Chapter 329 - 329: I'm Going To Take Over The Capital
"Fine. I'll listen. But first, tell me something? Did you really kill Varant?" He asked, frowning.
"Yeah. That guy should be in hell already by now," Lucifer replied casually.
" What are you going to do in a few days? And what help do you want from me?" Uzuki asked as he patted his clothes.
"I'm going to take over the Capital City in a few days. And I need more people to help me. As for you, you'll be one of them," Lucifer explained.
"And what will I get in exchange?" Uzuki inquired.
"You'll get your life. Because if you don't help me, you're not getting out of here," Lucifer responded.
"That's a threat, isn't it?" Uzuki asked.
"It is whatever you take it to be. If you want to perceive it as a threat, then it's a threat. If you want to perceive it as the answer to your question, then it's that," Lucifer answered.
" What do you think are your chances of successfully taking over this nation?" Uzuki inquired.
" A hundred percent," Lucifer replied without taking a single minute to think about it.
"You seem confident in your abilities," Uzuki commented.
"I most certainly am," Lucifer replied.
"If you're so confident, then why do you need my help?" Uzuki asked.
"Because I want to do it fast. With more people, it'll be faster for me," Lucifer replied.
As Uzuki got all the answers he nodded as he folded his arms.
"Fine. I'll help you," he agreed, breaking the silence that lasted for a few minutes. "But I have a condition of my own. I want something more from you."
"What do you want?" Lucifer asked, curious.
"I want a promise from you," Uzuki said.
"What promise?"
"A promise that you will not stop me, no matter what I do? I'll do the tasks you give me, but other than that, I can do anything. Moreover, you won't tell my other self about it. I'm sure you can think of an excuse to give him to keep him with you," Uzuki answered.
"Alright. I accept that. I'll deal with him properly. He won't know about you," Lucifer said, agreeing to the demand. "Anything else?"
"That's it for now. In any case, I don't have a family. So I might as well join you all. I can live a lavish life after you all take over. It's certainly good enough already," Uzuki replied, smiling.
"And I can kill all those who annoy me. With you, I will be free. I won't have to worry about being caught by someone like Varant for killing a person. As for the last and most important reason, it's because it sounds fun," he added as he smirked.
"Good. From now on, you're working for us," Lucifer agreed. "Come with us."
He left the cell and advanced towards the medical facility to get Caen treated.
As he walked towards the facility, he started inquiring more about Uzuki.
"So, what's the deal with your split personality? Why don't you want your other side to know the truth?"
" Because that guy is pathetically weak. And a bit too nice. At the smallest of conflicts, his head starts aching. That's when I also start feeling pain. That's when I take over. If you tell him the truth, of course, his headache will return. And I don't like that," Uzuki answered.
"That's why I've been keeping it a secret from him. Whenever he went to a doctor, I appeared and forced the doctor to lie as well. Even in the bar, those bastards were bullying him. So I took over and slaughtered them all. It was fun actually," he added as he started laughing.
"But that's when Varant came with his team. I fought them as well, but I couldn't win. In the end, I was overwhelmed. And I ended up here," he continued.
"Then why did you let your other side take over? I mean, didn't you think he would be shocked to find himself in prison?" Lucifer inquired.
"I had no choice regarding that. Actually, I can't be the leading personality forever. He is the main. I came later. So even if I want, I can't be here for more than twelve hours straight. When I had to go back, he came here and found out that he was in prison," Uzuki explained.
"And he thought he was innocent and wrongfully kept here. I understand the whole thing now." Lucifer nodded. "So after twelve hours, you need to go back."
"I can go back before as well, but when I come, I feel like spending more time here. So I often take the rest of the day at least. In the night, I go back to the room and return," Uzuki answered.
"And how long before you can come back again?" Lucifer inquired. "I mean, you're forced back after twelve hours. How long does it take before you can come back again? I don't think it's instant, is it?"
"It's not. I can't come back before at least twenty minutes, but I like to let him have fun too. So I don't return too fast usually unless it's necessary," Uzuki answered.
"Twenty minutes, huh. So your entry needs to be timed right if we don't want your other side to be in the middle of the warzone," Lucifer commented.
"That's right. Because I won't let that guy join the fight. If it's time for him to come, I'll bail on you all, no matter how important the battle might be. I don't want to be in the middle of a battle only for me to be forced back and for him to be killed," Uzuki affirmed.
"I'll keep that in mind. He won't be in danger," Lucifer agreed.
"That's good. Anyway, do you have a plan ready to attack the city?" Uzuki inquired.
"Not yet. We still need more information about it. A plan should be prepared tomorrow," Lucifer responded.
" I'm going to go back in that case. I'll only be wasting time by staying here. Make sure to give my other self a good excuse. I'll return tomorrow to hear your whole plan," Uzuki let out abruptly.
"Wait, didn't you say-"
"Huh? How did I get here?" Uzuki suddenly asked, seemingly completely different.
There was no intimidating aura around him. He looked like a youngster that didn't know where he was.
Lucifer couldn't help but sigh. That guy really went back.
"You were sleepwalking. You were right about it. We saw it for ourselves now," he told Uzuki.
"Also, we realized that you were right about something else as well. You were actually innocent. It was a case of mistaken identity. You're not a prisoner now."
