The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 542. The Remaining of The Alliance II

Syntyche's PoV

"Have they picked it up?" said Syntyche irritably, turning to the servant by her side. Just like Zatan and Beel, she also sat on the sofa and watched the TV.

"Not yet, My Queen," replied the servant. His hand was pressing the phone to his ear.

She turned to her servant on the other side.

"How about you?"

"They said Beel is eating and going to sleep, My Queen. So he doesn't want to receive your call," replied the servant, lowering the phone and shaking his head from side to side.

Her gaze returned to the front.

"Those two morons!" she scoffed. Her attention was on the TV again. The screen showed an incubus who had a similar face to the king and his brother.

'I knew it was a trap...' she thought. She knew something was wrong. Unfortunately, Zatan and Beel managed to influence her. Well, she realized that she was the one who said the incubus was Letos, but she only said what she saw. Apart from that, all guesses belonged to that stupid Zatan. While Beel simply followed him like a stupid bull.

"My Queen is already connected." A servant's voice dispersed her annoyance. Immediately, he gave it to her.

"You should check the news now!" she said without further ado once she took the phone from the servant.

But Zatan's answer disappointed her.

"Why? I just arrived. Do you know how far my city is? I think I will skip," he replied in a nonchalant tone.

It angered her.

"Stop being stupid and check the news now! The king already has a successor!" she couldn't help but yell.

Still, Zatan was unaffected by it.

"Ha… C'mon. Stop with that bullshit. Are you trying to be a trickster like Letos?" His voice sounded like a whine.

"I'm not lying! Can't you feel his power earlier? It's not from Damon! But his son!" she snapped. She couldn't believe that she was so stupid as to choose to cooperate with those demons.

"I think you should stop doing this, Syntyche. The alliance has been disbanded. It's time for us to go our separate ways and forget about what happened." This time he sounded more serious.

"What?!" She couldn't believe how ridiculous he was. He even neglected the obvious danger in front of him. "I'm telling you because I care. I'm sure he'll be after us. He's already killed Letos, the next will be us!" she snapped again.

"I don't care if he killed Letos or not! Letos deserve to die! And we are done! You should stop calling me and mind your own business!" Zatan retorted in a displeased tone.

His last statement made her realize that Zatan already knew everything.

"You--- You know it… Yet you pretend don't care and don't want to know. Do you realize it was you who lure us to think all of this was Letos' fault? I've warned you many times yet you didn't give a shit," she said in disbelief. She felt betrayed.

"But it was you who said that incubus was Letos!" he reminded her in a displeased tone, throwing all the blame on her shamelessly.

"I only said what I saw," she defended herself.

"And I only concluded what you saw. Why are you blaming me for your mistakes?" he retorted in displeasure.

"What the..." Her words trailed off. She was speechless. She realized that no matter what she said, Zatan wouldn't listen or care about her. It was unbelievable since they just fought together side by side to defeat Letos and now… Zatan didn't give a fuck about her life.

"I see... So you want to throw all the blame on me..." She said in disappointment.

"It is your fault, Syntyche. Stop lying to yourself," he cornered her mercilessly, even though he knew he was the one to blame for what happened to Letos.

"You know what? I will tell Beel everything. He will be very disappointed in you," she threatened. At least this way she could make Beel realize how rotten Zatan was and team up with him to save themselves.

Zatan exhaled a long breath.

"Beel already knows everything. Why do you think he won't take your calls?" he scoffed in a mocking tone.

"My bad. I forgot he is also a moron like you. You guys will make a good team." She chuckled ironically, laughing at her stupidity.

"I really shouldn't have joined this stupid alliance in the first place…" she regretted.

"Whatever. I think you should stop lying to yourself," he mocked before he hung up without a goodbye,

*Tut!* *Tut!* *Tut!*

"Argh!" She threw the phone angrily. It crashed to the floor and smashed it into pieces. All the servants were shocked and curled in fear in response.

"All men are the same! They are either a liar or a bastard," she yelled, gritting her teeth in anger.

"Please calm down, My Queen." One of her servants tried to calm her down.

But she replied with a glare.

"Shut up and bring my wine!" she ordered angrily.

Once again, it made all the servants curl in fear.

"Yes, My Queen." With agility, he did her order.

Once again, she turned her gaze to the TV. This was indeed frustrating. Without allies or everything, she had to save herself. She should either run away or find a new alliance elsewhere. The question was how and who?

Moreover, she couldn't imagine running for the rest of her life. And based on history, no one could escape from the king.

The best decision was to go to that incubus. She could offer any information he had about Zatan and Beel in exchange for her life. In other words, she was planning to sell them. Still… That was not a good idea. That incubus could have executed her after he got all the information out.

'I think it will be my last way out.' She tried to find another option. Another alliance that could help her. At least someone who could make the king think twice if he wanted to go after her. A strong demon lord immediately flashed through her head.

"Azrael..." she muttered.

He was the Lord of Wrath who had the same strength as Letos. A possessive bastard who would never let go of anything that belonged to him. Just like Nefaris, he didn't like to interfere with politics. The difference was he took good care of his city. He was also quite reasonable and logical. Unlike some greedy demon lords who attended to take what they couldn't chew. They ended up being a corpse just like Letos.

The problem was… She didn't know if he would help her or not.

'I just need to give it a shot. If he refuses, I have no other choice but to go to that Incubus.'
