Chapter 722 - 722
People respected them a lot because they trained youngsters instead of only caring about themselves.
That's why the Franci family was more loved than the Raasin Family.
A white-haired old man was sleeping soundly when there was a knock on his door.
He opened his eyes and walked to the door.
"What?" he asked after opening the door.
"Father, we received a message from the city police. Apparently, a Variant is attacking the innocent in our area. Since we're closest to the location, the police want our help."
"Go and help; why are you asking me then?"
"Because the man isn't weak, it seems. Just look at the footage. He killed the guard so easily without even coming close. I was wondering if you wanted to come with us as well."
"Let me see," Franci said.
His son turned on the tablet and started playing the video they had received. He showed the video to Franci.
"Hmm? Lucifer?!" Franci exclaimed, recognizing the man instantly.
"You recognize this guy?"
"I do. He was in my class for four years," Franci said, sighing. "He was the top student of the class, but he couldn't do something like this at that time. He could only use his strength."
"Top of the class? Don't tell me it's the guy who killed..."
"That's right. He killed your son Dash along with other youngsters at the academy. Although it seems that Dash was at fault."
"He is the killer of my son?" Norn asked, clenching his fist.
"You need to stay calm. It's all in the past. Don't let the emotions cloud your judgment. You can't stop Lucifer without staying calm. He was the best of the best in the class. It seems he has only grown since then," Franci said, patting the shoulder of his son.
"I'll be coming with you too. It's time we stop Lucifer." He walked back inside his room and donned proper clothes before going upstairs, where a helicopter was prepared for flight.
His son Norn and the strongest Warriors of the Franci family also sat inside.
....
The footage of Lucifer wasn't just received by Lucifer. Instead, it was somehow leaked to the public as well.
Soon, the information reached all Great Families. Even the Raasin family had received the news.
He was standing at the airport when he received the video of Lucifer.
He watched Lucifer kill. "Looks like it begins from the hospital. But why would he be there? Unless the reason he's going crazy is because....'
As he thought about it, he remembered the words of Lucifer.
"If something happens to her, I'll destroy this city..."
"So that's what it is. Someone close to him was hurt, most probably by Xaen. No wonder he is prepared to destroy everything. It must be the girl I saw with him at the airport. Whatever, it's none of my concern."
"If he's killed, it's fine. If he kills Xaen, it's fine as well since he'll calm down. In fact, it'll be even better if he also destroys all the Great Families as well. When I return, only the Raasin family will be left."
...
Unlike what Johnny thought, Lucifer didn't need any technician. He had that much knowledge himself.
Before long, he found the recording of the room.
As he started playing the recording, he saw Eve's body being brought in the evening. Her face was pale, and she wasn't moving. There were burn marks all over her body, including on her face.
Seeing Eve in such a condition, he felt a tinge of pain in his heart. However, he was a bit calm as well.
Eve said her body was resilient. As long as it was intact, there was a chance that she was alive. It was easy to confuse Eve with a dead person in a situation like this. Even he had thought the same thing when he first saw Eve.
"So she was indeed put in fifty-seven."
He watched the body being kept exactly where Johnny had said. After keeping her body there, everyone left the room.
After an hour into the footage from the point where the body was brought in, there were movements in the room.
Someone appeared inside the room out of thin air. Since his back was facing the camera, it was impossible to see the face, but Lucifer recognized the physique. It looked like a young kid.
"Xaen..." Lucifer muttered.
As Lucifer said the name, the figure in the footage showed a peace sign with his fingers before he disappeared.
He didn't even walk close to the wall, but Lucifer knew that he didn't need it. He could control the space. He could steal the body without even going close.
He smacked the keyboard in frustration, destroying the keyboard and the table with it. The screen dropped to the ground along with the table, cracking.
He stood up and walked to the window in the back.
"Hmm?" As he stood near the window, he could see many police cars outside. A couple of red dots also ended up on his chest.
"Snipers?" he muttered, looking at the red dots on his chest.
His gaze moved around, trying to find the sniper. Soon, his gaze landed on the men who were aiming at him.
The men also noticed Lucifer looking straight at them. Lucifer flashed a smile to them before clapping his hand.
Roar~
The clouds roared, frowning the sound of Lucifer's clap. Tens of black lightning bolts fell from the sky.
While three fell straight on the head of the Snipers, the rest fell on the cop cars.
Boom~
Clouds of flames spread everywhere as the cars explored. The cops couldn't even run in time. Most of them died in the explosion while the red fell injured.
"Xaen, you want to stop me to save the world? Isn't that why you took the stones? Want to try to kill me?"
"Let's test your conviction then. Let's see how much you care for your city. You forced my hand, and now I'll force yours."
...
"I guess I was right. There was something between the two of them," Xaen was still lying on the roof of the Academy, watching the video of Lucifer that was going viral.
"He does care for her just like she did for him. That would make things a bit easier, won't it?" he muttered, looking on the right side of him.
A woman was lying beside him, unmoving.
"Trust is such a nice weapon, isn't it? You can kill even the fiercest beast using it. I used it to take out the old man, and now you'll use it to take out Lucifer..."
He gently caressed the cheeks of the woman near him.
"His greatest weakness will be my greatest weapon.. I suppose your arrival wasn't a total waste."
