Luck is a Charm

The rest of the people on this floor are confused by the motive of the mastermind behind the labyrinth, Zen was busy sensing the true qi he left on Angela and Evie.

Although the signal is shaky and hard to detect, Zen was relieved when he managed to feel a little bit of his true qi on their body, indicating they are still safe and sound.

'Phew, luckily nothing happened to them and since they haven't appeared here, I can only guess there are many others teleporting to somewhere else.'

Zen heaved a soft sigh as he watched Krista Dragoon who was playing with Leila Dragoon and Romu. 

"When are you going to continue ignoring me?" Zen asked softly, hoping that her tantrum would end already.

It has been like this ever since she found out he was busy trying to figure out Angela's safety. Zen couldn't understand her problem when it was clear as day that he had an ambiguous relationship with Angela and her mother is currently being healed by Cecilia slowly in the mysterious space too.

"Sigh, are you really being jealous because of these trivial things?" Zen sighed once again before vanishing from his original position, appearing next to Krista Dragoon, and kissed her on the lips.

Of course, Zen had asked Cecilia to cast an illusion barrier before kissing her since he wasn't going to let others see this scene or think about informing the empress once they got out of the labyrinth.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon opened her eyes wide in shock at the sudden kiss but soon, she closed her eyes and allowed his python tongue to slither around the inside of her mouth.

Zen was busy sucking the saliva from Krista Dragoon while twirling her tongue as well, causing Krista Dragoon to have a hard time breathing but still, Zen only allowed her to breathe until it was her limit.

"Ahnnm," Krista Dragoon moaned slightly as she pushed Zen off lightly to take a breather from the intense kiss. 

While she was taking some air to breathe, Zen whispered softly in her ears, "I treat all my women equally with respect so you don't have to be jealous at all because I will definitely give you lots of love when we're out of here."

Aftward, Zen leaned forward to place his head around Krista Dragoon's shoulder while his hand wrapped around her body.

Krista Dragoon was too embarrassed to reply so she stayed silent until a burst of sudden laughter echoed the entire floor.

"HAHAHAHHAHA, It is I, bat-demon once again!"

The bat-demon from the original projection screen suddenly reappeared in the center of the room, causing everyone to be alert and having a rigid face on this demon where they wished to grind his skin.

"What are you doing here?"

"Let us out already. I had enough of this damn labyrinth."

"Let's just capture him and force his mouth to open up so we can find a way to escape this place."

Once the person finished suggesting about capturing the bat-demon alive, everyone seemed to brighten up as they stared at him maliciously.

Meanwhile, the bat-demon who was Stuart that obeyed Evie's order previously was giggling from the ridiculous nonsense from these humans.

"Hehehe, you humans who are nothing in my eyes dared to talk about kidnapping me and even forcing my mouth open. Very funny." Stuart sneered as he started changing into his human form, causing everyone to have their eyes wide open.

"I-Impossible, y-you are the patriarch of the Scarlet family."

"No, that's impossible, he cannot be the patriarch. It must be a mimicking ability where he copied the patriarch form because I can't sense the aura from the original."

When Stuart transformed, the people who recognized the face were shocked before regaining their composure that it wasn't the patriarch of the Scarlet family. 

After all, they knew him for a long time and this was the first time that the Scarlet family ever cahoots with demons to trap them in this place.

"Heh, at least you humans aren't really stupid enough to believe I was the patriarch. If I had to be the patriarch while dealing with humans like you then I would most probably die from boredom." Stuart chuckled loudly before turning his head to glance at Zen briefly.

'So that's the human where I cannot take his life. What's so special about him?' Stuart said inwardly as he doesn't understand Evie's intention. 

However, he wasn't going to disobey and go behind her back to kill Zen because he was sure there would be no place left for him once he did that.

The frustration of not being able to kill him caused an itch in his skin so Stuart turned around to glance at the person who spouted the nonsense of kidnapping him.

Instantly, the person shuddered in fear as his body started shaking. He started stepping backward, hoping that Stuart was not glancing at him and would ignore his words from before.

Stuart curved his lips upward as he narrowed his eyes in amusement. Without making any sound, Stuart appeared next to the person and snapped his neck open before reappearing in his original position.

No one realized Stuart killed someone already but Zen was able to see the movement Stuart did and his action. 

'Such nimbleness sound and swift movement.' Zen praised inwardly the skills Stuart has.

Although Stuart killed a person, Zen wasn't related to him in any sort of way so there was no anger nor hatred toward Stuart at all. If that person had shouted the same nonsense used on him then Zen would gladly do the same action as Stuart.

Stuart merely smiled when he realized his action was caught by Zen, the one where Evie told him to take extra care for. 

'Seems like this human is more interesting than I thought. I better stay focused or the Miss would wring my head off.'

At this time, the person's head dropped to the ground at this moment, causing everyone to be shocked by the sudden death of their companion.
