Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 695 - 695: Tasks

"In my absence, I need you to protect this place," he further said. "That's not all. You need to do something else as well while I'm gone. I'll give most of you a task of your own. It wouldn't be very hard."

He turned to Milena. "If you did good, I would remove that Limiter as well."

"You will?" Milena asked, stunned. "Are you telling the truth?"

"I have no reason to lie to you," Lucifer replied. "Anyways, all of you need to get out now. Come out one by one, only the person I call. You'll be getting individual missions that only you'll know."

"Milena, Kellian, and Veracity, you two will stay here. Everyone else, leave."

The Nobles and the Uprising Members left, wondering what the missions were going to be.

Only Lucifer, Veracity, Kellian, and Milena were left behind.

"Milena, first I'll start with you." Lucifer stood up, stretching his arms. "But before I tell you, I have one question for you."

"What question?"

"When I was in the so-called coma, did you get thoughts about taking over the Uprising and keeping my body hostage?" Lucifer asked.

"I didn't. I don't really care about Uprising members. The only concerning person here is you," Milena replied. "But I did think that it was better if you stayed like that, compared to you waking up after losing your powers."

"Is she telling the truth?" Lucifer asked. Even though he was keeping his eyes on Milena, Veracity knew he was talking to him.

"It's the truth," Veracity answered.

"Good. It seems that I can trust you to some extent. What I want you to do is very simple," Lucifer said, nodding.

He brought a piece of paper from his pocket. "I want you to go to this address."

He gave the paper to Milena.

"Why?"

"It's the location of the fourth stone which I had received from Arthur. You should be able to find the person who bought the stone in the auction there. His name is in the letter as well. I want you to recover the stone and bring it back to me."

"You think you can do it?"

"I don't think it should be hard." Milena nodded. "But you'll really take off this bracelet if I'm successful?"

"I will," Lucifer responded. "That's the promise of a Warlock. But you must bring back the stone."

"Consider it done," Milena said, reading the address on the paper.

"Kellian would take care of the flights for you and all the miscellaneous matters. You can leave now. Don't forget to send Arthur and Jiani inside after you leave," Lucifer said as he walked over to the window and glanced at the calm City outside.

Milena left the room.

"Two stones of mine with Xaen. The third stone in the Realm of Summons merged with the sword. The Fourth stone will be back when Milena returns. Now I need to find the rest of the stones."

"Kellian?" He asked, turning around.

"Yeah?"

"Tell Kane to put more resources in search of the other stones."

"He is already doing that. But it's really hard, it seems. I doubt we can find it that easily."

"Did he find anything from the database of Warlock Council? Even they didn't know the whereabouts of the other stones?" Lucifer asked.

"According to Jenilia, the whereabouts of five of the seven stones was known by the Warlock Council while she only knew three. Whereabouts of the other two must be in the database," he further stated.

"We're still trying to decipher the entire data. Most of the data has been deciphered, but there's a section that is much harder. If any important bits of information are kept, it might be there," Kellian explained.

"How long will it take?" Lucifer inquired.

"I can't say. From what we know, our team is being careful with the database since one wrong step will make the data unusable. So it might take a few days or a few weeks. It might even take a few months."

"I don't think we can sit idly based on the assumption about the future. Tell Kane to place a heavy reward on the stones. Anyone who gives the information about a stone would get massive rewards. I want that information to spread in all the nations."

"If we do that, won't our enemies be alert? People might also realize that the stones are special?"

"Make a story about why you need the stones. I'm sure you can handle that. It's better than waiting for the unknown."

"I'll see what we can do. But that will take time as well."

"Isn't it good then? You have quite a lot of time by the time I return. Anyways, there's one more thing I need you to do."

"Just name it."

"Find me all the information related to the death of Ramian Asade and what happened after that in the city. And get me the history of my father and my mother from the year 2025. Get that printed. I might be reading that on the flight."

"I'll get it done." Kellian left the room.

As he was leaving, he saw Arthur and Jiani step inside the room.

Lucifer turned to Arthur, smiling. "Arthur, I heard you kept me safe as well. I suppose I should thank you as well? Even though it was one of you who was attacking me."

"I was just trying to stop a misunderstanding. I apologize for the actions of our colleague. She has been punished already."

"Don't worry; I didn't call you here for that. I called you here to give you two a mission. But you aren't allowed to share your mission with others. Can I trust you?" Lucifer asked.

Both Arthur and Jiani knew about the abilities of Veracity. They couldn't lie, so they took it seriously.

"We won't tell anyone else."

Lucifer glanced at Veracity, who nodded.

"Good. I want the two of you to go and kidnap a person for me."

"Kidnap someone? Who?" Arthur asked, stunned.

Lucifer smiled, letting out a name.

"You should be able to do it with your combined abilities. You have seven days to do it because that's the most I'll take before I return."

"I don't know why you would want someone like that kidnapped, but whatever. I think that wouldn't be hard for us." Kellian nodded, having faith in his abilities.

"Good. You have the Limiter I gave you? Use that to keep things neat. There shouldn't be much commotion," Lucifer said. "You two can leave. Send Dallas and Tristan inside."

One after another, Lucifer kept inviting people inside the room and kept giving them missions.
