Chapter 100: Only Time

"W-what are you saying! What the hell do you want! Who the fuck are you!" The sixth son said as he tried to back away from Lucifer by crawling on the ground.

The sixth son naturally didn't know anything about Lucifer, and that was a given already.

However, it was only because things were looking so bad right now for the sixth son that the sixth son actually asked for Lucifer's identity.

But...it was the sixth son himself who didn't give a chance for Lucifer to speak as he spoke again, hoping to taunt Lucifer and stop him from making any more dangerous moves.

"Do you know who I am!? I am noble amongst nobles, the grandchild of the current Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House!"

"A man like you who has no background at all does not have the right to stand before me like this! Even more so to threaten me like this! I can have all three generations of your family get wiped out if you continue to do this!"

"However, if you promise to stop this stupid act right now, then I will not order or ask the Patriarch to do anything like that. Instead, I will even reward you with gold!"

"So stop this foolishness this instant!" The sixth son said all those words while still trying to back away from Lucifer.

The sixth son was indeed a clever demon, trying to bribe Lucifer to stop the current farce while also being wary of him.

It was evident that he was thinking of ways to solve this current situation as he knew that he didn't have any strength to save himself from this situation.

As his men were already killed by the man in front of him, the sixth son concluded that this was the only way for him to survive in this situation.

Right, by threatening Lucifer and promising him rewards if he stopped doing whatever he was doing right now, the sixth son thought that this would solve his current situation.

In a way, one could say that the sixth son was a fast-thinker who could decide quickly in tough situations.

The only thing that was lacking from him is strength. It was his unhealthy body that was holding the sixth son back.

Well, it was only natural for him to wind up like this as he had other brothers who can take up the role of being a strong demon.

Since the sixth son could enjoy riches that only nobles could attain without working, the sixth son would gladly take that up even if he wouldn't be able to rule over the Warmester Denoble House, which is why his body was like this.

Anyway, when Lucifer heard those words, he only had a single reaction.

And that was...disgust. Lucifer then spoke as he looked at the sixth son with a  look on his face that tells the other man the disgust that he was feeling right now, "I don't care about any of that."

"You better tell me the location of the woman that you have in here or else..." Lucifer then released his mana all over the place together with his killing intent.

"I will make you experience hell greater than Hell itself," Lucifer said as fiercely as he could.

No, Lucifer didn't even have to try as he just had this natural scary-looking face right now.

Together with the killing intent that he released for the sixth son to feel, it was very effective as the sixth son couldn't help but just...pee on himself.

Of course, the sixth son tried to reel himself back in, but it was useless.

Due to the feeling that Lucifer would kill him no matter what he decides to do, the sixth son...for the first time in his life, has felt fear.

It was because...even if the sixth son decides to accept Lucifer's terms, he would still be killed.

And if he does not, he would be killed. In other words, there was no way out of this situation for the sixth son.

And since the sixth son was a man who got a good head above his shoulders, he quickly understood this the moment Lucifer released his killing intent.

And that was why the sixth son was unable to reel himself back. It was because he understood that he was going to die here no matter what if no help comes that he couldn't get a grip on himself.

His instincts as a demon didn't help him at all, and he could only try to back away from Lucifer as he tried to escape from this situation.

Of course, Lucifer could see this very well as he was just looking down on the sixth son who had a stupid look on his face.

The sixth son's face was full of snot now and tears, but he himself hasn't realized that those have fallen out of his eyes and nose.

That was obvious as the sixth son hasn't even tried to clean his face up, but it was only natural that he wouldn't have noticed something like that.

After all, his very life was in danger right at this very moment. Who would care for snot or tears if they were going to die at the end of the day?

Surely not the sixth son as he just tried to back away from Lucifer, hoping to escape with his little steps.

"I guess it's no use asking you, huh. This bastard messed up my plans. I made a trace now by killing this guy's subordinates so it would definitely be traced that there is someone who came here to attack the Warmester Family."

"However, it matters not anymore. I just need to wipe the trace myself and control the information and nothing's going to be spread."

Lucifer said all those words, and what he said was the truth.

He now has a trace in this Warm City other than the room where the corpses of the six pillars and the Patriarch are.

Since it was a trace, it can be lead up to him. What's more, people can investigate who died and what they were doing. Of course, not the sixth son, but the subordinates.

And their deaths would lead up to Lucifer. But...just as Lucifer said, it didn't really matter anymore.

Lucifer just decided to just stop being conservative from now and just have Rouge clean up the mess that he will make.

If that's the case, then Lucifer wouldn't have to worry about killing people or anyone tracing them.

Since...Rouge would be able to wipe it all off and erase the pieces of evidence. Hell, Rouge, as he would become the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House, would be able to make it seem like the subordinates who died here never existed in the first place.

Although the support for Rouge wouldn't really be that great whether it be outside or inside of the Warmester Denoble House, he would still be able to do something like that as he was still the Patriarch in the name.

And since Lucifer decided to just stop being conservative and do whatever he wanted without thinking of the consequences in the future, Lucifer...decided to kill the sixth son right here, right now even though he hasn't really found the woman, yet.

"I will just use the Demon Eyes again. Now that I decided to do this, I have no more use of you."

"Die," Lucifer said as he gathered his mana onto the tip of his finger.

He then pointed his finger at the sixth son. Of course, seeing this, the sixth son realized the situation right away.

"W-wait! Don't kill me! I can still give you money greater than what you could ever get in your lifetime!" The sixth son desperately said, but it was no use as a ray of light entered and made a hole through his forehead, exiting at the back of his head.

Blood flowed out of the hole on his forehead, and even bones and brain matter could be seen.

But that was not important as the sixth son's body...collapsed on the ground, void of life.

"You better be glad that you still haven't done the deed, yet or I would have to torture your soul personally," Lucifer murmured as he turned his body around.

Of course, since it has come to this situation and the sixth son 'ended' up dying, Lucifer naturally began to prepare himself to use the Demon Eyes again.

It was really...amazing and confusing at the same time for Lucifer that he would do something like this for a woman that he only met once.

Hell, the fact that he even considered opening up the Demon Eyes again even though there were risks and health issues involved wasn't something that Lucifer understood himself.

He just...did it so that he can find the woman faster.

In fact, Lucifer is the one who is confused the most here in this situation.

After all, this was the only time he acted this way.

However...before even Lucifer could try to open his Demon Eyes, there was a voice that called him, shouting.

"Lucis! I found her!" is what the voice said, and as soon as Lucifer heard those words, Lucifer shot open his eyes and moved towards the source of the voice.
