The Incubus System Chapter 675. Which Side Are You? II

"I know you've never felt what it's like to be trapped between the light and dark. But I'm sure you already know most of my story..." The words spilled out of me like a waterfall, tumbling over one another in a torrent of emotion.

"My dad died," I began, my voice trembling with the weight of the words. "The association used me and Celia for a year, and they plan to use me again. This time they even wanted to turn me into a puppet."

I could feel the rage inside me building, bubbling up like molten lava. It was almost too much to bear, the way they had used and manipulated me and my sister. And now they wanted to control me like a marionette on strings.

The thought made me shudder, and I could see the same fear reflected in her eyes. But I couldn't stop there. I had to let her know exactly how I felt about the association, how they had pushed me to the brink of insanity.

"Do you know how badly I hold myself back?" I demanded, my voice rising with each word. "Do you know how desperate I am trying to control my emotions and hold back my rage to avenge all that on the association? "

I could feel the fury building inside me, like a raging inferno that threatened to consume everything in its path. But I knew I had to keep it in check, for the sake of my loved ones and friends.

"Do you know how difficult it is to restrain the rage when I have the power to destroy all of it?" I continued, my voice growing louder and more forceful. "I could be the king of this world if I wanted to, yet I try to stay anonymous."

The thought of wielding that kind of power was both exhilarating and terrifying. I knew I had the ability to rule the world, to bend it to my will with a single thought. But at what cost? The lives of those I loved? The destruction of everything I held dear?

No, I couldn't let that happen. Not yet, anyway. I had to bide my time, to wait until the other demon lords revealed themselves before I could make my move. After that… I knew I had to reveal myself after I made an agreement with humans of course.

She stared at me in shock, her eyes widening as I laid out my reasoning. I could see the confusion and disbelief etched into her features as if she couldn't fathom why I would be willing to tolerate such abuse.

"Then why don't you do it?" she asked, her voice laced with incredulity. "Why are you holding yourself back that bad after you found out what happened?"

I let out a deep sigh, my emotions still roiling within me like a tempestuous storm. It was difficult to explain.

"Because the association is the human's only defense against demons!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room. "The senators are the kings, the leaders of nations, presidents, and prime ministers. If I kill them all with their families, then what? The world will be in chaos!"

I could feel the heat rising in my face, the anger and frustration threatening to overwhelm me.

"The opposition and the government will fight for that empty position!" I continued, my voice rising higher and higher with each word. "It can throw any peaceful country into a long war. And I don't want other people to take the blame for their leader's crime!"

The words spilled out of me like a flood, each one tinged with a mix of anger, sadness, and frustration. I could see the sympathy in Mrs. Chairwoman's eyes, but I knew that she could never truly understand what it was like to be me, to have this immense power at my fingertips.

For a few moments, there was silence in the room. The only sound was my heavy breathing, as I struggled to calm myself down.

Mrs. Clea remained speechless, her eyes widening in surprise as she processed my words. I took a couple of deep breaths before speaking again. It was difficult to control my emotions, especially when discussing the association and all they had done to me and my family.

"You know," I said, my voice softer this time, "despite all that, I'm holding myself back because I know what it's like to be weak. My dad did his best to protect me and Celia and gave us a good life. I don't want to create more orphans like Ethan and Celia out there," I concluded, the words heavy with emotion.

Mrs. Clea remained silent for a few moments, her gaze thoughtful as she considered my words. It was clear that she understood the gravity of the situation and the weight that I carried on my shoulders.

"Then what are the plans for the association?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity. "Are you planning to stay anonymous until the end?"

I tilted my head slightly, the emotion draining from my face as I considered Mrs. Clea's question. My expression was now unreadable, my thoughts carefully guarded. "I can only tell you that after you agree to take my side," I reminded her, my voice firm and determined.

Mrs. Clea's eyes narrowed, suspicion and disbelief etched across her features. "And how can I prove that I have taken your side?" she returned my question, clearly unsure of what I was proposing.

A smile bloomed on my lips, friendly and disarming. "Make a contract with me," I said simply, watching as her expression shifted once again, this time to one of shock.

"A contract?" she asked, her tone laced with skepticism. "What kind of contract?"

"Yes, a contract. You can either choose to be a partner or my servant," I explained, giving her a choice. “It would depend on which option you choose," I said, my tone serious once again. "But I hope you'll become my partner, as becoming my servant means you'll become a demon. You'll be bound to me and follow my every command. It will be quite ironic if the chairwoman of the demon hunters is a demon," I added with a smirk.
