Inhuman Warlock
chapter-565

Lucifer reached the Snow Wolf Clan Mansion with the others.

Gon's house was already destroyed, so he couldn't live there. Moreover, Hun had convinced his father to let Gon stay in the guest house with Lucifer for a few days, so they didn't need to go out.

After a bit of back and forth and trying to convince his father, his father had finally given up. Albeit, Hun's uncles weren't particularly happy with the decision. Since they accepted the other decisions, they accepted this one as well.

Since everything was decided, they all entered the mansion. Lucifer and his teammates went to the guest rooms. Gon wasn't given a special room. He was to stay with Salazar, who could keep an eye on him.

Lucifer left Jenilia in the room with Gon while taking Salazar to his room to talk about something.

"I saw it."

"Saw what?"

"You know I am after some stones like these," Lucifer replied, showing Salazar the two stones he had. "I saw the third one. It is being used by the leader of the Thunder Lion Clan."

"Let me guess. You want to steal that?" Salazar asked, frowning. "Is that really important? It's pretty risky if you ask me."

"Not me; we will steal it. The Thunder Lion Clan will be really impatient today, and we don't have much information about them. So we'll go tomorrow. Stay prepared. Tomorrow night, we shall rob the Thunder Lions."

"What if Gon is summoned today?" Salazar asked.

"Then we'll just have to miss the flight back home," Lucifer replied. "We can always get back home, but we can't get a chance to retrieve this stone."

"Sigh, I know the stones are special for you, but I still don't know why. What do you want to achieve with the stones?"

"Achieve?" Lucifer muttered, glancing at the two stones in his hand. "You'll see when I have all the pieces."

Lucifer walked out of the room, leaving Salazar lost in his thoughts. Since he wasn't planning to go back today, he didn't need to bother staying close to Gon. Just Jenilia's presence was enough.

Instead, he stepped out of the mansion to get some fresh air.

Instead of sitting before the door where anyone could see him, he flew up, landing on the roof.

He sat on the roof, from where he could observe his surroundings.

Since the sun was shining too brightly, he used a bit of his ability to call forth a cloud above his head to give him some shade as he laid on the roof.

He closed his eyes and tried to think of a plan that could help them snatch the stone swiftly without risking themselves.

'I can try to have the High Beast clans fight and steal the stone after the Thunder Lion is killed. But it would take a long time. And there's no certainty that it'll work. The leaders won't fight to the death so easily. They aren't kids.'

'I can bring him out of his mansion and attack him outside? He'll be pretty alert outside his mansion. A person is more confident inside his own home. And he'll have his guard down too. I can sneak in at night. But they'll probably have guards too...'

'Still, that seems to be the best option. Steal it inside his house when he's sleeping. Salazar will be a massive asset in taking the stone with his ability if things go wrong.'

He had no idea what the Thunder Lion mansion looked like, but he had started fine tuning the plan, depending on the number of Thunder Lions he had seen.

"That's it. That should do it." He opened his eyes and sat straight after half an hour.

"What should do it?" A man's voice came from the back. Lucifer turned around, frowning.

"It's you." He looked at Hun's father. "

"You didn't answer. What should do it? What were you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about dinner. I was wondering if I should go to the forest myself to pluck some fruits, but then I dropped the plan, thinking the great food you serve should do it."

"Is it really about food or something more?' the man asked.

"Don't answer. I am not interested in hearing your lies. Just remember, you might have fooled my son, but you can't fool me. I saw through your lies a long time ago. You aren't a High Beast, are you?"

Lucifer squinted his eyes but quickly controlled his emotions. "What nonsense? What am I if not a High Beast?"

" You're not a beast at all, let alone a High Beast. But it's the first time my son has made a friend. He thinks you're a High Beast. It gave him confidence in interacting with High Beasts. I didn't want to break that illusion for him, so I didn't say anything. But don't think you managed to fool me." The man took one step forward. The temperature in the surroundings decreased.

Lucifer didn't answer and stood his ground.

"So here's what's going to happen. Two days... I'm giving you two days. I don't want to see you after two days. I don't care what excuse you make, but after two days, if I saw your face, I'll kill you," The white-haired man said. "That shall be all."

He turned around, flashing his robe, and jumped down.

"Two days huh... That would be enough for me..." Lucifer also jumped down, not realizing that there was another person who had heard their conversation.

With his hands in his pocket, Lucifer walked inside the mansion. He informed Salazar that he was leaving for some reconnaissance of the Thunder Clan Mansion.

"Shall I come too?"

"No. I'll be enough. I'll just locate the place and come back. Nothing special." After he finished speaking, he left the mansion again.

This time, he flew high in the sky to get a clear view of the city. He had already seen where the Thunder Lions had run to. If his assumptions were correct, the house was in that direction.

He made sure to stay high in the sky to make sure that no one was able to see him easily.

Finding the Thunder Clan Mansion was also an easy feat. All he had to do was find the biggest mansion in that part of the city, and that's what he did.

From his height, he was able to see the Thunder Lion clan mansion, the Phoenix Clan Mansion, and even the Golden Rhino Clan Mansion, but he was only interested in one of them and that's where he went.
