Tempting Fate

117 Chapter 117: The Special Human

“You only need to know the video’s content. We’re not here to solve your problem,” Reed said.

The three women looked at Reed. “Sir Reed...”

“The hellhound is a formidable opponent. “And we agreed that I will only help humans when it is my responsibility, but this is human error, not mine,” Reed said.

“I can help you,” Devin said.

“You’re insane, Devin, but do what you want. Emy and I are leaving,” Reed said.

“Avery, Jasmin, come on,” Emy urged.

“I will fight,” Avery said.

“Avery,” Jasmin said.

“I have a bad feeling about that man. He’s keeping something from us,” Avery speculated.

.....

“Avery, you’re going to commit suicide,” Reed said.

“I’d want to help,” Avery said.

“You’ve all made your decision,” Reed said. He took Emy’s hand and began walking toward the entrance.

“Please don’t let them out,” the man pleaded. ” My father is not a bad person, so please do justice to him.”

“You have no idea what you’re asking for, human,” Reed said.

Reed lifted his hand, and time stopped. Reed dragged Emy out of the room, leaving Devin, Avery, and Jasmin behind.

“Reed, are you sure we’ll leave them there?” Emy asked.

“They’ve made their decision,” Reed said.

“But they’re my friends, Reed. They might get hurt,” Emy worried.

Reed came to a stop and turned to face Emy. “I’m not a superhero who will save humankind, Wifey. It’s their decision, so leave them be...”

Emy released Reed’s grip on her hand. ” Then my choice is to help them...”

Emy returned immediately, but everything moved again; Reed’s power had vanished. It shocked her when she saw the man she met, who she believed to be Leo, standing next to the hellhound.

“Emy, keep your gaze away from the hellhound. Walk carefully towards me,” Reed urged.

But Emy didn’t listen because she couldn’t take her eyes off the blue light that appeared to be on fire. Reed teleported to Emy after the dog leaped in front of her. When Emy vanished, the dog turned around. Leo’s bodyguards turned around to see what had happened. Suddenly, the girl they were supposed to meet vanished.

“It’s fascinating. Why don’t you look for the girl? ” Leo said to the dog, who swiftly left his side.

Meanwhile, Emy and Reed were in the parking lot. “Are you okay?” ” Reed asked Emy.

Emy began to cry and held Reed. “I’m afraid! I am sorry! ”

Reed heard a snarl from a distance. He yanked Emy’s grasp from his body. Reed exhaled deeply. Devin then appeared next to Reed. Avery and Jasmin came after.

“Better yet, simply save that boy.” Devin said, “He’s the target. Reed and I will handle this.”

Avery instantly drew Emy away. “They could get hurt...” Reed worried.

Devin cast a look at Reed. “Why don’t you summon your three men for help?”

Reed’s teeth snarled, releasing black smoke and contacting two of his men.

——-

The man was startled to see Emy, Jasmin, and Avery return. He ran into her.

“You come back...” his gaze was drawn to the two men who were with them. “Where have they? ”

“They’re fighting the hellhound,” Emy explained.

“I’ve been seeking for you for a while, and I’ve found you, finally.”

“Uncle Leo.” Everyone turned their gaze at the newcomers. “I’m sorry, I’m speaking with my new buddies,” Niko explained.

Leo moved his gaze to the girls close to Niko. He looked at Emy, remembering the girl who had vanished with a guy who could teleport. He didn’t say anything else and returned his gaze to Niko.

“I’ve already spoken with your mother...”

“What about?”

Leo grinned. “Where else to discuss business, of course.”

“Uncle, my father, recently passed away; can’t we be alone for a few days? Let us first mourn.”

Leo chuckled. “You know, Niko, you can mourn better if you don’t have anything else to worry about.”

Niko didn’t say anything. Leo shifted his gaze to his female friends.

“We’re better off in here,” Leo replied, motioning to his team.

Niko turned to face Emy, who just nodded. They discreetly followed Leo’s guys into a room.

“How do you think that person was able to control this demon?” Devin asked.

The dog was on fire in front of Reed and Devin. It stared at them while their black smoke surrounded them both. They know a demonic pitbull is a tough opponent. If only Reed’s power was at a strong level, there would be no problem, but since he is already weak, he and Devin will surely have a hard time fighting that creature.

“He can see and command this hellhound. It means the two of them to have a connection.”

“I don’t have time to find out the connection between the two of them. Let’s finish this because I don’t want Emy to be harmed in a fight that she had nothing to do with.” Reed said.

And since no one could see the hellhound and the same for Reed and Devin, they started to fight. Reed’s black smoke swirled in the air and split it in two. Immediately the demon rushed and attacked them. It’s fast, and ordinary demons can’t see. That’s why Devin and Reed use their powers. The demon’s eye that only elites are capable of. Fortunately, the power of their black smoke was good and strong, which became their shield against every powerful demon attack. Together, Reed and Devin were thrown into the distance and fell into a trash can. And since no one could see them, the people there were surprised by the sudden fall of the garbage can.

“What happened?”

Everyone looked around, but they didn’t see anything that could possibly be the cause of the trash cans falling over.

Devin flew to attack the demon from behind and Reed in front of it. Reed made a big puff of black smoke that Devin followed. The two black clouds of smoke joined forces and created a powerful power.

The people were in trouble again because of the strange increase in the wind. The trash that came from the fallen trash started flying. The demon turned around and looked at their powers surrounding him. Meanwhile, Niko was forced to sign a paper and even pointed a gun at his brother and mother. Emy, Jasmin, and Avery stood not far away with guns pointed at their heads.

“Sign that we won’t have any more problems,” said Leo.

Niko read what was written on the paper. He couldn’t believe that he was so greedy. It wants to get all the businesses, and the only thing left for them is the mansion and the cars, and even the land they live on.

“Uncle, all the businesses you take are owned by our family. You only want the company but the other business you have nothing to do with it.”

“Why? Do you think your mother will be able to run all that business? Maybe she will die tomorrow. And who will run it? You? You don’t know anything about business, kid, so just follow what I tell you to do to get everything done. You don’t have a problem anymore.”

“If you take our business, what will become of our livelihood?”

“Ah, is that it? Well, don’t apply to the company.” Leo said, smiling.

“What?”

“When you apply, I’ll make sure there’s always a job opening for you. Don’t expect a high position because you haven’t proven anything yet. You haven’t even finished college if you can graduate.”

Niko’s fists clenched. “You are the reason why Papa died.”

“Well, yes, I am,” Leo said. “So don’t imitate your father’s stubbornness if you don’t want to be like him. Sign in before I run out of patience.”

Niko tearfully looked at his mother and brother with their mouths taped. The whole body is bound. She also glanced at the three girls, Emy shook her head, but she had to do it.

But before he could even put pen to paper, two people appeared out of nowhere. All the armed men lost consciousness. All that was left was the man standing in front of them and the two men standing behind Niko.

There was shock on Leo’s face when he saw two strange creatures in front of him. It released black smoke that knocked his men unconscious.

“Anton, Marina...” Emy said.

“Are you all right, our queen?” asked Marina.

“Yes, we’re fine. Thank you for coming.” Emy said.

“You two, face them,” Leo said.

The two men quickly followed and confronted Anton and Marina. Leo approached Niko and tried to get him to sign it, but Avery, Jasmin, and Emy approached them. Avery immediately took out his katana from behind. He learned from his grandmother’s diary that he could hide his katana with a spell and also bring it out when he needed to use it.

Avery stabbed Leo in the chest, causing him to fall then he pulled out his katana. But they noticed the healing of his wound. Avery immediately turned to Emy.

“They need help, Sir. Find some salt and lock the demon there. If you manage to lock it, Sir Reed can use the demon knife.” Avery said.

“Alright, I’ll take care of it,” Emy said. But when Emy ran towards the door, Leo grabbed one of Emy’s legs to stop her. Emy’s body fell to the floor. Avery stabbed Leo again. Jasmin took a katana and cut Leo’s hand, which surprised the man. Emy immediately removed Leo’s hand from her leg and quickly ran out.
