Demon!?

Lucifer stood beside Jimmy and peered down at him as he coldly asked, "While I am at it I can at least ask you guys some questions right?"

Jimmy quickly nodded his head and Lucifer continued," Who sent you to kill me a few days ago?"

"..."

Silence.

Lucifer's question caught all the men by surprise, making them unable to immediately respond. Lucifer seeing that they didn't answer his question, he asked again, but this time with a bit of killing intent mixed within, making Jimmy and the rest feel like they descended into pandemonium itself.

"I asked you a question, and none of you answered, now are you going to answer me or not?"

Chills went down the men's' spines at the coldness that was withing Lucifer's voice.

Everyone else was too scared to speak, but Max somehow mustered up the courage and spoke with a shaky voice, "I-it w-w-was yo-your p-pa-parents that se-send us t-to kill y-you."

Even though Lucifer heard him, he didn't show much emotion at the revelation as he already guessed it, but Max's answer shocked the two sisters.

Behind the garbage bin, they both held their hands over their mouths so as not to make any noise and be found, but that wasn't the only reason as they also wanted to continue staying to listen and learn more about Lucifer.

Lucifer looked down at Jimmy with a smirk while he gradually lifted his leg and drove it against his neck, as he continued to increase the pressure.

"H-Help *Cough* y-you m-m-mo-morons *COugh* I-I wi- tel- boss." But no matter what he said nor how much he pleaded, it all fell upon deaf ears, because Max and the other three lowered their heads to try and avoid making eye contact with him. Two of them even closed their ears in an attempt to try and not listen to Jimmy's agonising cries.

Realising that no matter what he said no-one will try and save him, he began laughing madly but quickly regained his composure, or at least the most composure he could have under immense torture, as he said, "W-we can make a de-deal! I c-can te-tell you e-every-thing you w-want to know, b-but you have-have to let me go!"

Lucifer made as if he was seriously thinking about it and nodded his head 'sincerely', hence he continued to talk in between gasps of breath and agonizing pain, which made his voice sound hoarse, "I-I c-c-can tel-you-where-o-ur b-boss-is."

It was a little difficult to understand what he was saying but they can get the gist of it.

Max and the rest were panicking upon hearing that he wanted to snitch, the sisters leaned even closer to try and hear, and Lucifer was smiling broadly.

In a split second his smile froze and he disappeared from his spot, leaving Jimmy to cough to try and catch his breath. He appeared beside Max that was about to draw his gun from the back of his pants and grabbed the hand which was holding onto the gun and began to pull, causing Max to drop the gun.

*Rip*

A flesh-ripping sound that sends goosebumps down everyone's spine, echoed in the alleyway followed by ear-piercing screams.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!"

Nonchalantly Lucifer kept pulling Max's arm, increasing the agony Max was in. Steadily the muscle fibres, bone tissue and tons of blood was exposed and gushing out.

"P-PLEASE. ARGH! STOP!"

But no matter how much he cried and pleaded for help, Lucifer just kept pulling his arm with an indifferent expression and moments later, which felt like years to Max, his arm was completely ripped off with rivers of blood pouring out.

The others were as pale as ghosts from the horror of the scene. Rose looked away trying not to puke, Elizabeth was horrified for a moment before frowning also feeling sad for the torture Lucifer must have gone through to make him like this, the other men and even Jimmy pissed their pants. The sight in front of them was one from purgatory where the demon king was torturing a soul.

Lucifer was standing there with a severed arm in his hand but he felt nothing. Nothing a normal person should be feeling, but he felt excited... extremely excited.

Since he has already calmed down a little bit he felt it, something, something was changing him from within. Changing his personality and emotions. With this revelation, he knew that as soon as he was back inside the store that he had to try and find out what is happening as soon as possible, maybe finding what it is, what's it doing to him and all the previous questions he had.

'I have to get their bosses' location, get money, make pills for the sisters to have them leave me alone for a bit, and try to figure out what's happening to me.'

Even with all those thoughts running through his mind Lucifer had a stoic expression as he looked down at his right hand that was holding onto Max's severed arm.

He circulated his white Qi threads and used the Heavenly Devouring skill, making the White Qi enter Max's severed arm and absorbing the Qi, making the arm wither, astounding everyone once again.

Lucifer tossed the 'garbage' over his shoulder while he slowly glanced towards Max and said, "Stay silent and out of my way." He made sure that he took the gun and put it in the back of his jeans before looking back towards Jimmy.

Understanding his gaze he quickly started divulging secrets, "Our boss's name is Ben Silver and lives at location xx, furthermore, he is an underling of your father, Alex Springwater, who has thousands of others under him that includes the patriarch of the Knight family, Bryan Knight..."

"Mmm... so Alex Springwater is concealing some fascinating secrets, huh?" Lucifer smiled evilly before asking, "Why did your boss order you to kill me, and what does Alex want to possibly achieve by hiding all of this from the public?"

Jimmy was momentarily shocked that Lucifer called his 'father' by his name, however, he soon regained his composure and continued, "My boss said he heard that your fat- no, Alex Springwater announcing that he wanted to find someone to kill you, so my boss volunteered to do it and he sent people to do it, he sent us... you know the rest. Regarding why your father is hiding his status, I don't know but my boss should know. I answered your question so can you let me-"

His voice was cut off by Lucifer that suddenly appeared in front of him and impaling his right-hand, covered by white Qi, through his stomach. In a matter of seconds, Jimmy died and his body withered.

Seeing Jimmy's outcome made the others stiffen for a moment before they turned around to try and run away. Max and the other three ran for their lives but unluckily for them was that their opponent is Lucifer. Lucifer used the white Qi and formed four spears made from it and shot them out towards them.

*Boom*

It went so fast that it broke the sound barrier and swiftly pierced through each one of them, absorbing their Qi, causing the men to mummify before their corpses fell to the ground simultaneously.

He swept his eyes over the bodies as the Qi returned to him before he looked towards the garbage bin and said loud enough for the sisters to hear, "You can come out now. Did you enjoy the show?"

"..."

There was a long silence that filled the bloodsoaked alleyway and only a full minute later did a cough come from the bin's direction before Elizabeth and Rose began walking towards Lucifer.

Rose looked terrified when she glanced at Lucifer and her surroundings, hence she just continued to look down, but Elizabeth couldn't help but see Lucifer differently.

Elizabeth still asked curiously, "Lucy, you are a child of the Springwater family?"

Lucifer simply nodded his head at her question and understanding that Lucifer didn't want to elaborate she changed her question.

"Do you perhaps have any idea why your father wants to kill you?"

"..."

"The only father I have is my master, however, if you want to know why Alex Springwater wants to kill me... then it must be because he hates me, I know of something, or it could be that our family can and know about cultivation and he thinks that I can't cultivate. There are millions of reasons, but I believe that it is the last one."

Hearing the distant manner he was speaking about the situation, made Elizabeth and Rose feel saddened for him. They guessed that he must have changed his name to separate from the family that is trying to murder him.

Lucifer noticed their expressions and he let out a slight smile as he walked towards the exit of the alleyway, but looked back at the two sisters and asked, "Are you coming or not? We are going to go pay a visit to Mr Silver and find out Alex's dirty little secrets."

Hearing what he said the two perked up a bit, although Rose still felt a little fearful of him, they followed him towards the location of Jimmy's boss.
