Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Two Posts

Kaiden’s eyes locked on Maximilian Vice.

It was not the gaze of a celebrated hero basking in applause, nor the stoic calm of a man standing tall under the President’s blessing. No, this was different. His stare was cold, absolute, a storm of supremacy and hatred so pure it was suffocating.

A stare of judgment.

A stare of vengeance.

A stare that promised blood.

Maximilian stiffened. His throat bobbed. For a heartbeat, he looked like a boy caught stealing in the dark. Yet arrogance, the best shield his swollen ego had ever known, slowly forced his chin upward. His pulse pounded in his ears, but still, he met Kaiden’s gaze with his jowls trembling with defiance.

And then, like an unwelcome mosquito in the middle of the tension, his phone began to buzz.

Bzzzz. Bzzzz. Bzzzz.

He cursed silently. The damn thing rattled against his thigh, a pulse that mirrored his hammering heart. He’d set it to silent, of course; he wasn’t a fool. Only he could feel the vibration. But the constant trembling in his pocket drove nails into his already tense nerves.

With a growl, he slipped a hand into his pants, thumbed the side button, and killed the soundless intrusion. The buzzing stopped.

He exhaled with his nostrils flaring, and with an arrogant tilt of his head, raised his nose in Kaiden’s direction as if to sneer: ’What are you staring at, dumbass?’

It was a small, petty defiance, but for a man drowning under Kaiden’s stare, it was all he had left.

And then Scarlet pulled her own phone from her elegant lady’s bag. It was fiery red as well, just like every single item the woman wore, save for a few black accents that made the red pop even more. Scarlet was dedicated to her favorite color.

She glanced at the screen, then gave a long, low whistle. Turning lazily toward Maximilian, her lips curved into a grin hot enough to burn.

"Ouch," she groaned theatrically as if she’d just been punched in the guts. "You might want to see what your cronies want, fatty~"

As the president’s ceremony continued uninterrupted by the little hushed commotion in the back that couldn’t even be heard through the distance, some cameras that were turned toward them began snapping with renewed fervor. The Flame Monarch had just dragged him back into the spotlight.

Maximilian’s jaw clenched so hard his teeth ground audibly. He sent her a sharp side-eye, brimming with annoyance, hatred, and the desperate wish that she would combust into ashes. But Scarlet’s smirk only widened, daring him to say anything out loud.

His hand shook as it reached once more into his pocket. He pulled out the phone, which was already buzzing again.

He read the message.

And his heart froze.
