Chapter 264: I Embrace My Demon

As Lucifer said all this, Ayn had understood a few things. It seemed like eight years ago, Varant had met Lucifer.

"Was that boy you?" She asked grimly. 

​​

"That's right. That boy was me!" Lucifer said as he spread his arms. "I was the boy who was killed and then tossed into the middle of the sea to rot!"

"You know what's truly funny?" he further asked. 

"W-what?" Ayn inquired.

"It's the way he did it," Lucifer said, smiling. "This world had already crushed my heart with their cruelty, but that bastard Varant, he literally crushed my heart."

" It's fine, though. I'll give him the same treatment. I always pay back with interest. Ask those scientists," he further said. "The only difference will be that I won't attack him from behind after stopping his power when he's unaware like he did to me."

"Instead, I'll kill him from the front when he has his powers," he declared. "That day will come soon too. And it depends on you if you want to stay alive to watch that day or not."

"You can't be telling the truth. I refuse to believe it. There are too many loopholes in your story! You say you weren't able to use your powers. Why would he even kill you instead of capturing you and taking you back?" Ayn asked, not believing. 

"Well, you'll have to ask him that question. But if I were to guess, it'll be because of these eyes. He was probably scared of them when he had no reason to. But now... I will give him a reason to be scared. I'll become the nightmare that will keep him awake at night!" Lucifer said as he clenched his fist. 

"What do you want from me?" Ayn asked, changing the topic. Since she still didn't believe Varant could've done this. 

She believed Lucifer's claim that Varant met him. And she also believed that a fight took place between them, but she didn't believe that he killed Lucifer when Lucifer couldn't use his powers. 

Why would Varant even search for Lucifer all these years otherwise?

Instead, she now thought that Varant and Lucifer fought, and Lucifer had injured Varant by using some evil trick before escaping. That's why he wasn't seen for so long. 

Varant didn't want to accept that a kid defeated him. He was embarrassed, and that's why he didn't tell her how he was hurt. That's what her imagination came down to. 

"What do I want from you? The answer is simple. I want information. As for the information I want, it's about-"

Knock! Knock!

Lucifer started explaining what he wanted when he heard a knock on the door. He stopped and walked towards the door. 

He opened the door to see the maid standing before him with a tray that had two plates. 

"Place that on the table," he told her lazily. 

The maid stepped inside and walked over to the table. After placing the food, she left, not caring about the woman that was on the bed. 

Lucifer closed the door as he turned towards Ayn again. 

"So where were we? That's right, the inform-"

Growl...

He had just started speaking when he heard the growling of Ayn's stomach. 

"Fine. Eat first. It would be best if you didn't die before you can be of use," Lucifer said as he decided to talk later. "And don't worry, there's no poison in the food. I don't have to use poison to kill you."

Ayn stared at Lucifer, but she didn't pick up the plate. 

"Don't think I'll come after you to make you eat. I don't actually care if you live or die. So eat or not, it doesn't matter. I can take another person from your APF if you die. It'll just be a little more effort," Lucifer told Ayn as he walked over to the table. 

He picked up one of the two plates and walked back to his chair. Sitting on the chair, he started eating. 

Ayn sat silently for the next few minutes, still not speaking.

Growl!

His stomach again made noise as if asking for food. Frustrated, she picked up the second plate before she walked back to the bed as she started eating. 

Lucifer felt like laughing at the sight of her giving up in front of hunger. But he also understood, hunger was mighty. The first person he killed was because he wanted food. 

Food could make anyone do anything, it seemed. It didn't matter if it was a ten year old kid or the mighty leader of APF Beta Squad. 

...

While Lucifer and Ayn were eating, Cassius was outside, practicing. 

The maid came to inform him that the food was ready. It was only then that he stopped and walked back inside the mansion to eat. 

... 

Lucifer finished eating as he was fast. While Ayn was halfway done, he had already placed the empty plate back.

He then walked over to the shelf where he had kept the box of chocolate.

He walked back to the chair with the box of chocolate and opened the box to reveal the delicious chocolate, which was the most expensive one he could find in the shop. It was also the same that his father used to bring for him. 

He was given one piece after eating dinner. 

He picked up a small piece of chocolate that seemed to be filled with his memories and placed that piece inside his mouth, letting the chocolate melt inside. 

He was eating it after thirteen years, but that taste still seemed to be the same as he remembered.

"Some things remain the same even after so long while other things change so much that they can't even be recognized. This world is pretty funny, won't you say?" he asked Ayn, who was still eating.

"Things always change, especially people. Just look at yourself. You were the son of such great people and look at what you're doing now?" Ayn retorted. 

"Hahaha, you know. You're pretty lucky. If you had said that when I was ten, your ashes would have been lying on that bed," Lucifer told Ayn as he didn't take offense. 

Previously, he always used to get offended when someone mentioned his parents, but he was different now.

"But you're right. People change. The world forces them to change, sometimes against their wishes," he said. His disappointment in the world was evident. 

"What doesn't change is the devil inside our hearts. You hide that devil while pretending to be righteous while I embrace my inner demon," he continued as he closed the box again.
