The Incubus System Chapter 152. Don't Lie To

"Do you guys know each other?" Larry's voice broke the silence between us. I never told anyone about Tiffany, including to Larry. Besides, I only t her twice. The first was before my mother married my stepfather and the second was at my mother's second wedding.

"Yes," I said without taking my eyes off her. My heart was beating fast and my feelings were mixed. Since finding Tiffany was tantamount to finding my mother. The problem was I didn't know whether she wanted to tell or not.

"Long ti no see, Ethan," she greeted in a cold voice. From her expression, I could tell she was unhappy to see , so was I. There was a bitter feeling in my heart because she was able to get my stepfather and my mother's love, while they dumped Celia and like trash.

"Yes, it's been so long, Tiffany. How have you been?" I said as I kept my composure.

"Good," she answered in a nonchalant tone. She turned to Larry and Emma who were standing in silence since they caught how my mood changed drastically after eting Tiffany. And I was sure Tiffany had also recognized Larry and Emma as demon hunters just like her.

"Looks like you made so good friends," she said with a smirk. A second later, her expression turned cold again as a breath escaped her mouth.

"Oh well --- since you look fine, I'll assu Celia is also fine and I will end this unuseful conversation here." Then she walked away.

As she had just walked past a few steps, I spoke again.

"Where do you live now?" I asked straight to the point.

She stopped her steps.

"Why do you want to know about that?"

I clenched my hands, holding back my mixed feelings, rembering what my mother had done to and Celia.

"Answer , where's mom?" Even though I kept my voice down, traces of my anger were clear from my tone.

She turned around and gave a challenging look.

"I'm sorry. You asked the wrong person. How do I know where your mom is?" Despite her words, she said it in a displeased tone. Then she turned around casually and resud her steps.

I chased her as I gritted my teeth in displeasure and blocked her way. And she stopped in her tracks.

"Don't lie to . Where's mom?" I said with a glare.

"I don't know," she replied curtly. Then she shifted to the side to get past , but I also shifted to block her.

She responded with another glare.

"What do you want?"

"Tell where is she? I just want to talk to her," I insisted.

"I told you I don't know," she replied in a displeased tone.

"You live with her," I said in the sa tone as her.

She let out a short bitter chuckle.

"I've left them for a long ti."

"Do you think I will believe that?" She obviously got a better life and affection than and Celia, there was no reason for her to leave.

She sighed in exasperation.

"It's up to you to believe or not. They don't live in Aeros anymore but have moved overseas and I don't want to go with them nor leave my job." Her gaze was suddenly filled with hatred and anger.

"Besides, I don't want to live with lunatics who killed my mom."

This ti not only disbelief but confusion also filled my head.

"What happened? Since when did they move out?" I asked impatiently. I guessed Tiffany didn't co with them, because she didn't want to leave her job as a demon hunter or maybe she couldn't.

"They have moved out since ten months ago. The reason was ..." She paused, this ti I could see the sadness in her eyes.

"Because they've committed a sin that I can't forgive." She paused again as she looked at .

"Besides, soone is constantly disturbing their life."

I frowned again. My confusion was clearly visible on my face. My mother's number which was used to contact and transfer money to was registered in Republic Eros. If she had moved overseas ten months ago, she should have used a different number.

'Is she lying?' I quickly checked her with my observation skill and found her emotional status was honest, angry, jealous and sad. From her honest status I knew she didn't lie, she was angry maybe because she t but why was she jealous and sad? Because I ca with Emma and Larry? Or because Theo was injured? But I didn't find that emotion when I checked her out earlier.

"What do you an?" My curiosity filled my head. I didn't understand what happened.

But instead of answering my question, she let out another bitter chuckle and folded her arms in front of her chest. Her body leaned towards , her face closer to mine.

"Does it feel good to live under soone else's protection?" she asked in a cynical tone.

"Under soone else's protection?" I repeated in confusion. I never felt protected by anyone. Besides, if I was being protected, I shouldn't have died a week ago.

"Shouldn't that question be for you? You live with your dad and my mom. You don't have to struggle like ." This ti I also replied with a cynical tone.

She smirked bitterly.

"I told you I didn't want to live with lunatics who killed my mom."

"What happened?" I repeated my question. I had heard her say that before, but she only gave confusing pieces of the puzzle, as if she mocked .

She pulled her face away from and smirked in satisfaction with my confusion.

"I have no obligation to tell you." She gave a polite nod.

"Have a good day, Ethan," she said calmly. Then she walked away, trying to pass again, but I got in her way. And when she shifted to the side, I shifted to follow her.

"Move," she said with a glare.

"Tell what happened," I repeated in a firm tone. She was my only clue, I couldn't just let go of her, especially after she played around with and made curious.

"I said move," she said in the sa glare.

I smirked.

"Make ," I challenged her.

"As you wish," she said confidently. Tiffany lifted her hand to push

anwhile, as soon as Larry caught Tiffany's intention, he almost ca over to since he knew the difference between an ordinary person and a demon hunter's strength. But Emma extended her arm to the side to stop him and shook her head side to side. She knew I could not lose to Tiffany and this was my family problem.

As Tiffany's hand almost landed on , I caught it. She looked surprised and quickly pulled her hand away, but I didn't budge.

"I'll let you go after you tell what happened," I said.

"No." The look in her eyes did not change. She tried to push with her other hand and I caught it with my other hand. Again, when she tried to pull it, I didn't budge.

"Tell what happened?" My voice was getting higher. My bad thoughts along with questions began to fill my head. Did my mother and stepfather kill Tiffany's mother? That's why they moved out? Then what did she an by I was living under soone's protection? And why after they left my mother was still able to reach with the Republic Aeros number?

"Let go!" she snapped.

"Then answer my question!" I replied with another snap. I lost my temper.

"Ehem!" A man's voice ca from our side. At our side, a nurse was standing and looking at us angrily. But I did not turn my face away from Tiffany and our eyes stared at each other like mortal enemies.

"This is a hospital, not a fighting studio. Please get out," said the nurse. Despite his low voice, I knew he was mad at us. Moreover, this was a special treatnt room corridor.

"Of course, we're gonna finish this outside. Am I, right, Tiffany?" Again, I said with a glare.

She let out an exasperated sigh since she knew she wouldn't be able to escape from .

"Fine." After that answer, I loosened my grips and she pulled her hands roughly. Without further ado, she walked past to the elevator.

I turned to Larry and Emma.

"I'll be right back." Then I went after Tiffany.
