Chapter 55
Marcus had no idea where Seraphine had taken him. One moment, he'd been standing inside a damaged carriage, and the next, he was surrounded by darkness. He couldn't even see his own hands properly, and before he could figure out where the hell they were, Seraphine started shouting at him. “You sometimes behave as if you don't care about anyone, and that's stupid!” she snapped. “You're so arrogant and full of yourself! I know you don't care about people, Lucien, but I was in that fucking carriage! How could you go ahead and negotiate with the man who attacked us?” Marcus opened his mouth, then closed it again. He would have liked to defend himself, but he couldn't even see her face. And right now, getting out of this strange room seemed far more important than arguing. “Can we get out of here first?” he asked. Seraphine scoffed. “Of course. Run away from the conversation too.” Damn it! Marcus wasn't particularly fond of dark places. Back on Earth, darkness had never bothered
Chapter 54
Back at the damaged carriage, Edwin remained frozen for several seconds. Then he slowly lowered his hands. The demon was gone. Lucien was gone. And so was the heart. Edwin stared at the empty space in front of him. Then he laughed. “HAHAHAHA!” Oh, shit. He'd been tricked! The legendary Lucien Veyr had kept him talking while his demon prepared an escape spell. And Edwin had walked straight into it. Fucking hell! He should have known better. Lucien and that cunning demon had obviously been working together from the beginning. Edwin shook his head, still laughing at his own stupidity. He'd spent so much time worrying about what Lucien might do that he'd completely overlooked the demon lying right in front of him. He had even approached her willingly and started casting a spell that required his full attention. What an idiot. If anyone at his clinic heard about this, he'd never hear the end of it. Fortunately, there was nobody around to witness his embarrassment. But the am
Chapter 53
He turned and began walking back toward the carriage, with Marcus following behind him. Edwin was careful not to make any sudden movements. He still didn't know what Lucien was planning. One wrong move could provoke an attack, and he had no intention of discovering whether the stories about Lucien's power were true. For now, he needed to appear useful. Once Lucien trusted him, he could find a way to take the box and disappear. Marcus, on the other hand, was trying to keep his excitement under control. Three thousand mana slots were still running through his mind. Even if he eventually received only a small part of that amount, it would be far more than he currently possessed. But he had more important things to worry about. Seraphine was injured, and he still didn't know whether Edwin would genuinely help her. Please don't make me regret this, he thought in his mind. Meanwhile, Seraphine had been struggling to prepare a spell inside the damaged carriage. Her injury was painful,
Chapter 52
Three fucking thousand mana? Marcus stopped running so suddenly that he nearly lost his balance. He couldn't bring himself to take another step. In his head, he'd been imagining something around five hundred mana slots at most, and even that number had been enough to blow his mind. But three thousand?! Did this mean he'd been carrying around three thousand potential mana slots while struggling to survive with just two? He'd even sacrificed a permanent attribute point because he'd run out of mana! Oh, that is fucking nasty! He looked down at the box in his hands. This thing had been with him all this time, and he'd been thinking about returning it without even knowing what it was worth. What kind of idiot was he? If Edwin was telling the truth, the heart could solve one of his biggest problems in this world. Of course, there was still the small issue of figuring out how to use it without dying. But compared to the possibility of having three thousand mana slots, that sounded like
Chapter 51
Marcus had barely said a word to Seraphine throughout their journey. She hadn't been particularly talkative either, which was unusual. Normally, she'd have spent half the trip flirting with him, teasing him, or finding some ridiculous excuse to start a conversation. Perhaps she was still feeling weak from her injuries. Whatever the reason, Marcus appreciated the silence. He had enough problems to think about. Ten demon women. A whole fucking TEN! The more he thought about what Clara had told him, the more uncomfortable he became. How was he supposed to find ten demon women willing to enter contracts with Lord Vaelthar? And why had the original Lucien agreed to something so ridiculous in the first place? Oh, shit. Marcus rubbed his forehead and looked out through the carriage window. For now, he needed to focus on returning the demon's heart to Selene, Garrick, and Dren. Once he'd settled that matter, he could concentrate on everything else. One promise at a time. First, return

Edwin turned. “Yes, dear?” “The pain…” Her voice trembled. “It's getting worse.” Edwin approached her bed with a concerned expression. “Yes, I imagine it must be quite painful.” The woman's husband suddenly cried out, clutching his abdomen. “ARGHH! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY STOMACH?!” Edwin examined him with the same calm expression he'd worn throughout their treatment. “Your intestines are being torn apart from the inside. That must hurt terribly.” The man stared at him in horror. “What…?” One of the other investigators immediately realized what was happening. He struggled out of bed, trying to gather enough strength to summon his magic. “WHO SENT YOU?!” he shouted. But his legs gave way before he could take a second step. He collapsed onto the floor, screaming as another wave of pain passed through him. Edwin sighed sympathetically. “Nobody sent me, dear. I simply need that demon's heart. I'm terribly sorry you have to suffer like this.” “You fucking traitor!” another ma
