Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 908: Chaos - I just laid down...

In a matter of FUCKING seconds, security guards busted open Dr. Lopez's door but all they saw was a group of people staring at each other, shocked to fuck, but my attention was someplace else.

You see, as Dr. Lopez screamed for her dear life, her little—no, her moderately-sized "device" flew up in the air and got stuck in the ceiling—wobbling and shit—and god knows how much longer it would be there because of the weight of said "device".

And if it fell, it would most definitely land either on the table or on Dr. Lopez's head, and it was just a bloody concussion waiting to happen.

One of the guards finally spoke up after the brief silence, "W-What's going on here?! Dr. Lopez, are you okay?! We heard a scream and—"

Dr. Lopez quickly snapped back to reality as she glared at the guards and shooed them away, "I-It's nothing! I was just s-surprised by my d-daughter and her friends! W-We're fine! We're totally fine! Carry on!

Carry on!"

"O-Okay, d-doctor…" the guard said as he turned to his colleagues, "False alarm, get back to your stations…"

As the guards gave us a brief look before they excused themselves, we were once again back in an intense and awkward staredown but it got even worse when the fucking dildo dropped down and miraculously landed on the table like a weird fucking version of the bottle flip challenge.

It was so fucking hard to keep a straight face as Dr. Lopez looked like she was about to kill us while the dildo was wobbling left to right like a metronome, but it didn't end there when Lopez—the one I fucking hate—bust through the door and knelt down.

"HONEY! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME! I'M SO SORRY— WHA— WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"

As I saw Lopez's reaction, I felt like I burst a vein somewhere in my head because I wanted to fucking laugh so bad but I couldn't. It was just one unbelievable thing after the other but what seemed like another fight between the husband and wife ensued.

"WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE?! DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT I WOULDN'T LISTEN TO YOUR LIES ANYMORE?!"

Lopez didn't know which topic to tackle first as he turned to his wife with a difficult expression, "H-HONEY! YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND—"

"OH! UNDERSTAND?! I UNDERSTOOD PLENTY! AND WHAT GOOD DOES A 50-YEAR-OLD WOMAN IS TO YOU ANYWAY?! YOU WERE HAVING SO MUCH FUN NEXT DOOR, RIGHT?! WHY'D YOU EVEN COME HERE TO TALK?!"

"H-HONEY—"

"DIDN'T I ALREADY SENT YOU AWAY WITH THE GUARDS YESTERDAY?! HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IN?!" Dr. Lopez glanced in our direction and probably had the same question for us but she turned right back to her husband, "DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL THE GUARDS AGAIN OR—"

Then Lopez tried to redirect the conversation towards me, "I-I'M GONNA LEAVE B-BUT WHAT IS HE EVEN DOING HERE A-ANYWAY?! And that… that… W-Why do y-you have that—"

Dr. Lopez flared up even more, "THAT'S NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS! GET OUT! OUT!"

"H-HONEY, I—"

"GUARDS! GUAAAARDS! HE'S HERE AGAIN! T-TAKE HIM AWAY!"

At that point, the guards were pretty close to hearing whatever just happened and they took him away and Lopez didn't put up much of a fight at the start. However, his eyes widened when he realized that the person wearing her hoodie over her head was Chloe but all he could do was shout a few words when he was being escorted away.

"L-LITTLE PRINCESS! IT'S DADDY! CAN YOU RECOGNIZE ME?! I DIDN'T SEE YOU— HEY! STOP PUSHING ME! P-PRINCESS!

IT'S— DADDY LOVES YOU! I'M TRYING TO SPEAK TO MY DAUGHTER— WE'LL TALK LATER, ALRIGHT?! I'M GONNA BE WAITING BY THE DOOR!"

Hearing that, I was already cringing enough as is but when I saw Chloe in tears as she rushed to hug her mom, I quickly pieced two and two together as my blood boiled.

Even Dr. Lopez seemed like she had forgotten everything that happened before her husband barged in and she was trying her best to calm her daughter down. It took Chloe a few minutes to finally compose herself and she wiped her eyes and gave us a smile before introducing everyone.

"U-Umm… M-Mom, t-they are m-my friends! You know Mimi, of course. That super pretty girl is Kaley and that s-super h-handsome guy is Sky! E-Everyone this is my mom… she's s-super hardworking and very, very smart but she doesn't know h-how b-beautiful she still is—"

Dr. Lopez instantly rolled her eyes as she sighed, "Enough with the jokes—"

Chloe chuckled as she turned to us, "See? Completely clueless!"

"Ma'am, in all honesty, you look like you're just in your 40s— no, maybe even late or mid-30s! You look amazing for fifty! Right?" Kaley said as she turned to me.

I nodded, "I-I agree… You don't look like you're in your 50s at all…"

Mimi chuckled from the side, "You can keep telling her that but she'll never believe you… Believe me, we tried…"

Dr. Lopez cleared her throat with a slight blush as she quickly hid her "device" away, "A-Again, enough with the jokes but why do I owe the visit? And Mimi, you just straight-up ran in the middle of your rounds yesterday! What happened?"

"U-Umm—"

I raised my hand slowly, "I… I think I'm the reason for that…"

"Oh?"

On that note, I gave her the TL;DR version of our brief but chaotic stay on our campus, but I did leave out some very important bits about what happened between me and Chloe's… bits, for lack of a better term.

But yeah, we did touch on the misunderstanding that happened between them to straighten up the stories she heard and to hear Chloe's side of things. And yeah, lemme tell you all that BOY~~~ she was so fucking pissed at those—Dr.

Lopez's own words—damn ugly-ass bitches, but the problem right now was that Chloe was already off the team while her supposed teacher who should also be dealt the same "punishment" was still their fucking manager, which was totally weird.

Furthermore, Chloe had already become the university's black sheep of sorts and her "violent" tendencies were something really difficult to turn over even if it had only been a week since the incident happened, and because there were no other witnesses present at the time and it was her word against the whole swim team.

And we can't just drop Kaley between them all and tell them that Chloe was telling the truth because that would just make us look more like lunatics trying to bend their own version.

Dr. Lopez was shaking her head as she was trying to figure out a way for her daughter, "This is really inexcusable and I'm also to blame for this… Dammit… We need to convince them to re-open the investigation and—"

Chloe cut her off, "I-I don't really care anymore, mom—"

"Don't say that, you love swimming! You have the fastest record in—"

"Mom, we don't even compete with other schools and even though that's a pretty pointless example now, it's almost meaningless if I'm the only one in the 'team' even if the truth comes out and they somehow take me back… I still have the lake to swim around and I'll find another thing to focus on—"

"Chloe… We at least need to clear your name—"

Chloe suddenly looked ticked off, "Why? So you don't get in trouble—"

"Chloe that's not—" Dr. Lopez's chest heaved up as her face flushed but she took a deep breath and composed herself, "Listen… I know that I've made a lot of mistakes as your mom and it's totally understandable that you're pissed at me but… Y-You're the only one I got…"

"...!" Chloe glanced at me momentarily before she turned back to Dr. Lopez.

"I know I should not have taken the job of two people—honestly, it feels like a job for four people at this point, but… I'm asking a lot of you to understand what I needed to do to keep us afloat and to have our needs met. I shouldn't complain but it has been difficult ever since your dad—"

"W-Wasn't he supposed to help you—"

Dr.

Lopez wore a difficult expression, "He is but… I think you have an inkling as to what he's been doing on the other side and even though him being there—because of the agreement the Academy had with this university—gives us some funds, I can't bear to use them for our sake so I… I use the credits we receive to purchase what it could as a uhh… a top-off… specifically for the girls he uhh… you know, had his way with—"

I cut in with a bit of anger in my tone, "W-Wait, are you saying you're paying them off to—"

"N-No! NO! I wouldn't— I-It looks like that a-and it is like that t-technically but t-that's all I can do… I know it's bad, really bad—what he's doing, but the General holds him in high regard and I can't do anything about it…" then she turned to Kaley, "And I also a-apologize for what happened to you… No words or gifts can excuse what he did…"

Kaley waved her off, "You shouldn't be the one apologizing for it… Besides, we've pretty much got more than even with him… technically speaking…"

I calmed down a fair bit, "Haaa… Anyway, we are still stuck with him until we find more people with the same blood—"

Dr. Lopez's ears perked up, "You're looking for people with O- blood? Why?"

"Its…"

It was then that I told her part of the reason he was traveling with us but I made sure not to mention my revenge plan against her husband because even though she hates his guts, casually dropping that I'd have his husband's organs removed after torture was something she shouldn't hear besides her daughter.

I've gone on the deep end several times but this mother and daughter were sheltered in this place like everybody else in it, and I didn't think we were that close and/or they hated Lopez enough to hear my plans for him.

Dr. Lopez was a little skeptical about what she just heard from me, "So, you're saying that if we find more people—no, two people that have the same blood as him that could also be in what's his name? JP? As long as we have those people by his side, they can replace Gibson? He actually agreed to that?"

"Exactly that. But you know, they should preferably be more… hands-off."

She nodded a few times, "My daughter's definitely out of the picture, she's not staying in that place or following around another kid as a spare tire. But you know what? I'll check the hospital records to see if there's someone that fits the picture and would be willing to take the job but it'll take a while."

'I guess I didn't have to ask her...'

I nodded approvingly, "Alright, I guess I'll leave you up to that but we'll still keep an eye out but don't forget to check the records of people coming in from the outside just to use the facilities—"

"I know, but I must ask something really, really important…"

I tilted my head sideways slightly, "What is it?"

All of a sudden, Dr. Lopez released an oppressive aura I've only ever felt from Marisha, Kaley's Mom. It made Chloe and Mimi take in a deep breath and Dr. Lopez stood in front of me and leaned very close as she looked me in the eye:

"What did you do to my daughter?"

Chloe tried to cut in, "M-Mom! It's none of your—"

Dr. Lopez glared at Chloe with an eerie smile, "I'm not talking to you," then she turned back to me, "And I'm talking to you. I asked you a question. Do you want me to repeat myself?"

"Dr. Lopez… T-To be honest—"

"HMM?!"

"I didn't do anything at all…"

"I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO REPHRASE THAT AND IF YOU LIE TO ME ONE MORE TIME—"

"I really didn't!"

"LIAR—"

"Chloe did most of the work! I just laid down…"

"YOU— Wut?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"
