The Incubus System Chapter 280. The Dinner Preparation I

"Too bad," Larry mumbled again in a gloomy tone accompanied by a weary sigh before he stood up from his chair.

"Would you like some coffee?" Looked like he decided to buy a drink to cheer himself up.

"Nah, I'm good," I refused.

"Thank you," said Olivia and Emma as they raised the tea and juice in their hands.

Without another word, he left. After he queued in front of the counter, Emma spoke again.
"Any news from 'your dad'?" she asked curiously. Obviously, she meant Lord Damon.

I shook my head from side to side.
"I haven't heard anything from the others either." I meant Lilieth and the other demon generals. It had irritated me since--- after they announced my status and threw my mind into a mess, they ended it silent without telling me what to do. They didn't even tell me about the border energy's development, so the only thing I could do was judge it from the cracks. But I was guessing, they had their own difficulties.

"So it's still stuck just like the last time?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah. But I can't rush them either. I'm still too weak compared to my enemies." It wasn't a defence, but a bitter truth. And the fact, I couldn't level up any faster than this even though I had increased my Shadow Ritual schedule and expanded my reach to Lightglen City, was bugging me. But I also didn't want some big crack to reappear as often as it used to. So I had to find another way.

"How about your mom? Any news about that?" asked Emma again.

"Which mom?" I asked.

"Your human mom," she clarified. I had already told them about the vacate letter and they were furious when they heard it. But I also said I had reported this matter to the bank, the police and Mrs Clea. So what I needed to do was wait.

"They're still looking for her," I said. I couldn't hide my curiosity from my expression and tone of my voice. Unfortunately, even with Mrs Clea's connection since the association was in a mess, she couldn't focus her attention on this problem. I also hadn't heard anything from the police or the bank other than a letter saying they were investigating this matter.

"It's Aeros Gold Bank, right? I can help you handle it," Olivia said in an annoyed tone. She looked furious when I told them this more than Emma. Moreover, she knew that Bank was Nightbough. corp's subsidiary.

"If I hit a dead-end and the bank insists on confiscation of my house. I'll ask for your help. Besides, Ivy is taking care of it," I said with a bitter smile. The most important thing for me was to find my mother.

Noticing my gloomy expression, Olivia decided to divert their conversation. 
"About tonight, I will send a car to pick you up."

"Wouldn't it be better if I went there with my portal?" I asked. And it would save me a lot of time for sure.

"You've never been to that hotel before. Also, you and your sister are wearing formal clothes. You're not planning to enter the hotel on foot are you?" said Emma with a frown.

Well, she had a point. Even if I could open my portal to the nearest place, we still had to call a taxi to get there. The problem was, the hotel was in the elite district and taxi stands were very rare since the hotel had prepared them.
"Okay," I agreed. I didn't think this was a big deal either.

"I'll ask my chauffeur to pick you up at your house at 05.30 PM," Olivia said with a satisfied smile.

"What about the clothes?" Emma asked me another question.

"I can make my own clothes, remember?" I reminded them.

"I mean your sister's," she straightened out her statement.

'Oh crap! I forgot!' Celia did have a few dresses, but it was old. I didn't know if it was still fit or not. Previously, I had asked my servants to teach Celia the Demon's Clothes skill but they were confused since they were born with that skill. So the only way was to ask Lilieth.
"I think I should take her to buy a new one after this," I said.

"It's okay. Just tell her to come in normal clothes. I will arrange it for her," said Emma calmly. She seemed to have guessed that I wasn't prepared that far since they just mentioned this plan two days ago. But... 
"Do you know her size?" I asked in confusion.

Instead of answering me with words, Emma and Olivia giggled.
"Don't worry. I'm sure all the 'dresses' we prepared will fit your sister," said Emma.

"Okay. I will leave it to you," I said in a calm tone. I could only guess they prepared some all size dresses for Celia. Maybe... With a little naughty plan by giving her sexy dresses or something like that.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" said Larry as he returned to his seat with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Just a small talk," Emma said without further explanation.

"Oh right. I forgot to tell you. I met that reporter again a few days ago," Larry said out of blue before blowing his coffee and sipping it.

"You mean Elenna?" I clarified who he meant.

"Yeah. Who else?" he answered in a nonchalant tone. He seemed to have forgotten he had never met Elenna as Larry before.

"Is she also bothering you?" said Emma with a frown in displeasure. Rather than that, I wanted to ask 'does that mean Elenna already knows his profession?'. Unfortunately, I couldn't ask him directly.

"Well. I met her by accident," he said.

"Can you tell us what happened?" I said curiously.

He put his coffee on the table and sighed tiredly.
"It's cliche stuff but I think she's crazy. Even crazier than my 'Ex' . You know about the black hands' phenomenon these days, right? I met her by chance in the middle of that phenomenon and as normal people, we should run away from those dangerous things. Besides, seeing those terrifying hands kill the demons brutally, was not a pleasant view. But she…” He took another deep breath and shook his head from side to side in hopelessness.
"She didn't run but recorded the incident with her cellphone. If others ran away from danger, she ran into danger. That's really stupid. I think she will lose her life one day over her curiosity," Larry blabbered in annoyance.

"She was not scared at all?" I said in disbelief. I knew Elenna was that crazy to the point she could neglect her own safety just to satisfy her curiosity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to sneak on the Nighthallow Station and take my photo. Even refused to give it to me after I threatened her in my Demonic Form. But at the very least, she should show some fear of my Ritual.

"She was afraid and trembled. But she didn't budge even though I was desperately pulling her away." I could catch his annoyance clearly.
"See? That's why I said some women are crazy."

"In her case, I agree." I had nothing to defend her.

"Look at the positive side. She won't bother Ethan anymore. As for other consequences, it's her own risk," Olivia said.

"I don't think so. Judging by her stubbornness, soon or later ,she will come back to me. She just found something more interesting than me," I said. And when she came again, I wouldn't let her go. I had to erase or alter her memories and stop her ambition to find out about me.
