Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!

Holt took the treasure chest and his face, which had just been full of bitterness, suddenly lit up with a smile.

When he was about to thank Natalia, he realized the girl who had just beaten him up was already gone from his mansion.

At that moment, a bunch of guards rushed into Holt's room and released their familiars one by one.

"Capture the assassin!"

"Protect the master!"

"Everyone, be on alert!"

Holt looked at these guards he had paid for and felt even more angry.

Where were all of them when Natalia was beating him up just now?

"Stop acting in front of me!" Holt shouted angrily and smashed the door that was on top of him.

Seeing that Holt was really angry, the guards quickly bent over, too scared to say a word, afraid they might get punished.

Holt looked around and saw everyone sweating and not daring to look up. He finally felt satisfied and stood up, then changed into a new set of clothes.

Then, a familiar space rift suddenly opened behind Holt.

In the blink of an eye, all the guards and familiars in the room were beheaded and killed.

At that moment, Holt suddenly remembered that two maids had seen his embarrassing moment and had run out.

So he sent out more than a dozen powerful familiars of different shapes and coldly ordered: "Kill everyone in the mansion except for the direct blood relatives of the Holt family!"

Holt's familiars obeyed and left one by one.

Soon, the mansion was filled with terrible screams.

At that moment, Holt's son, Holly, rushed into the room. Seeing that Holt was fine, he quickly grabbed his father's hand and said: "Dad, why did you kill Pelosi? She's your daughter-in-law!"

Holt glared at Holly fiercely, and the boy immediately fell to his knees. "Idiot! Remember this—Holt family was just attacked by a bunch of assassins! We suffered heavy losses, got it?"

Holly, hearing this, trembled and nodded slowly, muttering: "I see... it was Natalia. I'll blame everything on Natalia..."

Before Holly could finish, Holt kicked him hard and sent him flying.

Then, Holt quickly rushed to Holly's side, grabbed him by the neck with one hand, and lifted him into the air: "You little brat! Natalia never came to our house. Today, no one came to the Holt mansion except for the council and some unknown assassins! Do you understand? If you dare to tell anyone that Natalia was here, don't blame me for being harsh with you!"

After saying that, Holt slapped Holly hard and then dropped him to the ground.

Still not satisfied, he turned back to Holly and warned coldly, "Holly, I love you, so I don't want you to do something stupid and ruin your future. After all, I have more than one kid. Got it?"

...

At a small breakfast shop called Snow Dragon.

Natalia and Logan were enjoying potato pancakes and fried fish.

Even though they hadn't slept all night, both of them still looked excited.

"You said we'd act secretly, but you just walked in and robbed the place like it was open for business," Logan said, handing Natalia a bottle of ketchup and teasing her for being reckless.

"Please, even if Holt had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare say what just happened." Natalia didn't care at all, and just poured the whole bottle of ketchup into her mouth.

Logan stared at her in shock.

Only when Natalia finished the whole bottle did he finally let out a big breath and gave her a thumbs-up: "You're buying breakfast today!"

Natalia burped and then rolled her eyes at Logan. "Don't complain. That's just a little side effect after I became a demon."

"Side effect?" Logan raised his eyebrows, clearly curious.

Seeing Logan's annoying expression, Natalia leaned forward and whispered into his ear, then licked his ear with her tongue. "I used to drink blood. But I quit and started drinking ketchup instead."

When he heard the answer, Logan was so shocked that he almost forgot Natalia was teasing him.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his neck, snapping him back to reality.

"Ouch!"

Logan instinctively stepped back and touched his neck, finding a red mark swelling there.

Looking at Natalia, she was now glaring at him with her red eyes, slowly retracting her fangs. "Scared yet?"

Logan looked at her and rolled his eyes. "You're so childish."

Hearing the word "childish," Natalia didn't get angry at all. Instead, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she smiled sweetly. "Don't be mad. I'll buy the meal!"

After finishing their breakfast, the two returned to the hotel.

As soon as Logan opened the door, he felt a sudden space distortion around him.

Then, Klein appeared in front of him, his hair all messy and oily.

"Any progress?" Logan asked, smirking as he saw Klein looked exhausted. He tossed a bunch of [Divine Fruits] he had collected last night to Klein. "Here, these are samples from last night. Take them and study them."

Klein was surprised by Logan's generosity. He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "This one alone can make an A-level familiar. Why are you so generous? You don't want to use it yourself?"

Logan laughed and shook his head. "You don't use it either, do you? There's something wrong with it. I trust my gut, so I'm not using it."

Klein sighed after hearing that. "You know, strong people's instincts are usually really accurate. Just take a look."

Then, he handed a pile of reports to Logan. "So far, we've found that this thing can activate a familiar's talent and help it unlock skills. But it also seems to have the ability to read and transmit life information."

Logan took the report and read through it carefully. The more he read, the tighter his brows became. "So you're saying this thing records and sends out the talent and skills a familiar gains after awakening?"

Klein nodded and sighed. "Exactly. But I don't know when it starts sending the information, or where it's going."

Without any more words, Klein picked up the [Divine Fruit] from the ground and went back to his familiar space.

Logan held the report tightly in his hand and sighed. "Where else could it go? Since it was sent by Alex, it's probably going to the Morgan family."

After that, Logan slept all day.

It wasn't until night fell again that he put on a black outfit and left.

Meanwhile, Natalia continued to pretend to be Logan, covering for him.

Unlike other families that lived in the city, the Morgan family's mansion was located outside of Snow Dragon, on its own private land.

Logan flew on his horned hawk, Red Feather, and it took him thirty minutes to reach his destination — the castle in the center of the Valley of Sorrow.

"Wow, this is really impressive," Logan said, looking at the huge castle that looked as big as a town. "No wonder they're one of the oldest families, older than the Human Federation itself."

"Spirit Body!"

With that, Logan became completely transparent, like a ghost, and floated into the Morgan castle.

The guards inside were extremely strict. They were just as well-trained as the most elite forces in the Federation.

Logan floated through the air, but for ten whole minutes, he couldn't find a single guard alone.

Just as he passed through the castle walls and was about to go inside, a sudden scream caught his attention.

Logan followed the sound and saw a familiar tamer lying dead on a cross, in a very terrible condition.

In front of the body, Alex was sitting with his eyes closed, looking calm and satisfied, as if he were meditating.

When Logan saw this, his brows immediately knitted together.

Through his soul power, he could clearly feel something changing inside Alex. This change was making Alex's energy rise.

Then, Alex turned his head and looked at another cross.

At that moment, a short-haired woman was tied to the cross, her eyes empty and lifeless.

Alex stood up and slowly walked toward her. He lifted her chin with one hand and threatened: "What a beautiful face. It's a shame to see it die. If you give up your familiar space, I'll let you live."

When the woman heard Alex's threat, her eyes turned red instantly. She shouted angrily, "You devil! You're not human!"

Hearing that, Alex's expression turned fierce. "Not human? Haha, thanks for the compliment!"

As Alex finished speaking, he quickly ran his hands across the woman's neck.

With her head rolling to the ground, her familiar space began to collapse, revealing a series of space cracks.

Alex quickly reached into the cracks and pulled out a familiar — a [Blast-Scale Dragon].

Then, to Logan's shock, Alex didn't even summon the familiar. Instead, he used his bare hands to crush the dragon's skull.

Seeing this, Logan's pupils trembled.

As the Blast-Scale Dragon died, Logan felt another change inside Alex, as if some kind of power was awakening inside him.

Alex still looked calm, as if he were meditating.

Only when the power inside him calmed down did he slowly open his eyes. "In a few days, I'll be the next Saint-level strength in the Human Federation!"

Hearing those words, Logan immediately understood Alex's plan.

This guy is using the power of the [Divine Fruit] Exploitation Familiar.

He wants to use their talents, skills, and stats to force himself into the Saint stage.

After realizing this, Logan's expression turned dark.

As he had just seen, the key to activating the [Exploitation] effect was probably to sacrifice the familiar tamer's familiar space, and kill the familiar that ate the "Divine Fruit."
