Chapter 1031 Chapter 1031: True Traitors

Although the King of Aquarians wasn't certain what Lucifer did to Alazar, but it didn't matter. He simply asked to show that he was serious about this matter and that he sided with him.

Despite standing in such close proximity to the Draconian whose focus remained on him, Lucifer didn't show much reaction. Although his emotions had flared for a brief moment, he soon suppressed them again.

Alazar was truly curious about Lucifer. Was this guy truly ignorant to not know better? Or was there really something more to him?

"Brother, don't make a scene here." Alazar's sister could feel the atmosphere getting tense. She knew her brother and his temper. Despite living for centuries, his anger was quick to flare.

She didn't want her brother to make a scene here and start a fight in the banquet hall. It wasn't because she was worried that her brother could lose as she didn't even consider that possibility.

No matter how different Lucifer was, she knew her brother's strength all too well. She didn't want him to destroy this entire country in anger. They had a purpose in coming to this place, and they couldn't lose focus of their goal just because of a small conflict with another man.

As for the small trace of killing intent, she didn't think much about it. In the vast world, there were many who could hate another without much reason or cause, just based on their looks.

She grabbed the hand of her brother, slightly pulling him back. "Don't forget what we're here for. You can handle everything else later."

Alazar still carried his frown, especially since Lucifer refused to even apologize or offer any explanation. However, he also heard his sister and remembered their purpose in coming here.

And as far as the young man was concerned, she truly was right. After they dealt with their business, he had all the time in the world to have a 'conversation' with this man.

Taking a deep breath, Alazar composed himself and refocused his attention on the matter at hand.

They had traveled a long way to meet with the King of Aquarians, not key to celebrate his birthday. They couldn't care less about his birthday. They had their own purpose.

Alazar stopped focusing on Lucifer, his gaze still occasionally finding that young man.

Unlike him, Lucifer didn't pay him any heed. He walked past the Draconians, stepping closer to the portrait hanging on the wall. It was the portrait that showed his home planet. It truly brought so many memories to him.

"The Aquarians weren't in the lead as depicted in the Portrait. They were last in the back that day. But still they..." Lucifer didn't even finish his sentence.

From what he knew, the Aquarians were the last in the battle and didn't really take any risk. They were the farthest away from any true battle.

In the portrait they shamelessly showed that they were in the lead during that war. But that wasn't what Lucifer paid much heed to. He couldn't blame them for lying about such details. But the reason he truly felt heartbroken about them was because the Aquarians used to be very close to his clan before the war.

The Aquarians worked for his clan and were able to enter his home world to give reports about various territories. His family treated them like true subordinates. No, they treated them even better.

Initially, the Aquarians didn't even have a world of their own. They were just a small tribe that lived in a world where only one third of the planet was water. And they were always in conflict with the other clans of the world. It was a war torn world where every year, the Aquarians lost many members to war.

However, the ancestors of the Aquarians once day managed to come across Lucifer's ancestor. And from then on, the destiny of Aquarians changed.

It was because of his clan, the Aquarians received a world that they could call their own. This world... The world that they called their own... It was gifted to them by his clan.

Unfortunately, when it was time for betrayal, they didn't hesitate for even a second before betraying his clan. In fact, they were the true cause of it all. Although many stronger species invaded his world and killed his people, but the small clan of Aquarians that remained farthest away from the battle was the worst of it all.

The reason the other clans knew the perfect time to attack when the Ancient Clan was amidst their celebration was because of the Aquarians. They were the ones who leaked this information. They were also the one that told the correct path to invade the Ancient World

In that war, there were many culprits. There were those who raised the rebellion and brought every other clan together. There were those who intentionally flared emotions of various clans against the Ancient Clan for their benefits.

There were also those who directly entered his world or killed his people. And lastly, there was the Ancient Clan which was the worst of them all in Lucifer's eyes. The reason he entered this world wasn't because it was closest to his last target. But he had a reason.

He had walked on the path of destruction to truly detach himself from the painful past and the Aquarians were an obstruction in his quest.

"You!" The King of Aquarians felt his face turn red in anger.

Lucifer had essentially said that his clan was hiding in the back during the war and they were lying with this portrait? This was no different than Lucifer slapping them in the face.

Despite the tension in the room, Lucifer remained calm and composed. He looked at the King of Aquarians with a difficult to understand expression.

"...True traitors."

The King has had enough. Lucifer was insulting him again and again. This time, he couldn't let it pass, even if Lucifer was from Star Alliance.
