Opening his eyes, Lucifer noticed that the woman was lying on top of him as her breasts pressed against him.
"This stupid girl," he muttered as he rolled his eyes. "She will never learn."
Lucifer wasn’t the only one who heard the scream as Jiang and Veracity also heard the scream since they were right beside the room. As Cassius’s room was farther away, he didn’t hear it.
Jiang instantly understood what had happened since he had heard that scream many tis before, but Veracity hadn’t.
"God, don’t tell he did it to her?" Veracity let out as she stood up. "Even though she’s a prisoner, I didn’t expect that he would force her for his lust."
She got off the bed to check, only to find Jiang standing outside her room.
"I knew soone would misunderstand this scream," Jiang said as he smiled wryly.
"Don’t worry; it’s not what you’re thinking. The scream wasn’t because Lucifer forced her. It was because she was electrocuted. She must have tried using her powers. I heard this scream many tis before. Go back and sleep."
Veracity squirted her eyes as she realized that he was telling the truth she had misunderstood. She nodded her head as she walked back to her room.
Jiang waited to see if Cassius was going to co out too because of this misunderstanding, but after he didn’t see anyone co out, he walked back to his room as he muttered, "Looks like he didn’t hear it."
Jiang also walked back and fell asleep, annoyed at having to wake up mid-sleep.
...
Lucifer glanced at the beautiful face of Ayn, which was so close to his that he could feel her warm breath on his face, which seed to be annoying him.
He placed his hand on her shoulders as he rolled her to the side, freeing him.
"I already handled the weight of yours in my journey. Can’t take more," Lucifer said as he again closed his eyes.
He once again fell asleep, without worries, as he knew Ayn wasn’t going to wake up before him now.
...
"This is the footage of the city." Gensi showed the footage of the city to Varant while also placing a sketch. "And this is the sketch of that bearded man."
"Did you run a facial scan to find this guy? Was he anywhere in the footage?" Varant asked as he observed the sketch of Jiang when he was in disguise.
"We didn’t find that guy in the footage. I think he avoided the caras for the most part. As for the neighborhood, the CCTV connection of that place was interrupted, so we didn’t get anything. But we did get a few witnesses that gave their statents," Gensi replied.
"What did they say?" Varant asked, frowning. "Anything significant?"
"They said they saw a group of people taking an unconscious lady in their arms. The group had two young n and another woman," Gensi answered.
"So it was the work of four people? Two young n, one bearded guy, and a woman? Where are the sketches of the other three?"
"We didn’t manage to get the sketches. None of the witnesses rember the faces of those people. All they rember was that one of them had long silver hair and the other person had black hair."
"Don’t tell that no cara in the entire city captured them?" Varant asked, frustrated.
"None. We’re still analyzing the footage from other caras, but at the mont, we have nothing significant," Gensi said, sighing.
"Since when did we beco so useless?" Varant asked, shaking his head in disappointnt.
"I don’t care how you do it. I want the faces of those three people. Tell the team to check every cara footage if they have to a thousand tis. I want Veracity back. Because it seems like they didn’t kill her."
....
"Lucifer Azarel is back, hahaha, not bad at all. The eight years of waiting is over now," Raia was sitting in his base, laughing out loud. "He’s back with a bang too. With an S Rank Swordsman."
"Should we really be happy though? He even killed our n. I doubt he has any goodwill for us. Do you think Caen told him the truth about us? About what we did?" Vega asked Raia, frowning.
"He can’t. I manipulated Caen’s mories too. He doesn’t rember that either. Don’t worry. I don’t think he could have told Lucifer about that," Raia replied, shaking his head.
"Then why do you think he attacked our n? We helped him after all?" Vega asked, frowning.
"You’re wrong. I think APF mbers killed our n. Lucifer killed the APF mbers before he left. That must be how it went," Raia said, shaking his head.
"It’s either that or he thought our n were from APF and accidentally killed them. I don’t think he’ll kill our n unless he knows the truth of what we did, and there’s no way for him to know it," he continued.
"I really hope so. Because if he can kill the Beta Squad leader without making a noise, then he might already be close to being a Warlock King. I don’t want him to be against us," Vega said, seemingly concerned.
"Don’t worry. Find where he is at the mont. Next ti, I’ll send Kellian and Yaliza personally. Those two trained him. He’ll recognize them and co back," Raia responded.
"I’ll try my best," Vega said before he stood up and left.
...
The cold night passed away as a new day arrived, bringing the much needed warmth with it.
Lucifer opened his eyes and got off the bed. In fact, he was the first one to wake up.
He walked to the shelf and picked up his laptop, and unlocked it.
He entered so keys into the laptop to open an app which seed to be showing him the live footage of other rooms.
He was able to see Veracity, who was still sleeping peacefully. As for Cassius, he was up, but he seed to be exercising in his rooms.
He closed the laptop and placed it back before he walked inside the shower room to take a shower.
As he entered the shower, he noticed the bottle of shampoo. A smile ford on his face as he rembered how scared he was of shampoo when he was young. "I really was an idiot."
He turned on the overhead shower, which made fine droplets of water fall over his body. He even picked up the bottle of shampoo and used it.
After a shower that lasted for ten minutes only, he stepped out. He went to the wardrobe and picked a set of clothes that he had purchased from the city previously.
He donned a grey t-shirt and a spotless white jacket on top, accompanied by black jeans.
He looked at the clock before he looked at Ayn. "She should be up soon too."
