Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 249: Chapter248-John's Whereabouts



The Archdemon's words were filled with temptation.

One must know, the Demon Realm was no less expansive than the plane Owen currently resided in—perhaps even more vast and abundant in resources. If he could seize control of the Demon Realm, it would be of tremendous benefit to him.

However, such benefits could only be enjoyed if one survived to claim them.

"I understand your desire to rescue your sister from the Demon Abyss, but that place is far too dangerous. The Immortal Devilvine is a terrifying creature left behind by an ancient Dark God King. Perhaps you should consider other options?"

Owen tentatively suggested.

With his system and the Godslayer Staff enhancing his power, Owen's current plan was to steadily improve his strength rather than take such a massive risk.

Seeing Owen's reluctance, the Archdemon fell silent for a moment, and then her expression suddenly grew much more serious, as if she had reverted back to the high and mighty Archdemon she once was.

"There is another way. I could allow myself to wither and die as my lifespan runs out, and my sister might perish in the Abyss as well. But the ruler of the Demon Realm must be a member of the Alanis family."

"If you are unwilling to take the risk, then leave your bloodline. I will use my remaining years to nurture a new Archdemon!"

Owen was stunned upon hearing this.

It seemed the Archdemon had already anticipated his refusal.

Forcing him into marriage was all for this purpose!

"Then... why did you resist so much earlier?"

Owen asked abruptly.

The Archdemon's struggle just now was not some sort of flirtatious resistance; it was a genuine refusal from the very core of her being.

This seemed to contradict what she was saying now.

The Archdemon's cheeks flushed slightly as she coughed twice and replied, "As the Archdemon, I can only be the one forcing others. How could I let anyone force me?"

"And besides, if we're going to do it, I must be on top!"

Owen's mouth twitched at her words. This Archdemon was truly someone with an overbearing sense of pride.

He gradually pieced together her entire plan.

From the very beginning, starting with Madelyn, she had been plotting for this moment.

No matter what he chose, through marriage, she would bind herself to him deeply. By that point, he would have no way to back out.

The Archdemon was ruthless. To achieve her goals, she didn't even hesitate to put herself into the equation.

"So, what's your choice?"

"To venture into the Abyss and bring back my sister?"

"Or to leave your bloodline?"

The Archdemon looked at Owen with some apprehension.

Meeting her gaze, Owen shook his head slightly, "I don't want to choose either!"

The moment these words left his mouth, the Archdemon's cold aura surged instantly. "Owen, you pig-headed idiot!"

But at that exact moment, the tightly closed bridal chamber door was suddenly kicked open by Madelyn, who stormed in furiously.

Owen had promised her earlier that he would only interrogate the Archdemon for her true motives and would never betray her sister.

But now, the commotion coming from inside the room was so suggestive that even she blushed at the thought of it. It was utterly indecent!

Yet when she barged in, she was taken aback for a moment.

Although the two of them were a bit disheveled, it didn't seem like they had gone all the way.

However, at this moment, Owen was pressing down on the Archdemon, and the two were staring at each other with gazes that practically crackled with tension!

"Owen, you liar!"

Madelyn pointed angrily at Owen. "You said it was just an act! How could you take it seriously?"

Caught in the act by his sister-in-law, Owen felt a bit embarrassed and wronged. He hadn't done anything at all. He was being falsely accused.

"Why are you here? I was just following the plan..."

Owen began to explain, but before he could finish, the Archdemon suddenly flipped over, sitting beside him as she pretended to straighten her clothes pitifully, fanning the flames.

"Madelyn, you have no idea! Just now, he forcibly tore off my clothes. Is this what a true gentleman would do? You really misjudged him."

Seeing the Archdemon playing the victim, Madelyn's anger flared even more.

"Isn't today's mess all because of you? What is your goal? Why do you insist on marrying Owen?"

"What's so special about Owen..."

Her voice faltered a little as she spoke.

After all, she had to admit that Owen's excellence was far beyond comparison to others.

She even regretted, at times, breaking off the engagement from the marriage competition in the past. Otherwise, she could be happily living with Owen right now.

But then she thought of Leslie's cold gaze, and a chill ran down her spine.

She had always felt an instinctive fear towards Leslie since childhood. It wasn't that Leslie

bullied her, but rather a bloodline suppression between sisters.

Because of this, even when she later developed feelings for Owen, she didn't dare reveal them.

She only thought of helping her sister maintain this relationship.

As Madelyn's momentum weakened, Owen sighed in relief. He didn't want Leslie to misunderstand and fly into a rage, turning into a murderous demon.

"You'd better watch yourself. I still want to call you brother-in-law!"

After saying that, Madelyn turned and stormed out of the bridal chamber, slamming the doorn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

behind her in a huff.

Seeing Madelyn leave, Owen was about to chase after her to explain a few things, but the Archdemon grabbed his wrist and smiled softly.

"What's this? It's the wedding night, and you want to go somewhere?"

Huh?

Something felt off. Wasn't she just resisting moments ago?

Why had she suddenly changed her attitude?

The look in her eyes was practically smoldering, almost overwhelming him.

No, something wasn't right. This Archdemon seemed intent on "devouring" him.

He tried pulling his wrist back, but found it immobile. At the same time, the Archdemon's aura recovered and began to suppress him.

"What... what are you trying to do? I already have Leslie. I warn you, don't act rashly."

"Heh, since you refused the two options I offered, I'll have to make my own choice."

The Archdemon narrowed her eyes as she appraised Owen.

"Compared to risking a venture to find my sister, leaving your bloodline is the safer option.

The more you resist, the more excited I get."

Owen swallowed hard. He knew there were no normal people in the Demon Realm, and the Archdemon was clearly the most abnormal of them all.

Earlier, when he was in control, she wasn't willing.

Now that she was in control, she would definitely follow through on her plan.

After all, she was someone ruthless enough to even scheme against herself.

The next moment, Owen felt like he was being pounced on by a wild beast. The Archdemon's exquisite and slightly devilish face loomed closer and closer.

This position seemed familiar-only, before, he was on top, and now the roles were reversed.

Bang!

Suddenly, as the Archdemon was about to unbutton Owen's shirt, the bridal chamber door

was kicked open again.

Madelyn had returned, reappearing in the room. She was about to speak when she saw the Archdemon lying amorously on top of Owen, their faces inches apart.

"You two... really are having an affair!"

Interrupted at the critical moment, the Archdemon's resolve crumbled instantly.

When it came to this matter, she really couldn't bring herself to go through with it.

Though she had some feelings for Owen, it wasn't to that extent yet.

With a flicker, she appeared atop a nearby table in the bridal chamber. Freed from the Archdemon's hold, Owen quickly approached Madelyn, awkwardly saying:

"Cough, I was just about to find you. Since you're here, I'll just say it: after tonight, we'll enter the Demon Abyss together."

As soon as Owen spoke, both Madelyn and the Archdemon widened their eyes, staring at him

in disbelief.

Though Madelyn wasn't a native of the Demon Realm, she knew enough to understand that

even god-tier mages regarded the Demon Abyss as an untouchable Forbidden Zone.

What did Owen want to do there?

And he wanted to bring them along?

The Archdemon, after a moment of shock, had a glimmer in her eye. She understood what

Owen's words meant.

He seemed to be planning to venture into the Demon Abyss to rescue her sister.

But Owen had clearly rejected this idea earlier.

Why had he suddenly changed his mind?

Under the gaze of the two women, Owen squinted slightly, looking at the system screen in

front of him.

Just moments ago, the system had notified him that the protagonist from the anime, John, was currently in the Demon Abyss, receiving the Dark God's Legacy!

And Owen remembered that John's reward included one million fate points and universe-tier

magic!
