Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163: But?

A woman, clad in a sharp black suit and matching glasses, stood with perfect posture. Her jet-black hair was tied into a tidy bun. Flanking her were two tall, broad-shouldered men in tactical vests, each with communication earpieces in their ears and unreadable expressions on their faces.

Kaiden’s body tensed, and his eyes narrowed. He knew it was a possibility, but...

’Already? Damn it! How did they find our location so soon?’

The woman didn’t replicate his hostile stance. Instead, she lifted both hands slowly and calmly as her lips parted into a polite, professional smile.

"Please don’t be alarmed," she said in a smooth, practiced voice. "My name is Grace. I serve as the executive secretary to the Chairman of the Awakened Association."

Kaiden didn’t relax. Neither did the others, who had already grabbed their weapons from their bags while Bastet’s pupils thinned as she scanned the intruders.

Grace’s gaze briefly drifted to the feline, and for a moment, she froze with her eyes widening in unfiltered awe. Her breath caught in her throat as her pupils trembled with wonderment. She couldn’t believe what her eyes were showing her.

But she quickly composed herself, coughing lightly into her palm. "Ahem. Pardon me. It’s... not every day you see such a sight."

Bastet merely tilted her head to the side, not impressed by the praise she was receiving. "What do you want, human?"

Grace smiled again, though slightly tighter now. She turned back to Kaiden.

"We believe you, Kaiden Grey, your companion Bastet, and the young women accompanying you, namely: Luna Aster, Aria Levander, and Nyx Cosmos may be facing imminent danger. Not from dungeons or monsters, but from rogue organizations, foreign governments, and private parties eager to study—or claim—you all."

Kaiden’s frown deepened, but the wild pounding of his heart lessened. ’So that’s what this is about... They’re quick to act, that’s for certain.’

"You’re all too unique," Grace continued her explanation. "An awakened male who successfully tamed a monster. Three women who awakened in the same time frames, at the same location, and are acquaintances. If that wasn’t enough, all three of you have the previously unseen Valkyrie subclass category and were shown to have the exact same power output during your evaluation as Kaiden with his Paragon of Sin class. The five of you have become a beacon... and a target."

She gestured to the two imposing men standing beside her. "These are Agents Hugh and Oren. Both are A-tier awakened, trained for close protection, extraction under duress, and rapid magical response. The Chairman wishes to offer their services to you."

The one on the left, Agent Hugh, gave a slight nod, face like stone. His visible aura radiated the same pressure Kaiden remembered feeling from his mother—though to a much lesser degree. It marked Agent Hugh as a high-level awakened. The other, Agent Oren, looked a touch more relaxed but was equally formidable. The kind of guy who wouldn’t flinch if a dragon landed on the roof.

Grace continued. "The Chairman has personally ordered that you be given a temporary secure residence. One shielded with high-grade stealth enchantments and spatial interference barriers. It’s off-grid and not something easily traced or broken into, unlike this rental apartment."

"So you’re saying this is all for our safety...?" Luna asked suspiciously.

Grace nodded. "The Chairman believes in acting before tragedy strikes, not after. But the choice is yours. We won’t force you. However, we would highly advise against staying in this location any longer. If you do choose to remain, we’ll be forced to evacuate the other residents for their protection, as... hostile encounters are a near certain guarantee."
