Chapter 70 – Demon’s Viciousness
JOHN’S POV
“They are using the underground technique as their shield. They won’t be coming out if there’s no necessary” Cassius said as he glared at the ground. We stood outside while our men were fighting the enemies who showed up.
“They can hide there all they want. But it won’t be long before they are forced to show themselves up” I replied.
“Better hurry up. Demon is a weasel, he wouldn’t hold himself back for a long time. I guess he must have different strategies to take us down. And finishing the task here we need to return fast”
I was about to reply when someone ran towards us “Alpha”. It was Jaxson. He was panting like he ran for a long time.
“What happened to you?” I asked him.
“The pack house was under attack. Few of the enemies barged inside dodging the security system” he informed me, making me curse inside.
“Fuck” Cassius growled. “Savannah and Adriana are with the kids so it will be hard for them to fight back. As for Reese, she just got better recently. It won’t be easy for her to fight leaving only Tanea who is able to fight back. We they able to fight with the enemies and protect themselves?” He looked at Jaxson and ordered ” take a look at what’s happening inside. We need to finish the task here before we could move towards them and lend help. I want you to take care of them until we are there”
Jaxson nodded and immediately left. I clenched my fist. I really don’t want her to get hurt this time. Demon is really smart. He wanted to use them to get the advantage against us.
“That wretch” Cassius almost roared. “He thinks he is the smart one here. Bastard just show yourself up in front of me. I will show you how to take advantage of the situation” he gritted his teeth. I can feel what he is feeling because I am going through the same phase. We could give our life to protect what’s precious to us. And in this whole world nothing is more precious than our mate, they are our soul, the reason for our living.
“Cassius, you need to calm down. Even if Demon thinks he got a handful of himself and could easily defeat it then he needed to give another thought about it. Besides the women there are not some ordinary ones. Three of them are Lunas and also a mother and you know how strong a mother’s instinct is. You can’t underestimate them and their power”
He looked at me then heaved a sigh “you are right, I know Adriana could handle a few thugs easily, even so it’s just I couldn’t help myself but to worry about” he shook his head.
“Look” I whispered, gesturing towards the bushes when I felt the leaves slightly moved.
“He is here” Cassius gritted his teeth. Just as his words fell the ground opened up and few people showed up. Among them was a bulky man who had scratches on his face from forehead to his neck. He has those evil smirk throwing towards us.
“Demon” Cassius hissed angrily. His body seemed to spread the danger aura. My gaze was fixed on the man who was walking towards us.
“My, my, isn’t it Cassius the great Alpha of the Silver Shine?” Demon laughed “I guess you still recognised me Cassius. Afterall it has been years since we met”
“How can I dare to forget you Demon? Afterall you are one who is the reincarnation of Satan. If I forget you, then wouldn’t it be an insult to your existence?” Cassius mocked.
“You are still the same Cassius, that cold blooded one” Demon smiled.
“And you are still that who stabs from back” Cassius replied, “I must say all these years, you and your disgusting techniques has never changed. You should think of changing the use of the same old tricks again and again. It would bore others”
“Fuck that Cassius. If you think you can defeat me like you did to my brother then you should do it again. He was naive to fall for your tricks. You could have let him go but you didn’t. He killed him and snatched the only family I had” Demon’s eyes turned red. His anger bursted as he talked.
“Family?” Cassius chuckled “oh you even understand the meaning of that? It was said by the one who killed his own father to become the Alpha? Don’t make me laugh, Demon. Your own words are deceiving you anyway”
“Laugh all you want Cassius because this will be your last time you have that chance. We will see who has the last laugh at the end” Demon glared and yelled to his man “kill everyone here, attack” his roar echoed around the area.
Cassius and I looked at each other and gave a slight nod of understanding. It’s time to execute our first plan. I turned around and fixed my target on the army behind Demon. I made a gesture with my fingers and charged towards them. Demon ran past me targeting Cassius while his army circled around. They had the look of arrogance just like their master. I could understand what they were thinking.
“Beta John, this is the time for you to die. I hope you won’t have any regret for dying in such a way” one of them laughed and attacked me. I dodged his move and snapped my fingers again. This time before any of them had the chance to attack they were all suppressed by my men who jumped out behind them.
“What the fuck” Demon growled.
“Are you surprised?” Cassius made a tsk sound. “I told you earlier, didn’t I? You should think about changing your technique. Afterall all using the same old trick could put you in disadvantages”
“Humph even if you think you can win because of this let me remind you, this battle has just started” Demon yelled a d charged towards Cassius with a hard blow but Cassius dodged it skilfully. Their fight started to get severe.
“Kill them” I ordered my men who were holding our enemies. In a swift moment the lifeless bodies fell on the ground. But that wasn’t the end because more people started to come out of the ground attacking us.
“Fuck” I cursed and looked towards Cassius who was still fighting with Demon. They both are strong and till now it’s hard to tell who had the advantage here. I turned my head and gestured for plan B. They nodded and hid themselves in the bush. After a few moments the ground started to shake and those who were still hiding in the ground started to jump out.
“Attack , kill them all. Not a single soul should escape” I shouted charging towards them. Killing those ants is not hard. After clearing the area I went towards Cassius who tackled Demon on the ground twisting his arm.
“You made the right choice by coming here. Today I will ensure there will be no Demon in this world anymore ” Cassius snapped while Demon laughed.
“Don’t take things so lightly Cassius. No one could predict the future, you and I are just a character here” Demon laughed “but I can still change the game and turn the table. Do you want to see how?” Demon said before whistling. Before we could know another group of Demon’s army jumped out of the ground and circled us.
“Now, now. Did you like my surprise?” Demon laughed.
“Fuck” Cassius cursed and pressured on him making Demon groan in pain.
“Get the Alpha out. Attack” the man who was leading the group yelled and started to charge towards us.
“Not so fast” I jumped between Cassius and then and smirked. “It’s not like only you guys got the brain to use. Anyone with two eyes working perfectly could see clearly what you have been planning. But alas all your efforts will be gone for nothing” I snapped my finger and our men surrounded them. They looked at our people shockingly.
“Fuck” I heard Demon cursed. I turned to look at him. He was still on the ground while looking at the scene with his eyes wide.
“You won’t be thinking that it’s only you who could have thought about good planning, are you?” Cassius let out a chuckle. “Demon, Demon you are strong I might say and your pack is beastly yet you are still stuck in the old age even your tricks are turning gray”
“Just because you got a handful this time, don’t let your hopes fly higher than it should be Cassius. This is not the end. You can’t think I will be here only with this?” Demon laughed with evil gleam as he moved and freed himself from Cassius’s clutch. Before anyone could know, the Demon suddenly disappeared from sight, shocking us.
“Fuck” Cassius cursed angrily.
The group who appeared later attacked us and the fight began again. I kicked one of them and shoved another one. Cassius joined the fight, killing a few of them.
“Where did he disappeared?” I asked grabbing one of the Hell Hound wolf and wrung his neck. The body fell from my hand and I kicked it away.
“Demon knows few tricks to hide himself. But it won’t be too long for him to hide so be cautious and keep a good eye around. Using his disappearing trick he won’t be able to stay hidden for a lifetime”
I nodded “got it”. Then we started to fight again. Demon’s people are strong. They had those coarse bodies and bloody eyes. It seems they won’t stop until they drain even the last drop of blood we have in our body. We have killed most of them and the ground started to fill with the bodies of our enemies. Few of our men died and few got injured during the fight. But the members of Hell Hound are still coming in and we have to keep fighting. As I turned I saw Demon showed himself up but his gaze was fixed on Cassius who was fighting with his enemies. My eyes widened when Demon pulled out sharp long iron claws and charged towards him.
“Fuck. Cassius behind you” I shouted as I ran towards him.
“Die bastard” Demon jumped on him. But it was lucky I got near him in time and shoved Cassius away while Demon’s claws pierced on my shoulder making me groan in pain. I could feel blood dripping while I hissed when Demon pulled out the claws sharply.
“Bastard” Cassius roared and jumped on him as my body fell on the ground.
