Chapter 153: Riddles And Puzzles

The Incubus System Chapter 153. Riddles And Puzzles

Finally, we decided to talk near the quiet parking lot. I chose this place on purpose, in case my mother and stepfather really killed Tiffany's mother. But I hoped my guess was wrong.

"Now tell me, what happened? What do you mean by saying you don't want to live with lunatics who killed your mom?" I started our conversation. My eyes on Tiffany who stood in front of me. While her eyes stared at the faint red marks on her wrists.

She lifted her head and looked at me suspiciously. But instead of answering my question, she said strange things.

"Salvation."

"Huh?" I frowned in confusion.

"Salvation," she repeated.

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to avoid my question?" I asked in a displeased tone.

She frowned and I could catch the confusion on her face.

"Am I wrong?" she muttered. Her eyes returned to the red marks on her wrists.

Feeling that she was starting to suspect my unusual strength, I tried to explain to her.

"Look, I'm sorry about your wrists. I've been learning martial arts lately, but I didn't mean to hurt you." I admitted I lost my cool earlier, that's why I lost my control over my strength a bit.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Although she still looked at me suspiciously, she finally covered the red marks with her jacket sleeves.

"Is that so?" she replied lightly followed by a long breath coming out of her mouth.

"So what's your question?" I guessed she didn't pay attention to my words earlier.

"What do you mean by saying you don't want to live with lunatics who killed your mom?" I repeated my question. After their divorcement, Tiffany's mother lived in a different place but remained near my stepfather's apartment. Since she could not accept her divorcement and still wanted to be close to Tiffany. My father actually couldn't accept his divorcement either, but he decided to take the bitter pill and let my mother go. But despite his pain, father apologized to me and Celia for his failure to keep mom with us.

"That's a long story. But I'm going to tell you the outline since I don't want you to equate me with that crazy couple." A breath came out of her mouth.

"After we moved to Lightglen City, I had a hard time meeting my mom. I thought she was angry with me. She even blocked my contact. And when I went to her house, the neighbours said she had moved out shortly after us. Two months after that, my cellphone broke, so I took it to a repair shop and the technician said he found a small device there. " I could see her eyes filled with anger.

"That device changed my cellphone settings and made my mom and I block each other. After that, I asked the technician to sent all blocked messages and calls to my cellphone." She took a deep breath, trying to swallow her anger and sadness.

"And I found hundreds of my mom's messages and calls there ..."

She paused for a moment, trying to calm herself down. While I could only be silent since I did not expect my question would dig up the wound in her heart. But I needed to find out what was going on.

"From one of her messages, I found her new address and found that my dad had lied to her by saying we moved to Saltmire Town. When I went to her house ..." I could see her eyes began to tear up.

"I could only find her corpse ..."

My eyes widened in shock. Now I understood her anger and hatred.

"Did she ..." I could not continue my words, but another guess crossed my head.

"She committed suicide and no one noticed it ..." she continued sadly. Saltmire Town was a small town with sparsely populated homes and residents, maybe that's why her neighbours didn't notice it. Moreover, she was a newcomer.

"Yes. Thank you for telling me." Actually, I was quite unsatisfied with her answer, but I didn't think I could get more than this.

"Alright. Then, I'll excuse myself."

She just turned around but I called her name.

"Tiffany ..." She stopped.

"I apologize for what I did before," I said. Previously I thought badly of her, but I never thought she also experienced bad things like me.

"It's fine. I'm used to it," she replied in a nonchalant tone without turning to me.

"Um ... You still remember my address, right? If you have time, you can come over for dinner with me and Celia," I said in hesitation. I was not sure she would take it, but at least I tried. Tiffany was the only child, so she was probably living alone and though I hated her or rather envy her because my mother treated her differently from me and Celia, after all, she was my stepsister. Moreover after hearing her story, now I felt sorry for her.

She let out a condescending chuckle.

"Ethan, you are the same as your dad." She turned to me.

"You are too kind."

"Thank you for your compliment," I said with a smile. I remembered that she had only met my father twice, but it seemed like she knew my father better because they were both demon hunters.

"It's not a compliment, Ethan. I just pointed out your weakness."

"Calm down, I don't always act like this. I know who my friends are and who my enemies are," I said with a smirk.

"That's good ---" Before she finished her sentence, suddenly, I could smell the faint stinking stench. An announcement with a red box appeared in front of me.

[!!! Warning !!! ]

[Another Demon detected!]

Meanwhile, I could hear vibration from Tiffany and I was sure it was her Demon Compass. That's why she stopped her words. We stiffened as our eyes searched for the demon. While our brains were looking for a way, how could we face this demon without exposing our identities?
