Chapter 733 - 733
He brought the glasses out of the pocket, only to find them completely shattered.
He crushed whatever was left of the glasses in his hand before tossing it away. He walked back to the body of Yovann and Morbius but didn\'t stop there. Instead, he walked past them.
The bodies started rising in the air behind him and followed him. He stepped inside the hall, walking back to the chamber where he had clashed with Xaen.
The entire hall was in a mess because of the clash that took place here.
He walked closer to the stage, noticing Cassius was still lying on the ground. His eyes were open, but he wasn\'t able to stand up at the moment.
Lucifer stepped closer to Xaen. He raised his finger casually, making the body of Cassius stand before him.
Cassius gazed at Lucifer, not knowing if he should be happy that Xaen didn\'t succeed in this scheme or be sad that he fell for the trick and became so weak.
"I want to ask you one thing. Do you know where Eve is?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
Even though he believed Cassius didn\'t know, he still asked.
"I don\'t know. I didn\'t even know she was here, let alone be captured. I made the biggest mistake of my life by trusting Xaen."
"That you certainly did." Lucifer nodded. "So you can\'t use any powers of yours?"
"I can\'t even feel it. Let alone powers; I doubt I could even stand without your help. I am really sorry for what I did."
"You know what\'s the value of a sorry?" Lucifer asked, turning his back on Cassius.
"A sorry can\'t send you back in time to right all wrongs. A sorry can\'t bring back the dead. A sorry wouldn\'t have kept me safe if I had believed you."
"Every day, I am being proven wrong. You know why?" he asked Cassius.
"Why?" Cassius asked.
"There was a part in me that made me think like things could be different with me than they were with my parents. A hope that I could have people I can trust without having to look over my shoulders."
"A hope of having something close to a family and not just people who worked for me. But there was another part in me that knew it wasn\'t possible."
" It told me to not fall for human emotions and give people a weakness. I didn\'t listen to it for the most part and let myself fall farther and farther inside."
"I really need to thank you for removing that doubt and that hope I had in my heart. Thank you for making me realize how stupid I was being. Thank you for making me remember that I\'m still alone and can be betrayed anytime by anyone. Thank you for everything."
"I-"
"Nope. Don\'t say anything. There\'s nothing left to be said. Everything is crystal clear now."
He started flying up, leaving the academy with Cassius and the bodies of the two teachers.
After getting far enough, he placed the body of Cassius on the ground before turning back to the Academy of Gifted Variants.
Electricity flickered in his eyes as a blinding flash appeared in the sky, which forced Cassius to close his eyes.
There was a mighty roar of the clouds while Cassius kept his eyes closed.
By the time he opened his eyes, the sky was back to normal, but nothing was left behind. The academy wasn\'t there anymore. Only some rubble could be seen behind. The mighty academy of Gifted Variants was destroyed in its entirety.
"People should be here soon. Just give them a signal. They should send you back."
Lucifer started leaving.
"Where are you going now?" Cassius asked, sighing.
Lucifer glanced at Cassius but didn\'t reply. He flew away with the bodies.
In a faraway continent, Kellian was seemingly pleased to see that Lucifer was fine.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly his face started twitching.
"Fuck!" he cursed out loud as he closed the screen suddenly.
In their worries for Lucifer, he had forgotten that he wasn\'t supposed to see Lucifer because the data could\'ve been accessed by the guests from Atlantis.
He hoped that it didn\'t affect things too much since the guests were busy with the Warlock Council.
He connected to his shadow again, surprised that no battle was going on at the moment.
Instead, the Atlantis Minister was standing with a frown on his face.
There was a hologram before him, which was showing Lucifer.
"Where is he?" he asked.
"This...?"
Jian immediately recognized the hologram of Lucifer. It was the face that was imprinted in his mind from the moment the witnesses made a portrait of him.
He was the only culprit of his parents\' death that he couldn\'t find. In fact, he has tried to come up with all the assumptions about how this guy might look after thirty years so he could find him.
Seeing Lucifer, he believed that this guy was the son of the person he wanted to find since he looked mostly the same.
The only difference was the eyes. He was told that the killed had beautiful blue eyes, but the person in the hologram had only one blue eye, the other being violet.
Seeing Lucifer, Jian believed that he had found a way to locate the killer of his father.
"Who is this boy? Tell me this instant!" he yelled at the old man.
"Hmm?" The old man was slightly stunned. Seeing this hologram, why did Jian act like this? Why did he seem like he wanted to kill this guy and didn\'t recognize him? He didn\'t feel that Jian was pretending.
He couldn\'t help but doubt if what he was told was true. Either this guy was a great actor, or he truly didn\'t know Lucifer.
"You\'re telling me you don\'t know him? He\'s a leader of the Warlock Council of yours."
"I know all the leaders. He isn\'t one. Tell me the truth! Who is he, and where can I find him?"
The old man opened his mouth to speak something when a loud beeping noise attracted his attention.
He looked down as the sound was coming from the gloves.
He grazed his fingers on the gloves.
"Scanning of all the databases completed. Signs of manipulation discovered." A feminine voice came.
"The corrupt pieces of data have been recovered. Do you want to see it?"
"Show me," The old man said.
"Corrupt data?" The Atlantis Soldier asked the old man.
"Yeah, it was a bit odd that all the data was deleted."
