The ladies were scared at what had just happened. A stranger had entered the room, and now the owner of the house was lying unconscious. 

They had many questions in their mind, but they couldn't ask Arthur since they were scared. They just followed the command. 

Jiani waited outside the room patiently for Arthur to return. She wanted to barge inside, but Arthur had told her to stay out. 

However, she soon started getting impatient after five minutes passed. She believed that much time was enough for Arthur. 

She kicked the door open and barged inside. 

As she entered, she looked around, finding two naked women trying to place a shirt on a man's body. 

"What's happening? Why are there ladies without clothes?"

"It's good that you didn't enter two minutes ago. If you had, you would've seen something you shouldn't," Arthur answered. "Anyway, after he is dressed, we can leave."

The women made Arlan wear the shirt as well before looking innocently at Arthur. 

"You're done. You two can leave." Arthur took Arlan and held the hand of Jiani before he disappeared as if he was never there. 

The two women looked confused. The man appeared like a ghost and disappeared. They wondered if they were dreaming. 

Meanwhile, Arthur took Arlan with him back to the nearest airport. 

Instead of walking through the main entrance of the airport and being seen with an unconscious Arlan, he simply Teleported inside the plane, which brought them here. 

He placed the man on a seat and tied a seat belt around his waist before he walked to the pilot, telling him that they were ready to leave. 

"This mission moved so smoothly. I didn't even need to do much. I guess I expected more from a strong Summoner. You defeated him so easily."

"I didn't defeat him," Arthur replied. "It's the magic of the Bracelet. These things are really miraculous. Such fascinating technology."

"It made him unconscious before he could even finish the Summon," he further stated. 

"They certainly are strong. I wonder if they can entrap Lucifer as well..." Jiani wondered. 

"I don't think you should talk about such things. Firstly, he isn't an enemy. After we're done with the missions, he'll free Her Majesty. We're technically on the same side now," Arthur responded, wearing his seatbelt as well. 

"And secondly, these things are linked to him. I don't think they'll work on him. And even if they work, his voice will deactivate them. It's a stupid idea. So drop it."

"I don't mean like that. Didn't you hear? These things are called Limiters. And they were brought by Cassius from Xaen in the island."

"That means Lucifer just modified the tech to listen to him. Similarly, if we can modify it to listen to us and override it? We would have a really great weapon."

"I mean, don't tell me you didn't think about this? With Lucifer, Her Majesty will always be a second fiddle. She'll be under him, but if we can weaken him, she'll truly be the leader that she deserve to be?" Jiani commented. 

"If we can find a way to reprogram the Limiters that are left and somehow get one on the wrist of Lucifer, we can switch the game entirely. Moreover, he can experience what he made our queen experience."

"That still doesn't change the fact that it's like betraying our friend," Arthur let out, rolling his eyes. "Let's not make things worse by trying to be over smart."

"We're doing the same thing he did. Her Majesty offered him to work by his side in the same team when he placed the Limiter on her. We are just doing the same thing."

" Moreover, placing the Limiter doesn't mean we are attacking him? We'll still keep him on our side. Just that he'll be a little less risky for us. What do you say?" Jiani asked. 

"I think it's a bad idea, and it'll jeopardize many things if you try. So I'll say it one last time. You should stop thinking about such nonsense. Things are finally on the right track."

"You don't need to go through that stupid plan of making Her Majesty made Lucifer fall in love for her for him to free her. Everything is perfect. Soon she'll be free. Don't do anything stupid."

Arthur closed his eyes after speaking what he wanted to. 

The pilot received the necessary permissions as well. The plane started moving and soon rose in the air. 

Sitting on the other side, Jiani didn't look so convinced with the words of Arthur, but she didn't say anything. She just glanced at the Limiter on the hands of Arlan. 

...

Lucifer's flight was the next one to reach its destination. It landed at the airport of the small island nation. 

"I was about to leave in the form of Shadow to not go through all the checking, but you can do better, it seems. Can you turn to Arthur?" Lucifer asked Eve as he picked up the small briefcase. 

Eve nodded. She closed her eyes but soon opened them. There was no change in her. 

"I can't," she shook her head, smiling wryly. 

"You can't?' 

"Yeah. I can't. I suppose you were right about testing it. It seems I can't use Adaptation here. There are two possible theories I have."

"One is that I can use this for a limited amount of time which seems highly likely. I already used it twice in a short interval. It's either that or the distance. It's also possible that I need to be close to the person I want to adapt to?"

"I was close to Kellian when I adapted to him, but we're not close to others now."

"If those are the only two theories, they're easy to test. Try switching to me again."

Eve nodded. She tried to switch to Lucifer. This time, it worked. She became identical to him. 

"It seems it's about proximity indeed. It doesn't matter. We'll leave as shadows in that case. Just follow me."

Lucifer kept the bag in the shadow realm before turning into a Shadow. He left the plane. Eve followed behind him, doing the same thing. Both of them soon left the airport. 

...

"Argh, what a beautiful place! It feels so good to be back here after so long!" A middle-aged woman stepped out of the airport, holding the arms of a middle-aged man, sticking close to him. 

The woman looked to be in her early fifties, while the man looked slightly younger. 

"It hasn't been that long.. Why are you talking as if we were out for decades?" The man asked, smiling.
