The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 529. Broken Alliance

The Demon Lords' PoV

*Clap! Clap! Clap!*

The other demon lords clapped at his anger.

"Nice speech, Letos. But sorry, we won't fall again," Zatan scoffed in disdain.

"You know. You say we are your alliance, yet you accuse us without evidence. It's terrible," said Beel, shaking his head from side to side.

A frown of displeasure appeared on Letos' forehead.

"Are you kidding me?! All witnesses could feel your Demonic Power!" he snapped.

Zatan shrugged nonchalantly.

"Sorry, there is no proof about that and the witness could be lying," he said in an indifferent tone.

Letos gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in annoyance. But instead of letting out his anger, he nodded repeatedly in annoyance.

"You need proof, huh? Right, I'll give it to you." He gestured at his subordinate and pointed at the broken table.

Without a word, the subordinate placed a mobile projector in the middle of the broken table and turned it on. A hologram emerged from it and showed all the evidence, how some demons made some mess, and all the crimes they committed. The subordinate also showed fingerprints at the scene which clearly indicated they were the culprits.

Letos folded his arms in front of his chest.

"Do you still want to deny it?" he challenged. The evidence was more than enough to show that they were the culprits.

Still… the three demon lords didn't seem panicked or concerned about it. Instead, they took all of this as a joke.

"Tell me, does that look like us, Zatan?" asked Beel casually. His eyes fell on the hologram which showed how he and Zatan were messing around on Licheri in their shabby disguises.

Zatan pulled the corner of his lips up slightly, creating a strange expression on his face.

"Well. It doesn't look like we're at all," he answered nonchalantly.

While Syntyche chose to put her attention on her servant who was busy manicuring her nails, showing her indifference.

Letos gritted his teeth once again in anger.

"All of you---" he hissed and was about to cast his skill, but Syntyche suddenly opened her voice.

"Since you have given the evidence. I think now is our time to provide our evidence," she said before she pulled her hand from her servant away and checked his work. Her eyes were fixed on her nails as she moved her hand to examine them from all angles.

Upon her request, another soldier placed another projector which showed all the evidence, the CCTV footage from all their cities, including what Zatan got in Licheri.

It made Letos speechless. His eyes stared at the footage in shock. His face was pale and his heart was pounding. His anger was replaced by clear panic. That footage was the answer to why the three of them were cold to him.

"Impossible… That isn't my assistant," Letos mumbled in shock before he turned to look at them. "I swear he's not my assistant. That succubus isn't my servant. They must be other demons!" he tried to explain everything in a panic.

Zatan replied by holding back his laughter and mocked him.

"Pfft! Told ya, he would say that," he said sarcastically.

"Then can you explain the fingerprint? Why can't we find their identities in the database?" asked Syntyche. Her eyes fell on Letos.

"That's because that incubus is 'the human world's great demon'. That's why he's not registered anywhere." Zatan scoffed before he returned his gaze to Letos.

"In other words, he has found his way into the human world, but he doesn't want to tell us," he added in displeasure.

"That incubus can be anyone! And I haven't found a way to the human world yet!" Letos defended himself in frustration.

"Then what do you mean by the secret you want to tell us?" Syntyche continued her questioning, hoping to find something to prove that Letos wasn't the culprit. Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything that could help with that.

"That's…" Letos' words trailed off.

Around a few months ago, he felt an extraordinary abnormal demonic power. It was unusual and somehow it felt so nostalgic. He kept feeling strange about it and believed it was a new source of power. So he thought of looking for it and intended to use those demon lords to help him find the location. But he changed his mind since he wanted to take it all for himself.

"I can't tell you now..." he finally gave an uncertain answer in case he needed their help.

His answer invited another cynical reaction.

"You know, forget it. You're right. That incubus is another demon." A mocking smirk appeared on Zatan's lips. "It was you…" he sneered.

"What nonsense is that?!" said Letos in shock and anger.

"Stop pretending, Letos. Syntyche has seen it with her Spyder. That incubus is actually you. And those stolen documents… If you dare to give them to the king, we will also give yours," Beel threatened.

"What the fuck?! What are you talking about? What documents?" said Letos in obvious confusion. But then he knew, all his complaints were useless. So he decided to change his ways.

Letos took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself before he spoke again.

"Listen. If that demon can pretend to be my dead assistant, of course, he can pretend to be me. After all, won't everyone find it out from my Demonic Power?" he asked them to use their logic.

"That demon has no Demonic Power, Letos," Syntyche chimed in.

That made Letos even more shocked.

"What?!" he said in disbelief.

"And I bet that's the secret you're keeping from us," Zatan continued, cornering him mercilessly.

"You should stop lying to us," Beel added.

Letos was at a loss for words. He didn't expect his plan would backfire.

"I'm not lying! There are so many demons with shape-shifting skills, it could be anyone!" he defended himself. Then something crossed his head.

"I know! It's the king! It must be him!" he guessed.

Unfortunately, others had also predicted this and had investigated it. But all the evidence still pointed to Letos.

"Right… We believe you," said Zatan in a sarcastic tone.

"We shouldn't be trusting a liar and a traitor," Syntyche said in disappointment.

Those words broke the last straw for him. His anger overtook him. He couldn't believe they could be that stupid. They even called him a traitor when the ones who betrayed him were them.
