Tempting Fate-Chapter 164

164 Chapter 164: The Newly Cross Vampire

Reed and Eldron watched as the flames from the dragons’ mouths burned the demons from below. Eldron turned to Reed as he watched the demons being burned. Even the vampires.

“I have no idea why vampires dislike me so much. I have blood from them because my mother is from them, so I don’t know why they are mad at me.

Eldron said, “Because of this...”

Reed looked at his dad. “Because I treated them harshly? “That’s nuts,” Reed said. “I’m not as soft as the kings who came before me. I will teach all the demons to follow me; if they don’t, they will all end up like them.”

Eldron didn’t answer. When Reed looked down, a vampire was staring at him.

“Father, who is that?” Reed inquired of Eldron.

Eldron looked down and saw a man staring at him and his companions. He recognized him as the nephew of his ex-wife.

Eldron said, “That’s Prince Cedric.”

“Oh, that cocky Cedric. So, I didn’t recognize him because my memory isn’t perfect for a demon like him who is proud of himself. Let’s go.” Reed said as he sent the dragon back, and everyone else did.

When Devin saw the portal, which was said to be the door through which demons come in, he couldn’t believe it. He looked at the doorway and heard screams and moans from inside.

He cocked his head. “What’s going on?”

He was surprised when a vampire suddenly came out of the house. They looked at each other but didn’t say anything. The vampire went to the entrance.

“You’re Cedric, aren’t you?” Devin asked.

“I am.” As Cedric turned his back on Devin, he said.

“What do you plan to do here?” Devin asked.

“Why do I have to tell you what my plans are?” Ceric asked.

“I just want to know because if I don’t like it, then...” Devin said. “I’ll stop you.”

Cedric chuckled and looked at Devin. “Really?”

Devin’s eyebrow went up. “Indeed.”

“Then I wish you luck...” Cedric said something else and suddenly vanished from Devin’s view. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

He wasn’t going to do it. If he doesn’t care about Emy’s family, he doesn’t care if he kills someone.

The realm went through a whole day, and Reed rested in his room. When he heard a knock, he got up and sat on the bed. The hand was waved around until it started to puff out black smoke. It flew over to the door and opened it. He stood up right away and said hello to the new person.

“I think I disturbed your sleep, my king.”

Reed smirked. “I’m lying down, but I’m not sleeping,” Reed said. “What’s the update on what I told you to do?”

The oldest mage said, “On the tests I did with the blood you gave me. He’s a human.”

Reed made a face. “Human?”

“Even though I saw blood on you, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.”

Reed nodded. “The rumors aren’t true in that case,” Eldron said.

“Father, when was the last cubus told the truth?” Reed asked.

“There’s nothing to worry about it. We’ll know when the child gets older. At an age when his power and potential should have grown.” the wizard said.

“All right,” Reed said, then he took off his cape and crown.

“Where are you going?” Eldron asked.

Reed said, “Going back to the other world.”

“But will you tell everyone about this?” Eldron asked.

“You decide, father,” Reed said, then quickly left the room.

Emy and Alex were watching TV when Devin came in. He went straight to them and sat down next to Emy. Alex looked back at him.

“Hey Alex, grew so fast,” Devin said.

Emy turned to him and asked, “Did you also notice?”

“Well, that’s normal for a demon, but seeing him act like a normal person is strange,” Devin said.

“Becky said that earlier there were vampires in the yard. Reed’s shield made it so they couldn’t get in.” Emy said. “What do they have to do with this?”

“They found a way through so that Reed might be gone for a few weeks.”

“You mean the portal doesn’t have a shield, and anyone can go through?” Devin said yes when Emy asked. “But Becky also said that everything is exactly where it is for a reason. Could it be they know about my son already?”

“Don’t be afraid. So, I’m here to keep you safe. Also, there are the shaman and Reed’s soldiers.”

“Dad, I’ve got to go see them...”

“It’s not necessary. I made a shield in your father’s yard. It’s not as strong as the one Reed made, but I’m sure they’ll be safe inside.”

“Inside? What if they escape?”

“Then we’d have a problem.”

Emy inhaled deeply. Because of the news, Devin and Emy looked at the TV. Devin made a sad face when he saw the victim hanging from the railings of a condo balcony.

“Oh my gosh...”

Jasmin and Avery came to Emy and Devin when they heard the news.

“Again, the demon kills...” Avery told me.

“He kills?” Jasmin said.

What surprised them was that there was new news while the reporter was out in the field. In a passenger car, another person had the same thing happen to them as the man. The passengers said this was true. A bus passenger was a woman who was talked to. The woman said that suddenly, a man bit another man on the neck, and the man’s head almost fell off.

“Who is that demon?”

Even after talking to the woman, there was more news that a mall murderer had hurt someone and thrown them from the second floor.

“A vampire...”

The girls turned to look at Devin. “Are they the ones who is here earlier?” Avery spoke up.

“Nope. I killed all of them. Maybe he was the vampire I saw through the portal earlier.”

“You saw him, so why haven’t you killed it yet?” Avery told me.

“Why would I want to do that?” Devin asked. “I don’t have a reason why I should kill him.”

“Why not? So now it’s your fault that many people die every minute.”

“Excuse me, shaman, but it’s not my job to protect and defend the human world. What would be the point? Show me why I should do that.”

“Something?” Avery spoke up. “You live in our world, and you’re happy here. People you take advantage of because of your lust are innocent in ways you don’t understand. The reason to take care of this world is to help the people who live here.”

“That’s not a good reason for me to keep humans safe. If it’s Emy or one of Emy’s family members and you belong there, I will surely kill the creature. I won’t just kill him once. I’ll do it repeatedly. I’ll say that again and again until it stops making me mad. I have nothing to do with him becoming a victim like he is now.”

“You are truly a demon...”

“Shaman, I am a demon prince.”
