Chapter 52 - Her husband is Lucifer

Tristan heard the voice couldn't help but react towards it. Although it sounded cold and hollow but his own body starts to tense up and he was feeling frantic. His heartbeat start to pound harder than usual his eyes couldn't stop searching for the owner behind that voice. He knew it's her. The only person who could made his body react towards anything about her. His wife. His instinct told him that his wife is here. He wanted to see her. But also doubt himself. He's in another part of the city and in a place where there's abandoned warehouse. She wasn't supposed to be here. Not in this place.

Seeing Tristan's tense body still unmoved, Ralph decided to march where he is. They needed answer but if the place is already under Googol, they will end up committing big crime. They will be seen as traitor if they disturb the place that's under Googol. Although he doesn't know much about Googol but from he heard from Tristan, it must have been a group that is only known by the higher up in the political world. Probably under the name of the President. They shouldn't risk it. They will somehow find their own answer one way or another.

"Lucifer." Ralph call out Tristan's other name.

Tristan just kept quiet while his eyes is still looking intensely at the rows of trees. After what seem like a couple of minutes, he finally move and leave the warehouse followed by others.

Seeing Princes of Hell leave, Farrah who has been putting on a cold air around her finally breathe in relief. How could she not know the Princes of Hell. Being friends with Alicia, of course she knows the identity of Princes of Hell and they were inform earlier about them. She didn't expect they will meet like this. Despite their gory mask, she knows full well who they are behind the mask. Only the one whom they called Lucifer is still unknown even to this day.

Alicia who's been hiding at the rows of trees breathe out in relief as well. Her whole body shivers in fright. Not because she knows the 7 men is Princes of Hell. But the person whom have been searching her whereabouts so intensely made her scared. They call him Lucifer. But she call him Dear. How could she now know it was her husband. Despite knowing in a short time but she knows by the way he stand, his tone, his figures especially and also the way he kept on searching for her the moment she talked. If she was sensitive when it comes to him, her husband are 100 times more sensitive towards her. Every single thing about her is in the palm of his hand. Aside from her secret as Xero, he most probably know everything that is about her. They are indeed husband and wife. Things will get messier if he truly know of her identity. She couldn't imagine the disaster he's going to bring due to his over-protectiveness. Thankfully her husband decided to retreat after their warning. She wouldn't want to beat up her husband and her brother. She shook her head hard imagining the outcome. She can see herself being house arrest for the next two years. And if she ever did manage to coax him, she'll still be under his watch. Shivers ran down her spine. Whatever it is, she better head back to the base and inform others about what she knows about Lucifer.

It wasn't long before they all gather at their base. Immediately they took off the overbearing combat outfit. If it wasn't because they were dealing with unknown group, they wouldn't even wear it. Turns out the other group was Princes of Hell. Farrah was relief they were ordered to wear the combat outfit. At least it could hide her identity. Especially from that relentless guy whom she kept on bumping after Alicia's wedding. It sounded like she hated it but at the same time she was flustered. Her situation is the same with Alicia. She couldn't bother to think about relationship right at this moment. Seeing how Alicia had to cope her two lives is pretty complicated enough. She's not that good enough to live like Alicia. Forget it. She put everything about Grey in the back of her head as she continue with her investigation. The complicated and deadly weapon that they manage to steal. At this time Alicia told them what she found out from their encounter.

"Master Nil, i have something to report." Alicia said when she saw everyone have arrive. Master Nil just nodded his head giving her permission to proceed.

"Our encounter today with the Princes of Hell made us come face to face with the mysterious Lucifer. And i found out who Lucifer is."

"Who?" Before Master Nil could asked, he was interrupted by Uno who had his face behind the screen but manage to catch every word she said.

"It turns out Tristan is Lucifer."

Silence occupying the room for a minute or so before they erupted. Master Nil however looking calm as if the news isn't surprising.

"Okay, that's it. Master, we request you to let Alicia rest and postponed all of her on the field work. This matter could compromise the whole mission. It's no wonder that Lucifer were looking around before leaving the site. This is too dangerous." Wu, whom rarely said anything decided to say something. Having Alicia roaming around to gather evidence and dealing with MUTINY is bad moves not when Princes of Hell are looking into the matter. She could end up meeting them like today. It was full of suspense and terrifying moment. Remembering back the gory mask that Lucifer wore, he could imagine god of death is on standby mode should Lucifer insist on attacking them. They manage to get away today. But what about next time? It's too risky. Whatever that is connected to MUTINY, they can't afford to make anymore mistake. They have found all the clues and the name of the leader and the person whom have been funding them all this time. This is truly not a good time to make a mistake. As much as they needed Alicia's high IQ and her astounding skills, no one can know about her existence. This is the most important part of all. They were all aware the reason Googol existed. Protecting Xero is their top priority.

Alicia wanted to protest but Master Nil cut her off before she could say anything.

"I was planning to do so since she's pregnant. And the fact that Lucifer is Tristan is the more reason i will be taking Alicia off the mission. But, the fact that we lack of people, i'll be reassigning Uno's job. He will be taking over Alicia's job and Alicia, just for these few months your ban will be uplifted to help them during the mission. You don't need to follow us since i'm guessing it's a piece of cake for you to breach any 'wall' no matter how far you are." Master Nil had to do so since she'll be creating trouble if he didn't give her anything to do. She might end up disobeying him considering they are one step closer to catching the MUTINY leader.

Alicia's face brighten up the moment she heard the banned has been uplifted. Her intention to protest flew right out of the window as she happily shove Uno off the table. She was caressing the keyboard and hug the monitor as if she could not be part of it.

The others who are watching only shook their head. Some rolled their eyes upward. It turns out, it's easy to fool Alicia. No matter how high her IQ is, her weakness will always be anything to do with hacking. Uplifting the banned will keep her busy without her being nosy when they do their mission. It's a relief.
