Chapter 152: Don’t Lie To Me

The Incubus System Chapter 152. Don't Lie To Me

"Do you guys know each other?" Larry's voice broke the silence between us. I never told anyone about Tiffany, including to Larry. Besides, I only met her twice. The first was before my mother married my stepfather and the second was at my mother's second wedding.

"Yes," I said without taking my eyes off her. My heart was beating fast and my feelings were mixed. Since finding Tiffany was tantamount to finding my mother. The problem was I didn't know whether she wanted to tell me or not.

"Long time no see, Ethan," she greeted in a cold voice. From her expression, I could tell she was unhappy to see me, so was I. There was a bitter feeling in my heart because she was able to get my stepfather and my mother's love, while they dumped Celia and me like trash.

"Yes, it's been so long, Tiffany. How have you been?" I said as I kept my composure.

"Good," she answered in a nonchalant tone. She turned to Larry and Emma who were standing in silence since they caught how my mood changed drastically after meeting Tiffany. And I was sure Tiffany had also recognized Larry and Emma as demon hunters just like her.

"Looks like you made some good friends," she said with a smirk. A second later, her expression turned cold again as a breath escaped her mouth.

"Oh well --- since you look fine, I'll assume Celia is also fine and I will end this unuseful conversation here." Then she walked away.

As she had just walked past me a few steps, I spoke again.

"Where do you live now?" I asked straight to the point.

She stopped her steps.

"Why do you want to know about that?"

I clenched my hands, holding back my mixed feelings, remembering what my mother had done to me and Celia.

"Answer me, where's mom?" Even though I kept my voice down, traces of my anger were clear from my tone.

She turned around and gave me a challenging look.

"I'm sorry. You asked the wrong person. How do I know where your mom is?" Despite her words, she said it in a displeased tone. Then she turned around casually and resumed her steps.

I chased her as I gritted my teeth in displeasure and blocked her way. And she stopped in her tracks.

"Don't lie to me. Where's mom?" I said with a glare.

"I don't know," she replied curtly. Then she shifted to the side to get past me, but I also shifted to block her.

She responded with another glare.

"What do you want?"

She pulled her face away from me and smirked in satisfaction with my confusion.

"I have no obligation to tell you." She gave me a polite nod.

"Have a good day, Ethan," she said calmly. Then she walked away, trying to pass me again, but I got in her way. And when she shifted to the side, I shifted to follow her.

"Move," she said with a glare.

"Tell me what happened," I repeated in a firm tone. She was my only clue, I couldn't just let go of her, especially after she played around with me and made me curious.

"I said move," she said in the same glare.

I smirked.

"Make me," I challenged her.

"As you wish," she said confidently. Tiffany lifted her hand to push me

Meanwhile, as soon as Larry caught Tiffany's intention, he almost came over to me since he knew the difference between an ordinary person and a demon hunter's strength. But Emma extended her arm to the side to stop him and shook her head side to side. She knew I could not lose to Tiffany and this was my family problem.

As Tiffany's hand almost landed on me, I caught it. She looked surprised and quickly pulled her hand away, but I didn't budge.

"I'll let you go after you tell me what happened," I said.

"No." The look in her eyes did not change. She tried to push me with her other hand and I caught it with my other hand. Again, when she tried to pull it, I didn't budge.

"Tell me what happened?" My voice was getting higher. My bad thoughts along with questions began to fill my head. Did my mother and stepfather kill Tiffany's mother? That's why they moved out? Then what did she mean by I was living under someone's protection? And why after they left my mother was still able to reach me with the Republic Aeros number?

"Let me go!" she snapped.

"Then answer my question!" I replied with another snap. I lost my temper.

"Ehem!" A man's voice came from our side. At our side, a nurse was standing and looking at us angrily. But I did not turn my face away from Tiffany and our eyes stared at each other like mortal enemies.

"This is a hospital, not a fighting studio. Please get out," said the nurse. Despite his low voice, I knew he was mad at us. Moreover, this was a special treatment room corridor.

"Of course, we're gonna finish this outside. Am I, right, Tiffany?" Again, I said with a glare.

She let out an exasperated sigh since she knew she wouldn't be able to escape from me.

"Fine." After that answer, I loosened my grips and she pulled her hands roughly. Without further ado, she walked past me to the elevator.

I turned to Larry and Emma.

"I'll be right back." Then I went after Tiffany.
