Chapter 697: Elenna\'s Curiosity I
The day was wrapping up, the sky outside painted in deep shades of orange and pink. The sun sank behind the city skyline. Elenna glanced at the clock on her office wall.
7:31 PM.
She knew she was late, but her mind was too preoccupied to care. She\'d just watched a video from one of her subordinates, something that had reignited her curiosity and, honestly, a little obsession.
The office was quiet, nearly deserted. Everyone else had already headed home. But Elenna had other plans. She needed to grab a few things from her desk—particularly some files stashed away in her drawer.
Her heels echoed in the silence as she made her way down the empty hallway. The usual background noise of office chatter and the hum of computers was replaced by an eerie stillness, broken only by the faint whir of the air conditioning.
Elenna hurried down the hall, her assistant scrambling to keep up with her. He wasn\'t exactly thrilled about whatever new idea she was chasing this time.
"Boss, I thought you were done investigating demons and demon hunters?" he huffed, struggling to match her pace.
Elenna didn\'t slow down. "I did say that," she replied, eyes focused ahead."Then why are you going after this file again?" he pressed, clearly annoyed. "And does this have anything to do with that robbery video?"
She gave him a sharp look but kept moving. "I told you, it\'s not a regular robbery. I\'m sure it\'s connected to the great demon!" Her tone was so confident, it was almost a challenge.
Her assistant groaned, practically whining now. "But you were over it!"
"That\'s what I told the police—and my therapist," she murmured, throwing in a casual shrug.
He let out a dramatic sigh, shoulders slumping as he followed her. "Oh no… I didn\'t sign up for this…"
She shot him a warning glance, her eyes blazing with determination. "And don\'t even think about telling anyone," she warned.
Resigned, he sighed again, knowing he couldn\'t change her mind. Elenna was relentless once she set her sights on something. He\'d seen her obsession with demons and demon hunters before, and he knew there was no stopping her now.
They reached her office, and she quickly fumbled through her keys, unlocking the door with a satisfying click.
Elenna\'s heart pounded as she went straight to her desk drawer, her fingers trembling with anticipation. She rummaged through the contents until she found what she was looking for—a thick, old binder labeled "Demon Research." She ran her fingers over the embossed letters, a nostalgic smile crossing her face. She hadn\'t touched this in a while, but it seemed fate had other plans.
She opened the binder and quickly flipped through the pages, stopping at a section filled with photos. Her fingers skimmed over the glossy images until she found the clearest shots of the great demon ever captured by CCTV cameras.
Just then, her phone buzzed. She pulled it out and hit play on a video, her eyes glued to the screen as she studied the footage. A spark of excitement lit up her face, and she paused the video, comparing it with the photos in front of her.
"It\'s him," she whispered, barely able to contain her excitement. She looked at her assistant, thrusting her phone toward him. "Look, it\'s him!"
He let out a heavy sigh, clearly exhausted by her antics. "Boss, even if it is him, there\'s nothing we can do. You\'re banned from anything related to demons. Remember?"
Elenna\'s face hardened. She hated those restrictions. People had told her over and over to stay away from demons, but her curiosity always got the best of her.
"They may have banned me, but as long as I can pretend to be someone else, I can keep investigating," she said with a smirk, her eyes gleaming with determination.
"You\'re kidding, right?" he groaned. "Are you going to chase after that student again?"
Elenna raised an eyebrow, amused. "You mean Ethan? I\'m over him. I thought he was a demon hunter, but he\'s not the one I\'m after now." She pointed at the photo in front of her. "I want to find the great demon. I want to see him again."
Her assistant\'s jaw dropped. "Are you out of your mind?" he exclaimed. "He\'s a demon! You\'ll get yourself killed!"
