Chapter 920 My Beautiful Monster Part 21

LUCIFER

"Tsueno argued back saying you're only doing that to manipulate her, and I can't say I disagree. I have had the unfortunate experience to see with my own eyes what you have done with your victims and those who go against you."

So, Narasaki has encountered his 'beast' on more than one occasion. That's interesting, because it seems like Narasaki has survived those encounters. He has lived to tell the tale.

"But, you truly haven't hurt her." Hino frowned. "Aside from those aggressive bite marks. She does seem healthy and dare I say it? She even seems happy."

Lucifer doesn't say anything to that.

"I will not help you manipulate her further. If her memories come back that is on you to deal with that. However, if your seeing glimpses of her personality like that. I can only think that Sumire would rather live a lie than face the present."

Lucifer frowned, realizing that Narasaki's words overlapped with the ones Sumire told him earlier.

"What does that mean? If she wants to run away from reality- what have you guys been doing to her? Did you make her cry?"

What is she so badly trying to escape?

Hino sighed. "Well, I'm probably going to get hit again if I say this."

"Say it." lucifer commanded.

"The reality she is so badly trying to escape, and the reason why your control on her is strong despite your inexperience with my ability. It's the reality that Yuhi isn't by her side at the moment."

Narasaki is right. Lucifer punched him. Instead of using his darkness or his other abilities. Lucifer continued to punch Narasaki, his fists turning even more bloody by the minute. He didn't allow Narasaki another chance to speak.

He was furious.

'No matter what I do, why? Why is it that man? Terashima Yuhi has already taken her from me for two life times. Why does he get to be with her for a third? Terashima's bond with her is false, and yet there is no doubt Sumire feels so strongly for him. Even to live a lie, because it's too painful for her without him.'

Lucifer wanted to so badly refute those words. But, he knew he couldn't do it.

The reason for his rage is because he knows Narasaki is telling the truth. After knocking Narasaki unconscious, he relocks the cell and steps out. If Sumire truly regains her memories, there is no doubt that the girl will be furious with him. But, she won't simply dismiss the memories they have made together will she?

His thoughts break off hearing approaching footsteps. Lucifer turned to see one of his subordinates. A man around one hundred and seventy four centimetres with grey wavy hair wearing a chinese qiaopo and light grey long coat.

A deep sigh escaped his lips. "Nothing good ever happens when you appear before the mission deadline."

"Uh actually. It's just a short report. Do you remember that mad man you hired a year ago?"

Lucifer frowned hearing those words. "What about him?"

"It seems he has been ransacking our bases. No, he isn't in league with Aki. The bases he is attacking are isolated ones, ones that we don't have many people guarding the place."

At that description Lucifer immediately understood. It must be Toh. Toh must have hired Arata to search for Sumire. For him to hire that man, he must be getting restless.

"Keep an eye out on him. But do not engage."

"Err, you don't want me to bring him in?"

Lucifer shakes his head. "You cannot match him in a fight. Only Sumire has been able to do that. It would be social suicide."

"That almost seems like you value me boss."

"You have your uses."

"Speaking of which, you have a visitor in your office."

He isn't surprised to see Toh waiting in his office. Rather, it's surprising that he waited this long to come here. It did not take him long to realize that Nagawa Akane's went to Toh's apartment upon returning to Tokyo. It took some time for him to gather this information since

"We need to talk."

Lucifer pushes the papers away and nods. "Is this about Sumire?"

"So you do have her."

"I'll confess that capturing her was a mistake. But she was injured after protecting Narasaki. Severely injured, she had her heart ripped out of her chest." Lucifer's gaze dimmed at the memory of the bleeding girl in his arms.

When he saw her in that state. Lucifer truly thought she was dead, that he lost her.

"Your bloodlust. How has it been?"

"Has been very unstable as you know. My beast took over me at that moment. I'm sure you saw the signs on the scene." Lucifer lied.

'This would be a bad time to tell Toh that it wasn't my beast that saved Sumire that day.'

"Why not return her?" Toh questioned.

"I intend to after treating her injuries. However I realized there were more threats to her life. So I planned to exterminate them first."

Toh paused but nodded. "Let me see her. I need to know that your not messing with her.

"She won't recognize you. She has lost her memories."

"I don't care. I'm her psychologist. I want to know if she is still okay mentally."

Lucifer frowned. He wanted to counter those words. But knew that whatever he said would end up sounding like an excuse. He nodded and stood up to lead the way.

"I have been hearing things. No doubt you fed her with lies. But if that keeps her going for now, I will leave it be."

"What are you her guardian?" Lucifer scoffed.

Toh rolled his eyes. "No, but I have been placed in charge of her search for a reason. Even though her friends have made it clear that they don't trust me because I'm on your side. They seem to trust me enough with her." He trailed off. " Tell me something, did she return your affections from the beginning?"

"If you must know she was cautious. Memories or not, the trust issues she has won't vanish like that. But she has gradually warmed up to me."

"Right, because you have been feeding her with lies."

"I don't have to say anything." Lucifer argued.

The main reason he suspect that she started to trust him is to do with his actions. 'I don't have to tell her that she is my wife or concur up false memories. All I have to do is show her that I genuinely love her.'

At those words Toh exhaled deeply. "Right, actions speak louder than words and as much as I dislike your methods. I do know that you love her."

Lucifer blinked hearing those words. "You know?"
