Tempting Fate Chapter 170 - 170 Chapter 170: The Portal is Closing

170 Chapter 170: The Portal is Closing

“Leandro...”

“I am,” he said. “I heard that you killed my brother.”

Reed just looked at him, so Leandro smiled. Leandro put both hands into his pocket. He even looked at the vampires trying to hurt Reed, but when he touched them, they turned to ashes.

Reed is stronger than before, and Reed can feel it. Reed did not understand Leandro’s strange power. He thought it wasn’t the leader he was looking for because it wasn’t as strong as he expected. But he also thought that maybe Leandro was just hiding its power.

“I’m losing my patience with you,” Reed said.

The man made a smirk. “Am I right in thinking that you think I’m the one who started this mess?”

“Who else could do it?”

Leandro chuckle. “What an honor that you thought I was the leader of the demons who wanted to overthrow you.” Leandro quickly asked Reed not to fight him. “But the leader doesn’t seem to realize what he thinks is wrong.”

“Mistaken thought?”

.....

“Yeah. He knows you’re not strong anymore after the war. You lost your wings, so you hid in the other world.”

“Do I look weak to you?” Reed said as flames shot out of his hand and surrounded him with black smoke. “Tell me who your weak leader is. Who wants to knock me off my throne but is too scared to face me.”

“Hmm, are you afraid to face me?” Leandro said, laughing. “Well, I don’t think so...”

Reed scowled. “I heard you have a wife and a child in the other world. Fascinating, you have...” Leandro scowled. “What a disgusting family.”

Reed cocked his eyebrows. “Don’t get me wrong, but beings with red blood, a heart that beats 60 to 100 times per minute, and no power are pitiful creatures that live at a very low level.” Leandro laughed.

“You haven’t entered the portal yet. What do you know about them?”

Leandro didn’t answer. “Stop fighting. It’s better.”

“Do you think I have to give up?” Reed asks. “And do you think I’ll do that?”𝗳re𝚎𝚠𝐞𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝗲l. c૦𝓶

“You ought to be,” Leandro said. Reed came up to him again, and from behind Reed, he whispered in his ear. “The queen and your son might both die.”

Reed quickly moved his hand to hit Leandro, but Leandro quickly moved away, as expected.

“Don’t mess with my family if you don’t want me to beat you like I did to your brother.”

“Hmmm, I told you I don’t care about my brother, who looks like a vegetable with no vitamins. The truth is that I like what you did. You did me a favor if you didn’t know.”

“I do not care about you,” Reed said. “Show me where the demon you want to be king is.”

Leandro grinned. “What if he is in the other realm with your family.”

Reed’s eyes widened. “What?”

——-

“No, you need me here,” Devin said.

“Reed needs you,” Emy said.

Devin reacted to that. He moved toward Emy. “Where is Alex?”

Emy turned toward Devin. “He’s in her room with Jasmin.”

Devin took a deep breath, then looked at the door when he felt Alex outside. When Emy and Devin opened the door, they were surprised to see Jasmin and Alex standing there. They did not expect to see Alex grow up faster.

“Hi, uncle Devin,” said Alex.

“H-hi, Alex...” Devin said.

Alex dashed toward Emy because he didn’t know how she would react when she saw her son.

“A-Alex?” Emy was surprised. “Damn,” he said, glancing at Jasmin and Devin. “Maybe tomorrow, son, we will be the same age...”

Jasmin laughed a little, but Devin was serious. He went right up to Jasmin and slightly pulled her away.

The girl looked at Devin with surprise.

“What’s it, sir Devin?”

“Contact Avery. I need to speak to the soldiers.”

“O-okay.” Jasmin then took her phone out of her pocket, but she said before she could dial Avery’s number.

“They are not together anymore.”

Jasmin and Devin looked at Alex. “Anton and Becky were left guarding the portal.”

Devin scowled. “Why?”

“Someone in the realm wants us dead,” said Alex. “He tried to close the portal, and Auntie Avery caught it, but not for long.”

“Someone closed the portal?” Devin asked.

“Son, what does it mean? Is this the same as when it’s happened before?” Emy turned to Devin. “Do you think Reed won’t be able to cross?”

“Yes, mom. Auntie Avery’s katana holds the portal to keep it open, but once it’s broken, the portal will close completely, and Papa will never be able to come back.”

“No, Devin Reed needs you. He needs to get back here.” E my said.

“Uncle, I’m sure you know who did this.”

They all stared at Devin.

——

Different powers sent out different types of lights that lit up the palace. The magic from the mages’ wands was what made the light around. The noises came from the soldiers and Eldron’s swords hitting each other. And the black ashes all over are from the vampires that Reed killed when they attacked him without fear. Screams could be heard all over.

Eldron and the others couldn’t believe they had defeated him and all the other demons. All that was left was the vampire that Reed was holding Leandro with. He was kneeling while Reed held his hair and neck. They had taken the palace and didn’t see any enemies around.

“After what happened, you still won’t talk? You are the only one left. You’re not going to save yourself, are you?” Eldron asked.

“Do you think everything is over?” Leandro laughed. “Do you think they are the only ones who believe in him?”

Everybody looked at each other. They looked at the dead people around them and the mages trapped in a spell.

“Every demon has come with us. They think that he has the power to rule the realm. A wimp like you who fell for a low-level disgusting human.”

“You don’t know anything,” Reed said. “If you don’t say anything, it’s best to disappear.”

Reed’s hand caught fire, and an electric voltage came out of it. This voltage slowly went into Leandro’s body. Reed grabbed Leandro’s mouth, held it up and down, and forced me to open it.

“Something is happening at the portal,” the mage said.

Reed stopped and turned to face the mage. “What’s happening in the portal? Devin is there.

“He is not there,” Leandro said.

Everyone looked at Leandro. “What do you mean,” Eldron asked.

Leandro just smiled. “War begins...”
