Chapter 815: SOS

The car stopped in front. Another car stopped in the back.

"I think I've had enough of the explanation. Time to leave."

Lucifer pressed the red button and turned the steering wheel towards the right.

Unfortunately, more and more cars arrive right then. The cars parked parallel to him, blocking all the paths.

The doors of the first car opened and a man stepped out. He curiously looked at Lucifer's car in the back.

Smiling, he walked to the car. He knocked on the windshield of Lucifer.

Frowning, Lucifer opened the door. He didn't know if these men knew what he had done, but he was prepared for everything. Still, he hoped that it wasn't the case.

"Lucifer, I'm surprised to see you here. Did you finally get the time to show your face on missions?" the red-haired man said, laughing. "In any case, you arrived before me even though the SOS came over recently. You're very fast. You must've been nearby."

"The dearest puppet of the Queen is finally doing some work. In any case, it seems like all of us got an SOS from Joana. Let's check it out. We shouldn't delay."

The man stepped aside.

Lucifer didn't know the name of this man, but the one star Symbol on his chest was enough to tell a few things. As more and more cars opened, more people stepped out. All of them had a star on their chests.

'So many one Star members. Joana was very strong the last time I saw him in action. With this many people, it'll be hard for me as well. But it looks like they don't know if it was because of me. I should play along."

Lucifer stepped out of the car.

"It's not me who is fast. Instead, it's you who is slow," Lucifer responded as he stepped out of the car.

He closed the door as well.

Including Lucifer, there were six 1-star members here. Seeing so many high ranking star alliance members, the nearby people were surprised.

The six of them entered the building.

"The door is open," the red haired man commented as he opened the door. "Things don't seem right. I don't hear any noise."

"We should split up. The three of us will check this floor. You three check upstairs."None of the men in the back suggested.

"Good idea." The suggestion was accepted by the red haired man.

He took the stairs. Lucifer also followed after him, clenching his fist.

All three men landed on the top floor. The red haired man pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"I came here before. This was the bedroom of Joana. But it has nothing now. And the strange markings on the wall... I think something happened here."

He stepped closer to the wall and touched the marks.

" They were recently made. I think someone made them intentionally to hide something. Maybe the signs of a battle were hidden here? It's very interesting."

"Let me see."

A green-haired man from the team stepped forward. She placed her hand on the wall as well.

As soon as her hand touched the wall, all the marks started reversing as if the time of the wall was being reversed.

"You were right, Lyon. If I'm not wrong, these marks were made only a few minutes. Whoever did it was here not long ago. He must've left right before we came."

Soon, all the extra marks that Lucifer had made disappeared, leaving only the original marks.

Lia stopped after removing all the excess marks. She stepped back.

All three looked at the wall, standing right beside each other.

"What do you think Lucifer?" Lyon asked.

"They are markings of a battle it seems. Maybe an argument took place here. The battle doesn't seem to be too extreme," Lucifer replied.

"For Joana to send a SOS, that means the enemy was at least as strong as her if not stronger. If those two properly fought here, the building would've been destroyed," he further added. " I think it wasn't a full on battle but a small skirmish."

"I don't think so," Lyon shook his head. "You know what I believe?"

"Whosever attacked this place finished the battle before it could become something big. He was very fast in what he did. I mean, let's look at you."

"Let's assume you were the attacker. What tactic would you use to kill him? Would you kill him swiftly or would you wait for the building to be destroyed so you could be caught?"

"If I was the attacker, Joana wouldn't even get a chance to attack back. The marks wouldn't have been on the wall. Whoever did it might've been fast but he wasn't very clean."

"I disagree... I think it's as clean as someone can get while killing a one Star member of ours," the Green haired woman chimed in. "Just look around us. There's nothing we can use to find him. He also cleared the entire room. The only thing he has is the markings."

"If he took the items from here, he must've been seen by someone. He just left a few minutes before we got here. We should check the footage first and interrogate the neighbors. A one star captain has been killed. We need to find whoever killed him."

Lyon started leaving the room. "Let's see if others found something."

"How can you be sure Joana is dead?" Lucifer asked, following Lyon. " I think there's also another possibility."

"What possibility?" Lyon asked. "Don't tell me they both left not a drink after the Battle."

"I mean it's possible that Joana is kidnapped instead," Lucifer suggested. "I mean, it's quite possible that the purpose was to kidnap Joana. Whoever it was made Joana pass out mid-battle then took him with all the items in the room."

"It's quite possible," Lia agreed. "I think both possibilities make sense. We should get more answers from the footage."

The three of them met the other three people who had finished checking the lower floor.

Both the teams exchanged the information they had discovered.

All of them left the place. Lyon walked to his car and brought a laptop out. He placed the laptop in his car. Using the laptop, he entered the authorized network of the Star Alliance and managed to get access to the footage of this street.

Lucifer took a deep breath, glancing at the cameras around them. He was sure that he was seen by the cameras. If these people discovered that he was inside the building when the SOS came and he left after, they could easily understand everything.
