Chapter 271: Demon's Wrath
Even Lilith was wary of fighting against the Chamber of Commerce because they controlled the government. Engaging them meant taking on the entire human race.
"So?" Reign asked. "I don't care if it's the number one company in the world. That place will be destroyed today," he declared, his wings expanding from his back.
He was ready to take off, fly directly through whatever skyscraper they were holding her in, and destroy everything that dared to stop him.
"Wait Master!, please think this through! Everything will be messed up if you just go there. Miss Lilith's plan would be ruined too. I can call our people, and we can save her without causing too much commotion."
"Fuck Lilith. I'll kill her too if she dares to stop me," Reign growled.
He felt like he was wasting time here, and he began to imagine what could happen to her. He didn't know why, but just thinking about it grated on his nerves.
'If they dared touched her...' he thought, sparks of electricity beginning to dance aggressively around his body again.
"Reign, let's just save her without making a commotion. You can pretend to be a mercenary and infiltrate the place. You don't have to reveal your full power," George interjected. He also didn't want to escalate the situation.
"That's right Master!, we can give you a full combat suit to hide your identity, and then you can just go attack the place. I'll call my people to prepare everything," Richard added.
This was a far better option than him rampaging through the city like a flying weapon of mass destruction.
If that happened, the city would become the center of attention for multiple powerhouses, making it harder for Lilith to find the key with so many additional eyes on them.
In the worst-case scenario, they might discover her organization and launch a hunt.
That wasn't the only issue; it would also be dangerous for Reign, no matter how strong he was.
A demon lord of his caliber flying around the city, would invite all the hidden powerhouse to attack him.
And because this was a Tier 3 city, reinforcements from higher-tier cities would also flood in an hour or two.
The resulting chaos would be catastrophic, drawing attention from far and wide.
"Stop wasting time and prepare everything then!" Reign ordered while retracting his wings.
Hearing this, everyone nodded and didn't waste any time. Even Melissa did not ask about Richard's identity or Lilith's organization; Cyril's life was more important.
And the longer they waited, the more her life would be in danger.
Melissa already had an idea why she had been abducted—the curse of being a generational beauty in a world filled with greedy and perverted bastards.

VROOOOOM!
An armored Humvee thundered down the street, its engine roaring as it sped toward the Region 2 gates.
Cyril had informed Melissa about the emergency tracking chip implanted in her body. From this, she deduced that her friend was taken in the Tier 2 Region.
"Stop!" dozens of guard patrols shouted, their hands gesturing urgently as they recognized the unauthorized approach.
Accessing Region 2 required a meticulously verified permit, but the armored humvee showed no signs of slowing down.
"Shoot them! Shoot them!" The command echoed across the checkpoint as guards hastily shouldered their rifles and opened fire, the sharp cracks of gunfire piercing the air.
RATAAAT-RAATATTTT !
RATAAAT-RAATATTTT !
RATAAAT-RAATATTTT !
Bullets whizzed past the speeding Humvee, but its armor held on. The guards, desperate to stop it, reached for a rocket launcher.
But before they could even prepare it, their chests were pierced by small projectiles, killing them instantly.
"EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY SAFETY PROTOCOL ACTIVATED!" blared the loudspeakers.
Suddenly, the walls within the gate hissed and swung open, revealing 15 mechanical robots. Each stood 10 feet tall and was armed with advanced weaponry.
The robots had a sleek, futuristic design with a combination of dark grey and orange hues.
Their bodies were heavily armored, providing robust protection against attacks.
Intricate circuitry and glowing lines of energy crisscrossed their exoskeletons, giving them a high-tech appearance.
Their heads were fitted with multiple sensors and cameras, allowing for a 360-degree view of their surroundings.
One of their arms was equipped with a large, saw-like weapon, designed for close combat and capable of slicing through almost anything.
The other arm featured a powerful, Rocket Launcher-based weapon, ready to unleash devastating blasts at any threat.
Their four legs were sturdy and reinforced, designed to support their massive frames and provide stability even during intense combat.
Advanced joints and servos also allowed for fluid motion.
They all lined up, forcing the Humvee to screech to a stop.
From inside, a figure jumped out, clad in a full advanced power suit.
The armor gleamed under the harsh sunlight, a striking blend of sleek white and jet black.
The helmet, with its reflective visor, concealed the face completely, adding an air of mystery and intimidation.
As the figure moved, the segmented plates of the suit shifted seamlessly, revealing the sophisticated engineering beneath the surface.
The chest plate was broad and solid, designed to withstand powerful impacts.
Black panels crisscrossed the torso, highlighting the reinforced areas and adding to the suit's futuristic aesthetic.
The figure wielded two short blades made of black material, one at each end of his hands, ready to fight.
"Will he be okay without using his demonic power?" Mellisa asked as they watched Reign.
The robots looked pretty advanced and powerful.
"I don't know. Even I would struggle to deal with 5 those things, even if I used my full power," Richard admitted.
Those things were really durable to the point that they could even contend with a High Demon, especially if they coordinated their attacks.
"It's starting!" Melissa exclaimed as the robots dashed forward, armed with what looked like saw blades, to confront Reign.
The trio waited inside the vehicle, anticipating a hard fight.
When the first robot swung its weapon downward, Reign sidestepped effortlessly.
But it wasn't over yet. Electric shocks burst from its weapon, attempting to stun him.
"Cute," Reign commented. "They actually think an oversized taser would work on me?"
Before the robot could retract its weapon, Reign launched into action. With a casual leap, he sliced through its neck using nothing but his raw physical prowess.
THUD!
One robot went down, and the remaining fourteen decided to attack Reign using rocket launchers.
But before the cannons could fire, Reign countered by flicking coins into their barrels, causing all their guns to jam, with some even exploding.
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
The blasts echoed loudly, shaking the ground with their force.
"I don't have time to waste on tin cans ," he muttered, shaking his head.
SWOOOSH!
In the blink of an eye, he blurred into motion, his movements so fast they made him appear like a blur, powered by pure agility alone.
