The Incubus System Chapter 206. I Know You were There

”I came here to see you. Can we talk for a moment?” said Elenna with a smile.

”Go ahead,” I said in a nonchalant tone. Emma already knew my relationship with Diamond. While Olivia was with Larry when Diamond called me to her office last week. Also, Elenna couldnʼt possibly have known that yesterdayʼs demon was me.

Her gaze shifted at Emma and Olivia alternately before returning to me. Her objection was clear on her face.

”I mean privately,” she said again.

I frowned in objection.

”Why? We just met recently and donʼt have any secrets. Why do we have to talk in private?” Since she asked me to speak privately, I guessed she was still curious about the Cretunt Bridge incident and still thought I was a demon hunter.

”But I canʼt say it here,” she insisted.

”I believe I have the right to refuse, Miss Elenna. Besides, I know you donʼt have permission to come and do an interview today. So here or not at all,” I said with a confident smile.

Olivia turned to me in confusion.

”Interview?” she asked.

”Yeah. Sheʼs a reporter and she interviewed me yesterday,” I replied.

”About what? Shouldnʼt they only interview Miss Diamond? ” asked Olivia again.

”I donʼt mind telling you, but Iʼm sure youʼll laugh because of it,” I said in a casual tone.

”Cʼmon, tell us,” said Olivia curiously.

”She thinks Iʼm a demon hunter, thatʼs why she interviewed me.”

After those words left my mouth, a burst of laughter escaped from Emmaʼs mouth. She covered her mouth with her hand to hold it back and turned her face to the side to cover it up, but it was in vain since her laughter was still clear. Of course, it was funny since she was a demon hunter and she knew my true identity. Assuming a demon like me as a demon hunter was certainly very funny for her.

Meanwhile, Olivia was speechless and smiled awkwardly at me. In posture, my body was far from the word ʼgallantʼ, like most demon huntersʼ postures. Even though she knew I could fight, as most people know, she thought demons could only be defeated by special skills that required magic power. Also, Olivia was a martial artist, so she knew that people who could fight didnʼt mean they could win against demons.

- Bang!

Elenna hit our table with her palm hard with an unhappy face. It shook my cup and spilt some of my coffee on the table. The loud banging sound made the students around us turn to us and stopped Emmaʼs laughter. While Olivia glared at Elenna.

”Then why didnʼt you run away from the Nighthallow Station yesterday?! Why did you come back to the Station even though you were outside?!” said Elenna unhappily. It looks like she was annoyed since we made fun of her. Moreover, her age was older than ours.

I frowned in confusion at her statement. But I guessed maybe she saw Foxy enter the Station to chase Celia.

Before I could answer, Olivia got up from her chair. Her eyes stared at Elenna with displeasure.

”You know? Youʼre really rude for a reporter. Maybe I should report you to your boss,” she said in the same displeasure as Elenna.

Elenna smirked and folded her arms across her chest in a relaxed manner.

”Iʼm the boss, little girl. What are you gonna do? Do you want to go to your papa and report me?” she said in a mocking tone.

Olivia was stunned after hearing those words and I caught the sadness in her eyes. I was not sure Elenna knew Olivia was the owner of Nightbough. corpʼs daughter and knew she didnʼt mean to hurt Olivia with her words, but it angered Emma and me.

I got up from my chair and glared at Elenna with displeasure.

”I changed my mind. Iʼm not interested in answering your question. Please leave us,” I said in a firm tone.

”I refuse,” she insisted.

Emma suddenly spoke.

”Ethan was with me when that incident happened.” She got up from her seat and looked at Elenna unhappily. Her hand grabbed Oliviaʼs hand tightly.

”We visited our friend at Nighthallow Hospital and only found out about the incident after we returned from there. As you know, Nighthallow Hospital is very far from Nighthallow Station, how can he be in two different places at the same time? ” Although her tone sounded calm, her anger was clear from her voice.

Elenna gave her a chuckle.

”Nice try, but your little lies wonʼt work.”

”If you donʼt believe it, how about checking the hospital CCTV? Since you are the boss, Iʼm sure you can get their permission easily,” I challenged her. The Nighthallow Stationʼs CCTVs were broken when I arrived, it looks like it was the Hounds that broke it. And since Foxy didnʼt say anything about this, I guessed Elenna only caught a glimpse of her and decided to follow her into the station. Since she didnʼt have any clear evidence, I just needed to prove my existence elsewhere.

She sighed with a frown.

”Ethan, I know you were there. I just wanted to ask a few things to you.”

”It has something to do with your assumption that I am a demon hunter, right? I already said I am not one of them,” I said without lowering my voice, letting the students near us listen to my words, proving that I was not afraid of this since I really was not a demon hunter.

”Then why after you entered the station you didnʼt come out again?” she continued to chase my explanation.

I sighed in annoyance.

”So you still donʼt believe me. How about this? Weʼll talk again after you check the Nighthallow Hospital CCTV footage. If you donʼt find me there, Iʼll accept your interview,” I challenged her again.

Elenna pressed her lips after seeing my confidence for a while.

”The footage doesnʼt prove anything,” she finally spoke in doubt as her confidence faded.

I let out a chuckle.

”Right ... Earlier you said I was at Nighthallow Station. Now you say even if the hospital footage shows I was there, it doesnʼt prove anything. Your assumption is totally groundless. Or do you think I can split in two like an amoeba?” I said with a frown.

She fell silent again. I could see her doubts clear on her face. As we fell silent, two securities headed for Elenna.

”Excuse me, miss. You are prohibited from coming here. Please follow us.” Although they spoke politely, their threats were clear. It was just that they had to be careful since Elenna was a reporter, she could twist the facts and write bad things about the college.

Feeling strange with the two securities, since they usually only came when someone reported something to them, I glanced around the Cafeteria and caught some CCTVs there.

ʼI see ... Sheʼs watching me. I should reward her later. ʼ I could say Diamond helped us on time since if Elenna kept pushing, I planned to use my Manipulation skill on her. But that could make her suspicion of me increase.

Elenna took a deep breath before returning her gaze to me.

”Fine. I will check the hospital CCTV footage to prove what you said. If you are wrong, you have to accept my interview.”

”With pleasure,” I replied.

”See you later, Ethan.” Then Elenna turned at Emma and Olivia in turn.

”And you too.” She turned around and walked toward the exit accompanied by the securities.
