Inhuman Warlock-Novel

"Why would I need to do anything? Did you forget who you are?" Lucifer asked, seemingly amused. "You're capable of replying to anyone in any language you choose."

"In fact, I really wouldn't have interfered at all. You always advocate for a solution without fighting and oppose all Violence. I really wanted to see what you would've done in that case," he further added. "Too bad things didn't reach there."

Eve's face twitched. She rolled her eyes. "So you would've let her attack me? And here I was worried for you so much that I jumped before you when she was going to hit you. Next time I'll just watch."

"Did you really jump before me to save me?" Lucifer asked, smiling. "Wasn't it to save the other two people instead?"

"Can't it be for you and them? If you were hit, you would've killed the lady in response," Eve replied.

"And her husband would've fought you. The man isn't weak at all. He's the Head of the Great Raasin Family here. He's a powerful Warlock. You might've been hurt fighting him."

"Moreover, your identity would've been exposed if you had fought. So I jumped in the middle to save you and your plan. Saving the other two was just an additional bonus," she continued.

"Raasin family... I heard about them when I used to study here," Lucifer let out, sighing. "Unfortunately, they didn't have any students from their family in my class. Didn't get a chance to know what they're about."

"Well, they're one of the eight great families of the Island and one of the four that lives in the central district. In terms of strength, they would probably be kept at the third position of the eight. However, their Patriarch is really strong."

"What are his abilities?" Lucifer inquired.

"He has... Hmm? Why did the cab stop? I don't think we're there yet?" Eve looked out the window as the cab stopped.

The section between them and the driver was blocked, so they couldn't see through the windshield of the car.

She opened the door and looked ahead.

She noticed three black cars blocking the road before the cab. The driver also stepped out of the car and walked to them to know what was wrong.

Eve stepped back into the car.

"I think we might be in trouble. The cars are blocking the road ahead. The cars have the symbol of the Raasin Family. I think they're here to intercept us."

Lucifer looked back. Some cars also blocked the road in the back.

"Either that or we have some really great fans in this city. Anyways, I am not in the mood to fight. Let's just leave."

He turned into a Shadow. Eve also did the same after turning into a shadow. Both of them snuck out of the car and left without being seen.

Far away from the road, they came out of the shadows in an alley. Eve immediately returned to her real self to not be scolded again.

"I think the Raasin family is suspicious about us. They'll certainly do something stupid by tomorrow if they don't find us," Eve commented. "What did you do to that woman for her to hate you so much?"

"She's nothing but a Vixen. She wanted to lure my father to marry her. If that had happened, things would've gone really wrong. So I just talked to her nicely and made her understand how wrong it was. How should I know why she's so angry? It's not like I killed her," Lucifer replied.

"Hanging her on top of the ocean is talking to her kindly?"

"In my defense, I was also hanging with her," Lucifer responded. "She's making it sound much worse than it actually was."

"Anyways, the past is the past. I can't let her screw the present over it. I think I should make things right with her."

"You'll apologize to her?" Eve asked.

Lucifer looked back as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Where do they live?"

"Not fat from here. They have a mansion in the city," Eve answered. "We can get there by walking in just ten minutes."

"Good. In ten minutes, you can tell me about his abilities. Escort me there."

Eve left the alley with Lucifer, once again finding his arms like she was a young wife, traveling with her husband.

"Yo-"

"That's right. We were talking about the abilities of the Raasin Clan. When it comes to that, they have quite a lot of Variants, each possessing a different kind of ability.

Just as Lucifer tried to say something about the handholding, Eve cut him off and changed the topic to distract him.

"The strongest of them would be the Head of the Clan, Jake Raasin, the guy you saw previously. In fact, he was a part of the squad that was made to fight the dark variants of the Island once upon a time which was led by Xaen personally."

"It was a war that lasted for years. It certainly kept me engaged. It's also the reason I spent so much time on this island and know so much about him."

"Can you guess who the leader of the Dark Variants Xaen fought against was?"

"Who? Must be someone strong like Varant at least to keep Xaen on his toes." Lucifer took a guess.

"It was certainly a strong guy. In fact, you also know him. The enemy of Xaen, who later became his friend... Your Grandpa Chi."

"He? He's the leader of the Dark Resistance that happened here?"

"That's right."

"But wasn't he friends with Xaen, according to Cassius?"

"How do you think an ordinary fisherman would become such a close friend with Xaen? It's because they are the two strongest Warlocks of the Island. In fact, even with the help of all the Great Family Heads, Xaen had a hard time taking your Grandpa out."

"Things were so bad that people from his own squad had started mocking Xaen for his failure, which forced him to use some underhanded methods to take care of your Grandpa."

" It was certainly very hard to watch even though I knew Xaen was doing it for the greater good and to save many lives in the future. I really feel bad for your grandpa."

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"The tsunami which killed the family of the old man? You know about that?" Eve asked.

"Yeah. When the old man wasn't in the city, there was a Tsunami which destroyed the village.. Many people had died, including the family members of the old man? Don't tell me the Tsunami came because of Xaen? That should be impossible."
