Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic



"What could Nexus possibly want? Does he have any inkling of my involvement in that incident?" Mike wondered, his mental gears turning with a rapidity. The night of the attempted assassination at the hotel lingered in his memory. He had been present, orchestrating a calculated plan to unsettle Nexus, the satisfaction of a plan well-executed. However, the sudden intrusion of the assassin had forced Mike into an unexpected retreat, shrouded in the shadows to avoid detection.

"Did Nexus catch a glimpse of my involvement that night? Or is this about something else entirely?" Mike pondered, the analytical edge of his thoughts slicing through the uncertainty. The notion that Angel might have inadvertently revealed details gnawed at the corners of his consciousness, but he swiftly dismissed it, as he rationalized that Angel had been asleep throughout the entire ordeal, but a lingering uncertainty lingered in the recesses of his thoughts.

With a decisive shake of his head, a quiet resolve settled over Mike as he finished his mental deliberations. 

Nexus's visit was an enigma he needed to unravel in person. Whatever Nexus's intent, Mike, with a calm exterior concealing the machinations of his mind, would confront the situation head-on. Whether it was to confront him with new evidence or for some other reason, Mike prepared to meet the challenge head-on. The laboratory door creaked open as he stepped into the corridor, ready to meet the enigmatic Nexus.

When Mike laid eyes on Nexus, his heart momentarily skipped a beat. However, years of discipline and control allowed him to swiftly regain his composure. He approached Nexus with a calm demeanor, and they exchanged pleasantries, a veneer of friendliness masking the complexity that simmered beneath the surface.

"Good to see you, Nexus," Mike greeted, a measured smile playing on his lips. Nexus reciprocated with a nod, acknowledging the civility that adorned their interaction. 

After the courteous exchange, Mike, with practiced hospitality, invited Nexus to take a seat. They settled onto the cushions, and Mike, displaying a degree of urgency, wasted no time in getting to the heart of the matter. "Why are you here, Nexus?" he inquired, his eyes locking onto Nexus's with an intensity that belied his calm exterior. "I appreciate your visit, but let's not beat around the bush."

Nexus, not one to indulge in unnecessary pleasantries, acknowledged Mike's direct approach. "I have some questions," he began, his tone carrying a weight of genuine confusion. "I'm not sure what's really going on. The police are still investigating the attack on Tiffany, and Nora's in a coma due to the assassin."

Mike was relief upon hearing this, his action was swift but well-concealed. A veil of concern replaced any hint of satisfaction as he absorbed the gravity of the situation. He nodded in understanding, maintaining an appearance of composure. "I see ...It's a troubling situation indeed."

Mike nodded in agreement, a tacit acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation. "Justice will prevail, Nexus. Sometimes, it's a matter of letting the authorities do their job."

Nexus, however, seemed reluctant to entirely relinquish control. "I just can't shake the feeling that there's more to this than meets the eye," he confessed, his eyes searching Mike's for any sign of revelation.

Mike met Nexus's gaze with a level stare. "I get it. But jumping into the unknown without solid leads can be risky. You might end up causing more harm than good," Mike cautioned, his voice measured and calm.

Nexus, torn between the desire for answers and the caution advised by Mike, let out a frustrated breath. "I guess you're right. It's just hard to stand by when someone I care about is in danger." 

Mike leaned forward, his expression sympathetic. "I understand your concern, Nexus. But sometimes, patience is the key. Let the investigators follow the trail, and when the time is right, you will act."

Nexus, albeit reluctantly, nodded in agreement. "You're probably right, Mike. I just hope they find the answers soon." 

"I appreciate your insights, Mike," Nexus said, his disappointment tempered by a genuine sense of gratitude. "I think I'll take your advice and let the police handle it for now."

Mike inclined his head in acknowledgment. "I'm here if you ever need assistance, Nexus."

Nexus, appreciating the sentiment, decided it was time to leave. "Thank you, Mike. I'll keep that in mind," Nexus replied, preparing to take his leave.

Mike smiled, "I've enjoyed our conversation. Let's meet like this again sometime." 

Nexus mirrored the smile. "I'd like that. Thanks again, Mike," Nexus expressed his gratitude before turning to depart.

As Nexus moved toward the exit, his gaze inadvertently fell upon a painting in Mike's office.
