel daggers piercing my back because I was surrounded by several beauties. Granted there were a lot more available for purchase but the way I 'acquired' the ones surrounding me wasn't as easy as coughing out a stack of vouchers.

But to everyone's surprise, I turned to Quinn who was right behind me and a large step above the area Kaley and I were sitting on.

"Hey, can you spread your legs?"

"HAH?! THE FUCK—"

"I'm— that came out wrong. I need to take another nap."

"THEN WHY WOULD YOU—"

"I need to rest my back on an even surface. Your calves are cool and all but I don't want to have back problems."

"YOU—"

"Please?"

"..."

Quinn didn't know whether to laugh or cry but she reluctantly gave me a bit of space as she spread her legs a little bit, and I just scooted a bit backward before I beckoned Kaley to sit in front of me.

"W-Why?"

"Please?"

"S-Sure…"

'I can't believe that worked twice in a row…'

With that said, I began to close my eyes after I wrapped my arms around her. It was still quite noisy but knowing that Kaley was right in front of me helped out a lot.

From the time we got here, I had sex with different women, fought off Quinn's bald army, participated in various games, ran away from a couple trying to have their way with me, etc. which all required a ton of energy and stamina. Granted I still had plenty in store, I wanted to make the best use of my time.

At one point, I even felt Kaley leaning on to me but I just hugged her even tighter as we both tried to sleep. To my surprise, she fell asleep earlier than I did but I followed soon after. However, the time we took to rest felt like an instant because as soon as I lost consciousness, the feeling of someone trying to wake me up resurfaced in my head.

"Hey, the next game's about to start! Wake up!"

Kaley's voice rang in my head and the moment I opened my eyes, Cynthia was already sitting with us. Her eyes were a little red but just judging from the vibes she was letting out, she seemed to have made up with the twins and Mr. Cuervo. She was even hiding this smile but ultimately failing, telling me that something completely went her way and then some.

With that said, I scooted forward after thanking Quinn who was looking at me like I owed her a ton, but I didn't put it to mind as I glanced at the play area.

"Wait, how long was I asleep?"

Kaley answered, "Close to an hour?"

"R-Really? Damn… What's Mr. Cuervo planning now?"

"Can't you tell? I believe you participated last time."

"Wait. Right, I see now."

It took me a short bit to understand but the next game was the one I became famous for.

However, since Mr. Cuervo was the one hosting it, there would definitely be some hidden twists to trip up the participants. I was already scanning around to see if some would be quickly spotted but all I saw was that there were more shipping containers stacked on key spots instead of just being by the entrance.

If someone pulled an "All of them" card, it'd be more than a thousand. Furthermore, it wasn't gonna be just plain old deadheads anymore because we already faced mutated ones from the earlier games. If someone got cursed and drew a dozen Ferals or a fucking Hulker, I'd already be preparing some bread and coffee for his funeral.

With that said, I'd be lying if I wasn't excited but the moment I secured my katana on my belt, Mr. Cuervo had to ruin it.

[Right. Kid, you're fucking banned from this game.]
