He flew towards the deep blue mansion. The mansion was just as big as the other mansions, but there was one difference. The other mansions still didn't make the owner as evident as this one. 

There were two big statues at the entrance of Thunder Lions. 

There was also one big garden right at the entrance. A person had to walk through the garden to get to the real entrance. 

He noticed a group of Thunder Lions standing in the garden. There was a big hole before them, which they had finished digging. 

Right beside that hole, the body of Lynx was lying. 

Lynx's father picked up his body and walked inside the hole. He placed the body inside the whole with full respect before stepping out.

He picked up a fistful of dirt and tossed it on Lynx's body. The other Thunder Lions also started filling the hole, burying Lynx. 

Soon, the entire ground was leveled. After speaking some inaudible words, the Thunder Lions walked back inside the house with a heavy heart. 

Lucifer saw the main entrance of the house that was used by the Thunder Lions, but his main focus was on the windows and the other weak points in the mansion that could be used by him. He Circled around the mansion from the sky to see it from all around. 

Ultimately, he ended in a position from here when he had a clear view of the two statues. 

He turned to go back, stopping abruptly. "Did I just..."

He hastily looked back towards one such window of the mansion. He was able to see something through the window, which stunned him. 

Without worrying about being caught or the other risks involved, he flew straight to the window.

Through the window, he stared inside, still not believing his eyes. His heartbeat fastened slightly. 

He changed his hand to claws and sliced the glass and the lock in the window. After unlocking the window, he reached his hand inside and picked up something. 

"This... Is hers...." He muttered blankly, noticing the pitch black gloves. These were the gloves that were worn by his mother to control her decay. 

They looked slightly decayed. It was also clear from the dust on them that they weren't worn in a long time. 

"How is this here? She only had two pairs. One was left behind, and the other was worn by her before she died. How did this end up here...?"

He jumped inside the room and started observing the room. 

It was an ordinary room with one bed and some decorations. It was like the guest house in the Snow Clan Mansion that wasn't used by someone. 

He rubbed his chin as he walked closer to the bed. He looked under it, not finding anything. He even raised the mattress to check under it, but there was nothing except dirt. 

He sat on the bed, lost in thought. 

"How is this possible? How can it be here? Something similar to what happened with the Sword Piece? Did a Summoned Beast bring it back? Still, why would it be in this room?"

"The Thunder Lions won't allow any lowly beasts here. And the High Beasts can't be summoned by ordinary people."

"It only makes sense if someone summoned the Thunder Lion inside the cave and he brought back the gloves? But who could be strong enough to summon a High Beast?"

He started scratching his head, confused. He kept the gloves in his pocket before he stood up. He looked towards the window before looking at the gate, wondering if he should check the house to find something. 

There was a sudden urge inside his body to forget everything else and try to get to the end of it, but he ultimately controlled his urge. 

He needed a second set of eyes. Since he was going to come with Salazar, he decided to leave it for later. 

There was one change in the plan though. The previous plan was that they were going to take the stone when the man was sleeping and escape. 

However, now the plan was for them to take the Thunder Lion Patriarch hostage to get the answers from him. 

He jumped out of the window and flew away, carrying the gloves with him. 

His heartbeat still wasn't calm as he had received a clue about his mother. He was praying that she was going to turn up alive, but he knew that it was just wishful thinking. 

The Dungeon Dweller could easily eat the body, but it wasn't difficult for the glove to be left behind. Maybe she took off one glove for some reason before drinking the poison, and that glove was left behind. 

That was something that he found feasible. He didn't keep his hopes high either. He didn't want to be too optimistic to be disappointed later. 

He tapped his chest. "Calm down. No need to be too excited." 

He landed before the Snow Wolf Clan Mansion and went back to his room, shutting the doors. He didn't even interact with Salazar and others, straight dropping to the bed, closing his eyes. 

He tried sleeping to calm his excitement, but he couldn't even sleep. 

"Argh! This is frustrating!" He stood up again and left the mansion, unable to calm down. 

He flew away again, however this time, he flew towards the cliff instead, which was used by Amelia last time.

The cliff was entirely empty as no one was here yet. It didn't matter. He stepped to the edge of the cliff and took a deep breath. 

After taking a full breath, he yelled as loud as he could. "Aaaaaa!" 

After a long and hearty tell, he calmed down and sat on the edge of the cliff. 

He kept staring at the bottom of the cliff. 

"Looks like you're the upset one today. What happened? I thought you'd be happy since your plan worked and your enemy is gone?" 

"What are you doing here?" Lucifer asked. 

"You're at my safe place, and you're asking me what I'm doing here?" The red-haired woman asked, stepping closer to him. She also sat beside him, her legs hanging in the air. 

"So, what happened to you? Why are you upset?"

"Upset? I won't say I'm upset. I'm just... I don't know how to describe it. It's like there's a door before me, and if I open it, I'll only get more disappointment, but if I don't open it, I'll regret all my life."

"So open the door? Why care about anything else? Who knows, there might not be disappointment on the other side of the door?" Amelia responded.
