Inhuman Warlock - Chapter 574

"That’s right. He’s sleeping. But we can’t make much noise. There’s another one sleeping in the next room," Salazar informed Lucifer. 

Lucifer turned the knob and entered the room, pushing the door open. 

Salazar was right. That man was indeed sleeping in the bed. It was quite surprising as well. His only son was killed today, and the man was still sleeping peacefully?

Just because he believed that this guy wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, he wanted to come tomorrow night. That was the initial plan, but the discovery of gloves had forced him to change his plan, making him unable to wait. 

He walked closer to the man who was in a deep sleep. On the way, he even picked up a chair. He took the chair with him, placing it beside the bed. 

He placed the sharp Sword close to the neck of the Thunder Lion Patriarch, holding it in his left hand. 

Using his right hand, he grabbed the earring of the man which had the stone in it. 

Snatch~

Lucifer snatched the earring, not being subtle about it at all. If it was another time, he might have thought about being subtle, stealing it, and escaping, but he wasn’t in the mood. 

The earring of the man was pulled, which made ears bleed. 

"Urgh!" The man grunted in pain as he raised his head, but he stopped as he felt a sharp blade against his neck. 

"You’re lucky. One more inch, and your head would have been lying on your lap," Lucifer said calmly. 

"Now, don’t do anything stupid. Because my sword will certainly be faster than your hand or your transformation."

"Who are you?" the man asked, frowning. "Wait, I recognize you! You were with the boy who killed my son."

"You’re wrong. I wasn’t with the person who killed your son. Instead, I was the one who killed your son personally. In fact, I even used the same sword. And if you don’t listen to me, the sword which drank the blood of your son will drink the father’s blood as well."

"Do you understand the consequences of what you’re trying to do? I can kill you right away!"

"You’re wrong. If you could kill me, you would’ve killed me already. But you aren’t attacking me because you know you’ll die. I know about High Beasts. You’re pretty weak in your human form. That’s why you turn every time. And by the time you turn here, you’ll be dead."

"So, are you listening now?"

"What do you want?" The man asked, frowning. He raised his hand to hold his bleeding ear. "Why are you trying to hurt me?"

After rubbing his ears for a few seconds, he reached out his hand towards Lucifer’s threat. 

Lucifer cast his energy negation on his body again, which he had removed so he could talk properly with the man.

As the energy negation was back, he was once again much faster than the man. 

His hand had just reached Lucifer’s neck, but before he could even grab it, the sword moved. 

A scream filled the entire room while the head dropped to the ground. 

The scream was so loud that it alerted the Thunder Lion in the clan. 

All the clan members ran to the room of the Patriarch, which was now accompanying Amelia and Salazar as well. 

The running speed of the clan member was extremely slow as well. 

"Do I have your attention now? That could have been your head as well. Now yell just as loudly that you were yelling in a dream. Ask your men to leave."

"Are you alright?’ The men started knocking on the door. 

Seeing the speed of Lucifer and his close that sword was to his neck, the Thunder Clan Patriarch was really intimidated, especially since he wasn’t in his real form, and it was going to take time even if he tried. 

"I am alright. Just a bad dream. Go and sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"I am freaking sure! Now get the hell back to your rooms and don’t annoy me!"

The clan members left, shaking their heads. Some did look disappointed, feeling that it was because his son had died that he was behaving like this. 

"They are gone! Now tell me what you want to let me go free!" 

"I already received what I wanted." Lucifer patted his pocket, which already had the third stone. "Now, I only need one more thing from you."

"And what’s that?"

"Answers. I need my answers from you."

"Answers about what?" 

Lucifer brought a glove out of his pocket and waved it before the man’s eyes. 

"Tell me why this thing was in your mansion?" Lucifer asked.

"This thing? Where did you find it? I thought my son lost it when he was playing with it?" The man asked. 

"That’s not the answer to my question. Tell me where you got it from?" Lucifer asked. 

"I received it from a lowly beast who was saying that he brought it back from the other world. He sold me three items. That glove was one of the three." 

"What did that beast look like? Was that a two feet tall humanoid beast named Gon? Did that kid lie to me?" Lucifer asked. 

"No. It wasn’t a small one. It was a pretty tall beast. Just as tall as me."

"Is he from this city? I might know him?" Amelia chimed in. 

"Ah, so you’re here as well. The phoenix, the Snow Wolves, and the Golden Rhinos. In one day, three High Beast clans went against me for a foreigner. Not bad. Just what’s the magic in him?" The man asked, looking at Amelia. 

"Describe his looks. Don’t talk nonsense. My time is precious," Lucifer grimly reminded the man. 

"He had a small horn on his head, which was pitch black. He was the same height as me with similar features. Oh right, he had two wings on his left side. While his right side had no wings, which was something pretty odd," the man described what he remembered. 

"Amelia, do you know anyone like that?" Lucifer asked.

"I don’t. I don’t think there’s a beast like that in our town."

"Are you lying to me?" Lucifer asked the man. 

"I’m not. Why would I lie? However, she is right. She won’t recognize him because he doesn’t live in the city. He was a passerby that was passing from this city. He was trying to sell some things to get some money. And I bought those items," the man exclaimed. 

"You said there were three items? What were the other two?" Lucifer asked.
