Chapter 482 - 482: Babysitter

'Could it be that she was the one who put Sirius up to the task? That would explain it as well. But why did the Maid go missing after that? Where is she? Was she killed by Sirius after that, or was she killed by Her Majesty? Or could it be that she is trapped somewhere?'

'Only that maid can get me to answer, but even she went missing. Things are getting complicated. If Her Majesty had Lucifer kidnapped, then why? And why didn't Lucifer resist? Was Sirius so strong that he didn't even let Lucifer resist?'

'No. I think it's more because Lucifer was lured away. That's why there were no battle signs there. And he was probably taken out someplace else. To find Lucifer, we need to find where he was taken. I only have until the tournament lasts to find the truth. I must get to the core of it!'

Many complicated thoughts floated in the head of Arthur, who had managed to theorize what happened with Lucifer to the utmost accuracy as soon as he saw the victory of Salazar.

Even though he believed he was close to the truth, even he didn't realize how close he was..

The next set of contestants took their place in the Arena as the battles resumed.

It was five in the evening when it was finally the turn of Warlock Council again.

"Next! Jason and Warlock Council Leader Lucifer, please come to the stage!"

The referee announced the name of Lucifer to come to the arena. However, he didn't forget to add the t.i.tle of Lucifer, exposing his ident.i.ty to the crowd.

"Warlock Council Leader? Isn't Warlock Council the name of the foreigners' organization? Does that mean we would now see their leader in action? Salazar wasn't their leader?"

"Apparently not! I can't wait to see what Lucifer can do. He might even be stronger than Salazar. I am excited to see his performance. It looks like Foreigners sent two powerful Warlocks to show off their prowess!"

The performance of Salazar had raised the expectations of the entire crowd, which were now even more excited to see the performance of Lucifer, who was supposed to be stronger.

A young man walked over to the stage, dressed in a white robe.

"That's a n.o.ble! It looks like Lucifer would be facing that new n.o.ble. Unfortunately, we all know who will win. Salazar was able to defeat a n.o.ble Lord, so a n.o.ble in nothing before Lucifer, it seems."

"That's right. I think a high Lord would have to face the foreigners to take them down. I can't wait for that battle. Generally, a High Lord wouldn't have taken part, but after seeing the performance of enemies, they certainly would!"

"That's right. A High Lord would certainly partic.i.p.ate now. That seems to be the one good thing that came out of it. Can't wait to see a n.o.ble Lord in action!"

...

"Lucifer? This is the last call for Lucifer. If you don't come on stage now, then you'll be out and considered a deserter!" The referee repeated again after not getting a response.

Salazar stood up instead of Lucifer and shouted, "He's not here. You can move on to the next!"

"Hah? Lucifer isn't here?"

"Man, why?"

"If I hadn't seen the performance of Salazar, I would have thought that Lucifer was a coward who ran away, but that doesn't seem to be the case now! Salazar can even defeat a n.o.ble Lord! There's no way that the leaders of the Foreigners would run away from a n.o.ble!"

"What could be more important than the battles! Where did he go?"

"Who knows man. Maybe he received the position of the leader now because of his talent but because of nepotism or corruption? That would mean that he's weaker than Salazar in strength and ran away! That would explain it."

"Ah, we didn't even think of that. That seems to be the case!"

Seeing the absence of Lucifer, most people wonder why. On the other hand, some still found a way to say that Lucifer was a coward with their theory.

Without caring for the reaction of the crowd, Salazar sat back on his chair, observing the response of Milena and others.

Milena remained expressionless as the opponent of Lucifer was declared to be the winner.

"Tsk! That man killed me when I wasn't a n.o.ble, and now that I'm a n.o.ble, he ran away? The coward!" The young man walked back to his seat, cursing Lucifer.

He was the young man who had attacked Lucifer in the Palace, and he was killed by Lucifer for that reason itself.

He was waiting to get his revenge on Lucifer in this place, but he didn't show up, bringing immense disappointment for the young man.

The battles resumed again, and ultimately something happened which most citizens were waiting for.

The name of a High Lord was called to the arena!

After seeing the performance of Salazar, almost everyone was sure that a High Lord was going to take part in the compet.i.tion and it happened as well.

Seeing a High Lord standing before him, the opponent didn't even try to fight. Instead, he surrendered within the first five seconds itself before walking back.

The High Lord also moved over to the second round.

At this point, everyone was sure that the High Lord was going to face Salazar in the tournament, but no one knew which stage it was going to be in.

At eight in the next, the first stage of battles was over, and everyone was told to leave.

The second round was going to start with the winner of the first round tomorrow.

Salazar and his team also stood up and left from the special exit. They were escorted back to the guest Palace, where they were going to rest.

This time, a new maid was also a.s.signed at the Palace to take care of the food.

It was also decided that Feronia was going to stay in the guest Palace with Salazar and the others to keep an eye on them.

"Do you really have to stay with us here?" Salazar asked, sitting on the couch in the Palace. "We don't need babysitters."

"I'm not your babysitter. I'm just here to keep an eye on you, so you don't run away like your friend," Feronia replied.

"He didn't run away," Salazar replied, frowning. "Moreover, why isn't Arthur here instead of you? We need him!"

"Why would Arthur be here?" Feronia asked.

"To investigate the disappearance of Lucifer," A man's voice came from the entrance.

Everyone looked towards the doors, finding Arthur entering the hallway.
