A Demon's Journey

Edwin took a seat on a nearby couch and waited for Siluca Walsh. As he got comfortable on the couch, a maid appeared and offered him some cold drinks.

Edwin took a few of them. This was actually his first time drinking a cold drink in this world as a human.

As a demon, he couldn\'t taste anything at all. And even though he had a demon and celestial bloodline in his body, it was still mostly human. So his taste buds remained intact.

And when he went to bars or restaurants, he would mostly drink alcohol. As he drank the cold drinks, he became a little melancholic and let out a sigh.

This world was truly far behind Earth in terms of cooking. He would have preferred something like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or Redbull. In comparison, the cold drinks in this world were just garbage.

He couldn\'t help but think \'Maybe I ought to create a cold-drink company. I can earn from it and it should be easy to expand the business. Most importantly, I can get to drink better cold drinks in the future.\'

Only the people who had tasted the cold drinks on Earth and on Frascoia Continent could relate to his feeling that welled up within him.

After nearly 10-20 minutes, a woman slowly stepped down the stairs.

Edwin glanced in her direction and noticed that this woman appeared quite similar to Anna.

The same purple hair color, just a shade darker in comparison. However, unlike Anna\'s gentle green eyes, this woman had sharp red-colored eyes.

Her body appeared to be a mature version of Anna with a big bust and an impressive ass. Her skin was as fair as her daughter and upon seeing her, it was impossible to say that she was Anna\'s mother.

In fact, if the two stood next to each other, she could at the most be considered Anna\'s elder sister.

However, such a thing was quite natural in Edwin\'s eyes. Because he sensed that this woman\'s cultivation was at 5 Star Rank.

Moreover, he sensed quite a bit of untapped potential within her body. Once it had completely awakened, she was sure to cross the threshold and reach the 6 Star Rank.

There appeared to be certain complications that prevented her from awakening her untapped potential. And it wouldn\'t be easy to resolve them.

Anyway, Edwin wasn\'t interested in assisting her awakening that bit of potential. It wouldn\'t benefit him if she became stronger than himself.

Meanwhile, Siluca was also closely observing Edwin.

She noticed that this man had covered his entire body. And he even seemed to be wearing loose clothes to give a wrong estimate of his body size to his enemy. Siluca could sense the threatening aura from Edwin\'s body.

It instinctively flared up her Noble Aura to counter it. When she noticed that Edwin showed no response and just stared at her in question, she thought \'So he is the real deal?\'

A servant brought a seat and placed it right ahead of Edwin\'s couch. Siluca dismissed the servant before speaking coldly, "Dark Shadow, I have heard quite a bit about you. A 5 Star Alchemist as well as a talented 5 Star Array Master. Your prestige is gradually rising among the noble families."

"So, what brings you here, Dark Shadow?" She asked with a sharp look in her ruby eyes.

Edwin spoke cheekily, "I appear where I feel my services are required. So, the purpose of my visit should be evident to the duchess."

Siluca glared at him after hearing his statement. She spoke coldly, "What an insolent tone. Is this because you have Barret House\'s support?"

"Even if Jenson Barret was here, he wouldn\'t dare to talk to me in such a tone," Siluca warned with an icy voice.

"Barret House? Hahaha…" Edwin began to laugh.

"So it seems you have investigated me deeply. But so what? If you believe that I have come here because of the Barret House\'s support then you couldn\'t be more wrong." Edwin spoke while raising his legs and placing them on the table between him and Siluca as he seemed to be relaxing on his couch.

This action completely astonished Siluca. Not just shock her though, it infuriated her.

This kind of action was utterly disrespectful to her. As a duchess, not even other dukes who were at 6 Star Warriors wouldn\'t ever dare to be so insolent in front of her.

However, she knew that staying angry would just cloud her decisions. This might be Edwin\'s tactic. So, she took deep breaths and tried to calm down.

Actually, this was the truth. Edwin did want to make her angry and take some decisions impulsively.

This tactic had naturally failed. Siluca soon spoke with rage in her voice, "What is the meaning of this?"

"I am breaking one of your delusions where you believe that I am scared of you or your authority," Edwin spoke while his eyes turned purple and he looked into Siluca\'s eyes.

A letter appeared in his hands and he threw it towards Siluca.

Siluca caught it and frowned. She disliked how Edwin was seemingly treating her. He was completely disregarding her authority and her power.

It was as if he was telling her that she couldn\'t harm him even though he was in her mansion and sitting right in front of her.

This was a very humiliating feeling.

However, she was still curious about what made him so impudent and hence she calmed down her anger and began to read the letter.

Edwin internally cursed her self-control. He had already set up an array beneath himself. If she attacked him, the attack would have reflected upon herself, dealing twice the damage to her.

However, during this time, he also couldn\'t launch an attack towards her, or else the array would be dispersed.

He somewhat underestimated this woman\'s willpower.

Meanwhile, Siluca was utterly shocked as she read the entire letter. She slammed the table strongly and stood up in anger.

"How do you know of this?!"

"Sit down. You don\'t need to be so excited." Edwin ordered her.

"What did you say?" Siluca asked, a little shocked that someone was actually ordering her.

"Sit down!" This time, Edwin also revealed his Demon God\'s Dignity and completely crushed that overbearing Siluca\'s Noble Aura.

In front of a Demon God, Siluca\'s Noble Aura was no less than an ant. She sat down, not understand just what this man in front of her was.

"As I said in this letter. If you attack me, the information I have will be leaked to the entire world. I wonder if you can stop that information from spreading? Even if you were the King, you would be helpless." Edwin spoke with a neutral voice. He was laying down the facts ahead of her.

Siluca tried to calm herself quickly and then she asked Edwin, "What do you want to keep this information hidden?"

"What\'s the rush? When did I say I came here to blackmail you?" Edwin said as he soon placed his legs down his tone turned serious.

"In reality, I find your plan quite good. I want to say I want to join it. Aren\'t you searching for n Array Master? I am a 5 Star Array Master. I would say I am pretty qualified to be the Array master you are looking for." Edwin spoke with a smile beneath his mask.

Siluca narrowed her eyes as she thought \'Does he have a beef with those guys as well? Is that why he wants to join me and use me to destroy them?\'
