Chapter 22 - Meeting

It was early in the morning when Allen Styler, the head of the Styler family, heard the news of the arrest of his youngest son.

"…"

"Sir"

"What is it, Joe?"

"Sir, a lot of your… 'friends' are calling and want you to make… a public explanation" Said Joe.

"God damn it…" Said Allen.

As he watched the face of his son on the news and the label below that wrote 'Kidnapper', he could only massage his eyebrows.

 "What about the chief police, Cameron?"

"I just call him, he can't help you this time, the mess is to big" 

"That useless motherfucker" Said Allen.

As the head of the Styer family, Allen Styler had everything he wanted, he said and it was done, with that mentality, he wanted his blood to feel the same, that's why, he gave them the best of the best.

"Is because his mother is that woman's daughter?" Though Allen.

"Anyway, make sure that bastard don't die… I don't care if he becomes a crippled, however, he must stay alive, you heard me?" Said Allen.

"As for our 'friends'… I would deal with it, but not now, I have an important meeting today" Said Allen.

"Understood sir" Said Joe.

Allen nodded and went on his way.

.........…..

It was 2 p.m. when Allen arrive at the Hilton Hotel in his limousine. 

Arriving there, a woman dressed all in white was waiting for him.

"Hello dear" Said the woman with a smile.

"Hello, let's talk inside" Said Allen.

Allen and the woman walked and went straight to the VIP room.

Arriving there, Allen told his security to not let anyone in.

The woman in white told the same to her guards.

When everyone was gone from the room apart from these two, Allen finally relaxed and sat on the sofa.

"So" Said the woman in white.

She also relaxed near the window and looked at Allen with a soft smile.

"What did you want to tell me? D.E.A.R" 

"Stop saying that, it gives me the chills" Said Allen.

"Hahaha" Laughed the woman.

The woman closed the curtains and grabbed the shoulders of Allen, massaging them.

"So, what are your worries"

Allen couldn't help but trembled at the touch of the woman.

"I think… that 'something' is harming my family"

"Oh? Something? You will have to be a bit more specific"

Allen trembled and his voice broke a bit.

"A…a… a demon"

The woman stopped her hands for a minute before resuming.

"Oh? A demon huh? What makes you think like that?"

"My son… Bob said to me before… that her step-daughter had red eyes… although I though he was talking jibber jabber , analyzing how easily my son lost everything in just a couple of days… I think that someone was purposely targeting him"

"Oh? I didn't know that you were such a… 'Good' parent"

"If you are suggesting that I am worried about him… no, I am not, I am just worried about my name getting tainted" Said Allen.

The woman smile grew bigger.

"Good, that's good…"

Her fingers grew larger, and the atmosphere grew denser.

"Because… you can't feel empathy… no… you mustn't feel empathy"

"After all…"

The woman's eyes turned red as she looked at Allen.

"As a follower of Mammon, your only worry must be on how to be richer… how to be… more powerful… you understand that right!!!?" Said the woman.

Allen swallow spit as his hand were wet.

He felt spit on his shoulders.

"She is drooling…" Though Allen.

"Of course… of course I know that… Lord Mammon have given me everything I have, how could I not practice his teachings" Said Allen.

"Oh… that's too bad" Said the woman.

The spit stopped and the atmosphere returned to normal.

"So… what do you want me to do?"

"I… I want you to investigate this… if it's really a demon… I wouldn't be able to defeat it… no, no human will be able to defeat it" Said Allen.

"With pleasure, with pleasure… of course I will help you…" Said the woman with a happy tone.

She turned around and looked at the door.

"But you understand… my price… right?" 

"Yes… I do…" Said Allen.

"HAHAHAHAH, GOOD, GOOD!" 

The hand of Allen shone, reveling a red mark.

"I…" Said Allen.

"I swear… to the follower of lord Mammon… the demon Amdusias, to pay the price of this contract… might not… My soul shall be dragged to hell and suffer for all eternity"

The woman, Amdusia's face transformed, revealing a horn on her forehead.

"Wait for the good news~" 

With that, the woman disappeared from site. Leaving only Allen who was still trembling in fear.
