Chapter 684: Which Side Are You? I

The Incubus System Chapter 674. Which Side Are You? I

For what seemed like an eternity, there was no sound but the gentle hum of the air conditioner. Her piercing gaze bore into me, examining me from head to toe as if trying to determine my worth.

As the seconds ticked by, the silence grew louder, and her dilemma seemed to burden her heart and mind.

I could see fear creeping into her eyes. Her clear expression betrayed the anxiety that had taken root in her.

Instinctively, I tilted my head a bit, my friendly smile softening my features. "What's the matter, Mrs. Clea? Did the cat get your tongue?" I asked in a calm, reassuring tone.

But her response caught me off guard. She opened her voice. "Do you want to claim that you are as strong as a demon lord now?" Her voice trembled, betraying her fear despite her attempt to mask it.

With a sense of calm detachment, I claimed my new identity. "Yes. I am a demon lord now," I said lightly as if it were a trivial thing. "Is that cool?" My lips curved upwards in a wry smile.

But her response was silence. I couldn't read her thoughts, but I knew that her mind was working overtime.

Frowning slightly, I decided to use my Observation skill to check her. Maybe she was trying to send a message or signal for help from the association.

But no. From her status, it was clear that she was caught in the midst of a dilemma, her fear and uncertainty was clear. And there was something else, too - regret. It was evident that she felt responsible for my death, at least partially.

Her silence made me frown. I didn't like being in this state for too long since she hadn't decided which side she was on.

"What's with the silence?" I spoke up.

I had expected her to bombard me with questions, like when Emma found out my identity. But there was nothing, not even a mention of Emma, despite the fact that she should have known that I had taken Emma that night. Of course, Emma could have lied and said she had gone elsewhere to hunt down demons.

"So what's your answer, Mr. Great Demon?" she asked, her voice steady but her eyes unyielding.

"If you take my side, I will answer all your questions," I offered, my voice smooth as silk.

"Take your side or not, it depends on your answer," she replied, her tone just as unwavering.

I couldn't help but admire her boldness, even as I remained cautious. "And I need reassurance to ensure that what I say doesn't get out," I retorted, holding her gaze with my own.

Silence followed; the tension thick between us as neither of us wanted to back down.
