The man approached them with footsteps that looked so dignified. His charisma was so strong that it made the people who were in every room of this mansion come out and enter the main living room.
Lucien's eyes focused on Claude who approached him with a faint smile. He could feel there was something different about this man and it was clear that he was the leader.
"Are you Lucien Sanders?"
"You know my name?"
"Of course! In the underground business, who doesn't like Lucky, the god of fortune who is the target of mafia all over the world."
"Lucky? What did you say, Claude?" Ask Jayden. He was surprised because it turned out that Claude already knew Lucien's figure when he was still living as an ordinary human.
Claude looked at Lucien deeply, he looked happy and Jayden could feel it. This was an unusual reaction he would show if a new member was about to join. He had never been this enthusiastic before.
"In the past, I was willing to exchange 100 million dollars to get you to work with you. But I always failed because Victor really took care of you. What made you end up like this?"
"The person you said was guarding me all along ended up being the one who eliminated me."
"Victor? He killed you?"
"Yes! He hired a hitman to kill me one year ago."
Hearing Lucien's shocking confession made everyone in the room speechless. That sounded very surprising because Lucien actually died at the hands of his boss.
"It's a shame you had to die like that. So, that's why you came back to avenge your death?"
"I don't care! I don't care about my death at all. I want to get rid of him for the sin he has committed to my wife!"
Lucien was silent for a moment as the image of that disgusting scene appeared in his memory. The moment how Victor tried to harass Ruby. But there was something that made his heart ache very much, namely when Ruby and Victor made love after he died.
His hands were tightly clenched into fists, his anger and resentment growing stronger after he realized that he was betrayed. He did this all for Ruby, for the woman he loved. But in the end, the woman's heart was so fast changing.
"I understand, Lucien! There's something you should know about this group if you really want to join and be a part of Supernova Revenge. Supernova Revenge was formed exactly 1000 years ago by the first human, Konstantine who made a pact with Lucifer in order to avenge revenge on opponents who killed him on the battlefield. Konstantine became the first leader who was called Alpha with the form of a huge wolf monster who was very strong and agile. The wolf's head crest with wings of fire was engraved on his shoulder and it became the first and only symbol that until now never appeared again even after 1000 years.”
"Wolf head symbol with wings of fire? I think Lucien has one!" Sofia said. Just as he expected, the symbol of the pact that was measured on Lucien's shoulder was the legendary sign he always talked about until now.
"What? That can't be! He can't have the symbol of constantin-"
"No Jay! I saw it myself. You can see it on his shoulder!"
"Is it true?"
They all couldn't believe that the symbol of Konstantin was on Lucien. It wasn't a token of the pact that anyone could get their hands on easily, unless Lucifer himself chose it.
"Show me your back!" Claude said. He asked Lucien to open his shirt and show the symbol of the agreement that was just below the nape of his neck.
"Impossible!"
They all muttered the same thing. A symbol of the agreement that even became the main painting in this mansion. Upon seeing the mark on Lucien's back, their gazes shifted to the large painting that showed the exact same image as the one on Lucien's body.
They were all shocked, shuddered and almost couldn't believe it, how could anyone get this very rare symbol which was previously only owned by the first human who made a pact with Lucifer as well as being the first alpha.
Jayden, who had always felt that he was the strongest, seemed to be starting to worry about his position as commander. He hates it when someone is stronger than him.
"I was very surprised because I didn't expect that as long as I served as an alpha, I would find something as surprising as this. I don't know what kind of and how much power the owner of the constant symbol has. But one thing is for sure, your strength should not be underestimated ."
"You haven't explained everything to me yet!"
"Supernova Revenge currently has 10,000 thousand members spread across several countries. Each member is divided into 10 divisions, usually each division consists of 30 to 50 groups led by a captain and in one group there are 20 to 40 members. The division leader is referred to as the commander, like Jayden, he is the combat division commander whose job is to preside over all matters relating to combat and execution."
"Execution?"
"Yes, execution means that the Jayden division's duty is to kill a person or a group that is an enemy of our business, a business opponent or the target of each member's revenge."
"That means this group killed other people?"
"Yes, of course! We are all here to kill other people, right? Not only for revenge but that is also part of our business. Namely an underground business, one of which provides assassin services."
Assassin? That sounded pretty horrific to him, considering how he too was killed by an assassin Victor had hired. This is a little hard for him to accept as it goes against his ultimate goal of eliminating Victor.
"What's wrong, Lucien? Does that bother you?"
"No! I was just slightly wondering, would after being resurrected by the power of Lucifer, all of you would act as devils without a conscience?"
I believe Lucifer told you something about how complicated humans are? In deciding to accept his offer, we have realized a few things and one of them is that we are no longer human. in between, between humans and demons. That means we can act like both creatures. Love like humans and destroy like demons. It all depends on how you control the two sides that are dominant in you. If you are unable to control your demon side , then you will become a beast that destroys everything without any meaningful purpose."
"What if the human side actually becomes more dominant? Does that mean you will be weak like humans?"
"If you can make your human side more dominant that means you are a great person!"
"Great?"
"Because with the ability and power that you have and the fact that you will still end up in hell no matter what you do, but you can still be human, that means you managed to defeat Lucifer!"
