Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 638

Chapter 638: Scuffle

Kaiden coughed.

Not a light one.

A low, dangerous sound that vibrated in his chest.

Bastet stiffened.

Her entire body shuddered from head to toe, ears twitching violently as if struck by lightning. Her golden eyes snapped toward him, instantly wide.

"I-I will behave, Master..." she said at once, posture straightening with alarming obedience.

Luna snorted.

Aria covered her mouth to hide a grin.

Kaiden pinched the bridge of his nose. "Let’s just walk."

They moved forward again, slipping back into the flow of the nighttime crowd. Neon lights reflected faintly off windows and damp pavement, conversations blending into a low hum. A street musician was playing something soft near a crosswalk, the melody drifting lazily through the air. For a few minutes, it felt normal again. Just a group out enjoying the city.

Alice rotated slowly above Kaiden’s head, the black halo faintly pulsing.

Then her voice brushed against his mind.

<Big brother, I sense something two blocks ahead.>

Kaiden’s expression changed instantly.

The warmth vanished.

His posture straightened, eyes sharpening as his awareness expanded outward.

<Ambush?> he asked without moving his lips.

<No... they are weak. I believe a fight among non-awakened is happening.>

<Even in this part of town...?>

This was the clean district. The polished district.

Alice remained quiet, but the faint vibration of her presence confirmed it.

Kaiden sighed inwardly.

Do I care?

He wasn’t law enforcement. He wasn’t some masked vigilante with a city contract. In fact, it was explicitly illegal for awakened individuals to interfere in civilian altercations unless lives were in immediate danger. The government did not appreciate humans playing gods on their turf.

It wasn’t his duty.

And yet...

Luna’s eyes twitched.

Bastet’s tail stilled.

Both of them had noticed the same shift in the air.

A faint shout.

A scuffle.

Something is hitting metal.

Kaiden’s own enhanced senses picked it up clearly now.

He slowed to a stop.

"I need to test something," he said casually. "I’ll be right back."

"Kai?!" Aria gasped, immediately reaching for him. "Wait..."

"Let’s go," Luna cut in smoothly, already grabbing Aria’s wrist. "There’s a park with a bench nearby."

Aria blinked. "What?"

Luna tugged her along without explanation. "Trust him."

Nyx and Alexandra exchanged a glance and followed without protest. Calypso rolled her shoulders once, eyes glinting faintly, but she didn’t move to interfere. Bastet remained where she was for half a second longer, golden gaze locked on Kaiden’s back.
