Chapter 712 - 712

Lucifer reached the mansion of the Raasin Clan, which was much more heavily guarded than anything he ever saw before. 

The Raasin Clan was like a fortress. 

"Are they so scared of being attacked? Even the Academy didn't have that much security." Lucifer observed the surroundings. 

He could see some really incredible security measures. There were lasers surrounding the Mansion, which made a web that was impossible to pass without being detected. 

At that point, he wasn't sure if the lasers were only going to set up an alarm or if they were true lasers which could split them all in half.

Fortunately, the lasers weren't enough to stop a shadow from entering, which stuck close to the ground. 

Other than the lasers, there were also cameras all around. All the cameras were keeping an eye on every spot in the surrounding, leaving no blind spot. 

Each guard was carrying guns that could fire multiple bullets at once. 

Lucifer took a deep breath, preparing to enter the mansion. 

"I think it's time to test something new."

He turned into a shadow and passed through the web of lasers, and kept moving towards the entrance of the mansion. 

He walked from right past the guards without being discovered, all thanks to the clouded sky that had darkened the ground. 

The clouds weren't ordinary either since they came with Lucifer to make his shadows more stealthy. 

Through the small crack on the bottom of the door, he passed through and entered the mansion. 

Unlike the outside, the mansion on the inside was much more quiet. There weren't many people here. He could only see some servants. However, there were certainly many cameras even inside. That didn't change. 

He had received the information about the room of Jake from Milena, which was on the second floor of the mansion. 

This was where the problem began though. The hall was filled with light which made a shadow easy to notice. Moreover, the floor was also pure white which made things worse. 

He temporarily sent his Shadows and covered all the cameras with the shadows so they could only transmit a black light. After using the same trick, he advanced to the stairs. 

Unfortunately, he didn't notice one hidden camera that was placed on the roof itself. It was hidden near the fan. 

All the cameras turned dark, which alerted the security guards of the mansion. However, one camera wasn't dark, which made them focus on the camera itself. It was clear that this wasn't a technical error. 

Moreover, they also noticed a dark shadow moving up the stairs. It was for a brief second before the shadow left the view of the camera. 

For a second, the security staff even wondered if they saw something real. They rewinded the footage and checked once again. Only after making sure it was what they saw did they stand up. 

"An intruder has entered the mansion! Ring the alarm!" He commanded. 

"Wait. I don't think we should yet." Another man chimed in, stopping. 

"Why not? It's clearly an intruder! I don't think he has any good intentions for sneaking in!"

"I know that, but someone who dares to enter the Raasin Clan mansion? Don't you think that's very interesting? You think someone would dare to do that if they weren't confident?"

"The person snuck inside the mansion without being seen. And that's just what we know. That person is really good at stealth. If we ring the alarm, he might run away! He is an annoying intruder!"

"Do you think we shouldn't do anything? What are you trying to say?"

"I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that we should inform the Master first. Let him make a decision first. What if he ran away while we're talking to Master?"

"I don't think he will run away. He went to the floor where Master lives. There aren't any treasures on that floor. The safe is on the ground floor."

"You mean he came with a different intent?"

"I believe that. He is probably sent by the other Great Families. Only they can be stupid enough to think about doing such things. If I'm not wrong, he is here to kill Master. We can use that to our advantage."

"That... Does sound good. I'll inform Master first."

...

"You couldn't even capture people?! I swear to god, I'm feeding stupid people who can't even do one task right!"

"He just wasn't here when we got here. Even the Driver says he doesn't know. I think he ran as soon as he saw us. As for how he did that, I don't know. Should we start searching around the city?" 

"No need. When you couldn't capture him after knowing where he was, I can't expect you to catch him when he ran away."

"Then...?"

"Send a man to all hotels and restaurants. Give them the description of the man and tell them to inform us when he gets there. I'm sure they'll go for some place to rest inside. Get to work. And no mistakes this tim-"

Beep~

"Hmm?" 

While giving his instructions, he felt his phone beeping and vibrating in his pocket. 

"Go and do as I said. Don't return before finding them!" He told the men before walking to his car. 

After reaching the car, he looked around.

"Yeah, what?"

...

"Are you sure?"

"Alright. Send me the footage. I'll be right there. Don't do anything in the meantime. I want to meet him personally." Jake disconnected the call and sat in the car. "Take us back to the mansion."

"Who was on the phone?" His wife asked him, seeing him smirking. 

"A guest is waiting for us at home. We shouldn't keep him waiting for long," the man muttered, smiling. 

The car started advancing towards the mansion. 

...

At another end of the same Island, Eve finally reached the small village where Lucifer used to live. She turned to her real self after reaching there and advanced towards the house of the old man. 

Kids were playing on the streets like normal. The adults and then teenagers were also coming back from fishing, only to see a lady as pretty as an angel. They just stayed staring at the lady. 

Eve already knew the direction, so she didn't have to ask anyone. She went straight to the house of the old man. There was no lock at the door. 

"Good, it seems that he didn't leave for the sea."

She knocked on the door; however, the door opened a bit as her hand landed on it. 

She didn't think too much about it since the old man often used to leave the door open. She pushed the door open and stepped inside. 

As soon as she entered, the door closed behind her on its own.
