Chapter 122: Knowledge (1/2)

And to cut to the chase, Lucifer spoke, ”So? Are you going to betray the Warmester Denoble House just like Rouge did, or no?”

He said, asking Oumu the important question.

It was only natural that Lucifer would ask this question to Oumu since this is what he came here for in the first place.

Besides, Lucifer wanted to get this situation done and go on his way.

Now that he was done with making his body heal itself, Lucifer didn't have anything else to do here in this room.

Since Oumu, the demon who has the role of a bridge to make sure that Lucifer would be introduced to the Warmester Denoble House, is already here, Lucifer wanted to finish it quickly.

And to finish it quickly, Oumu would have to make a decision first.

Of course, if Oumu's decision was something that Lucifer didn't want to hear, then one could expect that Oumu won't be living anymore after he said his piece about the current situation.

Anyway, Oumu was able to hear what Lucifer said clearly, and this made him think while he was looking at him.

'Hmmm...my first impression is...he's oppressive, isn't he?' Oumu thought.

Right, that was his first impression of Lucifer, and that was only normal.

After all, it was the truth that Lucifer is oppressive. He makes other people follow his wishes and order without any question, and if they don't follow him, dire consequences await those who disobey or those who do not listen.

And there was nothing wrong with that. At least, in this world which is full of violence and death, oppressors are nothing new.

And Lucifer is actually a kind oppressor, as ironic as it may sound.

Why? It was because he doesn't abuse his faithful followers or anything of the sort.

Of course, he might sound harsh and threaten them from time to time, but there are certain demon kings who kill their followers just because they weren't able to complete his or her orders.

Hell, there are even some demons who kill people just for fun, and that was only natural.

Demons are demons, one cannot reason with them unless you can do it by force.

The only reason why there are order and peace in the society of demons is because the existence of strong demons who unite the demons together.

In other words, the Hell Gods. If we were to talk about a much smaller scale, then the kings who are the law in their respective kingdom.

That was why...it wasn't really bad that Lucifer is an oppressor according to the demon's values.

It was a bonus that Lucifer wasn't the type to kill his subordinates just because he felt like it or anything of the sort.

And if you think about it from a demon's perspective, it was actually a tempting offer to serve under Lucifer.

Lucifer is a strong demon, and that was proven as he was able to destroy the Warmester Denoble House's upper echelon just by himself.

Oumu knows this as well since it would be impossible for Rouge to betray the Warmester Denoble House unless something impossible happened right in front of him.

And demons flock to strong demons, which is why there are kingdoms and peace when demons are creatures who wreak havoc all over the place.

Naturally, Oumu became tempted to serve Lucifer since he could also feel that Lucifer is really strong.

Hell, just his killing intent was able to make the three demons cower in fear, frozen in place, unable to think of what to do when Lucifer released his killing intent.

That was why...it wasn't such a bad idea to betray the Warmester Denoble House for Lucifer, according to Oumu's calculations and instincts.

However, there was something that was preventing Oumu from fully committing to betraying the Warmester Denoble House.

And that is...

”There's something stopping me...Lucis, from betraying the Warmester Denoble House,” Oumu said with a thin smile on his face.

It seems that he was quite confident about Lucifer not being unhappy about what he was about to say.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for one to have a thin smile on one's face when facing against the oppressive and heavy pressure of Lucifer.

And as for Lucifer...he just narrowed his gaze while looking at Oumu.

He didn't expect that Oumu would come so forward with saying something like this.
