Chapter 564 - 564: Survival
"Fine. We\'ll protect your friend." The Snow Wolf Clan Patriarch ultimately nodded.
Lucifer observed all the support he had received. It was a perfect place to be in. Not only had he taken the threat out, but he also destroyed the evidence. Now, most of the blame was on Deon.
Moreover, there was no proof that Lucifer\'s side had started it first by killing Ro.
The Thunder Lions were faced with two High Beast Clans. Even though they were strong, they realized that they couldn\'t get anything out of this situation. They couldn\'t kill Deon and have their revenge since they were singled out.
Most of the ordinary members of the Thunder Lion clan had understood the situation of theirs. Only the leader of theirs was still out of the loop since he was too emotional at the loss of his son.
The other Thunder Lions stepped forward and whispered something in his ears, reminding him that it was better to leave.
They had a feeling that it wasn\'t going to work, so they also used another excuse, saying that if they fought, Lynx\'s body was going to be destroyed as well.
They told him to take Lynx\'s body back to give him a proper burial first and then think about revenge.
The Thunder Lion Clan leader looked towards his son before looking at the other Clan Elders.
"I\'m taking my son back. But this thing isn\'t over yet! You\'ll regret it!"
He returned to his human form as a middle-aged man who was dressed in a dark blue robe.
Seeing the man, Lucifer\'s lips slightly opened. He wasn\'t surprised at the man\'s looks or his answers. Instead, he was surprised at the earring of the man.
In his wolf form, the earring wasn\'t visible clearly, but when he was in his human form, it was clear! It was an earring that was made from a thin thread of metal that was wrapped around a small piece of stone.
The stone had the same color as the fur of the Thunder Lions, being blue. However, it was exactly the stone that attracted Lucifer. Because the stone looked an awful lot like the two stones he had in his pocket.
Just the color of the stone was different along with the symbol inside.
"One of the missing stones?" he frowned. "How did it end up here?"
"Did you eat something?" Deon asked Lucifer, looking back.
"Nothing," Lucifer shook his head.
He placed his hand in his pocket and brought out the piece of metal. He wondered if it was the same case with the stone? A summoned beast accidentally brought the stone back to this world?
He already had two stones. And he had located the third with the help of Sirius. And the fourth was with the Warlock Council. The fifth was here. Now there were only two stones which were missing. He basically had all of them located now.
The third shine was within his grasp. It was so close to him that he could\'ve just taken a few steps forward and snatched the stone, but that was also impossible.
The man who possessed it was probably the strongest Summoned Beast in existence! It was going to be stupid to take the stone blindly.
Despite all this, he was pleased that at least he knew about it. If he had left this world, he could never have found out about this stone! This one stone would always remain missing. He even wondered if it was an accident that he ended up here or his luck?
His eyes didn\'t stop looking at the stone. The Thunder Lion Patriarch noticed him staring at him. He growled but didn\'t attack.
He walked closer to his son while Deon and the others stepped back. The Golden Lion wasn\'t going to stop a father from recovering the body of his son. They were just here to make sure that he didn\'t kill anyone.
The Thunder Lion Patriarch picked up the body of his son and placed it on the back of one of the Thunder Lions.
"Take him back carefully." He spoke softly before walking to the head of his son, which was separate from his body.
"I\'m sorry, my son. Father wasn\'t here to protect you. But I promise you, your sacrifice won\'t go in vain. The people who made you suffer will suffer as well." He closed the eyes of his son, which were still open, before picking up his head.
Glancing one last time at everyone who had opposed him, he left. No one tried to stop him either.
Lucifer still didn\'t take his eyes off of the earring. It was something he must have, and he decided to take that before leaving. Because it was unclear if he would ever return.
He walked to the side and picked up his white cloak, wearing it.
"We\'re going home as well. We need to think about repairing all the damage here." The Golden Rhino Patriarch also returned to his human form with everyone else. "Let\'s go, Deon! Also, from now on, you aren\'t allowed to leave the house alone!"
"I understand, father." Deon nodded, smiling wryly. He realized what a mess he was in. The Thunder Lion Clan patriarch probably wanted him dead.
He couldn\'t go alone until this whole thing died down. He had effectively lost his freedom, but he was still happy that he had maintained his pride!
He ran to Lucifer, returning the sword.
"Thank you for everything," Lucifer thanked the Deon as he took the sword. He ran to Hun and the others.
"Hun, you aren\'t allowed to go anywhere alone either." Even though Hun didn\'t have any threat, his father was worried for his safety as well and didn\'t allow him to leave.
Amelia\'s mother didn\'t do anything like that. Since she could fly, she was safer. Moreover, they weren\'t involved in this matter in any capacity other than being spectators. So there were no reasons to restrict her.
"Let\'s go, Amelia."
The two Phoenixes also left.
Lucifer was left behind, watching the flaming birds leave.
Lucifer observed the sword. "It\'s a pretty nice show. Where did you get it from?"
"I borrowed it," Salazar replied. "Apparently, it was a gift from a High Beast."
"It was a gift from my father," Hun\'s father also returned to his human form, recognizing that sword. "Make sure to return it to the person you borrowed it from in the future."
Lucifer nodded, but he didn\'t promise. He still needed this sword, mostly because of his new target.
Gon was probably going to be summoned soon.. So to save time, he needed to take the stone fast.
