Chapter 49: Lucifer Morningstar
July 21st. Me and Lars were about to meet up with the others after our shift at the Hazbin Hotel when we saw Charlie talking to someone next to the hotel. He was wearing all white.
"No, Dad." Charlie said to him, "The Phantom Thieves have nothing to do with the hotel, I'm serious."
It was Lucifer…
"Hmm… I see…" He said, "I'll get to the bottom of this in the meantime. For now, remember what I said?"
"Don't take shit from others, right?"
"Heh heh heh… You remember your old man well."
Lucifer himself walked away. He looked at me and Lars and smiled.
"Excuse me, I have to be on my way." He said as he left the area,
"Don't tell me that's…" Lars said,
"Yes, that's my father." Charlie said as she looked at us, "Lucifer Morningstar."
Lucifer is Charlie's father… They do look so alike.
"Wow…" Lars said, "Your father looked calm."
"Of course! He went crazy the first he saw The VVVOverlords turning themselves in for their crimes." Charlie said, "But now he's calm and tries to find a way to stop The Phantom Thieves."
"Well… Good for him. Me and Ren will be on our way then."
"Alright. Stay safe!"
Later, me and my friends gathered in Cattleya's apartment before we headed out to Astrid's.
"Lucifer knows about The Phantom Thieves, huh?" Cattleya said, "And he's trying to find and get rid of us?"
"Probably from what Charlie told us." Lars said, "Right after we stole the hearts of Overlords Velvette, Valentino and Vox, he freaked out and is now calmly looking for backup."
"Well, guess we gotta be careful with him in our way." Willow said,
"I mean, this is Pride, the toughest for any sinner to be in!" Boris said, "And look at Ren! He's the only Sinner on the team! The rest of us are Hellborns from different rings!"
"I think I heard from someone that sinners in Pride can't leave to go to different rings." Selene said, "Not even for a vacation."
"You gotta be kidding me!" Lars said, "But how come Valentino and Vox get to go on private vacations when they're sinners?!"
"Maybe they do, but only in Pride." Willow said,
"Maybe, or Lucifer might give them the good shit behind our backs!" Boris said,
Cattleya sighed.
"Let's not get too deep into Lucifer." She said, "Because tomorrow, we have to go check on Astrid."
"Right. Who knows what else your friend is plotting until August 15th." Lars said,
