Chapter 647 - 647: Right There

Milena got back to her place and started commanding everyone to finish faster since she believed that's what Lucifer wanted. 

In the meantime, Lucifer laid in an unknown corner on the twelfth floor. His body temperature had started rising immensely, and his body continued sweating.

At the same time, it also seemed like a droplet of tears was coming out of his eyes. The trembling of his hands had stopped, but his body had started shivering instead as if he was lying in sub-zero temperature, finding no source of warmth. 

Outside the Warlock Council headquarters, Lucifer's men continued searching each house, trying to find any Warlocks that had survived and were in hiding. 

And luckily, they managed to find tens of such people before finishing their search. All of them were killed and tossed to be gathered by Nobles in the middle of the city. 

The civilians of the city were scared about what was happening. They even tried contacting the city authorities, but no one picked up their phone. 

All they knew was that something big was happening, and they could only hide inside their house, waiting for everything to be alright. 

Within an hour, all the bodies were gathered in the middle of the city, which was quite a lot. There were hundreds of bodies present there. Even Milena wondered how she was going to transport them all inside. 

It took her close to thirty minutes and constant back and forth to send all the bodies inside the headquarters. 

On the other hand, Arthur was still busy. 

Another hour passed before Arthur returned to the top floor as well.

"I'm done!" He exclaimed, looking tired as he sat on the soda. 

"Why are you looking so angry?" He asked, noticing anger on Alicia's face. "Did you get scolded or something?"

"Nah. She is sad because she was defeated," Cassius answered instead. 

"Defeated?"

"Yeah. In the game of pool," Cassius laughed. "And now she owes one wish to Eve."

"What wish?"

"That's the problem. She didn't tell me what she wanted me to do. She said she will tell me later!" Alicia exclaimed. "I wonder what she would ask. That aside, I don't understand how I lost! She must have been lucky!"

"Where is Eve though?" Arthur asked. 

"She is taking a shower," Alicia answered. 

"And where is Her Majesty? Did she still not finish?" 

"She was just here. She went out not long before you came."

"And Lucifer?" 

"How would I know? I last saw him at the same time when you saw him. He hasn't returned yet. Must be busy somewhere," Alicia replied. "Not sure what that might be? Did you need him for something?"

"Yeah. I wanted to inform him that I gathered the bodies."

"Let me contact him and tell him then. It can be a good excuse to ask him where he is." Cassius brought his phone out; however, he soon kept it back. 

"I forgot, all the signals are jammed. I can't even contact him as my phone is ordinary one."

"Fine. I guess I'll just wait for him to return."

...

Three more hours passed. All the work was completed, and the Nobles were free, just like the Uprising members. All they could do was keep an eye on the city, waiting for further commands. 

Salazar was leading the teams outside to keep an eye on their surroundings since they knew Andrim could be coming anytime soon. 

Arthur was there with him to help as well, along with Tristan. 

Back inside the headquarters, most of the senior members were sitting on the top floor, waiting for Lucifer. 

Some were even eating as they hadn't eaten for a long time. But there was not a single person who wasn't wondering where Lucifer was. 

Lucifer was still lying unconscious on the ground. The glasses, which were almost in his hands, had started vibrating as someone started calling him. 

Unfortunately, there was no one to respond. 

....

Back in Uprising Headquarters, Kane was frowning as he walked back and forth. 

"Strange. Why isn't he picking up?" He asked, frowning. "It is really important! Come on, pick up!" 

He tried once again, but no one picked up this time either. 

Sigh~

He could only give up and try something else. 

He looked at one of the men in the back who was sitting on the computer. 

"We have access to Warlock Council headquarters, right?"

"Yeah."

"Remove the jamming in the building. I want to contact someone else."

As per his command, the signal blocking was temporarily disabled in the building. The same was still active in the entire city.

"Done."

"Good." This time, Kane called someone else. 

...

Back in the headquarters, the phone of Cassius started ringing. 

He brought his phone out and checked the unknown number. 

He picked up the call. "Who?"

"Sir Cassius, I'm Kane. I'm speaking from Elisium."

"Ah, yeah. Kane. I know you. What do you need?"

"I was wondering if Sir Lucifer was sitting with you?"

"Lucifer? He isn't here. Did you need something from him?"

"Yeah. I've been trying to contact him for a long time. But he isn't picking up!"

"I'm not sure. Maybe he's busy outside? Tell me what you need. I'll tell you when he gets back."

"That's odd. I'm getting the signal from his glasses. It's coming from the same building. Are you really sure he isn't there? I don't think he'll leave his glasses behind? Especially after what task he gave me?"

"Are you sure you're getting his signal from this building? That's odd. In any case, I'll search everywhere to see if what you're saying is true. Don't worry. When I find him, I'll tell him to contact you."

"We don't have the time for you to find him! I come with important news!"

"What news?"

"Lucifer asked me to keep an eye on the other Warlock Council members that were outside the city. And apparently, one of them is coming to the city!"

"Who?"

"He is known as Andrim. His power of transformation. Be wary of him. And try to take him out as fast as you can because the longer he fights, the stronger he gets!"

"When is he coming?"

"His chopper isn't far from the city. It'd take ten minutes at best before his chopper would be inside the city."

"I'll inform the others. We'll be prepared. Send me the direction where he would be coming from."

"I'll send you everything. In fact, I'll give you his live tracking. Just try to take him out.. And it would be best if you could find Lucifer before that and inform him."
