Trouble Always Found Me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why all people, her?' I complained internally, sobbing. As I stood there, with Tiffany by my side, I couldn't help but wonder why I always seemed to attract the attention of dangerous girls like Ruby and Elenna. It was as if I was a magnet for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't me who was looking for trouble but it was trouble that always found me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I made a sound, Ruby spoke, \"I took a break and was about to see you,\" she said. Despite the crowd that surrounded us, it felt as though we were in a haunted house and she was the ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" I tried to keep my voice steady as I responded to her. I even tried to put my best smile on my face. I knew Ruby was not someone to be messed with, and I knew that we were in deep trouble. Okay, not me but Tiffany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ruby's gaze shifted to Tiffany, I could see the color drain from Tiffany's face, and I knew that she was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But who knows I'll meet you here with her...\" Ruby's voice hissed like a snake, and I could see the clear jealousy in her eyes. Yes, it might sound ridiculous but it was Ruby after all. Besides, wasn't Olivia ever jealous of Larry before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I was about to open my mouth to say something, Tiffany's hand on my shoulder stopped me. I turned to her, and she looked at me with a sense of urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ethan, I just remembered today is my laundry day!\" she said quickly, her voice laced with fear. I could see from her pale face that she was lying, but I knew that she was afraid of Ruby and she knew that she had to get out of here before it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck step bro,\" she whispered. \"I hope you will survive...\" And with that, she dashed away, leaving me standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made me cringe. I couldn't believe that Ruby's bad reputation was known by all demon hunters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Ethan...\" Ruby's voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned to face her, trying to keep my emotions in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you with her?\" Ruby asked again, her eyes piercing into mine. I didn't answer, instead, I just gave her a flat stare and approached her casually. An exhale came out of my mouth, trying to calm myself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently, my finger tapped on her forehead. \"She's my step-sister, and we just went through a really bad day. Don't scare her like that,\" I warned her, my voice calm but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her words, my calm tone suggested otherwise. Indeed, I didn't like what Ruby did, but after what I saw from my mom's memory, I felt Ruby was way better than my mom. At least Ruby cared about me, and her feelings for me were genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gesture made her eyes widen in shock, and her hand instinctively touched her forehead and rubbed it gently. Her eerie expression faded, and her cheeks started to blush. I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, knowing that I had broken through her tough exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to talk, right?\" I offered, my voice calm and collected. \"How about a talk at your cafe?\" I suggested, hoping to diffuse the situation and ease the tension between us. \"Also…\" I took the bag from her hand and smiled. \"I will assume this is for me. Thank you...\" I said, trying to lighten the mood. It was a small gesture, but I knew it would mean a lot to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started walking in the direction of the cafe, my mind filled with consideration of what I should tell her. But after a few steps, I stopped and turned to her, who had not made a single step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you coming?\" I asked, my eyes on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just stood there, stunned. Her eyes were wide and her body tense. I could see the surprise and shock etched onto her face. Perhaps she was taken aback by my casual reply, or maybe she was surprised that I didn't run away like last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else are you waiting for?\" I asked, gesturing for her to follow me. I was determined not to let the awkwardness between us linger any longer than necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not afraid of me? Or run like last time?\" asked Ruby in disbelief. Her amazement was clear on her face, and I couldn't help but find it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled, trying to ease the tension between us. \"Why should I?\" I asked, my voice soft but firm. \"Or would you prefer me to be afraid of you?\" I teased, hoping to put her at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, I had run away from her, not because I was afraid, but because Larry had pulled me away. I wasn't really scared of her. After all, with my strength, I was not afraid of anything… except betrayal. I had learned that lesson the hard way, and I wasn't about to let anyone get the best of me again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head shook back and forth in a quick, almost violent motion. The question had caught her off guard, and for a moment, she struggled to compose herself. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her racing heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. \"Great,\" I said, turning around and walking down the busy street. \"Let's go to your cafe. I'm feeling a little hungry, anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded. Happily, Ruby chased after me, her steps light and quick. Once she caught up to me, she didn't hesitate to hug my arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have a new menu,\" she said, her voice filled with excitement. \"I think you should try it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: In case you want to send a gift for this novel, please send \u002Fbook\u002Fvillain-mmorpg-almighty-devil-emperor-and-his-seven-demonic-wives_25760862505799905\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>>Read the original on \u002Fbook\u002Fthe-incubus-system_17150947806784305\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>>Read more than 230 chapters ahead of TIS + 5 weekly update + 96 Extra R18 chapters + access to all R18 ASMR +R18 poll R18 scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Pat*reo*n-page: pat*reon.*com\u002Fnanakawaichan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(erase the *)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ko-fi page: ko-fi.*com\u002Fnanakawaichan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Discord: discord.gg\u002FmSRHyMVhnG\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-05T22:19:20.610Z",1,"novelbin.me","351bc7f5de99a6ec41be25ed70616074b437a9c24c2b963af8001360a51095e7","the-incubus-system-chapter-671","the-incubus-system-chapter-669",873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-incubus-system-cover.jpg"]
