The Incubus System Chapter 560. Caught in The Act III

Without a word, he lowered his attack stance.

“Right, what do you want to talk about?” From his tone, I could tell he wasn't happy, but on the other hand, I was sure he knew his strength had not returned to its original state.

In contrast to his reaction, Licheri simply jumped onto my shoulder once I loosened my grip.

‘I have to bring another topic ASAP!’ I screamed internally as I tried to find another question and I found it right away.

“Um… Oh right! The conference. You have to clarify that I am your son, right? I think we should do it as soon as possible to prevent more bad rumors,” I suggested. There was a high chance that the demons who didn't like me saw this as their chance to take me down, so his clarification would help me to stabilize my power more quickly.

“I've made a call and ordered your assistants to prepare everything. That lizard demon guy and the giant," he answered lightly.

"You mean Leon and Curtis?" I asked. I was sure he knew they were my assistants from Lilieth.

"Yes. Those two,” he clarified.

A frown appeared on my forehead.

"Why didn't you tell me? They are my assistants,” I complained in displeasure. He should have asked my opinion first since I was their leader. “Besides, this conference is to clarify my identity. At least you should involve me,” I added another complaint and explained my reasoning.

"Says someone who reveals his identity without his father's permission," said Lord Damon in a nonchalant tone.

Upon his reply, I replied to him with a flat stare.

‘Did he… hold a grudge just because I accidentally exposed myself after the last duel?’ I complained internally.

Before I said a word, Licheri opened his voice.

"Yes. That cruel demon is taking revenge on you. I can feel it!” he added gasoline to the fire.

Lord Damon glared at him in reply.

“Shut up, you semen mutant. This is between father and son," he said with intimidation.

Which was followed by replies from the women.

“Pfft---How childish!” Nefaris held back her laughter and mocked him.

"Oh my. You are a bit grumpy after waking up are you?” said Lilieth. Her surprise sounded from the tone of her voice.

He turned to the side, looking at them from the corner of his eyes.

"Can't be helped," he grumbled.

A quiet exhale came out of my mouth.

‘Why do I have a tsundere demon dad?’ I cried internally. At the same time, I kept Licheri's mouth shut since I was sure he would say this out loud to vent his anger.

“Anyway, since you ordered Leon and Curtis to handle it, it should be fine. I just need to get ready for the conference. When did you ask them to do it?” I decided to let it slide. After all, it was not a problem for me and lightened up my workload.

He returned his gaze to me nonchalantly.

"In two hours," he answered lightly.

I was stunned, desperately holding my tongue to let out another complaint. Or rather anger.

'What the hell?! You asked my assistants to set up an important conference in two hours?! Are you trying to kill my new assistants!’ I believed we had to invite a lot of reporters for this and we had to prepare some important things for the conference so his orders were too much for them. I indeed had been waiting for this conference so I could clear things up quickly but I didn't expect it to be this soon.

'I feel sorry for Leon and Curtis...' Especially since they often accompany me for overtime. But saying my complaint would only make things worse and I still needed his clarification so I had no other choice but to swallow my complaint.

“Poor---Mph!” Licheri had just put my hand down and was about to make a complaint about what happened to my assistants and what I was thinking, but I quickly shut his mouth again. Yet, Lord Damon realized it.

He turned his gaze to Licheri and gave him another intimidating look.

"What?" he said curtly.

Luckily, I knew what topic I should ask next and I was sure this was enough to divert the upcoming argument.

“I'm thinking about the other three demon lords. I didn't find them anywhere after my last duel with Letos. Do you have any suggestions for finding them?” I asked bluntly.

Lord Damon's gaze turned serious. His grumpy expression faded.

"Have you sent spies?" he asked.

"I did. I've also used my skills to spy on their place. But I couldn't find them anywhere,” I explained.

“Have you checked their villas?” he made sure.

"I did."

“All of them?” he made sure once again.

“All of them,” I repeated.

“What about their assistants?”

"They're still there. Zatan and Beel disappeared at the same time for the same reason. Both of them went on vacation. The spider queen disappeared a few hours later. She said she was bored and wanted to find another handsome male to play with. I think she went alone,” I gave him a long explanation.

A short mocking chuckle came out of his mouth. A condescending grin appeared on his lips.

“She was betrayed by the other two. How pathetic," he sneered.

"I'm thinking about bringing her to our side. This is a great time since she didn't have any place to go. So I focus my search on her. Do you have any idea where she or they are?” I quickly told my plan.

He shook his head from side to side.

"I have no idea," he said in regret.

Licheri lowered my hand.

"But they're not here for sure," he added.

“Not in my place either,” Nefaris said out of the blue.

"I tightened the security when your father passed out. Besides, I should be able to feel their power if they come to the capital. I've also checked the human world. None of our soldiers sensed their presence either,” Lilieth stated.

Lord Damon placed his fist on his lower lip and was deep in thought.

“They must have run away somewhere else…” he mumbled. Which was followed by a short silence.

“I had a wild guess…” I broke the silence.
