Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Sync Class

Kaiden leaned back into the couch, arms stretched behind Aria and Luna as Rae and Riven wrapped up their unexpected info drop. His smile lingered, but his thoughts drifted.

Level 72. A-Tier Awakened. Both of them.

That put the twins just below the true monsters, the rare S-Tiers that sat at the top of the food chain. Powerhouses capable of shifting battlefields by themselves. It was an elite bracket that only a handful of people in the country could even dream of.

Kaiden exhaled slowly.

Riven and Rae were strong. Incredibly strong. But not invincible.

That was important to remember.

Still, Kaiden wasn’t ungrateful. Quite the opposite. For what it was worth, the government had done a lot. They’d provided this high-tech house. A reinforced bunker disguised as a basement. Equipment, surveillance protections, a direct line to federal support... and now these two absurdly powerful bodyguard twins.

But Kaiden wasn’t naïve enough to think all of this was purely for his safety.

They weren’t just protecting him and the girls.

They were watching them.

The USA got next to nothing from him or his team. Not loyalty, not allegiance, not taxes, not even direct cooperation. They weren’t registered members of any domestic guild, association, or research initiative. Just private citizens with too many unknowns.

So really, from the government’s point of view, this whole setup wasn’t charity.

It was containment.

A comfortable cage with nice furniture.

Kaiden glanced toward the hallway. It wasn’t just a bunker: it was probably lined with enough scanners, sensors, and passive surveillance tech to feed a month’s worth of data into whatever black site lab had clearance for their case files.

And Riven and Rae?

They weren’t exactly prison wardens, but they weren’t here solely to play bodyguard either, he was sure of it. He liked the pair a lot, but if they didn’t have instructions to ’keep an eye on them,’ then he would be shocked to the very core.

Kaiden could swiftly decipher the thought process of the Awakened Association in assigning them these protections. If someone small-time came sniffing around, the twins would crush them before the alarm even blared. They could protect Valhalla’s Sinners from almost all threats, and they could sleep in peace in the bunker’s safe walls.

But if something serious came knocking? A black-ops team. An S-tier threat. A foreign nation’s elite strike squad?

Then all they’d be really good for is stalling.

Buy time. Raise the alarm. Hold the line just long enough for the real hitters of the USA to mobilize. Because giving a team like his 24/7 protection by true S-rankers? That just wasn’t going to happen.

Scarlet, the Flame Monarch?

She wasn’t going to spend her days standing on Kaiden’s porch with a clipboard and sunglasses. People like her were treated as national assets, used sparingly and strategically, not babysitting unaligned wildcards. Furthermore, she wasn’t even a government agent but a free awakened, hiring her services for such a work would’ve likely bankrupted the country sooner or later.

But despite this, Kaiden smiled faintly to himself.

Why?

Because this was fine.

He didn’t expect to be given anything more. Not when they were still flying so far outside the system’s lines. He was just glad the current arrangement didn’t come with more strings or veiled threats.

The only thing he had to give up was privacy. And sure, it stung badly, but compared to being kidnapped, dissected, or drafted? That was a bargain. They could retake their privacy once they were strong enough to protect themselves.
