Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
45. The Demon Prince of Greed

At a lively and luxurious dance party, Novan or more precisely known as the Duke of Askara Akasa seemed to stand among the crowd of nobles, people always came to him and chatted for a moment with him, he said, it was as if they were racing to attract the attention of a puppy.

'Eats..'

Novan thanks for his fifth round of memories, now he feels used to the situation. With a smile he continued to answer and greet all the visitors. Tonight is the night to celebrate Askara's appointment as the new Duke of Akasa and Candra.

All of the Novan brothers seemed to be spreading out all over to greet the guests, just as Novan they were also actually feeling tired and fed up with the situation. Novan smiled for a moment when he saw the faces of Rian and Nikolai who both put on a tired look for a while before then they saw Novan and smiled as if giving their code was fine.

The dance is about to begin and Novan walks towards the bench he has prepared for him, as if to say he will not dance for the night. But then his eyes were fixed on a blond woman with emerald green eyes.

He smiled and then walked up to the woman "may I dance another one with you lady?" The two looked at each other for a moment and whispers began to be heard from the audience. The woman smiled and accepted Novan's hand.

Like a pair of people who were met by fate both of them danced under the lights of ornamental lights, amazed and curious looks were seen from all over. But when the show had arrived in the middle of the music, the woman opened her mouth "what do you really want?" Her graceful eyes exuded a powerful aura of intimidation.

Novan smiled and replied "do you think? What do I want?" The two continued to dance gracefully without arousing any suspicion at all.

"Stop pretending Novan, I know you're testing me" Novan smiled and then with a happy grin he looked at the woman with a slight amused laugh.

"I thought you remembered me, Kinan"

Novan knew the woman, Kinan Samodra. The youngest daughter of the prime minister of the kingdom and also the younger sister of the future Duke of Samodra as well as a former childhood friend of Novan. The Samodra family was the most influential family in the kingdom. They are emblematic of the rule and impartiality of the laws of this kingdom, they are not controlled or restricted by the law because they are the ones who create the law.

"So what really happened?" Hearing the question, Novan laughed amusedly, he knew Kinan was indeed a quick-witted woman. No need to explain nor does Novan know how much he digs information about himself.

"It's hard to explain, but I need your help. Let's just say I asked you to pay your debt back because I was your only childhood friend"

"Am I not your only friend?" Kinan furrowed his brows not understanding.

"Who said?"

"Here you go, it's hard to talk to a genius"

"Haha I accept that as flattery.."

The two continued to dance and hold hands like a matching couple. "So what do you want? I can't change a royal law for you, because I'm not the head of the family" hearing that Novan then smiled and shook his head.

"Changing the law is interesting but why change it if you just don't have to obey it? Anyway I have a high position.What I want from you is not something difficult"

"And what is it?"

Novan grinned happily and when the music stopped a sign that the dance had finished, Novan lowered his body and right beside Kinan's ear he whispered.

"Give me a lot of money"

Kinan raised his eyebrows in surprise he wanted to ask what Novan meant but Novan then gave the code with his index finger attached to his lips as he said 'you don't have to know what the money is for, just have to prepare according to my wishes'.

"Anu. Novan's sister.."

Two days had passed and an enormous amount of money was suddenly sent to the Akasa residence. Each other Nikolai can ensure that the money is equivalent to 50% of the income of the Candra family every month.

"Where did all this money come from..?" Nikolai stared at the piece of document with zeros lined up a lot. Novan throws a gold coin and with a relaxed face he answers Nikolai's question.

"From my childhood friend"

Nikolai looked up and looked at Novan with a look of disbelief "brother? With such an attitude" the gold coin was instantly thrown and Nikolai quickly held the coin down before it hit his head.

"Sometimes I'm confused about where my innocent sister went and just knew how to count coins in the past.."

"I'm an adult, it's only natural that my attitude changes"

Novan looked at Nikolai and smiled "basically the human never changes, although they will experience a lot of progress or setbacks in themselves" Novan crossed his arms and then smiled "it seems like you are so because you look like me.." When Nikolai heard that he immediately fell silent, confused to respond to what even in his own heart he wondered in fact the attitude of Novan was more like their late mother or father.

"Do you want all this money?" Nikolai eventually tried to divert the conversation.

"Buying one's self-esteem" Novan smiled and with eyes that emitted a red glow he gazed towards the burning fireplace.

"You don't have to ask who and what I mean, just look at every corner of the city - not but every corner of this kingdom. Report to me if there's anything interesting.."

"You hear me? Fobetor?"

.

On top of a tower Fobetor seemed to stand still and nod "sorry but it seems that something dancing has just happened, my Lord" before smilingly jumping down and turning into a bat. In a building with its windows open he appeared to be darting in and on the stairs in a dark room he saw the door of an open room.

"If it's not wrong the humans call this place a bank right? What's in here until the guy gets here, oh that's him, Kanz" Fobetor's red eyes stare at a young man who appears to come out of the room. And in his hand a ring of shining yellow jewels, from that ring Fobetor could feel a very strong aura of sin.

"The cursed thing"

Fobetor was about to approach Kanz and a hand suddenly stopped him and Novan seemed to be behind him. "Don't. Still not the time." said Novan smiling to see Kanz grinning towards his ring.

"Good, with this thing I can store as much gold as I want. It's really very practical.." The light in the ring grew louder and the sound of laughter was then heard from behind the darkness.

"I've guessed you're the greediest man in this place. Very interesting.." a blonde-haired young man with red eyes looked at Kanz with a pleased and satisfied look. "What a very strong greed, you will be the perfect right hand"

Novan smiled at the conversation between the two, from behind his suit he pulled out a mask as if preparing to do something.

"Who are you. You better go and don't interfere with my business" Kanz pointed his gun at the young man but the blond-haired young man smiled and a golden sand wrapped around Kanz's body firmly.

"It's a proud man, but it's okay because your pride can be bought." Kanz's eyes stared at the golden sand wrapped around him.

"I-this..gold?!"

The young man smiled from his face as if he was satisfied with the human reaction in front of him and then with a pleased look he continued his sentence "right, the most precious thing in this world.. aren't you interested in this sand? I can give it to you. I'm Mammon, one of the seven demon princes wants to offer you something.

"Sell that soul to me"
