Supreme Warlock System : From Zero to Ultimate With My Wives-Chapter 239: Can You Not be Vulgar For Once?

Warlock Ch 239. Can You Not be Vulgar For Once?

He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. The memories were still fragmented, still incomplete, but this was a start. A piece of the puzzle he hadn't known he was missing.

"Guess that explains why the artifact feels so familiar," he muttered, glancing down at his hands. "It's literally a part of me."

The sigils on his skin glowed faintly in response. The Demon King's soul was still inside him, still a threat. But now, at least, he had a better understanding of what he was dealing with.

He turned back toward the crystal, his expression hardening. "You really thought I'd break, huh?" he said, as if speaking directly to the Demon King's soul. "You thought you could push me far enough that I'd lose control."

There was no response—no voice in his head this time. Just silence.

Damian smirked. "Guess what? I'm still standing."

With that, he turned and began walking toward the exit. There was still a lot he didn't know, a lot he needed to figure out. But for now, he had enough.

And for the first time in a long while, he didn't feel like he was running from his past.

He was ready to face it. One piece at a time.

"Damian…"

A familiar voice called his name, soft yet sharp enough to pull him out of his thoughts. Damian blinked, his eyes fluttering open to find himself back in his room. He squinted slightly, still adjusting to the light filtering through the window. Standing beside his bed were Evelyn and Cassius, already packed and ready to go. Evelyn's arms were crossed, a slight frown tugging at her lips, while Cassius, with his usual impatience, looked less amused.

"You've got some nerve, huh?" Cassius said, raising an eyebrow. "You're just lying here, all relaxed? Didn't we agree to leave by noon? Newsflash—it's already noon."

Damian sat up slowly, stretching his arms and letting out a long breath. His mind still felt heavy with everything he'd just learned. He glanced at the packed bags Cassius was carrying and the way Evelyn's eyes darted between him and the door, clearly expecting him to get up and join them.

But instead of moving, Damian leaned back on his hands, his expression calm—too calm, considering how Cassius was glaring at him like a parent about to scold a rebellious teenager.

"We're not going anywhere," Damian said casually.

Cassius frowned, his irritation turning into confusion. "Wait, what?"

Damian straightened up, locking eyes with Cassius. "We're staying. There's a celebration tonight, and we're attending it."

Cassius stared at him for a moment, clearly trying to process what he'd just heard. Then he snorted, crossing his arms over his chest. "Let me guess—Victoria gave you another blow job, and now you're all eager to stick around?"

Damian rolled his eyes, though a faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "No, Cas. It's not like that."

Cassius gave him a skeptical look. "Oh really? Because that's the only explanation that makes sense. You were ready to bolt this morning, and now, suddenly, you're all in for a fancy celebration?"

Before Damian could respond, Evelyn sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Cassius, can you not be vulgar for once? Maybe, just maybe, there's a real reason behind his change of heart."

Cassius shrugged, clearly unbothered. "Fine. Let's hear it, then."

Damian leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. His expression grew serious, the playful tone fading from his voice. "Another part of my memory came back."

That caught both of their attention. Cassius's smirk disappeared, replaced by genuine curiosity, while Evelyn tilted her head slightly, waiting for him to continue.

Damian took a deep breath, organizing his thoughts before speaking. "It was me. I'm the one who wanted Victoria to take me in. Back when I was Kaelan, I saved her, and she owed me. I made her promise to protect me if things ever went south."

Evelyn's eyes widened slightly. "Wait… what? You asked her to protect you?"

"Yeah," Damian said, nodding. "It wasn't just some random bond or a convenient alliance. It was a deal—one I forced her to make. Back then, I knew the Demon King's power was becoming too much to handle. I knew the senators and the rest of the magic community would turn on me eventually. So, I knew I had to do something and made Victoria promise that if things went bad, she'd protect me in return for what I did for her."

Cassius frowned, still trying to wrap his head around it. "So… that's why she's been so obsessed with you?"

"Pretty much," Damian said. "She owes me her life. And now, she's trying to fulfill that promise in a way that doesn't raise suspicion."

Evelyn crossed her arms, her brow furrowed in thought. "And this mission? Offering it to us… was that part of her plan?"

Damian nodded again. "Exactly. By giving us this mission, she gave herself a reason to publicly acknowledge us as heroes of her race. Now, when she offers us her protection, it'll look like a reward for our service, not some hidden debt she's trying to repay."

Cassius let out a low whistle, clearly impressed. "Damn. That's… actually smart. She gets to keep her promise without anyone questioning her motives."

"Right," Damian said, leaning back against the wall. "It's a win-win. We get her protection, and she gets to fulfill her end of the deal without drawing too much attention from the senators."

Evelyn still looked skeptical, though. "But… Why didn't she just tell you all of this? Wouldn't it have been easier to explain everything upfront instead of keeping you in the dark?"

"Probably," Damian admitted. "But Victoria's always been like that. She plays things close to the chest. And honestly, she probably didn't think I'd believe her until I started remembering things on my own."

Cassius snorted. "Typical. She likes to keep everyone guessing, huh?"

"Exactly," Damian said with a smirk. "But now that I know what's going on, it changes things. This isn't just some random celebration—it's her way of setting the stage for what comes next."
