Chapter 385. Ascended Devil

Seven Sins System Chapter 385. Ascended Devil

I shifted uncomfortably. "Should we change plans? Or maybe put the clones here?" I suggested. Three days of waiting had tested my patience, and I was reaching my limit. Waiting around while my mind buzzed with unanswered questions was not my style.

Puriel glanced at me.

"I have an important dinner soon," I added. The dinner was crucial, and I couldn't afford to miss it. But stuck in this dingy cell, with no end in sight, I feared I might have to.

"Stop your nonsense," she reminded me.

I gritted my teeth, patience was not my strong suit. But here I was, forced to wait in silence. It was infuriating, to say the least. I, the lord of wrath but I had to be patient, I would become an Ascended Devil sooner or later.

I took a deep breath.

Patience.

I needed to be patient.

But it was easier said than done. Every fiber of my being screamed for action, for something to break the monotony of waiting.

"If it weren't for the agreement, I would destroy this place," I muttered under my breath.

"Be patient, okay. Soon or later they will come," she said, her voice steady and composed. “It's been three days and I don't think they starve us for no reason. They're probably weakening us or something," she guessed in a calm tone.

I let out a dry chuckle, unable to hide my annoyance. "Of course, I know they are weakening us," I replied, my tone dripping with sarcasm. "They want us to be more obedient when we are dealing with their 'leader'. But the problem is how long will it last?"

Puriel shot me a reproachful look. "Mortals can only survive for a short time in lack of food and water like this," she explained, her voice tinged with exasperation. "A week or two weeks at most."

"You are a doctor, right?" she continued, her tone bordering on judgmental. "You should know basic knowledge like this."

I couldn't help but cringe in disgust. "Yes, I know. But a week or two? If we were real mortals, we would turn into that skeleton for sure," I complained, glancing at the skeleton beside her.

Seriously, I didn't want to wait that long. I hate waiting. I'm the kind of guy who likes to take action, to seize control of the situation and bend it to my will. But stuck in this cramped cell with nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs? It was enough to drive me crazy.

"Just be patient," Puriel repeated. It was like she was asking the impossible of me, expecting me to sit back and endure this torment with a smile on my face. But I've tried, I really have. How much longer was I supposed to wait?

I bristled at her reminder. "I know, I know," I muttered, my frustration boiling over. "But for how long?" I argued.

Puriel sighed. "We don't have much choice," she said, her tone resigned. "We just have to wait it out and hope for the best."

I lay there on the cold, hard floor. I'd had enough of this waiting game. It was time to take matters into my own hands.

I glanced up at the CCTV camera mounted on the wall, a flicker of inspiration igniting within me. Turning to Puriel, I decided to share my idea with her, hoping she'd be on board.

"Psst! I have an idea, wanna hear?" I whispered.

Puriel's gaze shifted to me, her expression skeptical. "What?" she replied.

I grinned mischievously, the gears in my mind turning. "Wanna make a good theatrical act with me?" I suggested, my tone filled with mischief.

Her frown deepened. "For what?" she inquired, clearly not sold on the idea.

I leaned in closer, excitement coursing through my veins. "For baiting them, of course," I explained eagerly. "If we pretend we're dying, they'll have to come for us, right? After all, they didn't snatch us up just to let us rot in this cell."

At the mention of my plan, Puriel's interest was piqued, and she leaned in closer. "Explain," she prompted.

Grinning like a madman, I launched into the details of my scheme.
