Chapter 376: You're so Smart

None of the leaders raised any objections. Even though none of them wanted the sword of the Oversight Committee hanging on their heads, they couldn't oppose that either. 

If they opposed it, it would just show that they weren't going to be loyal, which wasn't the impression they wanted to make at the moment. Even the Rank 1 Guild Leader stayed silent. 

"That's good. It's settled then. You can leave." Kellian stood up and started leaving. 

"Ah, excuse me, Mr. Kellian?" 

"Yes?" Kellian asked, turning around. 

"I was just wondering if I could meet Mr. Lucifer. He saved our entire nation. I really wanted to meet and thank him personally," Derek said, giving an excuse on why he wanted to meet Lucifer. 

"Well, that's really nice of you. But you can't meet him right now. I'll tell him about you. If he wants, you'll get to meet him in the future," Kellian responded.

"What was your name though? Which guild are you from?" 

Kellian only knew the faces of the leaders of the top five guilds. He hadn't learned the faces of others before coming to this meeting. 

As for the verification and other stuff, it was handled by the other Warlocks. 

One of the Uprising Warlocks chimed in to help since he knew the information. "He is Derek's Quinn, from Red Eagles Guild."

"Red Eagles Guild? I think I heard that name before," Kellian muttered. "Very interesting. You can go. I'll inform your guild if a meeting can be arranged."

He departed with his team.

The Guild Leaders also left the building. Most of them left the city, going back to their Guilds. Some of them stayed behind in the city. 

Derek was one of the few that stayed inside the city. 

...

Kellian and his team members were walking in a corridor, discussing something. 

"Jean, isn't the Red Eagles Guild the one which was destroyed by Lucifer when he was young?"

A red-haired woman was walking behind him. 

She nodded. "That's right. He had a conflict with the Red Eagles Guild. If I'm not wrong, Lucifer killed their Vice Leader."

"He also killed a lot of their members. He didn't completely destroy them though. The Dungeon Dwellers finished them completely."

"That's certainly interesting. If I were their guild leader, I would have definitely tried to get my revenge. This guy, on the other hand, talks about thanking Lucifer? This doesn't match up. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Kellian asked, smirking. 

"He probably wants to get to Lucifer without having to fight us so he could kill him," Jean let out, taking an intelligent guess. 

"That should be the case. None of the guild leaders were that interested in meeting Lucifer. The only one who looked too eager was him. He's certainly here to kill Lucifer," Kellian affirmed. 

"Do you want me to take him out?" Jean asked. 

Kellian glanced at Jean, smiling. "You're so smart."

"It will be done," Jean understood the meaning of Kellian. She turned around and left. 

Kellian went to his office and got back to work. 

....

A passenger flight landed in the capital city. A young man was also inside that flight. He was none other than Warlock King Salazar Lucia, who had come to meet Lucifer. 

Leaving the airport, he went to the building which was being occupied by the Uprising. 

As Vega was keeping an eye on Salazar Lucia, he had already informed Kellian about this. 

As soon as Salazar left Legion City, Lucifer entered the Dungeon, which was why he couldn't be informed about the arrival of Salazar.

....

Ring! Ring!

As soon as Lucifer stepped out of the Dungeon, his phone started ringing. 

He picked the call and placed the phone near his ears. "Yeah?" 

"You're finally out. I think you should get to Capital City fast," Vega informed Lucifer. 

"Did something happen?" Lucifer asked, not understanding what was so urgent that needed his presence. 

"Warlock King Salazar Lucia has just landed in the Capital City. And he's going towards the new Uprising base in the Capital," Vega informed Lucifer. 

"Salazar? Why did he come to Capital? If he's there with Kellian... Then the Predictor's vision about the death... I'll take care of it." Lucifer stepped inside the helicopter, which was waiting for them. 

The two Variants that were guarding the entrance of the Dungeon watched Lucifer and his team step out. They were just about to ask when they saw Lucifer running towards the helicopter. 

"Hey, wait! What about Zeiss? Is he really...?"

"Zeiss is actually dead. The information was correct," Cassius informed the Hunter Union Variants before he ran after Lucifer.

He also stepped inside the helicopter. 

After telling the pilot to take them back as fast as possible, Lucifer returned to his seat. 

"Did something happen?" Cassius asked Lucifer, wondering what he heard over the call, which made him so eager to return. 

"Kellian's life is in danger," Lucifer answered in short before calling Kellian. 

...

Kellian was sitting in his office when his phone started ringing. 

Raising the phone, he noticed Lucifer's number. He instantly picked up the call.

"You're out of Dungeon?" he asked. 

"I am. But that's not important. What's important is that Salazar Lucia is coming towards you," Lucifer informed Kellian. 

"I know. And I intend to welcome him," Kellian replied calmly. 

"You'll do no such thing. You won't meet him until I get here!" Lucifer firmly commanded. 

"Is this about that dream?" Kellian asked, standing up. He walked over to the window and looked outside. "It wasn't a prediction."

"Don't take that dream lightly. Just stay away from Salazar for a little. Send someone else to greet him if he gets there with kind intentions. And if he's there to fight, even then, you can't come before him," Lucifer stated. 

"If he's here to fight, I can't ignore him. We already lost most of our members. We can't afford to lose more," Kellian replied. 

"I really think you shouldn't take that dream seriously. There's a good chance it wasn't a prediction but a random dream of Predictor," 

He was able to see Salazar Lucia outside the building through the window. 

"It seems like he's already here," Kellian said, but he didn't get any reply from Lucifer. 

"Hello? Are you there?"

He looked at the screen of his phone to realize that his phone didn't have any battery left. It had switched off. 

He walked to the table and placed the phone on charging. 

...

"This idiot!" Lucifer let out as the call was disconnected. 

He thought that Kellian intentionally disconnected the call since he didn't want to talk about this. 

He called again, but the number was out of reach.
