"I know about your decay. But you should also know about me. I can kill you faster than you can decay the Barrier," Lucifer lazily said. "Look around you."
Clarisse looked around her, noticing multiple lightning bolts keeping an aim at her, waiting to stab her at one mistake.
She didn't know that Lucifer was only bluffing. There was no way he was ever going to hurt her. He just wanted them to calm down. If fear was what it took, then it was what he was going to use.
"You want me to ask for forgiveness after what he did?" Clarisse yelled.
"As I said, stop being a kid. You think you didn't do anything? How many innocents would have died just because you couldn't control your anger?" Lucifer asked.
"We were simply here to look for a person. After buying some clothes, we were coming out. He was slightly excited and didn't look around, but don't tell me you couldn't see either?"
"Even after that, he apologized, and still you hit him to destroy his new clothes? That was sane of you? Not only that, you attacked me as well?"
"If I weren't a Variant, I would've been dead after that attack! At least some of my bones would have been broken!"
"On the other hand, if I was a little bit more inpatient, I could've easily killed you a thousand times by now! Just because you have strength, stop being so arrogant if you don't have backup options!"
"I-" Clarisse didn't know how to reply. She was being scolded, but she couldn't find any lies in what Lucifer had said.
"And you." Lucifer looked back at Zale. "You shouldn't have attacked her with lightning. What if she was hurt? You can't imagine how bad it would've been!"
"She is an ignorant girl who is a little impatient. But you should've been the smart one? Do you think you were the smart one?" he asked.
"I-i am sorry. You are right. I lost the sight," Zale replied.
"Don't tell me. Tell her," Lucifer said, smiling.
Zale glanced at Clarisse in another prison sphere. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have acted so rashly. I should've just accepted my mistake and dropped the matter. And I'm sorry for attacking you."
"But we truly aren't bad people. I don't usually do it. I don't know what happened today. I'm really sorry."
Zale respectfully apologized.
Clarisse stared at Zale. She knew she also needed to apologize, but she had never apologized to anyone. It was her first time.
"I..."
"It's alright. You don't have to say it. I'll ask him to free you. I'm sorry once again." Zale turned to Lucifer. "I think we both understand our mistakes. Can you let her out at least?"
"You want her out before you?" Lucifer asked, smiling.
'Now that's what the person I knew would have done. I might be able to salvage the situation after all.'
"Yeah. It was more of my mistake. She shouldn't be suffering for my mistake," Zale said, sighing.
Lucifer could see a surprised shine in the eyes of Clarisse. On the inside, he was pretty happy.
He had a feeling that Zale's words were a masterstroke. Maybe this bad meeting could actually be ended in a positive tone.

"If you say so." He removed the barrier from both Clarisse and Zale.
Clarisse opened her lips to say something, but she still couldn't. She turned around to leave.
After taking two steps, she stopped. She looked back. "I am sorry as well. I misunderstood you. Sorry for spoiling your clothes. I'll buy you new ones. Come with me."
"I should also do the same because I ruined your clothes. Let me buy you something as well," Zale said, walking with Clarisse towards the clothing shop at the entrance of which it all started.
Standing in the back, Lucifer just appreciated the view of seeing his father and mother together. It was such a lovely sight to see them together again after so long.
He also walked inside the shop, unaware that someone was keeping an eye on him in the distance.
A dark figure was standing on a distant building, observing Lucifer. "An interesting person indeed. He could neutralize Clarisse so easily."
"But he's also someone who can spoil my plans. I suppose I will need to take care of him fast. But I can't be hasty... He doesn't seem like an ordinary Warlock."
"Barrier, wind, lightning, and something that makes his body stronger. He wasn't hurt even after clashing on the wall. Amusing indeed..."
The figure disappeared.
....
Back in the real world, Cassius had informed Xaen that he needed him in Zeston Capital. He didn't tell Xaen why he needed him but only said that it was something urgent.
He also reminded Xaen that no one could know about this, especially his family. He asked Xaen to come alone.
Moreover, without taking a long time to think, Xaen had agreed to come to him.
At the moment, Xaen had already reached Zeston Capital which was technically entirely sealed.
In Lucifer's absence, Uprising had decided to not take the risk. They had sealed the Capital. No one was allowed to come in or leave the city without their permission.
In the last few days, Xaen's plane was the only plane that landed at the airport where hundreds of planes used to land daily.
Cassius personally went to welcome Xaen, leaving Salazar to protect Lucifer. Amelia didn't come with him either. She remained with Lucifer.
Instead, it was Assassination Emperor Yaliza who had arrived with Cassius. They were accompanied by Arthur.
"I am here. So, tell me. What did you need from me?" Xaen asked. "What help did you need?"
"It's not me who needs your help," Cassius replied. "But it's another of your students.
"You mean Alex? I mean Lucifer? What happened to him?" Xaen asked, frowning. "If you had told me before, I would've brought the old man with me as well. I had to leave him to protect the academy in my absence."
"He would be so angry to find out that his grandson was in danger and that he wasn't informed," Xaen scratched the back of his head. "Please tell me that he's safe."
"He... I'm not sure how to describe it. He is sick. And we believe only you can help him," Cassius replied.
"What happened to him?" Xaen asked, following Cassius out of the airport.
"We believe he has absorbed an ability. And that ability is conflicting with his other ability because it's only after he absorbed the power that he lost consciousness. It has been days, and he hasn't woken up!"
"Absorbing an ability?" Xaen asked, frowning.
