Chapter 42: The Enemy in the Shadows

At midnight, a taxi stopped outside the Grand Bretagne. Kareta got out of the car and took a few steps up the stairs into the lobby.

The lobby at this time was rather deserted, with only a handful of necessary hotel staff. As she passed by the CAFE in the lounge area, the corner of Carette's eye suddenly caught the dark-haired man in a crisp black suit.

Demos, he's here againβ€”

As soon as he stopped, he had already seen her. The square table he was sitting at was facing the aisle, clearly waiting for her on purpose.

Did you come and persecute me again?

Kareta was worried. But no matter what his purpose is, he can't say hello if he doesn't go over to say hello. Anyway, it's in public, and he won't mess around.

Thinking about it, she walked straight away, her expression dazed.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Hmm. Come and see you. ”

Demos replied, focusing on Carret's shiny red nose.

"Crying nose again?"

He slammed up from the soft chair and reached out in front of her with one hand. She immediately looked very disgusted, and jerked her head to the side.

"Don't move!"

He accentuated his tone and reached out again to straighten her face, his movements a little stiff. The next second, another hand followed, his fingertips brushing her slightly wet eyelashes, carrying the male's body heat and the faint smell of men's cigarettes mixed with cologne. Compared with the previous face-breaking action, it was extremely gentle and careful.

Carette must admit that Demos does possess a charm that is characteristic of a grown man, mysterious and dangerous, making her sometimes heartbeat and sometimes a little afraid. So, she tried to break away from his tenderness, not daring to cross the line by half a step.

"Demos ...... Can you remove the dark power from Jose?"

After thinking about it for a while, she finally whispered what she wanted to say.

"You're begging me?"

Demos stared at Carret's face, raising one of his eyebrows, unable to hide his smug expression.

"Do you know that that kind of spell that is too strong and too strong will kill him sooner or later!"

"Humph......"

Demos let out a few sneers, and his two dark eyes became more and more cold, all of which were occupied by Karete's sad and dejected face.

"Remember, the next time I find you hugging him or doing some other intimate thing, I'll kill him!"

"You...... Are you following me?"

"Is it worth it for the Dark God to use such a non-magical method! You are my woman, I can't allow anything to betray me!"

"What? What do you call your woman?"

Carreta couldn't bear Demos's hypocrisy and domineering, and retorted indignantly. He took a step closer to her, his smiling face showed a bit of obscenity, and he whispered:

"Isn't it? So I don't have to be responsible for watching you touch your body?"

"You, you, you......"

Karette's face was flushed to the base of her ears, and she was angry and ashamed. Suddenly, she reacted.

"Wait, so you know about my assassination by Helen?"

"You're stupid!" Demos sneered. "It's kind of generous that I can move you three to that kid's house in time!"

"That teleportation, it's you!" Karette's eyes widened in disbelief. "Well, you saved us. ”

"Who do you think it is? But saving him is by no means giving him a chance to take advantage of you!"

Kareta glared at him hoarsely, looking reluctant. Demos smiled generously.

"It seems that your condition is much better than I expected, and Hades' wife has good medical skills......"

The smile froze, and a pair of black pupils remained motionless behind Karete. On Demos's handsome face, the cloudy expression grew thicker and thicker.

"What's wrong with you?"

Kareta broke out in a cold sweat at his abrupt reversal. Subconsciously looking back, there was nothing unusual about the corner of the wall behind it except for the decoration of a few potted pine trees.

"It's nothing, it's better not to go out casually if there's nothing special. Be careful, maybe the Titans lurking around you and me aren't just the Hades. ”

As he spoke, Demos withdrew his disdainful gaze, and his frozen expression melted. Summoning a waiter at the bar, he handed over a card to pay for tonight's purchase.

"Are you leaving?"

"What?

He deliberately teased her, just to see her angry but shy expression. He didn't want her to know that every time that expression appeared on that delicate face, his eyes would be drawn for a long time, and he didn't want to take it off easily.

"I've come out of the Dark Temple, and I'll have to go back for a while. If you leave for too long, some incidents will inevitably arise. ”

"Oh. That...... That one...... Thank you for saving me. ”

With a blushing face and snorting for a while, Carette finally spoke from the bottom of her heart, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Demos smiled and walked out of the hotel under her watch.

He stopped on the steps in front of the glass revolving door and looked up at the night sky.

There was not a single starlight in the chaotic curtain, but the moon was extraordinarily full and full, oozing a bright red like blood.

"Huh...... It's really a rare bloody moonlit night! Such a night will add a lot of souls who died in vain. ”

Muttering indifferently to himself, his figure hurriedly disappeared into the other side of the night......

In a hidden place on the street corner, a slender shadow is gradually revealed, highlighting a delicate female sign. With a chuckle, her fingers ran through the purple hair of her sideburns, and her falcon-sharp gaze lingered for a long time in the direction where Demos had gone.

"It's not a shame that the god of darkness was almost discovered by you in the hotel, but it seems that he is quite close to Karete. If you bring this news to Kamod...... Hehehehehe......"

As soon as Demos returned to the Dark Temple, he changed into the god's dress and boots and sat down on the throne in the main hall.

Kali stood respectfully directly below him, reporting back to him in detail. At this moment, she felt a little more at ease, she knew her brother's habits. Usually as long as he changes into a god costume, it indicates that he will stay in another dimension for a long time.

"Recently, the eyeliner has returned to the news, and the Hades seems to have no further action. Although he is only a child at the age of a child, he rarely attends school and spends his days wandering in parks or children's playrooms. At present, we only know that his human father is a Greek political official, and the background of his mother is unknown. ”

Anyway, I didn't hear Demos's voice for a long time.

At this moment, Cali didn't need to deliberately look up to easily feel that his every subtle movement was firmly locked by Demos's gaze. The eyes were as sharp as lightning, full of infinite doubt and resentment, and she could not avoid them.

The heart is empty and jumping. To turn the tide, Cali picked up the cognac bottle and walked up to Demos and poured the liquid into the square glass in his hand.

"Your glass is empty, pour some more. ”

Demos lowered his gaze and slowly swayed the glass in his palm. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and drank it all.

"Cali...... Don't have a next time!"

His voice blew past her ears like a breeze, but its power sent chills down her spine.

I guessed correctly! The god who rescued Kareta at the critical moment was indeed him! If he didn't really love her, how could he care so much about the girl's life or death!

Cali gritted his teeth secretly, and his purple eyes only increased Sensen's hatred.

Helen, that stupid person, will only spoil my business-
