Chapter 335: Bringing Varant back to life

" At least for some of them, that's the case. But I believe most of them weren't loyal to the APF to that extent. It can be easy to turn them," Lucifer answered as he sat back on the bed after wearing his gloves again. 

"How can we be sure that they're telling the truth though?" Kellian asked. "I think we shouldn't involve them in the next mission."

"Don't worry; I have a way to make sure they're not lying," Lucifer replied as he laid on the bed.

"I want you to send our helicopter to a certain location. A woman will be waiting there for us. Tell our men to pick her up and bring her here safely. She will help us in this," he said, looking towards the ceiling. 

"Who is that woman?" Kellian inquired.

"Veracity..." Lucifer replied. "I convinced her to help me in a situation like this. Bring her here, and we can be sure. As for the place, she'll be at ..."

Kellian understood everything. He called one of his men and told them to pick Veracity up along the way. 

He hadn't called the men who were in APF. Instead, he had called the men that were already on their way from Uprising Headquarters. 

"She should be here by tomorrow," he told Lucifer after disconnecting the call. 

"That's pretty fast. Are our men already there?" Lucifer inquired, curious.

"Yeah. Some of our men are coming from our Uprising Base. They should already be near that city," Kellian answered. 

"That's good," Lucifer nodded. "I had another question though. What were you doing in my room to spot that guy?"

"Vega told me about this guy approaching your room secretly. He's keeping an eye on your security. The moment we accepted you to lead us, your security became our responsibility. It's not odd," Kellian explained. 

"From now on, every night, there will be one person outside your room to make sure that no one can attack you when you're sleeping," he further said. 

" Security for me, huh. Even though I don't need it, I'll accept," Lucifer answered, accepting the security detail. 

He was a high-profile target now, so it was certainly good that Uprising was providing him with security. That could save him a lot of unnecessary battles and ruined sleep.

" Kellian, are there more of these gloves in Uprising Base?" he asked, glancing at his old gloves.

"I think we do," Kellian nodded. "We found some for the moment you'll return."

" Ah, that's right. That predictor guy told you that I'd return. Tell him to come here as well. I want to meet him."

"Also, tell someone to bring the gloves here. It's becoming uncomfortable to wear these ones," Lucifer commanded, looking at his worn-out gloves. 

"I'll make sure," Kellian nodded as he started leaving. "You can go back to sleep."

"I doubt I can now," Lucifer replied, smiling. He could see it was four in the morning by now. He had plenty of sleep already.

"Wait, why is Vega up at this time? Did you two not sleep?" he suddenly asked, realizing something. 

Vega and Kellian were up when he went to sleep, and they were up even now. It didn't seem like they slept. 

"We were setting things up, so it took time. Vega will soon go to sleep after giving the security tasks to Drak. I'll take a short nap soon too. Since it's the first day, there were lots of things to do," Kellian explained. 

" Are all APF members that didn't surrender dead?" Lucifer inquired again. 

"Yeah. I don't think anyone is alive anymore. We also checked all the floors repeatedly to make sure no one was hiding. It's confirmed," Kellian replied. "There's one more thing though."

"What?"

"It seems like the news about the destruction of Kensington is everywhere now. All the news channels are covering it. Fortunately, no one knows that APF headquarters has fallen as well," Kellian told Lucifer. 

"Did the government contact us here?" Lucifer inquired, frowning. 

"Yeah. They asked us what was happening. We sent a fake report that there was a clash between Uprising and our members, in which the city was destroyed. It seems to have worked. They don't know that most of the APF, including Varant, is wiped out," Kellian replied 

"So they think it was a normal clash between APF and Uprising but on a bigger scale than last few times." Lucifer nodded. 

"Yeah. Everything is according to our plan so far," Kellian affirmed. 

"Good so far. Release a statement from the APF side. Use Caen when he is up. Have him transform in Varant and record a message that the APF will protect the citizens and destroy the ones who destroyed Kensington," Lucifer said. 

"Let's bring Varant back to life for the public and the government that doesn't know about his demise. His presence will work to make the Government complacent," he continued. 

"Then release that message to the news channels. Let's make this conflict as realistic as we can."

"I was thinking about the same thing. They don't know that APF is gone. It'll work in our favor," Kellian agreed. "Moreover, we have Caen now. That makes things even easier."

"Yeah. With Caen, we might not even need to use the Dungeons. He would get us an entry inside the Capital," Lucifer let out as he got up again. "You can leave."

Kellian nodded as he departed, turning into a shadow. He didn't even need to open the door. 

"Ah, forgot to tell him to arrange clothes for me." 

As Kellian left, Lucifer realized that he didn't have spare clothes either. As for the clothes we was wearing, they were already covered in blood because of Uzuki's attack.

He walked to the wardrobe, which was inside the room, to see if there were any clothes that could fit him.

"These seem to be my size."

He took the clothes from the Wardrobe and placed them on the bed before taking his old clothes off and tossing them to the side. 

He walked inside the shower room to take a shower. 

After finishing his shower, he dried his body and got dressed in the new clothes, which didn't look anything special. 

The new clothes were very ordinary, unlike the clothes he wore previously. 

As he wasn't particularly stuck on clothes, he didn't care. Instead, he left the room and walked to the lift. 

The fingerprint system was removed so anyone could use the lift now, especially him. He simply pressed a button, calling the lift to him. 

As the doors opened, he stepped inside and pressed the button for the terrace. 

The lift went up, stopping on the terrace. 

Lucifer stepped out of the lift to find a lot of helicopters standing there. A few of his men were also there, keeping watch. 

Blood could also be seen in place as if a battle took place here. Lucifer understood whose blood it was though.
