Chapter 210: Worry

The Incubus System Chapter 210. Worry

03.21 PM

Larry and I sat at one of the Cafetaria's tables accompanied by a cheese toasted sandwich for me and an avocado egg sandwich for him. Two cups of tea on our table.

"You should stop eating unhealthy foods like that," he nagged me in a mouthful. Some of his pieces of food fell onto the table.

I swallowed my food and frowned.

"Don't talk when eating. It's disgusting, you know. Besides, this is my first cheese toasted sandwich this year." Even though this was a simple dish, Celia wasn't a fan of cheese, so we rarely bought it.

"Lame excuse," he sneered before taking another bite.

I took my last bite and turned to my other side nonchalantly, ignoring his words. My sight caught Emma walking toward us, strangely she wasn't with Olivia.

"Hey," she greeted me.

"Why are you alone? Where is Olivia?" I asked. My head looked behind her, trying to find Olivia.

"About that ... Can we talk for a moment?" she said with a slightly worried face.

Catching that something happened, I stood up from my chair as my hand wiped my mouth with a napkin.

"Sure."

"Wait!" Larry's voice stopped our steps and made us turn to him. He looked at Emma with a serious gaze.

"I also want to talk to you later." I could guess he wanted to talk about the association.

"Okay."

After that word, we walked to the corner of that room. That place was quieter than our previous table.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Myra called her again," she said with a serious tone.

"Do you know what they were talking about?"

She shook her head from side to side.

"She walked away from me but she kept me in her sight, so I couldn't get near her. She also looked anxious and hesitant during that conversation."

A tired breath came out of my mouth since I didn't expect Olivia to cover it up to this point.

"After that, she left in a hurry. She said she had family matters that she had to take care of and wanted to end her family problems," she said again.

My brows wrinkled and my brain was trying to figure out what Olivia meant.

"Wait a minute. I'll ask one of my subordinates." After those words, I connected myself with Ian.

[You are connected to Ian.]

'Ian, are you with Miguel?'

'Yes, Mr Damian. What can I do for you? 'he replied.

'Did Miguel say anything about meeting Olivia or something?'

'No, sir. Besides, Mr Miguel is in the Nightbough. corp's office right now.'

'Did he contact Myra? Or did Myra call him?'

'He didn't call her. But I don't know if they texted each other. '

I sighed. Of course, Ian couldn't keep an eye on him up to that point.

'What about Camila?'

'Mrs Camila is still in the house, sir.'

Feeling I couldn't find information through Ian, I decided to end our conversation.

'Just keep an eye on him. '

'Okay, sir.'

[You have disconnected with Ian.]

I turned my gaze to Emma and shook my head from side to side, signalling I didn't have a clue either.

"I'm really worried about her ..." muttered Emma.

"Don't worry. She is my partner, if she is in danger my system will tell me," I tried to calm her down.

"That's good," she calmed down.

Then I remembered about the Python and also about Mia who asked for Emma's contact number last night.

"One more thing, has Mia contacted you?"

"Not yet. What's wrong?" she asked.

"I think she's hiding something from me, but I don't know what it is." I glanced at Larry, made sure he didn't see us before I brought my face closer to her.

"I think this has something to do with the association's vaccines," I said in a low voice.

As I moved my face away, I could see Emma's surprise on her face.

"Are you sure?"

"It's just my guess."

"I'll let you know if she texts me."

"Thank you. Let's go back. Looks like Larry wanted to tell you about the association," I said.

She nodded and we returned to my table.

"Olivia ditch you up at the last minute, huh? Even after you asked Emma to beg her," Larry made a wild guess after we got there. His annoying smirk on his lips.

I sat in my seat and replied to him with an annoyed expression.

"Of course not," I retorted curtly.

His annoying smirk went wide.

"Oh, really ~?"

"Larry, what do you want to talk about?" Emma interrupted us.

"Oh, right!" He stood up and they walked away from me.

As I looked at them, my hand took my tea and sipped it. Then I used my skill.

'Check Olivia Creststream's status.'

[Observation skill succeeded.]

[Name: Olivia Creststream] [Age: 18]

[Level 4] [Race: Human]

[HP: 136/136] [MP: 25/25]

[Skills: Power Boost lv 1]

[Emotion: Anxious]

[Love meter: 5/10]

[Condition: Normal]

[Weakness: Chest, Neck, Head]

[Talent: Strong Body]

[Relationship: Incubus' partner]

[Profession: Master of martial arts, College student]

I sighed since there wasn't much information other than her emotions which matched what Emma said.

'Damn ... What should I do now?' The only thing I was worried about was if Myra involved Olivia in her plan. Although this guess sounded a bit exaggerated considering Olivia didn't have as much MP as a demon hunter and didn't have good knowledge in Magic technology like Emma, still ... I was worried about her.

My gaze shifted to the window, staring at the students who were in the courtyard as my mind was thinking about various things in my head. Occasionally, I took a sip of my tea. Even though I was able to draw a clear connection from all these things, I felt something was still missing. No, not only one piece but several. A lot of guesses were in my head, but without evidence, I couldn't say anything. I also found too many similarities between what happened in the demon world and what happened in the human world. Not only about the energy disturbance at the border, but also regarding the demon lords' attack which was close to Myra's dismissal. Even though it was just my guess, it didn't rule out the possibility that it was all connected.

'I have to raise my level to take that Mind Corruption skill quickly.' With that, I could find out this information by reading Myra's mind. I could even use it to read Mia's mind and find out what she was hiding from me, but of course, after I made sure there were no side effects from the skill. So I planned to hunt demons after my early dinner with Larry.

Larry's voice which was followed by a tap on my shoulder turned my gaze to my side.

"I should go now." Then his annoying grin back on his face.

"I have to pick up my --- GIRLFRIEND." Yes, he emphasized his last words in an annoying tone.

I replied with the same annoying smirk as his.

"Oh, I can't wait to see your GIRLFRIEND. I hope you bring a real woman instead of a body pillow," I said in a cynical tone.

"Pfffttt!" He let out an annoying chuckle.

"Sorry, buddy. But you won't be able to beat me this time. Moreover, my GIRLFRIEND is a pampered big sister type. So please don't be jealous."

"Oh, really?" I said in disbelief. I didn't know how long he wanted to dig his own grave since his status was still single.

"We'll see about that."

"Fine," he said with an arrogant grin as if the victory was his. It seemed he still thought that Olivia refused to go to the dinner with me.

"I already made a reservation. But my mom will come to the cafe first to get a nice place for us. You know the place, right?"

"I know."

"Okay, see you there." Then he turned and left.

"Your patience is really something," said Emma with a giggle as she took a seat in front of me.

I chuckled.

"Well, he's trying hard not to look like a pathetic single," I said in a casual tone.

"By the way, what did Larry say to you?" I continued.

Emma sighed.

"It is the same as what Mrs Tania said. It's just their information is less than what we got. They also cut out my suspension and ask me to return to the headquarters tomorrow."

"Good." Cutting Emma's suspension was a good first step since it meant the association had realized they needed as many members as possible.

"I forgot to ask you. Should we take my car to the cafe?" she asked

"It's up to you. But we can use my portal if you want."

"Then I will choose your portal then."
