Chapter 155: Accept (1/2)

Lucifer finally asked his question to the brain, the question that he came here for in the first place.

Of course, Lucifer just waited patiently for the answer of the brain.

After all, he did not want to throw him off or anything of the sort as Lucifer did not want to add any unforeseen variable in the current situation and he just wanted to get whatever he wanted from the brain and get the hell out of here.

That was why Lucifer just waited patiently as he looked over at the brain, who seems to be thinking of his answer.

Well, the question is easy enough for the brain to answer. The brain definitely knew where the Luciferian Empire was located and he could tell Lucifer which way he should go.

That way, the threat known as Lucifer would be gone from this place and the brain and Berde would be able to continue on with their journey without minding anything anymore.

That was why the brain also wanted to answer him as fast as possible, but there was something that was preventing the brain from doing something like that.

It is because the brain is curious. A demon who is so strong that he can basically toy around with Berde, the brain's strongest subordinate, is asking for directions to the Luciferian Empire.

For what kind of reasons do such a demon has to go to the Luciferian Empire?

The brain is curious about this question, which is why he could not just help but think about how he would be able to ask Lucifer about that.

Of course, he would not ask Lucifer outrightly about it or anything of the sort.

He would do it discreetly, lead Lucifer with conversations to make Lucifer say the reasons himself without having the brain to ask him.

Naturally, the fact that the brain is even considering doing something like this means that he could do it.

He knows that he would be able to play with words, being able to trick Lucifer into answering the question that the brain would not even ask.

Well, the brain...is not a brain for nothing.

However, there is a reason why the brain is still not proceeding with it. And it is because he...fears the consequences.

What if Lucifer also turned out to be a smart guy and notices the trick that the brain is trying to pull?

Since Berde and the Brain literally have no way to fight against Lucifer, as that has been proven earlier, there would be no way out for the two of them if Lucifer wanted to kill them.

Of course, it is a sure way for Lucifer to become angry if he notices that the brain is trying to trick him.

Well, the brain is not really tricking him or anything of the sort, but it is somewhere along those lines.

And since the two of them cannot defend against Lucifer, the brain is hesitating if he should do something like this.

He cannot risk himself just because he was curious to know why Lucifer, a strong demon, is heading to the Luciferian Empire.

But..there is another card that the brain could play.

He would be able to try and get to know why Lucifer is heading to the Luciferian Empire...with minimal risks, and Lucifer might even become more friendly with them.

Although the brain did not want to do something like this, since it concerns his privacy and so on, he...ended up...playing the card that he could play.

And that card was...

”Well, I can definitely tell you the whereabouts of the Luciferian Empire, that's no big deal for me.”

”But...would you like to come with us? We are actually also on our way to the Luciferian Empire.”

The brain said. Right...the brain and Berde were about to go to the Luciferian Empire for unknown reasons.

And because of this, the brain thought that he can make Lucifer go with him.

That way, if Lucifer goes with him to the Luciferian Empire, the brain would have enough time to try and make friends with Lucifer.

If they were able to become friends, then the brain is basically safer than ever.

What's more, the brain would also get to know the reason why Lucifer would be going to the Luciferian Empire.

Although the brain does not really care about Lucifer, this might be a piece of really important information.

The information why Lucifer would go to the Luciferian Empire...might save the brain's life down the road.

You never know, and this is why the brain wanted to know.
