Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 583 - 583: The Reason

All the guests looked at Lucifer with a deep frown. They could also see how this kid had killed a High Beast Patriarch here.

Even though it wasn't nice for the reputation of their city if they just turned back and left, but it was also true that they had no stakes in this personally other than some silly attitude.

It wasn't as if they were friends of the dead guy. They just came because they were invited.

A bulky man was the first one to turn back.

"This is a matter of the Phoenix and the Crow. I don't see any reason to waste my time here."

Even his wife followed behind him and left.

The departure of one person had the intended effect since more and more people started leaving, following suit. It was as if a card was pulled from a house of cards and the rest of them came crashing down as well.

All the High Beasts from the other city left, vacating the premise. Even the people from this city also left, especially the ones who didn't know Lucifer.

Only two clans left behind: the snow wolves and the Golden Rhinos.

"May I ask why you killed him?" The Golden Rhino Patriarch asked Lucifer.

"Nope," Lucifer lazily replied. "I am grateful for your help last time, but I see no reason to explain my motives."

The golden-haired man looked towards Hun's father. He didn't know if he should leave or fight back. If it was just a one-off incident, then it didn't matter. But if it was Lucifer going crazy, then it was another matter since he could put them at risk.

"One more thing. You don't have to worry. I won't hurt you if you don't try to attack me. So you can rest assured and leave. However, if you attack me, I would forget the previous help, and you'll end up as the Thunder Lion Clan Patriarch as well." Lucifer patted his clothes casually.

The lightning spears that were around him disappeared.

"Thunder Clan Patriarch? You mean the reason he's not here is because....?"

"That's right. He's enjoying the same vacation as these two. I can't forgive a person who threatens to kill me after all," Lucifer lazily shrugged.

"This..."

"He isn't lying. I verified it myself. That guy is dead," Hun's father finally spoke.

"This is fascinating. Just who exactly are you? A youngster who can kill us? Why did you come here?"

"As I said, I see no reason to explain myself. Please leave. I want to be alone in this place. This is the last warning."

The golden-haired man sighed, "Fine. I don't care either."

He patted the shoulder of his son as he left. There was no benefit of having conflicts.

Only one clan was left. Hun couldn't understand why Lucifer had suddenly killed the boy. Was it because of their last interaction on the street? Even then, how was he so strong? And if he was, why did he take so long to kill Lynx at the start?

"Lucifer, we should go home. We can talk there," he told Lucifer.

"Y-yes." Yui also chimed in.

Lucifer scratched the back of his head, stepping towards Hun. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll have enough time to come back home. Today is most probably the day when I'll be leaving. This should be my last day with you all."

"I can't tell you how much you helped me. Without you, we wouldn't have had a way back. Thank you." He patted the shoulder of Hun.

He looked at Yui, who stood beside Hun, and placed his hand gently on her hand. "You as well. Thank you."

After his initial interaction, he walked back to the throne-like seats and sat on one of them, with one leg resting above others like he was the king of this place.

"Way back?" Hun asked.

"Yeah. I think it's time I told you the truth. I'm not a High Beast. I'm from the other world where the beasts go to. I accidentally ended up here because of a summoning portal malfunction. And I was looking for a way back. That's where you came to help me."

"So you lied to me?" Hun asked, taking a step back.

Lucifer knew the reaction was going to be like this. He would've been upset as well if someone had lied to him. However, he was leaving. He wanted to end his cooperation with truth.

"That's right. I lied to you about my origins," Lucifer responded.

"And about your parents going missing as well? How could you? How can a friend lie to another friend?"

"That's right. My parents didn't go missing. They died when I was just five years old. And other than that, I don't want to tell you anything. It's true that I lied to you, but it's also here that many things that I told you were here."

"About me being your friend? Was that a lie too?!" Hun asked.

Lucifer took a little pause before he started answering. "Y-"

Tap~

He didn't even finish one word before he stopped as he heard footsteps.

He stopped speaking and turned back, looking towards the stairs.

And there she was... A young lady dressed in a beautiful red gown. Even though there was not a shred of happiness on her face, she looked so beautiful, as if a princess was coming down from heaven.

She had a beautiful red necklace on her neck that properly complicated her gown. Two silver earrings on her ears also stood out with all the red she was wearing.

Her long red hair was tied into a ponytail.

"She looks even more beautiful during the day. I can only praise your choice," Salazar whispered in Lucifer's ears.

"Huh?" Lucifer looked back at Salazar. "What do you mean?"

"Come on. You might not understand what you feel since you're slightly young, but I can see the look on your face. You've fallen for her, young man."

"The reason you were willing to come here, the reason you were feeling restless when I talked about leaving today?"

" The reason you were in a bad mood since morning? You've not realized it yet, but you've started liking her. And the thought of not being able to see her again was troubling you." Salazar patted Lucifer's shoulder.

"Nonsense!" Lucifer responded.

"You don't have to listen to me. Just place your hand on your heart and feel your heartbeat. You should get your answer.." Salazar smiled as he held Lucifer's wrist and placed his hand on his chest.
