Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 622 - 622: Poisonous Snake



Milena and Arthur wore the cloak since that was needed. On the other hand, Lucifer simply placed the badge on his chest just for the sake of it. 

After they were done with the identification, Lucifer took them back to the left, which went to the tenth floor. 

"This will be your personal floor. As a head, you're entitled to one. This one was being used by Zhu until recently, but he is gone. It'll be yours. It has everything you may need. Moreover, if you need to contact one of us, there is a phone inside."

"And if you need any more help, you can just ring the bell, and some men will be here to help."

"And lastly, your people can also stay in this place with you. There should be enough rooms. However, if you want complete privacy, they have also been assigned suites on the third floor. You can tell them to leave. They should be able to use the lift."

"That will be all. I'll take my leave now." 

Joan didn't waste a single second as he talked rapidly and turned to leave before Lucifer could even respond. 

Lucifer didn't stop him and let him leave. First, he needed to talk to Milena about what was happening and keep his men around the city to stand down.

Andrim was going to return to the city soon. If he saw the city surrounded by Variants, he was going to be suspicious. 

Joan left the floor through the lift, leaving Lucifer in his privacy. Despite being with his team, Lucifer didn't feel safe here. He wasn't sure if there were devices that could hear what was said in the room. 

"Are you going to explain what just happened? Why didn't we k-"

Milena didn't understand such things. As soon as Joan left, she started asking her question. Lucifer swiftly stood up and placed his hand on her lips. 

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Milena understood some things. She nodded and didn't speak. Lucifer freed her mouth. 

"I think we should see what the city is like. We were in such a hurry for this meeting that we couldn't even see the city on the way. Shall we go out?" Arthur suggested, smiling. 

"I was thinking the same thing. It could be good to see this city a bit," Lucifer answered. 

He walked towards the lift without even checking this floor to see what facilities it had. 

Without fingerprint access, he couldn't go to the top floor, but the card he had was enough to take the lift to any other floor. 

The lift went down to the ground floor. 

All the staff was told about the position of Lucifer and that he was a leader now. Watching him leave, some men greeted him respectfully. 

The guard at the entrance even asked him where he was going and if he needed an escort since he was new to this place. 

Lucifer directly refused, claiming he was just going out to take a walk. He didn't take any person from the Warlock Council with him. 

The three of them walked through the empty streets, going far from the Warlock Council headquarters. 

"Can we talk now?" Milena asked. 

Lucifer turned to Milena, gesturing to her to stay silent. 

He took off the badge which was on his chest and threw it down. 

The shadow which was following behind him grabbed the badge and swallowed it. 

Arthur also followed suit and took off the white coat which was given by the Warlock Council. He also let it fall to the ground, letting Kellian swallow it to keep it away from them and safe as well. 

Milena took a deep breath. She also took off her coat and gave it to Kellian. 

"So much hassle," she said after Kellian finished swallowing everything. 

Lucifer didn't stop even now. He also gave the card to Kellian. The cards of Milena and Arthur were already in the pockets of the cloak that they gave to Kellian. 

"Now we can talk. We can't be sure which thing might be bugged. I don't want them to hear us," Lucifer replied, walking casually while observing his surroundings. 

"So tell us now. What happened in the meeting room. Why didn't you attack them or call us inside?" Arthur asked. "And what is the information you received about the stones?"

"That information is certainly what made me change my mind. Apparently, the stones are an immense source of power. And they've used these stones to empower a weapon that they claim is so strong that it can destroy anything. They call that the Sword of Heaven," Lucifer replied. 

"So you were scared of the weapon? Is it really that powerful?" Milena asked. 

"The way they talked about it, that does seem to be the case. They're really proud of it. And it makes me think it might actually be powerful," Lucifer responded. "And that weapon is with Andrim if my guess is correct."

"The guy who wasn't physically here?" Arthur asked. 

"Pretty much. According to them, only Andrim is allowed to use the weapon. And it's in his protection. Even though he didn't tell me where exactly, I think he must be traveling with that Sword," Lucifer said. "I want to wait for his arrival before doing anything."

"I don't want to leave a poisonous snake with a powerful weapon lurking in the background," he further continued before bringing out his glasses from his pocket. 

He wore the glasses. "Contact Salazar."

The glasses established a secret connection with Salazar, who was waiting near the border of the city. 

"Salazar, I want you to take everyone and go back to the village. And wait for my next command."

"Did something go wrong?" Salazar asked. 

"Hmm? No, nothing series. There's just a little delay in the plan, and I need to wait for someone's arrival. Just do as I say. Take them back and keep them away from the city. No one should know that we are here in such quantity."

"Alright. I'll take them back."

"Oh, one more thing. Eve is there with you, right? Can you get her on the call? Give your phone to her."

"Right away." Salazar nodded. "Huh? Where did she go? She was right here not long ago. I... Give me a moment. I'll find her."

"No need," Lucifer said, frowning. "I have eyes on her."

He could see Eve in the distance, waving at them. 

"Take the people back, and that'll be all. And handle the rest.." Lucifer took off the glasses and kept them in his pocket.
