Chapter 173
The silver moon illuminated XiaoBai sitting in the armchair like a dark baron. His little pig's eyes burned with cruel intent. He was looking at a victim of his imminent punishment.
«Where's my money, Juno?» - The fat guy asked in a clear menacing tone.
«What? I don't have any money! Stop coming to me without an invitation!» - Juno said in a high-pitched voice.
«You had a few days to ask grandfather for money. But you didn't think about your poor brother, not even once. I suffer mental anguish because of you. Good sisters don't do it to their brothers, you know… When will you give me my money back?» - With his recent financial crisis, one hundred thousand had acquired unprecedented value.
«Poor?! Mental anguish?! You have money to burn! What one hundred thousand for you?!» - Juno was furious.
XiaoBai trembled. He broke into a cold sweat. He nearly lost his sister in the heat of the moment. - «Have some respect! Don't you dare to insult money! I will not tolerate blasphemy in my presence!»
«Blasphemy in your presence?!» - Juno echoed, getting out of bed. She looked like a wild cat that pulled out her claws. – «You sneaked into my room at night and now you dare to accuse me?! Have some dignity, you rotten bleeder! And don't ever come without an invitation! I will return the money as soon as I can!»
XiaoBai exhaled slowly and said in a ghostly voice:
«You have seven days.»
«What do you mean?!» - Juno asked, disheartened.
The shapeless pile of meat headed toward the exit.
Juno stamped her foot. «Seven days?! Are you threatening me?! Don't you dare to bully me! And don't you dare to come anymore!»
When brother left, Juno came behind the door and gave the three of her guards a bloodthirsty look.
«If you ever let him inside again, you will get severely punished you.»
A chill ran down their backs.
«Yes, my lady.» - The chief guardian nodded nervously, looking at the girl in an indecent silver nightie. A demoness in an angelic guise!

When Kyon came to the library in the morning, he found eight high-born guys sitting in the room. At his conservative estimate, one frightening girl could attract the critical ma.s.s of the descendants of direct blood enough to create a black hole.
The once quiet and cozy library turned into a mess. The golden youth whispered noisily among themselves. About whom? About her, the unforgettable girl. a.r.s.en and Jeremy had exaggerated her dangerous aura, power and possible family name. They were obsessed with the idea to get to know her, even with a chance one to a million. That's what her power multiplied by beauty and inaccessibility did to them.
{f.u.c.king a.s.sholes! If you are so s.e.x-deprived, go to the prost.i.tutes!} – Kyon thought but did not say out loud. They might skin him alive. In this world, beauty and talent were truly a valuable resource. They multiplied each other.
Kyon drew everyone's attention as soon as he entered the room. Half of them snorted contemptuously and turned away. Someone laughed and made some barbed comments. The others gave him silent, angry glances. Yesterday, Kyon showed them something that they couldn't accept without jealousy and shock.
Kyon took a book and began to read. He got rid of the bothering stream of unnecessary information with the help of Synergy.
The beautiful girl, who suddenly appeared in the dark corner scared the guys in the room to death. She was annoyed by the number of her fans. The lady was getting too much attention. She always had. The number of idiots in love was reaching the limit. It had come to the point that elders the fathers implored her to marry their young sons, enumerating the benefits she would get. It was bitter and sad.
The time went by. The girl
{I don't have the time to a.n.a.lyze hundreds of books in history to find out what I need... It could take me months, but the number of idiots around me will only increase and begin to cause problems. What shall I do?} - It was in her character to completely detach herself from strangers. But then she discovered a goldmine in the boy's head, and now the temptation to bring herself to talk to him was growing every second. What does it feel like using a search engine, entering any query and finding the answer?
Around mid-afternoon, Kyon's heart skipped a beat. He read about spiritual attacks based on innate and cultivated unique bodies, as well as extremely exceptional high-ranking techniques. The attack was mainly carried out through eye contact, otherwise, its effectiveness may be reduced.
And then it dawned on Kyon. If he hadn't looked into Kara's s.h.i.+ning eyes, he could have avoided the sad consequences. Knowledge is power, indeed!
Kyon took the next volume and continued reading about some spiritual attacks through eye contact, from the basic to the rarest types: suppression of will, hallucination, illusion, disorientation, blinding, as well as instilling different emotions... And enchanting.
"Enchanting is an exclusively unique spiritual attack inherent in succubus species of demons."
Kyon's jaw dropped. He continued reading.
"A succubus is a demon in female form with wings, curved horns, and a tail. It feeds on the life force of males (mostly human) which makes them even stronger. Every succubus has an innate body of enchantment that gives them the ability to use "the enchanting look." Its effectiveness depends mainly on the level of development as well as spiritual will and goals. Before a succubus uses the look of enchantment, she prepares her victim. A man that is easily seduced or excited, as well as the one who is willing to be a slave, is more likely to be a good victim. If the attack is successful, the victim loses his mind and experiences infinite pa.s.sion to the attacker for a certain period of time. The succubus power is limited by the purity of her blood. It also determines her rank. There exist inferior, average and superior succubus. The inferior succubi can enchant any pract.i.tioner who is three stages below in development with a short-term effect that requires a constant recharge. The average succubi can enchant any pract.i.tioner two stages below with a short-term effect that requires a constant recharge. The superior succubi can enchant any pract.i.tioner one stage below with a short-term effect that requires a constant recharge. There also exist imperial succubi. The properties of their enchantment are still unknown. The Royal dynasty of Tristan rules the empire of demons. It's one of the seven greatest imperial families of demons. Each of them symbolizes a vice and occupies their place for many thousands of years. It can only be a.s.sumed how powerful is the enchanting look of an imperial succubus who is related to one of the seven greatest families (succubi don't belong to a Royal dynasty but to one out of six subordinate to it.) Given the outstanding purity of their blood, the effect, power, and duration of their enchantment it's more compelling than that of the rest succubi. They might enchant not only through eye contact. Beware of these dangerous creatures."
"During p.u.b.erty, the succubi experience an irresistible attraction to males, especially to humans. The demons have a traditional annual male hunt. Succubi have a flair for the innate talent. If a male satisfies their instinctual needs, the demon can let the male seed enter her womb while she is absorbing his vital forces. It will lead to the conception of a new demon who will inherit the talents of her parents in the future. The quality of the unique inborn body (that is the purity of blood) depends on the father's talent."
Kyon was speechless. {No f.u.c.king way! Is Kara a succubus?! Of imperial rank?!} Something did not add up. Of course, she could get rid of the wings and horns in some way, for example, with the help of a formation. Kara always wore a beautiful ring that matched the color of her eyes... But this sentence didn't make sense: "If the attack is successful, the victim loses his mind and experiences infinite pa.s.sion to the attacker for a certain period of time." Kyon experienced being in love instead of pa.s.sion (a different emotion), which could hardly contribute to her revelling in his sperm. Falling in love is more like subjugation of will rather than turning a male into a s.e.x machine. Besides, if the princess had sensed his talent, she would have forced him to have s.e.x with her.
Kyon frowned. He decided to read all the books by this author and only then draw his conclusions. He was rewarded closer to the end of the volume: "There is unconfirmed evidence that there is a powerful bloodline in the heart of one of the seven greatest families of demons. The enchanting look of the representatives of this family is of a different type, level and orientation. It's unverified information. Nevertheless, it's ent.i.tled to be published. The race of demons is evil that deserves complete extermination from the face of the planet. Stay alert when fighting with them. They are capable of any dirty tricks."
The scales fell from Kyon's eyes. He had found the missing part of the puzzle. {Vlada, Kara's mother, arrived in the kingdom three years ago! It was then, according to Bai, that the king stopped talking to him and even raised the taxes! It all added up! They had enslaved the king. The demonic creatures secretly rule the kingdom, the people and drink their life juices! It's despicable...}
Kara and Vlada had grown in Kyon's opinion. He saw how dangerous and cunning they really were.
Now that he had exceptional information about where they came from, Kyon got a valuable resource. Blackmail them? It wasn't so simple. He had to approach this issue carefully, put pressure on the weak points of the demons and get the most out of it. He had come to the library for a good reason. It was all thanks to his status as a descendant of direct blood. Knowledge is a powerful force. It will help him reach unprecedented heights.
A thought flashed across his mind: {Yurich disappeared three years ago!..} – his disappearance was recorded on the border with the empire of demons. Kyon had no doubt that Kara and Vlada were somehow implicated in Juno's father disappearance. He felt he was involved in the global game with a web of intrigue on the world level.
