Inhuman Warlock
chapter-811

"I want to ask about the fourth person. It was the person who looked just like you. According to the sketch, you were there. So my question is simple. Were you there on the day my father was killed? And if it wasn't you, then who was that person who looked just like you?"

"That person didn't kill your father. Your father died from the bullets of your own guards," Lucifer responded lazily.

"I suppose I got my answer already. So you were truly there to witness it," Jian lowered his head, sighing. "So you aren't the son of Zale. It was all a pretentious play."

"It's amusing that you don't age at all. However, it's also amusing that four people infiltrated my home. Three of the four were such powerful people that the world was going to call them Warlock Lords."

"For the greed of some treasures, the great Zale Azarel became a thief and a murderer. For some treasures, the strongest Sorcerer, Clarisse Azarel, became a murderer!"

"Just imagine how funny it sounds. The Great Lucifer Azarel... The Warlock who managed to scare the entire world was nothing but a bare thief who killed mortals for their treasures?"

Bursting into laughter, Jian turned to the man who was holding Milena. "Hahaha, Doesn't it sound funny?"

Even though he was laughing, his laughter failed to hide the anger in his eyes. Such strong people entered his house, all for some wealth, and destroyed his entire family.

It was all for revenge that he went through so much pain all his life. It was all because of them that he could never sleep in peace, always having nightmares of that night.

"I told you we didn't murder your father. We went there to stop some people. Your father was shot by stray bullets that were fired by your own men. Treasures would be the last thing I would be interested in. If you think treasures can make me do something, you're an idiot!" Lucifer responded fiercely.

"In fact, it should be me who should be angry! We didn't do anything to your family. However, you destroyed everything I had! You caused this all! You planned the murder of my father! You caused it all!"

"It's because of you that I had to spend five years in a literal hell and the rest of my life fighting against the world! You changed the entire course of my life, all because you wanted to play god!"

"You call him your father? It seems I was wrong. You weren't there before. Then how did you know what happened? How were you seen at that place? Wait... After that incident, that person disappeared."

"You took a trip to the past?" Jian asked, stunned. "That's why we couldn't find you! Because you didn't even exist until recently! We were looking for an adult when the person wasn't even born! So that's how it was!"

"Ability to go back in time? That's pretty interesting. But if you could really do it, you would've gone back and saved your father? But then you would've changed your future, and it would've been different. Am I right?"

"Still, you could've gone a week into the past to kill me. That wouldn't affect your existence. But you didn't do it. You can't really control that ability, can you? It's not that easy to control time, is it?"

"It doesn't matter. I can't tell you how happy I am to see you before me. The last one who managed to stay hidden for so many years. With your death, my revenge shall be complete."

" My father's soul would finally be able to rest in peace. I would finally be able to put my nightmares to rest!"

"Are you done?" Lucifer lazily responded. "Let me tell you something too now."

"Your father won't rest in peace if you don't release Milena in the next five minutes. Instead, it'll be you who'll be resting in peace because I'll destroy you from inside out."

" Instead of resting in peace, your father's soul would die a thousand times again seeing the kind of end I am going to give his son."

"Hahahaha!"

Jian burst into laughter. Even in this condition, Lucifer was threatening him.

"You know, this girl said something similar before she fought me. You should've been here when I crushed her confidence. Compared to her, you might be a little challenged, but even so, the outcome will be the same."

"Go ahead. Attack with that trident. Let's see what happens. Either my barrier will resist it, or the barrier will break, and it'll fall on us, destroying your friend as well."

"It won't destroy you?" Lucifer asked.

"Me?" Jian looked towards the trident in the sky. "That little thing isn't enough for me."

"However, if you want to rest, I won't stop you. Just prepare to lose your friend, though. Because I'll remind you, she's the last person who I left alive, and that too because I was waiting for her to wake up before I killed her today. You came just at the right time."

Lucifer glanced at Milena in the building. Jian was right. If the barrier broke, Milena was going to be killed. The trident was also so big that it was impossible to avoid her.

Lucifer took a deep breath.

"As expected, he can't kill me. He seems to care for his team members. It was easy to understand from the way he reacted to the four dead bodies. This girl will be his weakness now," Jian muttered, shaking his head.

He was somewhat pleased, but he was a bit disappointed as well.

"He won't attack." Even Joana felt the same. "Maybe it's for the good. When the two sides don't attack each other, the opportunity of conversation increases. The conflict might be solved without battles."

Lucifer closed his eyes momentarily. He felt an inner resistance as he remembered the moments he spent with Milena only recently. The girl was stubborn, but he was also there to help him. It's because of him that she was in this situation.

However, there was another side that was telling him that he didn't need to be weak! The other side of his was telling him to take action and remove his enemy along with his weakness. There was a conflict inside him between both sides.

Lucifer clenched his fist tightly. He slowly opened his eyes. Unlike before, his eyes seemed emotionless now.

He brought his hand down as he only muttered a single word. "Die."

The trident started falling towards the Warlock Council headquarters.
