"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
A wave of crimes? And that just how it goes? Are they out of their minds? If people know that there is no one to punish them for their crimes and bad behaviors, the world will be thrown into darkness, Trevor thought."I won’t allow it, and in order to prevent that, I’m willing to become the devil king," Trevor said boldly. Everyone gasped with their eyes wide open as they all shifted their gaze over to Trevor.Hmm, Red has finally found his motivation, Ricky thought.Mordecai flew over to where Trevor was and gazed at him."Are you sure? It’s a big step; I thought you wanted to just find happiness for yourself here in this world?" Mordecai asked. After everything Trevor has said, he never expected Trevor to accept becoming the devil king himself."Red will now become the devil king? Isn’t it too late? No one would agree to such a thing, but I guess Mrs. Lily would," Tristin said softly.Hearing what Tristin said, Lily gritted her teeth and pointed a finger at Tristin. "Hey, I’m willin
"Listen to me, everyone; Stanley Griffin is dead; I have taken his arrows and wings; it’s unfortunate, but under the circumstances, we will have to put our conversation on hold; once the world has responded, we will be able to resume our discussion; farewell," Ricky stated, after which he ended the call."He's the boss now; we only got this because we hung around while he rant about how there is no devil king," Lily said quietly, one hand under her chin."Stanley," Brianna replied softly as she placed both hands on her face and started sobbing. They never thought that another devil candidate would get killed.This is messed up. Stanley was the person who even suggested we all come together and make a decision about the person we want to become the devil king. Now the poor boy is dead, I never thought another devil candidate would die, Trevor thought.*************Meanwhile, at a wooden mansion that was deep inside a thick forest, the mansion belongs to professor Ricky."Stanley proba
"We still don’t understand what happens to people after they die. Since human beings are physical objects in the end, it’s likely we become nothing at all once our bodies turn to dust, but that hasn’t been proven yet. I’m participating in this exercise because I want to know what happens to people when they pass away."If this devil selection process is genuine and, as the devil king, I could learn what happens after death and tell people about it, I would gladly volunteer to become the devil king," Ricky explained calmly as he gazed at Tristin in front of him.Tristin’s mouth and eyes were wide open; he couldn’t believe what the professor was explaining, and he never thought that someone would want to experience death just for the sake of research and hypothesis."Wow, professor, that’s impressive; your thinking is totally different from mine. I hate to admit it, but the idea we experience something other than nothingness after death scares me. Nothingness would mean my suffering end
I think that has become clear,” Abaddon said nonchalantly.“Then this is a pointless struggle, if the creature dies, so do the demons, is this your way of extending your life for as long as possible?” Ricky inquired raising an eyebrow. His gaze was still fixed on Abaddon as he points his purple arrow at Tristin.“Not necessarily through Tristin, the truth is I have high hopes for Trevor Martins,” Abaddon answered softly.“It’s no wonder that you are known as the demon of darkness,” Ricky said as he removed one set of horns from his head and threw them toward Tristin. Tristin caught them and wore them on his head. The horns only contained the purple arrows that Ricky took from Stanley.Ricky shifted his gaze over to Abaddon.“Now tell me, which demon possesses special powers?” Ricky asked in a rumbling tone.“I believe it’s Mordecai,” Abaddon answered bluntly.I knew it, Ricky thought. “What are the special powers?” Ricky inquired.“Mordecai can physically interact with his partner T
"Right," Trevor mumbled as he looked at his right palm and brought out a red arrow.After a moment of silence, he raised his head and gazed at Henry."Now that we got Professor Ricky out of the way, what about the other four devil candidates? Ever since we split up after that incident in Central City, we haven’t spoken to any of them," Trevor said.Henry placed one hand under his chin. "That’s true; they are probably scared to come out in the open and look for us, but I do have all their information; I got their full data from the FBI office, and I have their house address also," Henry stated."That’s great, they were already down with picking a devil king; all we have to do is reach out to them and make sure that they are still on board," Lily replied."Yeah, that’s what we need to do," Brianna added."Still, it’s very dangerous to go out in the city now; everyone knows our real identities now," Trevor said calmly."Yes, but I have an idea of how you guys might be able to go into the
"Yeah, we came looking for you and your twin brother," Brianna muttered. Suddenly a demon appeared behind Darius, it was a special ranking demon named Gaara. He was Darius's demon."Who are these devil candidates?" Gaara asked in a rumbling tone. They couldn’t see Trevor and Brianna’s faces because of the hoodies they were wearing. Trevor and Brianna quickly removed the hoodies from their heads."It’s us, Red and Yellow," Trevor responded."Oh, it’s you guys," Darius said with a pale look on his face.Trevor then realized that Taurus was nowhere to be seen."Where is your brother Taurus?" Trevor asked, raising an eyebrow."Taurus got kidnapped by a group of men that looked like they were federal agents; I couldn’t save him; I went to get us groceries; when I came back, I saw that he was nowhere to be seen; I then looked at our security footage; that’s when I saw that he got kidnapped," Darius answered.Trevor and Brianna both gasped."Oh my gosh, do you know where they took him?" Bria
"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
