Chapter 39 - The outcome

After everything quite down, Caleb and Zeus decided to check out what happen on the other side of the door. Aurora on the other hand decided to rest after having to go through emotional day. Somehow it overwhelms her and she needed to rest her head. It's been exhausting day. About her husband, true to her character she let her husband and her brothers be. Until they decided to be civilized again she will not interfere nor say anything. Caleb and Zeus only shook their head helplessly. It's nothing surprising. Before they left her alone, Caleb decided to give injection as a precaution.

As soon as he's done, they open the door to reveal the moment of truth. Caleb was shocked while Zeus reaction is just normal as if he predicted the outcome. Aside from Tristan, Harrison and Cole, the others have fainted. And the culprit stood up from laying down on the cold floor acted like nothing happen despite the black and blue on his face. In fact he still look like he can go on one more round. Caleb lost the bet when he look at the state Tristan and Harrison in. Although they're still conscious but they were badly beaten. Just how strong is Cole and how did they underestimated him. When he remember Aurora mention Lucifer, he realize they're picking on the wrong guy. How did Aurora know? Why didn't he use his own Hell's Guard group to search for Aurora? They are more powerful than the Decemvirate. They could easily get any info and could easily raise themselves higher above others. The Hell's group was like a legend that no one dare to offend. Thinking of his passive move and how Cole let people trample his trust and living as if he's a normal naive, innocent person is a big mistake. That's a huge different between the Cole he's been watching for these past few years and the rumors he heard from Tristan. To think that Tristan didn't recognize his own big boss. The Underworld only bows down to Lucifer according to Tristan. Pfft... What a laugh. He's definitely in front of them and Tristan just manage to exchange fist with him. It's still a wonder how Aurora manage to find out who is Lucifer and why is Cole in front of them doesn't match the description that he heard from Tristan. Sigh. He better concentrate on medical world. At least nothing can escape from his grasp except for Aurora's poison. If he ever found that nanny who's been feeding her poison since she was small, he swear he would make that nanny suffer. As well as the people who ordered them.

Zeus seen the whole outcome and leisurely stroll out to the living room before seated on the sofa ignoring the blazing eyes from Cole. Acted like the littering unconscious people in the room doesn't exist nor the panting Tristan and Harrison didn't bother him one bit. He's not the type who would prefer to fight using fist and as long as Aurora is fine and happy he won't have much say nor do anything. Tristan and Harrison who saw the way he acted could only roll their eyes heavenward. They're too tired and are in pain to bother. Zeus and Aurora are the same type of people. The two people that they could not read their thoughts and compete in terms of planning and executing the task. They only know after the deed is done and the conclusion. Trying to guess what's inside the genius's head is like solving the endless puzzles. For Tristan and Harrison who are used to deal stuff with fist and some general planning don't stand much chance to fight with the two geniuses when they decided to combine their head together.

Cole who have been watching silently from the side at the same time glancing once in a while at the door to the room before he took a seat in front of Zeus. Out of all Aurora's brothers he had been wary of this particular person. His whole demeanour is definitely different from others. The warning alarm in his body indicates he's a dangerous person that shouldn't be taken lightly. However he felt somewhat familiar with him. His brows knitted together trying to think if he have met him before or perhaps have any contact with him. And it was at that moment he saw an emblem near his collar and immediately he seem to have seen an image flashes through his head causing an immense headache. The emblem had a fox carve creatively on it with a hint of red eye. If one didn't look close they would have missed that tiny emblem near his collar. But Cole seem to recognize it and before he could ask, he saw the look in Zeus eye who have been watching him closely before he passed out.
