Chapter 337 - 337: Gift
"I'll do that," Drak agreed.
"That's good. I also want to stop all incoming and outgoing communication in the Capital City at my command. Can you do that?" Lucifer further asked Drak.
"That will be hard, but I think I can crash their communication," Drak affirmed.
"That'll be perfect then. You're responsible for doing the two things. Now about the most important thing. Kellian and Yaliza... I want you two to..."
....
After the planning was completed, it was decided that everyone was going to leave tonight for the Capital City. There was to be no delay.
Everyone left the meeting room, with Lucifer leaving last.
Leaving the room, Lucifer noticed a group standing at the doors.
"Veracity, you're here," he said, smiling.
"Congrats, I suppose. You actually did it," Veracity said, smiling.
"Not yet. There's still a long way to go," Lucifer replied.
" And what are you doing here, Henny?" he further asked, noticing another man there.
It seemed to be a scientist in white robes who was standing with a silver suitcase in his hand.
Lucifer immediately recognized him as the person he had seen before. It was the same bearded man who he met at the Uprising base when he was there.
He was the man who had given Lucifer the description of the battle gear last time. He was also the man who worked as a researcher at the Uprising Base.
" Are you here to join the battle? We might need you more in the lab though," Lucifer said, thinking that this guy was here to join the battle.
He didn't even know if Henny could fight or what powers he had, but what he did know was that they couldn't afford to lose this guy since he was an important person in the research department.
"Don't worry; I'm not here to fight. I'm here for something else," Henny answered. "Can we talk inside?"
"Sure." Lucifer walked back inside the room with Henny. Kellian and a few others also stepped inside.
"So, what is it about?" Lucifer inquired as he sat on a chair.
"A few things. First of all, congratulations for taking over the APF," Henny said, congratulating Lucifer. "And secondly, I'm here to give you something."
"Give me something? What?" Lucifer asked, wondering what it was.
Henny placed the chunky silver briefcase on the table and slid it towards Lucifer.
"The code is Four Two Zero Seven. You should open and see for yourself," he let out, smiling.
Lucifer used the code which was given to him by Henny.
Click!
With a click sound, the briefcase was unlocked. Lucifer slowly opened it, wondering what could be inside.
"Hmm? Clothes?" As he opened the briefcase, he was able to see a set of clothes inside.
"Not ordinary clothes. A full set made, especially for you with Cardigan Particles. I don't know what happened to the last pants we gave you, but this is a complete set. It'll cover most of your body, and we even tried to make it somewhat modern looking," Henny said, smiling.
"Go on and try it."
Lucifer picked up the article of clothing, which happened to be on top. It seemed like a darker shade of pants.
Nothing seemed extraordinary about them, but they were lighter than anything he ever saw.
Moreover, he had already used something made from Cardigan Particles in the past. He knew how special these things were, despite looking so ordinary.
He placed the pants on the side and picked up the next article of clothing, which seemed like a coat, looking slightly unique.
As Lucifer was looking at this coat from the back, he could see a dual tone. It had a lighter shade of Violet in the lower part and a darker shade of Violet near the shoulder portion.
A few Golden Patterns were also visible on the coat, which seemed like a mix between a normal coat and an overcoat.
He turned the coat to the front to be amused.
"It looks much better from the front than from the back. Not bad," he commented as he noticed the front.
The gold pattern which was on the back was even more prominent on the front, making the design look more thought-out.
There was also a shirt under everything in the bag, which also seemed to be similar. There was also a vest in the bag.
Lucifer kept putting everything to the side as he continued checking everything that was in the bag.
It was only in the end when he found something which really made him happy. There was a pair of black gloves. He instantly understood what they were.
Without waiting, he took off his old gloves and wore the new one.
"Since you're going on a battle, I thought it was a good idea to bring your battle gear here personally. As Kellian told me about everything, I immediately left," Henny said.
"I appreciate it. You came at the right time," Lucifer commented.
"I'll get dressed in these. All of you wait outside," Lucifer commanded others.
Everyone vacated the room as per his command. It was only then that Lucifer took off the old clothes and wore his battle gear.
As he finished wearing the clothes, he tried stretching his body to test the comfort of these clothes.
It did feel odd to wear clothes that were so light, but other than that; there was nothing strange. They were pretty comfortable.
This time, however, he didn't test the clothes by hurting himself since he was sure that the clothes worked as Henny described.
Next, he wore the special pair of shoes, which were also made in the Uprising Lab.
As he finished preparing, he kept the other items, including the old gloves, in the silver briefcase again.
He left the room to meet the others.
"You… look good," Alicia commented as she saw Lucifer in new clothes.
"I agree," Veracity chimed in.
"Thank you," Lucifer let out casually before he shifted his attention to Henny. "Can you make a battle gear for Cassius as well?"
"Cassius? Who?" Henny inquired, confused. He didn't know anyone by the name of Cassius.
"Him." Lucifer pointed towards Cassius.
"We can make it, but it'll take at least a few days. It can't be prepared before your time to leave," Henny explained.
"If I had known before, maybe I would have been able to make one more. But he'll have to fight without battle gear for now."
"I understand that. Just keep his battle gear ready in any case. It doesn't matter how long it takes. It can be something for the future," Lucifer said, not seeming to be in a hurry.
