Chapter 278: The Exam Week II

The Incubus System Chapter 278. The Exam Week II

And Mrs Clea… After her sudden visit two weeks ago, she didn’t interrogate me or make a move anymore. Well, she was busy at headquarters due to my Ritual so I was pretty sure she didn’t have time to do any further investigations about me. Also, she treated me much warmer now. Rather than acting as an ordinary neighbour like before, she showed her attention for me and Celia more openly. Sometimes she invited us to have dinner at her house or sent us some cookies. I could only guess, maybe she felt guilty and wanted to give me moral support after finding out about the vacate letter. Or… The Senate didn’t give a fuck to us anymore since all their attention was on those mysterious black hands. As I expected, she used her network to find out where my mother and stepfather were.

Besides that, Mrs Clea also helped me to get rid of Elenna. Since after the last time the cops caught that reporter in front of her house, Elenna never appeared in front of me again or it could be that my Ritual also took her attention. Well, at least my stalker was down by one, although I was pretty sure she wouldn’t give up that easily. And Tiffany, even though I hadn’t seen her yet. Sometimes she texted me to ask how Celia and I were doing. We even promised to hang out together later.

As for my other stalker, Ruby. Although I still caught her following me a few times, she was much better. Instead of sneaking into my house like before, she usually texted me to meet her at the cafe after her work hour. But that didn’t mean our meeting was a ‘normal’ one. Well, it was normal in plain sight, but I knew it wasn’t, since I once caught her drinking my drink right from my lips mark on my glass. Another time, she took my spoon and kept it without cleaning it. I could already imagine what would happen to that poor spoon later. She also took the napkin I had used to clean my mouth. Luckily, she hadn’t taken any reckless actions that could hurt me or my other partners.

As my ears caught the TV’s sounds in the lobby, I stopped my steps.

“Wait for a second,” I said to stop Larry. My attention was diverted to a large public TV with news about Stardustechnologies’ preparation to mass-produce Pearl’s Demon Shield. In addition, the news also announced that Tempestechnologies has succeeded in repairing the bracelet that could imitate Demon hunter’s skills and it was on a strict test to ensure that what happened in the past wouldn’t happen again.

I smiled. Although I could have guessed this from Emma’s father’s interest in our meeting two weeks ago, I couldn’t hide my happiness from my face. The meeting went smoothly, so Pearl and Mr Richard found the deal easily. Another guess, Myra’s bracelet was also one of the reasons why the demon hunter association could get their vaccine supply again. It seemed the supplier was afraid this bracelet would replace their vaccine.

But the deal also had a negative effect on me. Since Pearl had to meet up with Stardustechnologies scientists for her invention, we rarely saw each other lately. Even I had to replace her to manage the Sea Devil Club. Luckily, it wasn’t a hard one and the manager was an honest person. How did I know it? Of course by using my skills. I also learned how to manage the club by reading his mind.

“That’s definitely good news for everyone.” Larry’s voice came from next to me. I looked at him and found the same smile as mine on his face. At least these two devices gave new hope for humans.

“Yeah.” I was glad to see his smile again after his mood turned sour earlier.

“Let’s go,” I said after the news changed into a stupid viral video about how to fix a broken plate with milk. We turned and walked again towards the Cafeteria.

About two weeks ago, I also visited my father’s grave along with Celia and Foxy. And somehow… I felt very different this time. The melancholic feeling was unbearable. Although I didn’t shed a single tear, I ended up telling everything as if my father was by my side. I even whispered that Myra– the one who killed him has received a painful punishment more than death. As for the others… I also confessed to Celia about the vacate letter and it broke her into tears more than when I told her about Myra. That didn’t mean she took the bitter truth of my father’s death lightly. But Myra was an outsider so Celia could understand why Myra had the heart to do it. But my mom… Celia didn’t believe that my mother could go that far even though we were her biological child.

As I expected, after she found out about it, Celia was depressed for a while. I was so grateful I didn’t say this when she was still in her exam week. After that confession, I caught her crying a few times in dad’s room. But luckily, Yuffy and Luna who had moved into my house made Celia get up from her slump faster. Their presence also made our house more lively, although we still had to play cat and mouse with Mrs Clea. Besides that, they also helped me to teach Foxy to fight and brought her to the real battle as her training. Now, she was much stronger than ever.

And the last good news was, Ivy, Olivia and Camila finally took over the entire Nightbough. corp. Unfortunately, just like Pearl’s, it took a lot of their time. So I couldn’t talk to them much either. As for Ian and the others, I had freed them from my skill and altered their memory a bit, so they were not my slaves anymore. But since they were Miguel’s subordinates and it was Ivy who took Miguel’s place so… Actually it was the same thing. They were still served under me. The difference was, this time they served me with their full consciousness. And Miranda, the maid. She had been returned to work as a maid under Myra.

Although my partners’ busyness made me feel lonely, I couldn’t complain to them since my exam week and the Ritual schedule also took my attention and time. Good thing, Pearl invited me and Celia to a Gala Dinner at a luxury hotel tonight, including my servants. She said it was a small party to celebrate everything that they had been through for the past few weeks. Well… I was guessing it wasn’t just a normal Gala Dinner since she said she was going to give me a surprise.

“That test has made me spend the last drop of my brain fluid. I think I will order two menus today,” Larry said as we queued at the cafeteria counter. His voice broke my thoughts. His eyes stared at the big board of menu lists for a while.

“I think I’ll take grilled chicken with mashed potato and a bowl of caesar salad. How about you?”

I scanned the menu for a while.

“Chicken avocado pita bread.” I chose to have a simple meal.

And Larry replied by looking at me in surprise, just like when I suddenly found him studying.

“What with that nasty look?” I complained with a frown. There was nothing wrong with my words.

“I thought you would choose unhealthy food again. But I was wrong…” A tap landed on my shoulder as he raised his other thumb. A teasing grin on his face.

“I’m so proud of you, buddy.” He looked like a proud father when he saw his son graduate. While I replied with a flat stare since my diet wasn’t that bad, at least in my opinion. Well, I rarely ate this kind of food, but that didn’t mean I always ate unhealthy food.
