Reborn As A Tyrannical Demon Lord
Chapter 171: Offer From The Manipulator
In the middle of the night, Endelyn did not even intend to leave a single item related to her identity or Aiden. They left, left the old house forever. Although Aiden can only use the forbidden magical power of a ring, his heart is slightly moved when he fulfills his desire for revenge.
And the thing that's getting worse is his life that's starting to feel unsettled. One by one the problems come with the next one worse. Tonight, Aiden is not working. But he came when his workplace was closed. The only person he saw was Dareen.
As Dareen was in an empty mind, she was seen sweeping the floor and cleaning up some of the dirt on the dining table. Aiden who came then surprised him with slow footsteps that resulted in Dareen's vigilance back as before.
"Who?!?!!. ... Who is there?!" Said Dareen while directing his broom to the door with the position of the horses that were really alert.
Aiden then continued his steps from outside the coffee shop where the lights went out. After entering, his face was finally seen and a moment made Dareen come back relieved.
"You look so tired, Dareen."
"I'm just trying to do my job as best I can, after all ... why don't we work today?"
"I have a little bit of family business, so I didn't come today."
"Then, what are you going to do now?"
"Nothing, just trying to relax while looking at my coworkers."
"Hmmm, so is it."
Dareen approached Aiden to rest for a while and sat down beside him. But Dareen immediately moved away with a shocked facial expression as she looked at Aiden who casually opened his black fur jacket.
"Wait around! Don't move!"
Aiden: "?"
"Aiden, what is it? Your neck!!"
Aiden then realized that he had unwittingly unfolded the jacket and hairy collar that covered his neck as usual, as he felt sultry wearing the jacket constantly. However, he had forgotten about the current situation, and still maintained his calm demeanor.
"No way ... This ... is a lie, right? Aiden's? The mark on the neck."
"I'm sorry if I accidentally open my jacket with Dareen."
"So that's why you keep working here wearing a scarf?! What are you doing?!"
"I really don't want anyone to know about a person like me, you probably know the bad news of a serial killer, don't you?"
"No, how could it?? Aidens!! What have you been doing all this time? You ... I never thought!"
"Just calm down, Dareen, I'll be fine, and so will you."
"Then?"
Aiden then glanced back at Dareen's frightened face with his actual legs trembling but tried to stay upright. Meanwhile, he was still relaxed by holding his foot while lighting his cigarette.
"Dareen, I won't answer more if you keep asking in such conditions, sit quietly and try to be quiet." Invite Aiden to sit quietly to listen.
Dareen then headed to the kitchen to pick up a sharp knife from the cupboard, holding it in her right hand while sitting in front of Aiden.
"Kiss?"
"Yes! It's just in case an assassin like you attacks me."
"Sadly, you thought you were able to attack me easily using that?" Aiden asked with a relaxed expression full of disdain.
Dareen remained silent with the knife in hand in a trembling state.
"I have an idea, actually it hasn't been too long since I came up with this idea, but I think that you might be the right person to work with me."
"If it's an idea and cooperation for murder, then I'll refuse."
"You haven't even listened to what my ideas and offers look like, but you're trying to resist."
"Then what kind of idea are you going to have?" Dareen asked more seriously.
Aiden then says first about something unexpected, telling Dareen that Dareen can be honest with him that he has feelings for his own boss. Dareen was surprised, somehow Aiden could guess such a thing, but this was not an important thing for him. However, Aiden is able to know a person's feelings or thoughts from their gestures.
"Dareen .. I hope you don't mind my idea, then I explain it again immediately."
"B-well .. that's okay. Continue." Dareen.
"I'll continue with some questions."
Aiden then says two questions at once with a slight pause.
The first.
Since when do you have feelings for Jillian?
The second.
What kind of thing makes you attractive to a woman like that?
"Hurry and answer so I can say my next plan." Aiden said as if he were interrogating Dareen.
Dareen then answered both, although it took a little time to speak. The answer to the first, Dareen as an employee at this coffee bar has liked Jillian or her own boss for a long time. And the second answer, Dareen said that he was interested in short-haired women along the neck with a smart mindset.
Aiden then receives an answer from Dareen, but there are additional questions Dareen must answer. The question was about what, or whatever, made Dareen upset with Jillian. Although Dareen was keen to answer, but he tried to speak honestly about the unpleasant feelings that continue to be stored in his heart so far. Aiden continued to persuade and persuade him to speak.
"I may not want to tell anyone this, but just so you know. I'm so sick of sometimes thinking about why it's so hard to get too close to me." Said Dareen with an annoyed expression.
Dareen's point is that he is like a negative pole on a magnet, and Jillian is a positive pole, both of which can be attached, but at the end of the journey, Jillian is a positive pole, Jillian will always change as if to be a negative pole as well so they will be something of the opposite.
Although Dareen has been a person who is so familiar with Jillian for a long time, Jillian will still assume that their relationship is all even just bosses and employees. He didn't really think that Dareen could be made a friend.
Therefore Dareen was upset when she was so difficult to get closer to Jillian, let alone to express her feelings. After saying that to Aiden, with his leisure while smoking a cigarette, Aiden told Dareen with the phrase "Be aware of your position" and in the second sentence, he said again "your position is only as an employee, as an employee, he is a boss."
That further explains that in terms of economy, Dareen has lost far to Jillian, his status as a man as seen unable to finance women with higher income than him. It is likely that Jillian is more interested in men who are much richer, handsome, and so on. While Dareen was just an ordinary employee at Jillian's coffee bar, his salary was paid by Jillian, and about the physical, Dareen only met the standards of men's faces in general who were not too handsome.
"But .. I can help you Dareen, make all your wishes come true." Said Aiden with a glance so dim full manipulative.
Dareen pursed her lips slightly, "You? How do you help? ... In what way?"
Aiden who felt slighted then replied by wrinkling his forehead with a slanted smile.
"You underestimated me too much, you know, right? The serial murders I've been doing all this time keep getting hot news and incessant rushes. Even the police around this town can't find my whereabouts."
"Other than just helping someone in the relationship, tch ... Dareen, it's too easy for me."
Aiden's goal is not to help Dareen's love affair with Jillian, but rather another goal to achieve great results from the dark magic ritual for Razel.
