Chapter 706 - 706: Battle Of Women

He walked to the luxurious car that was waiting for him before the airport. The driver opened the door for him. 

The man stepped inside the car, moving to the right. The woman entered after him, sitting on the left side. 

The car slowly started moving.

The woman was looking out the window when she saw two men appear out of thin air. Both men looked similar in looks and clothes. 

The only difference was that one had silver hair while the other had black hair. It was as if they were twins. However, the woman's eyes stuck at the silver haired man as she started trembling. 

"Stop the car!" She yelled at the driver. The driver stopped the car. 

"What happened?" The man asked his wife, frowning. 

"There is a man outside!"

"What man?"

"The man who tried to kill me! I told you, didn't I?!"

"You mean the Variant on the ship?"

"Yeah! It's him! You must get back at him for me! You must show him what he shouldn't have done!"

"Sigh, are you sure?"

"I am! It's the same person!"

"Alright. I might as well put your trauma to rest." The man opened the door and stepped out. 

He looked towards the airport but couldn't find any middle aged man there.

"Where is he?" he asked his wife. 

The woman also stepped out of the car and looked at the airport, but instead of two identical men, he found a dark haired man and a blonde woman with him. 

"There! The black haired man! His twin was just standing beside him! He was the one!"

"His twin?" The red haired man looked at his wife weirdly. "He is a teenager. Are you saying that a teenager's twin bullied you thirty-one years ago?" 

"That's right! I don't know how they did it, but none of them aged, it seems! It must be another of his powers!" The woman responded. 

The man just scratched his head in frustration. "I think you're mistaken. It must be a boy who looks similar to the guy. There is no way a guy would look the same even after thirty-one years. Even I've never heard about a power like that."

"I'm telling you! It's the same guy!"

"Fine. I'll talk to him just for the sake of it. Come." The man walked towards the airport with his wife. 

...

"Alright, new rule. You won't be changing to me. When you become me, your hair is silver, and eyes are like mine. What's the benefit of disguise if you're going to walk around like me? You understand?" Lucifer asked Eve. 

"Understood, captain. Anyways, where to next?" Eve asked, holding Lucifer's hand. 

"We aren't here on site seeing. You know why we're here. And you're the one who's supposed to be the one with more information about this place and the whereabouts of Xaen."

"So tell me where to go next? Where might we find Xaen or people who are close to him?" Lucifer asked as he walked towards the center of the city. 

"You mean his family? He doesn't have any, but there are certainly more people he'll be in touch with." Eve nodded. "The first one of them would be your Grandfather."

"Grandpa Chi? That's right. He was related to Xaen. But how is he related?" Lucifer asked. 

"It's because-"

Lucifer raised his hand, stopping Eve as he noticed a man stepping closer to him. The man looked to be in his late forties, but his aura was strong. 

Lucifer could feel the man's aura even from a distance. He also found the woman with him a bit familiar for some reason. 

"This guy..." Eve muttered, noticing the man. "Stay careful."

The man stopped before Lucifer. "Where is your brother?" he asked Lucifer. 

"Brother?" Lucifer seemed confused. "I don't have a brother."

"Stop lying! He's talking about the silver haired guy who was standing beside you! Did he disappear again? He could certainly do that even last time! That's how he fought!" The woman asked, yelling in anger. 

"I don't understand what you're trying to say. There were only the two of us here. There was no silver haired guy. Are you mistaken?" Lucifer asked, acting ignorant. 

He was sure that they hadn't seen Eve turn to her real self. If they had, they wouldn't be asking where the other guy is. So he could still act ignorant. 

"You! Look at you acting so innocent to save the other guy! Where was this innocence when he made my father and me hang on the ocean to threaten us? Now that he is scared, he ran away?" the woman asked. 

"Either you answer us, or I'll hang you on top of the ocean, doing the same as he did!"

' Hanging her and her father? Ah, I remember. Is she that Vixen? It seems like she did find a Variant Husband like she wanted.'

"What are you looking at?" the woman asked. Answer me!"

"I don't know what you're saying. It's my first time on this island. I came on vacation. Moreover, I have no brother, so it's impossible that you saw one," Lucifer replied. 

"Are you saying I am crazy? You!" the woman swung her hand towards Lucifer's face, intending to slap him. 

"What are you doing?" Eve stepped before Lucifer, stopping the woman's hand. "Why are you hitting my husband for no reason? He's telling the truth. Only the two of us came here. You're repeating a lie won't change the fact!"

She turned to the red haired man. "And you! I've seen your image before when I was reading about this island before deciding on a trip. Aren't you the head of one of the eight great Variant families of the Island?"

"Just because you're strong, you let your wife do anything she wants? Is that decency? Fighting is always wrong but what's more wrong is misusing your authority and strength. Do you really want to watch as your wife hits innocent people for her misunderstanding?"

The man didn't reply. He just stood calmly. 

"You! Did you just call me indecent? You and your husband think you can fool me? I'm telling the truth. He was just standing with him! Stop acting like it never happened!"

"Because it literally never happened," Eve replied. "You probably need a doctor or something."

"You!!!" 

The two women kept arguing while the two men stood behind them, watching everything silently. 

The red haired man observed Lucifer, who seemed awfully calm despite his wife just telling the identity of his out loud. It was as if Lucifer didn't even care. 

It was indeed true. Lucifer was slightly surprised after hearing that the man was one of the eight great family heads of the island, but it didn't matter.. He knew the man was a strong Variant as soon as he saw.
