David was a rich kid from a real estate corporation and never knew what it was like to be short on money his whole life. But now Lucifer tells him to go steal, and not just anything but cheap stuff like basic necessities. Then how could he take that?
"I'm staying with Scarlet, you go do the work. No way I'm doing something as embarrassing as stealing."
No idea what gave David the guts to talk so recklessly like that, but Lucifer didn't care.
"Bad kids have to get their butts spanked."
That gentle yet totally malicious tone made Scarlet shiver right away. Now she was even more sure that Lucifer saw her as a little kid.
"You… you stay away!"
David screamed in panic and tried to run, but there was no chance of that. Once you're on Lucifer's radar, forget about escaping.
Maybe because he'd 'practiced' a bit with Scarlet, Lucifer's skill at 'disciplining' kids had improved a lot.
He immediately locked David down and unleashed a full combo of one hundred eighty smacks to the butt. The slapping sounds were so sharp anyone hearing it would feel bad for David.
Since David's body after awakening was a lot stronger than a normal person, Lucifer hit harder too. One smack to his butt used force that could almost crack a brick.
"Stop!"
David screamed like a pig getting slaughtered. From childhood till now, this was the first time he'd ever been in such a pathetic situation. Humiliating and terrifying at the same time, because now he could clearly feel Lucifer's suffocating, overwhelming power.
Scarlet didn't dare look directly at that horrifying scene. Just hearing the sounds made her body, even though she was sweating, shake from the 'cold'.
"If David's here, doesn't that mean Lucifer will spank me less? Maybe I should get him more slaves later so he won't have time to spank me."
She muttered quietly to herself about the thought that just popped into her head. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense, because for a lazy guy like Lucifer, things would most likely turn out that way.
Lucifer's ears were really sharp now, so even though Scarlet muttered very quietly, he still heard it. The corner of his mouth curled up in satisfaction. Slave No. 1 knowing how to find more slaves for her master. What a good slave.
Even though Scarlet's crying and noise annoyed him a bit, if she could get things done, he was willing to overlook those trivial 'flaws'.
"Now, do you want to finish the job I gave you, or do you want another hundred eighty smacks?"
The number '180' that Lucifer always said was actually his longest win streak in a game… At least in the memory he could fake anytime, that's how it was.
"Fine, I'll go, alright…"
David didn't have any choice now except to obediently do the job. If he got hit another hundred eighty times, he'd probably break a bone.
Just as he was about to stand up, he realized he couldn't get up for the time being. He looked blankly at Lucifer.
"If I can't stand, how am I supposed to work?"
"You don't know how to crawl? I told you to work, I didn't say standing up or lying down. I only want the final result. How you do it is up to you."
Right then Lucifer looked like a brutal capitalist demon squeezing slaves dry to the bone. And he was a Demon King, so acting like this wasn't surprising at all.
"Huh?! You…"
David wanted to curse back, but in the end his reason won over his ego. If he cursed Lucifer now, he'd officially end up paralyzed.
When he killed a zombie and accidentally awakened as a fire mage, he thought he was the main character of the era. Thought he could reach the world's peak together with his goddess.
But cruel fate made him run into a devil in human skin right after awakening. His pride and confidence were smashed to pieces along with his butt.
When he arrived at Scarlet's apartment, he was full of energy. When he left, he crawled out like a cripple. The more he thought about it, the more it hurt…
Lucifer didn't care whether David worked with resentment or not. He only cared about the final result, so he let David curse whatever he wanted.
After taking in slave No. 2, he sat on the bed with slave No. 1. The moment he sat down, Scarlet shivered even though he hadn't done anything yet.
Lucifer gently took the cream and kept applying it to her wound. He gave a soft smile that looked kind of noble, but it definitely wasn't meant for her.
"You… what are you smiling at?"
That smile gave Scarlet chills down her neck. He was definitely scheming something evil and nasty in his head.
"Nothing. Just that this is my first time doing this and it doesn't feel too bad. If I run into a stupid teammate while gaming, rubbing a hand like this would make me a lot less angry.
Too bad the games I play need both hands. When I grow a third arm, I'll make you lie next to me while I play."
"Huh???"
Lucifer's insane idea hit Scarlet like a lightning bolt, her brain temporarily shutting down.
Her face turned bright red, and she buried her face in the pillow again. Was this damn idea trying to embarrass her to death?
"You… you have to take responsibility for me. If you do this to me, how am I supposed to marry anyone later?"
Of course that was total nonsense. At this point, she could only hope Lucifer didn't treat every other woman exactly the same way… Maybe in Lucifer's eyes, there was no difference between male and female. He just thought everyone was a 'kid'.
Just look at how he hit David. Male or female, he used the same method to spank them. The stronger the person, the harder he hit.
"Marry? You mean you want an excuse to slack off, right? Don't even think about it. My slave can only be mine. You work for me until I don't need you anymore, then you can go wherever you want."
