Chapter 306 Why Are You Doing This?
There was no one in Michael's room until white light appeared in the room and when it cleared up, Michael could be seen standing in the middle of the room.
He let out a deep sigh as he slowly walked to his bed.
"I just hope none of that happens, at least not now," Michael said.
He was about to crash on his bed when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
The person coming up the stairs was was Nicole but she wasn't alone as her two detective brothers were with her.
"So this is what the house of our big sister's billionaire boyfriend who prefers to keep his name hidden looks like," Spencer said, looking around.
"Is that the way you see everything Spencer?" Michael asked as the three turned their gaze to where they had heard the voice come from to see him standing at the entrance to his bedroom.
"It's the way everyone who knows you sees it," Spencer said.
"Shut up Spencer," Nicole said as she walked up to Michael.
"You didn't tell me you were coming with guests," Michael said.
"Well, they wouldn't be here if I didn't need their help figuring out how to get in there," Nicole said.
"You sent them to the warehouse," Michael said, quickly turning his gaze to the two detectives. "What did you find?"
"We couldn't find anything because whatever they are hiding in there is behind that indestructible door," Andrew said.
"The one that nearly killed me with my own ability," Spencer said.
"The door isn't indestructible, it's protected with a shadow enchantment and can only be broken or opened with a pure blade," Michael said.
"Pure blade?" Andrew said with an astonished look on his face.
"A piece of that thing is crazily expensive," Spencer said.
"Is there no other way?" Andrew asked.
"Unless you can find the witch or wizard that cast the enchantment our best bet is a pure blade," Michael said.
"You should go get a piece of pure blade then," Spencer said.
"That's not how it works Spencer, you have to go through some very long processes before you can be allowed to buy a pure blade," Michael said.
"Oh," Spencer said.
"So what do we do now?" Andrew asked.
"We put every corner of that warehouse on surveillance," Nicole said. "If we can't break through the door, then we'll just have to follow them in."
"That's actually a good idea," Spencer said. "Michael is the one buying the cameras right?"
Michael didn't reply to him as he turned his gaze to Nicole.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked.
"Sure," Nicole replied with a nod as she followed him into his bedroom and he slowly closed the door behind them.
"You two take your time in there," Spencer said.
"What's the problem?" Nicole asked after noticing the worried look on Michael's face. "You hardly get that look on your face."
"Really?" Michael said, sitting down on his bed.
"Unless…. Your mother is visiting."
"No," Michael said.
"Then what is it?" Nicole asked.
"Lucifer," Michael said.
"Lucifer?" Nicole said with a confused expression on her face.

"I know what you're thinking Festus but I do not have anything to do with it," Roy said.
Roy was sitting on his throne with Festus, Jude, and Carl standing in front of him.
It was morning in Asaka now but the sun had not begun to rise yet meaning that besides the light everywhere was still partially dark.
Festus thought this was the perfect time to let the king know of what happened last night because they were expecting a deadly attack today.
"I never said you had a hand in it, I'm just telling you so that next time you will remind your guards to do their job well," Festus said.
"Oh, I see that isn't a problem," Roy said. "Anything else I can help you with?"
"Yes, I need four white stones placed around the Kingdom and by around I mean at the edges of the kingdom," Festus said.
"White stones?" Roy said.
"Yes large white stones, I'm going to need them if this is going to work."
While Festus was speaking with Roy, Carl turned back to see Diana peeping into the throne room from the side.
Diana had quickly withdrawn on making eye contact with him but before she could leave she felt someone grab her arm and that someone was Carl.
"What are you doing Diana?" Carl asked with a low voice.
"I am trying to find out what's going on that everyone has been keeping away from me, even my maids won't talk to you," Diana said.
"Your father is keeping this away from you just to keep you safe, it's for your own good," Carl said.
"I do not like being kept in the dark for whatever reason, if you or anyone are not going to tell me then I'll have to find out on my own." Diana said as she pulled her arm free from his grip and quickly walked away from him.
"Diana," Carl muttered as he watched her walk away.
After the king had ordered his soldiers to start doing what Festus had requested, Carl went back to their guest room while Jude kept following Festus who was outside the castle building now and was heading towards the wall surrounding the castle from behind.
"Where are you going?" Jude asked.
"To meditate," Festus said, still walking toward the wall.
"Can't you just do it here?" Jude asked.
"I usually meditate facing the forest," Festus said, stopping in front of the wall.
"Why?" Jude asked.
"So that nature can calm me down and inspire me," Festus said as he placed his hand on the wall and began to phase through it.
Jude placed his hand on the light wizard's body and was able to pass through the wall with him.
The two had come out through the wall to the back of the castle which had a small river flowing in front of it and a small forest just ahead.
Festus stared at the forest for a while before he sat on the ground and got into his meditating posture.
"You should try this young one," Festus said as he dropped his staff on the floor.
Jude kept his gaze a few seconds after he had closed his eyes and was about to join him when he heard a sound from the forest.
A chain quickly sprang out from there heading towards Festus' chain but luckily Jude was quick to react as he pulled out his sword and slashed down the chain before it could get to the staff.
Another chain came flying in from the other side as Jude quickly jumped over Festus to slash it down.
Seeing that they had been busted, the two hooded figures jumped out from the forest.
Jude was stunned by how they jumped all the way from there to where he was.
"Festus your staff!" Jude yelled as he blocked the chain of the one who had gone after him.
The other one tried to grab Festus' staff but before her hand could get to it, Festus picked up the staff and blasted her back to the forest.
"Arghhhh!!!" She screamed as she crashed into the forest.
p
"Why are they after your staff?" Jude asked, trying to get his breathing under control.
Festus didn't reply as he kept his gaze on the forest.
"Why are you doing this?" He muttered.
