Chapter 495: Stealing heart.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Turning oneself into a homunculus, that’s really an interesting method,” Rozan looked at Mammon’s dead body and saw hundreds of cores as big as pebbles inside Mammon’s heart. “I wonder how did he do it,” Rozan grabbed the cores and looked at them. It was a masterpiece in Rozan’s eyes, but unfortunately, he couldn’t bring them back to Earth.

“Don’t do anything stupid,” Gunnar smacked Rozan in the head with his shield. “Your experiment is already beyond human’s imagination,” Gunnar continued as he dragged Rozan to the portal.

“Relax. I’m not crazy enough to do an experiment like this because I can’t do it by myself. Unless there’s someone that can help me with this,” Rozan chuckled mischievously, but then Gunnar smacked him in the head again. “Can you stop, dude? I’m still having a headache from the fight!” Rozan looked pissed as he rubbed his head.

Gunnar laughed as Rozan looked at Jeanne who walked in the front on her own.

“Two Demon Kings left, Belphegor and Azazel. Once it’s over, we can rest until the breakout happens,” Sven stretched his arms and neck. “By the way, Gunnar. Are you really okay with this? About Enma?” Sven asked as he walked behind Gunnar in the endless hallway.

“Yeah, the boss said it’s not for a while. I can be with her again soon enough,” Gunnar answered and he looked fine by it.

Sven shrugged his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

“Let’s take a day break. I have somewhere to go and I bet you guys are tired as well. So let’s meet again tomorrow in the morning,” Jeanne said, and she sounded like she wanted to go somewhere.

Nobody complained and decided to throw a small party in the suite.

Mykel was in his office alone since Elena was with Lyneth and brought her siblings with her. Lucifer and Bhatmelec were exploring Earth since she wanted to look at the world Lucifer had taken an interest in.

Mykel was daydreaming because he was bored and a bit anxious at the same time. He was making sure that everything had been set and that there was no flaw in his plan. He then felt Jeanne’s presence coming to his office, and he already knew why she was there because he watched and listened to the conversation she had with Rozan.

Before Jeanne even entered the room, Mykel felt all the power inside his body leaving him. He was confused until he realized what had happened and who did it. Jeanne activated the [Caelestikinesis] skill then entered the room, and she looked like she was staring at Mykel with desperation.

“Come in,” Mykel looked at Jeanne who stood at the door still wearing her armor and sword hanging on her waist.

Jeanne closed the door behind her and locked the door as she kept making eye contact with Mykel. She then walked to his desk and when Mykel wanted to stand up, she pushed him back down and sat on his lap.

Jeanne breathed heavily as she kept staring Mykel in the eye with her hands pressed on his chest.

“Were you watching?” Jeanne asked.

Mykel nodded his head without saying a word.

“Am I being a pushover?” Jeanne asked again.

Mykel smiled and shook his head.

“If you were asked the same question, what kind of answer you would give?” Jeanne asked as she clenched her fists on Mykel’s chest.

“I would say that I’m not,” Mykel answered and his answer was genuine.

Jeanne’s eyes were glimmering in tears and they fell onto Mykel’s cheeks. She was forcing her smile because she was glad that he told her the truth, but it was painful to hear. They both kept staring at each other, and when she wanted to stand up, Mykel stopped her and held her waist down.

“Because I have never opened my heart to anyone ever since I came here,” Mykel explained. “That doesn’t mean I can’t try,” Mykel continued and felt that she stopped resisting.

“So you don’t love them? Miss Lyneth? Goddess Hera? Goddess Freyja? The Demon Princesses?” Jeanne asked as she sniffled.

“No, but you’re the only person who cried for me because of your feeling,” Mykel answered as he wiped the tears from her cheeks. “I would love to see you try to steal my heart because the only ones who have a genuine interest in me are you, Hera, and Beldathiel,” Mykel continued.

“Even if I stole your heart, do you think you can only deal with one woman?” Jeanne asked.

“One time, I only looked at one woman for a very long time. She was the only one who stole my heart, but she was no longer here. So, to answer your question, yes, I can,” Mykel answered without hesitation. “In the first place, I have no interest in them other than for business,” Mykel continued.

“Why are you such a lady killer?” Jeanne chuckled as she sniffled with a big smile on her face.

Mykel smiled as he slowly put his right hand behind Jeanne’s neck and pulled her gently. She rested her head on his chest and could feel and hear the beating of his heart which made her calm.

“Let’s have dinner together,” Mykel said as he stroked Jeanne’s hair.

Jeanne hummed and they both went to have breakfast in the nearest restaurant after Jeanne cleaned herself up.

The next morning, Mykel brought Jeanne back to the suite and saw the mess in the living room. Dozens of empty bottles of alcohol were scattered around the floor. Rozan was sleeping on the couch with his staff in his hand and then awoken by Mykel.

“Last night seemed fun,” Jeanne looked at the leftover cakes, pizzas, and kinds of pasta on the kitchen counter. She tried the cake and it tasted delicious that she couldn’t stop eating it.

“I’ll go and check on Aurea,” Mykel went upstairs as Jeanne hummed with understanding.

Mykel entered Aurea’s room and saw Aurea sitting on her bed staring at the morning sky. He was surprised that it didn’t take long for her to recover.

“Awoken by the commotion last night?” Mykel asked as he opened the balcony door and let the chill wind enter her room.

“These guys really are inconsiderate,” Aurea sighed as she stood up. “You look… different,” Aurea furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Mykel since she couldn’t feel an overwhelming power around him.

“That’s because Jeanne sealed my power. She hasn’t undone her skill since last night. She wanted to see me powerless,” Mykel answered and put a cigarette in his mouth.

“Wow, it only took her a day to assert dominance. Did something happen?” Aurea grabbed the cigarette from Mykel’s mouth and lit it with [Hellfire]. “It’s been a while since the last time I smoke,” Aurea puffed the smoke and looked at the sky.

“So? Looks like you have something to say,” Aurea looked at Mykel and squinted her eyes because the sunlight was blinding her.

Jeanne was curious why it took Mykel so long to check on Aurea. She decided to go up and bring the rest of the cake with her since she realized that Aurea might be awake. When she entered the room, she saw Aurea and Mykel were talking on the balcony, but Aurea looked so shocked.

Mykel and Aurea looked at Jeanne who stood at the door with a cake in her hands.

“Am I disturbing you guys?” Jeanne asked with her eyebrows raised.

“Not really, we were just smoking and talking about how you dominated him on the bed last night,” Aurea grinned as she looked at Jeanne.

Jeanne’s face turned red and she didn’t say anything because she was too embarrassed.

“You’re quite bold to do something like that to him,” Aurea chuckled as she took the cake. “Can you invite me next time, I want to see it with my own two eyes,” Aurea continued and ate the cake. “Anyway, let’s have breakfast together. I’m starving,” Aurea went to her wardrobe and changed her outfit.

Jeanne nodded and left the room, and when Mykel was about to leave the room, his eyes met Aurea’s. She nodded her head and then Mykel left the room and went downstairs with Jeanne.

“You would go to that extent just to attract her attention. Quite shocking,” Aurea wore a white shirt and then left the room.
