Chapter 273 - 273: I'm Not Talking To You

"Tristan, didn’t you say you’ll be silent? Don’t create troubles for us," Kellian also reminded Tristan, who rolled his eyes in response.

"Anyway, little Lucifer. You have grown up a lot. How are you?" He asked Lucifer.

"I have never been better. What about you two?’ Lucifer asked in return.

"We? How can we be good when you were missing for eight years? Where did you disappear last time? We sent you out for a few days, but you didn’t return. Even Caen went missing. Did we do something wrong last time?" Kellian asked, seemingly concerned.

"How can Caen return? He should already be dead by now. I think he died on the same day I was killed by Varant," Lucifer answered as he sat on a seat. "Why are you standing? Consider it your helicopter."

The others also sat down, smiling wryly. What ’Consider your helicopter’? It was already theirs; they thought as they sat down.

"What do you mean Varant killed you?’ Kellian inquired.

"I’m surprised you don’t know about this. But that’s what happened. The night I was on the beach, we were attacked by Varant and his team. They killed us both, I think. I’ve recently returned. I doubt Caen would be able to return the same way," Lucifer replied, resting one of his legs over the other as he sat comfortably.

" They found you the same day! How? They’ve been searching for you for years as...." Kellian started responding, but he suddenly stopped as he hit his forehead as if he had realized something. "Ah, I get it! A diversion for us! How could we miss it!"

"We are extremely sorry we couldn’t protect you that day. We promise we’ll get revenge on them together. Come back to home with us. Everyone is waiting for you. You can bring your friend as well. Come back to your family," he told Lucifer carefully.

Throughout this time, Kellian was the only one who was speaking. Yaliza hadn’t said anything and let Kellian take the lead since he was better with words. But he was also surprised to know what had happened eight days ago.

Tristan, on the other hand, was more concerned about Lucifer’s friends. As soon as Kellian told Lucifer to bring his friend as well, a glint flashed through his eyes.

"You want me to come back to you?" Lucifer asked, curious.

"Of course. Why won’t we?" Kellian responded.

"Then I have a condition. As long as it’s fulfilled, I’ll come back of my own volition and forget that you failed to keep me safe last time," Lucifer asserted.

"What condition?" Kellian inquired.

"I want Raia to come to bring me personally; only then will I come back," Lucifer replied.

"What nonsense! Who the hell do you think you are to ask him to come to take you personally?" Tristan stood up, yelling.

Lucifer glanced at Tristan as heavy winds suddenly moved before stopping right away.

Tristan’s lips opened slowly as he slowly moved his hand to touch his cheeks. He glanced at the fingers that he used to touch his cheeks to notice blood on them.

Kellian and Yaliza also stared at Tristan to notice that there was a little cut on his cheeks. Then though it was a minor cut, it was still bleeding a little.

" That cut could have been deeper, and it could have been on your neck too. So stay seated and don’t interfere when I’m not talking to you," Lucifer warned Tristan.

"You little bastard!" Tristan roared in rage as he grabbed the hilt of his katana.

"Tristan! Enough! Don’t you dare bring that sword out! I’m warning you!’ Kellian stood up and stepped in front of Tristan. He knew that if Tristan pulled out his sword, things were going to get out of hand.

"Nonsense! He attacked me first!" Tristan roared furiously.

"I don’t care who attacked first! It’s just a little cut! Sit down! Lucifer is younger than you!" Kellian reminded Tristan as he glared.

He didn’t want any harm to come to Lucifer as this kid was essential to Raia. Moreover, it wasn’t as if Lucifer could be killed anyways. It’ll just start an extended war which they didn’t need.

He was upset at Lucifer for doing it as well, but he understood that the times needed patience.

"That’s right. Don’t make things worse. Sit down," Yaliza also chimed in.

Tristan glared at Kellian, but he listened ultimately. He freed the hilt of his sword as he sat down, clenching his fist.

"Lucifer, please consider. Raia is working at the base. He’s extremely busy. Come with us. You can meet him at the base as well," Kellian suggested.

"I said what I wanted to. If he wants to come, I’ll go with him. If he doesn’t want to come, I’m fine staying alone," Lucifer stubbornly replied as he stood up.

"If he agrees, tell him to meet me at the Windy Cafe in Kensington. I’m sure you’ll be able to find it," he further said as he started leaving. "As I said, it’s better that you go back instead of waiting for me. Send him next time. I’ll wait there."

Saying that, Lucifer jumped out of the helicopter, flying back.

" Is it just me, or does he seem more arrogant?" Yaliza asked, frowning.

"He did. But what can we do? We need him. We can’t attack him or force him as that would be counterproductive. In any case, Raia should be able to come as well, if it’s for Lucifer. Let’s land in the city. We’ll wait for him to get here," Kellian responded, shaking his head.

He commanded the pilot to land.

The rotor blades started showing down as the helicopter landed on the ground. Kellian, Yaliza, and Tristan all stepped out of the helicopter.

After they stepped out, the helicopter started going back.

"You shouldn’t have stopped me back there. We don’t need that kid," Tristan finally opened his mouth as he gave a piece of his mind.

"Remember your promise. You won’t do anything stupid—no fighting anyone. I forbid you from using your sword," Kellian replied. "Just wait until we take them back. As for that Swordsman, I’ll let you battle him when we’re at base. How’s that?"

"Fine. I won’t fight him here," Tristan scoffed. "So, where are we going to stay? In a hotel?"

"That’s right. It’s better to stay here. Just like we saw the lightning, maybe APF also saw it. We need to keep an eye on Lucifer while also keeping him safe," Kellian replied as he started walking inside the city.

The small group of theirs went to a hotel and got rooms there.
