Chapter 169 - 169: Return Of Zale Azarel?

"That's why no Hunter Union member is going in. There's no way something could happen to him there. Moreover, before going in, he said that it might take him a long time to find what he's looking for," he continued before he opened the laptop which was placed before him.
"What about humans?" Riali further asked.
" The government is giving us full support, but there are only limited things they can do at the moment," Varant replied.
"Will we ever find Lucifer like this? He can always stay in hiding until he gets strong. By that time, it would be too late. We can't wait hand in hand," Riali commented as he sighed.
This wait was killing them. They wanted Lucifer at any cost, but let alone Lucifer, even the low-ranking member of Variant Uprising, wasn't seen.
"I understand; that's why I came up with a plan," Varant said as he tapped a few keys on his laptop before he turned the screen towards Riali and Rowen.
As soon as the two saw what was on the screen, their mouths opened wide. This... What does it mean?
"How could it be! That place! It's our headquarters where we are! But that person... How could it be?" Riali stood up, shocked as soon as he saw what was on the screen. "Zale Azarel? He's alive?"
Even the always calm-looking Rowen was clearly shocked at this revelation. How could it be? How could Zale be alive and be present at their base!
"This is impossible! Don't tell me the only person that stepped out of that Dungeon was Zale! This is impossible!"
"If he was alive, why was he hiding for five years? His son! He went through so much and caused so many deaths, but he never appeared! Just what kind of man is he?" Riali let out firmly.
Varant turned back the screen of the laptop towards him.
"You wanted to know how we are going to bring out Lucifer? It would be done by him," Varant said. "It won't be long before Lucifer comes running to us."
"Zale will help us against his son?" Rowen asked. His lips couldn't be seen because of the cover, but a frown was evident on his face.
Varant looked at Rowen as a subtle smile appeared on his face.
He had made an elaborate scheme which he was going to use to drag Lucifer out and to kill him.
"This will be the endgame," Varant said as he closed the laptop.
Variant Uprising had made an inescapable trap for APF to destroy their reputation and ruin their support. In contrast, APF was with a scheme of their own to trap Lucifer and to finish the potential future that he could bring.
…
Unaware of the new schemes of both sides, Lucifer was trying to come up with one of his own to find the truth about the death of his parents, but no matter how much he thought, his mind wasn't clicking.
He already knew that he was terrible at scheming. Whenever he thought of something, the only plan that came to his head was to barge inside the APF office and beat up Varant to know the truth.
Or to use force to get answers here, but he needed a way where he could be sure that the answers that were given were the truth.
"Think... Think... Think..."
As Lucifer finished breakfast, he started walking back and forth to think what to do when finally his mind clicked as he remembered an old conversation.
It happened when he was just six or seven years old. He was inside the facility, where he heard two staff members joking amongst themselves.
"I'm not lying! Really! That woman actually said I was handsome!"
"Hah, keep bragging. That beautiful lady calling you handsome? Not unless she was blind."
" But I must say, you're getting better at lying!"
"Bro, believe me! Why would I lie to you! She actually said it! How can I prove it to you? I can't tell her to repeat it again. Also, I can't bring Lady Veracity here to tell you that I'm telling you the truth. She can verify my claims with the help of her powers, though"
"Bringing Lady Veracity here? Hahaha, in your dream. Not even high profile people here can meet her. But I must say, her abilities are really scary even though they're not dangerous. She can use her powers to find out if the person is telling the truth or not. I pity whoever will marry her. That guy would have to be a Saint."
As Lucifer remembered this conversation, he finally came up with an idea. But first, he needed to find Veracity. After he got her to help him, he could make sure if the people before her were being honest or not.
"This Veracity, where can I find her? After I leave today, I need to come back too. That's right; On the route back, I'll ask Caen to take me to her. If he doesn't, I'll force him," Lucifer said, clenching his fist.
Finally, he had something solid and some kind of plan which he could use. The key was finding Veracity and bringing her back here.
With a plan in his mind, Lucifer finally left his room to leave this place. It was time to see what his dream was all about.
What was the place which his parents kept talking about in his dreams for the last thirty nights! And after coming back, he could also bring back Veracity.
As soon as Lucifer left the room, he saw Draco coming out of the lift in the distance.
"Ah, you're out. I was just coming back to bring you. Sir Caen is ready and waiting for you upstairs." Draco told Lucifer, who had just left his room.
He took Lucifer with him upstairs, where Caen was already waiting for him in front of a helicopter.
"You're here," Caen said as he walked towards Lucifer, still in the form of that lady.
Kellian and Yaliza were also standing there, but Raia was nowhere to be seen. So far, Lucifer hadn't seen Raia even once. As for the reasons, he didn't know. He couldn't just say that Raia needed to come himself.
Until he met with Veracity, it was good to be away from Raia.
"Alright, Lucifer, as promised. We have arranged for everything. Caen will take you there. You'll spend the day there, and you'll come back without any delay after the day is over. You understand, right?" Kellian asked Lucifer.
"I understand. I'll come back as soon as I can," Lucifer replied, not lying actually. For him, as soon as he could mean after finding and meeting Veracity, which was different from the others.
