Chapter 121: Follow My Instructions, And You'll Live Longer.

After Lucifer and Jessica had enough fun, they got dressed again and returned to the main event hall. However, they didn't go back together.

Instead, Jessica entered first, acting like she had gone to the restroom. A few minutes later, Lucifer entered and joined Claire and the others again.

'That was a great experience,' Lucifer thought to himself. 'I don't think I'll ever get bored of it.'

Lucifer then glanced towards Jessica, who was now sitting next to Samuel. The two of them exchanged some words with each other before turning their attention back towards the stage.

"Is your business done?" Claire asked when Lucifer sat down next to her. "It took quite a while for you to come back."

"Yes, it was very fruitful." Lucifer answered with a smile. "But I'm back now. What did I miss? Anything interesting?"

"Nothing much. They just finished selling a pair of earrings made by a famous person. That was the last item in this auction. So after dinner, the event will come to an end." Claire explained.

Lucifer nodded his head and turned to look at the stage, where Samantha was now preparing to announce the total amount raised by this event. She looked quite happy with the result as she smiled brightly at everyone present in the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending tonight's auction. All of you have helped us achieve our goal of raising more than $100 million for those affected by the recent natural disaster. It is thanks to all of you that this event was a success." Samantha paused and then added, "But of course, this wouldn't be possible without our sponsors, who made this possible.

Let us give them a round of applause!"

The entire hall burst into cheers and applause as everyone stood up to show their appreciation towards the sponsors.

Samantha waited until the cheering died down before continuing, "Without further ado, please enjoy the dinner prepared for you by our top chefs. I hope you enjoy your meal!"

The very next moment, many waiters walked into the hall carrying plates covered in silver lids. They began heading towards the guests, who watched them with anticipation.

The waiters stopped at the tables one by one, but instead of serving food, they stood still and looked at everyone in the hall with cold expressions.

They didn't say anything or even move a muscle. They just stood there silently. It was quite creepy.

Lucifer furrowed his brows and wondered, 'What are they doing? They should've served the food by now.'

The same thought occurred to the guests, who couldn't understand why the waiters were acting like this. Everyone began to look around, wondering what was going on.

"Good." The man smiled. "I knew you were smart enough to cooperate with me. Now then, let's get started."

The guests followed his instructions, putting the items they had purchased at tonight's auction on their table while putting their watches and jewelry next to them. It didn't take long for everyone's tables to be full of precious items.

Lucifer furrowed his brows as he watched this unfold. 'What the hell is happening? How did this guy manage to bring in all those weapons?' He wondered as he observed the men. 'Shouldn't the security staff be dealing with these bastards? Why aren't they doing anything? Or are they already dead?'

Lucifer looked towards the security guards who were standing around the hall. They were all pointing their guns at the guests. 'So they're not dead... They're on this bastard's side.' He realized.

"What should we do?" Melody whispered to Lucifer, who was sitting beside him. She sounded quite nervous.

However, Lucifer remained calm. "Nothing. We can only wait and do what they say for now."

"Are you sure? What if they decide to kill us later on?" Melody asked again. "What should we do then?"

"Even if they do decide to kill us, what can we do?" Lucifer responded with another question. "We are surrounded by armed men. Even if we try to resist, it'll be useless."

Lucifer paused for a second before adding, "So let's just do what they say and pray that they'll let us go after taking everything we have here."

"Hahahaha.... This boy is right." The man on the stage laughed as he heard Lucifer's words. "There's no point trying to resist. If you do, you'll end up like your friend over here." He pointed toward the dead body lying on the ground. "And I don't want to create more holes in beautiful ladies' bodies. It would be such a waste."

The man then turned to look at Lucifer, who was sitting in front of the stage. "You're a smart one, boy. I like that. However, I remember that you're the one who spent over $10 million on the diamond necklace, right? Don't you dare try to hide it. We've been watching your every move since the beginning.

I must say you have good taste. But too bad, you won't get to give it to the person you bought it for. Now hand it over to us."

Lucifer's face remained expressionless as he stared at the man. He didn't say anything. Instead, he simply pulled out the velvet box containing the diamond necklace and put it on the table in front of him.

"Hahaha! Very good! Follow my instructions, and you'll live longer." The man laughed again.

Seeing everyone had put all the items and valuables on their tables, he announced, "Now then, boys. Collect everything on the table and bring it here. Make sure you don't miss anything. Even a tiny piece on their bodies can fetch a lot of money. Don't disappoint me."

"Yes, Boss!" The waiters replied in unison before approaching the guests' tables to take away everything. They stuffed everything into large bags they had prepared beforehand. They didn't miss anything at all. They even took the handbags and purses that were hanging on the women's chairs.

The guests were silent as they watched these men steal everything from them. They didn't utter a single word of protest.

Suddenly, the doors of the hall opened, and several armed men dressed in black suits walked inside. Each of them carried guns in their hands, ready to fire at anyone who dared to resist them.

"Boss! The preparations are complete!" A man who appeared to be their leader reported to the large man standing on the stage. "We have secured the hotel and all its facilities. No one can enter or escape from this place."
