Chapter 662: Why You Aren't Happy?

The Incubus System Chapter 652. Why You Aren't Happy?

I let out a deep breath and smiled wryly. "Nothing," I replied simply to my pets, who were eyeing me with concern.

Buni tilted his head to the side. "That can't be nothing," he said.

Red growled low in his throat. "Did those humans hurt you? I will kill them all. Just tell me when I should do it." His eyes glowed with a fierce, protective light.

I shook my head from side to side and huffed in frustration. "It's not the case, Red," I said. 

Red grunted, but backed off a bit, allowing me to continue. "Then what?" he asked again, his eyes still narrowed in suspicion.

I hesitated for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "It's my mom," I finally confessed.

Rave, who had been silent until now, spoke up in confusion. "The Queen?"

I corrected myself. "My human mom," I said, my voice tinged with sadness.

The confusion was palpable on their faces. "Okay," they said in unison. However, their confusion only seemed to deepen. "Then?" they asked once again, despite the fact that I was sure they had no idea about the situation I was in. They did not know my human mother and father, and I had only shared a limited amount of information about the human world and Celia with them.

"They've found her," I said, my voice steady as I tried to contain my emotions. "So I have to go to the police station this afternoon."

Red furrowed his brows in confusion. "Is that good news?" he asked, his tone cautious.

I nodded, trying to put on a brave face. "It is good news," I confirmed, despite the nervous knots that had formed in my stomach.

Buni looked at me with a hint of skepticism. "For you?" he asked, making sure.

Again, I nodded, but my smile was small and forced.

Shadow finally spoke up. He turned to me, his piercing eyes studying me carefully. "You look weird and I know you aren't happy for sure. Is that really good news? Or do you lose your guts every time you are in this form?" he asked, his voice low and serious.

Shadow's question hit me like a ton of bricks. Although it wasn't exactly what he said, he was partially correct. I would be more careful if I were in my human form, especially in public. I did this to maintain a positive reputation in the human world and to protect my identity. Most importantly, to keep my loved ones safe.

In the demon world, I had power and prestige. My father was the ruler of that world, which made things much easier for me. But in the human world, I was powerless. I had some power, but the humans could use my partners as a weakness against me. Sure, they were protected by my Incubus Protection, so they shouldn't be harmed. But what about my other friends, like Larry? I couldn't just turn him into a demon against his will.

"I didn't lose my courage," I explained. "It's just that my problems in the human world are more complicated than they are in the demon world."

Shadow looked at me with his piercing gaze. "You are strong, so you should be able to easily overcome these problems," he said confidently. "Isn't power the key to solving all problems?"

I couldn't blame Shadow for his perspective. In the demon world, power was indeed the solution to most problems. But in the human world, it was much more complicated. Sure, in some cases, I could use my power to control the higher-ups and keep my friends safe. But it wasn't a guaranteed solution.

"I wish the human world was that simple," I said with a chuckle. "Unfortunately, it's not."

Red looked at me curiously. "What else leads a world besides power?" he asked.

Shadow scoffed. "Are you trying to say that the human world is ruled by weak people? People who can't even protect themselves in the face of danger?" he asked with a tone of disbelief.

I sighed. "No, that's not what I'm saying. The human world is not just about power, other things play a role in how society functions. Things like laws, values, ethics, and morality." I explained. "It's a complex system, and it's not as simple as just having power. There are also many other things that influence it."

"Like?" they asked in unison. Their confusion was clear from their face and voice.

I glanced at all of them alternately before I spoke again. "Money? Network? Status?" I answered them.

Red tilted his head with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. "Don't you have them too?" he queried, his tone steeped in confusion and disbelief.

I drew in a deep breath. "Yes, I do," I replied in a measured voice. "However, they have something more, something that gives them an edge and puts them at a distinct advantage over me."

Shadow, who had been observing our exchange with silent intensity, suddenly spoke up, his voice sharp and filled with a sense of urgency. "So are you going to let them trample you?" he asked, his gaze fixed intently on me, his eyes reflecting his unwavering determination to see this situation through to its conclusion.

With equal determination, I gazed back at him, a fire burning brightly in my eyes. "No, I will not allow them," I answered firmly, my voice ringing out with an unmistakable note of resolve.

Then I switched my gaze to my palm. "I have come back to this world with a purpose, a plan to control it from behind the scenes." Slowly, I clenched my hand into a fist, as if I was grasping the world in it. "But I need time to make it happen." My voice was firm and resolute, a sign that I was serious.

The others in the room listened intently, their eyes fixed upon me as I spoke. I could sense their fascination and intrigue, as they hung upon my every word, eager to learn more about my plan.
