Inhuman Warlock

The young man sat on a chair with the laptop as he tried to find his family. He had been captured a long time ago. Since then, he hadn't heard anything about his family. 

The only thing he had heard was when Xander came to him to ask him to hack a government facility. That was when he was told that his family was facing legal trouble because of him. 

As Xander had promised to have his family go free if he helped them, he did that. Xander didn't return after that though. 

The young man didn't know what happened to his family. Did Xander keep his promise? Were they free now? There were so many questions but not enough answers. 

Now that he was free, he could search himself with his own skills. 

"There they are," he let out as he found what he was looking for. 

It seemed like Xander was right about that. His family did face some legal troubles, but they were freed later on. It wasn't a charge as serious as Xander made it out to be. 

"That guy exaggerated so much. I can't believe it," Drak said, rolling his eyes. 

He looked like he was in his late twenties now. He still wore reading glasses. 

After Drak realized that his family was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He found their location and hacked the security system near his home to see his family. 

He went through hours of footage within seconds to find his family. Fortunately, he was able to see them passing from near the camera.

His mother and his sister both looked older now. Not his sister was being accompanied by a man. He also noticed a wedding ring in her hand. It seemed like the man she was walking with was her husband. 

"Congrats, Sister," Drak muttered as a smile appeared on his face. "I'm sorry for putting you all through so much trouble and for not being able to attend the marriage. But now I'm out. I can help you more."

"You found your family?" Vega asked Drak, hearing his words. 

"Yeah. They seem happy," Drak answered. 

"They'll be even happier after we take over this nation. They can have a great life as the family of someone who is a part of our organization. They'll live the life of a billionaire. Just a little more time," Vega told Drak, laughing. 

"Yeah. I can't wait for that day either. This APF and the government took more than ten years of my life from me. I won't let them go scot-free," Drak answered. "I'm so glad I got this chance."

"Thank Lucifer for that. We wouldn't be here so fast if it weren't for him. Even if we had come here, all the prisoners would have been dead," Vega responded, shaking his head. "You're all pretty lucky that we had him."

" We had who?" A voice came as a small group entered the chamber. "And why is there ice everywhere?"

Vega and Drak turned back to see Lucifer, Cassius, and Alicia. They were the ones that had just entered. 

" When we came here, there were a few ice blocks. Had to destroy them," Vega explained. "Anyway, what are you doing here?" 

"I came to see the video you were talking about. The slaughter in the Bar," Lucifer explained. "Also, I have a piece of good news. Caen is alive."

" I know about Caen. I saw him going to the medical chamber with you. That's where I stopped looking at the security footage," Vega said as he opened a nearby laptop. 

He turned it on and started playing a video. "This is the scene of that bar."

Lucifer stepped closer to the screen to see what was happening. 

He was able to see Uzuki who was sitting, drinking beer when a woman came to him and started talking to him. It seemed like the woman was interested in him. 

Unfortunately, that's also when a group of people entered the bar. All the men wore leather jackets. Some weren't wearing anything under the jacket at all. 

The man who was in the lead noticed the woman sitting near Uzuki. He became furious. Even the woman seemed surprised as she saw the man in the bar. 

The man who seemed like a leader grabbed Uzuki by his collar as he yelled. Lucifer couldn't hear what the man was saying. 

Uzuki seemed like he was trying to explain something when he started holding his head as if his head was aching. 

That's when it happened. His whole personality changed. The pleading look disappeared, and the mad look engulfed his face. An evil smirk spread across Uzuki's face. 

Uzuki inserted his hand inside the chest of the bald man before he tossed him away. A big hole was inside the chest of the leader of the gang as he was thrown away like a toy. 

What followed later could only be described as a massacre. Uzuki killed all the people of this gang. As for the other people who were in the bar, they all ran away. 

After everything was finished, Uzuki prepared to leave, but that's also when a group entered inside the bar. 

As for this group, it was none other than Varant, Riali, and Rowen with the other APF Alpha Squad members. 

Soon, another battle began, but this time, it resulted in the defeat of Uzuki, who didn't know that it was literally suicide to come close to Varant. 

Since Uzuki was a closer range fighter, he ran towards Varant. Varant grabbed him and thrashed him to the ground. Uzuki couldn't use his powers at all. In the end, he was captured. 

"His skills aren't bad. Just that Varant was a bad opponent for him," Lucifer commented as he finished analyzing the battle. 

"Yeah. He is a close range fighter. They are the weakest in front of Varant," Vega agreed. "So, he agreed to work with us?"

"He did. I don't think he would have liked the alternative," Lucifer replied, smiling.

"Anyway, I want you to do something for me. Find me as much information you can about the Divine Empire. There's not much information available for the public, but you should be able to dive deep," he added. "Send me the information when you're done."

Lucifer didn't even wait for the response as he started leaving. 

Vega also got to work, not talking much. He also wanted to know about this Divine Empire that Lucifer talked about, wondering what was special about it.

"Ah, Sir. Wait!" 

Just as Lucifer was leaving, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Stopping, he turned back.
