Chapter 883: Challenge

There were so many big names that had arrived here with Lucifer, stunning everyone. The one who attracted the most attention was still Lucifer, though.

Everyone stepped aside, clearing the path to the entrance. They knew that if Lucifer was here, there was a good chance that he was here to enter the mall. Most assumed that he was here for shopping. Even powerful people did shopping after all.

With calm steps, Lucifer advanced towards the entrance of the mall. His men followed closely behind.

As Lucifer reached the entrance, he went through a detector that started beeping as soon as he and his team passed through for some reason.

Lucifer glanced at the guard, seemingly amused. The guard didn’t even bother to step closer to Lucifer to check him. If this guy wanted to, he should blow up this entire mall from the outside. Did he really need to bring something illegal inside? And even if he did, the guard wasn’t going to be the one who stopped Lucifer.

Lucifer shrugged his shoulders as he continued advancing. Salazar nodded toward the guard, knowing he had made the right decision. Even he didn’t know why the detector started beeping as soon as Lucifer had entered. It wasn’t as if Lucifer was carrying a weapon.

Lucifer stood in the middle of the hall, observing his surroundings. In such a big mall, he needed to find Veracity which wasn’t an easy task.

“You have any idea where she might be in here?” he asked, glancing back at Kellian.

Kellian shook his head. “Let me locate her.”

He spread his arms. Thousands of shadows came out of his bodies, going in different directions to locate Veracity.

It was as if the time had suddenly stopped in the entire place as everyone was focused on Lucifer. Not a single person who had seen Lucifer was moving. They all wondered why he was here.

With one hand in his pocket, Lucifer started walking towards a small shop. By the time Kellian was looking for Veracity, he decided to explore the mall. He had heard a lot about this place, but it was his first time coming to a place like this. There were just so many times here.

He noticed many shops on the ground floor, but there was one particular one which attracted his attention. It was the kid’s zone where he should see multiple games. The games brought out his inner child. Unlike all the adults, the kids were still going about, doing their things, playing games.

Pushing the door open, Lucifer stepped inside the kids’ zone and walked to the first game he could see. It was a physical game where a kid had to throw the rings at the items, and whichever item the ring landed on was the prize.

Watching Lucifer observing a kid playing the game, Salazar couldn’t help but smile. He could see Lucifer wanted to try it as well. He just needed a little push.

“You know, Predictor isn’t running away. We have some free time as well. How about we play a game? Let’s see who wins?” Salazar suggested.

The kid’s turn was already over, and he had failed to win anything. With disappointment on his face, he moved over to a different game.

“Only for kids under 15,” Lucifer pointed at the rules on the side. “I suppose none of us are 15 anymore?”

“Oh, I doubt the staff is going to make a fuss about the rules,” Salazar smirked. “It’s just a game, after all.”

“Shouldn’t we go ahead?” he asked one of the staff members, already knowing their answer.

The staff member nodded their head immediately. He would have to be crazy to say no.

He swiftly gave eighteen rings to Salazar. “You all get three rings each. Whichever item you get will belong to you.”

“Great.” Salazar spread the rings equally. “Lucifer, you take the first turn. Whoever gets more items wins.”

Holding three rings in his hand, Lucifer took the lead.

“Which is the most expensive one?” he asked the staff member.

The man pointed at a small red box which was the smallest item there and thus hardest for her. “That small box contains a beautiful golden ring, but to win, you need to make all three rings fall on it.”

“I see. Doesn’t look hard.” Lucifer focused on the small box in the middle. Placing his entire focus on the box, he tossed the five-inch wide ring.

The ring flew towards the small box, only to land just a few inches before the box. Lucifer failed in the first try itself.

“It is harder than it looks,” he let out, smiling wryly. He tossed another, but this time he used a bit too much strength, and the ring hit the wall in the back. He failed again.

Even though he knew he couldn’t win the box anymore, he still wanted to get at least one ring in. He could’ve easily used his wind to help him, but he wanted to do it himself without help.

Unfortunately, even the third ring couldn’t help him as it missed as well.

“My control is worse than I thought,” he shook his head in disappointment as he stepped back. “Go ahead.”

Salazar went next. For some reason, he was much better than Lucifer at it. All three of his rings fell on one item each. Even he didn’t target the small box though.

Tristan also attempted to get the small box, but two of his three missed. There was not a single person here who managed to get the small box three times in a row.

Ultimately, the winner was decided to be Salazar, who got the most items. All the items that he won were given to the kids in the shop.

Lucifer left the shop, being informed that they had found Veracity.

Kellian had located her in a shop on the third floor.

Instead of taking a lift, Lucifer used his flight to reach the third floor with everyone else.

Kellian led Lucifer to the shop where Veracity was buying clothes. Pushing the door open, Lucifer stepped inside.

However, as soon as he entered, he froze still. It wasn’t because he saw Veracity. Instead, he had seen another face that he had never thought he would see ever again.

“What are you doing here?” Lucifer asked grimly. This person… He wasn’t supposed to be here! How was he here!

“Lucifer Azarel?” The person responded with just as much surprise. “Is it really you?”

“Why are you here?! Answer me!” Lucifer asked again in full seriousness.
