59 Chapter 59: Demon Targeted Eve

It has been a few days since the incident Devin was stabbed. His wound healed after regaining strength and being able to heal himself. It surprised Emy when Devin suddenly came out of the bathroom wearing no top, so she immediately averted her eyes. Devin secretly smiled and then approached Emy.

“I told you don’t have to look at my wound anymore because it’s gone,” said Devin.

“I just want to make sure your wound is okay,” said Emy.

“Then why were you looking away? If you want to check on my wound on my body, you will look at it right,” said Devin.

Emy looked at Devin’s side body and the wound still caused the scar, but it was no longer fresh.

“I told you, didn’t I? There’s no scar.” Devin said to her.

Emy didn’t speak, but her finger caressed Devin’s scar, which was already wrinkled. Soon, Emy had moved her hand away from Devin’s scar.

“You’re right, there’s nothing left...” Emy said as she was about to leave when Devin held her hand.

“Are you sure you saw nothing?” Devin asked.

.....

Emy smiled slightly. “Nothing. Okay, I’m leaving.” Devin released Emy’s wrist and immediately left her room.

Devin frowned. “That strange”

Emy blew air as she walked back to the house. It even surprised him to see Eve at the gate of their house. He immediately hurried to approach it.

“Eve, good morning.” He said he could get close to Eve. “Come inside.”

Emy and Eve walked into the yard together. Sometimes Emy feels embarrassed when she and Eve walk together.

“So, did you visit Devin today?” Eve asked.

“Yeah, I just looked at Devin’s wound and it’s gone,” said Emy.

“Well, you shouldn’t be surprised. We demons can heal ourselves,” said Eve. “It’s good Reed let you.”

“Ah, yes, I told him I need to check Devin’s wound.”

“That’s a surprise. Reed is a big jealous demon, do you know that? ”

Emy just laughed at what Eve said. “Eve!”

Eve and Emy stopped walking when Devin suddenly appeared in their midst. “Reed will be angry because we will run out of food in his house again,” said Eve.

Emy and Devin just laughed. Soon, they noticed Reed standing in the house’s doorway and looking at them.

“Speaking of the demon, I see the king of demons.” Eve immediately approached Reed. “Hi, Reed!”

“You just need to be adopted, do you know that?” Reed asked.

“I want to be adopted by you, you just don’t want to,” Eve said, then finally went inside the house. Emy did the same.

Reed was about to enter the house when Devin spoke. “Can we talk?”

Reed turned to her. “After we eat.” Then Devin quickly turned away.

When Reed entered the house, Devin followed. He walked over, looking at Reed until they reached the dining room. Reed immediately sat down next to Emy, and Eve also sat down with Emy’s family. Maria was busy serving their food. Devin sat down next to Eve.

Everyone just eats quietly.

Because Reed and Emy had no work for the weekend, Emy invited the four of them to go out. Reed agreed, and their first destination was the largest mall in the country. They just teleported for speed.

“Wow!” Emy could not hide the pleasure. That was the first time he had ever been to that place.

There are rides they can ride for simple fun. Eve hugged Emy on her arm and the two walked together while the two men were in the back. They first rode in the so-called Anchors Away, where many lined up. Emy was sitting between Reed and Devin. The rides have not yet moved. The three demons have already commented.

“I wonder why so many people line up here?” Eve asked Devin.

“I don’t know. It’s like riding a dragon. Nothing to be excited with.” Devin said.

“Yeah, that’s true. They look boring.” Reed said.

Emy frowned. Soon, the rides moved. Emy shouted like the other riders there, but the three demons were just silent and had no reaction looking at the people. After about ten minutes, the three walked quickly as if nothing had happened while Emy enjoyed herself.

“You seem to enjoy it,” Devin said to Emy.

Emy smiled. “Yeah. Why? Didn’t you enjoy it?”

“Don’t ask,” Reed said, then held out his hand. “Let’s just eat so I can be happy.”

“What? Didn’t you enjoy it? ”

They entered a famous barbecue grill restaurant and immediately found a good place. Some customers there immediately recognized Eve as a model, so they became the priority of the restaurant.

On the table, they have a grilling pan that they used to grill meat. Devin, on the other hand, was busy grilling their food and sometimes Reed helped him. They were looked at by two women. Both women laugh at them.

“Don’t you like each other?” Emy spoke up.

Reed told Devin, “I’m the king, so you should follow me.”

“We are in a different world, and you are not king here.”

Reed said, “I’m still king as long as you’re a demon.”

“Did you tell me how to do that?” Devin asked.

“Should we talk about the rules while we cook tasty meat?”

“Yes.”

“Devin stop acting like a child...”

“No, I’m not. It’s you who acts like a child.”

Eve said, “Stop it.”

Reed and Devin both said, “Because this demon...” at the same time.

“Emy, come with me to the bathroom...” said Eve.

“Okay,” said Emy.

The two women stood up and quickly left the two men. Devin continues to grill.

“What do you want to talk about?” Reed asked.

“I asked Damon to investigate the realm to find out who attacked me and he didn’t find a record or anything possibly identifiable.”

“And?”

“Aren’t you listening?” Devin asked. “Another demon came out of the portal and he was strong. Will you just let that demon roam around here? What if the queen is his victim? ”

Reed would have answered when he heard the scream from not far away, and he knew it. “Emy!”

——-

Emy and Eve laugh happily as they walk into the washroom. They laugh at Reed and Devin. Eve says the two will fight because they left. Emy finds out that Devin and Reed can’t get along even though they bleed. Apart from being both arrogant, Devin wants the crown, so the two are always arguing.

“A prince is useless in our realm. Yes, Devin’s a prince, but he doesn’t have the power to rule the realm. The generals, mages, and dragons have even more power over us. ”

“So being called prince and princess is just a name?” Emy asked.

“Yes, it is. We’re normal, like any other demons. Reed, he alone, is omnipotent. Even the former king no longer has the power to rule. ”

Emy thought about it. When they entered the washroom, Eve immediately went straight inside the cubicle, while she left Emy just outside the cubicle.

‘So it’s important to Reed that he has power when others find out he has no power and he’s just like ordinary demons. There will be chaos in their realm.’ Emy thought.

A woman in a facemask entered the women’s room. Emy thought it would direct it to another, but it approached her and immediately grabbed Emy by the neck, then threw her and she hit the wall. The attacker kicked the cubicle door, but it was damaged because of Eve’s powerful kick. There was black smoke coming out of his hand, and he quickly used that to prevent the attacker from hurting him.

Emy took the mop from a distance and used it to strike the attacker, and she did. Eve noticed Emy was not the target of the attacker but her, so she quickly went out of the washroom to chase. The attacker grabbed Emy by the neck as Emy blocked her own body at the door so that the attacker could not chase Eve. The attacker walked while holding Emy by the neck and Emy’s hands were already up in the air. Someone saw them and shouted to get people’s attention. Gradually, as his throat lost air, his tongue almost popped out over the attacker’s choke. The attacker quickly threw Emy, and she hit the tables in the other restaurant, which was also full of people.

Reed and Devin saw what the attacker did, but they didn’t immediately help Emy. The attacker quickly ran away. Devin and Reed approached Emy.

“Eve? Where is Eve?” Devin asked.

“T-the attacker will follow her...” Emy fainted after saying that word.

Devin was about to leave, but Reed stopped him. “Take Emy home. I’ll take care of that one.”

Devin would have asked, but he just nodded. After Reed kissed Emy’s forehead, he quickly left. Devin let out black smoke from his palm and let it fly into the air. He picked up Emy, and they vanished. Meanwhile, black smoke spread and erased people’s memories of what had happened.
