Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Ready to Burst

At the head of the crowd stood Talia.

No longer in casual clothes.

No longer crying.

No longer the overwhelmed guild leader that Kaiden had shattered in the negotiations.

Talia offered Kaiden a small nod as he approached. She didn’t look angry. But neither did she look friendly.

Instead, she looked like a woman with something to prove.

"Kaiden."

"Talia."

"Lawyers are prepped. Contract’s printed, marked, and triple-validated. We sign now. After that, you must descend immediately."

"Understood," Kaiden said, but then looked around, feeling something was missing. "Where are the other awakened of Runewoven? I see nobody besides Diaz... Last time, there were many of your members standing idly by."

"The ownership transfer is to be kept secret for now. Our high-level awakened would not feel great about having such low-levels as partial owners of the guild they work for. I hope you understand..." Talia sighed.

"But it’s okay to have level 1, non-awakened owners?" Aria asked.

From the line of suits, someone clicked their tongue. "Tch!"

Another whispered, "Disgraceful."

"It must be natural to them. The suits are rich, many being wealthy for generations, so it’s given that they’d own the guild," Luna responded, ignoring the disapproving sounds and answering Aria’s question. "They were born privileged, with Daddy’s and Mommy’s money helping them get ahead in life."

Nyx nodded in agreement. "Right. But we, low-level awakened who had to start from nothing just as most of them had, should not enjoy the same benefits. It makes them feel like we made shortcuts to get ahead in life. It doesn’t make too much logical sense, but I can easily see Luna being right for once."

"Fine with me," Kaiden replied to Talia after considering his girls’ words. "It’s not like we wanted to broadcast this deal anyhow. I even prefer it this way."

Talia nodded, then extended her hand. "Let’s get it done."

He stepped forward and took it.

Their handshake was brief but powerful.

And the moment they let go, a team of assistants moved forward with paper-thin mana-slates, formalizing the execution of the 20% ownership transfer agreement.

Kaiden’s name appeared on the screen in luminous script. So did his title.

Kaiden Grey — Silent Shareholder, Runewoven Guild.

He glanced at it once, then used his finger to sign.

A chime sounded, confirming the finalization.

Kaiden turned from the document to see the outcome of the signing.

A silent, seething crowd. That was the result.

Some had already turned away.

Others remained still, arms crossed, eyes calculating.

They were waiting for the next part.

The real test.

Dungeon clearance.

Kaiden adjusted the strap on his sword.

Then, without fanfare, he walked toward the dungeon gate.

His team followed.

The Valkyries.

The felinid.
