Chapter 893: Lucifer… expelled and arrested.
The people on the plane weren’t the only ones concerned about his love life. Back at the Uprising Headquarters, there were more people who had the same concern.
Milena was wondering what Lucifer’s answer was going to be. She had proposed to him, but she hadn’t received the answer right away. She had given Lucifer some time to think about it before deciding on anything.
She was still hopeful that he was ultimately going to say yes. She felt that the two of them were right for each other, and she was sure that Lucifer was going to see it someday.
Other than her, Eve was already sure that she and Lucifer were going to be together. They had already spent an intimate moment together, and she didn’t see anyone else that could be worrying for her.
The only person who still hadn’t expressed her feelings was Alicia. Even though she also liked Lucifer, she hadn’t told him about it. She hadn’t even approached him as she was scared of making things worse. She was the most cowardly of them all, and she still hadn’t taken any steps despite being jealous of other ladies.
She had spent most of her childhood, deep asleep, being experimented on. It was just a few years ago that she was freed, and she spent that time with Uprising, only focusing on her training. She hadn’t experienced something like this before.
All three ladies, each with a different personality and a different approach… They all wanted only one thing. And the parents of Lucifer had noticed it. As they saw Lucifer enter the room for the first time and the reaction of the ladies, they understood right then what was happening.
It was Lucifer’s mother who was first to realize as her intuition was better than Zale’s.
This was also why she had directly asked Lucifer which of the three women he liked. Unfortunately for her, Lucifer didn’t know the answer himself, so he found a way out without answering.
Zale could understand the troubles of Lucifer, but instead of being worried, he wanted to laugh out loud. This guy… His problem was that too many ladies liked him. This wasn’t a problem at all. At least he wasn’t as bad as real problems tended to be.

In an unknown place… Maya had gone inside the depth of the sea to find the remnant of the High Ranking Dungeon, which was the last on her search. She had already checked the rest of the Dungeons.
After observing the rubble, she returned to the land. There was a thoughtful look on her face as she brought out a device from her pocket. She pressed a button. “It was as you expected.’
After speaking only a few vague words, she stopped to wait for the response. A heavy voice came from the other side. “Return with Lucifer. It’s time we have a conversation with him.”
Lucifer heard the entire conversation but what stunned him the most was that the voice didn’t seem to belong to Joana. Who was the one commanding Maya? Who had sent him here? It was certainly the voice of a man, but which man, it was unclear. He didn’t remember hearing that voice ever before.
Fortunately, Lucifer knew that Maya was going to return to him now. Whoever this person was, he wanted Lucifer back at the Star Alliance base. That meant she was going to come here to convince him to bring him with her.
Lying on a compact bed, Lucifer smiled. “It’s good. Come to me. Let me know who it is that wants me so I can say no openly. No force can bring me back so soon. I’m yet to recover all the stones that are on this earth. And without that, I’m not going anywhere.”
He tested his trembling palm under his head as he comfortably rested on the bed, thinking about the future plans. He had recovered most of the stones that were present on earth in his searches, except one stone.
As for that one stone that was left, it was in the world of Summons. After receiving that, the only ones that were going to be left were the ones that were in the custody of Xaen, which wasn’t hard either once he returned.
The only immediate problem left were the two generals that were in the World of Summons and Jian… That man who couldn’t die… After every death, he came back stronger, mostly because of the support of the one who stayed in his body. Those three were the toughest opponents left for him, especially now that he didn’t have that excess strength.
That was the only reason he had been delaying going there. He wanted to strengthen himself here as much as he could. He wanted to finish everything because that place was going to be very risky. The Leader of the World of Summons had the sword with the stone, and he also wanted him dead. This journey wasn’t going to be easy at all.
Lost in his thoughts, Lucifer didn’t even realize how time had passed. Before he knew it, the plane was near the landing. Lucifer was informed to get up.
Standing up, he left his cabin.
As soon as he left the cabin, he noticed a weird smile on everyone’s face as they looked towards him.
“Why do you all have that shady smile on your face as if you’ve come up with some sneaky plan?” he asked, frowning.
“Nothing at all.” The united response came.
Lucifer didn’t care much to interrogate further. He just took his seat beside Veracity. “You’ll be staying with me, alright?”
“Another interrogation of yours?” Veracity asked.
“A guest would be coming. It’s that lady from the mall. I want you to be with me to catch her lies. I want to know everything,” Lucifer explained. “You understand?”
“Of course.” The lady nodded. “You want me to stay with you. I’ll stay with you.”

The flight landed on the ground. Everyone was slightly surprised to find a lady outside, waiting for them. It was as if she knew when they were going to land and had arrived here.
The only one who didn’t seem surprised was Lucifer. He already knew about her arrival.
“You’re still here?” Lucifer asked, pretending to be ignorant about her motivation. “Don’t tell me you came to visit the airport.”
“I came here to meet you. I would need you to come with me.”
“Come with you where?”
“Back to the headquarters. Your presence is requested. You are to be arrested and taken as a prisoner!”
“Taken as a prisoner?” Lucifer asked, smiling. He was really curious about how she was going to answer.
