"You're wrong. You're not important to us. I'm definitely going to let you leave. In fact, if you had told me before, you would already be free by now," Varant replied calmly.
"You promise you'll let me leave if I tell you?" Caen asked again suspiciously.
"I promise," Varant repeated, thoughtfully. "So tell me, where is Variant Uprising Headquarters? Where does Raia stay?"
Caen took a deep breath as he started speaking.
"The Variable Uprising Headquarters is..."
Varant seemed pleased as Caen started talking about the headquarters. He started listening carefully.
"The Variable Uprising Headquarters is..." Caen said before he stopped.
"It is....? Continue. Don't stop," Varant insisted.
"You promise you'll let me leave, right? No going back?" Caen asked again.
"I promise!" Varant repeated firmly.
"Alright. The Variant Uprising Headquarters is... It's in your mother's a*s!" Caen said as he burst into laughter again.
His mouth was still bleeding, and he was still in pain, but it didn't matter. He was not giving up.
"You!"
His tone made Varant even more furious as he grabbed Caen by the hands and broke both his arms, twisting them cruelly.
"Laugh! Laugh now!" Varant said as he tossed Caen towards the wall, making him crash on the wall.
"You'll never learn. But it doesn't matter. I'll come back again after a few months when your bones heal to break them again."
" It has only been twelve times that I did it after all. So heal fast like you did last time. I'll send a doctor to help you," Varant said calmly as he left the room, leaving the unconscious Caen behind.
" I'll see how long you can avoid answering me."
He locked the door again and left.
...
An armored helicopter flew from the top of APF headquarters, advancing towards the house of Veracity. At the same time, two sports cars were also racing towards the house of Veracity.
Lucifer was sitting in the second car that was going at the speed of three hundred miles per hour on the empty roads.
He kept his hand outside the window as he felt the winds brush against his hand. He had also taken off his gloves just for this purpose alone.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly when Cassius suddenly hit the break. The car skidded for a few meters before it actually stopped, right before it could hit Jiang's car that was stopping ahead.
"Why did he press the brake so suddenly? Did that guy not know we were behind? We could have been in an accident," Cassius said as he frowned. Opening the door, he stepped outside of the car.
Lucifer also wore the gloves as he left to see what was happening. Why did Jiang stop the car?
Lucifer and Cassius walked to Jiang.
As Lucifer saw what had happened, he didn't know how to react.
His lips opened slightly as he muttered, "What the heck is she doing here?"
"Hey, girl! Are you crazy! Why the hell did you jump off in front of my car! Did you want to be run over?"
Lucifer could see Jiang arguing with a Silver Haired girl who was none other than Jenilia that Lucifer had met on the boat.
She wasn't alone, though. There was a man standing with him who was dressed in the APF uniform.
Lucifer brought out his sunglasses as he wore them, covering his eyes.
"Come on! My car stopped working in the middle of the road! I need to get to the next city urgently. Can I please get a lift?" Jenilia asked Jiang. She was so immersed in talking that she didn't notice Lucifer in the distance.
"That's the way to ask for a lift? No! That's the way to go to hell within a minute! God, I'm amazed I didn't hit you accidentally," Jiang said furiously. "Step aside. We don't have time. We need to leave."
"Miss, I don't think this method is going to work. Let me take over." The man from the APF said as he stepped forward.
"Look, I'm from the APF Beta Squad. We need to get some place urgently, and I'm going to need your car. Hand over your keys and step aside. It's important," the dark-haired man said as he raised his hand towards Jiang as if asking for a key.
It seemed less like asking for the lift and more like taking over a car.
"APF?" Jiang let out, stuttering. He didn't want any conflict with them, so he was ready to give them a lift, but there was a problem.
"The car is two seater. I can only give life to one," Jiang said.
"You are misunderstanding. We aren't asking for a lift now. We're asking for your car."
"Step aside and give us your car. Leave your address with us; we'll make sure this car gets back to you," The Beta Squad member said arrogantly. It seemed like he wanted to show off before the girl.
Lucifer seemed upset at this action. He was prepared to interfere as his anger kept rising. He stepped forward, but before he could even do anything, he noticed that Cassius had taken action.
Cassius stepped in the middle of the Beta Squad Member and Jiang.
"Is this the new way of begging that I don't know about?" Cassius asked the dark-haired man who seemed to be in his late twenties.
"What nonsense! We are from the APF!" The dark-haired man replied furiously.
"I don't care if you're from APF, BPF, or XXX! I just want you to step out of our way. Repair your car if you want to get anywhere. We're not giving any lift," Cassius said, seemingly more arrogant than the APF.
Lucifer was amused at this sight. He folded his arms as he watched the show. He knew how intense Cassius was. If anything bad happened, it was going to be the Beta Squad member who was going to be down.
And if the girl from the Warlock Council interfered to hurt Cassius, she was going to see the wrath of Lucifer.
"It's interesting, though. An intern from the Warlock Council meeting with the APF? Is the Warlock Council trying to spread its influence in other continents too?" he muttered as he stared at Jenilia.
"What nonsense! I'll ask one last time. If you don't move aside then..." The dark-haired man said but didn't finish.
"Then what?" Cassius said as he picked up a thin branch of a tree that was lying near his feet.
His power allowed him to use his Divine Energy through any sword, but that wasn't his only power. His pretty power was that he could use any object as any weapon.
