The Incubus System Chapter 528. Disbelief
The Demon Lords' PoV
Still, Letos was determined to clear up the misunderstanding between them first. He cleared his throat.
"Right. Since we're here, I would like to clarify a few things," he started their conversation. He never thought what the mysterious incubus did could have such a bad effect on their alliance. He even didn't understand why they could be sure it was him who sent the incubus. How could they blame one of his own kind's crimes on him? That didn't make sense!
"If you want to explain what happened to our cities, I know it's not you," said Zatan curtly. He knew Letos invited them to deny what he had done where things were bright as the red moon for them.
All the clues and evidence point to Letos, so his defense would sound like empty bullshit to them. But they could understand his desperate excuse since they hadn't shown him any clues or evidence.
It left Letos speechless. A frown on his forehead. His confusion was clear since this was even worse than he thought. He didn't understand what made them blame him.
"Okay. I think all the misunderstandings between us have been resolved. We should go now, this place stinks like my poo poo. It takes away my appetite," said Beel over Letos' silence. Still, despite the smell, he was busy shoving a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.
While Syntyche chose to remain silent and observe everything, especially Letos. Her investigations had not yielded any results since the incubus disappeared like the smoke. She had also tried looking for demons that didn't have Demonic Power and couldn't find him.

Likewise with the four demon generals. So even though her instincts told her that something was off, after all the clues, she had no other choice but to trust Zatan and Beel's analysis.
"I'm not done yet. We have a lot to talk about," Letos retorted before they stood up from their seats.
Zatan rolled his eyes to the side, showing his disbelief.
"Like?" he scoffed.
"Let's be honest guys. I know you think the incubus that attacked your places is me, right? But he also attacked my city. Even though he is my kind doesn't mean he is on my side, "Letos replied straight to the point. Even though he hated it, if he didn't explain, the alliance would be broken and his plans would be in vain. And like it or not, he needed them to get rid of Lord Damon and Lilieth. He realized he wasn't strong enough to do it alone.
"You mean, tried to attack Lilieth?" Beel corrected his words with a cynical tone.
"We know the incubus attacked several important cities including the capital, but he didn't attack you at all. Isn't that strange?" added Zatan.
"We also know what happened at the conference and Licheri's prison is part of your plan. I thought we would share our plans with each other, yet you acted alone," Syntyche finally opened her voice.
Obviously, the three of them tried to corner him.
"What happened in the capital and the conference was indeed my doing, but others were not. It was just my spontaneous plan after all." Letos explained.
Zatan let out a cynical scoff.
"It looks too organized as a spontaneous plan," he quipped.
Letos gritted his teeth.
"I have to. Or the king will catch us," he reasoned. His displeasure was getting clearer.
The others answered him with a mocking scoff, indicating their disbelief.
"Then what about 'the human world's great demon'?" asked Zatan.
"I bet he'll say he has killed him or something. Besides, isn't that what he's showing the whole world?" Sneered Beel.
"What are you talking about? Didn't I say The human world's Great Demon is in the human world and I haven't found a way to get there? My assistant had failed to open the path. What I killed at the conference was my other assistant. He was so useless and failed to spy on the king!" Letos began to raise his voice in anger.
"Right. We believe in you," Syntyche said in an indifferent tone. But clearly, they didn't.
Due to their response, Letos realized his emotions would make things worse so he decided to swallow all his anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Look. What happened in your cities is not my doing. I was under house arrest when all that happened. How could I roam around and make a mess?" he said in a much calmer tone. He tried to get them to take them on their logic.
"I don't know. A secret pathway maybe?" replied Beel with a nonchalant shrug.
"And a double," Syntyche added.
"Or some forbidden skills that can cover your Demonic Power," Zatan continued.
"What?! You know none of them to exist," Letos replied with a frown. His voice rose again. From their response, he could tell they were taking it as a joke.
"Really?" said Zatan in disbelief.
"Except my double. But that's for TV only. You know we can't cover our Demonic Power," Letos admitted in a calmer voice.
"Right. I totally believe that" Zatan sneered.
"Yup," Beel added.
While Syntyche shook her head from side to side and gave him a condescending look.
- Bang!
Letos smashed the table with his palm hard to release his anger and it made the table split open. But the other demon lords didn't flinch, only Beel immediately saved his previous ice cream. They had expected this.
"Do you think this is a joke?! I know you have been attacking my city these past few days. My city hall is in a mess. There are 3 big holes in my protocol streets. My club was on fire. Several of my important documents and over a hundred kilograms of my gold were stolen. Not to mention some minor cases of food poisoning. Yet… I'm not asking you for any compensation since I know this is all just a misunderstanding. We need to stick together if we want to dethrone the king and rule the human world!" Letos snapped.
