The Incubus System Chapter 574. Talk or Fight I After that, Lord Damon made a hole where the door was, so Azrael could leave the room without breaking the barrier. "I assume you'd rather talk to us than fight, right?" I asked once Azrael left and the barrier covered the room again. But instead of answering me, she answered me with another question. “Tell me the real reason. How did you know I'm here?” she repeated her question in a displeased tone. "Didn't we already tell you the reason?" I replied, frowning. I didn't understand why she kept asking about it when the answer was obvious. Nefaris giggled and folded her hands in front of her chest. “Looks like someone is in denial~,” she said in a mocking tone. Syntyche scoffed. “Do you think I will buy it?” she said in a sarcastic tone. Upon her words, I immediately realized that she was worried about something else. Or rather, she had another guess. "What's your point Syntyche?" said Lord Damon without further ado. I bet he was aware of the same thing. “Was it Zatan and Beel that suggested you come here? Did they come to ask you to spare their lives?” she said in anger. That explained everything. From her words, I deduced she thought Zatan and Beel had sold her to redeem their crime. “Unfortunately, no,” said Lord Damon. A wicked grin appeared on his lips. “If they did it, I would happily cut their heads and eat their souls before they left.” Unlike his troll mode, his seriousness was evident from the tone of his voice. His intimidation was clear and the tense atmosphere was real. So yeah, he meant it. He would do that if Zatan and Beel came to him. Upon his threat, a grin of excitement appeared on Nefaris' lips. “Ha… I love the smell of death and blood.” Somehow it made me realize that their status as a Death Demon was not just for show. Their response made The Spider Queen frown. "They didn't come to you?" she made sure in disbelief. “As I said, we came for the same reason as you. Azrael is the oldest among us, so we thought of visiting him and saying hello,” I explained. A smirk appeared on my lips. "But who knows we got something better than that." My killing intent wasn't as bad as Lord Damon and Nefaris, but getting something better than I expected did make me happy. "So you're saying all of this is just a coincidence?" she confirmed. “More or less,” I said lightly. "So do you want to talk or fight?” asked Lord Damon straight to the point. I quickly telepathed him. 'Dad, we promised Azrael that we won't fight here,' I reminded him. 'Heh. Just invite him. So we can gangbang her four versus one,' he said in a nonchalant tone. I held back my cringe desperately. I never thought that he was such a bully. 'He mentioned Battle Royale, remember? He won't think of any of us as his friends,' I reminded him once again. 'Who cares? I don't mind with battle royale either.' It made me turn to him and glare at him. A frown on my forehead. 'You just recovered! Are you crazy?!' I yelled internally. Why he was so childish?! "Tch!" he clicked his tongue in displeasure and turned his head to the other side as if I was an annoying parent who got in the way of his fun. An exhale left my mouth before I turned my gaze to Syntyche and cleared my throat. "I believe you prefer to talk.” "I do, if you don't mind," she welcomed my offer. “So what do you want to know about Zatan and Beel?” she said without hesitation. I was surprised since she mentioned Zatan and Beel right away. “You know you just sold them, right?” I confirmed. It was too easy. At least, I thought I should do something to her first before she gave the information. But maybe, she was that disappointed after Zatan and Beel betrayed her. “They are not my friends or allies anymore. After they asked for my help, they ditched me in the last seconds. Hell with them!” she said in a firm tone. Her anger was clear in every word. “Since you don't mind it. How about we start with the basic question? Do you know where they are?” Lord Damon snatched the first question from me. "I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't be here," she replied. "Oh great. After that 'they are not my friends or alliance anymore', now you give me this bullshit,” Lord Damon scoffed in displeasure. "I'm sure you should have a clue where they are." That made her even angrier "If I have it, then why am I here? Why didn't I run with them? Why do I have to seek other demons to protect me?” she answered with a series of questions. “I'm sure you have talked a lot during your alliance. At least you have an idea or two about where they are,” I pointed out what we mean. "I don't have it," she replied in a firm tone. "Oh c'mon. You can't be that stupid, can you?" said Lord Damon in disbelief. His tone made it sound like a mockery. “You can call me stupid or whatever. But I've checked every place they've talked about and found nothing. They just left me dead,” she explained in anger. “You must be kidding me,” I said, raising one eyebrow. “Or lying,” added Lord Damon. Yeah, she could be lying. But my Observation skill didn't show any of that, so I was sure she spoke the truth. This coincidence also showed that she didn't spread her Spyder much. I was guessing it was because she knew we were looking for her and some special demon like Curtis could see the thin demonic web connecting her Spyder with her. I was aware this interrogation would be futile. So to get information from her, I decided to offer something beneficial for both of us. Something Lord Damon had mentioned before. “Make a contract with me, Syntyche,” I said out of the blue.
