Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

Chapter 180 0191 55 vouchers Selene The host smiled brightly as her gaze swept across all of us, as if she were savoring every bit of tension hanging in the air. "Is today's match clear to everyone, or does anyone need me to repeat myself?" she asked lightly, tilting her head as though she already knew the answer. No one spoke, and instead, people simply shook their heads, their expressions shifting into excitement as their eyes lit up with anticipation, as if they could not wait for the match to begin.

Some of them even looked smug and arrogant, their lips curling into confident smiles as though they had already decided exactly what they were going to do to win. I looked at all of them quietly, my expression giving nothing away, but inwardly, I could not help the faint shake of my head at their behavior. People were far more gullible than I thought, because the moment they were given even the smallest end of a stick, they convinced themselves that they held the entire thing, never realizing they were only a single step away from their own downfall.

As that thought crossed my mind, I turned slightly, and at that exact moment, I felt the host's gaze was on me. I lifted my eyes and met hers, and her smile deepened instantly, her expression even more excited than it had been the previous day, as though she was relieved that her favorite pet was still playing her game. I did not respond to her look because I had other things to think about, and she was not important enough to distract me. "Good," she said smoothly, her voice filled with satisfaction.

"Now that we understand the rules, let the game begin." She paused briefly before continuing, her tone turning almost playful. "A word of advice though, before you leave." People immediately turned their attention back to her, curiosity flickering across their faces as they waited. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming in a way that felt almost dangerous.

"Guard not only your body," she said softly, "but your mind." Before anyone could question what she meant, the fog around us began to thicken unnaturally fast, spreading across the forest floor and rising into the air until it swallowed the trees, the sky, and everything in sight. In the next moment, the host and her people standing with her vanished completely, as though they had never been there at all.

Panic spread instantly through the crowd as people looked at each other, confusion quickly turning into fear "What is going on- someone began to say, but before he could finish his sentence, his voice suddenly cut off, and in the next second, he disappeared, swallowed whole by the fog. More people began to vanish. One after another. Some screamed as they tried to run, while others stumbled back in terror, but it made no difference because the fog reached them no matter what they did, engulfing them completely and erasing them from sight as if they had never existed.

1 watched everything quietly for a moment before turning my head to the side. My gaze met the prince's. He was already looking at me. His expression was calm and unreadable, his eyes steady as if nothing about this situation concerned him in the slightest, 174 11:02 am PPPT. рррт Chapter 180 56 vouchers and the woman standing behind him looked just as composed. Neither of them moved, and neither of them showed even the slightest sign of panic. Then, in the next moment, the fog swallowed them too. A small smile curled at my lips as I watched them disappear.

The white fog closed in around me immediately after, wrapping around my body and pulling me into it without resistance, and when I opened my eyes again, everything was pure white. There was nothing around me, as though the entire world had been erased and replaced with an endless void where even the trees had disappeared. I raised an eyebrow as I looked around, trying to take in my surroundings, but there was nothing to see. Then suddenly, I felt something tighten around my wrist.

I turned immediately and saw Miles standing beside me, his small hand gripping mine tightly as if I was the only thing keeping him grounded in this empty space. His eyes were wide as he stared at the white void before turning to me, panic flickering across his face as he spoke. "N-Noah, what is going on?" he asked, his voice unsteady. "Where are we? What happened to the rest of the contestants?" When I did not answer him immediately, Miles' expression shifted dramatically, and then he gasped loudly, his mouth falling open as if the truth had just struck him like lightning.

"Wait," he said, his voice rising in panic as he tightened his grip on my hand, "don't tell me we are dead. How can we die so soon when we are still this young? I have so many things I still want to do, so many people I still need to defeat. I cannot seriously just die now!" I stared at him, completely unimpressed by his outburst, before lifting my free hand and pinching his cheek without warning, applying just enough pressure to make him yelp in pain. "Ouch!" he cried, instantly letting go of my wrist to clutch his cheek as he looked at me with wide, offended eyes. "That hurt.

What did I even do?" "I wanted to show you that you are not dead," I said flatly, withdrawing my hand as if nothing had happened. He pouted immediately, his expression somehow becoming even more childish. "Then where are we?" he asked, glancing around nervously at the endless white space. "And where are the others?" I did not answer right away. Instead, I lifted my gaze upward, my eyes narrowing slightly as I focused on the massive, unblinking eye watching us from above. "We are still in the forest, I said calmly.

Miles frowned, clearly unconvinced, as he turned in a slow circle, scanning the empty surroundings. "Forest?" he repeated, his tone skeptical. "Are you sure about that? Because I do not see any trees or anything that would make this eerie place resemble a forest." I shrugged lightly, my expression indifferent. "The forest was always cerie. Most people just never noticed it. There was something wrong with it from the very beginning" He looked at me more carefully this time, his earlier panic fading into curiosity. "Is that why you told me to hold onto you earlier?" he asked.

"Did you already know something like this would happen?" "Yes, I thought it would keep us together instead of separating us so I could keep an eye on you and protect you." 2/4 11:02 am Chapter 180 55 vouchers His face lit up at my words, a bright smile spreading across his lips. "As expected of you," he said cheerfully. "You are really smart, Noah." I turned my head slightly to look at him, my gaze lazy on the surface but sharp underneath, and then I spoke in a calm, almost absent tone. "But that did not seem to work." He blinked, confusion flashing across his face.

"What?" He did not get the chance to finish his sentence. In one smooth, effortless motion, I pulled the dagger from where I had hidden it within my clothes and drove it straight into his head without even the slightest hesitation. His body froze instantly, his eyes widening in shock as the blade sank deep, and his lips parted as if he wanted to speak, but no proper sound came out. I did not stop.

I pulled the dagger out just as quickly and drove it down again, this time into his chest, forcing the air out of him as he coughed violently, blood spilling from his mouth while his trembling hands tried to grasp the blade. "W-why..." he choked out, his voice weak and broken as he looked at me in disbelief. "Why would you do this to me, Noah?" I looked down at him, my face completely devoid of emotion, my grip on the dagger steady. "Quit the act," I said coldly.

"I know you are not Miles, and the more you pretend to be him, the more I will enjoy hurting you." For a brief second, his expression remained twisted in pain, but then, slowly, his lips stretched into something unnatural, something far too wide to belong to a child. The illusion shattered. His face distorted, his features melting and shifting until red fur sprouted where skin once was, forming the sharp, cunning face of a red fox, and then even that form twisted again, reshaping into the figure of a woman.

A very beautiful woman stood before me, completely bare, her long black hair cascading down her body, covering just enough to leave everything else to the imagination, her presence both alluring and deeply unsettling. She tilted her head, her lips curling into a delighted smile as her voice changed into something softer, and far more dangerous. "Oh." she said, her eyes gleaming with hunger as she looked at me, "I like you." Her smile widened, revealing the predator beneath the beauty.

"You are far smarter and quicker than the rest of them, she continued, her gaze dragging over me as if she were already deciding how to consume me. "You will be absolutely delicious to cat." 3/4 Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
