VERY IMPORTANT: If this book doesn't reach 200 Powerstones this week I will drop it due to lack of support.

"Damn it, how did we randomly run into a Hell Lord? Didn't my master say these SkyFather-level beings wouldn't easily appear on Earth?" Shui Wuhen's back was already soaked with sweat.
If he had some doubts about Raymond's guess at first, then when Lucifer's gaze swept over them, he understood that this was definitely not a fake.
Just one look could make him feel hopeless—what kind of terrifying person was this? Even if it wasn't Lucifer, it must be a dangerous person they couldn't afford to mess with.
From his tone, he didn't put the Kunlun behind them in his eyes at all. What should they do now?
"Is it still too late for me to leave now..." Raymond pretended to open the door. "Why don't you guys chat while I get out of here first?"
As soon as Raymond said this, Shui Wuhen and the others immediately changed color.
Even Ren and Li Yuanlong, who hadn't reacted before, could now tell from Shui Wuhen and the others' attitude toward Lucifer that Lucifer was very dangerous. Their faces instantly turned pale white!
As for Raymond saying that Lucifer was God's most beloved Angel and so on, they thought it was just like Kunlun's Jade Emperor and Water Virtue Star Lord—code names for people with special powers in some organization.
They didn't really think Raymond was talking about the Fallen Angel Lucifer from church legends, because that would be too unbelievable.
But no matter what, they could see that Lucifer was definitely a very powerful person with special abilities, and Shui Wuhen and the others didn't even have the courage to fight back.
Right now, only Raymond seemed not too afraid of Lucifer and appeared to know him quite well.
They were now counting on Raymond to stop him, but suddenly Raymond said he wanted to leave?
Wouldn't that be the end for them...
Li Yuanlong immediately gave Ren a look, seeming to want Ren to beg for mercy.
Ren also saw Li Yuanlong's look and wanted to say something, but in the end couldn't open his mouth.
Because he wasn't that shameless.
Although he didn't know this would happen when he called Raymond over, Raymond was still someone he had called here, which meant he had dragged Raymond into danger.
To ask him to force Raymond to stay at this time, especially facing such a powerful person with special abilities—he couldn't do that kind of thing.
What he didn't know was that his reaction was also seen by Raymond, who thought better of him.
Lucifer continued to smile: "No, no, no. I'm not interested in them. The only one who really interests me is you, which is why I used them to find you."
"Can we leave then?" one of the followers who came with Shui Wuhen asked carefully.
Lucifer glanced at him.
Thud—
He fell straight to the ground, lifeless, dying silently in the car just like that.
"When I'm talking, I don't like being interrupted by ants." Lucifer's gaze was cold.
This scene made Shui Wuhen and the others feel like they were sitting on needles!
They didn't look at how the guy on the ground was doing, because they didn't know if doing so would anger Lucifer again and get them killed too.
When facing enemies of equal strength or slightly stronger, having someone on your side killed might boost morale and make the rest fight together.
But when facing an enemy you absolutely cannot fight against and can only look up to, this rule doesn't apply at all.
Fight together? Not happening.
If they could run away, they would already be gone by now.
Raymond acted as if he hadn't seen someone die, waving his hands repeatedly: "Sorry, I'm straight."
Lucifer was stunned for a moment.
Raymond's reaction was somewhat unexpected. It took him a while to understand what Raymond was saying.
"Interesting, too interesting. I haven't met someone as interesting as you in a long time." Lucifer smiled wickedly.
"So... just say what you want directly. I can't understand when you talk in circles like this. If you think I ruined your business, I can apologize to you, okay?" Raymond said helplessly.
"Not enough." Lucifer smiled.
"Then what else do you want?"
"I want you to join Hell's Angels and work for me." Lucifer stated his demand.
"Okay."
"Huh?" Lucifer was surprised again.
He could sense that Raymond should not be an ordinary person with special powers. This could be seen just from Raymond's attitude toward him—there was hardly any fear.
There were usually only two possibilities for this kind of situation:
Either it was an idiot who didn't know how powerful he was and was being arrogant, or it was someone who was very confident in their own strength and didn't think they would be killed by him.
Raymond didn't look like the former, because as soon as he confirmed his identity, Raymond had clearly explained his background.
Including his relationship with Heaven and his current identity as a Hell Lord.
It was obvious that Raymond knew what a Hell Lord was and knew about SkyFather-level beings.
But in this situation, he still wasn't too afraid of him, clearly because Raymond felt that he couldn't do much with just a projection.
He wasn't surprised by this. This projection of his wasn't very strong either—it didn't even have one ten-thousandth of his main body's power.
It was fine for bullying rookies like Shui Wuhen and the others, but if he really faced a more powerful person with special abilities, he indeed couldn't do much to them.
Of course, no one would easily tear their face with a Hell Lord.
Because if you really made a Hell Lord angry, even if the main body couldn't easily descend, they could still send stronger projections or even avatars to Earth.
Projections and avatars of Hell Lords like Lucifer couldn't possibly have SkyFather-level power, so the Ancient One usually wouldn't interfere.
This was also a kind of understanding between them.
Although the Ancient One was strong, she was still just one person. She couldn't do everything absolutely, or there would be problems.
Even so, there were quite a few powerful people with special abilities who had gone head-to-head with Hell Lord projections.
Any powerful person with special abilities had some pride and ways to save their lives.
There were also those with extreme personalities—if you dare mess with me, I'll kill your whole family.
Facing Hell Lords like Lucifer, they definitely couldn't kill his whole family, but they could kill his believers.
Earth, as a strategic location in the main universe, was one of his important strongholds.
If Hell's Angels was really wiped out completely, that kind of loss would make him heartbroken too.
So even as a Hell Lord, he wouldn't really act without restraint. When meeting powerful people with special abilities, he would still give some respect and not go too far.
Lucifer's projection descended this time to help Hell's Angels expand their territory again.
Although the projection's combat power wasn't very high, he was still a Hell Lord after all. His methods were so hidden that ordinary people with special abilities couldn't possibly discover where the problem was.
But someone had come to his door, which immediately made him curious and secretly orchestrated this scene.
The purpose was to see who exactly had seen through his actions.
In the end, he successfully drew Raymond out.
He could see that Raymond was probably not simple, so he also developed a desire for talent and wanted to recruit him.
Because he would continue to expand his territory on Earth next, and there would inevitably be many conflicts.
If he could have more capable subordinates, that would be even better.
But he never expected that before he even started threatening or tempting, Raymond would directly agree?
This wasn't scientific...
You should know that Hell Lords didn't have a very good reputation in the multiverse, especially with the existence of a scumbag like Mephisto, which made Hell Lords synonymous with cunning, fraud, and other negative words.
Usually when they wanted to recruit someone, it was very troublesome. Sometimes they couldn't recruit them successfully and would even become enemies.
He had already prepared for Raymond's rejection and what he would say next.
But Raymond directly agreed without any hesitation, which made him hesitate instead... Was this really not a spy sent by some rival?
However, after thinking for a moment, he decided not to worry about whether it was a spy or not.
Even if it really was a spy, with his methods, he would definitely have ways to truly subdue them. What was there to fear?
"Very good, you made the right choice." Lucifer, having made his decision, smiled slightly.
"Lord Lucifer, don't be in a hurry to agree. I also have conditions." Raymond suddenly said again.
"Oh?"
Hearing that Raymond wanted to negotiate conditions with him, Lucifer wasn't angry. Instead, he felt this was more reasonable.
Raymond had agreed so quickly that he felt there was a problem.
"First, I won't become your believer." Raymond said.
"Acceptable." Lucifer agreed without any hesitation.
Among Hell's Angels' higher-ups, many people weren't his believers either. This kind of thing didn't only happen in Hell's Angels—most underground cults were like this.
Underground cults weren't like those legal big churches. Often they really didn't have many choices.
Being able to recruit some powerful people with special abilities to work for them was already difficult enough. How could they demand so much more?
For powerful people with special abilities, if they really had to become someone's believer to join an organization, why would they choose underground cults that couldn't be seen in public?
Therefore, except for those they cultivated themselves, most people with special abilities who joined later wouldn't be very devout believers and would find it hard to truly have faith.
Underground cults usually didn't care because they needed the power of these people with special abilities.
Raymond's request really didn't need to be mentioned.
Seeing Lucifer agree, Raymond nodded and continued: "Second, I need enough autonomy."
"Autonomy?"
This time, Lucifer didn't immediately agree because this condition was actually somewhat excessive.
Enough autonomy basically meant you could follow orders but not proclamations. Even if orders came down, you could choose to agree or disagree.
Currently, no one in Hell's Angels had this special privilege, not even Hell's Angels' leader!
