The Incubus System Chapter 367. Hallucination or Reality IV
Ethanâs PoV
11.34 PM
My servantsâ laughter accompanied our steps as we passed through my portal.
[The portal has closed! ]
âIt was so hilarious,â Luna said as soon as we arrived at my houseâs living room. Her chuckles sounded between her words.
âDid you see her face?â said Foxy excitedly.
âYeah. She freaked out like crazy,â Ivy replied with giggles.
âHer arrogant face turned pale as soon as she saw my Spectres,â added Yuffy.
âIt suited her,â said Maria with a smirk.
While I listened to their conversation in silence and held my chuckles. We managed to execute my plan successfully, even better than I expected. The plan was quite simple for me since they played the most part. I just acted as the bait and pretended to be out of the Gym building to get Elennaâs attention. After succeeding, I mingled with the crowd to get her subordinatesâ attention. While Ivy used her Manipulation skill to lure Elenna. Once we managed to separate them, I simply let them catch me and accepted their interview.
As for the rest, Foxy played as another Ethan to surprise her and Yuffy summoned her Spectres to scare Elenna. There should only be two demon hunters in my first plan, Luna and Maria. But Ivy decided to play as another demon hunter after her part was finished. I could say they did a good job. Overdid it, maybe. Especially after I saw how freaked out Elenna was. I bet it would cause a real trauma in her. Even if it was a bad thing for her, on the positive side, I hoped Elenna didnât do anything reckless again. I meant, chasing the news while risking her life was the dumbest thing I had ever seen. I hoped this incident could make her value her life more.
Even though the plan was going well. Some things were beyond my expectations. Like Ruby and Larryâs presence. Especially Nathan. I didnât think he would appear and tie me with his Holy Chain just to prove my innocence. But luckily, I could play along and hold my reflex. Even though his warning was irritating me, I was sure it was enough to dismiss the presumption that I was a demon hunter or vice versa. So the spotlight wasnât on me anymore.
But one thing surprised me today⊠It was how Ruby and Larry reacted to what Nathan did to me. Despite their attitude, they did not hesitate to use their skills to protect me and almost attacked Nathan in public. I was sure it almost got them to commit a violation but it made me happy. Emma even said that they were worried that I would be afraid of the demon hunters because of what Nathan did to me. Unfortunately, I could only talk to Emma via Telepathy since she was securing another area. As for Nathan, based on what he did, I could say he was kinda crazy and looked like a villain more than me.
âOh, you guys are home already.â Celiaâs cheerful voice accompanied by her steps down the stairs broke my thoughts and silenced my servants.
âHave you guys met with Elenna? Should we execute the plan now?â said Celia excitedly as soon as she arrived in front of us. I guessed she didnât know that the Ravenetwork had already interviewed me. Well, the reporters had told me it wasnât a live interview. They chose to record it since Elenna wasnât with them. After all, Larry and Ruby forbid them to do a live one.
âWhatâs with this sudden silence?â Celia asked again. Her eyes looked at our guilty faces one by one. The smile on her face started to disappear as she started to sense something was wrong with us.
We glanced at each other and smiled awkwardly.
âUm⊠Actually, due to something unexpected, weâve been carrying out the plan without you,â I admitted.
âWhat? Why? Was this attack that bad?â she whined. Celia looked disappointed since she missed all the fun.
âYes. Even though there are not many victims, the damage is quite severe. Besides, Nathan is there. He will recognize you for sure,â I explained.
âWhat about you? I bet he also recognized you,â Celia complained with a frown.
âI met him as Damian, remember? I reminded her.
She clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes to the side.
âOh Câmon. Ruby is crazy about you and dad was the best demon hunter. Are you sure he doesnât know who you are?â
âAh⊠Sheâs sharp,â I thought. A long breath escaped my mouth.
âHe does recognize me. But that shouldnât be a problem since Iâve never met him before. Also, he only said I should have some guts.â I realized he knew that I was Ethan from there.
Hearing my last words, Celiaâs face turned serious.
âWait⊠Did you fight him?â she guessed.
âYes, in my Demonic Form. But donât worry. I keep Ethan Strongheartâs name as a good citizen,â I reassured her. Although it sounded simple, it would not only affect me. But also Celia and the people around me.
âI seeâŠâ Celia said in relief. Still, that didnât mean her disappointment had disappeared. She lowered her head a bit.
âI wonder if there will be another same opportunity in the future,â she muttered.
Foxy took the initiative to hug her in hope that Celia would feel better.
âIâm not sure about that. I bet Elenna doesnât want to know anything related to demons anymore now,â said Luna bluntly since she didnât want to give Celia empty hopes.
âYeah . . . Actually, Iâm pretty surprised she didnât pass out earlier,â Ivy added, just to tell how badly they had done it.
Another long breath left my mouth.
âYou guys overdid it,â I warned them. Luckily Elenna didnât have any congenital illness or anything that could kill her.
âAnd you guys look happy about itâŠâ Celia said with a pout.
âWell, it canât be helped. We are demons after all,â reasoned Maria with a shrug.
âOkay. Since the game is over, I think we should move into a real thing now,â I tried to change the topic.
âLike⊠Another sex play?â teased Ivy. Which was followed by a giggle from my other servants. Yeah, we just finished doing our night Ritual.
âNo. I want to discuss a few things since Lord Damon has permitted me to go to the Dark Dimension in two days,â I said straight to the point.
My words managed to turn all my servantsâ faces into a serious one and made Celia look at me in surprise.
âWhat did you say?â she said in disbelief.
