Night Had Already Fallen, And the city Was Wrapped In Silence, Yet Zavian Still sitting Beside Sheyaan. The room was Dim clame Almost Unreal locking at her Sleeping face It Felt As if she had finally found peace after months. as if every fear inside her had gone quiet for a while.
Zavian gazed at her and said, his voice low and cold,
I will repay every pain you've suffered… but first, I must finish my old work the one still pending
There was no warmth in his words, only certainty.
The moment he finished speaking. Zavian vanished in a swirl of dark smoke. Sheyaan, unaware of anything, turned in her sleep with innocent ease.
Zavian appeared in a dark modern alley where no one else was present. The silence was heavy. Only the sound of his footsteps echoed through the empty street. He stood alone staring at a beautiful house Like a predator choosing his prey.
A smirk curved his lips as he looked at the house. In a calm yet demonic tone,
he said Another soul collected today
In the next instant, like a bolt of lightning Zavian was standing on the balcony.
White curtains fluttered softly, bathed in pale blue moonlight. Everything was silent as if time itself had stopped breathing. Zavian stepped inside. On the bed, a man slept peacefully unaware of death standing so close.
A modern chair stood beside the bed. Zavian sat down like a king, one leg crossed over the other, lazily rubbing his jawline with one hand. His eyes never left the sleeping man.
A lantern glowed beside him with a soft yellow light. Zavian slowly flicked its switch on and off Light, darkness, light again.
The man stirred. Hearing the sound, his eyes snapped open.
The instant he woke up, Zavian turned the lantern off. Darkness swallowed the room. Only moonlight fell across Zavian's face, making him look even more terrifying.
Who's there?" the man asked, panic rising yet he saw no one.
Then the light came back on.
The man froze in shock, jumping upright on the bed. yo...you… how did you get here? Who told you where I live?!
He was none other than. The Alisha's cafe neighboring café owner the man who had signed the contract out of greed. And Zavian had come to collect what was owed.
The man said,
why are you here… huh?
The room was wrapped in silence. Only shallow breathing echoed in the darkness. Zavian formed a cool, dangerous smirk and said,
I think you've forgotten our deal… shall I remind you?
You do know me, don't you?"
The man replied,
yes, I know you. But how did you get here?
How did my bodyguards let you inside? Zavian slowly stepped forward, coldness and death walking with him.
Zavian said,
So you remember me… do you remember the contract you signed with me? the man shouted angrily,
Yes! i remember everything!
Zavian replied in a calm, masculine voice
good. At least you remember. Then get ready.
The man panicked,
no… no! I won't give you anything, got it?
Zavian walked toward him without haste. The moment the man tried to scream. Zavian choked his throat using only his eyes. The man's voice got stuck in his throat.
His breathing stopped. He collapsed onto the bed. his foot knocked the table beside the bed, and a glass of water fell and shattered on the floor.
The sound echoed outside the room. The bodyguards heard it.
"What was that sound?
They knocked on the door, but there was no response. Panic spread. Inside But the man was dying. His eyes turned blood red. With his last strength, he whispered,
"You… you… are… not… doing… this… right…"
Zavian placed his foot on the table, leaned closer, and said in a cold, demonic voice,
"Humans are greedy and treacherous.They never keep their promises. But I don't care.
I only want what belongs to me. And your death… will be by suffocation.
The man struggled briefly. then died on the bed. Zavian smirked. He waved his hand over the man's head..Red lightning burst from his palm,
and white light escaped the man's body..That light turned into an envelope in Zavian's hand..and vanished in crimson glow. Zavian stood up.
The man was dead. and Zavian felt no pity. This is what a true demon looks like. Zavian jumped from the balcony, but he didn't fall.
He landed effortlessly on the ground..The bodyguards rushed in and froze at the sight. They checked their boss of pulse
his soul was already taken. They searched everywhere. No one was there. Looking down from the balcony,
they saw Zavian walking away, hands in his pockets his black coat flying in the wind. He glanced at the black rose shaped tattoo on his wrist,
glowing red. Zavian smiled. Everything he wanted….he was getting it. The bodyguards only saw his back.
They jumped down and chased him.But when Zavian turned the corner he vanished into black smoke.
They searched desperately.
One bodyguard of them shouted,
"Find him! Kill him wherever you see him!
He murdered our boss! They didn't know. the one they wanted to kill was death itself.
Zavian reaches his penthouse and is about to enter his room when a voice suddenly comes from behind,
"Where are you coming from so late at night?
It was a deep, masculine voice. Zavian turns around and sees Kalene standing there. Kalene asks again,
"Where were you, boss?"
Zavian widens his eyes slightly and says coldly
you've started asking too many questions since you came to the human world. Kalene chuckles lightly and replies in a playful tone,
"Boss… boss, why are you getting angry? If we want to live in the human world, we need to learn their ways."
Then he continues innocently,
"I heard two girls talking at the market today. I went there to buy noodles because honestly, noodles are the only thing I like in this human world.
Kalene becomes a bit serious and adds
"One of those girls said that whenever someone comes home late at night, they should be asked where they came from… because some people return late after doing bad things.
He looks straight at Zavian,
"So I asked you."
Zavian's eyes harden with anger as he says,
What do you think who I am?
Kalene immediately straightens up,
"You are the King Demon… and to humans, you are Zayan
Zavian snaps back irritably,
"Watch your tongue. I won't hesitate to cut it off.
Kalene widens his eyes, clearly upset,
"Boss, I care about you… and you're scolding me. Fine, I won't say anything from now on.
Zavian replies coldly,
"Don't show so much attitude. Go and sleep. got it
Zavian walks into his room, and Kalene heads to his own. Zavian removes his coat, places it aside, and goes to take a shower.
After bathing, he changes into his night clothes and stands before the mirror, fixing his hair.
Just as he's about to leave, his movement freezes. He had just seen a blue light. Zavian steps closer to the mirror and examines himself carefully.
He checks the chain with the small watch hanging from it But there is no glow.
Then his eyes fall on the rose shaped tattoo on his wrist Zavian freezes in shock.
A blue light is glowing inside the tattoo. where it had always been red.
He whispers, staring at his reflection,
"Why is it blue… instead of red?
His breathing grows heavier. And then, in a stunned voice, he mutters,
"My… my… powers…?"
The room falls completely silent.
