Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 412 - 412: We Didn't

"Someone certainly framed us, and this guy fell for it. But will he believe us if we tell him? He didn’t even listen to the commander. He is too upset." The green-eyed man stood up and started walking back and forth, worrying.

He was known as Heath. He was not a leader of the faction, but he was the most calm-headed person here. Instead of being scared for the future, he was trying to think of a way to get out of it.

No matter how much he thought about it, he knew that convincing Lucifer was the only option, but he also knew that it was almost impossible. This guy wasn’t going to learn at all. What could he do? That was the question floating in his head.

...

While Heath thought of a way to get out of this situation, Lucifer kept advancing deeper and deeper into the tunnel, getting close to the control room.

Along the way, he found many men in the tunnel carrying weapons. Seeing Lucifer coming towards them, they started firing in his direction.

Casually waving his hand, Lucifer created a barrier in front of him, using the ability he had stolen from the monster inside the Dungeon.

The barrier wasn’t the strongest barrier that existed in the arsenal of Warlocks. In fact, it was weaker than the barrier that Alicia used for herself. Still, this barrier easily protected him from the bullets that were raining on him.

He waved his other hand, creating a smaller tornado inside the tunnel, which moved towards the soldiers, taking them in its embrace before shredding them from piece to piece.

All the firing suddenly stopped as the soldiers were killed. Keeping his hands in his pocket, Lucifer casually stepped ahead while the tornado ran ahead of him like his bodyguard, protecting him.

....

Only Heath remained inside the underground Command Center while all the others ran away at the sight of Lucifer advancing towards them. They didn’t want to be like lambs waiting for slaughter.

It was risky, but they used the Tunnels to escape, hoping that they weren’t going to meet Lucifer. As for some rare few, they didn’t want to take the risk of being caught by Lucifer.

Instead, they took the risk of going out on the ground in an effort to escape even though tornadoes were wrecking the whole city.

Soon, the only person who was left was Heath. He stood alone in the command center, not running away. Many people tried to convince him to run away with them, but he didn’t listen.

Instead, he stayed behind, making others think that he had given up and accepted death. They didn’t know that it wasn’t because Heath had accepted death. Instead, it was because he wanted to try his hand at survival.

He walked back to his desk and started using the system to investigate something.

The first thing he did was find the site of the crash to know where this event occurred and if there was any military site near that place that might have attacked.

...

Lucifer soon reached the command center, taking care of anyone that appeared in his path.

Standing at the entrance of the Command Center Room, he observed the back of the only man who was left behind.

He casually walked closer to the man, not even trying to hide the sound of his footsteps.

Tap!

Tap!

Tap!

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Heath slowly turned around. Even though he had prepared himself for this moment, seeing Lucifer stand in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

"You didn’t run away. Why?" Lucifer asked, stopping before the man. He observed the screen, noticing what the man was doing.

"Those spots? Are they Dalia Military Bases?" Lucifer asked, reading the search headlines on top.

"T-that’s right. I heard the conversation of yours with our Commander before you k... I mean before he died. I heard that you’re here because your plane was blown up. Now, I know we didn’t do it."

"And before you ask about it, I also noticed those statements online that claim to be from us, but they aren’t from us. We didn’t release those statements at all. They all only appeared after the plane was blown up as if someone was trying to shift the blame to us!"

"So I was trying to get to the truth. I wanted to know who actually did it and if it was some rogue base from our organization," Heath told Lucifer.

"Interesting. Let’s suppose I believe you. Now, tell me, who did it? Was it really a rogue base of yours?" Lucifer asked, curious. "From what you’re searching, I don’t think you believe that."

"That’s right. I found the location of the crash and where the plane was blown up! As it turns out, we don’t even have a base in that area. Now, we do have long-range missiles, but none have the range to get to your place from our closest base to that place," Heath explained.

"That’s why we made most of our bases close to the Capital of Dalia so we could threaten it. Even our longest missile only has a two hundred kilometers range. That’s why none of them are kept here since we can’t blow up Dalia Capital from here!" he continued.

"Here, let me show you the details of all our bases and what weapons they possess and their ranges! You can judge for yourself!" he further added, opening another tab on his systems.

It showed ten red dots on the map. Most of these dots were close to Dalia Capital, forming a cage-like formation.

He showed Lucifer the arsenal of all these bases, none of which were capable of blowing up his helicopter.

"I can confirm; we aren’t capable of blowing up planes! Why would we even blow up international planes? We aren’t stupid. If it were just about forcing Dalia to give up, attacking Dalia cities would’ve been much better!" Heath explained.

"On the other hand, look at these yellow dots! They are the Dalia Military bases, according to our information. And as it happens, one of them was close to the place where this explosion took place!"

"It’s probably the work of Dalia to make us the enemy of the whole world, to get more support! But this time, they didn’t just blow up any ordinary plane."

"They blew up your plane, which I’m sure they wouldn’t have done if they knew someone like you was inside! As our commander said, this is a big misunderstanding which affected us for no fault of our own!"
