Inhuman Warlock Chapter 827

Chapter 827

In the process, he could even recover his sword, which could help him be stronger. Moreover, slowly, he was also planning to use Jian to take on Atlantis. It was a perfect situation that was made for him where he could use one enemy to kill others.

After he was done taking care of all other enemies, only one was going to be left, and it was none other than Jian. By then, Lucifer knew he could be even stronger by absorbing more abilities and evolving another ability in the process.

Milena couldn't understand what Lucifer was trying to do. She didn't know how far he was thinking of. Even in the past, he had planned to use one enemy to kill others, but things didn't go as planned that time. This time, he wasn't going to let that happen.

"So after we save them, you'll tell me everything I want to know?" Jian asked.

"Of course," Lucifer nodded. "If you help me save my men, it would prove that you truly don't consider me a threat. Then we can work together."

"Sure. If that's what it takes, then I'm ready." Jian agreed immediately. Even though he didn't like working with others, he knew it was needed. His mind had already calculated a few things.

He had thought of all the possibilities, from Lucifer actually working with him to Lucifer betraying him in the end. None of those possibilities concerned him.

"Since we're both ready, why wait then? We'll leave tomorrow. But before that, I need an answer from you."

"What answer?"

"How many of my men were killed here. Are there ones that are alive?"

"How many of them are killed? Almost everyone except that Kellian. I don't know where he ran to, but he just disappeared, leaving everyone else. Except for him, I think we covered all. Everyone else is dead."

"I see...." Lucifer muttered. "Another question. I want to enter the Warlock Council headquarters and use your systems to look for someone."

"That's not a big deal. You can come anytime. Now we're partners, after all. Still, who do you want to look for?"

"Just some people who do research on Variants. I had a question I wanted an answer to."

After a little back and forth as Jian tried to understand what Lucifer actually needed, he agreed. All of them finished dinner, and Lucifer was taken back to the Warlock Council headquarters.

The citizens who were expecting Lucifer and Jian to fight were stunned to watch them walk together like they were friends instead. Milena walked behind the two.

She could feel her heart burning in anger and disgust as she walked with the person who had killed everyone close to her. She had never felt this disgusting about herself in all her life.

Lucifer wanted to tell her everything about his plan, but he wasn't getting the time to do that. He could only hope that she would understand what he was trying to do.

"Turn off the barrier!" Jian commanded, stopping before the barrier.

The barrier which surrounded the building was turned off. Jian, Lucifer, and Milena stepped inside the headquarters.

As they entered the headquarters, they noticed three men. The entire Warlock Council headquarters was only occupied by four people. Everyone else was long dead.

For some reason, those three men didn't question the decision of Jian of bringing Lucifer inside the room. It was as if Jian had already informed them all what he might be doing. Still, a surprise was visible in their faces as they watched Lucifer before them.

They had seen him on the video, and he looked really intimidating but personally, he looked even more intimidating. He was like the Blood Prince who had shed so much blood that he reeked of blood at this point.

Without stopping, Jian kept walking as he escorted Lucifer to the control room. It was a crucial place that controlled everything in this place.

If Lucifer wanted, he could cause a big mess there, but Jian wasn't worried. For him, such things didn't matter. In any case, he wasn't going to let Lucifer touch anything.

"Tell me who you want to find?" Jian asked Lucifer, sitting before his keyboard. "We should be able to locate them. If we can't, we can ask other nations."

Lucifer told Jian the name of the person who had written the book about core evolution theory.

"Hmm?"

For some reason, as soon as Jian heard that name, his expressions momentarily changed. However, no one noticed his expression as his back was turned towards them.

"Who is he? Give me more information about him so I can customize the search better."

"I don't know much about him. He must be a researcher or something with great insight on abilities. Other than that, I don't know anything," Lucifer responded. Even he didn't know much about these things.

Jian started searching for the person.

"Can't find him. I can contact the other nations about this, but I doubt we can find him."

" Alright then, search for the people who researched on Core Theory with Xaen Eandril."

"As you say!"

Jian searched again, but this time the search did bring some results.

"There were three people who worked on a team with Xaen when he was studying abroad."

"Where do they live?" Lucifer asked.

"Apparently in heaven or in h.e.l.l. They're both dead now. They were killed a long time ago," Jian responded. "Anyone else I should search for?"

"Find the person who is the leading authority when it comes to ability cores then."

"I don't even need to search for that. I think I can answer that question," Jian responded, smiling. "The person with the most research papers published about ability cores and known as the leading authority in this department."

"Who is he?"

Jian smiled as he pressed a b.u.t.ton on his keyboard. The screen changed. On the right most corner of the screen was the picture of Jian. On the left were his achievements and all the awards he had received in the fields of search.

"You?"

"Yep," Jian smiled. "Don't go on my age. I graduated from the academy at the age of sixteen. I'm a Warlock, but that doesn't mean I can't be smart and pursue other careers?"

"Now, may I ask why you were looking for me?" he asked, seemingly amused.

Lucifer didn't know what to say. If this guy was the person who could help him, it was a problem. He couldn't tell Jian about his problem. There was no way Jian was going to help him become stronger.

"Do you not want to tell me?" Jian asked. "If you need help, why keep a secret? Just tell me. I'll help in any way I can."
