บท 267: A delicate balance

"And don't call me Dark Lord, this is not the right time to take my mantle. Just call me Lord Lucifer" hovering in the mid-air, Michael ordered Maxine.

"Yes, Lord Lucifer '' he didn't fly directly to the Silent Reaper but stared at the shivering pirates on the deck. Packard's legs kept trembling, all of his senses were overwhelmed by pure fear.

"Are they loyal to you or Corey?" 

"I give you my word Lord Lucifer, they are loyal to me, no one else" without a second thought, Maxine vouched for the pirates.

"Except him I presume" he glanced at Packard. As expected, Maxine nodded because Packard was not a pirate serving her but another pirate captain who served Corey.

"Kill him"

"As you wish, Lord Lucifer"

"No...no….Don't kill me...Don't"

Maxine's gaze sent a chill running through Packard's spine. He started to shiver frantically while walking backward. He kept walking until he tripped on a piece of wood.
