Chapter 652: Evidence

"After that, I met Lucifer. And he told us to collect all the bodies. I searched all the floors but not thoroughly."

" I already knew where the bodies were, and I only brought those bodies upstairs to end the task fast and not waste time. I'm sure if you check the video footage, you might be able to see that."

"That's right. Why don't we just check the video footage of what happened instead of assuming things? Maybe the videos captured what happened to Lucifer?" Jiani suggested coming up with a nice idea.

"We would just need to check the footage of the twelfth floor and twenty-fifth floor. And we will know what truly happened." Arthur nodded.

"Let's hear the story of Yasmine first. Then we can verify with the footage if she told the truth. That would be faster," Milena chimed in. "Yasmine, continue."

"Ah, alright." Yasmine nodded. "After that, I placed the wet cloth on his forehead. But that's when his barrier came out..."

Yasmine continued telling the entire story. She talked about how she was almost hurt by Lucifer and how she tried again. She even talked about the vibration and the lightning phenomenon.

Then she explained how the rubble had almost hurt Lucifer, but Aira came in to protect him.

"You mean to say she helped him?" Cassius asked, looking frustrated. This seemed like a clear lie. Why would someone who saved him try to kill him the next moment?"

"I know it looks odd, but you should be able to see everything in the footage. I haven't told a single lie."

" What happened next?" Arthur asked.

"Then she asked me what happened to Lucifer. Why is he lying like that? And I told her what I told you," Yasmine said. "And then..."

She started hesitating slightly as she reached that point.

"Tell us!" Milena commanded.

"Then she seemed to have a change of mind. After realizing how weak he was and that he was alone, she started thinking that it was the best chance to kill him and have revenge."

"She said she might not get this opportunity again as Lucifer is often too strong to be killed by anyone, and he has his people around him. She said this was the perfect chance to be free. And she... She attacked him."

"I wanted to stop him, but then you all appeared, and you stopped her. That's what happened."

After finishing, she took a deep breath. "I promise it's the truth. You can check!"

"If you say it's the truth, I believe you." Milena nodded. "She turned to Salazar. You can check the footage to test."

"I'll need to go to the lower floor to check. But I can't leave Lucifer alone. They might try something like that again," Salazar said, frowning.

"There are more of us inside the headquarters, still searching for Lucifer. I think Kane can make an announcement everywhere. Let me tell him. They should be here soon."

The door once again opened, and another man stepped inside.

The dark-haired man was dressed in all black, carrying no weapon that was visible.

"What happened here?" he asked, confused.

"Yaliza, you came at the right time. It seems like someone hurt Lucifer. I need you to stay with Lucifer and keep him safe," Salazar explained.

Yaliza's figure flickered as he appeared beside Lucifer.

"He is hurt... How? Was that lightning storm because of that? First time I'm seeing him this weak. Who did it?" Yaliza asked.

"That's what we're trying to find. But for now, make sure no Noble gets close to him."

"Don't worry. None will get close to him. At least none with their heads intact," Yaliza stated.

In the meantime, Cassius had contacted Kane on the same number from which Kane contacted him before.

"Did you find Lucifer?" Kane asked, picking up the call. "And what about Andrim? Is he dead?"

"We killed Andrim. And we also found Lucifer, but something is wrong with him," Cassius explained. "It's like he has a fever. And he isn't moving. We believe he was hurt by an enemy."

"Can you help us make an announcement to all Uprising members to come to the top floor immediately?"

"He is hurt? Is that even possible?" Kane asked, confused. "It was the first time he was hearing about Lucifer being sick."

"Turn on the footage of the twenty-fifth floor," he commanded his men in the lab.

On a big screen, live footage appeared of the floor, revealing Cassius and the others in a tense atmosphere. Lucifer was lying on the sofa weakly.

"That's certainly odd," he muttered.

"You can access the footage there?" Cassius asked. "Ah, right. How could I forget that?!"

"Kane, can you send the footage on the screen here? We need to see the last one hour of footage here to see if they're telling the truth."

"Ah, I think we can. Just give us five minutes. In the meantime, I'll tell all members to get to you. Don't disconnect the call!"

"That would be perfect," Cassius said.

"What did he say?" Salazar asked Cassius.

"He says he will tell them to come to us. And he will also show the footage on the screens right here. We won't need to go to the control room downstairs," Cassius asked.

"That would be good."

Milena didn't even sit in this situation. She wanted to approach Lucifer to see if she could find what was wrong with him, but she knew that no one was going to let her get close. It'll only cause another misunderstanding and a war, all because of that stupid Aira!

She couldn't approach them until their innocence was proven through the video footage.

Still, she has faith in Yasmine. She wasn't worried about what the footage was going to show since she was innocent.

...

Eve and Alicia started searching the twenty-third floor when they heard an announcement through the speaker in the entire building.

"All Uprising members are ordered to get to the top floor! I repeat, All Uprising members are ordered to get to the top floor!"

"It looks like they found Lucifer. Thank God," Alicia sighed a breath of relief as she walked back to the lift.

"I don't know why, but that tone seemed a bit distressed," Eve said softly. "I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Still, she made haste to get to the lift.

Taking the lift, both of them reached the top floor, only to find a strange atmosphere.

They noticed that the roof was broken. Cassius had his sword out. Yaliza and Salazar were also around the sofa, guarding an unconscious Lucifer.

"What happened to him?" Eve ran to Lucifer, seeing him like that. She could feel that he was in pain.

Alicia also ran to him.
