Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 628 - 628: World Might Not But I Am

He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the kids.

Eve noticed Lucifer looking at the kids.

"Come with me." She held Lucifer's hand, intertwining her fingers with his as she pulled him towards the kids.

Lucifer looked at her hand which was holding his hand.?For some reason, he had thought that he might be annoyed at such actions but that wasn't the case. He didn't feel angry at Eve.

For some reason, he found her different. Despite going through so much, she was still such a free and light hearted soul which didn't hate anyone. She was the kind of person he wanted to be when he was young.

However as he grew up, he understood how naive he was. He never wanted to be that stupid again. He had already made a different life for himself which was completely different. He was happy with it as well.

In fact, he believed he had already achieved most of his goals. After the Warlock Council was gone, he was literally going to have no major enemy as he believed.

Even though he hated his naive self, he couldn't hate Eve for that same Naive View. Also, unlike him, she didn't let the situation change him despite suffering for decades.

Eve dragged Lucifer towards the alley where the kids were hiding which made him wonder what she was trying to do. The kids already looked scared. Was she trying to scare the kids more?

Lucifer stepped inside the alley with Eve. Arthur and Milena followed them, wondering what it was about.

The kids hid behind a dumpster after watching people come close to them.

"Wait here. I'll be right back." Eve released the hands of Lucifer and walked towards the kids in the back.

Seeing no way back, the kids found their back against a wall.

Eve stepped closer to the shivering kids however she simply placed her hands on their heads.

She patted them gently. "Don't worry. We aren't here to hurt you. We only hurt bad people like the one who was hurting you."

"Here, you want some candy?" She asked, bringing some candy out of her pocket.

The kids looked at her. Their eyes were filled with hesitation. "Don't worry. I don't bite. Take one."

"These are the sweetest flavor one that I could find."

One of the two kids raised his hand to take the candy but the other remained still.

After he watched the first pick the candy safely, he also took one.

"Go ahead and taste them. You don't be disappointed."

Milena also placed one of the candies in her mouth and started sucking on it.

The kids followed her. They unwrapped the candy and ate it.

"How is it?" Eve asked.

"Tasty." One of the kids weakly said.

"Thank you." The other kid said.

"Don't thank me. Thank him. If he hadn't stepped in, the mean man might have killed you." Eve pointed towards Lucifer. "Come, let me introduce you to the future King of this world."

The kids were still scared of Lucifer a bit even though he was calmly standing there, intrigued by the actions of Eve.

Eve went down on her knees, seeing the kids still hesitant. She placed her soft hands on the cheeks of the kids and used a bit of her ability to calm their hearts so they could think clearly.

"I am telling you. He won't hurt you. Just come and meet him," she said softly. "I'm with you. Don't worry."

She stood up. "Come."

The kids followed Eve slowly as she walked towards Lucifer.

After reaching him, she stepped aside and let the kids face Lucifer.

The kids looked at Lucifer. They bowed respectfully. "Thank you for saving us."

Lucifer scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to react.

"Come on! Now you need to be brave as well.?The kids won't bite you. Just place your hand on their heads and pat them."

Eve held Lucifer's wrist and placed her hand on the heads of the kids.

Lucifer looked towards her only to find a cheeky smile on her face. He looked back at the kids.

The small kids were so innocent and kind looking. Even though they were scared, they were filled with hope.

Seeing them, he couldn't help but wonder what might have happened to the kid he had left back in Elisium... The one he had saved at a restaurant.

Eve closed in on Lucifer and brought her lips closer to his ears and whispered, "The world isn't all that bad, is it?"

Lucifer took his hands back and looked at his blood covered gloves.

He placed his hand on the back of Eve and pulled her closer. This time it was his turn to whisper something.

Bringing his lips closer to her ears while keeping her in his embrace, he softly whispered. "The world might not be all bad, but I am. And I'm never going to change. Also, next time don't steal the candies from the shop."

After he finished, he freed her from his embrace and started leaving. He didn't even look back at the kids as he left.

"Here, enjoy." Eve gave more candies to the kids, emptying her entire pocket before she ran after Lucifer.

Seeing what had happened, the dark haired spy was most confused. He didn't know what had just happened. What were they trying to do? He simply shook his head, clearing his mind as he continued following Lucifer.

....

Lucifer reached the Warlock Council building with his hands around Eve's back, who had again snuggled into his arms.

"You're back. We heard something happened on the way? Are you fine?" The guards at the entrance asked Lucifer.

"I am fine."

"May we know who this lady is?"

"She is my date tonight. I can bring her to my floor, right?" Lucifer asked.

"Ah, sure you can. But you mustn't take her to any other floors. It's fine as long as she stays on your floor and leaves straight from there." The guard replied as he allowed them to enter.

In his mind, he was slightly intrigued. Was this kid really such a Casanova? He hadn't even been here for one whole day and he was already bringing ladies back.

"Sigh, advantages of being handsome." The man sighed, getting back to his duty.

In their attention to the lady, the men completely forgot that something was different. Milena and Arthur weren't wearing the white coat now.

Generally, Lucifer might have thought about bringing the coats back before entering, but he couldn't since he was being followed. He didn't want Kellian to be discovered. That was bad if it happened.

Lucifer entered the lift which took him to his assigned floor.. However, he knew they needed to continue the roleplay.
