Salute To The General

Chapter 1395 Send Mr Reilly Home

Meanwhile, in the Leeroy family mansion.

Lucifer was helping himself to a cup of tea as Sky reported the timeline of the whole incident. He had an odd expression on his face, as though he had an entirely different version of the events in his mind.

Similarly, his underling—the Merciless Duo, the Seven Champions, the Twelve Apostles—all had undecipherable looks as they listened to Sky's report.

Sky summarized the entire timeline and told Lucifer as he looked at him anxiously. "Sire, our plan to assassinate Nathan failed because we underestimated the capability of his subordinates. They are far more capable than we have perceived them to be. Victor and the bunch of bandits couldn't defeat Nathan. The snipers I brought along have been taken out by his subordinates as well.”

In return, Lucifer nodded and replied placidly, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but Winston told me you have been taken into custody by Nathan as well. However, Nathan then sent you home and thanked you before leaving, right? Do you mind sharing with me what this is about? What sort of favor have you done him?"

Sky's expression changed drastically. He tried to explain himself immediately, "Sire, allow me to explain myself. Once Nathan took me into custody, I had made up my mind to take up all the responsibility. In fact, I was ready to sacrifice myself for the greater goal."

"But he had set you free, huh?" Lucifer asked rhetorically.

Sky tried his best to persuade Lucifer, "Yes! That's exactly what Nathan is up to! He's trying to stir things up between us because he wants us to turn our backs against one another, Sire! Nathan will achieve his goal if everyone thinks I have betrayed you. In short, he was trying to force me into submission because he was certain you would doubt my loyalty."

Nathan is trying to force you into submission?

Lucifer's eyes glinted with a barely noticeable murderous intent. He got up from his seat and made his way over to Sky's side.
