Chapter 90: Selection (1/2)

”Ah, I forgot about you since I was in this situation, but you were still here, huh,” Lucifer's voice resounded out in Rouge's ears.

Of course, when Rouge heard Lucifer's words, he turned his head to look at him almost immediately with a shocked look on his face.

Well, it was just because Rouge was still unable to understand what was going on in this room.

The 6 pillars lying unconscious, and the Patriarch suddenly collapsed suddenly on the ground.

And the reason why the strong people in Rouge's eyes were lying on the ground was because of Lucifer.

Even though Rouge didn't really see what happened, he was sure that Lucifer was the one who did those things.

That was why...Rouge could suddenly feel a fear for Lucifer that he didn't feel before.

Rouge didn't know anything about Lucifer anymore. He thought he did, he thought he knew him, but not now.

And the most fearsome known to a man...is the unknown.

Every man, no matter how tough they look or how strong they are, will fear the unknown since it is the unknown.

Of course, not the really strong ones such as the Hell Gods. There was a reason why 'God' was included in their title.

Either way, it was the truth that in this situation, for Rouge, Lucifer was unknown to him.

He didn't know anything about him, and he didn't know his strength, identity, purpose, literally everything.

And that...alone is enough to make Rouge, the man who killed at a very young age and murders people for a living, be scared out of his wits.

However, it's not like Rouge can just be scared all the time.

Even though Lucifer was unknown to him, there was something that Rouge knew very well in this situation.

He knew that Lucifer...was an enemy to the Warmester Denoble House, and that makes him...a target for elimination.

However, Rouge knew that he is no match for Lucifer, which is why...he spoke.

”You...what did you do...do you understand what you've done? I don't know if you killed them or what, but if you did...then consider taking your own life now.”

”After all, if the Warmester Denoble House catches you, you would definitely wish you were dead,” Rouge said as he started to sweat all over his body while trying to look as calm as possible on the surface.

There was a reason why Rouge was saying these words to Lucifer, and it was because he wanted Lucifer to kill himself.

If Lucifer would just kill himself, Rouge wouldn't have to waste his time fighting him or whatever, and he would be able to subdue the enemy perfectly as well.

In other words, Rouge was just trying to trick Lucifer.

Of course, it was a real threat since the enemies of the Warmester Denoble House have always ended up dead somewhere yet they are still alive.

Right...they were dead yet still alive. It was just like the demons who the newcomers killed the first time they came here.

However, if Lucifer did really kill the 6 pillars and the Patriarch, there's just no way that the Warmester Denoble House would be able to catch him and punish him.

Their strongest fighters would be dead by him, and it was by the hands of Lucifer, no less.

That was why Rouge was just trying to trick Lucifer.

Of course, it didn't work as Lucifer knew what Rouge was trying to do right away.

”Come on. I know that you didn't really see how I killed those guys, but did you really think that someone who can fight against them will fall for petty tricks just like that?”

”Here I thought that you would be useful as the decorate head for the Warmester Denoble House, too...but it looks like you are just another trash that doesn't have its use,” Lucifer said as he looked at Rouge with disappointment in his eyes.

Right, Lucifer planned to make Rouge the dummy head for the Warmester Denoble House after he cleans them up.

This would mean that Lucifer wouldn't have to mind the gossips surrounding the Warmester Denoble House since Rouge would be the one to take them, and he would be able to make the Warmester Denoble House work for him as well.

This would become his organization, but...Lucifer didn't plan to join them too deep.

After all, the Warmester Denoble House is connected to the Zacharath Kingdom.

That was why Lucifer just thought of using them until he can properly form his own organization.
