Destroying My Own World

Chapter 148 Sweet talk.

"How long are we going to wait for them? Didn't we agree that we will meet them here at this hour?" Luis asked as he impatiently moved back and forth in front of the portal in China.

"Calm down. We aren't in a hurry, and who knows what kind of preparation they did since the place we are going to be is quite terrifying," Gea said and looked at Luis as she ate the steaming hot meat bun. "If you don't want your meat bun, can I have it then?" Gea jokingly asked to calm Luis down.

Sasha was talking with Sun Wukong and Lei Wu Xian about the preparations for the expedition. She wanted to make sure everything had been prepared for any obstacles that would come to them.

"They have finally come," Anastasia said as she stared at the gate.

Sasha turned around and saw an SUV car with the Redshield Guild emblem on the license plate. She then watched as Lucifer and seven others came out of the car and walked toward the camp where she was at. She was a bit anxious because it was the first time the Virtue Guild had worked with the Redshield Guild since Lilith's death.

"I apologize for being late even though I was the one who suggested this expedition. I have no excuse," Lucifer said to everyone as he entered the camp. "Did you guys wait long?" Lucifer asked as he looked at them.

"It's okay, you're only late for an hour," Anastasia said.

"I'll make it up once we are done here. I'll prepare something for you guys later," Lucifer said as he gently smiled at them.

Lucifer, or what people knew him as Eric Ulf was a fine gentleman in their eyes for how he carefully used his words and acted toward them. He always became the man of the hour, and everyone respected him as he respected others. Of course, there would be people who thought it was all just an act, and the only one who knew his true self was Sasha.

"Good morning, Miss Sasha," Lucifer said as he looked at her.

"Do you still need time to prepare?" Sasha asked and ignored the greeting. "If so, you can use your time for that," Sasha added.

"No. We are good to go," Lucifer answered as he smiled, and he looked excited. "Since this is something that I suggested, should I take the lead then?" Lucifer asked as he looked at the others.

They had no complaints about that, and they trusted him since the Redshield Guild cleared the portals effortlessly and splendidly. They all looked at Sasha and waited for her answer since she was the head of the Guild League.

"I have no objection," Sasha answered.

Lucifer chuckled as he nodded his head and then he started laughing mischievously.

"Then I'll tell you everything, and you can decide which one will you choose," Lucifer said as he walked away from Sasha. "You can kill me and all this mess will be over, but Mykel will suffer and will live eternity in the deepest part of hell," Lucifer explained.

"What are you talking about?" Sasha asked.

"You know what happened to him when he tried to fight The Lord. He was tortured in hell by me, and I enjoyed every second of it, but do you know why The Lord set him free?" Lucifer asked and stared at Sasha. "He gave him a chance to repent. All he has to do is stop the demons and fix the mess he created, but if he failed or he wasn't the one who end it then he will be punished," Lucifer explained.

"What do you mean by that?" Sasha asked with her eyebrows furrowed. "So if we clear the portals and bring back the peace on Earth he will be punished because of that?" Sasha added.

"That's right, and nobody can save him without The Lord's will, and The Lord has given him a second chance, so nothing could save him anymore," Lucifer answered with a smirk. "So, what are you going to do, Sasha? I know your love for him is like an unquenchable flame. Would you like to see him suffer this time while you live in heaven?" Lucifer asked as he walked toward Sasha.

Lucifer knew that he couldn't corrupt Sasha anymore with the same trick as before. So he decided to use her love for Mykel and tried to get her back into his palm. He already knew the answer, but he wanted to play with her feelings and emotions.

He could see that Sasha hesitated to give an answer, and then he asked, "Why hesitate, Sasha? Don't you want to be free?" "You should know that the more we clear the portals, the less time Mykel has," he continued.

"You're lying," Sasha said as she stared Lucifer in the eye.

"No. Why would I? You can ask Raphael if you want to," Lucifer replied with a smirk.

Sasha spoke to Raphael and was hoping he could give her the real answer. When she saw the notification, she was surprised that Raphael could vouch for Lucifer's words about what would happen to Mykel. He told her that Mykel would be damned and would be tortured for eternity once peace got brought back to Earth.

"See? I'm not lying," Lucifer said as he chuckled. "So? What would you do?" Lucifer asked.

Before Sasha could give an answer, Lucifer whispered into her ear that even Raphael couldn't hear. The moment Lucifer leaned his head back, Sasha dropped the sword and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Don't you want that?" Lucifer asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I'll play along, for now," Sasha said and then walked away with an angry expression.
