Chapter 520 Extraordinary Part 1
'I think they needed me more than they let on,'
he added.
It felt strange getting so much attention, even with his strength.
There were plenty of other Demon Kings with potential, after all—some nearly as powerful as him and eager for a chance to rise in rank.
He wondered what made him so essential to their plans. Perhaps it wasn't just about strength; maybe there was something unique about his abilities, or maybe they had a specific task that only he could handle.
Whatever it was, it had to be important if even someone as hot-tempered and ruthless as Tara was willing to spare him.
This meant he could act more boldly in the future, pushing boundaries without fearing immediate consequences.
'Why do I feel like demons appreciate me more than humans?'
he muttered to himself.
It was ironic, really, but considering he'd been killing and devouring humans from day one, their reaction was probably to be expected.
Humans had every reason to hate him, and he'd given them no reason to think otherwise.
In their eyes, he was nothing but a monster.
The demons, on the other hand, saw his actions as nothing more than a minor detail; his power was what truly mattered to them.
Their world had different rules, and for once, he found himself fitting in.
'If they weren't so fixated on acting like humans, I think we'd actually get along,'
In his ideal world, he'd be planning with other demons to lay waste to human cities, savoring the chaos and destruction.
But here they were, debating over how to protect mankind and building their own structured society instead of tearing things down. It didn't sit well with him at all.
Powerful beings were meant to dominate, to carve their own path through strength and fear, not adopt the same rules and restrictions inferior beings lived by.
The entire direction of their council frustrated him, making him wonder if being in charge would change things.
As he pondered his next move, the pendant suddenly vibrated, breaking his concentration. He glanced at it quickly. It was from Elizabeth.
Her jealousy bubbled to the surface, and she couldn't shake the feeling that Elizabeth was taking her job away.
She should be the one standing by his side, helping him through everything, not some other girl.
"I can help too, I can fix this place," Anna suggested, her voice filled with determination.
He raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "You? And how do you expect to do that? Do you know the person in charge of construction?"
"No," she shook her head.
Reign let out a sigh. "Then don't offer something you don't even have a clue about."
The words stung, and her feelings were hurt, but she quickly forced a smile onto her face.
"I'm sorry," Her voice was soft and sincere. She didn't want to make things worse, so she swallowed her frustration and tried to push past it. Explore more adventures at empire
After a while, Reign sensed there were people at the entrance. Using the key, he allowed them to enter.
They were a mix of different types of demons, each with abilities focused on construction.
Without wasting time, they immediately got to work.
The demons moved quickly and efficiently, their skills turning the ruined garden back into its original state. In just an hour, everything was restored—craters filled in, broken furniture replaced, and the plants were carefully re-planted.
The destruction was nothing but a memory now, the mansion once again serene and undisturbed.
"General, we will take our leave," one of the construction demons said, bowing his head respectfully.
They already knew his rank and status, as he had become the hottest topic in the capital.
His rapid rise had caught everyone's attention, and with it came rumors.
Some claimed he was Draven's secret son, born from another woman.
Others whispered that he was a long-lost heir to an ancient, powerful bloodline, one that could rival even Draven's own.
Few speculated that he wasn't just favored but was being groomed to be the new leader for the Alliance.
It was an audacious mix of theories, but with Reign's sudden and extraordinary rise, no one was willing to dismiss them completely
