Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Taking hostage

"You don't have all day to decide. Think fast," Lucifer reminded Ayn, who seemed to be lost in deep thought as she thought about what to do. 

She glanced at Veracity, who shrugged as if she couldn't help her. 

Ayn glanced down at the plate before her, which had some of the food still left. There was a spoon on the plate as well. 

She took a deep breath as she realized something she could do. She reacted fast as she placed her arm around the shoulder of Veracity, and she pulled her closer. 

At the same time, she also picked up the spoon and placed the opposite end of the spoon on Veracity's neck like a needle. 

"I'll stab this in her neck if you come closer. She's a part of your team; you can't watch her die, can you?" Ayn threatened Lucifer, who seemed emotionless. 

Lucifer rubbed his chin as she shook his head in disappointment. 

He wanted to tell her to kill Veracity because he knew Ayn couldn't do it. But he didn't say that.
