However, no matter what foolishness his son did or what crime he committed, he is still his son. As a father, he is willing to grant his son\'s wishes and protect him whatever it takes, even if it means rocking him down.

"Wei\'er?!".

For the first time ever since Jiang Wei turned into a demon and lost his reasoning, he gave a slight response after Jiang Ling called his name.

Jiang Wei, a gaze who kept looking at an empty space, turned to the source despite the fact that his gaze was still empty. No emotion, no feeling could be heard. He probably reacted because some part of his heart still retained it.

"He responded".

Roland\'s disbelief covered his entire face upon looking at the situation that unfolded.

"...".

Even Viana, who rarely shows her expression during this kind of affair, felt dumbfounded about the discovery.

Soma, who stood behind, looked at the event with a calm gaze, inviting curiosity from the assistant guy who kept his closed eyes on him.

"Wei\'er can you recognized me?".

Jiang Ling once more tried to call his son\'s name, and true like earlier, Jiang Wei slightly responded by parting his lips, showing its rigged teeth like sharks.

However, the moment he tried to move, a clunking sound reverberated, and multiple magic circles shone inside the jail, further restraining Jiang Wei.

Looking at the chain that restrained his son, Jiang Ling\'s cheeks twitched as a boiling rage creeped out of his heart. But, he inhaled deeply, reminding himself that he had come here to see his son\'s condition and tried to talk with Roland and the kid who defeated him.

"Okay, how much do you want?".

Jiang Ling\'s clear and composed tone reverberated inside the closed space, incurring the gazes of the people with him.

"Excuse me?".

However, the one who answered his question was not Roland or Viana; instead, it was Soma who kept his mouth shut since earlier.

Now, everyone turned to him and was surprised to see Soma standing tall, with his gaze held high, undeterred even under the pressure the Jiang people exerted.

The assistant\'s gaze shrinks into a dangerous state, and he is ready to lunge at him.

Soma calmly exhaled and stored the boots, which shocked Jiang Ling, who recognized the weapon\'s value, at the foolish act Soma had conducted. Was it bravery?

Jiang Ling raised his hand, and it calmed the assistant\'s temper, albeit slightly.

"Kid, I believe we can discuss it in a more civilized way. Look, just say the prize, and we will act like these things never happened, understood?"

"...After buying him what are you going to do?".

"What are you talking about?".

Soma\'s eyes shrink further, seeing the oblivious act Jiang Ling had shown to him. Slowly, he regulated his breathing and activated his extra skill concealed beneath his skin.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

[Drawing devil\'s power into the user\'s body]

No one has realized what Soma had done, and they act by tilting their head to the side.

"Aha, to answer your question boy. We will try to find the best magic user, a cure, or even a doctor to try lifting my son\'s curse".

Those words he said were purely because he still cared about his family members who had been falling into an abyss.

However, Soma himself is not a pushover. He couldn\'t let Jiang Wei get back to his house, wondering if he could escape and endanger many people in the process.

"Can you?".

A chilling tone slipped from Soma\'s lips, raising the tension in the group as Jiang Ling\'s eyes turned sharp. His assistant had also prepared to take out his blade from the storage.

"What do you mean by that?".

Jiang Ling\'s tone had changed, and his sharp eyes glared at the boy, who impressively managed to stay calm in these situations.

"...As far as I know there is no way to cure a person who is already being demonized!".

Now, the tension took a sudden drop when Soma mentioned that term. There is not a single one who was unfamiliar with these terms until Soma spoiled it.

Every adult in the room started to rack their brains and eventually came up with two different things that made them a bit wary and pity the boy in front of them.

"You talk as if you know a lot about these phenomena. How did you know?".

Jiang Ling\'s probing eyes stared dagger at Soma\'s figure.

"...Well, let\'s say I have some history with the Demon side".

For those who are aware of the Red Project, which was terminated years ago, recently they received a rumour that everything had started to spread and that the project had been established once more.

This piece of hidden news had arrived at every important person worldwide, hiding amongst the public\'s eyes.

"Then what are your suggestions, do tell me, boy?".

Jiang Ling asked the boy with enough killing intent that radiated through his body as if he knew Soma\'s answer from the start.

"...Kill him!".

Before everyone could react, Jiang Ling\'s assistant disappeared from his place and reappeared in front of Soma in a blink.

The man brandishes his palm, trying to knock out Soma\'s solar plexus. But something unexpected happens in the man\'s vision.

His eyes met with Soma for the less-than-second time. Both eyes met, shaking him to the core.

Soma lightly stepped to the side toward the outer side of the man\'s stance, grabbed the man\'s wrist, twisted in behind him, and pinned him from behind.

"Kuh!".

The man tries to escape Soma\'s grip, but he is immobilized by the strength Soma possesses.

"Can you please let go of my assistant".

"Soma, release him".

Roland, who seemed oddly satisfied for some reason, made Soma wonder what was exactly what was on his head.

Soma did as Roland had told and pushed away the aman in his hands, which prompted him to incur his wrath further.

"That is enough, come back!".

"Understood, sir".

In a single blink, the assistant guy disappeared and stood behind Jiang Ling while tidying his appearance.

"I am sorry for what my people did to you."

Soma shook his head, telling them that it was okay. Meanwhile, the guy was already out of everyone\'s sight. His brows twitched as he felt a stinging pain tightly grip his right wrist.

Hiding under everyone\'s gaze, he slid his shirt and suit on and saw blue skin underneath, which he hurriedly covered back.

The man exhaled, feeling relief that his secret had been hidden. Without him noticing, Roland\'s eyes lightly peeked under his suspicious act and found something interesting that set his heart ablaze.

Viana, who noticed her husband acting like a child, sighs, clutching her temple for the event that will come in the future.

"Well, it seems we didn\'t make any progress on this topic, so how about we take a break for a moment and let ourselves do the rest as adults?"

Soma\'s piercing gaze was directed toward Roland, and wondering what he had to do in his head.

"You are right. Let\'s take a break. Thank you for your cooperation. Shall we then?"

Jiang Ling took Roland\'s proposal as they began to move out of the place, and all of them left the room.

Soma, still dumbfounded, kept his wariness. But after Vinia\'s warm hand gripped his shoulder, he turned to her and was shocked about what she had to say.

"It\'s okay, Soma. Your participation is truly helping us. Thank you for your cooperation and you should get back to your family".

The grip on his shoulder tightened, and the aura she gave screamed a hidden agenda.

"What does that mean?".

"Here, use this to enter the VIP room!".

Before they left the underground place, Viana gave Soma a gold card with the symbol of the Academy\'s alma mater.

****

Within the commotion that came from the arena in front of him, Soma stood in front of the door leading to the VIP room, where his groups were waiting for him.

Thanks to the card Viana gave him, he has the luxury of staying in the VIP room as he likes. He can also bring as many relatives inside as he likes by keeping the card close.

However, none of that mattered as he was being left behind with a huge question mark on his chest: why did the two of them act suspiciously at the end? His instinct skill gives him no response, which no harm will dawn upon him. But Soma is still curious.

As he pushed the door inside, he found his family group eyes were drawn toward him, and Xiao Rui, who had been anxious ever since Soma had gone with Jiang guy, rushed to his side.

"Xiao Ma, are you okay?".

"Yeah, I am alright".

Xiao Rui scans her nephew\'s condition, checking his pulse and physique in case he is subjected to injustice.

"Soma, you are back?".

Soma glanced at the source, who called him with her usual listless tone, full of deep affection that rang melodiously in his ears, bringing smiles back to his lips.

"Xiao Lian".
