Chapter 411 - 411: Strange

Having no other option, Commander Hamilton knew that he couldn’t just sit idle and wait for the problem to go away. He needed to be a leader and approach the problem from the front.

He also tried to believe Lucifer when he said that the Dalia army didn’t send him. In any case, Dalia could never afford a powerful being like this. But he also knew that this assumption held a risk.

If Lucifer was actually sent by Dalia, then he was undoubtedly bluffing when he said that he didn’t care if Dalia was blown up.

" Keep everything ready. If I’m dead there, that would mean that he really was sent by Dalia, and we were wrong? Fire all the missiles on Dalia in that case. Take those bastards out. Also, keep listening to our conversation," Hamilton commanded his men before taking a secret tunnel.

"Ah, sir. Should I come with you too?" Some armored soldiers ran after him.

"What’s the benefit? Will you be able to stop him if he decides to attack us? You’ll die as well if you come with me. Stay behind. Either I alone am enough, or even our entire army won’t be enough," Hamilton replied, refusing to take them with him.

He continued walking alone.

On the outside, Lucifer continued his wreckage, wondering when these people were going to come out. He knew that it was going to happen soon. They weren’t going to die idle.

"Hey, big guy! Look here!" A powerful voice suddenly came from a loudspeaker, making Lucifer turn back.

Turning around, he noticed that a man was standing in the back, carrying a loudspeaker in his hand.

"No weapons! Interesting. Is he here to talk?" he started floating in the direction of the man, soon landing before him.

"Who are you?" He asked the man, staring at him. The man was slightly intimidated as the man he considered a monster was standing before him.

"I’m Commander Hamilton. I’m the leader here. I came here to talk to you myself. Since you said you aren’t sent by Dalia, I want to know why you’re attacking us! How did we offend you?" Hamilton asked Lucifer, standing his ground.

"How did you offend me?" Lucifer asked, frowning. He grabbed the man by his throat. "You mean other than you blowing up our plane that was passing through the airspace of this country?"

"Let me think. How about the fact that you fired two missiles at me before I could even land here? Would that be enough? Or how about the fact that we’re delayed by a day in our journey because of you?"

"Or shall I talk about how you almost killed two of my important men? Or shall I be offended that it’s because of you that I’m not on a flight on a comfy seat instead of spending a day here without any food?"

"Which one do you think is worthy for me to be offended about? Pick that."

"Plane? We didn’t blow up any plane? There must be a misunderstanding! We didn’t do that! As for the two missiles being fired at you, that was an accident. We thought it was an enemy plane that was coming to attack us," Hamilton explained, struggling to breathe.

Taking each breath was proving to be a challenging job for him.

"So you didn’t fire the missile at us? You also didn’t release the statement that any plane that comes above the city will be blown up?" Lucifer asked sarcastically. "Enough of playing around."

Crack!

Before the man could even have a chance to continue, his neck was broken as he was tossed aside.

After dealing with Hamilton, Lucifer started looking around, trying to find something.

"One can be an accident, but two people appeared behind me. This time I was sure that no one was behind me. That can only mean that a tunnel exists, which helped them get here. That tunnel should be somewhere around here."

He wore the sunglasses and commanded, "Turn on the see-through vision."

Something akin to X-Ray activated on the glasses, which was something used to see through the walls. Lucifer wanted to use it to see through the ground to find the tunnels.

It didn’t take him long to find the tunnel either, as he realized that he was standing on top of one of them already.

He still continued his search, trying to find the entrance. He soon found the entrance, which was a metallic door made to look like the ground. He opened the door and jumped inside the tunnel.

...

Inside the Command Center, people were already sweating as they saw what had happened to their commander. But the conversation also proved to them that this guy wasn’t sent by Dalia.

"He will soon be here. What should we do? Destructive tornadoes are outside the tunnels. And inside, he is coming to us. No place is safe! What should we do?"

People started worrying about what to do. No place was safe for them. They were all concerned about their lives to think about anything else.

There was only one person in the command center that was calm. He was sitting on the chair, frowning. He was focusing more on what Lucifer had said about the plane.

"We didn’t blow up any plane. We didn’t release any statement either. What is this guy talking about? I don’t think he would lie like that."

Sitting on the chair, a deep frown engulfed the face of the man as he continued talking to himself.

"But we didn’t blow any planes in recent days. Why would he think we did? And what statement? We didn’t release any statement either?"

There was immense confusion on his face.

"Could it be that there’s a misunderstanding? Or someone lied to him, shifting the blame to us?"

He started checking his systems to search for something, wondering if a plane was blown up nearby. He checked all the news portals and soon found it.

"So he was right. A plane was blown up recently, but it wasn’t done by us. Why are all these news articles blaming us? What the heck? Why are they lying about our statement? Why would we blow up a plane? This is all a lie!"

The man grabbed his head, not understanding what was happening. Who was trying to frame them like this?

And all these articles had appeared after the plane was blown up.. Before that event, there was no mention of any declaration to blow up planes. It was as if the plane was blown up, and then someone came up with this story!
