The Incubus System Chapter 473. The Gargoyle King's Rage II

Gargoyle King's PoV

Zatan returned his gaze to the monitor and looked at the intruder's face again. Even though it only showed a quarter of the intruder's face, it was the only position where they could see him clearly.

He narrowed his eyes, focusing his gaze on that intruder.

"You're right. He looks like Letos' assistant. The Great Demon of the human world," Zatan admitted.

He had seen the live conference from start to finish, so he was pretty sure of it. But... didn't the incubus kill himself? Then, why was he here? Although many demons had a good disguise skill, from how the intruder behaved, he was pretty sure that the intruder's face was genuine.

Amid his confusion, a thought suddenly crossed his head. Or rather a guess. But this made everything sense.

"Wait a minute... What if Letos faked his assistant's death for his own benefit?" Zatan murmured.

"Why did he do it? What's the benefit?" asked one of the staff in confusion.

"Because he wants to deceive the king and all of us," answered Alpha's team leader out of the blue.

It made them turn to him. Except for Zatan of course. Instead, anger filled his eyes. His hands were clenched into fists for the same reason.

"That way, Lord Letos brought his assistant out of our frame and surveillance. Since we thought he was dead, Lord Letos can assign him to do many things in secret. If his agent fails, Lord Letos simply kills him once again and he will disappear without a trace. This incident will also divert the queen and the king's attention from Licheri to Avarici. That way Lord Letos can carry out his next plan. Whatever it is," the team Alpha leader added.

This time the team Beta leader continued his analysis.

"He was a dead demon from the start. Eliminating him once again is easy. As for his face, in a bad case, Lord Letos can say that the intruder only copied his dead assistant's face. Just like that, he can avoid all his responsibilities."

"And the reason why you can't identify his fingerprints is because he is an unidentified demon from a remote area or maybe... the human world," said Zatan. It was a wild guess, but it made the most sense of all.

Unlike humans, every time a demon died, its fingerprint would be automatically erased from any data. Due to their different forms, rather than a real fingerprint like humans, a demon's fingerprint was formed from the flow of Demonic Power within him. So it would disappear once the demon was dead and there was not a single magic technology that could prevent it. Letos could simply use this reason to cover up the fact that his assistant was an unidentified demon.

"But why is he after your plan?" said one of them.

"Didn't you hear what Letos' wife said at the last conference? That incubus is the human world's great demon. In other words, Letos has found a way to go to the human world, yet he hasn't told us anything. I guess he wants to take the human world for him alone. He has broken our agreement," Zatan hissed unhappily.

Zatan had heard this rumor about the great demon of the human world, but he thought it was just bullshit. Therefore he was surprised when Letos' wife pointed out that the great demon was Letos' assistant.

At first, Zatan guessed it was Letos' trick to cover up his scheme. But now, Zatan was starting to think that was the truth. Of course, Letos still did it to cover his scheme. He used it to kill the rumors about the human world's great demon and use his assistant for other purposes. In addition, this could also cover the fact that he had found a way into the human world. In other words, Letos' tricks at the last conference were not only to deceive Lord Damon but also to deceive his allies.

"But, that intruder could be only another demon pretending to be him," said the staff.

"It could be. But I can't think of anyone other than Letos. After all, no one knows about the bunkers other than him and a few other demon lords," said Zatan. The problem was, out of several demon lords, Letos was the only demon lord who liked to lie and play tricks.

"Do we need to ask for Licheri's confirmation, My Lord?" asked the Alpha team leader.

Zatan raised his hand slightly, indicating his disapproval.

"Letos will deny it for sure. We also don't need to show this footage to the public either. We will use this as our trump card," he replied.

"So, what's your plan, My Lord?" asked Beta's team leader.

"We'll investigate it ourselves." Zatan turned to his subordinates.

"Send some spies to Licheri and find out about Letos' plans. Also, send spies to the capital," he ordered.

"Why the capital? Is His Majesty also involved in this?" guessed the staff.

"Who knows? Better safe than sorry," replied Zatan. Lord Damon was a death demon and that incubus died in front of him. Lord Damon should be able to see death. But Letos could use another trick to fool the king. Otherwise, he would not have had the courage to put that stupid act in public. Besides, Letos once said that he had a secret trick. But when Zatan asked what it was, Letos said it was not the right time to reveal it yet.

"After all, if we don't find anything, we can keep an eye on the king and queen. We have to make sure they don't find out about our plans," added Zatan.

"I will immediately send some spies there," said Alpha's team leader.

"Should we inform the other lords?" asked the team Beta leader.

"We don't have any evidence other than this and all what I said is only based on my analysis. They would laugh at my face if they knew it. For the time being, tighten the city and the bunkers' security. Initiate a wide search for the intruder. He shouldn't have gone that far. I want you to catch him alive. After that, I'll drag him in front of Letos and the others."

"Yes, my Lord."

Zatan turned his gaze to the monitor.

'Letos... What game are you playing with us?'
