Chapter 276: Scary Game

As Lucifer heard about their security measures, his frown deepened. This was much more difficult than he thought.

He had assumed that there would only be cameras or weapons outside the facility, but this was much more. Not only outside but even on the inside, there were so many defense mechanisms. 

​​

"Why do you guys have lasers even inside your base? And what's the way to disable them?" Lucifer inquired. 

"Why do we have it? It's simple. We have many enemies. There can never be enough defense. We made an effort to secure our base as much as possible, so even if somehow a person stepped inside, he was not going to survive for long," Ayn explained.

"How to disable the lasers? Who controls them?" Lucifer inquired again. He needed to find a way to disable that if he wanted to get inside. 

"Disable them? You can forget about it. The security overwatch team stays in a reinforced room, and only they can control it. But they only report to Varant. They don't take commands from anyone else. So you can't have them disable the security measures," Ayn retorted.

"Don't they ever leave the base?" Lucifer asked, frowning. 

"They don't. And before you even ask, they don't have a family either. Only the ones that don't have emotional weaknesses are selected to work in the security detail. So you can't even use their family members to force them," Ayn explained. 

Lucifer took a deep breath, understanding how hard it was to break inside. Not hard; it seemed even impossible. Only now did he understand why APF was considered secure despite having so many enemies. 

He recalled the battle against Xander and realized that their Warlocks were strong. The Warlocks at the base should only be stronger. But to even get there, he needed to pass through so much. 

"Did you miss anything?" Lucifer asked, frowning. 

"There are many more things that are there. Do you really want to hear about reinforced walls and the minefield outside the base, which is controlled by the security department? Or do you want to hear about missile launchers that target from a distance?" Ayn inquired, smirking. 

"I want to hear about everything. It doesn't matter what you have. I want to know everything," Lucifer responded. 

"Fine. If you want to hear more, then I'll tell you. Just so you realize what a far-fetched dream it is to attack that place," Ayn said confidently as she chuckled. 

She observed the faces of others in the room, noticing that they were frowning too. They had realized that it was an impossible feat already. It was only Lucifer who was yet to understand. 

She started speaking about even more of the things, including the damage-reducing reinforcement in the outer walls of the base to protect against any long range attacks. 

It took her straight twenty minutes to finish her explanation. After finishing up, she stretched her arms as she yawned. "And that's all."

Lucifer glanced at Veracity as he asked, "Did she tell the truth?"

"She did," Veracity answered, nodding. 

Even she seemed surprised as she heard about all these things. She hadn't known that this place was so secure either. It was only now that she realized this. 

Lucifer glanced back at Ayn as he continued, "Alright. That's enough information about the security. Now I have one last question for you."

"What question?" Ayn inquired as she smiled, seemingly relaxed. 

"How did my father die, according to you? Was Varant, APF, or anyone else you know about involved?" Lucifer asked, getting to the question that he had in his mind.

He had already realized the answer to this question though. Even if Varant was involved, he wouldn't have told her. He hadn't told her about killing Lucifer either, let alone Zale. 

"Why would we be involved? We had no hand in it. As for who it was? The answer should be obvious. I believe it was either the Variant Uprising or the monsters," Ayn responded. 

Lucifer didn't react as he stood up, not surprised at her answer. 

"That's all," he said after a long time as he started leaving.

"Can I go now? I think you promised. You got your answers and know how futile your efforts are. Let me go, and you also leave this country never to return."

" Stay hidden in another country and live your life in peace. Because you aren't going to be able to do anything here," Ayn told Lucifer, who seemed to be leaving. 

"Let you leave? Not yet. You're still useful," Lucifer replied, without looking back. "As for how useful, that's to be seen."

Saying that he opened the door. 

Cassius also pushed his body up as he stood up, prepared to leave. 

Veracity was the first one to leave the room. Cassius and Lucifer left together, locking the door behind him. 

...

Lucifer and the rest went to the hall again, where they took their positions. While Lucifer sat on the red velvet couch, Cassius and Ayn took the comfy chairs as they sat facing him. 

"That place is like a fortress, isn't it?" Cassius inquired, shaking his head. 

"Even the security of our Academy wasn't this strict. This is in a different league in itself. I don't think it'll be a good idea to approach that place," Cassius said as he recalled the security details of the Academy, which were said to be strict. 

However, only now did he realize what strict security meant.

"I realize that. Attacking them when they're unprepared seems to be tough," Lucifer said as he kept his head down, lost in thought.

"So, what's the plan now?" Cassius inquired.

"The plan won't change. We'll meet up with Variant Uprising. The only thing which will be different is that we won't attack the base of APF directly," Lucifer replied as he raised his head. 

There was a strange shine in his eyes, as if he had everything figured out. 

"I want Varant, and I can have him even outside. But I need a distraction for the rest of them. And Uprising will be that distraction," he further said as he laid on the couch comfortably. 

"You're playing a really scary game; you know that? Playing with two Warlock Kings..." Veracity reminded Lucifer. " One misstep, and you'll be in deep trouble."

"Two Warlock Kings? Don't worry about it. I'm ready for the consequences. You don't have to fight for me. All I want is for you to be present when I ask him about my father," Lucifer replied as he closed his eyes. "Now leave and let me rest."
