Chapter 63: Four Organizations

"The contract is finished. From now on, I am your one and only master, Rachel."

"Stand up."

Lucifer said as he looked down on Rachel. Of course, when he said those words, Rachel quickly moved as she stood up.

However, something was different to Rachel now, and that was...

"Oh? You grew fangs?" Lucifer said as he looked at Rachel's soft lips.

No...he was looking at the fangs that suddenly just appeared.

As Lucifer has already seen Rachel closer than anyone could possibly have expected, Lucifer knew that Rachel never had any fangs or something like that.

However, since Rachel currently had fangs looming over her soft lips right now without her even trying to show it, it was only natural to think that it came from the contract that they did.

"An aftereffect? Well, who cares about it now," Lucifer said as he then raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.

And as soon as he did, the chair that was dirty became clean and the chair went to him automatically.

Lucifer then sat down on it as if it was only natural for him to do so. Well, it was only natural for him to sit down on it since he was the one to clean the chair and so.

"I should have done this in the first place, sigh," Lucifer murmured as he breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, that was because of the comfort that he was feeling now due to him sitting down.

Well, it didn't really matter as Lucifer just 'wanted' to feel the comfort.

For someone as powerful as Lucifer, standing up for days is nothing.

"Now that we've done the contract, I can rest assured that you would be loyal to me from now on, Rachel. Just prove to me that you won't be as useless as Asgo, and I would treat you fair," Lucifer said as he looked at Rachel.

However, Rachel...didn't respond to him at all. She was just looking at the empty air as her body trembled.

She looks to be unstable as fuck and that was not all as even her concentration was all over the place.

In fact, Rachel didn't even know how she was able to stand up when Lucifer ordered him to do so.

No, Rachel didn't even know if she was awake right now as she stared at the empty air.

And there was a proper reason why Rachel was being like this, and that was...

"A-a-a-are you...THE Lucifer?" Rachel murmured as her body started to shake and her eyes started to quiver.

Right, it was all because she was able to confirm that Lucifer was indeed THE Lucifer of the legends, the Archdemon of the past.

Although this seems insignificant or little, this was actually not for someone who was living in the present such as Rachel.

Lucifer was an influential name as there was an entire religion based on him, and to know that he was alive, and is standing before her...it was a shock of the century for Rachel, who was just another demon.

And it seems that Lucifer didn't like how Rachel was being like this as he snapped his fingers one more time as he used his mana to talk to Rachel's soul.

"Oy, wake up," Lucifer tone with a heavy tone, and as soon as he did, Rachel's eyes showed their focus once more and her body stopped shaking like hell.

This...was the power of the contract that demons have no choice but to follow.

Well, in this case, Rachel was willing enough to do the contract with Lucifer.

"Ah! H-how should I call you!" Rachel said as she bowed her head and just bowed her head.

She didn't move back or straightened her body or anything like that.

"Just call me Lucis, and to answer your question earlier...yes, I am indeed that Lucifer," Lucifer said as he looked at Rachel.

However, he was not done yet as he continued to speak, "Enough with the bowing, just tell me what's going on with the organizations and that Warmester you mentioned earlier," Lucifer said.

Of course, when he said it that way, Rachel had no other choice but to really look up with her body straightened up.

However, even with his strict tone of voice, Rachel couldn't help but just tremble at the thought of the man before him being Lucifer of the legends.

It was really...scary, but most importantly, she was struck - struck by the past where Rachel could clearly remembering threatening Lucifer with her words.

'W-w-why did I even did that...' Rachel thought as she felt regret and being stupid for even threatening Lucifer.

She now could understand how Lucifer was able to resist her charms, and she could also understand how Lucifer had killing intent that was so dense that Rachel literally pissed herself with not just piss but other substances as well.

It was then that the sound of snapping resounded out again and it managed to bring Rachel back to her feet as Rachel quickly looked at Lucifer, "Yes, Lucis!"

And it was in this way that Rachel told Lucifer thing about the Warmester Denoble House and its organizations that are controlling the darkness of the Zacharath Kingdom.

****

"That's it? Hmm..." Lucifer murmured as he brought his eyes down as he started to think about the things that he just heard from Rachel.

The Warmester Denoble House was one of the founding Denoble Houses of the Zacharath Kingdom, which is why it enjoys such grandeur and freedom even within the Capital City.

Of course, the freedom became the source of corruption as only a few other houses and the royal family can dare oppose its decisions.

Now, the Warmester Denoble House has four organizations under its belt.

These four organizations have their own respective 'duties,' and they do not interfere with each other.

One is in charge of getting money, one is in charge of recruiting people, one is in charge of gathering information and surveillance, and one is in charge of other things that the other three can't do.

Although these four organizations may seem big, they are definitely not since the Warmester always keeps them in check and cuts the organizations to make sure that the organizations would never be able to hold enough power to oppose them.

This is how the Warmester was able to keep a leash on their hellish dogs that they created and released out in the world.

And that was all that Rachel told Lucifer. It was...pretty lackluster and pretty boring as well.

At least, it was pretty boring from Lucifer's perspective that has already seen many great plots regarding things like these.

"It looks like this would be a lot easier than I expected..." Lucifer murmured as he looked up at Rachel.

Rachel was...she was just fidgeting around as she stood on the same spot.

Rachel has always been like this ever since she started to tell Lucifer about the Warmester Denoble House so it didn't really irk Lucifer now.

"So? Where are those four organizations located?" Lucifer said.

And as soon as he did, Rachel quickly gave her attention and spoke as she steadied herself.

"All four of them are located in the capital city of the Zacharath Kingdom!" Rachel said.

"All four of them? That seems suspicious...there's no way a fairly smart demon would put all of his cards in the same place," 

"And I doubt that the Warmester Denoble House would have no smart demons in their arsenal of men."

Indeed, there was no way that an intelligent man would put everything he has in a single place. If something like that happened, it is either the man is foolish or...

"They must be very confident in themselves," Lucifer said as a thin smile crept on his face.

He remembered how he punished all kinds of demons; confident and arrogant ones, too.

Whenever Lucifer punished a demon back then, it would always mean death.

And the most common type of demons that he punished are...the arrogant ones that anyone can see in any place.

That was why Lucifer was getting excited about this even though it was definitely boring for him.

Why? It was because Lucifer can't wait to wipe off the smug look from their faces and crush their confidence!

"Hahahaha!" Lucifer laughed as he remembered something, but he stopped right away as he began to speak.

"How ironic. It was always the weak ones who were arrogant and scummy bastards. I guess that is still the same case even in the Modern Hidden world," Lucifer said.

Lucifer then looked at Rachel as he spoke again, "Do you know where we would be able to meet these four organizations or whatever?"

"Just a general location is fine-" Lucifer said, but he was abruptly stopped by Rachel.

Right, Lucifer...was cut off from his speech, but Lucifer didn't do anything as he just listened to Rachel's words.

"Yes! Lucis, I know where they are located and I can tell you right now!" She said...something useful, which is why Lucifer didn't get mad about being cut off.
