Luck is a Charm

Evie kept staring at the projection screen with Zen fooling around for a few minutes before closing it down.

Afterward, she glanced at Stuart and said, "What is the situation regarding the Scarlet family?"

"Replying to miss, the Scarlet family is under our complete control and they're ready to listen for command at any time," Stuart replied hurriedly, afraid that delaying his answer would displease Evie.

Evie nodded her head slightly as she started twirling her hair to think of the next plan.

'Since Zen wanted to conquer this kingdom then my original plan had to be stopped. Sigh, such a troublesome brat that hasn't changed one bit.' Evie started giggling whenever she recalled the past.

Stuart was frightened by Evie's constant change of attitude and behavior but kept silent the whole time.

Not trying to get caught staring at Evie, Stuart turned his head around and when he saw three women fainted on the ground, he was shocked.

Expression of disbelief occurred in his face as he questioned what Evie did to them.

'I-Isn't that woman the one with an intimate relationship with that brat?' Stuart remembered Angela was cozy with Zen when he was hiding in the auction house.

He was commanded to make sure to memorize everyone related to Zen and it was for that reason that Daphne Camellia and Morgan Pelora were teleported with Angela.

Although he doesn't know why Evie wanted those two women as well, he dare not question her authority.

"Right, what about Daemon Kaiso?" Evie suddenly said when she realized Stuart is overstepping his boundary by thinking so much.

Stuart bangs his head on the floor loudly as he said, "Daemon Kaiso dared to attack you so there's no way we would spare him. Currently, he's locked on the 30th floor."

Daemon Kaiso was in cahoots with them but because he unknowingly offended Evie, his fate was doom, to begin with.

"Hmph, that stinky old man thinks he can threaten me and tries to harm Zen. He even has the confidence to ask for him alive." Evie sneered as she opened another projection screen.

On the screen, Daemon Kaiso was chained up with some demon-like human whipping on him, causing multiple blood splatter across the room.

Evie decided to activate a barrier around the women that fainted before opening the sound for the projection screen.

"P-Please, spare me. I-I did not know what I did wrong to the Demon Lord." Daemon Kaiso begged and pleaded for mercy.

The chain was made with anti-mana formation in it so Daemon Kaiso is no different than an ordinary old man.

If he could still utilize his mana then the whipping process would have been numb to him.

WShh-Psssh

The demon ignored his plea as he whipped another hard slash at Daemon Kaiso's chest, causing him to scream in agony.

"You don't know what you did wrong? Funny, because you dared to mess with a person that even our Demon Lord is afraid of and obedient to her." The demon sneered as he whipped him a few more times to soothe his anger.

For them, Evie's position was even higher than the Demon Lord they're currently serving which is a facade.

A facade used to infiltrate this tiny world and this labyrinth was just the first step toward their conquest.

However, he couldn't believe that someone would be so ignorant to offend Evie, causing her to be displeased and reprimanded them for Daemon Kaiso's action.

"We were so loyal to the miss yet thanks to your dumb and stupid brain, we got yelled and lecture on." The demon roared once again before whipping again.

"AHHHHHHHHHH"

Daemon Kaiso screamed as his flesh was whipped off from the amount of strength he used.

At this rate, he would not only lose his life due to excessive blood loss but because his flesh was peeled off as well.

"I-I'm sorry, please forgive this ignorant old man." Daemon Kaiso has completely lost his arrogant and confident aura. He knew the power behind this demon so there was no chance he could ever win against them.

When the demon heard his tone of pleas, rage filled his eyes even more when he remembered about getting bashed by their Demon Lord for failing their duty.

As he prepared to whip again, Evie's voice transmitted into his brain and the demon stopped his movement.

With a smile hanging on his face, he bowed gracefully as he nodded his head. Daemon Kaiso was confused about his sudden action but he quickly confirmed it must be a mental transmission on someone higher up.

"Hmph, you're lucky that our miss decided to give you a chance of redemption." The demon said as he walked closer to Daemon Kaiso.

Daemon Kaiso's face brightened up when he knew he still had a chance of survival and getting out of here alive.

Afterward, the demon whispers something secretly into his ear, causing Daemon Kaiso to hold a disbelief expression.

Meanwhile, Evie stopped looking at the disgusting Daemon Kaiso and ordered Stuart something.

"I have some plans with these women so make sure the plan proceeds as usual but do not interfere with his action no matter what. Let him do as he pleases as I will continue to train these women to be qualified."

Stuart nodded and vanished from his position to finish his task quickly.

'Sigh, planning everything is truly tiresome.' Evie sighed in a tired manner as she walked over to the women, who were unconscious.

"This world is truly pathetic when they can't even handle the first floor of a labyrinth that is common in the higher world," Evie said softly as she snapped her finger.

A flow of pure mana enters into the three women as they slowly wake up after some time.

Morgan Pelora was the first to awake, followed by Daphne Camellia and Angela.

They were confused at first but remember what happened to their condition shortly after.

"You guys have enough rest so it's time to go to the 2nd floor," Evie said and turned her back to walk toward the stairs.

The women nodded their heads as they stood up before following Evie from behind.
