Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Money is the best
In the container, there were not only that girl but also a few other people, all of them seemed to be the same age as Lucifer, including the mayor's daughter.
Most of the people here were in fear, trembling, some were even crying. However, the mayor's daughter was completely different. Even when she was kidnapped, she still looked very optimistic. Not only that, she was trying to make everyone's mood better.
"You know, my dog caught a cockroach yesterday!"
The girl with red hair and a gentle face kept telling jokes to make the others feel better but it didn't work. They didn't care about the story that the girl was telling.
Lucifer suddenly canceled the use of Shadow Movement, which made everyone there startled. Of course, a young man suddenly appeared from the darkness, so it was obvious that the other people were shocked.
The crowd trembled as soon as they saw Lucifer. Only the mayor's daughter was looking at him with a wary, guarded gaze. It seemed that she was not afraid of Lucifer at all.
'As expected of the mayor's daughter. She must have been trained a lot for this situation.'
Lucifer raised both of his hands to show the others that he was surrendering and he was not their enemy:
"I am not your enemy. I came here to save you guys."
"You saved us?" The daughter of the mayor seemed to be on guard against Lucifer.
"Yes. I came to save you. But you guys don't need to do anything. I will do everything alone so you don't have to worry."
After that, Lucifer went to the corner of the container and sat there waiting. Neither of them said anything to each other, nor did Lucifer have any intention of talking to them. The purpose of his coming here was only to save the mayor's daughter. She would be his top priority.
A moment later, while Lucifer was sitting with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching him.
Lucifer slowly opened his eyes, the mayor's daughter slowly walked towards him. She didn't say anything, just sat down next to Lucifer. The two of them sat next to each other but didn't say anything.
'The atmosphere is so awkward...'
"You really came here to save us?" In the end, the mayor's daughter was the first to speak.
"Believe it or not." Lucifer only answered briefly.
"If I can, can I help? You must have a plan, right?"
"No."
"Why? I can help! I won't get in your way!"

"If I let you die, how can the mayor owe me a favor? Oh, I mean, I don't want anyone to die."
"But..."
"Alright, I'll let you help a little, okay? But then you have to stay here with the others!"
Hearing that, the girl smiled with satisfaction.
"I'm Sierra Morin, what's your name?"
"Lucifer. Just Lucifer."
***
After traveling for about 40 minutes, the truck finally stopped. But Lucifer couldn't tell where they were because he couldn't see the outside.
"Do it, Sierra!"
After receiving the command, both Lucifer and Sierra banged on the container to make a loud noise. The purpose was to make the two drivers go check the container.
As expected, after a few seconds, the container door began to open. Immediately after, Sierra hurriedly ran out. This caused the other two's eyes to turn to her, and Lucifer was able to attack them from behind.
Lucifer immediately stabbed one in the back of the neck and the other in the neck without letting him scream, informing the others.
Lucifer glanced around, he quickly realized that he was in a port because there were many different containers around him and Lucifer could even see the sea in the distance.
"What did you just do?" Sierra asked with a trembling voice.
Lucifer turned to her, he looked at the girl with a puzzled look.
"Why did you kill someone?"
'Oh shit...'
Since Lucifer had killed a few people in Hell and Levy, he was already a bit familiar with killing people. Lucifer had forgotten that killing people was not allowed in this world.
"I didn't..."
Lucifer tried to explain awkwardly but he couldn't say a word. He didn't know how to explain this to Sierra.
"I'm sorry..." In the end, Lucifer could only apologize.
"Alright, you probably didn't have a great childhood. So, shall I go back to the container now?"
Luckily, Sierra didn't extend the topic but just let it slide.
Lucifer nodded. Sierra then returned to the container and closed the door. Lucifer would have to act alone from now on. But that was better than bringing someone who couldn't fight.
Before moving, Lucifer checked to see if the other two were carrying any helpful weapons. But all he got was a sword and a whip.
'Don't these guys have any guns or bullets?'
***
While moving, Lucifer suddenly noticed a few suspicious people standing around a red container. Therefore, Lucifer quickly used Shadow Movement to enter that container.
He was curious about what was inside that required so many resources.
After entering, Lucifer was completely motionless. In front of him was a pile of money. And these bills were all in 100 dollar denominations.
Lucifer gulped. He had never seen so much cash like this in his life. All of this must be worth over millions of dollars, no joke. After dealing with the guys here, Lucifer would definitely come back to get this money.
'Money is the best!'
***
After exiting the container, Lucifer came across a house, or rather an office. From afar, Lucifer could observe that there were some people talking to each other inside.
Their faces were scarred and looked very dangerous. These were definitely the bad guys that Lucifer had been looking for.
He carefully approached the room and looked inside. He could see eight people in the office, and all of them were holding weapons in their hands.
Lucifer gulped as he stared at his dagger and gun. Lucifer wasn't gulping because he was nervous, but because he was remembering the pile of money he saw earlier.
'Let's finish this quickly and get the money.'
