The Welling palace was filled with silence.
There were only two people in this vast mansion as all the others were killed, including Joe.
"And that's the end of it," Lucifer muttered as he walked back to the sofa.
He calmly glanced at Jiang as he asked, "How does it feel to be the richest guy in the city?"
"It feels amazing. And it's all because of you. Thank you so much," Jiang replied, grateful to Lucifer.
"You don't need to thank me for that. It'll come in handy in the future," Lucifer explained. "Anyway, I think you can afford the best car in the world now. Get the fastest car so we can travel faster on time."
"Cars? We have private jets now! We don't need cars!" Jiang let out, excited. He had so much wealth that he could buy everything.
"I know, but I still want a car. And I want an illegal one that won't lead back to you. I'm sure you can handle it," Lucifer said, shaking his head.
"Also, you know that the construction shouldn't happen in my land. Take care of that too. Arrange those two things, and then we'll leave to meet Veracity," He further said as he stood up.
"I'll take care of everything," Jiang agreed. "Are you going to sleep now?"
"Yeah. I haven't rested properly in a long time. Arrange everything. Tomorrow, I want the car here," Lucifer said as he flew upstairs. He was going to take a bedroom here.
Unlike being a homeless avenger like before, he was going to make as many safety nets as he could. And having one of the wealthiest people in the country under his thumb was a part of his plan.
As Lucifer went to the bedroom, Jiang sat on the sofa.
"I did tell him that I'm going to handle everything, but I just took over the business. I don't even have that many contacts."
"I can stop the plans of construction, but where will I arrange the cars from? I'll talk to the manager of Welling. Maybe he can give me some ideas."
Jiang brought his phone out and called the Manager in Welling Construction.
...
Cassius was sitting in the business class on the plane that was flying towards Elisium.
His ears were covered with headphones that were playing natural sounds.
As for his Sword, he was carrying that with him. Since he was a Warlock and belonged to a special family, he was allowed to carry his treasures with him, unlike others.
Through the windows of the plane, he could see outside. The sky seemed to be covered in dark clouds. It seemed like there was going to be rain soon.
...
Lucifer was lying on the bed, thinking about his future. He had many new goals now, which didn't stop at Varant.
His goals were far more significant now, including finding that Inhuman who he was linked to. He needed answers as to how he was related to that person.
He also needed to get his hands on the seven stones for that, starting with Varant, who had the red one.
Then he also wanted to explore the level four dungeon which his parents had entered to see what was actually inside.
There were so many plans in his head that he believed he needed to adjust them in proper order.
"I forgot to tell Jiang to get a phone for me too. I'll do that later," Lucifer muttered as he closed his eyes.
He soon fell asleep on the bed of a billionaire, which seemed to be the softest bed he had experienced in a long time.
As the night started getting deeper, Lucifer fell asleep, unaware of when it actually happened.
As he slept, he saw a dream again after a long time, but he didn't believe this was his memory.
In his dream, he found himself standing before a golden door that had the lock that fit his key.
He slowly took off the key from his neck and entered it in the lock before he twisted it.
Click!
With a clicking sound, the door unlocked.
Lucifer took a deep breath as he pushed the door open.
The heavy golden door slowly opened to reveal what was inside.
As he saw the door open, his face went pale at the sight of what he saw inside.
The body of his parents was lying on the ground, unmoving. There were holes in their chests.
There was another person standing near them. As for that person, he was none other than Lucifer himself.
One of his eyes was bright violet, nothing like it had ever been. There were two hearts in his hand that seemed to belong to his parents.
Lucifer saw the being that looked like himself. He knew it was a dream, but it seemed so realistic that it was slightly scary.
The Lucifer look-alike crushed the two hearts that were in his hands before he tossed them away.
He slowly walked towards Lucifer.
"Who are you?" Lucifer asked the creature who stopped before him.
The creature who seemed to be Lucifer didn't reply. He just gave an evil-looking grin as he inserted his hand in Lucifer's chest and crushed his heart.
"Haah!"
Lucifer woke from his nightmare, realizing that his hand was on his chest where his heart was. He also felt some pain. It didn't look like it was a dream. He really felt like someone had actually stabbed him.
His chest was feeling heavy as well.
He got off the bed as he looked at the clock. It seemed like it was morning already.
He left the room, but he still hadn't removed his hand from his chest.
"Jiang!" Lucifer yelled to call Jiang since he didn't know which room was his.
"I'm here!" Jiang exclaimed as he stepped out of his room.
He was still in his towel as if he had just stepped out of the shower. As Lucifer was calling him, he didn't even bother to get dressed properly in hurry.
"Have you arranged the car?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
"That's right. They should be here anytime today. I got us more than one," Jiang explained.
"That's good. Finish getting dressed," Lucifer told Jiang as he went downstairs.
Pushing the door open, he left the Palace to take a short walk outside in the garden to calm his heart.
Lucifer was taking a walk in the garden when he noticed three sports cars entering the premises of the Welling Estate.
"The cars... Not bad," Lucifer muttered as he observed the cars that were coming in. They were not only fast, but they also looked sleek and beautiful.
