Chapter 76: String

Lucifer followed Rouge into the main building where the carriages led them to without any problems at all.

There was no one who stopped them, and there was no one who tried to mess with Lucifer, even though he was basically a new guy in this place.

After all, even though Lucifer didn't know this, a new guy would basically be teased by everyone in this place.

No, it would be more correct to say that everyone would try to put the new guy in their place.

After all, they wouldn't want a new guy who is arrogant or something like that so it would definitely be for the best to put them into their place while they were still new.

That would also help the veterans in ordering the new guys since the new guys would be scared of the veterans or something like that.

Well, that was only common in this place since the veterans wouldn't want the new guys to suddenly rise in power and overthrow the veterans.

They would want to keep their superiority and authority so that they would still be in power and they would be able to keep the new guys as their lackeys.

In other words, this place...was a competition. No, it would be better to call it a life or death competition since the veterans would also try to keep the promising new ones out of their way.

They would even go as far as to kill the promising new ones, which in this case was Lucifer.

After all, no one would want to lose their power in a situation where they could basically do everything to another person.

However, there was a reason why Lucifer was not being attacked or being put to place by veterans.

It was obvious, but...it was because of Rouge, who was walking alongside him.

Rouge was pretty famous around these parts, and he was well respected by his men and colleagues.

What's more, Rouge was someone who got connections to the top of the Warmester Denoble House, Orangutan being one of his connections.

Although Orangutan didn't look like it, he was actually pretty high up in the rankings of the Warmester Denoble House.

And there were a lot of people that Rouge knew that was just as high as Orangutan and even higher than him.

That was why the veterans who saw Lucifer walking alongside Rouge didn't dare attack him or something like that.

It was quite amazing if you think about how Rouge was just a captain of a random squad, yet he can make the people here refrain their hands from doing something.

Well, that was just how life is, and Rouge took advantage of those connections fully.

That was also why Lucifer could walk safely right now, though...it didn't really matter since Lucifer would be able to destroy anyone who would dare attack him in this place.

And it was in this way that Lucifer and Rouge walked around the main building.

They walked up some floors, and the whole place was so big that even Lucifer would get lost as this place was just like a maze carefully thought up by someone.

However, it seems that they finally reached their destination as Lucifer could see a huge door at the end of the hallway that they were walking on.

'Hmm... is that it?' Lucifer thought as he looked at the huge door.

The huge door was...it was just a door, but it was really amazing to see something like this in the main building.

Why? It was because the main building was still somehow small, and Lucifer and Rouge went up five floors already.

It means that...the main building shouldn't have that much space, and Lucifer himself confirmed this with his senses, but it seems that there was some kind of spatial magic going on that the main building was able to have a big room like this in the sixth floor.

'Interesting, at least they have some interesting stuff...' Lucifer thought, but it seems that he didn't have the time to think about this anymore as Rouge spoke.

"The ones that you are going to meet from now on are all big shots within the Warmester Denoble House," Rouge said with a stern voice.

And as soon as Lucifer heard those words, a reaction came out of his mouth naturally, "Big shots?"

He said those two words...with an unusual smile on his face.

It seems that he would be getting the big fishes right off the bat, and this would mean that Lucifer would be able to confirm if the head of the Warmester Denoble House was here and if the heads of the organizations were here.

Although Lucifer already knew that the organizations were stationed in the capital city of the Zacharath Kingdom, Epitel, it still wouldn't hurt him to see if the heads were located in this place.

After all, once Lucifer confirms that they are here, all that Lucifer would have to do is to wipe the Warm City off the map and then make sure to take advantage of the organizational structure that the Warmester Denoble House and replace the head of the Warmester Denoble House.

Right...Lucifer was planning to make use of everything that the Warmester Denoble House has to offer and he would wring them dry, too, whether dead or alive.

Of course, if the heads of the four organizations were not here, then...Lucifer would just have to do some more work.

That was why Lucifer was somehow caught off guard when Rouge said that Lucifer would be meeting some kind of big shots in the Warmester Denoble House.

After all, it was as if a golden opportunity was falling to his lap so easily that it wasn't even funny, instead it was suspicious.

No...since Lucifer was confident about himself and his disguise, he didn't have anything to worry about.

But it was the truth that it was suspicious that things were flowing so easy and smooth.

Nevertheless, Lucifer still planned to take it if a golden opportunity was right in front of him.

In fact, he would grab it so that this golden opportunity wouldn't be able to get away from him!

And that was why Lucifer spoke again as he looked at Rouge's back.

"What do you mean by that? Big shots..." Lucifer said with a concerned tone in his voice.

After all, he was still playing the character that he made.

This was not the time for him to ruin it as he has still not confirmed the story of the heads.

And for a newcomer like him who just got here and with no background at all, it should only be normal that he would be concerned about it or worried about it.

After all, who would have expected to meet their boss on the very first day of a job?

No...in this situation, it's as if one is meeting the chairman of a company on the very first day of attending the job.

That was why Lucifer should be feeling the pressure and he should be getting nervous about it as well. Of course, the character that he was playing as Lucifer knew that Rouge was expecting him to react like this.

After all, Rouge never said that Lucifer would meet the big shots of the Warmester Denoble House.

He just said that he would meet important people, and that was it.

Now that he finally said the identities of these important people, the newcomer, Lucifer, should be worried about it, and that was exactly what Lucifer tried to play.

And when Rouge heard what Lucifer said, he just continued to speak without looking at him.

"Well, don't worry about it. They are definitely big shots, but they are kind as long as you are respectful to them."

"Being connected to them would also secure your safety while you're living here since that would mean that you are recognized by the top." 

Rouge said all those words without missing a single beat, and Lucifer heard him very well.

And as soon as he stopped speaking, Lucifer spoke, "By big shots, do you mean...the inner table of the Warmester Denoble House?"

Right...Lucifer finally asked Rouge this question; the question that he wanted to ask so bad since this would basically mean that Rouge would be snitching on them and give information about them.

"Kekeke, you know a lot of stuff. To think that you would know about those things. Well, anyway, that's right."

"They are people sitting at the inner table of the Warmester Denoble House, and one of them is sitting at the very top of the inner table."

"These people are one of the factions in the Warmester Denoble House, the String!"

Rouge said with an excited voice. Well, Rouge couldn't help but be excited as the people that Lucifer would meet are definitely the big shots of the Warmester Denoble House.

What's more, they...are actually one of the organizations of the Warmester Denoble House, String.

"Kekeke, we're here," Rouge said as he stopped walking.
