Chapter 262 - 262: Video Of Zale
"Anyway, when are you leaving?" Lucifer asked Jiang. "And where is the meeting?"
"The meeting is in the Realtec city. I'll be leaving in the afternoon. Also, I'll tell them that the project in the legion city is cancelled because I want that project shifted elsewhere," Jiang explained.
"Are you saying you didn't tell them to stop the project till now?" Lucifer asked, squinting his eyes.
"I already told the related staff but I should also tell this to others face to face so there are no misunderstandings later on," Jiang explained. "That project is already dead."
"That's good. You can leave. Take care of the ladies until afternoon. By then I'll be back. Then you can leave," Lucifer said, nodding.
"Alright. Now if you'll excuse me,a coffee made by a pretty lady is waiting for me inside," Jiang said, grinning as he walked back.
"This guy will never learn," Lucifer let out, shaking his head.
He placed his hands in his pockets as he resumed his walk.
"Here you are! Come on, don't you want to learn how to drive! Come with me!"
Just as Jiang had left, Cassius came to Lucifer. He had finished showering and now he was dressed in white pants and a beautiful white robe like he was a Prince of a Kingdom.
"I was waiting for you. Let's go," Lucifer replied. He started walking towards the three cars.
While Cassius stopped before the cars they had driven last time, Lucifer went to the third car.
"We'll take this one today," he said as he showed the keys which were in his hands.
"Alright. Sit in the Driver's seat. I'll guide you," Cassius told Lucifer as he walked towards the third car.
Lucifer opened the gates of the bright yellow sports car and sat on the driver's seat.
Cassius sat on the passenger seat.
Lucifer inserted the key in the car as he glanced at Cassius.
"Alright. Tell me what to do from here?" he asked, curious.
"First let me teach you what is what. That one you see on the right is the accelerator which you use to accelerate the car. On the left, there's a brake. And this is..."
Cassius started with explaining the car to Lucifer who already knew a few things about this but he still listened carefully.
"You understand?" he asked Lucifer after he finished explaining.
"Yeah," Lucifer replied, nodding.
"That's perfect. Now we come to the main part. The driving. Since these are sports cars, learning to drive them is slightly tough so be careful. Press the accelerator extremely slowly. And keep your eye on the road," Cassius further said as he started the teaching.
...
The yellow sports car left the Welling Estate in the early morning and only returned after four hours when it was afternoon.
Lucifer stopped the car in front of the mansion.
"That's it. Not bad for your first day at all," Cassius complimented Lucifer as the two of them stepped out of the car. "I think you'll be pretty good in a few days."
Lucifer stepped inside the mansion while carrying a box of chocolate in his hands that he had purchased on the way.
"You two are back. I thought I was going to be late waiting for you. Fortunately you're on time. I'll get going now."
As soon as Cassius and Lucifer entered the mansion, they noticed Jiang who looked extremely happy to see them.
Veracity was also standing beside him. There was also another woman standing nearby.
"Is that the maid?" Lucifer asked Jiang.
"Yeah. I taught her everything. She'll be careful," Jiang replied.
"We'll see that," Lucifer said, frowning.
He stepped closer to the woman, stopping a few feet away from her.
"Tell me something. If you find out that we had kidnapped someone and we're keeping that person hostage, will you tell anyone else to get us caught?" Lucifer asked the lady.
"As long as I get my income that I'm promised on time, I won't care whatever you do in this mansion," The lady answered confidently. "You don't have to worry about me."
Lucifer glanced at Veracity as he asked, " Is she telling the truth?"
"She is. And he already had her go through that test," Veracity answered, pointing towards Jiang.
"One more thing then," Lucifer said as he turned around. "Jiang, your turn. Will you ever betray me?"
"I can't. Offending others is better than offending you. In any case, now I'm your partner in crime. I'm just as deep in it as you. So either we'll both die or we'll both sail through the storms together," Jiang replied. "And you can get my words checked."
Even though Lucifer could see that Jiang was telling the truth, he still looked at Veracity for confirmation.
"He's telling the truth too," Veracity said.
"You can leave," Lucifer told Jiang as he started leaving.
"I'll have my food in my room in an hour. Also, bring another plate for the kidnapped guest," he said without turning back but it was obvious that he was talking to the maid.
"I'll be practicing outside," Cassius told Veracity as he also left but unlike Lucifer, he didn't go to his room. He went outside to practice his sword skills.
Lucifer unlocked the door using the key as he entered the room.
He could see that Ayn was still lying in the bed, unconscious.
"I hope she doesn't die of hunger. That would be unfortunate. If only she doesn't use her powers as soon as she wakes up," Lucifer muttered as he shook his head.
He walked back to the shelf to pick up his laptop while he kept the box of chocolate there.
Taking his laptop, he walked to a chair and sat while placing the laptop in his lap.
He opened the laptop to enter the password. After unlocking it, he started getting to work.
It had been days since he started trying to get any footage which showed his father or mother in a battle.
He wanted to see their fighting style to develop his skills to learn the extent of his powers.
Unfortunately, no such video was in the public domain. Thus, he was trying to use some illegal methods to get those videos since they were important.
As it was tougher than he expected, it was taking time. But everyday, he was getting ever so close to getting what he wanted.
For the next half an hour, he stayed on the laptop, pressing various keys. "There it is. I found one."
As he noticed a video, he grew excited. Finally he could see.
"It's a video of Father from the first Great War. It should be useful," Lucifer said as he started playing the video.
