Chapter 218: Am I That Scary?

The Incubus System Chapter 218. Am I That Scary?

Ethan's PoV

Half an hour had passed since I parted ways with Emma and the others from the cafe. The crowd left the buildings around the area neatly, guided by the police and rescue team. Some of them looked scared and traumatic. Some reported to the police to search for their separated loved ones or friends. Some members of the rescue team helped a few pale-faced people walk slowly to the ambulance to check them up and make sure they were okay, one of them was that Jordan guy who tried to take my photo earlier. He looked scared, I even could see his body trembling just because I called his name and threatened him a bit. I had no other choice but to do it to protect my identity. I had to set an example so that the others didn't try to take my photos anymore. I thought a little bit of threat shouldn't be a problem, who knew he would fall into such fright. Well, on second thought, since I threatened him after showing I could kill those two Nefarious Imps effortlessly, of course, he was terrified. Who knew what I could do to him and his family later.

The other police team and the rescue team inspected the area to make sure there were no other victims here. And some of them found me in the alley near the previous cafe. Luckily, I had returned to my human form and put on my sweater. My bag on my shoulder.

"Are you okay, kid?" asked the rescue team in worry. His eyes were observing me, just to make sure I was okay. Previously, I pretended to be hiding behind a large garbage bin with the excuse that I was too late to run into one of the buildings. Since all the rolling doors were already closed, I had no other choice but to hide in this place.

"I-I'm fine, sir," I said in a slightly stammering voice. I had to pretend since it wasn't normal if someone wasn't afraid after experiencing this terrifying incident. Moreover, my hiding place was the worst one.

"Come with us. We'll check on your health," said the rescue team.

"I-I'm really okay, sir. You should look after another victim," I replied in the same tone. I couldn't let him check me since my body was different from ordinary humans.

A rescue team tapped me on the back in a friendly manner.

"We just want to make sure you're fine. Besides, we haven't found any victims in this incident," he said with a smile.

"Yeah, the demon hunters have worked hard. At least we want to give our best to make sure no one gets hurt," said the other rescue team.

"O-Okay," I finally agreed to avoid their suspicions. But of course, I wouldn't let them check on me.

"Follow me," said the friendly rescue team.

I nodded and walked following him to the nearest ambulance. While others continued to inspect the area.

We arrived at the ambulance. There was no one else there other than that Jordan guy who was sitting in the back of the ambulance and a medical worker who was sitting as he was playing with his cellphone in the car. It seemed since no one was injured in this incident then the victims had been allowed to go home. Except for Jordan, since his face was still pale from shock and his body was still trembling even though it was not as bad as before. Occasionally he took a sip of the warm tea in his hand to calm himself down, his eyes looked at the street anxiously.

"Just get inside. He won't bite you," said the rescue team with another pat on my back.

"Thank you, sir." After that, I walked into the ambulance, while the rescue team remained in his position and just left to join his other friends after making sure I was sitting in front of the medical worker.

The medical worker put down his cellphone and gave me a reassuring smile to disperse my nervousness.

"Just relax, I just want to make a quick check-up. If I don't find any problem with your health, you can go home," he said.

"Yes, sir," I said. My eyes fell on Jordan to make sure he wasn't looking at us. Then without warning, I looked at the medical worker's eyes as I used my skill.

He turned to me and gave me a serious look.

"About that demon," he made his point.

"I mean --- That demon is so powerful and I know he has protected us but ..." His hesitation appeared on his face, his eyes moving from side to side in confusion.

"You've seen it, haven't you? What if he's mad at me? What if he plans to chase me and target my family? He can even find out my name in just one glance." His fear was clear from his voice. He let out a long sigh of regret.

"I shouldn't try to take his photos in the first place."

"I think you are just overthinking. In my opinion, he just gave you a warning since he didn't like someone taking his photo," I tried to calm him.

"I'm not overthinking! Can't you see how he looked at me? He will kill me!" he retorted.

"He will definitely kill me ..." he repeated in a calmer tone and full of regret. From his eyes, it was clear that he was confused about what he had to do.

"Think again. If he wanted to kill you, why didn't he kill you right away?" I said.

He fell silent. His forehead creased. Obviously, he didn't know how to answer my question.

Seeing his reaction, I spoke again.

"See? You're just overthinking. Don't think too much of it and take a rest." I ended our conversation with a tap on his shoulder since I could catch Emma out of the candy shop and waved her hand to me.

"Thank you," he said.

"By the way, nice to meet you, Jordan. Later."

"Later." After that word, I walked over to Emma and we walked out of the area. We needed to get to Esrock Port now to carry out my plans. Pearl and my slaves were waiting for me there. But since this place was too crowded, we had to walk away from this area before I could open my portal.

"Am I that scary?" I asked Emma. It was barely called a threat, yet he was that scared.

She took a glance at Jordan before returning her gaze to me and giggled.

"He just saw you kill those two Imps before you threatened him, of course, he's afraid of you," she said in a teasing tone.

I glanced at her.

"Then why don't you fear me when you found out my identity last week?"

She looked at me with a smile.

"Because I believe that the person who has protected me will not hurt me."
