The Incubus System Chapter 551. The New Ruler of Lust City I
For the next few days, my servants and I spent a lot of time taking care of the city. I took some new servants and two official assistants. I also appointed a lot of staff and placed them according to their skills. Some of them were Letos' loyalists so I had no other choice but to rewrite their memory and replace Letos with me.
Cruel indeed, but I needed them. Licheri (city) needed them. Some of them had rare abilities that other demons didn't have, so I couldn't replace them easily.
As for Licheri (core), he mostly spent his time in his original form and I decided to keep it in my desk drawer. If he got bored he turned into that white ball creature and accompanied me to work. Or maybe, bugging me to be precise since all he was doing was jumping here and there and singing weird songs in his child-like voice.
While he didn't mess up the documents or hit me, his actions were distracting me and it was so annoying. But I couldn't get rid of him since he was the one who alarmed me every time a rebellion was about to happen. With his help, I could clean them up easily. He also warned me that some of the loyalists chose to remain silent. But that didn't mean they accepted me. They secretly devised a plan to overthrow me.
Yes, even though I had tried to do my best, haters would always be there. Not everyone liked my presence since I appeared out of nowhere even though Lilieth had confirmed my identity. In addition, this city had been under Letos' rule for a thousand years. His loyalists were everywhere. It worried the entire city and I could understand it since I didn't have any track records in the demon world. The only thing they knew was that I am Lord Damon and Lilieth's child. I was not even saying that I was from the human world.
And my servants, for time being, I assigned them to train and prepare elite guards for me. Some of the previous elite soldiers were Letos loyalists. The peaceful ones immediately resigned and chose to become civilians. While others "pretended" to decide to become civilians. And I ended up killing them secretly after they signed their resignation letter. That was the reason why I needed a lot of new recruiters.
Again, luckily, Licheri (core) helped me a lot in choosing a competent recruit. He knew where and who the suitable demons were, so what I needed to do was send my servants to pick them up and recruit them. Yeah, that was the reason why I didn't issue any complaints about his childish acts.
On the other hand, Nefaris mostly helped me to finish my paper works. I was shocked since I thought she was incompetent to do something like this, yet she was able to help me properly. She had more experience dealing with some rare types of demons since she had dealt with them at least once and that helped me a lot.
And my pets became my guards with Foxy as their leader while my elite soldiers were not ready. They spent time guarding this building and managed to protect the place from ambush several times. It was something that every new demon lord would face.
I knew what I was doing was no different than slaughter. I realized I started my reign with the blood of Letos' loyalists and followers the same as how other demon lords took over their thrones.
It was ironic since I thought I was better than them, but in the end, I had to do the same due to the demons' nature. I had to show my authority, power, strength, and how far I could go to the rebels or criminals. All I did was to prevent greater chaos since, in this world, power was everything. So to earn their loyalty and recognition, that's what I had to do.
Fortunately, some welcomed me well since they had been expecting another lust demon to replace Letos a long time ago. They were mostly succubi and lust demons who no longer liked Letos' leadership style. While others still doubted my identity and chose to take a neutral position. They neither support me nor hate me. But they were still waiting for Lord Damon's clarification to make sure that this city's throne was in the right hands.
But among all, there was one thing that really pissed me off. It was reporters. They kept waiting in front of the city hall and followed me when I went out. Yeah, in the human world, Elenna was the only one who followed me. Here, I had hundreds of crazy reporters like her. Worse, some of them could fly. In the end, I chose to use my portal skill more.
Aside from what happened, the footage of what happened at the city monument also created another level of stupid rumors. Some of the reporters managed to record me when I was stunned and touched the statue' d*ck. It created some stupid speculation that I was one of his loyalists but I held a grudge against him after what happened to those succubi in the prison. They also said that I regretted it after I killed him.
Some even brought their speculation to the extreme level by saying I had fallen in love with Letos. That's why I groped his statue just to vent what I feel for him.
I had given a short statement to clarify that. But I didn't tell the truth, I only gave an excuse that I did that to measure the statue since it would be replaced with mine. Unfortunately, they still doubted my statement. Well, I just gave a brief statement via the online conference due to my busy schedule so I couldn't blame them either. Luckily they didn't have any footage of Licheri (core) so I was not worried about that.
