Inhuman Warlock
chapter-717

"Why does it sound like it was all your plan? You didn't come here to kill me but to use this place as yours?" Jake asked, glaring at Lucifer. "Don't tell me that you intentionally showed yourself?"

"Maybe... Or maybe not..." Lucifer lazily responded before walking back to the window.

"Oh, and one more thing. Before going out, hide the Limiter. I don't want others to see."

"Fine!" Jake left the room, cursing his luck. How was he so careless to get trapped like this?

He stepped out of the room and went downstairs, observing his shadow carefully. He was sure that Lucifer hadn't left him completely free of observation.

He went downstairs, bringing out a device from his pocket. "Everyone can come out. Everything is fine. It was a false alarm. There is no enemy. My old friend came here and wanted to give me a surprise, so he snuck inside."

Every guard received the words of Jake and believed it. They stepped inside the mansion.

His wife was also brought out of hiding.

"It was your friend? And I had to hide for something like that? Tsk." The woman started complaining, unaware that Jake was lying now.

Jake looked at his wife, frustrated.

"Yeah, I was mistaken too. It's been a long time since he came back to the island; that's why I didn't expect it to be him in the first place. My mistake." Jake smiled. He held the hand of his wife. "Come, let me show you, my friend.'

"The rest of you, do what you were doing before. Remove the lockdown. Everything is fine."

He took his wife with him and went back to the room.

Entering the room, the woman noticed Lucifer's back towards her. He was looking out the window. She could only see her dark hair and the clothes and a black robe behind him which came down to his ankles.

She looked at her husband. "Why don't you introduce now?"

"I don't think there is any need for an introduction. I think we had a pretty good first introduction already."

"We did? When?" The woman still didn't understand.

She had seen Lucifer wearing different clothes at the airport. He wasn't wearing a robe. Moreover, many people had black hair on the island. It was especially the favorite look of middle-aged men. She didn't link him with the guy she saw at the airport.

She didn't even recognize the voice as Lucifer was now speaking in a much dominant tone, unlike what he used at the airport.

Lucifer raised his hand, snapping his fingers.

"Haa, what!" The woman started rising in the air against her control.

"Does this remind you of something?" Lucifer asked. "Or do I need to bring the sea in your room for you to remember?"

"Sea... Flying... It's you! That bastard!"

"Bastard? That's not a nice way to talk to the one who can kill you, is it?" Lucifer asked, finally turning around.

Seeing his violet and blue eyes, the woman immediately recognized him. He was definitely the one.

"I was right! You were here! Just because you changed your clothes, you thought we couldn't recognize you?"

She turned to her husband. "What are you waiting for! He's the one! Teach him a lesson!"

Lucifer also looked at Jake. "You know, I do pity your situation. You just had to marry her... I feel bad for you. Still, do you want to tell her something, or should I?"

"I'll handle it. Can you bring her down?"

Lucifer brought the woman down. "Talk to her. Oh, one more thing. Did you tell them to prepare food?"

"I forgot... I'll tell them after talking to her."

"It's alright. I'll talk to them myself. You two have some privacy." Lucifer left the room and went downstairs.

"Like you'll give us any privacy," Jake muttered, looking at the dark areas in the room. He was sure that Lucifer was still keeping an eye.

"What is happening here? Why is that guy commanding you instead?! Why aren't you killing him?!"

The man opened his lips to reply but stopped as he realized that telling the truth would lower his respect in the eyes of his wife. What if she spread the news accidentally? What will everyone think after finding out the truth?"

"The Raasin clan head was defeated by someone without even going through a fight? That too in his own home? It was insulting to him. He knew he couldn't tell the truth.

"I told you, he's a friend. I didn't recognize him since he looked a bit different than I remembered him. You don't have to worry about anything," he answered, keeping up with the story he told everyone else.

"Just forget everything that happened in the past and start anew. He won't stay here for long. Can you do that without antagonizing him anymore?"

"You want me to forget what he did to my father and me?"

"What did he do? Did he kill you two? He just made you stand in the air for a little. Why can't you just forget that small misunderstanding? If you had forgotten, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Jake yelled as his frustration reached the limit.

He was in this problem all because he listened to his wife and went with her to talk to Lucifer. If he hadn't, they wouldn't be here. And even after all this happened, his wife still wanted him to clash with Lucifer?

It would've been fine in most cases, but with the Limiter, he was weak. Moreover, he wasn't even sure what modifications to the limiters Lucifer was talking about.

It was better to give Lucifer a place to stay instead of taking a risk by going against him.

Moreover, he was also slightly intrigued by Lucifer. He wasn't sent by Xaen. Instead, he came to this island to look for Xaen? That certainly meant something. There was some enmity between the two.

He believed he could gain an advantage if Lucifer succeeded in taking out Xaen. It was indirectly a blessing in disguise for him.

"But..."

"No buts! I listened to you long enough. It's time you listen to me! I don't want any excuses! You'll listen to me now! That's my final decision!"

"If you don't listen to me and antagonize him, I won't stop him from doing whatever he wants to do. So only do it if you think you can face his anger alone!"

"You understand?"

After finishing, Jake didn't wait to hear the response of his wife either.. He left the room as well, only to find Lucifer coming back.
