Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 255 - 255: The Talk

"Don’t get me wrong, but I’m really surprised to see him having a friend. From what I saw, he doesn’t look like a person to have friends," Veracity said, smiling.

"Because you just met him. You don’t know about him," Cassius answered.

"I hope so," Veracity muttered as she shook her head. "But I doubt anyone truly knows him."

After a moment of pause, she further asked, "So, you three are friends and part of a team?"

"I guess you can say that. Even though I don’t know Jiang either, personally," Cassius replied. "In any case, it’s not three now. You’re also a part of it."

The night seemed to be getting darker as even the moon wasn’t visible in the sky.

Glancing at the darkness outside, Veracity said, "I suppose I am now. But I’m also concerned. You people really want to go against APF, which will bring you against the government and Hunter Union too. Chances of success are too low while chances of failure are immense."

Cassius didn’t say anything since he wasn’t ready to think that far. He was living in the moment and sticking for what he believed in. As for the consequences, he didn’t want to think.

....

Two cars were racing on the empty streets, driving back to Kensington. While the car behind was occupied by Cassius and Veracity, the car on the front was occupied by three people.

Jiang was sitting in the driver’s seat while Lucifer sat in the passenger seat. As for Ayn, she was sitting on Lucifer’s lap, adjusting. She still seemed unconscious though.

To keep her from moving here and there, Lucifer had wrapped his arms around her slim waist.

Jiang glanced at Lucifer as he smirked. "How does it feel?"

"How does what feel?" Lucifer asked, glancing back at Jiang. He didn’t know why but he could see a weird smile on Jiang’s face.

"Oh, come on! You know what I’m talking about. How does it feel to have such a hot lady sitting on your lap? You might be young and ruthless, but you’re still a man on the inside," Jiang said, laughing.

Lucifer squinted his eyes, glaring at Jiang. "Don’t speak nonsense and focus on the road."

Jiang stopped speaking, but the smile was still on his face.

"So, Lucifer. Have you had the talk yet?" Jiang further asked after a long time.

"What talk?" Lucifer asked again.

"The birds and the bees?" Jiang let out.

"What do you mean?" Lucifer asked again.

"You know, the talk about the romantic relationship between a man and a woman. The basic talk about the do’s and don’ts. Don’t tell me you never had that? Are you really that innocent?" Jiang asked, surprised.

"Jiang..." Lucifer said softly.

"Yes?" Jiang asked in return.

"Do you want to know what an electric shock feels like?" Lucifer asked calmly.

"What do you mean?" It was Jiang’s turn to be confused.

"I heard electric shock is used to repair the minds of a few. If you don’t stop talking about this nonsense, I’ll have to test that theory on you. And I don’t want to have to do that since I’m in a hurry to get back home," Lucifer said.

"Ah, alright. I understand. I won’t speak about it. In fact, I also want to go home fast so I can sleep in peace and take off this weird disguise," Jiang said, rolling his eyes.

"Do you know how hard it was to keep this fake beard and wig all the time? It gets so itchy," he further said.

"I know, but it’s important. We can be seen, the cars can be seen, but you can not be seen. You’re the hidden card of ours," Lucifer replied.

"The wealth and the money will be gone, and our location will be discovered if someone recognizes that you’re the new billionaire," he continued.

"So whenever we go out together, you’ll either have to get a similar disguise or a mask. Mask would seem off, so disguise was better for now," he further said.

"Next time, I’m wearing a mask. It’s better than this," Jiang said.

"Fine. You can use the mask next time," Lucifer said as he closed his eyes. "By the way, I did have that talk. I’m not that naive."

"What talk?" Jiang asked, smiling cheekily. His smile, however, disappeared as he saw Lucifer glare at him.

"I understand. It’s good. I just thought that you were naive about this. It’s good to know that you’ve grown in all departments of knowledge," he said.

"By the way, do you feel attracted to this lady? She’s really beautiful, I must say. Snow-like skin, good figure, beautiful eyes, silky hair... Anything a man could ask for. Did she manage to touch the strings of your heart?" Jiang inquired.

"Jiang, this is the third warning. We’re ending this topic now, and that’s final. I don’t have time to talk about this nonsense," Lucifer replied.

Without stopping, he further continued, "As for the strings of my heart, there aren’t any. My heart is only filled with darkness and darkness alone. There’s no room for anyone else in there. So there’s no girl in this world that can touch anything inside my heart."

’That’s what you think, young man. I’m sure there will one day be a girl that will become dear to you. A man like you will always be surrounded by women when you take over this nation. We’ll see how you handle it then. If you’re still as strict or not,’ Jiang thought, smiling.

In the pin-drop silence, time kept passing. Lucifer sat so close to Ayn that he could even hear her breathing as her chest moved up and down.

He wasn’t looking at her though. Instead, he lowered the window and started looking outside at the silent darkness that had spread everywhere.

"Darkness is really beautiful, isn’t it? The day brings all this noise and annoyance while the darkness comes with peaceful silence," Lucifer let out as he again brought his hand out the window without taking off his gloves.

As for Ayn, he now held her with only one hand.

"It’s true, I guess," Jiang agreed.

He took a casual glance at Lucifer, who seemed to be lost in some deep thought.

"So, what are your plans after destroying the APF? After you’re done with revenge, what do you want to do?" he asked.

"Certainly not what I wanted to do before. I won’t repeat the same mistake," Lucifer replied.

"What mistake? What do you mean?" Jiang asked.

"The facility... When I came back to life for the first time, you know what I wanted?" Lucifer asked as he continued looking out the window.
