Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 837

Chapter 837: The Gambit

They filed out of the chamber in various states of combat readiness, the Phase 2 countdown ticking behind Kaiden’s vision.

Alice was waiting in the corridor with her arms crossed and her chin tilted at an angle that meant someone was in trouble.

"You were ’successful’, hmm, big brother...?" she asked, and her tone made it clear she already knew the answer and was asking solely to establish her undisputed right to be mad at him.

"We did it, yeah," Kaiden confirmed.

The pout that sealed Alice’s mouth could have been registered as a natural disaster. "Stupid big brother..."

Then her eyes found Alexandra, and the pout evaporated so completely it might never have existed.

"You’re a Valkyrie!" She grabbed the blonde’s hands, eyes blazing. "Fortification and Restoration!"

"Y-yes?" Alexandra managed, startled by the warmth offensive.

"We’re going to be the best support duo this world has ever seen." Alice’s grip tightened with feverish certainty. "I heal from Conduit, you heal from the ground. As long as we work together, nothing touches Kaiden and the horny wenches- I mean the others."

"Hey."

"Little sis."

"Watch your mouth."

"We’re not the ones throwing a hissy fit about the most unhinged thing ever."

The girls weren’t having it, replying in perfect synchronization.

Alice didn’t seem to hear them.

Alexandra’s smile came slow and wide, her chest flooding with joy as she gripped Alice’s hands tight and then pulled the girl into a big hug, nearly suffocating her in the process.

Vespera stood near the back, arms folded, her gaze drifting to Scarlet.

The Flame Monarch leaned against the doorframe with an empty wine bottle dangling from two fingers.

Vespera’s eyes moved from the bottle to Scarlet’s face.

"Don’t ask anything," Scarlet said.

"Fun?" Vespera ignored the demands.

"I just told you not to ask!"

"I pay your salary. Behave."

"... You damned woman," Scarlet murmured, then sighed, dryly. "Yeah, watching your son sweat it out with five women was just the best."

Vespera didn’t react, evaluating with an expression that gave away nothing.

"I was being sarcastic," Scarlet clarified upon the scrutiny she was receiving, then hiccuped and asked for a second wine bottle.

Kaiden looked at the group gathered around him and the countdown ticked quick.

"We don’t know what Phase 2 throws at us," he said, and his voice settled into the register his girls knew. "But I know every person in this corridor, and I know what we do when we fight together."

"We’re doing this? Team captain speeches now?" Luna murmured.

"Yeah, why not?" Nyx giggled.

"Seeing Kai’s expression and hearing his voice, I’m already fired up," Aria decreed.

He opened his arms. "Bring it in."

They crashed into him. Luna first despite her complaint, her small body slamming into his chest at competitive speed. Aria claimed his left, Nyx his right, Calypso engulfed what remained, and Bastet pressed in with her ears forward and her tail curling around the nearest limb.
