Chapter 155 Face Reveal (2/2)

”Yes?”

Zero frowned. He didn't know how to ask it without sounding rude so he decided to be honest. ”Mister, are you blind?”

Baal stiffened and Lilith stopped chatting with Truen. Nobody moved an inch when Lucifer didn't answer immediately. Zero wanted to reverse time and smack himself for thinking that asking something in such a blunt manner was a good idea. It clearly wasn't. Lucifer would be angry at him for being so insensitive but it was much too late to regret. The doctor's apprentice mentally readied himself for a tongue-lashing but it didn't come.

Lucifer threw his head backwards and laughed. It was no secret that he'd lost his sense of sight. Everyone in the abyss knew that. For Zero to be ignorant about it, Lucifer had nothing to say about that. However, what tickled him was the way Zero looked at him with such sincerity and concern. Even if he lost both his arms and legs, Lucifer wouldn't need the concern of anyone. He was the most powerful demon in Hell, such a handicap was nothing.

Zero was confused when Lucifer started laughing. Was the demon also touched in the head?

”Boy, I may be blind but I'm no handicap.”

Zero nodded, unsure of how to react to it. ”I'm sure you don't have problems walking without banging into anything but wouldn't it be nice to see again?”

Lucifer didn't think that Zero understood how the abyss worked. He was better off without his eyes. Who in the right frame of mind wanted to look at all the filthiness and ugliness that existed in the abyss? It was a corrupted place, forsaken by everything else. Without the Demon Lords holding it together, the plane would collapse and fall into the void.

”I've lived for a long time, there is nothing more I wish to see.”

Zero didn't quite believe that. However, he didn't pry. After inheriting Gugu's memories, he learnt not to meddle too much into other people's business. Often times, nothing good came out from it. Still, he couldn't help but feel that it was a shame. Not wanting to see such a beautiful world? Zero couldn't imagine it.

”Aren't you curious about how I look like?” he asked, trying to reel Lucifer into agreeing.

The Demon Lord of Pride raised a brow elegantly. Did this runt seriously think he wouldn't see through his intention? Healing the eyes of a Demon Lord with his superior powers, Zero could ask for anything in the world. As terrible as demons were, they were creatures of contract. Lucifer wasn't a fool, he wasn't going to fall for that.

”I bet you're only saying it because you haven't seen how awesome my new body looks like.”

Zero pouted when Lucifer didn't bite. Baal was sweating nervously behind. What was his stupid friend trying to accomplish by provoking the greatest demon alive?

Instead of taking offence, Lucifer threw his head back to laugh. ”And what makes you think that I'm interested to see what you look like?”

Zero thought hard and bit on his bottom lip. It was really hard to get this unsolicited patient to agree to treatment. Demon Lords sure can be stubborn. Zero remembered how difficult it was for him to have Baal agree to have let him cure his sinus issues. Without renewed determination, Zero countered.

”I bet you've never seen a person as ordinary as me before.”

That declaration left everyone in the dust. What was Zero talking about? Ordinary? Him?

Lucifer didn't bother to control himself after that statement. Baal watched in sick fascination at how his teacher drooled and snorted after failing to control the laughter tearing him apart from inside. Zero didn't sound like he had any ulterior motive other than wanting to cure his eyes and that in itself screamed stupid or kind. In Zero's case, maybe a little of both.

”Very well,” he conceded. ”Let's do it. You can cure my eyes. However, if I'm not impressed by how ordinary you look, you will have to attend my school for a week.”

The Demon Lord knew that Baal had lost to Zero in a bet and was unable to find a way to get the teen to attend school. Taking pity on his ex-student who now had to become a guest lecturer for his elite classes for a week, the headmaster decided to use this to his advantage.

Zero blinked. He didn't know what school was exactly but according to Baal, it was the worst place in the abyss to be at. Zero didn't want to go there but in order to appease his stubborn patient, the brunet agreed to do a face reveal.

”Deal,” he told Lucifer and immediately a magic scroll materialised. Zero signed it after reading the contract thrice and Lucifer did the same. The scroll disintegrated and Zero wondered what he'd gotten himself in.

”You can begin treatment tomorrow. I'll be looking forward to how ordinary you will look like in my castle,” Lucifer smirked and turned into a cloud of bats before making his dramatic exit.

Baal sighed. It certainly didn't take long for Zero to look for trouble. He gave Truen a clap on the back as the wood elf worked himself into another frenzy.
