Chapter 28: Gaggle of Lunatics
Beelzebub and Belphegor were discussing their family as the flashback faded.
It was revealed that their father was born to a German father and an Italian mother. He grew up in Italy before being brought to the northern part of Korea, which was vastly influenced by European cultures.
There, he built his empire of crime—the Binsfeld family.
He never married but had two mistresses. One of them produced Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Belphegor. The other birthed Satan, Mammon, and Leviathan.
No mention of Asmodeus’s mother was made by the two brothers.
The scene changed.
Sarah had returned home, but something was amiss. The house was terribly silent, and no matter where she looked, her husband could not be found. He wasn’t in the kitchen, the bathroom, or the bedroom. Slumped in her chair, she absentmindedly tried to call him, but he wouldn’t pick up the phone.
While Sarah was anxious and confused, Asmodeus was in bed with a girl from one of his brothels.
She informed him about how the mistress of the brothel lied on the ledgers. There were more customers on average than she had let on.
"Mistress Bella is stealing from you," the girl confessed.
Asmodeus caressed her head and whispered, "Good girl."
