Chapter 171


    I remember one of the things my mom wanted was for me to be broad–minded and reading was the


    only thing that could make me smart


    Therefore, she always told me to read at least one book every day.


    “Mom, why do I have to keep reading?” Iined one day.


    My mother smiled “Because by reading you will gain knowledge, with knowledge you will gain titles and


    positions” She replied gently.


    And today, I stood behind my father’s b*dy who called out to a man with red colored eyes and called


    him Asmodeus, making me shocked because I had read about the Demon hierarchy and that name


    was in the book I read


    Was this an ident?


    “Nothing is impossible, everything has been recorded in the sky so we just have to live it”


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Those were also the words my mother told me and looking at today, I’m sure that this wasn’t an


    ident but something intentional.


    “Why are you here, Asmodeus?” I heard my father ask but the Demon onlyughed out loud after


    hearing my father’s words or questions.


    He’s crazy!!


    “Oh, Alpha Alpha… Alpha.” I’m d you’re all here, because my business is not with you, or you king


    Alpha, but I’m here because of him….


    My eyes widened as he pointed his index finger at me who was still hiding behind my father’s b*dy.


    “Growled…” I heard a growling from my father and hurriedly ced both my hands on his arms to


    stop him from doing something we all regret.


    My father, who felt the touch of my hands, immediately looked back at me, who gave him a smile, but I


    was surprised when he just continued to stare at me silently.


    Father?


    What’s going on here?


    “Your business with my daughter is my business too, Demon, tell me what you really want?” My father


    spoke up again while continuing to hide me behind his b*dy.


    The Demon just burst intoughter.


    The Demon justughed out loud as if what my father said was a joke by him and it made me angry


    and upset.


    He thinks it’s a joke?!


    “You’re crazy!!!” I said which made my mother gasp loudly and my father looked back at me after


    hearing me say it.


    The Demon immediately fell silent and he widened his eyes at me, as if he couldn’t believe I dared to


    say that about him.


    “What did you say, little girl?” He asked me with an angry gaze locked on me.


    I ventured to return his gaze and walked sideways so that we could see each other.


    “Iris… My father tried to hold me back, but I ignored him, that man, that Demon has humiliated him, I


    won’t just stay silent!


    “I said you’re crazy… Do you know where you are, acting without manners in front of the Alpha King


    like that?” I said firmly which I knew made almost everyone in this room hold their breath in shock and


    fear of the Demon’s reaction.


    IRIS!!! My father called me back but I gave him a smile.


    “Dad, I don’t like someone being disrespectful to you” I said softly to him which made tears gather in his


    eyes after hearing me speak.


    My father is the revered king of Alpha, no one is allowed to disrespect him, he never disrespects


    anyone and 1 will not stay silent when someone does something very disrespectful to him.


    It doesn’t matter if he’s a Demon


    “Iris. My father choked up and walked over to me again to give me a hug only “I’m so proud that you


    defended me, but this isn’t the time dear He said softly, maybe he thought I didn’t know who my


    opponent was there, I thought.


    p.. p


    p… p… p…


    You both looked back at the demon, damn, I forgot he was still there, I thought annoyed.


    “Awh… What a show.” He teased and made my anger increase the longer I spent with him.


    “What’s wrong with you? Don’t have any friends, bother other people!” I snapped and made him squint


    at me before raising his hand and everyone screamed as a strong gust of wind seemed to pierce


    through me.


    Oh Sh*t!!!


    Iing!!


    I felt my father pull my b*dy and protect me with his b*dy.


    No, father!!! I thought frantically, worried that something would happen to him and I would have to


    me myself, my mouth for challenging that Demon.


    But I blinked my eyes a few times to realize that nothing was happening to me and my father who was


    protecting me with his b*dy.


    Huh?


    We’re okay?


    Did he miss?


    Or is his strength not as great as I thought?


    Until my eyes were glued to the figure of someone standing in front of us…


    How did he get there? I thought in surprise and tried to see more clearly because it was still covered


    with brown smoke from whatever the Demon did to us.


    I gasp as I recognize the jet–ck hair of the man who blocked the Demon’s attack on us…


    That ck hair….


    He reminds me of someone, I thought and tried to remember more about it.


    Who????


    Think Iris… Think!!! I said ordering myself to think deeper.


    Until I finally remembered…


    My eyes widened as I recalled an old encounter with a beautiful dark–haired man when I was 5 years


    old.


    The man who called me ‘Baby Girl‘


    Oh my God.. I remembered then….


    I know who he is!


    He was…


    The pretty guy in market?!” I shouted in surprise which made my father startle as if he knew who the


    beautiful man was and in shock that I even knew him.


    .Olow….
