Inhuman Warlock

Lucifer picked up the call, placing the receiver on his ears.

"Julien, why is your phone off? Did you forget to charge it again?" Jian asked as soon as the call was picked up.

Lucifer frowned. The call was from Julien's family?

"Leaving that aside, mother is here. She wants to talk to you. I already heard her scolding. Now it's your turn, little brother."

Jian gave the phone to his mother. "You were right. He is still there. Scold him a lot and tell him to come fast."

"Julien?" A woman's voice came from the receiver. "Still busy at work? You can't even come to meet me? Sigh, what am I going to do with you."

Lucifer remained silent, not speaking anything.

"Who is it?" Kellian asked, seeing Lucifer in silence.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is something wrong?" The woman asked, finding the silence odd.?"Speak something..."

"What happened, mother?" Jian asked.

"I don't know; he isn't speaking anything."

"Julien?" The woman asked again.

"He isn't here." Finally, Lucifer said something.

"Hmm? Who are you? Where is Julien?" The woman asked.

"He left the base on some business. When he returns, I'll tell him his mother called." Lucifer disconnected the call after he finished speaking.

The woman looked at the phone in her hand in confusion.

"Did he not speak?" Jian asked, seeing the look on his mother's face.

"It was someone else. He said Julien left the base on some work. Must be a cleaner or other worker there. We can talk later." The woman returned the phone to Jian.

"It was someone else?" Jian muttered, frowning.

"Yeah, is something wrong?" The woman asked.

"Nothing. Don't worry about anything." Jian didn't want to make her mother worried by what he could grasp from just this bit of information, but things didn't seem right.

The helicopter landed on the roof of the Asade estate. Jian opened the door for her mother and stepped out.

As soon as the woman stepped out, the servants started showering flower petals on top of her.

Jian patted the shoulder of his mother. "Mother, go downstairs. I'll be right there. I just need to make a quick call. Freshen up, and then we'll have something to eat together."

The woman nodded and went downstairs with the butler.

Only Jian was left on the roof, frowning.

He turned to look at the peaceful city.

"Julien never allows anything in his room. The phone I called was in his room. There was no way a cleaner or another member would be there. And the silence... The shutdown of the airport... Something is wrong."

He brought out his phone again and called someone else. This time, he didn't call anyone inside the Warlock Council headquarters. Instead, he directly called his other sources that lived in the capital city.

He tried the number of five people, walking back and forth, but none of the calls were connected.

The entire city was still under lockdown, where all the incoming and outgoing signals were stopped. Only the Warlock Council headquarters could receive or make calls.

Jian called as many people as he knew, but none of the calls connected.

His suspicions were becoming more and more solid with each passing second.

Ultimately, he decided to call the room of Julien again.

...

"Who was on the call?" Kellian asked.

"That's exactly what I'm wondering," Lucifer frowned.

"Ramian was killed right before my eyes. His son was also killed. The man with the power of time was also killed. So who exactly was the family of Julien?" Lucifer muttered, frowning.

"Kellian, contact Kane. Tell him to find information about the family of Julien if he's done locating our men."

"I'll tell him right away." Kellian nodded, but as soon as he turned around, the phone started ringing again.

Lucifer picked up the phone again.

As soon as Lucifer picked up, the first word he heard was a question. "Who are you? Where is Julien?"

"I heard the woman ask that same question. I lied to her that he had gone outside. What can I say? I didn't feel like telling her the truth. But you're different," Lucifer replied. "If she is still beside you, I would advise you to turn off the speaker."

"The call isn't on speaker," Jian let out. "Now tell me, where is Julien?"

Lucifer glanced out the window at the beautiful sun. "I sent him a long time ago. Even if there was traffic, he should've reached the destination by now."

"What destination?"

"Hell, of course. Where else would I send the people who try to hurt my men," Lucifer replied, sighing.

"Are you saying that you killed him?"Jian asked.

"It would be more appropriate to say that he killed himself," Lucifer replied. "I didn't ask him to do what he did."

"You..." Jian felt like crushing his phone in anger. His mother was downstairs, wondering if Julien was going to return. He couldn't believe he was killed! How was he going to tell his mother?

"Who are you?!" he asked.

"I'm someone you shouldn't offend. If you care for your life, stay where you are and take care of your family. I don't want your mother to lose her second son as well," Lucifer said, placing the phone down.

"Was it the same guy again?" Kellian asked Lucifer.

"Yeah. Julien's brother, it seems," Lucifer replied. "Did you find any information on him?"

"I did. And I think you might be interested in what I received," Kellian said, frowning.

He showed an image on his phone. "This is Jian Asade. He is the elder brother of Julien Asade. Like his brother, he is also a Warlock Council leader."

"However, unlike the other members, it's said that he has never stepped foot in the Warlock Council headquarters since the day it was formed. He handles everything from Elisia where his family stays," Kellian explained.

"Moreover, there's another interesting thing. Julien isn't actually the real brother of Jian."

"Then?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"Julien was the son of a Variant who used to guard Jian's father. In an incident, Jian's father and the guard were killed. His mother adopted the guard's son and gave her the family name Asade."

"Jian also has a sister who is the real bloodline of his, unlike Julien."

Kellian kept explaining everything he found on Jian, but Lucifer had already understood a few things from that much information.

"Did the incident happen thirty-one years ago?" he asked Kellian.

"Yeah, how do you know?" Kellian asked, surprised. He thought Lucifer didn't know anything about Jian.

"Any information on who caused the incident?"
