Chapter 686: Which Side Are You? III
The Incubus System Chapter 676. Which Side Are You? III
Once the words spilled out of my mouth, I couldn't help but notice the slight furrow of her brow, and the hint of anger in her eyes. She stood before me, her body tense with a quiet fury. It was clear that she was not one to be trifled with, and that she would not be easily swayed by my words.
"So you simply want me to be your follower?" she asked, her voice cold and sharp as a blade. "Your slave?"
I hesitated for a moment, caught off guard by the directness of her words. But I quickly composed myself, meeting her gaze with a calm and steady one of my own.
"Not a follower," I replied with a low hum, my tone casual despite the tension. "Since I never demanded you to follow me. And clearly not a slave. I just want to make sure that you are loyal to me and don't say a word about my secret."
But she did not seem swayed by it. Instead, she stood before me, her eyes narrowed, her arms crossed over her chest.
She thought for a while, considering her options. And though I could sense her hesitation, I knew that I didn't have much time. Alan was still at my house, waiting for us to return. He could send help to the association if we didn't come back soon.
So I decided to rush her, to push her towards a decision.
"I don't have much time, Mrs. Chairwoman," I said, my voice low and urgent. And then, without warning, I raised my hand. "Please answer me on the count of 5..."
My eyes were fixed on her, watching as the seconds ticked by. And then, just as I was about to speak again, she spoke.
"What if I choose no?" she asked, her voice filled with quiet defiance. "Don't I already know your identity? Are you going to kill me?"
I felt a flicker of anger in my chest at her words. But I kept my expression neutral, my voice sweet as honey.
"If I can read your mind," I said, my voice dripping with venom. "What makes me think I can't erase your memory or even alter it?"
I approached her then, my head tilted to the side, a sly smile on my lips. "Besides," I continued, my words a clear manipulation even though they didn't come from my demonic skill. "Don't you also dislike the senators? You know how they use me and Celia, right? And do you remember how they almost sacrificed you and the other demon hunters? They know you were there, yet they launched the missiles..."
And though I could see the turmoil in her eyes, the conflict that filled her heart, I knew that I had her. For what I had said was true, and she couldn't deny it.
She pressed her lips together, her eyes shaking with anguish. I could see the change in the tone of her breath, the way her body tensed with her decision.
"Think well, Mrs. Chairwoman," I said, my voice low and urgent. And then, without warning, I distanced my head away from her.
I leaned back in a chair, my eyes fixed on her. It was a dangerous game that I played, one that could cost me everything if I played my hand wrong. But I had no choice. Time was running out, and I needed her on my side if I was going to succeed.
[Do you want to give your loyalty to Damian Lucio Malignus?]
[Yes/No]
Her eyes widened in shock. "Damian Lucio Malignus?" she repeated, her voice filled with disbelief as she stared at the announcement. And then, she turned to me, her eyes full of questions.
"Does all this have something to do with the ancient demon lord? Damon Arcano Malignus?" she asked, seeking an explanation.
I smiled wryly, my lips curling into a sly grin. "I have no obligation to answer that until you agree to my terms," I said calmly, my voice dripping with a hint of malice.
The Chairwoman's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, it seemed as though she might refuse. But then, she seemed to change her mind, and her gaze softened.
"Then release me. I can't move, I can't choose," she claimed.
"You won't need to move or choose anything physically," I explained. "Just focus on your answer in your mind."
And with that, the Chairwoman made her choice.
"Yes," she said. "I will give my loyalty to Damian Lucio Malignus."
