Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 629 - 629: Just Do It

"This is where you stay? Such a beautiful place!" Eve complimented as soon as she saw the massive place as if it was her first time seeing it.

"Nope. This is where you stay from now on," Lucifer responded. "The three of you can take a seat. I'll be right back."

Lucifer went inside the washroom to wash his gloves from the splashes of blood as much as he could.

He turned on the tap water before taking off the gloves. After cleaning them, he placed them to the side before taking some water in his hand and splashing it on his face.

....

Joan kept his eyes on what was happening inside the room of Lucifer while sitting on the top floor where all the Warlock Heads could come except Lucifer since he didn't have the permit. He had a separate office of himself as well.

"This lady... Did he really go outside to pick up girls? Something feels off."

He captured the image of Eve and started searching her face through the database to see if there was any match. He couldn't find any match. Her face wasn't amongst the list of travelers that entered the city from outside. Her face wasn't on the list of citizens of Zeston either.

That was the worst part. If the lady was just someone Lucifer casually found when he went to pick up ladies outside, then why was she not in any database. It was as if she had just appeared out of thin air, like the appearance of Lucifer.

He couldn't find Lucifer in any flight database either. Both of them just happened to appear inside Zeston out of nowhere. That

"That can't be a coincidence," he said, standing up.

"What can't be a coincidence?" A voice came from the back.

"Who?" Joan turned around, surprised. "Sigh, it's you."

"Did I scare you?"

"You didn't scare me. But next time, knock before you come in," Joan told the man who stood behind him.

The man was none other than Julien. He was the only person who was in the Warlock Council Headquarters but still hadn't attended the meeting with Lucifer for some reason.

"By the way, what brought a lazy person like you out of your room? As far as I know, you even refused the old man to attend the meeting with the kid. So what are you doing here?" Joan asked Julien.

"Nothing much. I just noticed that you were the only person who wasn't relaxing outside. So I was intrigued about what was happening with you," Julien answered.

"So? What were you saying? What doesn't make sense? And may I ask why you're spying on the new kid? Are you suspicious?"

"Suspicious? That would be an understatement," Julien replied, sighing. "I think the kid is pretty clever. And he is scheming something. He is hiding more than he is showing."

"And what makes you think so?" Julien asked, picking up another seat. He sat on the chair.

"For example, his subordinates were about to say something when I left his place. And he closed her mouth, trying to stop her," Joan answered. "If nothing was wrong, why would he do that?"

"And then he left the place without even checking the door, possibly so he could talk outside."

"So the kid is suspicious that we're listening to him. Now bad," Julien laughed. "But that doesn't seem that big a deal. He probably didn't want her to reveal a secret of Elisium or something."

"I would've done the same if I was in a new place even if I wasn't scheming something," he continued.

"That's not all..."

Joan described the oddity about Eve, and now she wasn't supposed to be in Zeston, and there was no data about her.

"It is just too convenient that he went out and found a lady like her," Joan said. "I don't trust the kid one bit."

"Man, and here I thought that something was seriously wrong," Julien lazily commented. "It's just about that. The answer is simple. Go and interrogate the lady."

"But if we do that, he might be suspicious."

"Who cares," Julian lazily said. "If he actually didn't know the lady before, you can use that and say it's for his safety since there are many people who target Head Council members. And if he's really guilty, then why bother about making him suspicious."

"The problem is that he'll probably go crazy and start attacking us if he's actually guilty.?So I can't just go alone. He's not a weak person after all."

"No need to go alone. Take the other Heads with you," Julien said. "I mean, it's not like there is a lack of people who hated the thought of letting the kid join even if it was temporary. You can use them."

"Are you coming too?" Joan asked.

"Me? I'm too lazy. I think you all would be enough to handle a kid," Julien stood up. He stretched his arms as he started leaving while yawning.

The idea of Julien was something that Joan thought about seriously. Still, he decided to contact Andrim first before doing it. He thought he should let the man know first.

Joan even managed to make Andrim suspicious with the way he presented the facts and ultimately received the permission from him to investigate.

"Even though I'm giving you permission, don't forget to exercise caution. Don't offend the kid if he's actually innocent. We still need to use him for the time being."

"I won't. I'll be careful."

...

Lucifer stepped out of the bathroom and walked to Eve, who was sitting on the sofa. All he needed was to delay things for one day without raising much suspicion.

He didn't know though, that suspicion was already raised. Fortunately, the story about him picking up a lady in the way still left some room for doubt to make the Warlock Council unsure if he was lying or not.

Lucifer sat close to Eve, looking into her eyes.

"Hmm? You suddenly look sleepy. Did you not sleep last night?" He asked, throwing the bait to Eve.

All she needed to do was say yes so he could ask her to rest for the day and get some sleep.

"Hmm? Not at all. I had a great sleep last night." Eve answered, not taking the bait.

Lucifer wanted to scold her so badly for being an idiot.

He had just portrayed himself as a womanizer. If the woman was finally in his room and he didn't do anything, he was going to look even more suspicious.. That's why he wanted Eve to sleep for a few hours until Andrim returned.
