Chapter 403 - Flexible Means (2/2)

“Hey, brat, the first thing you do when you wake up is to find me? I’m really honored!” Dante’s voice came, and he quickly appeared in front of Sareth. He held a plate with fried eggs and ham on it in his hand, and the food exuded an alluring aroma.

While joking, Dante placed the plate on the table in front of Sareth. “Hungry? This is your breakfast…”

Sareth looked at the food on the plate. They were things he had never seen before. Although they smelled delicious, he controlled his urge to eat and stared at Dante. “You… I saw you transform. Are you also a half-demon?”

“Yes, just like you, I’m a half-demon!” Dante was frank. He sat down opposite him and placed his feet on the table. Then he pointed at Nero, who was crossing his arms. “And not only me. He’s also a half-demon!”

Nero rolled his eyes. He hesitated for a moment before showing Sareth his demon right arm.

“So, you don’t have to worry too much, Sareth!” Dante spread his hands and tried to speak in a relaxed tone. “We’re actually the same kind.”

Sareth finally understood what the familiar feeling he had when he first saw Dante was, so he could not help but say, “You’re also Children of Taboo. Have demons and humans… ever hunted you down?”

Regarding his identity as a Child of Taboo, the memory of that high-rank demon choking him was still fresh in his mind. He knew that many demons hated Children of Taboo like him to the bone, so he was curious about whether these two of his kind had encountered the same thing as him.

However, this term that Sareth said made Dante and Nero look at each other. “Children of Taboo?”

When Dante was young, demons had indeed hunted him down, but that was a tragedy caused by demons taking revenge on his father. After that, he often suffered attacks from demons, but he always felt that it was related to his father.

But after hearing this term, Dante realized that his understanding might have been wrong, so he could not help but ask, “Children of Taboo? What does this mean?”

Sareth was taken aback. “Don’t you know?”

Dante and Nero both shook their heads.

Sareth looked down at the food on the table. He could not help but grab it and take a bite. He found it delicious, so he could not worry so much and began to eat it. As he ate, he explained, “Foster Father once told me that demons and humans are very different creatures, so it’s difficult for them to have offspring. But by chance, there’s a tiny chance that offspring will appear. But such half-demon offsprings are not permitted by demons. On the one hand, demons will covet the talent of half-demons, and on the other hand, they want to kill half-demons to maintain the purity of demon bloodlines, so they call demon-human hybrids Children of Taboo…”

Dante and Nero looked at each other. To be honest, they had been fighting demons all these years. Although the demons they encountered were furious at them, they had long been accustomed to it. They felt that the demons’ anger might have something to do with them hunting demons, but they had never thought that there was such a deep reason.

“Sareth, according to you, are you also being hunted down by demons?” Dante asked.

“I don’t know…” Sareth raised his head in puzzlement and thought for a while. It seemed that except for the time when he encountered those high-rank demons and had his identity exposed, his foster father had protected him well, so he had not been hunted down by demons…

Looking at Sareth’s blank expression, Dante felt a headache. To be honest, although Sareth was the same as them, it was still difficult for children of his age to communicate because adults might not be able to keep up with his thinking

At this moment, Nico, who was beside Sareth, suddenly asked, “Is it delicious? Would you like some more? Kyrie’s cooking is pretty good!”

Sareth quickly nodded. It was the first time he had eaten cooked human food, so he naturally found it delicious.

Nico smiled as she took the plate from Sareth and went to the kitchen. When she passed by Nero, she gave him a meaningful glance. This was the decision that they had reached after discussing last night. Because Dante and the others had attacked Sareth, Sareth was hostile to them. But for a child like Sareth, blindly using force was easy to arouse his rebellious attitude, and the gains would not make up for the losses. So Nico believed that if she used some gentle methods and tried her best to get along with Sareth as a friend, there might be unexpected gains. At least, this child looked like he was inexperienced, and it should be easier to get information from him…

This was why, early in the morning, the first person to appear was the woman, Nico, and then Dante and Nero appeared as the same kind. Now, with the help of Kyrie’s superb culinary skills, it was easy to lower many of Sareth’s psychological defenses.

After receiving the hint from Nico’s eyes, Nero scratched his head and said to Sareth, “After you finish eating, go take a shower. You smell of gunpowder and blood.”

Dante nodded. “That’s right, brat. Since you have nowhere to go now, stay here first.”

Upon hearing the way Dante addressed him, Sareth could not help but become angry. “How many times have I told you not to call me brat?!”

“Hahaha!” Dante laughed loudly. He reached out to rub Sareth’s hair and walked out of the garage without looking back.
