Chapter 633: Ow! Ow! Ow!
The Incubus System Chapter 623. Ow! Ow! Ow!
"I have to." I muttered. "I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you've done for me," I said, turning to the side before meeting his gaze again. "You have done so much for me, and I am truly grateful." I held my words as I remembered that I haven't even told my real identity yet. It built another guilt in my heart. But for sure, I knew what to do with his wounds.
Larry smiled and poked my shoulder with his fist. "Stop making that face," he said, joking around as usual. "It's disgusting. Aren't you tired of making others think that we're more than friends?"
I couldn't help but smile at his joke. "You're right," I said, shaking my head.
"Besides, this is my choice. This is what all heroes do," Larry said, taking another bite of his croissant nonchalantly without using his eating utensils. But as he opened his mouth, he grimaced in pain again. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" I bet the wound hurt him. Still, he ate it while I was staring at him worriedly. "I should have ordered the chocolate one," he commented, rubbing his jaw.
"You know, I'm surprised your dad and mom haven't said anything about your wounds," I said, changing the subject. "Where is your dad, anyway?"
"Oh, he's gone again," Larry said, rolling his eyes. "Duty called. And my mom I managed to lie to her." He grinned proudly.
"What did you tell her?" I asked curiously.
Larry took another big bite of his croissant before speaking again. "I told her that I had a fight with Ruby and she slapped me in the face," he said, shrugging carelessly as he gestured to his wounds. "That's why I got all of this. And she believed me." He closed the conversation with a quiet chuckle, his mouth still full of food.
I cringed at his explanation, feeling a sense of disgust wash over me. "Is that kind of similar to what actually happened?" I asked, skepticism in my voice.
Larry looked at me, confusion on his face. "What are you talking about? It's completely different," he said in a casual tone.
"What's different is that Ruby didn't just slap you, but she beat you up and you never dated her," I pointed out, trying to make sense of the situation. "And I'm surprised your mom didn't report her to the police."
Larry sighed and shrugged. "Actually, she almost did, but I managed to stop her," he admitted, looking a little sheepish.
"Don't worry. I'll handle it," Larry said confidently, giving me a thumbs up.
We decided to change the subject and spent the next hour catching up on what we had been doing over the holidays. Larry told me a lot about the demon hunter association, carefully disguising it as just a game. He mentioned an annoying higher-up official, whom I suspected was Nathan and a couple of new, cool skills he had recently learned. I could tell that he had leveled up a lot. I wondered if he had been participating in a lot of demon hunts lately.
Eventually, I realized that an hour had passed and decided that it was time for me to head home. "I have to go. I promise to come home before dinner," I said, getting up from my seat.
"Cool. My job also will start soon," Larry replied, also standing up.
After paying, we left the coffee shop, and as we walked out, a girl's voice called out from behind us. "Ethan..."
Larry and I turned around at the same time, and as soon as we saw Ruby standing a few meters away from us, our smiles faded.
