Chapter 200 - Patrick Wilson?

"Hey, you look.. Dog-tired!", Lucifer was startled looking at Adrian, he paused a second to find the right word. Adrian's mouth twitched.

A smiling, giddy Lucifer was greeted by an exhausted and beat Adrian, he was perched upon the comfy couch with huge eye bags under his blue eyes.

What Lucifer didn't know was that, he too was in no lesser than Adrian's state yesterday. Now that he had reenergized after consuming his vitamin pill - Sera. He is shamelessly and openly criticizing his brother on his weary looks flaunting his shiny visage.

"I'll be back.. In the meantime whip up some breakfast!", Lucifer ignored his dirty looks and walked into his bedroom for a quick shower and change of clothes.

Adrian stood up, taking steady strides to the kitchen he glanced around to look for ingredients. Rinsing his face and hands with water, he was now looking fresh and relaxed unlike earlier.

With an evil smirk on his fine face Adrian started preparing breakfast.

Soon the table was filled with bland scrambled eggs, almost burnt toasts and soggy cereals soaked in milk.

Adrian smiled as Lucifer stood perusing the breakfast on the dining table pursing his lips into a straight line.

Lucifer cursed himself for throwing such remarks at his brother in his happy state and ordering him around recklessly. He sure knows how to bear grudges.

"It's.. edible!", Lucifer took a bite of the toast and sputtered with a pained expression. Adrian simply smiled at his words.

Although the scrambled eggs were bland addition of salt and pepper somehow salvaged it's taste.

Chugging down the freshly squeezed orange juice, Lucifer washed down the bitter taste of the burnt toast in his throat and sighed.

After finishing the distasteful breakfast the duo sat down to discuss business. Adrian had called Lucifer to apprise him about the shocking events of last night.

"Yesterday night, we managed to recover Yang Deming's container with Damien's help. The transaction was between S Country and Yang Deming. And it is very important for him", Adrian reported to Lucifer as usual.

Lucifer hummed in response urging him to continue. Adrian glanced at him before speaking again.

"The man was baffled beyond words after receiving news from his assistant Mr Park and underlings. Voluntarily reaching out to us his assistant was rather elated to know that the container was safe and guarded by us", he scoffed in disdain, there was no reaction from Lucifer.

"We have succeeded in contacting him and negotiating the deal on our terms. He is willing to offer 5% of Golden Sun Corp's shares under Chang Holdings", he looked at him with a faint smile.

Lucifer merely looked at him, assimilating his words and understanding them in a deeper sense. The gears in his brain started racing at a top speed.

"Make it 7%.. or better 10%", there was coldness in his eyes as he spat these words.

Adrian nodded as he understood what Lucifer was trying to do. He looked at the man who had his eyes closed as he pondered in silence.

After a brief silence Adrian glanced at his face deliberating, his lips parted slowly.

"Hmm.. Don't you wanna know what's inside the container?", he asked after carefully gauging his expression.

Lucifer opened his eyes. He looked at Adrian with wondering and inquisitive eyes, and said nothing. Assuming his silence as a yes to he continued with a straight face.

"The object inside the container is a deadly and poisonous drug. It is concocted by a mad scientist, Patrick Wilson who was assumed dead ages ago. He was actually banished after his drugs and medicines started to have adverse effects. Currently he's in the clutches of the mafia at S Country"

Patrick Wilson? Lucifer furrowed his eyebrows. He's heard this name before but where?

Adrian didn't notice the change in his expression, with a steady flow he continues disclosing the bits of his research.

"After obtaining the drug I sent it to a laboratory for testing. The results showed that this drug is more harmful than any nuclear weapons out there", Adrian's low voice gives it an extra weighty effect.

Lucifer who was listening to all this had a blank expression however his heart and head was a jumbled mess.

The fact that 'that man' was his father filled him with abhorrence and repugnance in every fiber of his being.

"It's effects are believed to have grave repercussions for the entire region including women, men, wildlife like animals, plants, water bodies"

Their hearts jolted just by thinking about all the dire effects this kind of a deadly drug would have on this earth. They needed to destroy this drug immediately lest anyone lays their dirty hands on it.

"This kind of drugs and medicines are supplied to third world countries, countries that are war ridden and less populated countries by the powerful nations. They all join forces to gain sovereignty and supremacy over other small countries"

Lucifer and Adrian were well aware of how such things that are a threat to humanity are most valued in this world. Thus it was no shock that this drug was used as a pawn for satisfying greed and hunger for power.

"Yang Deming has been part of these deals, smuggling and trade since his adolescence. Damien, who was his closest aide and ally divulged all this information during the mission. It really helped us a lot"

Adrian had a somber smile on his face, his last words were for convincing himself that Damien Gold was a changed man now.

Lucifer could feel Adrian's pain, his life was no different than his. They were brothers after all, even their fate was mysteriously similar. He smiled at his own thoughts.

"Hmm.. You've done well. Handle the deal with Golden Sun Corps and don't let him have a upper hand in this matter. Also, find a way to destroy this drug and replace it before the transaction with him", after giving a thought he instructed the next course of action.

"Okay, Boss!!", he stood up and smiled brightly. He was relieved that Lucifer wasn't affected by this. Although he knew that he wouldn't bare his emotions to anyone.

"Boss!? You feed such unpalatable food to your boss?", he asked with a scowl, he was feeling insulted.

"I'll try harder next time!", Adrian chuckled in response and left the place, smiling widely.

Lucifer loved cooking since he was a child. If he could choose his life and ambitions there was no doubt that he'd be a renowned chef owning multiple chains of restaurants under him. Even if he doesn't regret his heart belongs to food and his love of cooking.
