Chapter 324 - 324: Ruthless Queen

He had understood right then. She might superficially support him, but she’ll never actually support him from the core. She was going to betray him someday as her mind was going to change in the future.

This test was proved to be effective. And he got the reason he needed. His wind blades cut Ayn in half as soon as Lucifer felt the temperature decrease.

That was also why he removed her Limiter to give her freedom. He couldn’t always keep Limiter on her as he only had one. He needed to save it for important occasions.

As for Xander, he was already in a coma, so he couldn’t resist either as his body was destroyed particle by particle.

Within seconds, Xander was gone. Nothing but ashes could be seen on the bed.

"Well, doctor. Now you don’t have any patients. You can relax and enjoy," Lucifer told the doctor as he walked over to Ayn. He used decay on her as well.

Only after finishing, he left the room, leaving the doctor behind. He knew there was no need to warn the doctor. This display was enough in itself to make him eternally loyal in fear.

Cassius followed Lucifer, not knowing what to think. He felt like power was corrupting Lucifer. He had forgotten his quest. He wanted revenge on his enemies that killed his parents and made his life hell.

But Cassius felt like something was different. Why did it feel like something more than just revenge? Was it his misconception?

’I’m probably thinking too much,’ He thought, shaking his head.

As for Alicia, she was thinking completely differently from Cassius. She could feel a glimpse of Raia in Lucifer.

The decisiveness to make sure that their mission was successful and worrying about the lives of his allies. She was getting more and more impressed with Lucifer’s way of doing things.

Lucifer went back to the cells and brought another APF member to escort them now that Ayn was gone. It was also someone who had accepted to help him.

"Take me to Varant’s office," Lucifer told the man.

The man escorted Lucifer to the office of Varant.

"This is where he used to sit," he said to Lucifer as he pushed the door of Cassius’s room open.

Lucifer stepped inside the clean office, which looked well furnished.

He walked over to the chair of Varant and sat comfortably. Cassius and Alicia sat in other chairs.

The man who escorted them stood in the back respectfully.

Sitting on the chair, Lucifer observed the items that were on the table. Other than a few files, there seemed to be nothing significant.

He left the files to read later and started checking the drawer to see if there was anything there.

"Hmm? This?"

As Lucifer opened the drawer, he found something which intrigued him.

...

Far away from Elisium, existed another continent. Like any other continent, this one also had many nations. But it had something more that the other continents didn’t have.

The Continent of Triton was known for its different culture. It was known as the Continent of Technology which had an advanced civilization. When it came to technology, this continent was said to be miles ahead of others.

The Continent of Triton had one more thing. It had a Warlock Council.

The Warlock Council was made from the top Warlocks of many nations on this continent. They were the unspoken rulers of Triton.

Within the continent of Triton, there existed a moderately sized country. It wasn’t the biggest country in Triton, but it was the most influential country in this place.

It was known as the Nation of Zeston. Another special thing about Zeston was that it was where the Warlock Council headquarters was.

Currently, a meeting was taking place between the top Warlocks of the Warlock Council.

Inside a massive hall, there existed a big round table. Tens of Warlocks were sitting around the table.

"Why did you call this meeting?" One of them asked as he looked towards a white-haired man.

"Jenilia is back. She failed to convince Varant to give us the stone," the white-haired man answered.

"As I expected. That guy is pretty stubborn. We’ll need to take some strict actions to get the stone from him. In any case, Elisium isn’t the same as before. Without Zale there, we don’t have to be concerned about anything," another Warlock chimed in.

"What about the Divine Empire? Didn’t we send an envoy there too? Did he manage to get the stone?"

The white-haired man took a deep breath as he sighed. "He is dead. Their Queen killed him from what I heard."

" That girl? Don’t you think she’s a bit too arrogant and ruthless? She killed an Envoy?"

" Why are we bearing it! Why don’t we just attack the Divine Empire! Let’s teach that girl a lesson! A girl who isn’t even twenty is challenging the authority of the Warlock Council!"

"We should all attack and destroy that empire!"

"I understand your sentiments, but it’s not that easy. You don’t understand," the white-haired man let out. "It’s easier said than done!"

"She is a Special Grade Variant. You all know her powers, don’t you? She kills our Variants and turns them into her slaves! Moreover, her men are the same! All they need is to drink the blood of a dead person to bring them to life! And that person shares their abilities!"

"If we fight her, we won’t just be fighting her. We’ll be fighting all our men as well! Moreover, that territory is certainly advantageous to her. We can’t invade."

"Why else do you think we’re trying so hard to convince her respectfully?" The white-haired man said firmly.

"So we’ll never get her stone if she doesn’t agree? How will our plans move forward then? Can’t we send our Assassins? Let’s assassinate her? After she is gone, we can conquer that place," Another Warlock suggested.

"It’s impossible. Any Assassins we send are caught instantly. The Divine Empire is a hell! No one can conquer that place. There’s no such person in this world who can do it!" The white haired man said as he smacked his fist on the table.

...

A reminiscent smile was on Lucifer’s face as he picked up the thing inside the drawer. It was none other than the group picture which had his father, Varant, Raia and Zeiss.

"Cassius, look at this picture. They all look so close. I doubt anyone could have guessed that three of them would kill my father. Right?" he asked Cassius, laughing.

"No one can understand what’s in the heart of people," Cassius answered, sighing. "The world is just like that."
