Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 637

Chapter 637: Little Walk

They stepped out of the restaurant into the cool night air. The city lights cast long shadows across the pavement, and the hum of distant traffic mixed with the soft chatter of pedestrians passing by.

Vespera adjusted her coat and glanced at the group. "It’s time to leave."

Kaiden looked at her and asked, "Would it be possible for us to take a short walk in the city? Just for a bit."

Vespera paused. Her eyes swept across the street, calculating risks and variables in the span of a heartbeat. Then she lifted one hand and snapped her fingers once.

The response was immediate and overwhelming.

Figures dropped from rooftops with practiced silence, landing in perfect formation around them. A man in a casual business suit who had been walking past suddenly stopped and fell into line. A woman pushing a stroller turned sharply and joined the perimeter. Then the ground itself rippled, and three more operatives emerged from beneath the pavement as if stepping through water.

Within seconds, a full security detail had materialized from nowhere.

Vespera’s voice cut through the air with cold authority. "I’m leaving. You will maintain the protection of my son and his loved ones."

"Yes, Lady Ashborn," they responded in perfect unison.

Naira and Lira stepped forward with grateful smiles. "Thank you for this," Naira said warmly. "It was a great night!"

"We got to taste a whole new world!" Lira added with genuine joy in her voice.

Julia smiled and walked over to Aria, pulling her into a warm hug. "It was amazing to eat with my cherished daughter after so long," she said softly.

Aria hugged her back tightly. "I’m glad you came, Mom."

Julia released her and turned to Lux, taking the girl by the arm. "Come on, sweetie. It’s time to leave. We’ll see them again soon."

Lux’s face fell immediately. "But I wanted to stay with Kai and-"

"You’re a big girl now, right?" Julia countered instantly. "Big girls don’t make a scene."

Lux pouted and looked at Kaiden wordlessly, her eyes pleading. ’Can I get my McDonald’s another day?’

Kaiden nodded with a small smile. ’As long as Aria doesn’t veto me.’

That seemed to satisfy her. She waved reluctantly as Julia led her away with Naira and Lira following close behind.

Vespera gave Kaiden one last look before stepping into the shadows and vanishing entirely.

The street felt quieter now.

Only Kaiden and his core group remained, surrounded by an invisible wall of protection.

They started walking.

Alice shifted into her conduit form and became a black halo above Kaiden’s head, spinning slowly as she settled into place.

Luna whistled. "Your mom is a badass."

Kaiden chuckled. "I know. She’s one heck of a woman."

Nyx agreed vehemently. "I was always a Scarlet fangirl, thinking Vespera was a scary psychopath... but getting to know her from this close has allowed me to see the person beneath the Shadow Monarch guise. She’s a great mother! I wish mine was like yours, too..."

Hearing that sad statement, Alexandra reached out and held Nyx’s arm. The blonde girl was the only one still wearing a mask. Her eyes showed a great amount of concern for her dearest friend. "Nyx... I’m sorry..."
