Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 388 - 388: Reason For Bracelet



"Why this place?" Salazar asked, reading the name of the place. "Is the Warlock Council there?"

"It's not," Lucifer replied, bringing another file. 

He placed the second file before Salazar. "This is where the Warlock Council is."

Salazar picked up the second file and went through the first page. 

"If the Warlock Council isn't there, then why do you want to go to this place?" Salazar asked, raising the first file. "What is so lucrative about that place?"

"That place has something I need," Lucifer replied. Will you be coming with me or not?" 

Salazar opened the first file and started reading more but answering right away.

After he finished reading, he finally responded. "When are we leaving?"

"In one week. You can relax here until then."

"Why so late?" 

"I have something else to do here before that."

"May I ask what that is?" Salazar inquired. 

"I need to meet someone and also collect some things before leaving. We also need time to arrange for the trip," Lucifer explained. 

"Just inform me when it's time to leave," Salazar let out, standing up. "Where will I be staying, by the way?" 

"Someone is waiting outside for you. He'll take you to your new room. Don't forget the files. I want you to study up on them. You need to study the enemies we'll be fighting because you can't afford to die there."

"I know. I already read that part in the file. If I die, I'll probably be brought back to life as a servant. I certainly can't afford to die. I'm not losing my free will," Salazar responded, picking up both the files. 

"Wait. Is this why you're not removing my bracelet?" Salazar asked, realizing something.

"Since you're taking me there, you're already preparing for the scenario in case I die? This bracelet, you'll activate it if I die and get turned? Is that right?" he asked. 

Lucifer didn't confirm nor deny, but it was certainly the truth. 

He didn't want Salazar to be used against him since his powers could change the tides of any battle. He didn't want him to fall into the wrong hands, which was why he was leaving the bracelet on him. 

"I'll take that as a yes, but I agree with the decision. Death is better than living like a slave without my own free will," Salazar replied, leaving. 

He stopped in front of the door. Turning around, he glanced at Lucifer as he said, " If I fell in battle and got turned, lock this bracelet again and kill me. That's what I would want too."

He left the room. 

Lucifer was left alone in the room, lost in deep thought. "Not just you, I'll kill anyone who is turned into a Noble. I won't let anyone be used against me, no matter who it is."

...

"John, I'm your father!" A heavy voice filled the room. 

Gasps!

A dark-haired man was sitting on the couch who gasped deeply as he heard it. "The hell? How can Ru be the father of John?" 

The man was completely shocked at the revelation. 

"Jiang, don't you have anything better to do than just watching movies?" Another voice came from behind the man who was sitting on the couch, watching the TV. 

The dark-haired man turned off the TV and turned around. 

"Ah, it's you. I was waiting for you to contact me. Congrats on taking over the Capital. Now you're not only the big boss of Uprising but also the big boss of the entire Elisium," Jiang told Lucifer, who had arrived in his hotel room, unnoticed. 

" Enough chit-chat. Get ready; you're coming with me. A helicopter is waiting for us on the roof," Lucifer told Jiang as he sat on the couch too. 

"Where are we going?" 

"To get the stone which is in APF headquarters. Now that we're done with the other stuff, we can finally get to it. And only you can help me get to that. Don't waste time now."

At the instance of Lucifer, Jiang ran to the wardrobe and soon returned, getting adequately dressed. 

Within ten minutes, he returned after being dressed. "I'm ready to leave." 

He and Lucifer went to the roof of the hotel, where a helicopter was waiting for their arrival. As soon as the two of them entered the helicopter, it took off as its rotors sliced through the wind.

Soon, the helicopter left the Royal City, carrying only Lucifer and Jiang. No one else from the Uprising had accompanied Lucifer except for the pilot, who knew where to go. 

A journey that lasted for close to seven hours ended with the landing of the helicopter on top of the base. 

Even though Lucifer had taken almost all of the Uprising members from here to the Capital City, Vega and Drak were still in this place, handling the systems.

"That stone should be somewhere in this building. There are a lot of floors here, so finding it should be somewhat hard, but it wouldn't be impossible."

" All the security systems are disabled for you. You can go to any part of the building and search," Lucifer explained to Jiang while walking towards the defense Chamber. 

Opening the door, he stepped inside the room where Vega and Drak were sitting, waiting for them. 

"Vega, I already told you that Jiang would be looking for a stone for me. You're to help him with whatever he needs in this," Lucifer told Vega. 

Jiang looked back at Lucifer, confused. "He would help me? Are you not staying here?" 

"I need to get going. I have another place to be at. Take your time when searching, but don't waste it. I'll come back in a few days to take you and that stone," Lucifer replied, patting Jiang's shoulder. 

"Don't worry about anything. I'll help him with everything," Vega chimed in. "This whole place is ours anyway."

"Yeah. Start from the top. I think it's highly likely that Varant hid that stone there. If it's not there, check other floors and inform me about it as soon as you find it," Lucifer said at last before leaving. 

...

Leaving Jiang behind to search, Lucifer went back to the helipad where the helicopter was standing. 

He entered the helicopter, which started flying, taking him straight to the nearest airport where a private jet was waiting for him. 

The helicopter landed near the jet, letting Lucifer step out before it started flying again. The helicopter left.

Lucifer entered the private jet, taking a seat. 

A woman approached him, asking, "Shall we leave, Sir?"

Lucifer replied to the woman's question with a casual nod.
