Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 780

"You won't kill me until you know where the stones were. On the other hand, what's stopping you from killing me after I gave you the information you need?"

"Who said I'll kill you?" Lucifer flashed a devilish smile.

"I'll keep you alive. I'll just make you wish you were dead instead. I can wait for the answer I need. But I'm really going to enjoy what I'm going to do with you."

"Wh-"

Arghhh~

As soon as Xaen tried to respond, his eyes opened wide as the hall became filled with his pained scream.

One of his fingers from his left hand was lying on the bed, separated from his bleeding hand. The blood covered finger dirtied even the bed.

"Xaen, don't worry, you won't die from that much. I'm sure they can help you survive. For the next ten days, I'll slice one finger every day. And then on the eleventh day, we'll increase the fun."

"As I said, I'm not in a hurry since I'm going to be here for quite some time. You can take a month or more before telling me. I don't mind actually."

"You! You think you can scare me with torture? That's never going to work!"

"Who says it's not going to work? It will definitely work. It's just a matter of time. For now, I'll enjoy my time with you. As soon as we find a way back, that'll be the day I'll show you what true fear looks like. You'll be begging me to take the stones from you that day."

Lucifer laid on the bed, comfortably, ignoring the bleeding Xaen.

Xaen picked his finger and ran to the door. He started knocking on the door heavily, to ask for someone who could reattach his finger if possible. He knew if it was too late, his finger was going to be lost forever.

Within a few minutes, a man opened the door. Observing the sliced finger in the hand of Xaen, he took Xaen with him. He didn't speak even one word to Lucifer.

On the ship, almost everyone knew that Lucifer was special for the Captain. No one wanted to offend him.

...

Back at Earth, another silver haired man was lying on a white bed, looking as if he was sleeping peacefully.

From his hair to his face, he looked completely identical to Lucifer, even in his age.

In front of him, a doctor was facing two men, looking really concerned.

"I-i am supposed to treat him? Are you sure the Uprising wants that? But I'm just a human doctor. I haven't treated a Variant of this caliber," the doctor said, glancing back at the young man again.

"Doctor, don't think too much. As you know, the Uprising is very busy in a massive war against the entire world. In such a massive War, they can't afford to lose their captain but they also can't treat him at their base since their every move was under the watch of their enemies."

"That's why they took the help of ours since we weren't connected to them to that extent. No one knows we are working for the Uprising and no one knows that Lucifer is hurt. You need to treat him at any cost, without letting even a single soul know that Lucifer is here!"

"If you do a good job, you'll be heavily rewarded by the Uprising as soon as the War is over, but if you fail, just remember that Uprising can be very ruthless."

"In fact, I would've made you talk to them directly, however they believe all transmissions to them are being tracked and heard by the enemies so we are in radio silence until Lucifer is up. Do just trust us and help Lucifer!"

"At the moment, you're literally the most important doctor in the world who is dealing with the most important person in the world! So don't think twice and just agree!"

The doctor was still a bit scared of operating on such an important person. However, he couldn't do anything else either. He couldn't say no to Uprising else his life was almost as good as gone.

Ultimately, he nodded. "Fine. I'll take this case and I'll try my best to treat Lucifer Azarel!"

"That's a really great news doctor! But remember, not a single soul except us should know that Lucifer is here. It's a secret that you must protect with your life if needed."

"I promise, I won't let anyone know that Lucifer Azarel is here. I'll be the only person treating him. If the need arises, I'll bring the entire hospital equipment to another place for a few days so we can treat Lucifer Azarel there without anyone knowing."

"That's great. Also, Doctor, as you know, this is a secret mission so there can't be any money trail which might lead the enemies here. So all the treatment cost and more will only be given to you after Lucifer goes back to the Uprising safely."

" So until then, you'll need to bear all the costs which I'm sure you can since you're literally the top doctor in Elisium. You're very rich so that shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Don't worry about money. I won't even ask for money. I'm treating Lucifer Azarel! I'll have to be an idiot to ask for money from him. The treatment will be free of cost."

"Are you sure you don't want a fee even in the future?" The dark haired man asked, seemingly stunned.

Contrary to his expressions, he was laughing in his heart. These people were dirt poor and they didn't have enough money to even go to the cheapest doctor and now they were before the best doctor in Elisium.

It was all because of the reputation that Lucifer had created for himself. When it came to him, no one was willing to take any risk of offending him.

At the moment, Lucifer Azarel was the most well known and most feared Warlock in the entire world, especially after his transformation and after the defeat of the Warlock Council.

Many nations had already surrendered to the Uprising after finding out that the news about the Uprising defeating the Warlock Council in the most brutal war was true. The story was true which was enough of a reason for weaker nations to surrender.

At the moment, more than half the world was in control of the Uprising. In other words, Lucifer ruled over most of Earth.

When amongst the nations that had surrendered yet, it was all because they were still thinking about the future.
