Chapter 284: The Truth

Tristan kept looking at Cassius while licking his lips. He was pretty excited as he noticed the sword of Cassius. It was easy to guess that Cassius was the swordsman friend of Lucifer that he was interested in. 

"Tristan, take a seat too," Kellian tapped the shoulders of Tristan before he pulled him to the nearby table, which was beside the current table. 

​​

Tristan nodded as he followed Kellian and Yaliza while sitting down. 

Alicia also sat with the three of them.

Lucifer, on the other hand, was surprised as he noticed Alicia. That girl came with the top members of Variant Uprising, so it was clear that she had high importance in the Uprising as well. 

But he didn't remember seeing her ever before. Moreover, there was just something about the girl that he found different. He wondered who the girl was. 

Cassius was also focused on Tristan, noticing the Katana in his hand. It was evident that Tristan was also a swordsman and evidently a strong one. 

" How have I been? I suppose I can't complain. Still alive so far," Lucifer replied calmly to the question of Raia. 

"That's good. That's all that matters," Raia said, smiling. 

The door of the Cafe opened as a red-haired woman stepped inside. She walked in the direction of Lucifer and sat on the table right behind him with her back facing them. 

"A black coffee for me!" the woman ordered. 

"Ah, Vega, this place is a bit noisy. Can you help clear it up?" Raia asked Vega, frowning. 

At first, he didn't bother with making this place empty, but now that he found it noisy, he decided to make sure that the Cafe only had them and no other customers. 

"It's fine; let them stay. A small amount of noise can't be worse than the time and effort that will be wasted in getting people to leave. I don't prefer that disturbance," Lucifer chimed in, stopping Vega.

Vega glanced at Raia, wondering what he should do. Both sides wanted different things.

"If that's what he wants, let others stay," Raia agreed and stopped Vega, who again sat down.

"So, Lucifer. I heard you wanted me to come to bring you back. Here I am. As we said before, you're a part of our family, and we won't leave you behind. So, shall we go back home?" Raia asked Lucifer, getting straight to the point. 

"There's no hurry. You just came here, after all. Why don't you order something first?" Lucifer asked, not leaving so fast. "In any case, I want to talk to you about something as well, so it'll take time."

Raia rubbed his chin, curious about what Lucifer wanted to talk about, but he nodded. 

He also ordered coffee for himself and for others. 

The coffee was first served to Veracity, who was sitting behind Lucifer in disguise. After her, Raia and the others were served. 

"You aren't drinking?" Raia asked Lucifer. 

"I drank before you came," Lucifer answered. "By the way, I'm curious. Who is that girl behind you?" 

"Her? Alicia, come here," Raia said, calling the girl. 

The girl stood up and came before Raia. 

"Let me introduce the two of you. Alicia, he is Lucifer. The boy I told you about. He's a really special member of our family and the son of my close friends," Raia said, introducing Lucifer to Alicia. 

"And Lucifer, she is Alicia. She is the daughter of Vega," he added while introducing Alicia to Lucifer. 

As Raia spoke, Veracity also said, "Can I get more sugar!"

It was a signal that Raia was lying, which made Lucifer intrigued. So she wasn't Vega's daughter? Why was Raia lying about this? Is this some scheme?

Alicia reached out her hand to shake Lucifer's hands. "Hello Lucifer. I heard a lot about you. It's nice to meet you finally."

Lucifer didn't reach out his hand; instead, he looked at Raia. He didn't want to interact with Alicia. 

"His daughter? I didn't know he had a daughter," Lucifer muttered, frowning. At the same time, the waiter provided more sugar to Veracity. 

"That's right. You two didn't meet when you were at the base.  You would have met if you had come back from Orion Beach, but unfortunately, some unexpected events took place at that time. I'm really sorry to know what had happened that day," Raia explained, sighing. 

Alicia retreated her hand, slightly upset as she was ignored. She didn't appreciate Lucifer's gesture.

"I suppose Caen is dead too, or did you find him?" Lucifer asked, not even glancing at Alicia. 

"He should be dead, we believe. We didn't find him after that," Raia explained. 

He looked at Alicia as he continued, "Don't misunderstand him. He has always been like that. He doesn't like someone touching him. You can sit."

Alicia nodded as she walked back to her seat, staring at Lucifer before leaving. 

"That reminds me, we also have another new person here. Is this your swordsman friend that killed the APF members?" Raia asked Lucifer, glancing at Cassius. 

"I guess you can say that," Lucifer replied. 

"Interesting. He must be strong as well. Where is he from?" Raia inquired. 

"He is an orphan that I found in Elisium. So he doesn't have a home," Lucifer said, lying. He didn't want to give Cassius's real identity. 

" That's fine. We can be his family too. He won't be an orphan anymore. Bring him with us too," Raia nodded as he took another sip of his coffee, finishing it. 

"Of course, he would come with me. But before I come with you, I also want to ask you one last thing," Lucifer said, staring in the eyes of Raia. 

"Sure. Ask anything," Raia responded instantly. 

"Did you have a hand in my parents' death?" Lucifer asked straight away, getting to the question he was waiting for. 

"In your parents' death? What makes you think that? I wasn't involved in his death," Raia replied innocently. 

Just as he finished speaking, Veracity gently tapped her table with a spoon. The sound was so light that not many people heard it other than Lucifer. 

It was another signal signifying that Raia was lying. 

As Lucifer heard the signal, his fists clenched. Fortunately, they were under the table, so no one saw it. 

But it was evident that Raia was involved in his parents' death. The thing he didn't want to be true turned out to be true in the end. 

"Is that so? So Varant should be involved, right?" Lucifer asked. 

"That's right. I'm sure he was involved," Raia said as he nodded.
