Exclusive Chapter

 In the hidden village, the Main Road,

Riding in the back of a car, Reiji looks out of the window.  He sighs. “Tell me again… why are we riding in the back of my car?” he asked.

“Because... you are the king of the Demon Kingdom, and the other kingdoms have begun to take actions against you. By creating the false heroes.” Celica said, playing with Laycee and Aycee.

“Even so, it’s impossible to kill me, nor is it easy to get near me,” Reiji said, annoyed.

“Stop pouting, big baby. And think about the people around you. Those so-called heroes might attack or capture any one of us just to get to you. I mean, you do remember the last time when Mia was seriously injured by an attack from the humans.”

“Right, I went on a rampage and almost wiped out the royal bloodline of the three kingdoms.”

“Almost wiped out. You mentally tortured and killed the king of kingdoms. Speaking of, what are you planning to do with the Queens? They’re just sitting in the prisons waiting for judgment.” Celica asked, looking at Reiji with an intense glare.

“Truthfully, I was going to leave their judgment to you since you’re one of them... technically. I’m sure some of them were friends.” Reiji said.

“No, not really? They were the first queen’s friends and confidants. They didn’t take to me as simpl…

“They didn’t like your sadistic side, did they?” Reiji interrupted.

Celica felt a hit to her pride and shame. “I really wish you would forget about that. It wasn’t my fault I was like that. He was making me act like that.”

“Celica, you do realize that I know your hidden thoughts, right. Especially when Tor is in control. You’re more sadistic than you looked. But what really surprised me is tha…

“Reiji! Could you not say that kind of things in front of Laycee and Aycee?” Celica said, covering the babies’ ears.

“Oh, come on. It’s not like they can understand me. But you’re right. I’m sorry. Anyways, what’s going on with business? Everything going smoothly?”

“Yes, everything is just fine. The Merchant Group has expanded into a massive caravan that travels the world. Melia, herself, said that the profits we’re making are in the millions a day. Especially since we started, multiple branches on the continents to the west. As for the other dimensions. Dimensions Zeta and Delta are currently being explored by Mia and the Dragon Shinobi Agents. And the mining in Dimension Delta is going well, too. Oh, and Dimension Alpha, despite being desolate, still has resources we could use. I’ve already sent the Golems there to establish a Headquarters. And from our readings, that Dimension’s deterioration has slowed since the first time we sent a probe there.  I think yours and the others’ presence helped slow the deterioration.” Celica explained.

“And Dimension Gamma?”

“The leaders of that world are trying to find a way to send their planes here through their own portals. Luckily, they don’t have the technology to make portals.  But I fear that they will try to strong-arm the Lucrada Inc. branch there for their portal technology.”

“Knowing them, they’ll probably just sell it to them to make a profit while portraying stupid. We need to hurry and find the other demons I saw in my dream.”

“About that… Sage and I think we found four dimensions like that. But we can’t bring anyone with us due to the atmosphere.”

“Us? I was thinking you could run my recon from her. Especially with my brothers still here being a threat.” Reiji said.

“What? Absolutely not!” Celica yelled.
