Inhuman Warlock
chapter-170

"Good," Kellian expressed before he shifted to look at Caen.

"Protect him and bring him back safe. And if you see any sign of danger, leave instantly and inform us. Moreover, keep that thing on so we can contact you if there's something urgent," Kellian told Caen.

"I will," Caen calmly replied before he gestured for Lucifer to come with him.

Lucifer and Caen entered the helicopter under the watchful eyes of Kellian and Yaliza.

The roof above the helicopter opened, revealing the bright and beautiful sky before the helicopter started flying as soon as Caen closed the door.

Only two people were leaving the base this time— Caen and Lucifer. Caen didn't bring anyone else with him since it wasn't a war mission. And in missions like these, it was important to bring as few people as they could.

As the helicopter left, the opening in the roof closed. Kellian and Yaliza started walking back, talking amongst themselves.

"Are you sure we're doing good by believing in Predictor so much this time? Even though there's a ninety percent chance that Lucifer will return safely because APF will be busy in damage control, still, I think we should have gone too," Yaliza told Kellian as he walked beside him.

"Didn't we already talk about this?" Kellian inquired. "Don't worry about this. Even though he's only right ten percent of the time but still, his prediction that Lucifer will go with Caen and he will return safely should be right."

"Moreover, he was right last time too. Don't worry about Lucifer. We should go according to his prediction and let Lucifer be alone with Caen," he continued. "Instead, place our focus on APF. It's going to be fun watching it when the footage is released. Come."

....

Caen and Lucifer were sitting in the helicopter, not talking much.

It was Caen who started speaking first as he told Lucifer, "It's going to take six hours for us to get there. We should be there in the afternoon. We'll stay the rest of the day and come back. We'll be back home by tomorrow morning. Short and sweet."

"Hmm." Lucifer didn't respond much except for one word.

He was already told how long it was going to take. So he didn't mind. As for talking about Veracity, he wanted to do that when it was time to come back.

"So, how did your training go? I heard you made great progress?" Caen asked, starting the conversation again after another hour passed.

"It was good," Lucifer replied. "I got to learn a lot."

"That's better. So, after spending a month with us, what are your opinions? Do you feel like home yet?" Caen asked.

"Like home?" Lucifer muttered before he shook his head.

"I only had one home, and I'll never feel like that again," he replied.

"I heard about computers, and I was told that I'd be taught about them after I return. Do you know how to use them?" Lucifer asked Caen, finally contributing to the conversation.

"I do. I doubt there would be many people who don't know about this," Caen replied.

"Can you find anyone from that? Information about any person?" Lucifer asked.

"Yeah, it's pretty easy. There is a thing called the internet. It contains information about many people. But I can only find information that's in the public domain most of the time about people of influence," Caen replied.

"I'm not good at hacking like some others in the organization. Those guys can find even secret information that's not in the public domain," he added.

Hearing his words, Lucifer nodded as he thought to himself, 'Veracity should be famous since those people seemed to know about her.'

" If I ask you to find out about a person, can you help me?" He asked Caen.

His question seemed to have stunned Caen a little. Who did Lucifer want to know about? If it was about them, it was probably going to be bad news since not many good things were written about them. Also, Lucifer could read himself now too, so he couldn't fool him.

"Who do you want to know about?" Caen asked, frowning.

"I want to know about myself. After what I've done, there must be something about me on the internet, right? I want to see," Lucifer expressed his desire.

"Oh? About yourself, I can try," Caen nodded as he placed his laptop on his lap before he opened it and turned it on.

Since Lucifer wanted to know about himself, this was perfect. He was sure that only bad things would be written about Lucifer too. After seeing that, even if Lucifer saw anything bad about them, it wouldn't matter.

He'll understand that not everything on the net was true since most of the things were written by someone who most of the time had some personal bias or limited view on things. This could work as a lesson for Lucifer.

He opened the browser and searched Lucifer Azarel.

As he searched, he couldn't help but slap his forehead. He had forgotten. APF only released Lucifer's photo and his evil deeds. They didn't mention his name, so the net won't show about him if searched with a name.

At best, it would only show old things.

It was just as he had expected, which he understood as the search results opened.

Lucifer was sitting right beside him, so he was also able to see. As he looked at the results, he saw a few headlines.

"The strongest couple gives birth to a baby boy, to be named Lucifer Azarel."

"Warlock Zale is now the father of Little Lucifer."

"The birth of Lucifer, will the son of the Variant Couple of the century become a Hero like them? An in depth analysis of experts about what powers he could potentially have."

" Lucifer Azarel..."

"Lucifer..."

" Warlock King Zale and..."

No matter how many headlines Lucifer read, all were talking about him and his family. Moreover they were all related to his birth, after which there was no mention of him.

"This is what comes up with your name. Most probably because your name isn't released to the public yet but let me show you something else," Caen said, realizing that he needed to show Lucifer the dark side too.

He searched again but this time he searched with Lucifer's image that was released by the APF. As he searched, a whole new set of results opened up.

Lucifer read the new headlines, not knowing what to think.

"Loose Variant, destroys government facility and kills innocents!"

" Devil walking free, contact authorities if you see!"

"The culprit of Variant related deaths disclosed. The Young Variant that killed humans yet to be found."

"Stay alert and inform the authorities if you see this Young Warlock."

"APF warns citizens to stay alert and not to approach this kid if seen anywhere. Contact authorities right away."
