Chapter 630: First
Eve didn't play along, though.
"You don't have to lie. I can see in your eyes that you're sleepy," Lucifer said, touching the lips of Eve gently.
"Like this, you won't be able to give your all in the bedroom. Go and take a nap. After you're fully rested, we can begin."
"Come, I'll show you the bedroom." He held the hand of Eve and helped her up before taking her towards the bedroom.
It was only now that Eve understood what Lucifer was trying to do.
She went with him to the bedroom and even thanked him before lying on the bed.
Lucifer covered her body with a blanket and turned on the AC.
He turned to leave.
"Wait!" Eve called out suddenly.
"Yeah?" Lucifer turned around.
"Aren't you going to give me a kiss before leaving? So I could have some good dreams?" Eve asked innocently.
Lucifer's face twitched a little in annoyance, but he quickly covered his expressions.
He smiled in return as he walked closer to Eve.
"How could I forget?" He could see that Eve was having fun messing with him. It was his turn to mess with her now.
Seeing him step closer, Eve thought he was going to give a kiss on her cheeks. She turned her face to the side to reveal her right cheek.
Lucifer brought her face closer to hers, but he didn't kiss on her cheeks. He placed his finger under her chin and turned her face, so it was facing her.
After turning her face, he placed his lips on the lips of Eve.
Eve's eyes opened wide in shock. Even she didn't expect Lucifer to do it. This guy! Was he messing with her now?
Lucifer kept his lips on the sweet lips of Eve for so long that after he took his lips off, Eve was breathless. Her face had turned as red as a tomato.
She couldn't believe that her first kiss was taken by Lucifer, all because she wanted to mess with him. But there was a part of her that kind of liked the kiss as well.
"See you in the morning," Lucifer said softly before turning to leave.
It was also his first kiss, and he could see why people liked it. It wasn't half bad.
He glanced at Eve one last time before leaving.
Eve buried her face under the blanket as her thoughts were jumbled.
...
Lucifer left the room and sat on the couch in front of Milena and Arthur. None of them spoke anything important regarding their plans.
All they talked about was the city and how this building was good.
Within half an hour, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Lucifer walked to the door and opened it.
As he opened the door, he found the Warlock Council members before him.
He had met around twelve of them in the meeting, and all twelve were here. Something seemed odd.
"What brought you all here?" Lucifer asked, standing at the entrance, blocking it.
"We believe your life is in danger," Joan said directly.
"My life? And how?" Lucifer asked, amused. Life in danger? And his? Were they joking?
"The lady who came with you. We believe that she is an enemy spy who was tasked to approach you to get close to you and to kill you after winning your trust. Apparently, the information about you joining us had leaked, and the enemies have gotten active," Joan explained.
"We need to interrogate her to find out who sent her," he added.
"I think you guys are overthinking it. If she were a spy, I would've sensed it. Moreover, who can even kill me? Certainly not that weak lady. Don't overthink and go back. She's only a guest for one day. After I sleep with her, I'll kick her out," Lucifer responded.
"So please don't spoil my mood." He started closing the door, but the door stopped suddenly.
It couldn't even move an inch.
He lowered his eyes and noticed that there was a Warlock who was holding the door in its place.
He couldn't believe that someone was trying to challenge him.
He simply smiled. "You know, it's looking less like your concern and more like your aggression at the moment. Remember something carefully. When I come to aggression, you won't like it."
Even though it wasn't a part of the plan, he couldn't let them interrogate Eve. She didn't even live here. She couldn't answer anything at all if they asked. And she was going to be exposed to them.
He didn't want to waste any time if the ultimate outcome was them being exposed. At least now he could use the excuse of them coming to him first for aggression.
"Is something the problem?" Arthur and Milena also came back to Lucifer.
"Yeah. My friends here think that I can't keep myself safe," Lucifer lazily responded.
"I think they should ask their two friends they sent to kill you about how good we can defend ourselves," Arthur mockingly chimed in.
Even Kellian was prepared for any conflict at the moment.
In fact, not many people knew, but Kellian had already gotten into action a long time ago.
He had left some shadows of his behind to find the control room without being caught after he had come back with Lucifer.
By now, his shadows were already in the control room, hiding in the Darkness, waiting for further commands.
Seeing Arthur mention the head of Zhu and Hanzi, quite a lot of the men here were uncomfortable. They believed they were being mocked.
"Young man, I think you should keep your tongue in control. You don't know who you might offend with that sharp tongue of yours. Someone might actually pull out that tongue of yours." A man behind Joan warned Arthur.
"The man who can't even dare to show his face talking about such things? It doesn't suit them," Another man said.
"Leaving everything aside, please move. We have good reason to believe that she's a spy. And if she isn't, why do you even try to stop us? If she's innocent, we'll apologize to her before leaving. I don't think you should have any problem with it." Joan kept his focus on the main topic.
"It's because I know it's a waste of time. I'm just here for one day, and I want to have some fun. And I know she is innocent. If you interrogate her for no reason, she'll think I was suspicious of her."
"And even if you say sorry, will it return her to her old mood? It'll be a waste. Interrogate her tomorrow after I'm done with her."
