My Supernatural Girlfriends Spoils Me Rotten - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Perks
When everything settled down, he helped her to her feet as her father walked toward them.

“I still can’t believe you’re the same person I saw before,” Lucian said, still in disbelief.

It was hard to believe that a human could grow this powerful in such a short time. Even by supernatural standards, it was like a miracle.

“Do you still remember me?” Lucian asked, noticing the awkward silence.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t really recall much,” Asher responded curtly.

“That’s understandable.” Lucian nodded, recalling that Asher had been on the brink of death when they met. It wasn’t surprising that he had no memory of it.

A moment of silence passed between the two men. Neither knew how to continue the conversation, or whether he should call Lucian “father.”

“So, what’s next?” Asher asked, redirecting the topic.

Figuring out demon politics wasn’t his main concern. What worried him more was the ripple effect his actions would cause.

The Morningstar family would undoubtedly face consequences.

If it were just him, he’d leave right away to track down Deuz, but walking away and leaving Lucy behind too soon felt wrong.

Of course, bringing her along was also an option, but he didn’t really know what awaited him against that supercomputer. Taking her with him would be too risky.

Deuz was a technological mystery, which meant diving into unknown territory if a fight broke out.

Asher refocused on the present and noticed Lucian hesitating. He glanced at his daughter, not wanting to speak until he had her permission.

“Go on, Father. You can talk,” she nodded.

He let out a low sigh before turning back to Asher.

“The demon clans won’t stay quiet after what happened here. Some will see you as a threat, others as an opportunity.” His expression darkened. “Either way, they will come for you and us.”

“I see. So, we need a new place to think about our next move. The city is destroyed—do you have anywhere else?”

Lucian shook his head. “No. We rebuilt this city after we were chased out of the demon world. It’s the only one we have.”

Asher’s eyes narrowed. “Is that why you invaded the human world?”

“Invaded?” Lucian looked genuinely confused. “I think there’s a misunderstanding. We never invaded the human world. One day, portals just started appearing, connecting it to the demon world. We only came here to settle.”

This revelation deepened Asher’s confusion. “Then what about the other human cities getting destroyed?”

Lucian exhaled slowly, pressing a hand to his temple.

“This was not of our doing either. The animals began to mutate without warning, growing violent and indiscriminate in their attacks. Humans, demons—it made no difference. As for this city, we merely salvaged its remains. It was Lucy who refused to let it be lost to time—she insisted it be rebuilt.”

He paused for a moment. “For the other families…. I can’t speak on their behalf. But there weren’t many demon cities here to begin with—the human world is simply too small.”

As Asher processed the information, he frowned because of the inconsistencies.

The reports humans received were clearly flawed, assuming demons and beasts were working together. But that still didn’t explain why demons were being vilified so intentionally.

“Asher,” Lucy’s voice broke through his thoughts. “You don’t really need to do anything. You’re not obligated to help us.”

The others couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

To them, she was wasting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why wouldn’t she take advantage of having an overpowered boyfriend who could change everything for them?

Even so, no one dared to question her. It wasn’t their place to speak against her decision. All they could do was wait and hope for the best.

“Is that really your wish?” He turned to face her.

“I don’t want you to take that risk. The other Demon Kings stayed out of it this time, but if this escalates, you could end up facing the entire royal family. I can’t lose you again”

Asher smiled softly, finding her words cute. He hadn’t shown her his dragon form yet, so it made sense that she was afraid for his well-being.

But there was really nothing to fear. If he put his mind to it, he could build his own sorcerer tower.

At that point, even without his dragon form, the Demon Kings would sacrifice a lot just to break through his defenses.

This was the the terrifying aspect of being sorcerer—his power could scale depending on how much preparation time he has.

Unable to control himself, he pulled her into another hug.

“Don’t worry about me,” he murmured. “I’m much stronger than you think.”

She stiffened, staring at him in disbelief. The Asher she remembered was more humble and down to earth.

A pang of sadness crept in—how much had he changed while they were apart?

She pushed the thoughts aside. Maybe she was just being selfish. It was only natural for him to change, to grow more confident after gaining such power.

Lucy had no idea what he went through to become this strong, so she had no right to ask for the person he used to be.

“Tell me… what do you really want? Whatever it is, I’ll support you.”

She looked at him, then at her family. It would be a lie to say she didn’t care about what would happen to the Morningstar.

Their name, legacy, and wealth were stripped away, leaving them desperate for protection from people like Zagan.

The other royal families also conspired against them, and in the end, they were forced out of the demon world.

“Is it really okay for me to demand anything?” She looked up, searching his eyes.

“Of course.” He gently squeezed her hand.

She paused, taking a deep breath before forcing herself to speak. “I want us to get our status back, but if it’s too much for you, don’t push yourself.”

Her family members were thrilled to hear this and anxiously waited for his response.

“I’ll make that happen.” He kissed her forehead gently, his lips lingering for a moment to reassure her that his words were more than just empty promises.
