Chapter 193: Family Tree, World Record (1/2)

”So wait, you and Clesh were forced together? Why would Nixi do that?” I asked, but I was sure it was just because she was a controlling witch, but maybe I was wrong.

”She said that Clesh was a good woman that needed my help, but it was because Clesh was a runt offspring of a B ranked Demon King. Every once in a while, a Demon of a higher rank will produce an F Rank Lesser Demon. She was not treated the best, but now worse than anyone else,” Mex explained as the shattered plains fountained up behind him.

”So Nixi thought that if you had a child with her, you might produce a Demon that was of a higher rank?” I asked, and Mex nodded.

”That was the idea, but the chances of it happening were very slim, as you can see with my daughter. You should have been there! A solid week of everyone pissing themselves in terror! But I was happy, briefly. Now Nixi is forcing us to stay together because she needs her for some special magic she uses or something,” Mex said with a shrug.

”Be together? But you're not, are you?” I asked casually but then added, ”None of my business, really. It just doesn't seem like you do since you asked me to take care of her for you… wait!”

Mex started to grin, and I narrowed my eyes at him, and his grin slipped off his face, and his expression fell. The Demons body sagged, and it looked like the fight had just left him, and I was confused by the abrupt change.

”You have noticed that I don't have anything to do with the mothers of my children, right?” Mex asked, but his voice sounded tired and worn out.

”I have noticed, but it's none of my business, and I just assumed that was a Demon thing,” I said, and Mex nodded.

”Yes, it is, but I assumed with your morals, you might have thought that I would be better than this,” Mex said with a weak smile, and I nodded and grinned back at him.

”I did, and still do,” I told him, and I did really think that he was better than that, so I was interested to hear what his excuse was.

”I ruined each one of them, Kazz! I wrecked them, and even though it would have been no different if done by another Demon, it does not make me feel any less guilty. I have watched life be born naturally, and it is disgusting with most, but each one is new and without hate! We are monsters, Kazz, MONSTERS! And I can barely even look Clesh in the eyes now!” Mex exasperated, spreading his hands to the sides.

I didn't expect that, but I should have. Of course, Mex would feel bad for it, and I knew this, or he would have fucked Veronica just the same as Candace.

”Okay, first, let's get this out of the way. My real name is Zack, not sure why it was given to me backward,” I explained, inwardly groaning as I thought about explaining it to the others.
