Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 873

Chapter 873: Hope

Behind Kaiden, Vespera’s composure held.

But the faintest warmth touched her eyes.

Her cub had just played a room full of adults without raising his voice, and the pride she felt was the kind she’d bury under professionalism and save for the drive home.

Kaiden’s ’charity’ regarding the information he was willing to provide sounded generous.

In reality, it cost him nothing substantial.

He’d already streamed the layout of the dungeon for the whole world to see, save for parts of his own home, which of course would be far from the zones any outsider is allowed to access.

It housed his throne, after all. Anyone who sat on it could take away his Dungeon Master status.

There was a second reason why he was so ready to cooperate.

Kaiden’s DMP counter had stopped reading as a number during the Kaiju’s forfeiture and become a blur, twenty consumed dungeons’ worth of resources pouring into his pool in one catastrophic transfer.

The total sat in the hundreds of thousands, untouched.

He hadn’t spent a single point of it because the stream had been live, the countdown of returning to Earth had been tight, and spending dungeon resources on camera would’ve been plain stupid.

But those points were his, deployable the moment he deemed it was time to completely revamp his dungeon. Should he decide, all information anyone gleans before that moment would be for the history books, not relevant data about breaking his dungeon.

And who knew, actual Association researchers with actual instruments and tons of backing might hand him data about his own home that even he didn’t know about.

Then the saintly smile intensified.

It got worse.

Kaiden Grey leaned backward in his chair and radiated such pure, concentrated benevolence that if you squinted hard enough you could almost see a golden halo forming behind his head.

His eyes softened. His posture opened. Every line of his body communicated selfless generosity so aggressively that Grace felt her skin crawl, because the man sitting across from them had built his career on chaos, profanity, and an intense desire for personal growth instead of focusing on the collective’s benefit.

Watching him channel the energy of a saint handing bread to orphans was one of the most unsettling things she had witnessed in her professional life.

The Chairman felt it too as his fingers tightened a fraction against each other on the table.

"Now," Kaiden said, his voice warm and magnanimous, "since Eclipse is being so generous with its cooperation, we do hope the Association hasn’t forgotten about the competition rewards that are still pending formal disbursement. The gear, the Chronos, the dungeon allotments."

He tilted his head, all innocent concern. "We trust that’s being handled? After all, not only did Runewoven, subsidiary of Eclipse, finish in first place in the rankings, but we also solved the mystery of why the monsters were converging in the mountain range to begin with. We completed both requirements to be deemed the winners."

The scribe’s pen stopped.
