The Incubus System Chapter 260. Another Stalker

'So... you guys can't join us for today's night hunt?' I said as I walked down the sidewalk to my house accompanied by the clear afternoon sky. Instead of opening my portal directly to my room, I opened my portal to Ironshade Town Station. Why? Because I guessed, it was Mrs Clea who sent Tiffany. It could be that she just wanted to fulfil my invitation. Either way, I'd rather anticipate the worst than be overly confident, especially since I still wanted a bit of my peaceful normal life. After all, a little walk wouldn't hurt me. So better safe than sorry.

'I'm sorry, Ethan. Since my suspension has just ended, I have to undergo a re-examination at the headquarters since they want to make sure I'm not under any demons' influence,' replied Emma in a disappointed tone.

Followed by Olivia's voice.

'I also need to help my mom take care of Nightbough. corp. My dad left a lot of unfinished things and neither of us knew about it. Even though Ivy could imitate my dad well, she still needed a lot of knowledge to manage paperwork and company management. Moreover, Nightbough. Corp has many subsidiaries and affiliates. But... ' She paused for a moment and I could catch the confusion in her tone.

'You know--- Despite her appearance, I'm really shocked with Ivy's intelligence. She can learn many things easily, especially those related to technology. I think she can replace my dad without anyone noticing it. All we need to do is find out what my dad has been hiding from us.'

'Okay. Just tell me if you guys need help,' I said.

But they just didn't answer me.

'Is there something wrong?' I asked again.

'Ethan, instead of worrying about us you should worry more about yourself. I mean... I know what happened last night wasn't easy for you, yet you act as if nothing happened,' Emma said worriedly.

'Emma is right. I thought you were going to have a mental breakdown yesterday, yet you didn't. Don't be too hard on yourself, Ethan. Please remember, all of us aren't weak women. We are your source of power, not someone who will drag you down,' Olivia said sincerely.

A smile appeared on my lips. I didn't care if people thought I was weird for smiling for no reason. Even though they said this through Telepathy, I could clearly feel their sincerity.

' Thank you...'

But then I realized something or someone was stalking me from behind the high bush across the street. I looked at the stalker with the corner of my eyes without turning my head at her and sighed after I realized who she was from the status above her head. Elenna. A tired breath escaped my mouth.

'I think I just got a new stalker,' I said. I saw her enter Myra's mansion last night, but I managed to escape before she could see me clearly. And based on Maria's report, I knew she saw me. Even if it was only a glimpse, it was enough to make her chase me around again. That's why she was here.

To be honest, I wanted to open my portal while we were still in the lab last night. Unfortunately, I couldn't. To convince the demon hunters that their opponents were real demons, Yuffy had to watch them from close range. So when their attacks hit her Specters, she could dismiss them immediately, as if the demon hunters had defeated them and it required perfect timing. And since I was the only one with manipulation skills left there, I had to make sure that our surroundings were safe. Sadly, Elenna caught a glimpse of me when we moved to another room.

'Who?' they said at the same time.

'That reporter. I need to go now, I have to deal with her.' I almost arrived at my house, but I didn't want her to follow me to my house and make the 'I accidentally met you, so can I come to your house?' scene. That's why I decided to lure her elsewhere and use my Mind Corruption on her. As I expected she followed me as she hid herself with things around.

'Just be careful,' they said.

'Okay.'

[You have disconnected with Emma and Olivia.]

"Ethan!" A woman's voice made me stop, but I knew it wasn't Elenna's voice. I turned to Mrs Clea who was standing in front of her house and waved her hand at me.

"Do you mind accompanying Alan to play for a while?" she said.

I frowned since she had never asked my help for something like this before.

'Is this a trap?' As I approached, I used my observation skill on her. But I only found worried and honest in her emotional status.

"I don't mind. But I can't stay too long. Is it okay?" I replied.

"It's fine. It won't be long," she said with a smile. Even if it was only for a moment, I caught Mrs Clea glancing at Elenna, indicating she was also aware of that reporter's presence or that's the reason she called me.

We entered her house and my hand put my umbrella at the entrance. Unlike when I sneaked here using Foxy's body, all those strange lasers were no longer at the entrance.

"Yay! Yay! Yay!" Alan's happy voice greeted my ears as soon as I entered the place, accompanied by the discordant sound of a Xylophone. I turned to where the sound was coming from and saw Alan thumping his Xylophone toy happily. Even though I knew he was just pretending, I could say his acting was amazingly good. I also looked around me to make sure this wasn't a trap and I didn't find anything suspicious there.

"Alan, look who's coming," said Mrs Clea.

As soon as Alan saw me, he stopped playing and ran towards me.

"Brother! Do you come to play with me?" he said in excitement. He opened his arms up, asking me to carry him.

Without hesitation, I picked him up.

"Yes, are you ready to play?" I said with a childish grin. I didn't mind playing along with them since from Mrs Clea's status, I knew she meant no harm to me.

"I will leave you with him for a while, Ethan. I need to make an important call, but Alan keeps screaming."

"Okay." After that answer, she went to another room. While I accompanied Alan to play, or rather pretended to accompany him.

Five minutes later. I chased around Alan and laughed together, when I suddenly heard the police siren. I stopped in my tracks and turned to the window. My feet moved there to check it out. My hand brushed aside the curtain, my eyes glued to the police car parked across the street. The two policemen were seen arguing with Elenna.

'Did Mrs Clea know that Elenna was following me?' I thought. And since she didn't want Elenna to know my house, she lured me here.

A couple tugging on my sweater took my eyes off them.

"Brother, you don't want to play anymore?" Alan whined in disappointment.

"Look, Alan. There's something interesting out there." I picked him up and made him look out the window.

"It's a police car," I said in a nursery rhyme tone. Meanwhile, my eyes watched what was happening. I could only guess that the police came because of Mrs Clea's report. Since there was no way the police could come this fast just for a small report like this, I bet she used her demon hunter chairwoman status for this.

After arguing for a while, finally, the policemen took Elenna by force.

'At least this makes everything easier for me,' I thought. My hand closed the curtain and I accompanied Alan to play again.

Shortly after, Mrs Clea came over to us.

"Thank you for helping me, Ethan."

"No problem," I replied. My hand pointed to the window.

"Those cops, did they come because of your report?" I asked straight to the point. What she did was too obvious.

"Yeah. That woman has been stalking us since noon. I thought she had bad intentions towards us. That's why I decided to report her to the police," she replied in a calm tone. It seemed she had already prepared everything but she just wanted to make sure the person Elenna was following was me. So I could say my decision to open my portal at the station was the right one. Since both of them were waiting for me, they would notice something was wrong with me if they found me suddenly showing up at my house without passing them by.

'Great! One of my stalkers waited for me in the rain this morning, the other waited for me for hours.' And I could guess Mrs Clea had realized this has to do with last night's incident. So there was a big possibility she was the one who sent Tiffany.

"You know, that woman also followed me to college for a ridiculous reason yesterday." Since she started to suspect me, I decided to give her my alibi. Even though I wanted to read Mrs Clea's mind with my Mind Corruption, I couldn't because of Alan. That skill could only be performed on a single target and had a time delay when the victim's memory entered my head. Judging from how Alan protected Mrs Clea from the Imps, I guessed Alan had the same intelligence as human's and understood if something was wrong with her. He could have something he could use to send an emergency signal to headquarters. That's why I decided to undo my intention.

"Really?"

"She said she saw me at the Cretunt Bridge incident. Although I already said I was on my way to Larry's place when that accident happened." Diamond was the star of that heroic event, I was not sure anyone would remember that I was there.

She chuckled.

"That's stupid."

"You know what's more stupid? She thinks I'm a demon hunter," I said with the same chuckle as her.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

"What? That's crazy! How did she come to that conclusion?"

"I don't know. Maybe she's too obsessed with the demon hunters," I said with a shrug. I came to that conclusion after I saw Elenna's persistence at the Nighthallow City's Station. I was sure Mrs Clea should be aware of that too.

"What a weird woman!"

"Well, since she's gone you should be safe by now."

"Thanks for your help, Ethan."

After Alan and Mrs Clea said goodbye to me, I returned to my house.
