Chapter 127: Night Visit I

The Incubus System Chapter 127. Night Visit I

As soon as I came out of my portal, I was already in my room and had deactivated my Demonic Form.

[The portal has closed! ]

My hand took off my cap and tossed it to bed nonchalantly. Then I turned to my desk, my eyes fixed on the family photo there.

”Dad ...” I muttered with a gloomy gaze. My emotions flared up a bit when Mrs Clea asked my reason and what I wanted because it reminded me that a demon like me shouldnʼt stay in the human world.

I took a deep breath to get rid of my bad thoughts. I didnʼt have time to think about this since there were too many things I had to deal with, after all, changes would continue to happen and these crack problems werenʼt clear yet. My hand took Damianʼs cellphone to call Emma, but there were several missed calls and a message on it. I opened it.

Mia: Damian, where are you? Are you alright?

I remembered I had sent an incomplete message.

Me: Iʼm fine. Iʼm sorry, I was in a hurry before.

Remembering the previous incident, I decided to warn her once again.

Me: Mia, the demonʼs attack got worse lately. You should be careful.

After sending that message, I opened my contact folder and called Emma, hoping she wasnʼt asleep yet. I had to find out more information about Myra as soon as possible. While about Camila and Olivia, even though I wanted to contact them now, I was afraid it would only complicate things up. Miguel was probably watching them.

After several ringtones, she finally picked up my call.

”Hello?”

”Hello, Emma. Sorry for disturbing you at night. I have an important thing to ask. Can I meet you now?” I said.

”Did something happen?” she suspected.

”Itʼs about Myra Richwing,” I replied.

She was silent for a moment.

”Emma?” I asked again.

”Since you want to talk about her, can we meet in my room?” Looks like she thought I could go to her room with my portal skill.

”I canʼt open my portal to places Iʼve never been,” I explained as short as I could.

”Besides---Is that okay? I mean, will your dad allow it? ” I made sure. I needed to visit her house this late and come in like a normal guest. Although I knew the reason for choosing that place was because we needed a private place to discuss everything related to the Association, I was sure there were plenty of maids and servants in her house, also her father.

”As long as youʼve been there, you can come back with your portal skill, right?” she made sure.

I quickly got her point. She wanted to take me to her room just for a moment. After that, I could open my portal there and we could talk in private.

”Of course.”

”Do you know where my district is?”

”Wuhedrig district,right?” Wuhedrig district was the rich peopleʼs district in Nighthallow City.

”Yes. Where can I pick you up?”

I paused to think and got it right away.

”How about at the bus stop?” I asked. That district was filled with rich people and they had their own private vehicles. The bus stop should be quieter than other districts.

”Okay. Wait for me. Iʼll ask my chauffeur to pick you up,” she said.

”See ya later.”

I was just about to be hung up, but she stopped me.

”Ah, wait!” Looks like she just remembered something.

”Are you gonna come as Ethan or Damian?”

”Iʼll come as Ethan,” I said. Damianʼs face had already appeared on the news today, it would be really bad if someone noticed and reported it to the reporters. Especially if Miguel and Myra found out that I was still roaming around.

”Okay.”

”See ya.” After those words, I hung up.

Though it was too early, I put my cellphone in my pocket, took Pearlʼs Demon Shield bracelet and reached out my hand, imagining Wuhedrig districtʼs bus stop as my destination.

ʼPortal.ʼ

[Set your destination.]

ʼWuhedrig districtʼs bus stop, Nighthallow City.ʼ

[The destination has been set.]

A portal that resembled a small black hole opened in front of me.

[The portal has opened! ]

Quickly, my feet stepped into the portal. I took my head out of the portal and looked around, making sure no one was around, since I rarely came here. Luckily, this area had a lot of shady trees so I could open my portal behind one of those and as expected this bus stop district was empty. My feet stepped out after making sure everything was safe.

[The portal has closed! ]

I stepped my feet out of the trees towards the bus stop near me. The night wind messed up my hair and brushed my face as my eyes looked around me. The houses or rather mansions with large courtyards were around me with high luxurious fences, very different from the District where I lived in which was dominated by small houses and narrow courtyards.

ʼI wonder why I ended up having relationships with some women who had more wealth far beyond mine,ʼ I thought. Though I knew this was triggered by my change, I never thought I would have so many complicated relationships before.

If I was the old Ethan, maybe I wouldnʼt dare to visit Emmaʼs house or be close to her cause I felt unworthy of her. But things were different now.

A luxurious black car stopped in front of me and a man in a neat suit came out of it.

”Good evening, sir. Are you Ethan Strongheart?” he asked politely.

”Yes, I am.”

”Let me introduce myself. My name is Adam. I am Miss Emmaʼs butler,” he said with a smile.

”Oh, okay,” I said. I didnʼt expect Emma to have a butler. But well, she was Stardustechnologiesʼ ownerʼs only daughter, of course, she had this privilege.

”Please come in.” The butler opened the car door and gestured to get into the car as he lowered his head.

”Thank you.” I stepped into the car and he closed the car door. While he sat on the side of the chauffeur.

The car moved through a quiet road with shady trees on the side of the street. My eyes looked at the window, staring at the huge mansions that could not be covered by the high fence that bordered their yard. My heart started pounding as the car was getting closer to my destination. If I just needed to meet Emma I wouldnʼt be this nervous. But Emmaʼs father would be there, right? What should I tell him if he asked about our relationship? I didnʼt mind admitting it since Emma also already accepted me as I am, but I was not sure with her father. His wife was killed by demons and if he found out that his daughter was having a relationship with a demon, he would kill me for sure!

As the car stopped, my eyes widened in shock. The mansion gate, no ... The entire mansion was surrounded by a blue transparent barrier, which indicated that the entire mansionʼs fences were protected by the same magic technology as the anti-demon door. The butler got out of the car, went to a scanner in front of the gate and put his palm there.

The gate opened, he returned to the car and the car moved through the gate and the barrier without difficulty. I was silent in amazement and relieved since I knew that the anti-demon door used the demon detector as its guide.

ʼI donʼt know what happens if I canʼt deactivate my Demonic Aura.ʼ I could imagine the demon hunters would detect my presence and hunt me before I could understand about this system.

The car stopped at the front door. Swiftly, the butler got out of the car and opened the door for me. As soon as I got out, Emma greeted me with a smile.

”Good evening, Ethan.” She was wearing a simple white dress with a little lace at the bottom. Somehow, it suited her skin tone.

”Good evening, Emma. Iʼm sorry for disturbing you this late.”

”Itʼs okay. Letʼs go in. My dad said he wanted to see you,” she said calmly.

In an instant, my heart was beating fast since what I feared came true.
