The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 519. The Secret Meeting IV

The Demon Lords' PoV

"Oh right, speaking of disguise. I think Letos used the same disguise to attack Lilieth in Licheri," Zatan said out of the blue. While his CCTV and the conference footage were sufficient to confirm the incubus' identity, Zatan also sought out more information related to him.

Zatan immediately recalled that incident since the target was Lilieth. And as he suspected, even if only a glance, he and his team found similarities between the incubus and Lilieth's attacker. With that, they were able to confirm that the incubus was from Licheri and he was also targeting Lilieth.

Zatan's statement disbanded The Spider Queen's thought.

"If it's Letos, how could he possibly cover up his demonic power in front of Lilieth?" she said in disbelief.

"He also covered his demonic power when he attacked us. If not, how could no one notice it?" Beel reminded her. Even his subordinates were unaware of Letos' presence when he retrieved all of Beel's documents.

"I mean it could be someone else," The Spider Queen pointed out what she meant.

But Zatan broke her statement.

"I don't think so. I've checked his traces, fingerprints, or whatever he left and found nothing." He shook his head from side to side. "There is no demonic power left, some remain unknown."

"That's impossible," she frowned in disbelief.

"But that's what I found." Zatan turned to her.

"That's why I believe in what you saw. Who else do you think could have that power besides Letos? The king is too strong to cover up his strength and Lilieth is in front of the media all the time. He is the only one who has disappeared from the public eye and has the power to do so," he assured her.

Beel nodded repeatedly over Zatan's valid reason.

While the spider queen could only be silent. She knew all the clues and hints point to Letos but there was an undeniable strange feeling in her heart that drove her to seek the truth based on real evidence, not assumptions like what Zatan and Beel did. Still, she decided to hold her tongue before she found out everything. For now, she could only hope that Zatan's guess was right.

Letos' PoV

While the other demon lords gathered, Letos was walking back and forth at his office at his mansion in Licheri City. There weren't many people there other than an assistant.

His desk that looked empty also showed that he hadn't done anything today nor plans to do anything later. In fact, this city had been running on autopilot for a long time. He just needed to manage a little bit of this and that via his assistants and make some decisions for the right things.

As Letos' feet stepped through the marble floor, he bit the tips of his thumb nails nervously. His face also showed the same anxiety as he tried to think about how he could get rid of Lilieth from this city. Letos felt that Lilieth's presence had ripped his authority apart even though this was his territory. He even had to stay in his mansion for a whole week after an incubus mysteriously attacked Lilieth some time ago.

Since he wanted to clear his name and use the incubus as his scapegoat he decided to be patient. But this… this was almost beyond his patience. He felt that Lilieth was truly tearing up his power.

'Look on the bright side, Letos,' he tried to calm himself. He was quite grateful for Lilieth's decision. Especially after he saw what happened to the other cities. That way, his reputation remained clean and he could blame what happened to Licheri and all those cities on the incubus.

Letos guessed the incubus was attacking those cities to get Lilieth away from Licheri as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Lilieth stayed here as if she knew that the incubus was trying to lure her.

'Well, maybe he's one of my fans or something. So he's trying to help me.' Of course, he was not going to waste this help.

On the other hand, Letos also realized that the incubus could have other hidden agendas. The other demon lords could have thought the incubus was his subordinate and it could mess everything up. But he could debunk it easily as long as they didn't have any evidence. With a statement that he didn't know the incubus, they couldn't do anything to him.

After all, he could use Lilieth as an excuse, that he was stuck in his mansion and there was nothing he could do. With such a tight guard, he couldn't possibly leave this place as he pleased.

A smirk appeared on his lips as his feet continued to walk. There was a feeling of joy growing from within his heart.

'Looks like my charm hasn't changed a bit.'

Of course, he meant not his charm skill, but his natural charm as the leader and the demon lord. It had been a long time since he realized that he could make his tragic past an excuse for his injustice or decisions.

If his rotten act got exposed, he simply said he had past trauma, put his sad face on, and played his drama. With a few apologies, it was usually enough. In an extreme case, he didn't mind kneeling or shedding his tears. Even though he didn't like it, his followers were stupid enough to swallow everything as a whole. He also took advantage of that to suppress Lord Damon's decision. That was why he could always dodge the bullet and get the lightest punishment.

In the middle of his mind, a knocking sound came. Which was followed by another assistant who entered in a rush.

"It's Her Highness, My Lord!" said the assistant without further ado, skipping all the formality to greet him.

"What happened to that bitch? Is she dead or something?" asked Letos in a cynical tone. A frown on his forehead.

"The investigation has been completed, My Lord and she is rushing here," the assistant made his point.

Which was greeted with a Letos' grin. Since that meant he would soon get his freedom.

"Then we have to prepare to welcome her."
