Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 116 - 116: Xander In A Mess

"Was my father wrong?" Lucifer’s question was proving to be a hard pill for Draco to swallow.

He knew he had to lie but wouldn’t that mean he would have to imply that helping humans was fine? That was also wrong since they needed to keep Lucifer against humans.

"I don’t think he did wrong. Your father never fought against Variant Uprising for humans. He only saved them from the beasts and from disasters," Draco answered, lying a bit.

It wasn’t entirely true that they hadn’t gone against Zale Azarel before. They clashed with him once, only to be defeated by him.

But he couldn’t tell Lucifer about this. He had to make him believe that they were the good guys that even Lucifer’s father never tried to oppose.

"Your father only protected them, maybe because he had faith that humanity would improve. And he wasn’t wrong. Faith is important as well."

"Unfortunately, even after he sacrificed himself for them, Humanity hurt his son instead. So it’s not that your father was wrong, but it is that humanity was entirely wrong. They don’t deserve the status quo. They always misuse it. It is time for the balance of the world to shift," he said, fully determined as if he was talking from his heart.

Lucifer didn’t reply and just focused on eating.

Only when he finished eating did he stand up.

"You sound very similar to someone I met before. He also told me why humans are able to rule. Only the approach is different. He said that it was because of their brain. They don’t use strength as much as their brain. You also say the same thing but differently," Lucifer told Draco, agreeing with him.

"That’s right. They have a clever head. That’s why we don’t attack blindly without a plan, despite having so much strength," Draco replied.

Even though Lucifer didn’t say anything, hearing those words explained why these people wanted to help Lucifer with a plan. But he still needed to listen to them first.

Finishing up the dinner, he walked back to his room, leaving the man behind.

"Tell me if you need anything. I will be right here," Draco called out before entering his room which was nearby. This was his task, and he was going to stay here to keep an eye on Lucifer.

There was a camera in the hallway which had a feed in his laptop. Whenever Lucifer stepped out, he was going to know since his entire work was to monitor and watch his every move.

...

"So, Xander... what do you have to say for yourself?"

Inside a heavily guarded building, a meeting was currently taking place that was attended by the three APF leaders.

Xander, Ayn, and Varant were the only three people in this meeting.

Nevertheless, it seemed like it was not a meeting but more likely an inquisition since Xander was the only one answering the questions of Varant.

"Your team... failed to control a kid! Not only that, but half of them died. Furthermore, you used so many of our resources without even consulting me. How will you justify yourself? I need your reasonable explanation for this!"

Varant was the peak of APF. He was not only the leader of the Alpha Squad but also the head of the entire APF. Aside from that, he was also known as one of the strongest Warlocks at the moment.

About five years ago, it was said that there were Four Warlock Kings of this country.

Zale Azarel was the strongest amongst the four Warlock Kings. Varant, who was the leader of the APF Alpha squad. Zeiss, the Hunter Union leader. And lastly, Raia, the Variant Uprising Leader.

There were no official rankings, but everyone knew that Zale Azarel was the strongest. As for the other three, they were said to be almost equal when it comes to their power and ability.

Even though Zale Warlock was already gone, the title of Four Warlock Kings still remained. For the reason that a new addition had taken the world by storm~ Salazar Lucia.

He had just started rising a year after the disappearance of Zale Azarel, but at the moment, he was already considered equal to Varant, Zeiss, and Raia.

His strength was said to be very strong, although he was unaffiliated to any organization.

Despite the tempting offers from all three factions, he refused to join any of them. In that department, he was just like Zale Azarel, who also stayed unaffiliated.

Many people saw similarities between the temperament of Salazar and Zale. It was even said that Salazar was a fan of Zale; that’s why he chose to remain unaffiliated just like his idol. In any case, no one knew the true reason behind his decision.

The only thing that was for sure was that this country still had Four Warlock Kings, and Varant was one of them and possibly the one with the most unique powers that could make any Warlock useless in a fight as long as certain conditions were met.

Despite his name and personality, whoever met him still wondered if he was actually Varant because of his attire.

Varant often wore a suit as if he was a boss of some professional organization. He didn’t forget to wear a tie either. His dark hair and eyes matched his CEO look, making him seem like a cold man.

Most people would be intimidated when being interrogated by him, but Xander was perfectly calm. It was unclear if it was because of his ability or because he was generally calm before Varant since they were part of the same organization.

"That is right. I used the resources of our facility instead of telling you directly. And it was because I wanted to help Zale’s son. I didn’t want him to become useless or killed, which probably would have happened if you had gotten involved," Xander answered, justifying his decision.

"It would, but that would also mean we wouldn’t have lost so many men," Varant said, staring deep into the eyes of Xander as if trying to see if this guy had even the tiniest bit of remorse or not.
