Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 520 - 520: Known

If they surrendered, they could make any excuse. And he was ultimately going to be let free since he was from a Great Family. That was the best option at the moment. Even though he was going to get scolded by his father and interrogated, he had faith that he could handle that.

"Good decision," Xaen said, nodding. He snapped his fingers, making a spatial thread appear around Cassius, which tied both his hands. He did the same with Alicia.

As Alicia was still standing, he waved his finger, using his space control to bring Alicia to her knees as well.

He stepped ahead and sat on one of the boxes, using it as a seat.

"I had a feeling that someone was here to steal the Limiters, but I didn't know that it would be a direct member of the Zaini family. I'm surprised your father sent you here? It doesn't seem like something he would do."

"Yeah. Even the Great Families won't send their direct heir to steal when they have better people for it," Grandpa Chi agreed. "If I'm not wrong, they probably came on their own."

"I was thinking the same thing," Xaen agreed. "But that's also an amusing thing. Why would Cassius come to steal Limiters?"

"Then again, he is certainly friends with that guy," he added, smiling. "So, tell me, kid. Did Alex, I mean, did Lucifer send you to steal the bracelet?"

Cassius grew stunned. How did this guy guess that?

"You're wrong. I wanted some of these bracelets for myself," he answered.

"If you wanted it enough that you were willing to steal, you couldn't tell your family. They would've sent experts. But you personally came here. That makes me think that it's related to something you don't want your family to know?"

"And in that case, it's most likely related to Lucifer. I mean, you went to Elisium where Lucifer stays, as soon as the academy was closed. So don't tell me it has nothing to do with it?" he asked.

"You know where he lives?" Grandpa Chi asked, surprised.

He didn't understand how Xaen knew where Lucifer was. Was he keeping track of Cassius? But if that was the case, how come he didn't know Cassius was here? He didn't even know there was an intruder?

"Of course I know," Xaen replied. "I knew instantly after he left. You know why?"

" The day he ran, some Limiters were destroyed by him, including his own personal Limiter. But there was one Limiter that was missing. Just like all Limiters, that one also had a tracer," he added.

"It wasn't hard to guess that Lucifer took it. And through that Limiter, I was able to find him going to Elisium. He removed the tracer in Elisium, but it was enough for me to know his location."

"And Cassius also left the nation soon after the academy was closed. When I tried to find out about this, it turned out that he went to Elisium as well. Not a surprise honestly. These two are working together."

"I didn't care much after that point. It didn't matter what they did in Elisium as long as it didn't affect this nation. That's why I didn't know that Cassius was back. Albeit, he is. And he's already here to steal?"

"Also, if Cassius needed the Limiter for himself, he could have asked his father. However, it was different if he needed for Lucifer. He couldn't ask his father in that case. It's not hard to guess that."

"If I'm not wrong, Lucifer messed around with the Limiter and changed it to his advantage. Now he's probably using it against his enemies, and he needs more of them. So he sent Cassius."

Xaen looked towards the old man, smirking. "Old man, just what exactly is your grandson trying to do? So many Limiters? Don't tell me he's trying to take over a nation or something?"

"How should I know?" The old man shrugged. "Last time I checked, he was only trying to take his revenge. Since he didn't need me, I came back. In any case, a few Limiters are nothing. Let the kid take it. Treat it as a favor to me."

"Favor, huh? If that's the case, I won't mind. But I still feel uneasy about it. These Limiters can one day be used against us as well, you know?"

"They won't be. Don't talk nonsense," Grandpa Chi rolled his eyes.

Cassius kept his head down, hearing the conversation. However, he was actually surprised. Xaen was talking to the old man like an equal? Other than the masters of Great Families, this guy didn't speak to anyone like equals. So why this old man?

Moreover, during the conversation, it appeared that the old man was the Grandpa of Lucifer? Didn't that mean he was an ordinary villager who found Lucifer in the sea? How was an ordinary villager who couldn't even afford a car so close to the Dean of the Academy?

Also, it wasn't just Xaen who was talking to the old man like an equal. The old man was also talking to Xaen like an equal. Just who was this guy?

"Sigh. If you say so." Xaen sighed. He looked at Cassius as he said, "You can take the box. Get out before I change my mind."

"Really?" Cassius asked, unsure.

"Do you want a written letter or something?" Xaen chuckled. "Take the box and scram. Also, tell Lucifer to stay safe. If he doesn't stay safe, his old man will be sad again. And I don't want to see this guy sad."

"My hand..." Cassius muttered. His hand was still tied by the Spatial rope. And he was also restricted by space.

"Ah, right. I forgot," Xaen said, smiling wryly. He snapped his finger again, freeing Cassius and Alicia.

Cassius stood up and picked up the box before he left, taking one last glance at Xaen and the old man.

Alicia also left with him.

The two of them left the Academy and ran back to the car. They kept the Limiters in the back seat of the car and left.

...

"Thank you. For not exposing his identity to the Great Families even after knowing where he was. You could've betrayed me if you wanted."

Inside the storage room, Grandpa Chi thanked Xaen.

"Don't mention it. In any case, your son is like my nephew in a way. Moreover, betraying you? I don't want to shorten my lifespan." Xaen laughed. "But don't forget the favor you owe me.. Because I'm certainly going to cash it in someday."
