The Incubus System Chapter 669. The Demon Hunter Chairwoman II

I closed my eyes and allowed the information to flood my mind, taking me on a tumultuous journey of discovery. My heart raced within my chest as I delved deeper into the Association's intentions, and my senses heightened to an almost unbearable degree. It was then that I saw the truth, the senator's real intentions laid bare before me, like an open book.

My mind reeled as I realized the magnitude of their plan - to make me their puppet, a hero with no desire or emotion other than to fight the demons that plagued our world. The reason for their devious scheme? My late human father and myself - The Great Demon, to be precise.

It was all clear to me now. They had succeeded in creating a vaccine that would create the strongest demon hunter. My father was supposed to be its host. But fate had other plans and my father passed away before he could take the vaccine. They could not simply let this powerful antidote go to waste, and thus I became their new target.

The Association, however, had a problem. I was not a fighter. Nathan had deemed me a coward after the last encounter we had. He even though I didn't have any will to fight. So, they decided to erase all my emotions and memories. In doing so, I would become a weapon, a tool for their own twisted purposes. They would have complete control over me, and I would be nothing more than a shell, devoid of any spark of humanity.

The Great Demon was their strongest reason for carrying out this devious plan. The crack in the veil that separated our world from the demons had only heightened their sense of urgency, leaving them with no choice but to act fast.

It was Damian who had become their main reason for needing a reliable warrior immediately. The senators had summoned Nathan before to test his mettle against the Great Demon, to see if he was truly capable of defeating such a formidable foe. But based on what had happened in our last encounter, it was clear that the power gap between us was too vast. Nathan and Mrs. Clea were no match for me, and even their secret weapon was useless against my strength.

Despite the fact that The Great Demon had helped them on several occasions, my mere existence and my gray position in the world made the senators afraid. The thought that there was another great power out there that they could not control was a terrifying prospect for them. It was no wonder that a plan to turn Ethan Strongheart into the senators' weapon was urgently needed.

I unearthed some startling revelations. It appeared that the senators had been investigating my blood and Celia's for over a year. The implications of this discovery were chilling, as it meant that they had been planning this scheme for much longer than I had initially thought.

But that wasn't the only thing that made my heart race. I also learned that Mrs. Clea had tried to cover up the fact that her subordinates had found a bit of my blood in the office where I had died. She had been perplexed by the fact that I had come out unscathed, and had not said a word about it to anyone about that blood. It was a close call.

That realization was also the reason why Mrs. Clea had been spying on me all this time. She had been biding her time, waiting for the right opportunity to present itself. And when Ruby had entered the picture, Mrs. Clea had seized the chance to take advantage of her crazy love to spy on me.

I sifted through Mrs. Clea's memories and came across a conversation she had with the senators. It seemed she had attempted to negotiate with them, begging them to spare me and Celia from their sinister plot. Having lost our father and been used as bait for demons for an entire year, she implored them to show us mercy and put an end to their twisted plans.

But her pleas fell on deaf ears. The senators were determined to go ahead with their scheme, regardless of the consequences. And so, Mrs. Clea found herself in an impossible situation, torn between her loyalty to the senators and her love for my dad.

It was no wonder then, that Ruby had been worried sick about me when I disappeared. She had seen first-hand how ruthless and determined the senators could be and feared the worst for me. And so, she had texted me incessantly, desperate for any news about my whereabouts.

I opened my eyes with a gasp, the rush of information still fresh in my mind. My heart pounded in my chest as if I had just completed an intense workout. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead, despite the cool air of the room.

'That's why…' I thought. My emotions were a turbulent mix of sadness, anger, disappointment, and gratitude, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her. Despite the loss of my father and the dangers that loomed over us, she had not given up on us. And for that, I was truly grateful.

I glanced at Alan who was playing with my pets in the corner of the room, watching him interact with my furry friends, and made sure he didn't pay attention to me.

Then I turned my gaze to Mrs. Clea. With a snap, I canceled My Mind Corruption skill. Mrs. Clea's eyes cleared, and she blinked a couple of times. Her face regained its natural color. She was once again fully present at the moment.
