Chapter 168 - 168: Trap Of Uprising

"This should keep them busy. They had fun running our pics in news channels all month long, right? They worked hard to make Lucifer into the villain. It’s finally our turn to release this footage and shift the perception of the world."

"All the Variants will see the true side of the humans and the APF. This was exactly what I was waiting for. Lucifer finished his revenge, and APF, and the other righteous idiots dug a deep hole for themselves. Time to push them into that hole." Raia smiled as he stared at the footage which showed Lucifer being tortured.

That wasn’t all. He also had one more piece of footage! Which was even more damaging to APF.

"It was the footage of Xander attacking Lucifer first near the facility and killing the innocent kids behind Caen in the process. It focused straight on Xander’s expressionless face even after doing that, as if he didn’t feel bad about killing innocent Variants.

The footage was recorded by one of the Variants that Raia had tasked to record everything that happened there. It was a goldmine.

APF had said Lucifer was a killer that killed Variants and humans! But Variant Uprising was the one that had the footage proving otherwise.

They had cut the footage of the aftermath of this attack in which Lucifer attacked and only kept the first part which showed how Xander was wrong, and how the APF was all that they were blaming Lucifer to be.

Moreover, they also had the footage to prove him as an innocent kid who was tortured by the humans in power.

And to act as the final nail in the coffin, they had the proof that Lucifer was the son of Zale Azarel and Clarisse that gave their lives for the safety of humans.

It was an elaborate web that Raia had planned, and now this web was trying to swallow the APF whole.

Soon, everything was going to change.

"All curtains are going to be open, and people will see the true side of things. Varant is going to get a big headache soon in trying to get some damage control, but nothing can work with all this," Raia said as his smirk widened.

....

Lucifer had mistakenly broken the wall of his room in his frustration through which he saw a laptop placed on the bed.

He couldn’t see the screen of the laptop from where he was sitting, but if he were to see, he would have seen that it was showing the live footage of the outside corridor.

Moreover, in that footage, Draco could be seen walking towards Lucifer’s room.

As Draco reached the door of Lucifer’s room, he knocked on the door.

"Sir Lucifer, I brought breakfast," Draco called out.

Lucifer stood up and walked to the door, ignoring the hole in the wall.

He opened the door and allowed Draco in.

As soon as Draco entered the room with the plates, his eyes fell on the big hole in the wall that was giving a clear view of his room.

"Ah, Sir Lucifer? This..."

"It’s nothing. I had a bad dream, and that happened accidentally," Lucifer replied, without the least bit of embarrassment.

"They should be able to repair it," He added. "Or you can take a different room that doesn’t have a hole in the wall."

"Ah, there’s no need for that. It will be repaired," Draco remarked before he placed the food on the table.

"Eat up. Today, you’ll be leaving for that place you keep talking about. I was told that you’d leave in an hour. So eat and get ready," Draco said before he started leaving.

"You aren’t going to watch me today?" Lucifer asked, watching Draco leave. It was strange to see him leave since he always stayed with Lucifer when he ate.

"Not right now since I need to give you privacy to get dressed. Also, I need to inform upstairs to have that hole repaired. Enjoy your feast," Draco replied before he left.

Lucifer began eating after Draco left, but unlike before, he didn’t eat everything with his bare hands but used a spoon like a well-mannered person according to the people of this world. He was taught many things during these few weeks, and most of them stuck with him.

"After I return, I will be taught to use the computer and the technical stuff. That should give me more information about the outside world. I need to understand everything better and find out more about what happened that day."

As Lucifer ate, he occasionally talked to himself out loud, looking forward to his next learning adventure after returning from Orion Beach.

...

Raia had given the footage to his team and told them to hack all news channel frequencies to telecast this footage with their own commentary on top when he ordered. The entire country needed to listen to this and see.

Vega was also going to return soon, so it wasn’t going to be hard to achieve such a feat, he believed.

...

Contrary to the Variant Uprising that had a plan of their own, APF was still without a plan. At Least that’s what it seemed from outside.

It had been a month, but there was no clue of Lucifer. Moreover, it was as if the entire Variant Uprising had gone underground. There weren’t any sightings. It seemed like it was going to be a long wait for APF this time.

Regarding the same topic, a meeting was taking place between the top three of Alpha Squad since they were handling this extremely crucial matter.

The meeting only included Assassination Emperor Rowen Gensi, Shadow Monarch Riali, and Warlock King Varant.

"Are Zeiss and the others still not coming?" Rowen asked Varant.

Responding to Rowen’s question, Varant shook his head.

"Zeiss isn’t there. He’s inside a dungeon for some reason. It’s been close to a month, but he’s still not out. Apparently, he went to find something, and he can’t be contacted," Varant replied.

" He can’t be contacted? That’s understandable since contacting people inside the dungeon is almost impossible. But for him to not come out for a month. Could it be that something happened to him inside the dungeon?" Riali asked.

"I mean, if Zale could die inside the dungeon, it’s also possible that Zeiss... Moreover, it has been a month. Is any team going in to find him?" he further explained.

"No. Because Zeiss went inside a Grade One Dungeon, Zale had gone into a Grade Four Dungeon," Raia answered. "If people believe that Zeiss can die inside a Grade One Dungeon and go to find him, that would be too insulting."
