After half an hour, a helicopter landed before a restaurant, shocking everyone in the surrounding area, especially since the helicopter had the symbol of Uprising, which in itself was enough to stun everyone.
The door of the helicopter opened, and three dark-robed men stepped out of the restaurant, being led by Kane.
Kane's face was already pale, and he was looking down like he had gone through some shock.
"It's all over. Only Lucifer can find a way out of this mess. We need to help him regain his memories, or we'll all die." Kane said, letting out a sigh.
"Don't worry. He will regain his memories soon. We will find a way. And then everything would be alright."
"What can be alright? Jian would still exist. And if I'm not wrong, he will personally come here next. Not only him, but the entire world will also come for us, now that they had lost all the fear of the Uprising after what happened. We don't have much time."
"We might even need to disband and hide if we can't find a solution to this problem."
Kane pushed the door open and stepped inside the restaurant. His eyes roamed around the restaurant, trying to find Lucifer. However, he couldn't find Lucifer anywhere. He only saw the dark-haired man that he had called. The man was sitting with a waiter.
Seeing Kane enter, both the men stood up. They lowered their gazes in fear. They didn't know what to say. They had watched the telecast on the screen.
They knew that Kane was going to be in a really bad mood after what happened. They didn't want to anger him more.
Even though Uprising members had no insignia on their chests or any symbol, everyone recognized them just from their aura alone. They seemed like kings standing before commoners.
"Where is Lucifer?" Kane asked, taking some steps before the dark-haired man.
"Lucifer sir left," the dark-haired man said, taking the lead since he knew the waiter was nervous. If he gave him a chance to speak, the man might make a blunder.
"He left? What?!"
"Yeah. He waited for a little but left after watching the outcome of the battle. He didn't want to wait for you and said he was going alone."
"You're lying! Lucifer can't leave us in this mess. He isn't a coward who will run away in the face of the problem!" one of the men said.
"Kane, why aren't you saying anything? They're lying. You know Lucifer. He won't run away like a coward."
Kane shook his head in response.
"I know the older Lucifer who had a good relationship with Uprising. I know a Lucifer who treated us like a family, but this Lucifer isn't that Lucifer. He lost his memories," he said, sitting on the seat in disappointment.
" For him, we're all strangers. It's quite possible that Lucifer preferred not to take part in the battles of strangers," he further continued.
"So we've been abandoned?"
"It looks like that."
"No, that can't be. We must find Lucifer. We must help him gain his memories! He will definitely help us."
"It's too late. Now that he left and knows about a few things, it'll be almost impossible to find him. And by the time we find him, it'll be too late. I doubt he would even agree to help us. Kellian talked to him and told him to stay here."
"If he didn't even listen to Kellian, who he knew, you think he's going to listen to me?" Kane asked, resting his head on the table in frustration.
"What do we do now then? Fight without him?"
"Fight without him? You think that's any different from committing suicide? With him, we could at least fight even if the opponent was strong since we knew that our sacrifice won't be in vain, but without him, even if we all fight, we'll all die, and that sacrifice would mean nothing."
" The Uprising will disappear after the Battle. We'll be forgotten. Since it's the ultimate outcome, I think we should forget it," Kane said. "Let's just disband Uprising. We can all go in our different directions. We will survive, at least. Staying together is a waste now."
"Without the others, you're the leader. So, of course, everyone will listen to your decision of disbanding but are you sure you want to do this? Once we disband, it'll all be over. We might not ever come together again? The Uprising will become history, and we'll all be known like cowards. Do you really want that?'
"You think I want to run away?!" Kane asked, standing up. "I don't want to run away either. I also want to fight. Uprising is also my home that I want to defend. I don't want our legacy to go down the drain and for us to be called cowards."
"But I don't want you all to die either. You must live, even if it's like before. At least you will survive. Go, spread out in the world, make a home, start a family and grow old happily. That's much better than dying in vain."
"I know you're thinking of us, but still. I think we should give up another chance. We still have some time. Let's try finding Lucifer."
"Time... Fine. One more day. If we can't find Lucifer in one day and convince him, we'll all disband."
"I understand. But don't worry, we'll find him. I promise!"
Kane stood up. He looked at the dark-haired man. "Did he say where he was going?"
"He didn't tell me anything. He just said he doesn't want to be a part of it."
"So he might have gone anywhere. It'll certainly be hard to find him," Kane said. "If you see him anywhere, or remember anything, call the same number. Your help will be heavily awarded."
Finishing, Kane left with his men. They entered the chopper. The helicopter started rising in the air and left.
The Dark-haired man watched the helicopter leave, letting out a sigh of relief. "It's good that they didn't ask us too many questions. We seem to be safe now."
He walked back inside the restaurant and sat at a table. "We went through a lot today. I think we deserve some wine after all that. Can you bring one?"
The waiter also relaxed a bit. He finally could live. He brought the best wine bottle and sat before the man. They started drinking happily.
On the other hand, Lucifer left the city long ago. He had a destination in his mind, and he decided to go there to calm himself.
