Chapter 06: Competitor
“I never thought that Gabriel(1)* would really fall…” Raphi sighed softly.
“Becoming lazy despite graduating at the top of her class, acting freely and violating heaven’s shabby rules, being punished by the gods for saving an innocent person who was hit and blinded, these things gradually accumulating, it’s not surprising that she was expelled from heaven.” A delighted smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face.
“If her sister hadn’t lost to you, how could she have been expelled?” A hint of gloom appeared on Raphi’s face.
“Tsk, angel wings are really beautiful.” Luo Feng’s tone became a bit more cheerful. “So, have her new wings grown out?”
“Thanks to you, Gabriel exhausted her divine power to restore them for her.”
Exhausting her divine power was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, causing an angel to be expelled from heaven.
Some irregularities in the human realm weren’t a big deal, but for such things to happen in the heavenly realm…
Sometimes, the laws of heaven were indeed hateful.
“Congratulations, when is the next military competition? In two hundred years, right? My home still lacks quite a few such decorations.” Luo Feng said.
“Hmph.” Raphi turned her head away.
Next time, I must find a way to screw you over. But when she thought of the previous military competition, where Luo Feng hunted angels on the battlefield like a madman, she felt fear from the bottom of her heart.
What was terrifying about devils wasn’t their power, but their minds. If he were a mindless demon with only strength, he would just be experience points.
When devils fought, they usually tried their best to set traps, but Luo Feng was like a combination of demons and devils. He was crazy when he needed to be and rational when he needed to be.
Now that he had taken a civil service direction, quite a few higher-ups in heaven breathed a sigh of relief.
‘I am your savior. As long as you want, I can restore your legs, but with a small price. I believe in equivalent exchange here.’
Luo Feng’s hands didn’t stop as he continued to deceive that person.
For him, that military competition was just an episode in his devil career.
‘What price? As long as my legs can be restored, I am willing to accept any price!’
Seeing his words, Luo Feng showed a delighted smile.
“The most ridiculous answer.” Raphi commented on the human on the other side. “Facing a devil, he actually said he’s willing to accept any price.”
“It’s just information asymmetry.” Luo Feng said, “You’re not going to stop me?”
As he spoke, he opened a contract in a folder and pressed remote send.
“Stop you in your store? Or fly over to stop him?” Raphi laughed. “If I did that, you would definitely use it as an excuse to fight me, right?”
“You’re scared? You’re an angel, you know.” Luo Feng’s gaze finally fell on her. “You are justice, and justice will surely triumph over evil.”
“Yes, scared.” Raphi nodded seriously. “You’re just bullying me. If you have the guts, go fight the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”
“When there’s a chance.” Luo Feng didn’t care about her provocation at all.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, a contract appeared on the computer. The other party had pressed his handprint, which wasn’t an ordinary handprint but a soul imprint.
“What are you going to do? Directly take over his remaining lifespan and his soul?” Raphi’s heart tightened.
What were the higher-ups thinking, letting a devil of this level appear in reality?
“No, I’m not that tasteless.” Luo Feng said, “I’ll restore his legs and take away his sight and taste. He can go anywhere in the world, but he will never be able to see the scenery he wants to see or taste the delicacies of various places. Food and scenery are his greatest hobbies.”
“…” Raphi clenched her fists. “You might as well kill him directly.”
“To gain something, you must learn to lose something.” Luo Feng sneered. “There’s no free lunch in this world! You think he’s pitiful? Then you go save him, at the risk of being confined or expelled from heaven.”
“Phew…” Raphi let out a long breath.
She didn’t dare, and it was impossible for her to do so.
Even before she became an official angel, she hadn’t done such a high-level violation for a friend. In contrast, that fallen angel did it without a second thought.
“When devils do things, they pursue a pleasant mood and an unequal transaction.” Luo Feng’s gaze finally settled on Raphi. “Don’t treat devils as good people.”
“There’s a special case.” Raphi said decisively.
“That’s why she went to heaven. Hell isn’t suitable for her. It doesn’t have an environment for her to survive. Even I can’t stand that hateful holy light.” Luo Feng looked at the screen again. “Tell me your intention. You’re not here to reminisce, are you?”
At this point, it was Raphi’s turn to be delighted.
“With the reform of the hell system, all devils have to work. Lord Belphegor directly chose to retire due to being too lazy and randomly selected a devil as his agent…”
“I, the devil who was randomly selected, have nine pairs of angel wings hanging in my home.” Luo Feng said calmly. “In Lord Belphegor’s interview, he would definitely choose the first interviewee to be his agent because he’s too lazy to choose. What do you think I relied on to be first? The kindness of other devils?”
Raphi rummaged around and took out a folder from her cleavage. She opened it on her own, took out the papers inside, and handed them to Luo Feng. “So, the fallen angel you admire wants to compete for the position of this Lord.”
Luo Feng raised his eyebrows. “A newly fallen angel wants to compete for the position of a Lord?”
“Times have changed.” Raphi sighed. “In the past, hell and heaven would never interact. They would start a war as soon as they met. But now it’s different. Everyone minds their own business and develops peacefully. After all, a war between heaven and hell benefits no one.”
“This is the position of a Lord.” Luo Feng sneered. “Gabriel’s kind heart hasn’t disappeared, and she still wants to be a devil?”
He was referring to the name of that fallen angel.
“This is a compromise from hell.” Raphi said, “Don’t forget, your Vignette(2)* from hell became an archangel. I’m not here to negotiate. I’m here to notify. Laziness among the Seven Lords is symbolic. It seems that there’s no need to do too many things a devil should do. As long as I help her, Gabriel is fully capable of competing.”
Luo Feng showed a meaningful smile. “Whatever, I don’t care about competition. When you fall and become one of us, I’ll press you under me and make you my exclusive succubus. What grudge do you have against them to send you to notify me? Believe it or not, I’ll pluck your bird feathers clean. The most heaven can do is strongly condemn it.”
“It’s not like I decided this.” Raphi showed a pitiful expression.
“You want to reason with a devil?” Luo Feng sneered and grabbed Raphi’s shoulder, his gaze sweeping over her buttocks.
