Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Surprise, Thanks from Vespera and the Others

When she heard Vespera's words, Aiden looked back at the body of the Flame Demon Oslu not far away. 

Run? 

Hadn't the Flame Demon Oslu already been taken care of? 

Could it be... 

In the next moment, the darkness in the distance suddenly lit up with a bright red light. An invisible wave of force rushed toward them, filled with pressure that made their hearts stop. 

"There's another boss?" Aiden's pupils quickly widened, and his expression turned serious. 

Vespera quickly stood up, helping Vivi, and said quickly: 

"This is the territory of the Demon Duke Ethan. The Flame Demon Oslu was just his servant. We have to leave quickly if we want to get back!" 

Demon Duke! 

Aiden took a deep breath. The Flame Demon Oslu was level 40, and he was just a demon viscount. 

A Demon Duke boss would be at least level 60. It was definitely something Aiden couldn't fight right now. 

Without hesitation, Aiden used the magic power in his body and activated the Abyss Flame Demon Cloak he had just gotten. 

Immediately, the deep red cloak behind him quickly lifted Aiden into the air. 

Vespera, Vivi, and John's eyes lit up for a moment, but then they quickly darkened. 

John looked down at his injuries and said through gritted teeth: 

"You guys go ahead. I can't run fast." 

Vespera took a deep breath and looked at Aiden, and said quickly: "Vivi is small and light. If you can, can you carry her?" 

The red light from the distance was getting closer and brighter. 

Aiden didn't hesitate. He said, "If it's too dangerous, I'll leave you behind. But right now, I can try." 

Without Vespera, Vivi, and John's help, Aiden wouldn't have been able to kill the Flame Demon Oslu so easily like before. 

But he had killed the Flame Demon Oslu, which also helped Vespera and the others get out of danger for now. 

So Aiden wouldn't make a big sacrifice for three people he just met. 

He could only try his best. If it didn't work, he would leave without hesitation. 

When she heard Aiden's words, Vespera instantly sighed in relief. She looked at Vivi and whispered: 

"You have to survive. Tell my father to avenge me." 

Vivi tightly closed her lips, her eyes turned red, and she shook her head hard. 

Aiden didn't want to waste time. He controlled the Abyss Flame Demon Cloak, flew up to where Vespera and Vivi were, and opened his arms. He wrapped his arms around Vivi's waist and picked the two of them up. 

Vespera and Vivi instantly widened their eyes, and looked at Aiden's face in shock. 

Feeling the strong heartbeat, Vespera's face turned red and she automatically lowered her head. 

Vivi, on the other hand, tightly hugged Aiden's arm. Her slim body touched Aiden's skin without any hesitation. 

She was a little afraid of heights, and she was already scared from the coming danger. 

Aiden looked down at Vespera and Vivi. He had to admit, both of them were beautiful girls. Their skin was smooth like tofu and smelled faintly sweet. 

He controlled the Abyss Flame Demon Cloak and flew up to John. He directly said: 

"John, right? Grab my legs." 

John didn't hesitate. He didn't want to die. If there was a way to survive, he wouldn't give it up.

Aiden, with two top-tier genius beauties in his arms and a Troll Warrior hanging from his legs, took a deep breath. 

"Whoosh!" 

With all his magic power poured into it, the Abyss Flame Demon Cloak carried the group quickly through the air. 

At first, Aiden wasn't used to it and almost hit an obstacle. That scared Vivi and Vespera, who both held on tightly, almost choking him. 

The Abyss Flame Demon Cloak was truly an Epic item. It flew fast, almost as fast as a regular car. 

Even with Vespera, Vivi, and John added on, the speed didn't slow down at all. 

Soon, Aiden flew a long way with the three of them. 

He turned back and saw the red light in the distance suddenly stopped moving, as if something unexpected had happened. 

Then, everything went quiet. A huge, ghost-like blade, as big as a mountain, appeared in the sky. 

Boom! 

The ground shook, and a bunch of rocks flew from the distance. The strong shockwave made Aiden, who was still in the air, wobble. 

Vespera shouted in surprise: "Thank goodness, my father is here!" 

"We don't need to run so fast anymore." 

Aiden struggled to control the Abyss Flame Demon Cloak. John, hearing Vespera's words, who was already badly injured, suddenly relaxed. 

His hands, which were holding onto Aiden's legs, lost strength, and John fell straight down. 

With the weight of one person suddenly gone, the already unstable Abyss Flame Demon Cloak became even harder to control. 

Aiden ended up falling to the ground with Vespera and Vivi. 

Luckily, the height wasn't too high. But it was a bit awkward. Aiden's left hand had accidentally landed on Vespera's chest, and his right hand was on Vivi's behind. 

Vespera quickly stood up, while Vivi shook her bottom and stayed silent, trying to move Aiden's hand away. 

She looked small, but the parts that should be big were nicely developed, and very soft. 

Vivi felt the warm touch on her backside, turned red, her heart raced, and she kept taking deep breaths. 

She was a famous genius girl in the Sovereign City. At just 18, she had awakened and was already level 15 as a Demon God's Messenger. 

But because of her small size, she looked a bit like a little girl. 

Aiden didn't say anything, just moved his hand away. He was also embarrassed, but it was just an accident. 

But to be honest, both Vespera and Vivi were way better than Elyra, in looks and style. 

The White City was just a small, remote city. The head of the Reclasser Association was only thirty-something levels. 

But Vespera and Vivi were geniuses from the Sovereign City. It made sense that they were stronger than Elyra. 

"We can rest a bit. Then we'll leave the Abyss right away," Vespera said, trying to stay calm. 

Vivi slowly got up from Aiden and quietly followed with her head down: 

"Yeah, Mr. David fought for us. Now we just need to leave the Abyss, and nothing bad will happen." 

Aiden took a deep breath and looked into the distance. 

The huge red light column and the blade that had just appeared were far away from him. 

But the shockwave had almost made him fall from the sky. 

It was clear that Vespera's father was a real powerhouse.

And from the way Vivi was relaxed, even the Demon Duke of the Abyss probably couldn't match Vespera's father. 

Aiden took a deep breath. If he had gotten caught in the fight between the Demon Duke Ethan and Vespera's father, he would probably already be dead. 

This kind of battle was way beyond what he could handle right now. 

At that moment, Vespera's voice suddenly sounded in Aiden's ear. 

"Um, thank you so much. If it wasn't for you, we probably wouldn't have even made it to the time when my father entered the Abyss. We would have already been dead." 

"The Wexley family from the Sovereign City owes you a favor." 

Before Aiden could even answer, Vivi added: "You also saved me. If you need anything, you can come to the Taylor family in the military." 

Then John slowly pulled out a black card and said the same thing: "The Hawthorne family's trading company in the Sovereign City is mine. If you need help in the future, just tell me." 

"By the way, this is our Hawthorne family's black card. Please take it." 

Aiden was a bit surprised. Vespera was a genius from the Sovereign City and often appeared in the media. Aiden had some knowledge about the Wexley family. 

No need to say more—Vespera's father was the head of the Reclasser Association in the Sovereign City. 

As for Vivi, Aiden didn't remember much about her. And the Taylor family wasn't something he had heard of much. 

But the Empire's war god was named Taylor. His name was Taylor James, a legendary-class. 

Then there was the Hawthorne family trading company that John mentioned. It seemed just as powerful. After all, the geniuses who could act together with Vespera and Vivi definitely had strong backgrounds. 

As for the black card John offered, Aiden didn't take it. 

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "I saved you, and you helped me kill the boss. We're even." 

Vespera shook her head quickly. "That's how it sounds, but you could have just left and not helped us at all." 

"I'll remember this favor, even if you don't want it." 

Everything that had just happened was too tense. Vespera hadn't checked Aiden's basic info at all. 

So she asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name."
