The King and the Overlord: Infernal Bonds

Chapter 2

After spending a day at the hotel with his daughter and her friends, it was time for both Lucifer and Alastor to head to the Overlords' meeting.

Charlie: And remember, under no circumstances should you try to kill each other again.

Lucifer: Yes, dear, we got it.

Alastor: I highly doubt someone as special as you can understand something like that, sir.

Lucifer: Just so it's clear, he started it.

Charlie: Just promise me you'll behave.

Lucifer: I promise, daughter.

Alastor: Loud and clear, pal.

Charlie: Alright, have fun.

Lucifer: With this clown? I doubt it.

Alastor: The feeling is mutual.

Charlie: I hope this is a good idea.

During the ride to the meeting, everyone they encountered kneeled before Lucifer, as they knew what the King of Hell was capable of when he decided to get serious, an attitude that Alastor had never seen in them, as they normally hid from him.

Alastor: It must feel amazing to see people look at you with respect. They always look at me with those beautiful smiles full of terror.

Lucifer: It's not respect, it's still fear. They believe that if they don't show a bit of respect to me, I'll erase them from existence. Although these things don't interest me, they never did.

Alastor: Really? You have all the rings under your control, even the Seven Deadly Sins and Overlords. If I were you, I'd do some things to have fun.

Lucifer: Like torturing the damned souls?

Alastor: That would be glorious.

Lucifer: Maybe for you.

Alastor: And we've arrived, although a little late.

Both stood in front of the building where the meeting would take place, the same building where Carmilla Carmine conducted her business regarding the trafficking of angelic weapons.

Lucifer: Carmilla?

Alastor: So, you know her.

Lucifer: It's been years since we last spoke, and I owe her a lot for providing Charlie with the angelic weapons, although I think she charged all that expense to my card.

Alastor: Very well, let's go in, but I would recommend entering last, my lord.

Lucifer: And why would I do that?

Alastor: To make an impression, and believe me, I'm an expert at that.

Lucifer: Well, I have nothing to lose by trying.

The two entered the building to head to the meeting room, but Lucifer remained waiting outside. Alastor, on the other hand, entered the room to see all the Overlords staring at him.

- Alastor, It's rare to see you arrive late to a meeting.

The one who spoke was a sinner with a face resembling a spider while his body was covered by a trench coat.

Alastor: Zestial, old friend, forgive me for the delay; I had a little mishap.

Zestial: To be honest, I thought you were dead after the extermination.

-If it isn't the nerve to show yourself after your pathetic defeat.

The one who spoke was a technological demon whose head was shaped like a television; next to him were his two companions whose territory was under his command.
