Chapter 239 - 239: Stupid Mistake
"What's the hurry? Please come with me. I need to talk to you about something," Lucifer said to the man as he placed his hand on the man's shoulder before leaving the shop.
Jiang also paid the bill as he left the shop.
...
Lucifer and the others stepped inside the mansion.
Entering the mansion, Jiang closed the door, locking it firmly.
"That was easy," he said. "Where do you think his room would be?
"Probably upstairs. You stand here. Call me if something goes wrong, or you notice someone," Lucifer told Jiang as he flew upstairs.
"Of course he can fly as well," Jiang let out, rolling his eyes.
Lucifer landed on the upper floor, where he started looking for the owner of the house.
It didn't take him long before he ended up in the bedroom of the man.
Looking around, he heard the sound coming from the shower room. Without delaying for even a second, he advanced towards the door.
Raising his foot, he stomped on the door, breaking it.
As soon as the door was broken, Lucifer stepped inside the bathroom only to find a stunned chubby man who was standing without clothes.
"Who are you?" The man asked furiously.
"Joe Welling?" Lucifer asked the man, seemingly curious.
"How dare you step inside my mansion and break into my room!" The man roared again as he clenched his fist.
He punched on a red button that was placed in the house.
As soon as the button was pressed, an alarm started ringing in the entire house.
"Well, I must say. Placing an alarm even in your bathroom? You're a really big coward, aren't you? Well then. It doesn't matter. I wanted to do things the nice way, but if the world doesn't want me to, then it's fine," Lucifer muttered as he sighed.
"You should worry about yourself, little man! Soon, all the guards of my mansion will be here! You'll regret barging in my bathroom!' the man yelled at Lucifer.
"I don't like loud voices," Lucifer muttered softly as he caught the finger of the man that was pointing at him.
Crack!
"Aaah!"
Without thinking twice, Lucifer broke the finger of the man.
Joe was still crying in pain when Lucifer grabbed him by the throat and tossed him outside the bathroom.
The man dropped to the ground, getting even more hurt
Lucifer also took off the glasses, the cap, and the wig since he didn't care at this point. He had decided this whole mansion was going to be wiped now. So disguising didn't matter anymore.
"I think the nice way isn't made for me. I shouldn't have even tried. The hard way is the only way for me," Lucifer said, frowning.
This was a test for him to see if his old way was better or the civil way was better. And now he had his answer.
"Lucifer! I can't hold them back anymore!"
As Lucifer walked towards Joe, he heard a shout coming from nearby. Jiang had barged inside the room.
"Hahaha, now you'll see the results of messing with me! You broke my finger? I'll break all your bones!" Joe said furiously as he started laughing.
" I think that's going to stay a dream for you. At least in this lifetime," Lucifer let out as he walked towards the door.
"Wait! There are people outside with guns! Be careful!" Jiang warned Lucifer, who was leaving.
Lucifer ignored him as he left, closing the door behind him.
The sound of firing started coming as if it was raining bullets outside.
"Hah! Your partner is toast now! Soon, you'll follow him!" Joe told Jiang as he laughed even louder. "I can still let you live if you surrender!'
Jiang looked at the man as if he was looking at an idiot. The guy who bullied the entire APF... He was going to be toast against some humans? He felt like laughing.
...
Lucifer stepped out of the room as lightning flickered around his arms.
"He's a Variant! Kill him!"
The lightning around Lucifer's hands made it evident that he was a Variant as the guards raised their guns.
Unfortunately, before they could even fire, Lucifer gently waved his hand.
He only made a light wave. No lightning advanced towards the guards or anything. But somehow, that gentle wave caused the heads of the guards to roll on the ground.
"First time using the Wind Blades in a battle. Not bad at all," Lucifer muttered as he walked towards the guards whose bodies were lying on the ground.
These people were only the guards who were inside the mansion, though. The guards that were outside were still trying to barge inside as the main gates were locked.
Lucifer walked towards the bodies and picked up a machine gun.
"Not a bad toy," he muttered as he flew downstairs.
Standing before the door, he started waiting for the door to open while aiming the gun in the direction of the door.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
It was only after hitting the door many times did the guards manage to break the door open, but as soon as the door was opened, they were greeted by the sweet sound of the machine gun that was creating holes all around their bodies.
It didn't take long before the rest of the guards were also dead.
Lucifer tossed the gun to the side as he removed the blue full body jacket to reveal his real clothes that were still spotless.
"That wasn't hard. The toys of the humans are really not bad," he muttered as he started walking upstairs again.
He didn't even bother cleaning the bodies this time.
The mansion of Joe Welling was huge, and it was surrounded by a big garden from all sides. It wasn't as if a passer-by on the road was going to see what was happening here.
...
"The sound of the guns stopped. Your friend must be dead by now," Joe again said to Jiang as he stood up. His face was still pale as he felt the pain from his broken finger.
The door of the room started opening. While Joe was grinning and confident that these were his guards, Jiang was still a bit suspicious. Even though he had confidence in Lucifer, he was still worried.
As the door opened, the expressions on the two faces switched. While Jiang was happy now, Joe was horrified.
"H-how can it be you! How are you not dead?" Joe asked, stepping back. "Not even a single wound on you?"
"What can I say: bad guys live long while good guys die fast. And who can be worse than me," Lucifer replied, smirking like a devil. "So, where were we?"
