Accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps, the pink-haired Succubus Miss hiding on the ceiling carefully observed the figure at the entrance and immediately revealed a smug smile.
This person really dared to come alone, with no preparation at all. Isn’t this just delivering herself as a grand feast~?
Moreover, the thing she was carrying in her hand—
Jaxia narrowed her eyes, obviously very interested in the pouch the girl was holding.
So, when Keti reached the center of the area, she took the initiative to appear, flying out while shaking the large wings on her back, hovering in the air.
Hiss—
Hearing the sudden noise, Keti’s gaze was instantly drawn upward. Immediately after, she widened her eyes in disbelief.
The characteristics of the person before her made her recognize in almost an instant that she was a member of the Demon Race, and… she was even a…
Su… Succubus?!
What made Keti feel even more strange was that she didn’t recognize this person’s appearance at all. She didn’t have the slightest impression in her mind. After all—
Keti had never even seen a Succubus before, so how could she possibly have any enmity with her? Uh… Could it be that some monster she killed in a dungeon was this Succubus’s distant uncle?!
But that couldn’t be right. The monsters in the dungeons were different from the Demon Race. If this person had no grievance or hatred with her, then why would she kidnap her students and only extort her?
Could it be that she really was just unlucky and ran into a random crime? Did those two students only mention her name and refuse to give their parents’? That’d be way too abstract…
All kinds of doubts lingered. Even now, upon seeing the real culprit, Keti still couldn’t figure it out. Just as she was feeling confused, after a moment, the airborne Jaxia was the first to speak.
“Hmph, Teacher Keti, why are you still dressed like that? Well, whatever, did you bring what I asked for?”
Jaxia was a bit curious why Keti was still in women’s clothes, while on the other hand, Keti frowned, feeling that this voice sounded somewhat familiar, yet she had never actually heard this tone before.
After a brief pause, she still raised the pouch in her hand and spoke:
“Five hundred thousand Dinars. It’s all here. Please, don’t hurt my students!”
“Hah? You think I’m stupid? Fi… five hundred thousand Dinars can’t possibly fit in such a small pouch!”
When Jaxia first saw Keti bring over the five hundred thousand Dinars, she was honestly quite excited.
After all, although Jaxia’s real goal was just to lure Keti out of the Magic Academy and finish her off right then and there, absorbing her power in the process, the ransom of five hundred thousand Dinars was just something she’d written down to make her act more convincing.
As for whether Keti could actually bring that much money… Jaxia had never expected it from the start.
After all, a Magic Academy teacher, and just an assistant teacher at that, who’d only been working for such a short time—plus, all her money had previously gone to the Hero’s party—how could she possibly gather five hundred thousand Dinars?
But unexpectedly, the other party actually brought the money. Of course, Jaxia was even happier now, since…
No one dislikes money. Even a member of the Demon Race, the lure of this much cash was immense to her.
Just thinking how many sleazy old men she’d have to squeeze dry, forcing them to hand over all their money to her, to collect this much!
With this fortune, she could thoroughly enjoy herself in the human world. The temptation was truly endless. The only problem was—why was this pouch so small?
Hearing the question, the silver-haired beauty could only helplessly hold her forehead and shake her head. Then, with a trace of mockery, the girl said:
“How ignorant. This is a Magic Pouch. It doesn’t look very big or heavy, but inside is a Magic Storage. Five hundred thousand Dinars. Here…”
As she spoke, Keti unzipped the pouch, then raised it over her head, letting Jaxia get a clear look at the cash inside.
The pink-haired Succubus’s eyes immediately sparkled at the sight. In her mind, she was already picturing a future life of luxury and indulgence, and she shouted at Keti in excitement:
“Hurry up, give it to me!”
“Not so fast…”
Just as the other was at her most excited, Keti suddenly put away the pouch and started questioning her.
“Who exactly are you? Succubus… Do we know each other? Why did you kidnap my students… What is your real goal?”
“Mm…”
Jaxia sneered, clearly with no intention of answering the girl’s questions. After all, she still planned to return and use her disguise to see if there was a chance to target Alice.
Besides, why reveal her identity to someone she already considered dead?
So, after a moment, the Succubus lady narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “I don’t need to answer that. Who knows, maybe I just kidnapped people for fun and you happened to get unlucky~”
Tsk…
Listening to that arrogant tone, Keti also became angry. This person… her attitude was really just so… inexplicably annoying.
However, the girl didn’t act rashly. Since the other didn’t want to communicate, then… she’d just have to follow her own script.
“Sigh… Of course I can give you the money, but first, I must confirm that my two students are safe! Take me to see them. Money for people, that’s the deal!”
“Oho… That…”
Jaxia originally intended to finish her off right here, but thinking about it, she really couldn’t bear to lose the money.
She was worried that if they started fighting, her precious cash might get damaged by mistake.
In that case, she’d wait until the girl handed over the money, then while she was untying the two kids with her back turned, she could launch a sneak attack~
Having made up her mind, Jaxia’s face showed a look of delight. After a moment, she nodded, then waved her hand.
“Don’t worry about that. Those two little brats have been enjoying themselves with me for a good while. Maybe they don’t even want to go back with you~ Pfft, but I’m tired of playing with them now, so… I’ll let you rescue them. Follow me!”
With that, the Succubus lady suddenly flew out the window. The silver-haired beauty blinked in confusion. Eh? Wait… that’s not…
Damn it, does she think everyone has wings?! Tsk…
There was no other way. Fortunately, her arch-nemesis had given her a pouch light enough to carry.
After tying it to herself, Keti quickly drank a potion that boosted her jumping ability and speed, then jumped out the window and hurried after her!
The hiding place was just as her enemy had guessed—not far away. Very soon, Jaxia stopped. Then, glancing back at the following Keti, she revealed a hint of surprise.
But after a moment, she turned her head smugly and opened the door. Not far away, in the corner of this abandoned factory she’d found, two male figures were tied to chairs, their arms bound behind them.
They appeared… completely unharmed.
