Lucifer left one of his shadows with the Maya as he departed in the helicopter to complete his mission. In any case, he didn’t feel the need to stay with Maya now that his shadow was there. He could come back whenever he noticed something suspicious happening. In case there was nothing wrong, he could let Maya leave.
‘In the future that I went to, Maya was alive. In fact, she had called Joana when I was in his house with his dead body. That means I let her leave alive. So maybe she isn’t here for something bad. In any case, it’s better to keep an eye on her.”
Sitting near the window, Lucifer gazed out as he lost himself in thoughts, trying to guess what the true reasoning of Maya could be.
“Who was that girl?” Kellian asked after a long silence. “You look really concerned since you saw her. It’s not normal.”
“She’s someone really strong,” Lucifer answered. “And the one she works for is even stronger. I told you about the Star Alliance, right? She’s a Vice Captain for that organization and part of the team I had joined.”
“So you two are teammates. Why are you concerned, then? If she is a threat, I’m sure we can take her out.” Tristan chimed in. “If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, I can do it.”
He held his sword firmly as he smiled.
“She isn’t a threat… So far,” Lucifer muttered. “So I don’t want to hurt her. The Star Alliance is behind her. If something happens to her, it might be the start of a war in which Earth might not survive. After a long time, Earth has settled down. I don’t want it to face an even fiercer war.”
“Because if you thought the Variants and Jian were scary, the Star Alliance is another beast altogether. I haven’t seen the true strength of a Captain of theirs, but I can feel it. They are stronger than Baltics. And that’s just a Captain. There’s a General above that and a Queen as well,” he further stated.
“Are they really that strong?” Salazar asked.
“Yeah. I guess you can say I was before one of their Generals at a point in time. His abilities… They were impeccable. He was able to trap me in a time loop. It was something that even I couldn’t do. I could only do that much with the Vessel strength, but he was able to do it without that. Not only that but the chains… It was impossible to free myself from them,” Lucifer explained.
“The Star Alliance isn’t an enemy I want to face at this point in time,” he added. “I’m sure there will come a time for that, but that time isn’t now.”
As he walked, he couldn’t help but remember the moment he had faced an entire army of the Star Alliance, and he was caught, only to be accused of killing the Queen, who was also his wife, supposedly.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he bit his lip in frustration. He was going to be married to a woman he hadn’t even met? Meanwhile, on earth, he had such troubles as well. He didn’t know what to decide.
“Ah, right! Veracity, now that you’re here, we can begin!”
“Begin what?” Veracity asked. “I don’t even know the reason you brought me here. I’m not good at fighting.”
“I know, but you’re good at something we aren’t good at,” Lucifer answered. “You are good at catching lies and seeing the truth. That’s what I need.”
“You want to interrogate someone?” Veracity asked.
Lucifer nodded. “That’s it.”
“Who?” she asked.
“Who else? We are going to catch Predictor. It must be him only,” Tristan chimed in the middle as if this question wasn’t even worth guessing.
“No.” Lucifer shook his head. “I want to interrogate someone else. Someone who is present here.”
“Huh?” Everyone looked amongst each other. Who was Lucifer going to interrogate? Was there a traitor amongst them? Was there someone Lucifer didn’t trust?
“Who?” Kellian asked, frowning. He couldn’t guess who it might be. Everyone here was someone he trusted with his life.
Lucifer gazed at the clouds out the window. The helicopter had started landing at the airport.
As the helicopter landed, Lucifer opened the door and stepped out. However, he didn’t forget to mention something before leaving. “Me. I want you to use your abilities on me, Veracity.”
After leaving, he reached out his hand to Veracity.
Veracity held his hands and stepped out as well. The others followed suit as everyone advanced toward the private jet that was waiting for them.
After entering the jet, Lucifer sat with Veracity in a comfortable seat. The others also took seats nearby, really interested in what was going to happen next. What was Lucifer going to ask? Why did he want to interrogate himself?
“So, can we begin? I want you to find lies in my statement.”
“I still don’t understand. Why are you doing it?” Veracity asked, confused. She didn’t understand why Lucifer was doing it.
“It’s because there is a confusion in my head and in my heart. I don’t know what the answer I crave for. I don’t know what the answer I want is. That’s why I need your help to find the subconscious truth that even I don’t know. Can you do it?” Lucifer asked, looking in the eyes of Veracity.
Veracity nodded her head. “That… Does seem possible. Alright, let’s start. You can start talking. I’ll tell you when I sense lies in your statement.”
Lucifer took a deep breath. “I am really happy that everyone is back from dead. I am happy that the group is together. I am happy that my family is back.”
“All truth so far.” Veracity nodded.
“I am not angry at Cassius for what he did. I have forgiven him entirely,” Lucifer stated.
“That seems to be a lie,” Veracity answered.
“I had a feeling,” Lucifer muttered. “It’s not easy to forgive someone after you’ve been betrayed. I might never be able to trust Cassius entirely, but he’ll always be my friend.”
“True.” Veracity nodded. “Anything else you want to check?”
“I like Milena,” Lucifer stated.
Veracity was slightly surprised at the sudden statement, and so was everyone else, but she nodded. “True.”
“I like Eve,” Lucifer continued.
“True.”
“I like Alicia.”
“True as well,” Veracity answered. “I think I now understand what you’re trying to do. You want to know who your heart wants?”
A beautiful smile formed on her lips. “If that’s the case, don’t say like. That’s a very general statement. You can say you like your friends, and that’ll be true as well. So try with Love.”
