The Incubus System Chapter 202. Why Did You Do This...

My eyes stared at my portal which was getting smaller before it disappeared in front of .

[Celia Strongheart and Foxy have arrived at their destination]

[The portal has closed! ]

Like before, after we finished our breakfast, I ordered Foxy to follow Celia. Although Celia objected at first, she finally agreed after I told Foxy would be bored if she stayed at ho all day. Whereas I couldn't take her with since I would execute my plan today. Apart from that, I also told Celia that I would be ho late tonight.

My hands moved to clean up the table and took the dishes to the sink as I connected myself to Foxy.

[You are connected to Foxy.]

'How is it?' I asked.

'Everything is going well, Master. No one caught us,'she replied. As always, she was using her hiding skill.

'Good, please take good care of Celia,' I said.

'Okay.'

After that, I ended our conversation.

[You have disconnected with Foxy.]

I washed the dishes, cleaned the table and went to take a shower. After wearing my clothes, since I still had a lot of ti, I decided to check my system especially about my Demon's Rule skill, I also searched for more information and news about Myra, Miguel, Tempestechnologies and Nightbough. corp via the internet. But since I didn't get any aningful information except cheap gossip, I finally decided to study for next week's exams.

The clock ticking sound filled my room as I sat with my back against my bed's headboard. Occasionally my hand swung to my side to turn a thick book that floated in front of with my Telekinesis skill. Of course, before that, I had closed my window curtain to prevent Ruby and Mrs Clea from catching using this ability.

After I finished, I stretched out my hand and my book floated into it. Then I glanced at the clock near .

10.17 AM

My class started at noon and ended at 03.00 PM today, so I still had plenty of ti. But I decided to leave for College early to hang out with Emma and Olivia since their class was earlier than mine. I got up from my bed, stuffed my books into my bag and walked down the stairs to put on my shoes. As I just put my bag on the sofa, the doorbell's sound ca.

* Ting Tong *

I let out a tired sigh. Celia and I hardly ever bought things online, so I was sure it was not the delivery man. And our relative hardly ever visited here. After all, my father was an only child and most of my relatives were from my mother's side. So I guessed it was the person who had been bothering since yesterday. Ruby. Reluctantly, I walked towards the door and opened it.

"Yes?" I said in a nonchalant tone.

But apparently, my guess was wrong, it was the postman.

"Morning, sir. You got an important mail from Aeros Gold Bank." His hand passed an envelope to .

"Thank you, sir." I took it from his hand with a confused face and closed the door. I read the na on the envelope in curiosity since I didn't have an account at that bank, neither did my late father and Celia. My brows creased when I realized the letter was addressed to my mother.

Feeling weird since my mom has left us for quite a while, I opened it. As I read it, my eyes widened and my anger peaked. My blood boiled in anger and disappointnt. It was a vacate letter from the bank. They asked Celia and to vacate the house because the house was confiscated since my mother couldn't pay her loan after using the house certificate as collateral. And we only had one month for that. My heart skipped a beat as I ran to my father's room. I opened the door and imdiately opened the drawer with the key that my father had hidden under his pile of clothes. Even though I knew where the certificate was, I never touched it or examined it after my father's death. Moreover, Celia and I were devastated by his sudden death.

I unlocked my father's small safe box and opened it. My hand took all the important papers there and checked them one by one, but I could not find the house certificate, which indicated that the vacate letter was genuine. I guessed my mother took it after my father's funeral since she picked up so of her belongings that were left behind in this room before she disappeared. After all, the only ones who knew the keys were , my father, mother and Celia.

I leaned my back against the wall beside . My body felt weak and my strength disappeared instantly.

"Mom ... Why did you do this to us ..." I muttered in disappointnt and sadness. She already got my father's compensation money, now she made this house certificate as collateral and made and Celia had to leave this house. But of course, I wouldn't give up just like that.

After a long sigh to calm my anger, I put the papers into the safe and read the vacate letter again.

'I have to go to the bank to take care of this tomorrow,' I thought. The association's compensation money should be more than enough to redeem the house certificate. It was just that I wouldn't stop there, I planned to search for information about my mother's whereabouts from them. Then I rembered sothing. My feet moved quickly down the stairs and I took my laptop from my bag. I opened it, quickly connected to Wi-Fi and looked for information about Aeros Gold Bank.

"Got it," I said with a grin. As I expected, Aeros Gold Bank was Nightbough. corp's subsidiary company. So I could ask for Camila's help for this, but of course, I would talk about it after I took care of Miguel and Myra. Besides, I still had a month. That should be more than enough.

I turned off my laptop and put it along with the letter in my bag. I decided to take it and show it to Tiffany if I t her later since I wanted to get as much information as possible from her. Besides, I didn't want Celia to find out about this, at least until I could take care of this since I was sure this would make her depressed, especially since she just found out my real identity.

* Ting Tong *

The doorbell's sound ca once more when I closed my bag.

"Who else this ti?" I walked towards the door and opened it.

"Good morning, Ethan," said Ruby politely. Her hesitation was clear in her voice. Different from yesterday, she wore a regular dress instead of her maid costu which was covered with a coat. Besides that, it was different from her usual attitude, this ti she looked more polite and far ---- less naughty. Looks like yesterday's incident gave her a big blow.

"Good morning, Ruby. Is there anything I can help you with?" I said in an indifferent tone.

"Uh ..." She looked hesitant to say it.

"Can you speak more clearly?" I demanded bluntly. I was in a bad mood now, so I was not interested in playing stupid gas like yesterday. My mind was full about the crack problem and my fruitless investigation's results, also my emotions were still unstable because of the vacate letter.

"Uh ... I want to go to work. Shall we go together?" Her hesitation was still clear.

"No, thanks. I still want to take care of a few things at ho," I refused without further ado. Besides, I wanted to go to my college with my portal skill.

Her disappointnt was clear on her face and she lowered her head.

"Is there anything else you need?" I decided to end our conversation.

She didn't answer . I knew she was sad because I turned her down, but I needed my space to calm myself.

"Since you ---" I was just about to end it, but she spoke again.

"I'm sorry..."

I was stunned, not only because of her words but also because as soon as she lifted her head, I could see her teary eyes and regretful face.

"I know what I did yesterday was wrong, but I never thought you would be this angry at ... Please don't hate ..." she continued in a gloomy tone.

'Does she really regret it?' Since I doubted her, I decided to use my observation skill to check her emotions and from it, I could conclude that she was really sorry about it.

"I've forgiven you. Just don't repeat it again. I've got a lot of work lately, so I don't have ti to fool around," I gave her a little explanation.

"I understand. I know you're busy but today is my last day at Mrs Clea's house. Besides, the Nighthallow Station's incident was terrifying, so I thought ..." she took a glance at . I knew she hoped that I could accompany her for one last ti either because of her feelings or because she wanted to protect from the demons since one of her emotional statuses was 'worried'.

"Fine. But this is the last ti and I can only accompany you to the station. Are you fine with it?" Finally, I gave her a chance. But of course, if she still wanted to play with and tried to follow to college, I wouldn't hesitate to get on the wrong train and escape with my portal skill, leaving her to play hide and seek alone.

"The last ti?" she muttered in objection. After a tired breath left her mouth, she spoke again.

"I understand," she replied in a slightly gloomy tone. It seed like she had realized her mistake.

"Wait a second." I took my bag and put on my shoes.

"Are you okay to leave your work behind? I can wait if you haven't finished it," she said worriedly.

"It's fine. I'll continue it at my college." I locked the door.

"Let's go." And we walked out of my yard.
