The Incubus System Chapter 132. Sincerity

I told Emma everything. Told about how my change as an incubus led me to Camila, about how I got caught between Oliviaʼs family affair, about Miguelʼs plan to destroy Camila and about Myra. While Emma listened to all my stories with a shocked expression mixed with anger especially when I told her about Miguelʼs offer.

She exhaled a long breath in annoyance.

”Olivia once told me about her family problems and said that she hated her dad. But I never think her dad was that bad.”

”Does the Demon Hunter have manipulation skills or something?” I asked. Since Myra was an ex-demon hunter maybe she had that kind of skill and when the association neutralized her the skill didnʼt disappear. Thatʼs why she used it for her personal gain and manipulated Miguel.

”We donʼt have that kind of skills,” she said.

From there, I could make sure Miguel wasnʼt under Myraʼs influence.

ʼSo he did it only because he was blinded by his love? Or because of something else? ʼ

Emmaʼs voice interrupted my thoughts.

”Ethan, Iʼm worried about Olivia.”

”Did she contact you?” To be honest, rather than worried about Olivia, I was more worried about Camila.

”Not yet. But I doubt she will contact me. She always tried to solve her family problems alone. And as you know, she has to protect her familyʼs reputation,” she replied. I understood that Olivia and Emmaʼs family company needed public trust to maintain their good reputation. Thatʼs why telling their family scandal was the last thing they wanted to do even if it was their own best friend. This was also why I hadnʼt contacted Olivia and decided to ask her at college tomorrow. Because my question would only hurt her more. Meanwhile, I couldnʼt send messages or call Camila. Miguel could have bugged her cellphone.

I exhaled a long breath.

”Weʼll ask her about it tomorrow,” I said.

”Ethan, are you sure about your plan to frame Oliviaʼs father? I mean if you werenʼt careful Myra could have exposed your identity.”

”As long as sheʼs not a demon hunter, Iʼm not afraid of her. Besides, Iʼve prepared a good plan for them. But I have to destroy their reputation first,” I said with a smirk.

”You know you sound like a villain now.”

I chuckled.

”What do you expect? Iʼm not a Saint.” Maybe Myra was just thinking about how she could fight against demons again after her skills disappeared, but the demon slavery plan was a dangerous thing for me as well for the human world and the demon world.

”Well --- I donʼt blame you for that. They deserve it.” After a short pause, she took her head away from my chest and looked at me deeply.

”Ethan ... Iʼm sorry.”

”Sorry for what?”

”I canʼt give you any information about what happened at headquarters for now,” she said in a regret tone.

I smiled, my index finger swaying the strands of her hair that were blocking her face.

”Itʼs okay. Youʼve helped me a lot.” My heart felt lighter after I talked to her, besides she already gave me a lot of information about the association.

”I donʼt know who I should talk to but you.” I was very grateful she would accept me.

She rubbed the side of my face gently with a smile. I could see her sincerity from her eyes that were looking at me gently.

Then suddenly, I thought about Ruby and decided to ask her.

”Do you know a demon hunter named Ruby?”

She paused for a moment to think.

”Yes, I know her. She is one of the advanced demon hunters and the Demon Hunter Chairmanʼs right-hand man besides your father.” From her explanation, I understood why Ruby was at Mrs Cleaʼs house and acted so familiar with her.

”Sheʼs also Larryʼs ex-mentor,” she continued.

”Pffttt!” I covered my mouth with my hand in reflex to hold my laughter since I didnʼt expect it.

ʼWell, it takes a crazy mentor to handle someone like him.ʼ

”How do you know her?” I knew she didnʼt ask why I was laughing because she already knew why.𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

”I helped her this morning and now sheʼs my stalker,” I replied in a casual tone.

She cringed after hearing my answer.

”Stalker?”

”Yes. She followed me and Celia during our shopping trip this morning. And you know what is crazier? The Demon Hunter Chairman is a woman named Mrs Clea who lives next-door from my house. She is also my dadʼs ex-lover. Maybe if my dad was still alive, she would be my mother now,” I said in the same tone.

Emma looked at me in shock.

”Youʼre kidding, right?”

”Iʼm not kidding.” I knew she said it because I talked as if I was telling someone elseʼs problem.

”I thought, after hearing that a human could turn into a demon, nothing could shock me anymore. Your life is full of surprises.”

”But at least I know the truth about everything,” I said with a shrug. After I became an incubus, I slowly learned the harsh reality that had been hidden from me.

”You have to be careful of them. We donʼt know how strong they are,” she said worriedly.

”Iʼve measured their power.”

”Have you fought them?” she said in disbelief.

”Yes. Ruby isnʼt a problem for me but Mrs Clea ... I canʼt underestimate her.” If Alan wasnʼt hurt and she fought me seriously, I was sure I would have a hard time dealing with her.

”So, they were nice to you when you were Ethan and tried to kill you when you were in this form?” she guessed.

”Well. Iʼm a demon after all. What can I expect? Their warm welcome?” Somehow I got used to this. I let out a short bitter chuckle.

”Maybe they will welcome me if Larry starts working his assignment on his own,” I said. Which meant it was impossible.

Her hand rubbed the side of my face gently.

”Donʼt be sad. You have me.” Then she gave me a light kiss on my lips.

”I know ...” I looked at her deeply and felt so lucky that she wanted to understand me.

”Ethan, can I ask you one thing?”

”Say it.”

”Teach me how to fight like you.”

I was quite surprised by her request.

”Emma, you wonʼt-”

She gave me another light kiss on my lips before I finished my sentence.

”I know. You just need to teach me how to control my lance and make it as a weapon.” Her eyes looked at me deeply.

I remembered that Mana Strike and Demonic Spike were very similar, by using Mana Strike as a weapon, she could save a lot of MP.

”Did something happen?” I wondered if she had been attacked by the demons yesterday, but judging from her HP and MP it shouldnʼt be.

”I want to fight together with you,” she said in sincerity.

My heart started pounding.

”But I know Iʼm too weak. Thatʼs why I have to train harder.”

My heart was beating even faster. She wanted to do this for me? For a demon like me?

”Why do you want to do it?” I said unconsciously. My eyes couldnʼt escape from hers.

She looked at me with a frown.

”Of course because I love you, what else?”

I knew she loved me, but I didnʼt expect her to want to go this far.

”I will teach you how. Just tell me when you are ready. But for now ... Can I eat you again?” I could not contain my emotions and feelings that were exploding within me. My body and heart craved for her.

”Didnʼt we just do it? Itʼs that not enough?” she said in confusion. Her face began to turn red.

”No, itʼs not enough. I donʼt think I will ever get enough of you ...”
