My Supernatural Girlfriends Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 302: Big Mistake

Three Days Later.

Inside the library, with shelves stretching up to the second floor, a man sat reading books and sipping coffee, his focus so intense it was as if the world around him didn't exist.

He flipped another page and jotted down notes on a separate sheet, like a scholar whose sole purpose in life was to acquire more knowledge.

It was Asher, studying hard as usual. It had become such a habit that if he wasn't reading books, creating new spells, or improving existing ones in his spare time, he felt like something was wrong.

During his fight with Kitsune, he became fascinated with the concept of domains and was focused on figuring it out.

He had even tried asking Pantheon about it, but the ancient dragon's understanding was more instinctual than knowledgeable.

Besides, the nature of domains seemed to differ for each individual.

(Brat, I can fight now. ) Pantheon's voice echoed in his mind.

"That's good to hear because I'll be needing your help very soon," Asher replied, his eyes never leaving the book as he continued scribbling notes.

(Are you referring to the demon world?)

"Yeah, it's been three days, and Lucian's not back yet. With his powers restored and all the artifacts I gave him, he should've be back by now. "

Just as he was lost in thought, the door to his study creaked open. It was Lucy.

"Still no news about father?" He asked while going through his notes.

"No, not yet." Lucy shook her head, worry written all over her face. "Maybe something happened to him ?"

Asher paused and took out a small crystal. It still looked okay.

"No, he's fine. If something happened to him, this life core would crack."

He had given this device to Lucian, Lucy, and everyone in the Morning Star family to monitor their well-being, even across long distances.

It was based on technology from Eryx, originally designed by Julius to control numerous magic circles throughout the city remotely.

Asher had instructed the artificers to reverse-engineer it, simplifying the function to focus solely on tracking an individual's life force.

This way, if anyone ever got lost, he could easily trace them using the device.

Lucy let out a small sigh of relief but still looked uneasy.

"Then why hasn't he sent any message? It's been three days."

Asher studied the crystal for a moment before slipping it back into his pocket.

"Could be a lot of reasons. Maybe he was captured or it's taking longer than usual to convince everyone."

He half expected this to happen.

"Then should we go to the demon world ourselves?" she asked.

Asher leaned back in his chair, thinking for a moment.

"You're right. We'll wait one more day. If there's still no news, we'll go there ourselves."

Lucy exhaled slowly, trying to push down her impatience. "Okay, and—"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

A hurried sound echoed from behind the door.

Asher quickly waved his hand, and it swung open.

It was Theresa, panting heavily. "Lucy, your father—"

Lucy shot up from her seat, her heart pounding. "What happened to him, mother?"

Theresa took a deep breath, struggling to speak.

"A messenger from the demon world came. They took your father as a prisoner for betraying the demon world and allying himself with an outsider."

Lucy's blood ran cold. "What? That doesn't make sense! He came there so they would acknowledge our family."

Theresa clenched her fists. "They must be conspiring against us."

"Are they out of their minds? Didn't they get the message when even Zagan was forced to run away?"

"Where is that messenger?" Asher cut in. Talking here would not solved anything.

"She's waiting in the courtyard. She also wants to speak with you,"

He wasted no time. Grabbing Lucy and Theresa, he teleported them straight to the courtyard.

The moment they arrived, they saw the rest of the Morningstar family and their servants forming a circle around a lone figure.

A female demon stood in the center, her bat-like wings folded behind her.

A single goat-like horn curved from the side of her head, and a long tail with a heart-shaped tip swayed behind her.

Her glowing violet eyes scanned the crowd, unfazed by the attention.

"You traitor!" Lucy lashed out, dashing forward as she summoned her sword.

But before she could strike, the demon spoke.

"If you kill me, they will execute your father on the spot."

Lucy froze, her blade hovering inches from the demon's neck.

"Long time no see, Lucy."

The seductive female demon spoke up, acting as if they knew each other.

No, it was more than that—the way she smiled hinted at a closer relationship.

Though, judging by how furious Lucy looked, it clearly wasn't a good one.

"Why are you here?" Lucy's eyes narrowed, she was barely holding her own frustration.

The female demon crossed her arms over her large breasts. "Because I miss my best friend."

Lucy's expression darkened. "Don't you dare call me that."

The demon let out a small chuckle. "Are you still mad about that little prank I pulled on you before? It was just a way to make you… more true to your desires. It's a harmless prank."

"That prank almost killed me !"

"Don't be like that . It's not like you lost out. I heard you hit the jackpot with your first love."

The demon's gaze flicked to Asher, and she licked her lips seeing how delicious looking he was.

Height, body, face, charisma, aura—everything about him radiated perfection. It was effortless, a natural presence that nothing else could come close to matching.

He was definitely her type—no, he was everyone's type.

Any woman who wouldn't fall for his looks was either blind or insane.

"What a fine catch. You should be thanking me for what I did to you. Look at you—got yourself a powerful boyfriend willing to carry your family to the top."

"Unfortunately, this didn't sit well with the others, so I even volunteered to come here, out of the goodness of my heart, to deliver the news."

Lucy's aura flared with rage. In a blink, she pressed her sword against the demon's throat drawing blood.

"Say one more word, and I swear—"

"Why are you doing this to me?" the demon whined, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I'm on your side,"

The false sweetness grated against Lucy's nerves like nails on glass.

She was on the verge of exploding, her fists clenched so tight her knuckles turned white.

Before she could snap, Asher stepped in, appearing behind her and patting her shoulder.

"Let me handle this," he suggested with a calm tone.

By now, he already pieced it together—this demon was the succubus who had poisoned Lucy, forcing her to sleep with him to get rid of it.

"Your business is with me, not my wife. So, stop wasting my time and say what you want," he went straight to the point.

The demon opened her mouth, ready to throw out some snarky remarks, but the words died in her throat as his aura crashed down on her.

Killing intent like nothing she had ever experienced bore down on her. Now she finally understood why Zagan had run for his life.

The being before her was absurdly powerful—so much so that he could single-handedly tip the balance of power in the demon world.

No wonder everyone was wary of accepting him into their ranks.

Her knees buckled, slamming against the ground, her body frozen under the crushing weight of his presence.

She quickly realized this was no time for jokes.

"My name is Mara," she choked out, her voice strained. "I'm here on behalf of the royal families as a messenger.""

"What does the royal families want with me, and why did they imprison my father-in-law?"

"Mr. Lucian committed a grave crime and is awaiting trial. As one of the parties involved, I invite you to come with me to the Demon Capital."

His brow furrowed. He was already planning to do it anyway, so this might actually save him some trouble.

'They pick the wrong time.' He might have hesitated before, but with Pantheon help, any demon foolish enough to provoke then would be inviting a one-sided massacre.

Currently, Asher was still weaker than Pantheon, especially in terms of destructive power.

"I'll go with you," he responded with no hesitation.

Lucy's eyes widened in panic. "No! It's obviously a trap. They're just trying to lure you in."

Asher closed his eyes. "Don't worry. If they try something, they'll just be giving me a good reason to wipe out the entire royal family in the demon world," he paused, eying down Mara.

"If they don't want to accept the Morningstar family...Then maybe it's time to cut the numbers from twelve to one."

It was just a bluff, but Mara's blood ran cold. She started trembling.

'Did we make a big mistake testing him?'

The color drained from her face, and the arrogance in her tone was replaced with uncertainty.
