Chapter 185 - He's The Devil Lord!

Aiden elevated his laughter when Kitty didn't immediately answer Cathy's question. The girl looked like she was restless and anxious toward Cathy.

"What do you want from me? You've given me poison. Now let her go!" demanded Kitty, fearless to make Cathy stunned to see her unusual side.

"I can't do it. Like I said before, you just happen to be involved. What I want is..." while looking at Cathy, "Her..."

Kitty and Cathy looked at each other in confusion. The two girls were both confused and felt that their friend's identity differed from what they believed. Kitty wondered if Cathy was not the ordinary girl she has known. Same as her, Cathy also found it strange with a contradictory attitude from Kitty.

Who is the red queen? Is that why this devil value Kitty as dozen people in her house?

"Let's get back to the main point, shall we?" Aiden said, alerting the two twenty-six-year-old girls. "Catherine, I want you to meet someone. Depending on whether I'm going to get the answer I want, maybe I'll give your friend an antidote."

"Don't believe him," warned Kitty while holding her friend's arm.

Cathy agreed with her, but she was willing to try if she could get the antidote for her dear friend.

"It's okay." Cathy patted Kitty's hand to coax her to let her go. "How can I trust you?"

"Aren't you all cute? Even though you come from two completely different families, your situation is very similar."

The two of them didn't understand the meaning of Aiden's sentence. How can they be similar?

Cathy was the daughter and an heiress of influential background. But because of her mother's situation, she had to be hidden from her enemies. On the contrary, Kitty was just a child from an ordinary family entirely unrelated to any wealthy person.

Or is it possible... Does Kitty also have a hidden identity just like her?

"It's up to you whether you believe me or not, but you have no other choice. In two hours, she," pointing at Kitty, "will feel sleepy and sleep. After that, she won't wake up again like... forever." continued Aiden with a sly smile.

Cathy had never felt the anger she felt right now before. Even when dealing with Kitty's bullies in her school days, Cathy always ended it with a clear mind and brought peace with anyone hostile to her as Kitty's defender. She would find a way out so that Kitty was not bullied again without creating new enemies or trouble.

But now, Cathy didn't want to make peace with this person at all. She couldn't forgive this person, either. The 'devil' in front of her doesn't even deserve to be pardoned.

Meanwhile, Kitty felt dumbfounded by her best friend's sharp, fearless gaze. She had never seen the terrifying aura emanating from her best friend's eyes. Was the girl next to her the Cathy she had always known?

"It's useless looking at me like that." came Aiden's relaxed voice. "So, are you coming or not?"

"All right, I'll see him."

"Cathy," warned Kitty, trying to hold her back.

"I'm sorry. Because of me, you got hurt like this. I promise I won't let him hurt you more than this. Wait for me here."

"I'm not scared at all. I'm more worried about you."

"I will be fine," replied Cathy with a reassuring smile.

In the end, Cathy left the room without knowing a few minutes later, something unexpected happened to Kitty. Cathy should have believed nothing of Aiden's words from the start. Every sentence that Aiden said was not true, and the promises made were only empty words.

Unfortunately, Cathy didn't know. She was too focused on the antidote to her best friend and the safety of her three younger siblings. This was Cathy's only weakness. Cathy was always making reckless decisions when too focused on the people they care about. And Aiden took advantage of this.

To say she had planted a bomb was entirely not true. Why did Aiden set up a bomb that risked his men getting caught? He was aware that Red Rosemary's guard and escort had gotten stricter ever since Benjamin found out Catherine's true identity.

On the other hand, the syringe inserted into Kitty's blood was indeed a deadly poison. The victim's body would feel dizzy and drowsy an hour after the poison has reacted, instead of two hours like what Aiden said before. Then, her internal organs would slowly weaken, and in less than twenty-four hours, her heart would stop beating.

Aiden did not care at all about the lives of these two girls with hidden identities. But he did not want to be visited by assassins who seek revenge for the death of the red queen.

That's why he used Cathy's hand to kill Kitty. This way, if anyone desired revenge for the red-haired girl's death, Catherine would be their main target.

But, who would have thought that Kitty herself injected the poison in? Well, Aiden would give no damn care about it. The important thing is he will immediately get what he wants.

Aiden walked over with a happy whistle and uncared of a girl was staring at him with a murderous gaze behind him.

He smirked at the thought he could finally stand on the top amongst the best. Once he had the activation key in his hand, even his own father could not stop him.

After a few minutes of walking down the stairs in a closed room and past several cells, they arrived at an iron door with a large steel padlock.

Cathy wondered who was locked up inside that it needed a key and two guards at the door.

One of the guards opened the lock and pushed the door inside. That's when Cathy saw a gray older man was sitting there limply.

Cathy looked at the older man with pity and was disgusted by Aiden. This person really was a heartless devil. How could he lock up an older man with chains on his hands and feet? He was even being confined indoors without any windows or ventilation holes. This older man would die sufferably.

Aiden told Cathy to go inside, following his steps. Cathy swallowed hard, wondering what Aiden's purpose was to bring her here.

Cathy's heart trembled with fear, and she felt helpless as soon as the door behind her closed again. She thought that this time... she would not survive. Neither Vincent nor Kinsey would be able to help her.

Even so, she had to be strong. She was the only hope for Kitty. She needed to save her. Even though she can't get out of this place alive, Cathy wants to make sure Kitty can survive this place.

"See who I brought here?"

Aiden's cold voice that was intimidating broke Cathy's reverie. She turned her gaze towards the older man, who was now opening his eyes weakly.

One second changed to ten seconds before the older man's two eyes widened.

"You!!" the old man hissed as he clenched his two chained hands.

"That's right. I managed to get your second miss out."

Cathy was still fixated on the skinny older man with curious eyes. This man looked weak, but a second later, his gaze emitted a charismatic aura.

Who is this older man?

Cathy was utterly unaware that Aiden had moved behind her. Suddenly, Cathy gasped to feel her body hugged roughly and a cold object stuck to her neck. A second later, she felt a sting in her neck and realized ... a dagger had scratched her throat.

"It is time for you to tell me who has the key. Or you would rather see me slit your second miss's neck in front of your eyes. Your choice."

A single tear dripped from the corner of Cathy's eyes, disbelieving the horrifying words of the devil. This person had just used her loved ones to threaten her. Now that guy is using her to threaten that helpless old man?!

This person was no ordinary devil. But he was the true demon lord!

Zero I gritted his teeth angrily upon hearing that. At first, when he saw a girl that Aiden had brought to meet him, he thought he had died and met the first lady in Heaven. But... this girl's eye color was completely different from what he was familiar with.

Apart from different eye colors, the face shape, hair color, and height were the same as when Chloe was in her twenties. Only then did he remember, Chloeny's daughter was very similar to Chloe and had light brown eyes like this girl. Instantly Zero recognized who this young girl was and felt a wave of immense anger.

All this time, he had been proud of the abilities of his team and the Alpha. Even though their strength was limited since the Stealth was deactivated, the two teams' abilities were still unquestionable. That's why he remained silent and did not reveal the key's whereabouts. Because he was sure... the second miss would be safe and protected.

Unfortunately... what he hoped for did not happen.

What the hell Alpha and his successor had done? How could they let this evil, wicked man kidnap the second miss?
