Chapter 455: Lust Demon's Capital, Lecheri VII
The Incubus System Chapter 453. Lust Demon's Capital, Lecheri VII
When we arrived, the building was already destroyed. All that was left was a pile of rubble and billowing smoke.
The police and rescue team were busy helping the victims. But of course, their procedures were different from what humans were used to. They mostly used their Demonic Power to move debris and detect victims.
Lilieth and I stood in front of the building, trying to detect the survivors. Even used our Telekinesis to move the ruin but in vain.
Once a demon died, it would turn to ashes so we couldn't do an autopsy either.
Due to the danger, even though the reporters followed us, they could only take the pics from a distance.
And Letos... He pretended to cry in his wife's arms and blamed himself for what happened. Rather than an Incubus Lord, he was more suited to be a Drama Lord. I was fed up with his disgusting and shameless act despite his status as a demon lord.
Still, he had prepared everything well. He used the building's CCTV footage as evidence that he was innocent.
The record showed that one of the family members of the succubi tried to free her, but he ended up giving a fierce fight that eventually destroyed the entire building. He used a kind of explosion magic formation on his body to kill himself if this attack failed. In addition, the record also showed how Letos treated the succubi well.
After the record was published, the journalists immediately stormed at Letos, asking him to explain this. This time he could do nothing but bow his head and apologize for his incompetence. Sobs accompanied his every word.
Unfortunately, even though he was so close, I couldn't execute him on the spot since he had destroyed all the evidence. Even though it was obvious that he did it.
But on the bright side, his harsh counter was enough to destroy his reputation and get the public's attention on him.
Besides that, I could also use Letos' incompetence as an excuse to distribute some of his authority to Lilieth.
Still... Even though we succeeded in bringing down the public's trust in Letos, there was regret in my heart that I couldn't save those succubi. There were more than 50 of them and they all died for nothing because of Letos.
I knew that whether my plan was successful or not, what awaited them was death. Because Letos would use them as demon detonators if we brought them to Eternal Night City. I still felt that what I did was no different from what the demon hunter association had done to me and Celia.
After that incident, I ordered him to take care of everything and give my authority to Lilieth to take charge of some things, especially the investigation. And thus the meeting ended with a bittersweet result for us.
Letos' PoV
"Curse them!" he yelled in anger as soon as he arrived at his mansion which was dominated by red and black. His feet stepped through the living room quickly towards his office.
His shout made his sexy maids, who lined up neatly, bow their heads in fear.
"My Lord, please be patient," said his wife who was walking behind him, trying to chase him.
He stopped his steps and glared at her.
"Shut up!" he yelled again. He had restrained himself and acted like an idiot in front of Lord Damon, so he didn't hesitate to blow things up.
"He not only messed up my plans but humiliated me! I kneeled in front of him! The whole world saw me! That fucker wanted to embarrass me from the start!" he vented his frustration. His anger was clear in his tone, expression, and gestures.
He had planned everything well, even made a lot of backup plans. He thought one of them would work, sadly neither of them went well. Instead, his plans backfired to him! Even his reputation was on the line now!
How could he convince other demon lords and invite other demons to rebel against Lord Damon with this reputation?
His wife held his hand gently.
"Please calm down. There will always be next time."
Yet her effort didn't work. Instead, he let go of her hand roughly.
"But when?! When can I break his arrogant face?! He even ordered Lilieth to investigate this matter directly!" Even though he had made sure that not a single piece of evidence was left behind, he couldn't use it to carry out his other plans.
"And that stupid new succubus! How dare she call me 'My Lord' in front of so many people! That stupid bitch almost exposed me in front of everyone! It was a fucking live conference!" he yelled in anger.
His loud voice made all the wives and all the servants around him curled in fear. They had never seen him so angry before.
"Look at the bright side, My Lord. We managed to get their attention. The Glob King and the others should be able to execute their plan smoothly," his other wife tried to comfort him. But she didn't dare to approach him. Even though Letos was a sweet incubus, he could turn violent when he got angry.
"Mph! I don't see any good news from that. If they take over what I do, it's the same for me!" he snapped. It all ended up with a narrow chance of his ambush attack on the Illusion Night Tower.
He had sent his troops into that city months away bit by bit. Even though it was impromptu, he couldn't pass up this opportunity.
The four demon generals should be busy taking care of many things in this world, so no one could beat his trusted assistant and his elite troops. Or he could call his trusted assistant as his general. That assistant's strength was almost similar to that of a demon lord, so Letos was sure he would bring good news to him.
Unfortunately, no. The pain that pierced his heart showed that one of his trusted subjects just died. Plus he also couldn't feel his assistant magic flow anymore.
His hand shifted to his chest and clenched it. His eyes trembled. His pupils moved from side to side. His shock was evident on his face.
"It can't be..." he muttered in a low voice.
"It can't be!!! Who?! Who killed him!" he lost his shit due to his serial failures.
Then he lifted his head and gritted his teeth.
"Fuck you, Damon! Curse you and your bloodline!" he shouted with all his might.
