Chapter 643 - 643: Possibility

"Is it really you? Where are you?" Lucifer asked. 

A calm response came from the other end. 

"Tell me how it's possible. What are you doing there?" Lucifer further asked, still confused. "I don't think it should be possible after what..."

Lucifer stopped flying since he was more interested in hearing the response. 

After ten minutes of silence, he finally continued. "Fascinating. Do one thing then. Veracity will be coming here. I want you to come with her as well. We'll handle the rest here."

After finishing, Lucifer took off his glasses and kept them in his pockets. 

He was still slightly surprised. He couldn't help but look at the darkening sky. "So such things are possible as well..."

He continued his flight again, going back to the Warlock Council headquarters. Along the way, he noticed that some of the battles were still going on. The Warlocks were really putting up a fight even against the Nobles. 

Unfortunately, they didn't seem to have an advantage. 

On the way back to the Warlock Council headquarters, he did help out a bit by taking out some of the Warlocks and helping his side, but he didn't go out of his way to help others because he believed they didn't need his help at the moment. 

Lucifer reached the Warlock Council headquarters. At this time, the entire building was cleared. Hundreds of Warlocks that were inside the building were killed. While Arthur took care of the bottom half of the building, Milena handled the top half. 

As for Eve, she was walking behind Milena, talking to her about random things to have some entertainment and to distract herself about what happened on the roof. 

Just as Lucifer reached the headquarters, he noticed someone standing near the entrance, wondering if he should enter. 

The young man was wearing black spectacles and was carrying two books with him. 

Lucifer landed before the man, placing his hand on his shoulder. 

"Looking for something?" he asked Vega. 

"Yeah. I was waiting for Salazar. He went inside to check if it was fine for me to enter," Vega replied, smiling. 

"Why worry about such things? Come with me. This place is ours now." Lucifer smirked as he stepped inside the building with Vega. 

Along the way, he also found Salazar, who was coming out after checking. 

"Salazar, it's good that you're here. You need to be coming with me as well." Lucifer lazily said. The way he talked seemed odd. But no one could understand what truly felt off. 

Salazar and Vega followed Lucifer to the floor where the Defense room existed. 

Lucifer stopped before a door and kicked it open. 

"Vega, this place is the defense room. I want you to go inside and take over their system to remove all the restrictions in this building. Be fast. I'll wait for you."

"I'll do it right away." Vega stepped inside and started taking control of the headquarters. 

He was even faster than Kellian since he was truly an expert in technology and one of the best in the Uprising. Within seconds, he finished and stepped out. 

"I'm done."

"Good. We can go to the top floor now."

Going back to the lift, Lucifer went to the top floor of the building, which was actually restricted for anyone else in this place. 

As he reached the top floor, he noticed that Milena, Arthur, and Eve were already here with the help of their teleportation. 

"Did you finish it?" Lucifer asked Milena. 

Milena nodded. "Not a single person is alive in this building except us." 

"Good." Lucifer walked to the main hall, inviting others to follow him as well. It was as if he had something important to do. 

He sat on the couch but didn't say anything for quite some time. He just looked at everyone before him who was looking confused. He didn't seem pleased for some reason. 

The only person that Lucifer wasn't looking at was Eve. 

"Do you want to say something?" Salazar asked. 

"I do have something important to do. So let's start with you first." Lucifer looked at Salazar. 

"I need your answer. Why did you disobey me and not tell me?" he asked. "Depending on your answer, what happens next will be decided."

"Are you doubting my intentions?" Salazar asked.

"I asked you to answer, not to ask me a question in return. Why did you not tell me?" Lucifer asked again, resting one leg above the other while sitting more comfortably. 

Salazar took a deep breath. "It's because I thought you wouldn't understand. I thought you would still ask us to leave since you want to handle everything alone. So I didn't tell you. I wanted to be here to help you when you needed it." 

"You're an idiot; you know that?" Lucifer told Salazar, shaking his head. "Whatever. You can take a seat. But if you disobey me next time or keep secrets from me, I might not wait to hear an explanation."

Salazar walked to the chair nearby and took a seat. 

"Next, let's start with Arthur..." Lucifer smiled, looking at Arthur in the back. "I think you did really great in the War. You were the reason we could stop the Warlock Heads from running away. Good work."

Arthur nodded his head. 

"You can sit as well." 

Arthur also took a chair and sat. 

"Milena..." Lucifer commented, shifting to the third person. 

"You had almost died today because of your overconfidence which might have killed all your Nobles as well. You know how bad it would have been?"

"Not only that, you even attacked me in your haste, almost dying twice in such a short time. The lives of quite a lot of people depend on you. And I don't want Arthur to die because you were careless."

"So next time, try to be more careful. You may sit as well."

Milena rolled her eyes but understood that he wasn't wrong. 

"Next, Eve..." Lucifer said, glancing at Eve. 

"You disobeyed my commands and came to the City, leaving the oversight of Salazar. That was really stupid. But then again, I already knew you were an idiot in such matters. So next time, don't be this stupid. You can sit as well."

After Lucifer finished, Eve also stepped ahead to take a seat, but instead of sitting away from Lucifer, she sat right beside him. 

Lucifer didn't react and let her sit. It wasn't a big deal. 

Lastly, he shifted to Vega. 

"And lastly, Vega... The true reason for this meeting." Lucifer sighed. "Do you know what you did wrong? Tell me what you did.. Maybe I might forgive you."
