Tempting Fate Chapter 149

149 Chapter 149: The King’s Revenge

They took Emy to the hospital. And since Devin wasn’t there and Reed didn’t want to ask his cousin for help again. Emy’s condition was fine after the doctor checked her.

Jasmin was restless. She blamed herself for causing Emy’s loss, but Reed didn’t use that to make him angry with the girl. He talked to Emy’s father when he called him to say hello to his daughter. He mentioned he was at school because of the event at Elijah’s school.

“Calm down, Jasmin. I told you it was your fault...” Reed said.

Reed just shook his head when Jasmin still didn’t listen to him. He turned to the door when it suddenly opened. It spat out the doctor and nurse.

“Mr. Greyson...” said the doctor.

Reed stood up and approached the doctor. “How are my wife and baby?”

“The baby is fine. Luckily, the mother and the baby survived.” said the doctor. “Your wife is poisoned. What was the last thing she ate?”

Reed, Jasmin, and Avery looked at each other. “Ah, she just drank milk this morning, Doc,” Reed said.

“Her test results are okay. You can leave when she wakes up.” said the doctor.

.....

“Okay, doc,” Reed said.

After the nurse checked Emy’s BP, she left after the doctor. Reed took a deep breath and sat down on the side of Emy’s bed again.

“Miss Emy is okay. You heard what the doctor said. Don’t blame yourself.” Avery said.

Jasmin didn’t answer. Avery turned to Reed and approached him while she left Jasmin on the sofa.

“Sir Reed, do you know who wants to kill Miss Emy and your son?” Avery asked.

“I’m having Becky look for it, and when Emy gets out of here, I’ll look for that demon,” Reed said. His palm clenched. If his queen and daughter died, he would ensure everyone would suffer.

“What kind of demon can shift as a human?” Avery asked. “My Katana felt the strange dark power.”

“Did you see or feel him earlier?”

Avery shook her head. “Sorry, but I only felt the black power when Jasmin entered the house carrying the paper bag she said was given by Miss Emy’s father.”

“Becky said the same thing. She didn’t feel the black power right away.” Reed thought. “I think putting protection around the house made it even worse.”

“Protection?”

“I put my protection on the entire house so that no demon can use any power or enter my yard using power.” Reed took a deep breath. “Maybe that’s why the demon used tatay’s appearance, and because Jasmin doesn’t have any powers, it easily tricked him. He could get his powers inside my home. It’s insulting.”

“Fortunately, Emy and the baby are safe and sound. The person who did this to them is really heartless. And the strange thing is, how did he know that Miss Emy wanted blood?”

“That’s what I’m thinking too. Maybe the demon has been watching all along and knows Emy’s situation. He also knows that Emy is human, so...”

“Sir Devin can’t but....” Avery said. “He helped you, and especially Miss Emy. He can’t do this bad thing to Miss Emy, especially since he likes her.”

“That’s what I know, but I don’t know who wants to hurt my queen...”

Jasmin turned around when the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Devin came in. He hurriedly approached Emy, who was still fast asleep.

“Emy...” Devin held Emy’s hand.

Avery and Reed stared at him. Devin even kissed Emy’s hand, which raised Reed’s eyebrows.

Devin turned to the two. “What happened?”

Reed stared at Devin but said nothing. “Someone wants to hurt Miss Emy,” Avery said.

Devin frowned. “Did I hear right?” he turned to Reed. “How did it happen? Didn’t you put up protection? Even I can’t just use the power inside your yard and house. So how.....”

“There is a demon who has shifted as Miss Emy’s father,” Avery said. “He used Jasmin to get the poison inside the house that was unaffected by Sir Reed’s protection.”

“What?” Devin asked with a frown.

“He knew that Miss Emy wanted blood. Earlier, Miss Emy asked for blood. That’s why Sir Reed left to look for it. Then Miss Emy’s father came. He just rang the doorbell from the gate but didn’t come in. Jasmin said he was in a hurry, so don’t come in anymore.”

Devin turned to Jasmin. “She’s fragile,” Devin whispered.

“She’s not weak. Jasmin is human.” Avery said. “Normal people.”

Devin smirked. “That’s why she’s weak because he’s human.”

Avery gave Devin an evil look. Devin glanced at Reed.

“Have you seen the demon? Recognize who?” Devin asked.

Reed put his hands in his pockets, then looked directly at Devin.

“I asked Becky to find it,” Reed said.

“What?” Devin asked in disbelief. “Why did you entrust the investigation to a soldier? Haven’t you learned from what the soldier you trusted did who betrayed you?”

Of course, Reed knew who Devin was talking about. “I can’t leave Emy in this situation. Also, I don’t need to hurry because I’ll see the demon who committed the blasphemy against my queen no matter where he hides.” Reed said.

“I will look for him, and when I find whoever that demon is, I will make sure that he dies,” said Devin, who suddenly disappeared in front of them.

“I’m right. Sir Devin had nothing to do with it.” Avery said.

Reed didn’t speak. He just took a deep breath and looked at Emy.

——-

Devin quickly moved from building to building. He went to all the strange demon auras around him. His sudden attack surprised the other demons. He kills all the monsters he passes until he sees Eve and Dynhir on the road leading into the bar.

He wouldn’t have gone near the two, but he could smell the strange-smelling aura inside the bar. He clenched his jaw and entered the bar.

When Devin entered inside, his vision immediately turned. He used his demon eye to see who the demons were there. Eve and Dynhir saw him immediately. He noticed the two would approach him, so he hurried away. The cousin’s gaze followed him with a frown.

He hurriedly approached the cluster of people on the dance floor. He quickly dispersed the crowd with the black smoke, spreading it around. Everyone lost consciousness. They fell to the floor where they were standing. He left the demons standing. Devin also blocked the exit of the demons. He is more powerful than any other demon. He’s elite, he has extraordinary powers like Reed’s, but Reed is more potent because he is their king.

“Prince Devin, what does this mean?”

“Devin....” Eve said.

“You...” Devin stared at a man with a large build. “You are a blasphemer to hurt the queen.”

“What?”

A murmur started inside the bar. Even though the sound was loud, the whispers of the demons who couldn’t believe what they heard were louder.

“How are you sure it’s me? Do you have proof, Prince Devin?”

“Even if I don’t kill you now, do you think the king will overlook your blasphemy?”

The demon fell silent but spoke again. “Do all the demons know the queen is pregnant and still a human?”

Devin smirked. The demon frowned. “All the elite know about that matter with the queen.”

“What?”

They can hear the whispering again around. “Of course, you don’t know that and the other demons here,” Devin said.

“But doesn’t our law prohibit..”

“The queen will become a demon too. Just wait.” then he glanced again at the talking demon. “But the attempt on the life of the queen and her child should not be forgiven.”

It surprised everyone when Devin approached the demon. Its power was overflowing, and the black smoke was like a tornado surrounding the two of them. Everyone can see thin strands of electricity along with black smoke. The demon’s feet lifted off the floor as Devin choked him. The demon had a firm grip on Devin’s arm and hand. In the end, it managed to escape Devin’s clutches. It ended pretty rapidly. Devin just looked at him. Devin again released black smoke from his hand, and he formed a ball of smoke, and it continued to spin.

“I’m going to finish you...” Devin said.

But not everyone expected Reed’s sudden arrival. It was stunning, and you could see the fear on the faces of the lowered demons who were there. Reed was walking towards Devin’s demon opponent on the other side. Eve and Dynhir stared. Reed’s presence at that moment was different. They pushed even the cousins back into their position.

“Do you see his power, Dynhir?” Eve whispered. “You know why I don’t want to fight him.”

It surprised everyone as they floated in the air in slow motion, and in an instant, powerful energy sent everyone except Devin flying. Even the unconscious people who are there will notice that they are thrown. Everyone didn’t expect that power, so they were surprised and couldn’t protect themselves. Everyone looked at the demon who attempted the queen’s life. Its body is stuck to the wall, and the bodies are broken.
