Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Nero slammed the jug on the table as he yelled, "One more!"

All the other customers were awed by Nero, and they were giving him a long stare.

He had eaten 42 servings of meat and drank 5 barrels of rum, yet he still wanted more.

"Here," a girl waiter served a plate full of meat and filled the empty jug with rum.

The waiter then looked at Emilia, who was sitting in front of Nero. "Where did you find him? He eats a lot."

Emilia forced a smile and nodded.

Nero chugged down half jug of the rum and started eating meat as he looked at Emilia, then burped.

Emilia had ordered only one plate of meat, and she had only eaten some bites.

Nero didn't want to pry Emilia to eat since he was very well aware of what Emilia was feeling right now.

She lost two important people in her life, and the other two people who she trusted with her life betrayed her and left her to die. It was too much for anyone to digest overnight.

She also barely survived death— and it wasn't for Nero saving her; she would be dead with no future and no one to take her revenge— even the people who cared about Emilia would have never known what truly happened to Emilia.

Nero then recalled what Chief Bruce had said to Emilia when he tried to console her.

'I am glad you two are safe.' Nero recalled.

'What did he mean by 'you two'?' Nero wondered.

There were chances that Bruce meant Emilia and Nero, but Nero wasn't sure about that.

'That mortal… if he successfully escaped, then he must have come to this town too. Maybe that's what Bruce meant by 'You two'? Or am I just thinking too much?'

Nero was lost in his thoughts, and meanwhile, Emilia was trying to eat, but she didn't have any appetite, and she was just trying to keep company for Nero.

Emilia glanced at Nero and noticed Nero's gaze was fixated on her breasts, while Nero was just lost in his thoughts.

Her face flushed, and she quickly covered her breasts with her hands.

'If that mortal is really here, then I need to take care of him as soon as possible,' Nero gazed at Emilia, then pondered, 'Should I tell her?'

Nero wasn't sure about telling Emilia about that since he himself wasn't one hundred percent sure, and he didn't want to make Emilia worried more than she already was.

'Once Emilia falls asleep, I will check around and see if I can find and track that mortal down. If I find him, I will end him, and if I don't, then I will just have to be patient— but, I will find him and give him a cruel death, no matter where he is hiding in this entire world; even heavens can't protect him from me.'

Nero had made up his mind was exterminating Darius, and that was his prime goal for now.

Emilia noticed Nero gripping the jug tightly, so she asked, "What's wrong? You are looking scary all of a sudden."

Nero drank the remaining rum in the jug, then looked at Emilia.

"Why did you book the room for three nights and two days?"

"We will stay tonight here, then tomorrow I want to show you the rest of the town, and I want you to meet the humans who treat me as their own kind. Not only that, but I also want to show you the sunrise— it looks so beautiful from the mountains," Emilia answered with a happy smile on her face.

"You are aware that I can't stay here for long, right?"

Emilia's smile disappeared as she bit her lips and muttered, "You are going to leave?"

"I will leave as soon as Sophia wakes up," Nero answered and then thought, 'And once I am done taking your revenge.'

"I see."

Emilia's disappointment was so evident that she looked sad and gloomy.

Nero looked at Emilia as he finished the rest of the meat from his plate.

'I hope this is not what I think it is.' Nero sighed.

The girl waiter approached the table and asked, "Do you need more?"

"No, I am done," Nero answered.

The waiter then looked at Emilia and asked with a worried look on her face, "What about you, Emilia?"

Emilia shook her head and spoke, "Christi, How much did… Everything cost?"

"You don't have to worry about the money, Emilia. You gave me 20 gold coins last week when I needed them, so I will just cut it from that, alright?"

"But how much does all this cost?" Emilia asked again.

"Uhh…" Christi glanced at Nero with a troubled expression on her face and said, "I will get the bill."

Emilia was lost on what Nero said a while ago. She thought that Nero would leave her here and leave— though she wasn't wrong, but Nero had no intention to leave her here. If Emilia asked him to take her with him, he wouldn't dare to say her no.

Christi came rushing to Emilia and said, "It's supposed to be 25 gold coins, but the owner is giving a discount of 2 gold coins because your companion ate too much."

"So after the discount, it's 23 gold coins."

Emilia started sweating as she glanced back and forth at Nero and Christi. "23 for the food and two gold coins for lodging— that's a total of 25 gold coins."

"But I only gave you 20 gold coins, and I don't have any money to pay the rest of the bill to you." Emilia was freaking out.

"Don't worry, it's fine. It's on me." Christi picked up the plates and left.

Nero stood up and patted Emilia's head, then said, "Come on, it's late night. You should sleep, and don't you want to show me the sunrise tomorrow?"

Emilia looked at Nero as her face cheered up. "Yes!"
