he gazed at Abaddon."I don’t care what rank my demon is; I need a proper explanation," Tristin said as he sat upright."Very well then, I will answer the question you are curious about. First, the devil king can make it appear as though the selection process never happened," Abaddon replied. Everyone gasped with their eyes wide open."On top of that, the devil king can let the former devil candidate keep their wings and arrows," Abaddon added."Are you serious?! That means I can enjoy the easy life forever!" Lily was very excited to hear that."Another thing, the devil king has access to all the purple and red arrows without any limit whatsoever on the usage. The bottom line, control over humans is absolute; humanity itself can be ended if the devil king wants to do that. That is the power of the devil king," Abaddon explained calmly."Are you serious? End humanity?" Trevor asked with his mouth wide open. He was shocked to hear that the devil king could do such things."No way," Rac
"I am not attached to this world, and you guys want to live a happy life; I would change the world so you guys would be able to. But we all know that’s never going to happen; the other candidates won’t agree to make me the devil king. I would be tempted to create a world where those who truly want to die will have that option, and I would want to reach out and help them," Tristin explained calmly with a sad look on his face."I would be fine with that; people who want to die must have a good reason, but I understand how that feels. Now promise me you won’t take away my red arrow when you become the devil king, okay?" Lily stated with a warm smile. She wanted to endorse Tristin into becoming the devil king just so she could be able to keep her red arrows and wings."That’s all you care about?" Tristin asked, looking at Lily. She nodded her head in agreement."Well, I don’t care about that," Tristin said softly."Hold on! We can’t let anyone keep their arrows or help people kill themsel
of equipment: beakers, stoves, test tubes, and many more. The lab was huge and had many cabinets and cupboards inside.‘Why doesn’t anyone realize how absurd my lectures are? I guess the answer is simple; they assume it was amazing and I must be brilliant because I’m the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel prize in both physics and literature’ Ricky thought.His demon Mazakeen hovered behind him; the demon appeared to be very tall; he had four horns, two large ones protruding from the middle of his head, while the remaining two were on his forehead; the demon had black feather-like hair that covered his eyes and face; and three pairs of wings, one set protruding from his back, another set protruding from his buttocks, and the final set protruding from his calves. Mazakeen was a hideous and scary-looking demon."I can see that you are stalling; what is it that you are thinking about? The red and purple arrows again?" Mazakeen asked."No, I’m thinking about meat or fish," Ricky an
"Is the thought of becoming the devil king starting to scare you?" Lily inquired in a teasing tone."Of course not," he answered.******"I have been given wings and a red arrow; I should go along with you, Mrs. Brianna," Racheal said, staring at Brianna."It’s better if you focus on your job as a federal agent," Brianna replied with a smirk. She could tell that Racheal was still concerned about her because of the red arrow she shot her with."She’s right, Racheal; let's let these five handle it; we need to prepare for the worst-case scenario; we don’t want a repeat of what happened with Kevin Greene and his family," Henry said calmly from behind Racheal."You two need to follow Henry and Racheal’s instructions," Trevor said, staring at Mitch and Andrew."We understand; good luck to all of you," Mitch replied."Mr. Henry and Mrs. Racheal, we want to thank you for everything," Trevor said with a warm smile."I realize that if someone finally becomes the devil king, whether it’s Tristin
"You are the demon of destruction, so what is it you are planning? What is your candidate's goal?" Trevor asked in a rumbling tone."I see no reason to tell you that. You can ask my partner that when you meet with him by yourself," Mazakeen answered calmly."Hey, why don’t we just do it? Sharing our thoughts with each other wouldn’t be a bad thing, and it sounds kind of fun; it could be just like a class presentation," Stanley said with a bright smile."Okay, we will share our thoughts on what we are going to do once we become the devil king, but we have to wait for the other four devil candidates to join us before we do it," Trevor replied in a rumbling tone as he turned to look at Mazakeen."So, what do you think about that?" He asked."Alright, I will wait for the other candidates to come, but I will give you guys 30 minutes for the other candidates to get here, but if they don’t, five of you will share your thoughts, and after that I will leave," Mazakeen answered."OK, let’s wait
"That’s the self-defense force!" A random man screamed with his eyes wide open."This can’t be good; let’s all get out of here!" A random man screamed. Everyone started running away from the scene.*************Meanwhile, Ricky was sitting behind a computer desk in the physics lab, watching a live feed of what was going on in the city."This makes no sense; what’s the government doing?" Ricky said as he was continuously tapping his leg on the ground. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number that he had saved with prime minister."Hello," A manly voice answered from the other end of the call."Minister Victor, please don’t do anything that would injure the devil candidates or put their lives at risk," Ricky said."We are attempting to capture them now in order to protect the safety of the people; the helicopters were not dispatched to attack them, only to secure them. Don’t tell me you believe in all this devil king selection nonsense, professor," he replied."What’s happening r
"That won't be necessary, in fact, I prefer we do this in public; I want t world to understand what's happening right now. What I am about to say next is only a theory of mine, but I have given it quite a bit of thought and I believe it to be correct. Judge for yourself whether or not you agree."First of I have to warn you guys, you are missing something very important, you might even say you are being deceived in this whole process and interestingly Burnaman seem to have understood it," Ricky explained as he hovered in front of the nine-devil candidates. Drones hovered around all of them."Deceived by who?" Tristin inquired with his eyes wide open."What are you talking about?" Lily asked with her eyes wide open."I know this may come as a shock, but Burnaman didn’t believe in the devil king," Ricky answered in a cold tone."Are you saying that the devil king doesn’t exist?" Trevor asked with his eyes wide open."You misunderstand; he does now, but he's not the devil the world think
There may be a demon among the other 20 who will interfere," Ricky said in a calm tone."Hmmm," Mazakeen replied, hovering in front of Ricky’s desk."And what would that demon's special power be?" Ricky inquired."Hmm," Mazakeen mumbled.Then Ricky snapped back to reality. Mazakeen's response was "hmmm," which meant "I'm not sure, so which of the demons is it?" the special rank demon who appears to know nothing or another demon who actually knows hell’s secrets, either way…’ Trevor snapped Ricky out of his thoughts."You are right; I do think it’s strange to be choosing a devil king from amongst humans; however, that’s a secondary concern, and saying that the devil doesn’t exist at all is reckless," Trevor stated. He has considered the thought about the devil being a fake entity, but he also still doesn’t believe the professor’s theory because he knows that everything they are experiencing with the arrows and the wings is real. But he was still curious to know how the professor came u
"Yeah, you do need answers," Lucifer said softly.**********The following morning,Trevor arrived in front of Ezekiel’s apartment door. This is it, he gulped as he pushed the doorbell at the side of the door. He had called Ezekiel and told him that he wanted to come over and visit him, which Ezekiel agreed to.Suddenly, Ezekiel opened the front door with a bright smile. "Trevor! It’s you; welcome to my apartment," Ezekiel shook his hand."Come on in," Ezekiel said as he turned around and attempted to walk inside.Seeing that he had turned around, Trevor saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab Ezekiel. He swiftly walked closer to him as he wrapped his arm around Ezekiel’s neck as he held him tightly, and they both fell to the ground with Trevor still holding him tightly."What is wrong with you?! Why are you holding me?" Ezekiel asked under his breath; he couldn’t speak properly."I know who you are, Ezekiel, you are an angel of a special ranking, and you have been the one behind al
"What happened, babe? Why is your face like that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow."It’s nothing," he responded softly."Did something happen during your walk?" She inquired."Nothing happened; I need some alone time for now, babe," he responded as he stood and walked towards the balcony.With his reaction, Brianna could tell that something was bothering him, but she didn’t want to add to his worries, so she stood up and went into the bedroom.Trevor arrived at the balcony; he placed his hand on the iron bar as he gazed in front of him as the cold breeze blew through his hair.So all this while Ezekiel got close to me, he was an angel, and judging from the amount of haloes on his head, he is a special-rank angel. How was he able to hide his wings and halo from me? I mean I saw Jordan’s halos all the time and also saw Uriel’s halo, but why didn’t I see his own or get a clue that he was an angel? Trevor wondered."He probably has a special power that can make him hide his powers from oth
“Oh my, after everything that happened to you, you let the restaurant get away with what happened, you would have gotten damage control for what they have done to you,” Ezekiel said in a surprised tone.“I know that, but I don’t want to get any money from them or try to make things difficult for them. What has happened has happened and it is now in the past,” he replied.Wow, it seems Duke is now out of prison and Trevor doesn’t want to pursue any legal actions against him or the restaurant. It’s either he has a kind heart or he is just stupid. But either way, everything worked together for my good, he thought.“I feel you on that. You know something, you are a very kind-hearted person, if another person were to be in your position, they wouldn’t have let this all go that easily,” Ezekiel said.“Yeah, but I am me and I will handle the situation however I want,” he replied.Why is Ezekiel saying all this? What’s his concern if I don’t want to pursue any legal actions on the incident? I
I can’t tell her the main reason I don’t want to press charges, if I do that, she is going to be worried, if she finds out that the waiter that poured me the water was actually under the influence of a red arrow, she’s not going to be able to rest, he thought.“Babe, I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to complicate the waiter of the restaurant’s life. The waiter might be going through a lot, and my face has already been scarred, suing them will just be unnecessary because it won’t take my face back to normal,” he explained softly.Brianna lowered her gaze as she sighed. “I get where you are coming from,” she muttered.**********Three days later,Trevor just got back home from the hospital after being discharged, he was sitting behind a desk that had a large mirror in front of it. He looked at his face in the mirror, as he touched the bandage on his face. Brianna was standing behind him.“The doctor said you can remove the bandage,” Brianna said in a soft tone.“I know, I’m
**********About three hours later in the hospital ward,Brianna was sitting on a chair at the side of Trevor’s hospital bed. She was holding his left hand while staring at him.“How did all this happen to you, babe?” She asked raising an eyebrow.“I don’t know but the police have arrested the waiter that poured the water on me, and they are currently investigating the accident to know whether it was intentional or not,” he answered.“OK, but I hate seeing you like this, how could something like this happen to you? It’s not fair,” she said in a shaky tone.“Don’t worry babe you don’t have to feel sad; I will be fine with time, everything is going to be fine,” he replied as he rubbed her hand.“You know Trevor, somehow this is your fault, if you hadn’t gone out on that lunch or had been cautious like I told you, this would not have happened to you,” Lucifer said calmly in Trevor’s mind.“Don’t blame me for this, I was cautious, and I never imagined that something like this would happen
"Alright then, I trust you. You will have to wait for me to text you; it might not be tomorrow or next week, but once I text you, just know that you will have to be ready," he said calmly."Of course, I will make sure that I am ready," Duke replied.This is good; I believe that Duke will get the job done, Ezekiel thought.***After Duke had left Ezekiel’s apartment, he went into his bedroom and sat down at the edge of his bed as he took out his cellphone and dialed Trevor’s number. Trevor answered the call."Hey, it’s been a while since I heard from you; how have you been?" Ezekiel asked softly."I have been great; things are good, and how about you? Have you properly understood the city yet?" Trevor inquired with a lot of excitement in his voice."Yes, I have; I have taken the time to explore a few places in the city, and I must say Los Angeles is great.""That’s good to hear," Trevor muttered."I would like to know if you would have the chance to grab lunch with me tomorrow." Ezekie
"It has not been easy, but the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that he had a child with Brianna before dying," Gabriel answered calmly, staring into Dalton’s eyes."Tell me, where is Brianna? She is one of the reasons I even came here today," Gabriel said.Dalton swiftly broke eye contact with him as he lowered his gaze. He didn’t know how he was supposed to tell him that Brianna had moved in with Trevor, the former person she almost married before leaving him for Jordan. Dalton didn't know how he was going to break the news to him, but he knew that even if he tried to avoid the question today, Gabriel would still find out the truth in the future, so he gathered the courage as he raised his head to look at Gabriel."Dalton, tell me, where is she?" Gabriel added."Brianna is currently staying with Trevor, her new boyfriend, and the person she plans on getting married to," Dalton answered."What! How could that be!" Gabriel yelled as he stood up from the couch with a huge frow
**********Meanwhile, in Ezekiel’s apartment, he was sitting behind his desktop computer at the side of his bed with headphones on his head. He was listening to Trevor and Brianna’s conversation. After finding out that Josh had been captured, he stood up and dropped the headphones.I can’t believe Josh was so stupid as to get caught; why can’t he just abandon the truck after selling the stuff inside? He must be a real fool for getting caught. One thing I know for sure is that he is not going to tell the police about me; the red arrow will make sure of that, he thought.He ambled over to his bed and laid down. At least Josh was able to carry out the task I gave him; he was able to sell the properties. It’s going to take a while before Brianna would be able to buy back all the things she has lost, thus she is currently very unhappy, and Trevor would also be sad seeing her unhappy. I will have to give them a few days to regroup before I come up with another plan, he thought.***********
Raymond was sitting behind a table in front of Josh in a dark room that had a white bulb above the table. Josh's hands were in handcuffs on the table, while Raymond’s hands were clasped together on the table. A police officer was standing at Raymond’s right side."First of all, I would like to know why you ran away with the truck in the first place? Didn’t you think of the consequences and that we were going to catch you?" Raymond asked calmly, staring into Josh’s eyes. Raymond has been an investigator for years, so he has seen all types of criminals and has even interrogated them. What he has learned over the years is that all criminals have an origin story.I thought I did everything that the angel told me right; I didn’t think that I was going to get caught this easily, and now this detective wants to know why I did everything, I can’t tell him the truth about why I did what I did; I won’t say anything about the angel; I will just have to come up with a lie, Josh thought."I ran aw
