Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 804: To welcome

The pilot nodded his head. "Yes."

"He sent me to tell you to leave. We'll be staying here. You should go and leave this city. The Uprising is disbanded, and it's time for you to leave. Take this helicopter as well. Remember, no one must know about this place."

"You don't know about this place. You only knew about the base in the capital, and that's it. You understand? If you ever remember about this base, just think of the consequences you might face," Tristan warned the pilot before stepping out of the helicopter.

The pilot took the warning seriously. The roof opened. The helicopter started rising in the air and left.

Tristan heard the sound of the helicopter leaving. He started walking back towards his room to take care of the body of Kane.

"That marks the end of the Uprising. Who knew I would have to help contribute to the end of my own organization. It's over now. Everything is done. Only Lucifer is left, but if I'm not wrong, he would have to face the future I saw for him."

"However, I still don't understand something... What happened to the future I saw for him before? That still hasn't come true. The different reality dreams made things really complicated. Even I don't know what will come true."

"But if I'm not wrong, Lucifer will die now that the future has changed. Let's see what the new future becomes..."

...

The spaceship of the Star Alliance came out of the spatial portal.

During a short journey of a few hours, many changes took place inside the ship.

Xaen was kept in the same room, but Lucifer was shifted to a different room. He wasn't allowed to stay in contact with Xaen as it was getting hard to heal Xaen again and again.

Joana didn't want Lucifer to actually kill Xaen on the ship. They had already sent a report to the headquarters that they had captured two people. If one of them was to die, questions were going to be raised about his actions there.

He didn't want that to happen right now. As for the whereabouts of the stones, it was evident that Xaen wasn't going to tell right now.

In return for taking Xaen away from him, Joana promised Lucifer that he was going to help him get the whereabouts of the stones.

After a lot of convincing, Lucifer agreed. In any case, he wasn't going to get an answer immediately.

"Lucifer, I already told the headquarters everything about where I found you and all, so I want you to be honest with them. Tell them exactly what you told me. And let me remind you, they will know when you're lying. So try to refrain from lying."

"And more importantly, I am sure they won't ask what we talked about, so don't mention anything on your own. Keep our deal to ourselves. Don't make them suspicious. Because if they are suspicious, they will start asking more questions."

"I understand. I will tell them everything they ask and nothing more than I have to."

"Good. That'll be perfect. We'll be docking soon. I think it's time I take you in handcuffs. Need to make them feel like you are a prisoner. "

"Remember, they'll take you to a cell and keep you there until they clear you after interrogation. I'll be right there. You just won't be able to see it. I'll try to make the process fast for you."

"Now, give me your hand."

Lucifer brought both his hands together. Joana placed handcuffs around Lucifer's hands. Lucifer wore the handcuffs.

"The ship will be docked in ten minutes. Everyone, prepare accordingly!" Joana commanded his men, taking his seat. "Some of you go cuff Xaen as well. After that, bring him here!"

A ship moved closer to a massive planet, entering the atmosphere and slowing down. The color of the ship changed from the outside as the exterior of the ship became pitch black.

The re-entry into the atmosphere became even easier for the ship as it became black. It appeared as if the ship faced no resistance now that it had changed color.

The ship slowed down even more, reaching near the surface. It floated just a few meters above the surface as it advanced towards a bridge into the distance.

Aligning itself against the bridge perfectly, the ship stopped. It kept floating in the air but didn't move ahead. The doors of the ship closed.

Multiple dark-robed men stood on the bridge with their hands behind their back, waiting for the people to come out.

As soon as the ship stopped, Joana glanced one last time at Lucifer, but he didn't say anything.

The door opened. Joana was the first person to step out.

As soon as Joana stepped out of the ship with the lady closely following behind, his lips opened slightly.

"Captain of the Royal Guards? I will be honest. I didn't expect you to be here personally."

Even he was surprised to see the man here. Amongst the men who stood on the ship, there was one person who had a one star symbol on his chest.

The man stood out amongst the rest, not only because of the Star on his chest but also because of his aura.

The white-haired man seemed to be in his late seventies, but even then, he looked really fit even now. Instead, he seemed even stronger than Joana.

"May I know why you're here?" Joana asked.

"Can't I come to welcome you?" The old man asked, flashing a light smile.

"I won't be stupid enough to think you're here to welcome me. I suppose it's about the prisoners? But they're already cuffed. You didn't have to personally come here to take them."

"I know I didn't have to come. However, I read the report you sent me. The prisoner this time seems special. Not only is he from a world yet to be explored but also someone who has characteristics of all the species? I wanted to see this anomaly myself. "

"I wanted to see just who exactly is this person? Or should I say what exactly is he? We'll have to scan him at the headquarters as well. It would be really fascinating if your report were true. You would be rewarded for this discovery. You might take one step closer to a promotion," the old man said, placing his hand on Joana's shoulders.

He brought his lips close to Joana's ears. " But if you did some exaggeration, just know Her Majesty would be upset as well. You might take one step closer to demotion instead."
