Chapter 98
The demon meanwhile was panicking but it was calming itself down as it began thinking, "This isn’t an irrational demigod as I would have been dead already so from his previous expression. When we met he Only has a curious expression meaning"
"If I satisfy his curiosity then I can safely leave, besides he knows nothing of my existence yet" the demon thought before it spoke out loud.
"I have to think of the way I address him" the demon thought to itself, "I apologize for my behavior, it is my first time meeting a creature such as yours"
"Really, if then why run after showing signs of attacking me" Ikem said as he observed the deer up and down.
"That was a Mistake on my part, I thought you were just another strong animal stepping into my territory so I made a move to attack but your strength is clearly above mine so I ran" the demon said with a look of sincerity.
But Ikem for some reason found it hard to grab hold off, he felt the creature was lying and obviously recognised him. "I don’t believe you" Ikem said straight up catching the demon off guard.
Ikem smiled seeing the deer expression, one thing he remembered from his dad when dealing with someone you know is clearly lying is to tell them straight up the truth.
"One thing it does Son is, it throws their whole rhythm and now it is for you to sit back and watch as they try to make sense of their lie to you" Ikem smiled at the memory looking at the deer to know what else it would come up with.
The demon still trying to salvage the situation said "No, really! I-I didn’t recognise you. I am just an ear creature and sometimes I get scared easily. Please believe me"
Ikem, unmoved by the attempt at deception, raised an eyebrow. "Scared easily, huh? For a creature tht supposedly doesn’t recognise me, you seem to know a lot about my strength"
"Damn it" the demon thought as it struggled to come up with a plausible explanation. "You see it’s a weird talent of mine, I can recognise strong creatures which is why I could similarly gauge your strength"
