Chapter 283 - 283: Meeting Raia

There was also regret on Raia’s face that Alicia didn’t have any of Lucifer’s overpowered abilities. Her own abilities weren’t bad either, but they were just not at the same level as him.

Moreover, he couldn’t help her absorb Lucifer’s powers now either, as it was too late.

According to the parts of Rao’s diary that they did understand, it was said that only the awakened genes of Variants who were younger than ten years old worked.

Apparently, Doctor Rao had tested with the genes of Variants that had awakened long ago and were older than ten, but Alicia’s body rejected the genes.

After much testing, he found out that her body only absorbed the awakened genes of Variants that were younger than ten.

As Raia knew about this, he was slightly disappointed. He would have preferred Alicia having Lucifer’s healing, lightning, decay, and super strength as well, but there was no way now. Both of them were destined to be different.

’Fortunately, both of them will work for me. So it doesn’t matter,’ he ultimately thought as he shook his head.

The helicopter of Variant Uprising flew through the desert, moving from city to city without resting to get to Kensington.

....

Lucifer was lying on the couch, thinking about tomorrow. It was going to be the day when he got the answers he most desperately needed.

What were the answers going to be? Was Raia really responsible? He had no idea what to expect at this point. He had prepared for both scenarios, no matter what his answer was.

Cassius was also sitting in his bed, looking at his sword. He had expected a possible battle, and he couldn’t help but wonder how many innocent people were going to die. He found himself very conflicted.

There were many people who were lost in deep thoughts tonight, including Riali, who was wondering who could have sent him the letter and if it was a trap?

Everyone eventually fell asleep, having different expectations for the day that was to come.

...

As the long-awaited day arrived with the first ray of sun falling over the city, Lucifer opened his eyes.

He went to everyone’s room to wake them up and to tell them to stay ready while he also went to take a shower.

Within an hour, everyone was ready and standing at the entrance of the mansion, prepared to leave.

Cassius was dressed in a black robe, carrying his heavy sword with him.

Veracity was dressed in her usual clothes, but she had worn a red wig which was making her look like a different person altogether.

She was also wearing circular reading glasses.

As for Lucifer, he was dressed in all white. There were no weapons in his hand, and he wasn’t hiding his eyes either.

"You all know what to do, right?" Lucifer asked once again to make sure.

"I do," Cassius and Veracity replied at the same time.

"That’s good. Let’s leave then. I called Raia to meet at ten. He probably would be on time. We need to get there before him,"

Lucifer stepped inside the yellow car. Veracity sat on the passenger seat. As for Cassius, he sat in a different car.

Lucifer started his car first, closely followed by Cassius.

Both the cars left the Estate Property, going to the central part of Kensington city.

"You learned pretty fast. I’m surprised," Veracity commented on Lucifer’s driving.

She knew that he didn’t know a single thing about driving until a few days ago, and now he was driving like he was a pro at it.

"It’s not that hard, actually. The only reason I didn’t know before was that I didn’t feel the need to learn," Lucifer replied.

As it was seven in the morning, the roads were pretty empty, making it even easier.

The drive didn’t last for long as they soon reached their destination.

Lucifer stopped the car about a hundred meters away from the Windy Cafe.

He stepped out of the car and walked to the cafe, looking around. Fortunately, he didn’t find anyone watching him.

Cassius also stopped his car behind the yellow car as he stepped out and followed Lucifer. Only Veracity was sitting in the car, looking at her wristwatch.

She was told to come at a specific time.

Cassius and Lucifer stepped inside the cafe, which had just opened. This place was completely empty at the moment, except for the staff that worked here.

The staff was surprised to see Cassius, who was carrying a sword. Seeing him sit with Lucifer, they sighed in relief. Some had genuinely thought that they were here to rob them.

"Bring me a Dark Coffee," Cassius ordered, raising his right hand.

As for Lucifer, he didn’t drink coffee, so he didn’t order.

A cup of coffee was served right away.

"This is going to be a long wait," Cassius said as he picked up the cup of coffee and started drinking.

"Yeah. There are still three hours left. But it was also necessary to come in advance," Lucifer replied.

Time kept trickling away as an hour passed. The cafe was slightly more crowded, but the table where Cassius sat with Lucifer was still empty. No one dared to sit there after seeing his big sword.

Cassius had finished two cups of coffee in the last hour.

Another hour passed away as the place became crowded. Almost all seats were filled except the table where Cassius was sitting.

"One more hour. How are you feeling?" Cassius asked Lucifer.

"No idea. I prefer to not feel this close to the end. I don’t want to have second thoughts," Lucifer replied.

Time kept passing as the final moment drew closer. Only eight minutes were left in ten when a small group stopped at the entrance of the cafe.

Veracity was sitting in his car, having a straight view of the Cafe entrance.

As she saw the group of people, she muttered, "They’re here."

The small group had six people. Raia was standing in the lead, followed by Vega, Kellian, Yaliza, Tristan, and Alicia.

Raia pushed the door of the cafe and stepped inside.

The cafe was half empty by now as many seats were empty. Roaming his gaze inside the Cafe, Raia soon found Lucifer.

Smiling, he approached Lucifer.

" It’s been so long, hasn’t it? How are you, young man?" Raia asked Lucifer as he sat down.

The rectangular table around which Lucifer was sitting had four chairs, two on each side. On the left side, Lucifer and Cassius were seated, while the right side was occupied by Raia and Vega.

While everyone’s attention was on Lucifer, Tristan’s eyes rested on Cassius, who had the heavy sword on his lap.
