Release That Succubus

She reached out towards Braxton who was still begging Kolt for mercy and grabbed his cuffs as if she was unwilling to touch him for fear that his being would dirty her in more ways than one. 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

As if Braxton weighed nothing, Luna dragged him out of the conference room into another room with adjoining wall. Braxton tried to resist with all his might but due to how scared he was, he couldn’t call on his magic and physically he was not strong enough to push back Luna who was already stronger than the average human.

Not a single person in the room tried to stop Luna as they watched her drag Braxton along the ground like he was a sack of potatoes. Luna used her foot to close the door behind her with a loud thud.

Before long miserable cries rang out from behind the closed door and everyone in the conference room could imagine Braxton’s fate when Luna would be done with him. Zach had some inkling as to how much Luna hated this man but the kind of screams emanating from next doors made even him cringe on the inside.

The screams continued for a good amount of time before they came to a halt as if the runaway silence had returned to the world after a long journey across the galaxy.

Luna looked into his barely open eyes and increased the temperature on her hands burning away his insides into a charred black mess, finally relieving him of his anguish and handing him over to the reaper of life. The only remains of his pathetic life was his hollow shell of a body that was now devoid of all its organs and the disfigured face that couldn’t be identified even by his closest kin.

The door to the adjacent room opened a little after Braxton’s gut wrenching screams vanished. Hands covered in blood and gore, Luna exited the room like she had fought a war on her own. None of those in the conference room wanted to know what she had done to Braxton after seeing her blood soaked hands and the manic glare in her eyes.

They were sure to vomit their guts at the spot if they ever found out what Luna did to the man who almost killed her beloved master in the past due to her weakness.

Zach saw Luna’s condition and held her hand to bring her out of her maddened state. Whatever she was thinking couldn’t be anything good considering what she had done inside that room.

The warmth of his hands did the job as a hint of rationality returned to her eyes as she pulled her hands free from Zach’s grip and nodded slightly to reassure him.

Zach had read many such stories related to transmigration in his previous world but so far he had failed to act even closely similar to those MCs that he was familiar with. Unlike those MCs, he wasn’t overpowered enough to decimate the whole world, neither was he the chosen one whom everyone would worship as soon as he transmigrated. Instead he had access to the latest technology but for that he needed a solid background to even begin.

The only powerful weapon he could use had already been rendered useless by the enemy and he had been forced to such a miserable state by measly enemies who weren’t even at the boss level.

All of this had happened just because he had let one of his enemies escape. Unlike the MCs that he was familiar with, he hadn’t been ruthless enough to his enemies despite all his caution and planning because he wasn’t blessed with enough luck to offset what the world could do to him.

Zach couldn’t help but consider himself a failure compared to those MCs who had been in a similar situation to him and still managed to remain on top.

It was at that moment that Zach vowed never to suffer this kind of humiliation ever again in his life whether it is in this world or the one he came from and might eventually return to. The only way he would be able to pull such a feat off was if he shed off the useless mercy and morals he had inherited in his previous world. This was a more primitive world compared to his previous world but the nature of humans was still the same. He needed to be merciless and powerful if he wanted to prevail here.

Since Prince Kolt had held up his end of the bargain, Zach considered it beneath him to back out of the deal he had made with him.

Prince Kolt on the other hand, was unfazed with the death of Braxton. In his opinion, Braxton had only been a waste of space and now that he had died to elevate Kolt to new heights, he felt that Braxton could be said to have achieved his life’s purpose.

It wasn’t that Kolt didn’t know what Zach was trying to do by asking for Braxton’s life in return for the shares of his trucks business. He knew that Zach was decreasing the number of people who knew his secret through this deal and soon Zach would turn his swords in his direction. But Kolt was sure of the strength of his family and the mage who was guarding him. As long as Prince Kolt remained a part of the royal family and the mage kept on protecting him, Zach wouldn’t be able to do anything to him and would have to live as Kolt’s money printing machine.

Zach couldn’t be sure of Kolt’s thoughts but he knew that these documents wouldn’t be the last ones he would sign as long as Kolt knew of his whereabouts.

He signed the documents that the now deceased Braxton had brought with an expressionless face as if he wasn’t the least bit bothered that the royal family was now the majority shareholder in his business that hadn’t even reached its full potential yet.

Zach looked up from the heap of documents once he was done and moved in the direction of Prince Kolt with his hand extended in front of him as if he intended to strangle Prince Kolt to death.

The mage standing behind Prince Kolt immediately took action and rushed in between Prince Kolt and Zach with a nervous expression on his face as if he was afraid that Zach would jump his liege without notice.

Zach laughed in response to this as if found this funny.

It had to be known that everyone in the room had assumed the same thing; even Luna almost thought that Zach intended to attack Prince Kolt again.

“Please don’t take my previous joke to heart. I just intended to shake hands on our deal and nothing else. You can stand behind him if you want.” Zach had a smile on his face as he asked the mage to take it easy.

The mage didn’t listen to a word he said but Prince Kolt signaled him to do as Zach told him to. Therefore, the mage moved to the side and allowed Zach to approach Prince Kolt with the maximum caution.

“Thankfully, you aren’t as rigid as your men and can take a joke. Otherwise, our cooperation would have been quite difficult since I like to joke around quite a lot. I hope that this cooperation doesn’t end up being short lived and would bring prosperity to us.” The fake smile on Zach’s face that was obvious to everyone irritated Prince Kolt but he didn’t pay it any heed and shook hands with Zach to finalize the deal.

Kolt could only sense the sharp thorns in Zach’s words and his threats to his life. At first he wondered if he was feeling biased towards Zach due to his earlier attempt on his life but when he saw that irritating smile on Zach’s face he knew that Zach was cursing him to die an early death with his flowery words.

The sheer provocation caused his face to disfigure in anger for a moment but he held it in since he needed to maintain his graceful and royal outlook in front of other people in the room.

As soon as the deal was done, Zach and those from the Elizabeth family were ushered out of the room by the royal guards who had been guarding the doors outside all this time.

None of them resisted and went with the flow before closing the door behind them. The guards then resumed their position outside as they watched the group rushing to leave in different directions.

Christina had pulled Zach with her as she took the latter somewhere while George and Barry went back to the banquet room where the ceremony was going to take place.

Inside the conference room, both the mage and Prince Kolt had dark expressions on their faces as they looked at the door where Zach had just left from. Anger and apprehension were the only two words that came to their minds as soon as they thought of Zach who was not only cunning but also hateful.

“My lord, we can’t leave a scoundrel like him alive. He will grow into a threat sooner or later. Snakes like him don’t think before biting their master’s hands. Let me take him out now that we have gotten what we came here for.” The mage escorting Kolt reminded him with hesitation. As his bodyguard, the mage had the duty to prevent anything from happening to the prince but today he had been belittled by a weakling like Zach. Of course he was angry and wanted to rip him apart. The only reason he hadn’t done anything was because Kolt had asked him not to.
