Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698: Kaiden’s Promise

The wind blew.

Kaiden sat with his back to his siblings and his legs hanging over a basin full of dead monsters, and nobody answered his question.

A long moment passed.

Then Kaiden’s posture shifted.

It was subtle. His posture straightened, shoulders settling, and the air on the ridge changed in a way that had nothing to do with the wind.

His mana pressure uncoiled.

It rose from him like heat from sun-baked stone, slow and dense, carrying a weight that had nothing to do with tier classifications or level assessments. The wrathful, oppressive mana signature that the forum poster had described in extremely livid details bloomed outward from his body and pressed against the three people standing behind him, and the ridge got heavier.

When he spoke again, his voice carried the edge of it.

"Times have changed."

The twins took a step back each.

"I have a family now. People who looked at me when I had nothing and decided I was worth their time. People who fight beside me, bleed for me, and love me for exactly who I am." His voice hardened further. "And I cherish every single one of them."

The mana pressure spiked and the stone beneath his palms cracked, two thin fissures spreading outward from where his hands rested. He still didn’t turn around.

"So here’s what I need you to understand."

The words came slow. Each one placed with the precision of a man who wanted no ambiguity.

"You can mock me. Call me whatever you want. Go home and tell father that his embarrassment of a son is still a stain on the Ashborn name. I don’t care. I stopped caring about your approval when I packed my bags for that dorm, and I’m not starting again."

Pause.

"But if any of you touch my girls."

The mana pressure was no longer subtle. It pressed against Selena and the twins like the air before a thunderclap, dense enough that breathing required effort.

"If you go near them. If you use father’s name to threaten them. If you lift a single finger against the people I love."

He let the silence fill with it.

"I will end your lives myself, with my own two hands."

The mana pressure swelled after the words left his mouth, settled into the stone like a fury that had been caged for years, and the ridge groaned beneath it.

Nobody spoke.

Cassian and Calix stood three meters behind their older brother and looked at his back.

The silhouette sitting at the edge of that cliff radiated a dread that made the hair on their arms stand and their mana flinch inward on instinct, the way a flame shrinks from a wind it can’t fight. The pressure rolling off his shoulders was dense and dark. It didn’t feel like a person’s mana, but like standing too close to a creature that hunted in places where light didn’t reach.

Their brother’s back looked the same as it always had. Broad shoulders, relaxed posture, legs swinging over a drop that should have terrified him.
