BXBX NOVEL Chapter 763
Chapter 763
Jian and his four partners stood right outside the Capital City of Triton, covered in a shroud that made them all invisible to a certain extent to all cameras and human eyes.
"I thought they would have more people since they took over the city, but I can only see a few people keeping an eye on the border," Aron asked, observing the one man he could see standing on top of the city wall, looking out.
"I don\'t think they have many members either. Their biggest strength was Lucifer, who isn\'t here at this time. Without him, they are only a few random Warlocks who are too low on numbers to defend this city," Jian responded.
"Still, just to be sure, we should be careful." He turned to a silver haired man on his left. "Uri, can you see through the city and tell us what the situation is inside? I think you should be able to cover the entire city from this range."
The Silver-haired man nodded. His eyes turned stark white as he focused in the direction of the city.
An invisible layer of mist surrounded the entire city, slowly creeping inside the city. The odorless, invisible mist avoided touching any person as it kept spreading throughout the city.
The mist covered all the houses and the streets of the city discreetly. The mist didn\'t get closer to the Warlock Council headquarters for some reason.
Uri opened his eyes which returned to their usual black color. "There are around thirty enemies in the city, spread thin to cover the entire city."
"Including Kellian and others?"
"No. I\'m talking about the ones that are outside the Warlock Council headquarters. I don\'t know how many of them are inside the headquarters."
"Why don\'t you look inside?"
"The defense of the headquarters is really strong. I personally helped make it. And I took all precautions. Even if it\'s my abilities that tried to infiltrate the headquarters, it will set off an alarm. They will find out about it.\'
"I understand. So we need to take back the city first without alerting the ones in the headquarters. Only then can we risk entering."
"Exactly. So, do you want to spread out or travel together?"
Jian glanced at Aron. "Since it\'s a stealth mission, we would need your shroud to keep us invisible. We can\'t let anyone survive and alert others. So we will travel together."
"Uri will guide us on where to go for our targets, and we\'ll take them out."
"Uri, take the lead."
Uri took his first step, which was the first of the many he was going to take towards reclaiming the Warlock Council headquarters.
The group of five entered the city, avoiding all the safety mechanisms. It was their own city. It was the city that they created themselves. They knew even the minutest details of the city and just what safety mechanisms there were.
It was like child\'s play for them to avoid what they created. They also played it safe and remained vigilant as they kept an eye out for new mechanisms that could\'ve been placed by Uprising.
However, the chances of that happening were low since Uprising hadn\'t been in the control of that city for so long.
The city was under the control of a different administration, yet the situation didn\'t seem much different. Other than the buildings that were missing, most of the city looked the same as before.
The roads were repaired, the wreckage was cleared.
People had once again started coming out of their houses after coming to terms with what had happened. Still, there was fear in the hearts of many. Most of the citizens didn\'t dare to leave the house, which was slowly changing.
As more and more citizens left their homes and experienced the life outside, they realized that they probably didn\'t need to be scared. Everything was normal outside as the war was over. Moreover, it didn\'t seem like the Uprising members wanted to hurt them.
The Nobles needed blood to work efficiently, but because of laws established by Lucifer, there was no cafe where they could compel humans and take their blood. They received all the blood supply from the hospitals.
That was also why blood donation was motivated even more, and people were given rewards for donating Blood.
Everything seemed to be stable in the city, and things were only getting better.
An Uprising member was standing near the entrance of the city, talking to a girl who he found quite interesting.
As he had taken an interest in her, he wanted to know her more. The girl was an ordinary human though. She noticed the attire of the man and knew that he was one of the Uprising members.
To her, he was too strong and frightening enough to kill her if she said something wrong. She just kept talking to him, fearful for her life.
The man noticed the fear in the eyes of the lady.
"You are scared of me, aren\'t you?"
"Ah, That\'s..."
"No need to deny. I can understand how it can be. I\'ve just helped take over this city and killed many people. If I were in your place, I would\'ve been scared too."
"But I hope you trust me when I say it. I haven\'t hurt anyone who didn\'t stand in the path of our mission. I haven\'t killed anyone for any personal reason. And I won\'t hurt you even if you leave right now. I\'m not the kind of person who will force a girl."
"Just think of me as a normal human because that\'s what I am for you. I\'ve never taken such interest in anyone, but that changed as soon as I saw you. If you think you can give me a chance, say yes to going on a date with me."
"I just need a single shred of hope. And if you don\'t want to give me a chance or can\'t trust me, say no and leave. I won\'t even stop you. That\'s the promise of a Warlock that can never be broken!"
"So, what\'s your answer? He asked, looking deep in the eyes of a girl.
"I-i... I will give you a chance." The girl nodded.
A beautiful smile spread across the lips of the man, but that smile soon disappeared as his lips opened a bit.
The girl seemed horrified.
The man raised his right hand, touching his neck. He glanced at his fingers which were covered in blood.
He tried to look behind; however, as soon as he moved his body, his head came falling down.
His head dropped to the ground, followed by his body.
