The Great Demon System

59 A Cool Reality

'No, this cannot wait. I need to talk to you now. This is very important,'

'I will call you on your watch. Tell Alex that it is me who is calling,'

'If he asks if he could hear our conversation, then let me talk to him and I'll clear things up. Trust me!' Moby said with resolve

'Ok…Of course I trust you… It's just hard to have 2 conversations at the same time…' She awkwardly replied.

Moby's group had already gone back to normal and regained their composure. However, all of them are now much more wary and fearful of Natalia.

Travis had restarted his conversation about what happened inside the boy's change room. Everyone in the group was listening intently to his story, this included Moby. However, he was only pretending.

"Ummm… guys, I have to make a call real quick. I promise it won't take too long!" Moby said with a smile, walking away from his group.

"Stop right there!" Moby heard Natalia's voice from behind him, making him look back.

"Is this person you will call Jayden Griffith?" She said with a smile, staring daggers into his soul.

"Heh heh, no. Of course not! I'm just calling my martial arts master for some advice on some new techniques I recently learned," Moby replied, seemingly unphased by her clear provocation towards him.

"Hmmm… very interesting… Can I listen in on this conversation? I have always been really interested in martial arts!" She said, clapping her hands together in excitement, putting on an innocent smile.

"No, I'm sorry. These techniques are a secret. They are not to be shared with any outsiders," Moby confidently replied.

"That's sad to hear… Well, you have fun! Don't take too long!" She said with an ominous giggle that gave Moby small shivers.

'Bullshit! I have looked over all your files and all information pertaining to you many, many, many, many, many times. You don't have a martial arts master… You have been self-taught ever since your parents died! I know you are talking to Jayden Griffith. I don't know what she is forcing you to do. But, don't worry my love! I will save you! You will be mine! AND MINE ALONE!' Natalia thought with a devilish smile, completely contrasting her angel-like equipment.

'Fuck! That was the best excuse I could come up with! If I said that I wanted to call my parents or any relative she would immediately know my lie. It is pretty much open information that I am an orphan and have no family left. It is also well known that I have no friends at school. Only a few people have ever caught me, Alex, and Ray, together and I have no intention of exposing that. Luckily, it is a lot less well known that I am self-taught in martial arts. I hope she didn't dig that far into me…' Moby thought.

Moby went into a completely secluded part of the arena. Then put on his earbuds to ensure no one can hear the watch's audio. Then, he called Jayden.

But, before he did, he decided to survey the area around him to see if? Natalia was spying on him, even using his energy sense.

'Fuck! I can't see her! But I can guarantee that she is 100% spying and listening in on me! I need to be extra careful!' Moby thought.

Moby called Jayden using his watch and waited for her to answer which only took a few seconds.

'Sorry if I am talking weird right now. I am currently being spied on by Natalia. I told her that I am calling my martial arts master as an excuse. But, I think she caught my lie. I'm currently trying my best to lead her on,' Moby said to Jayden using their mind link.

'Got it!' She quickly replied.

"Hey! Can you hear me!" Moby said into the watch.

"Oh sorry! Can I just take this call? It's Moby. Like he told you before. Our relationship is not what you think it is! I promise!" Jayden said from the other side.

"I believe that he is telling me the truth. But, I still feel like you might be manipulating him. You were never the type to make friends. Especially with a low rank like Moby. So why should he be any different? I will need to observe you more during this exam to see if you have truly changed. But, for now, I have 0 trust in you! If you will have a call with Moby, then let me hear as well!" Alex said.

"Lemme speak!" Moby said in a confident manner.

"I think he wants to talk to you…" She said, putting her wrist out towards Alex's face.

"Moby… I know you must have heard everything. But, trust me when I tell you I'm doing this for your own good! I've known Jayden for many years and not once has she been anything but deceitful. If she is acting nice to you. I'm sure it's for an ulterior motive…"

"Please… believe me just this once… I've never been so sure about something like this my whole life… What I told you the other day was 100% the truth! I understand that you might have many doubts. You can discover that those doubts are no longer true with your own eyes! I trust you! I can't explain everything to you right now. But, when this exam ends, I promise to tell you everything," Moby said into his watch.

"I promise I will be okay during this exam, master… You don't have to worry about me so much" Moby added with his microphone muted.

"I am happy to see that you have so much trust in me. I will respect your privacy and let you 2 have your conversation in private. I will keep an eye on her myself. I hope she really has changed as you said…" Alex said before walking away.

"Thank you very much…" Moby said with a smile.

As soon as Moby noticed that Alex had walked away, he muted his mic and tried his best to simulate a conversation between him and his "Master".

"Sooo… About that devil devouring fist technique… I have nearly mastered it! I am stuck on a few steps though… Can you help me out! I am stuck on the part where…"

'Ok, we are now safe… I will be pretending to talk to my non-existent master while at the same time talking to you. So, it might be a little harder for me to think,' Moby said.

'So, what's so important? Knowing you, it must be something pretty big…' Jayden replied.

'You know that Yandere chick I told you about this morning?'

'Well…? I just confirmed it myself. There is no doubt in my mind that the girl I saw yesterday and Natalia Xane are the same person!'

'I am her crush! I was that "man" and "true love" that she told you about every day!'

'You were nearly killed and abused every single day because of me!'

'But, now that I know that Natalia is doing everything for my sake. I think it would be wrong if I killed and tortured her.'

'It would feel wrong… I don't want to do that…'

'If we can convince her into being my servant either with words or by force, I would have complete control over her. Then, if she stays hostile, we can kill and torture her. But, if she agrees to join us, she would be a great asset,'

'I understand that you most likely hate her to death with a burning passion…'

'She abused, humiliated you, and nearly killed you everyday…'

'If I kill and torture her just like that, I would be no better than Nathan and all those people I despise…'

'I am extremely sorry… I hope you understand my situation…' Moby said with clear sincerity in his voice.

'WHAT THE FUCK!! I ENDURED ALL THAT FUCKING PAIN AND HUMILIATION FOR JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING!! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY!! THAT BITCH WILL DIE BY MY HANDS IN THE MOST PAINFUL WAY IMAGINABLE!! IF YOU STOP ME CONSIDER OUR FRIENDSHIP OVER!!'

After hearing that, Moby was visibly sweating, his skin completely pale.

'FUCK!! I screwed everything up due to stupidity! What the fuck am I supposed to do now! Did I just ruin everything!' Moby thought.

'Is what you expected me to say...right!?' Jayden snarkily added with a chuckle.

'Your next line is "What the fuck Jayden! You almost gave me a heart attack!",'

'What the fuck Jayden! You almost gave me a heart attack!' Moby said, just as he noticed that he fell for Jayden's act.

'Ok, jokes aside. I am pretty angry. I just like to joke around to lighten the mood at times like these,' Jayden said with a chuckle.

'I understand your situation and what must be going through your head. Personally, after what she did to me, I would kill and torture her without a second thought.'

'BUT, I respect your decision. It is hard to kill someone who devoted themselves to helping you. It would be better for the family in the long run if we gain a strong and possibly loyal member like her.'

'For your sake, I would endure the abuse and humiliation many times over without a second thought!'

'Sacrificing our friendship for such a petty reason would be childish!'

'However, I will make one request. If she is to be the next member of the family, I request that she is to be my personal maid and servant for half a year as punishment for what she did!'

'Don't worry, I won't be physically abusing her as she did to me. I will just make her do all the house chores instead of my butler and grovel and kiss my feet every day. Things like that!'

'And, she will make a formal apology to me in front of the entire school!'

'She abused and humiliated me for a month. So, I think it would be fair if I humiliated her for 6!'

'That is if she joins our household and has no motives of betrayal!'

'If that is not the case, then, I will have fun torturing the fuck out of her with you and Abby!' Jayden said in a playful manner.

After Moby heard Jayden speak. He felt so extremely happy and relieved. He felt so lucky to have found someone like Jayden in his life.

So much to the point that he almost blurted,

"Just fucking marry me already"

Before suppressing the urge to say it at the last second.

'Yes of course! I agree to your request!'

'And... thank you very much for having so much trust and respect in me and my decisions. It really means the world to me,'

'I don't know what I would have if my fears came true and your joke was actually the real deal,' Moby added with a chuckle.

'Ya, sorry about that one…' Jayden said with a cute giggle.

'And, don't worry about this kind of thing anymore. No matter what you do, I will follow you to the depths of hell if I had to! I'm certain Abby also feels the same way!'

'I will try to get along with Alex and prove to him I'm not like before. Don't worry, I will try my best to not alert my other teammates about anything important.'

'I will also be informing Abby about our conversation and our change of plans!' Jayden said in a cheerful tone.

'Yes, that would be great! Keep up the good work! I will contact you and Abby if anything else important happens,'

'Also, don't hesitate to contact me at any time if you need to report anything of significance or if you just want to talk,'

'I will try and contact both you and Abby at the end of every day to know your situations and to make sure that we are all on the same page, '

'That will be all!' Moby said in a serious tone.

'Got it!' Jayden replied with vigour.

'And, thanks a lot once again!' Moby said with a smile.

'Your welcome! And, good luck with Natalia!' Jayden said with a cute chuckle.
