Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 802: You knew



Chapter 802: You knew

"I-i didn't carry any snacks," Roy responded. "If I knew you needed it, I would've filled the trunk with snacks. But there's a city not too far from here. It's in the direction I came from."

Lucifer shook his head in disappointment. He started walking away, ignoring the bleeding man who covered his lap with a thin cloth that barely hid what had happened. The woman also laid unconscious on his lap.

Lucifer departed to the next city, controlling his hunger.

Kane spent an entire day trying to find Lucifer once again, yet he couldn't find Lucifer this time. For some reason, Lucifer was very careful to not come before cameras this time since he didn't want any stupid conflict.

Eventually, Kane stopped the search. "As expected, we aren't going to find him. He is gone. And after what happened in Zeston, I see no hope either. It's time we disband. Call all the members we have. I want to address them one last time."

Within an hour, all uprising members that were in Elisium came to the main chamber where Kane was waiting for them.

The members already looked down since they had all seen what happened in Triton, that too live. Not only them, but the entire world has seen it. They knew that the conquest of the Uprising ended with the event at Zeston.

Everyone wondered why Lucifer hadn't fought in the battles. Only a few people in Uprising knew about a new Lucifer and his memories.

"My dear friends... You have been no less than family members to me. I am forever grateful that I got to serve with you for a greater cause!" Kane said, starting his address.

Hearing his tones, people felt as if it was the last time they were going to hear from Kane. At least that's what his words made him sound like.

"Why are you talking like you're down? So what if we lost one battle? We will win the war! We still have Lucifer! We can regroup!" Came a voice from the crowd.

Kane shook his head. "We don't have Lucifer. Lucifer has lost his memories... We already talked to him. He doesn't remember us. Moreover, he doesn't want to fight for us now. Instead, he went into hiding now. We can't even find him."

"Lucifer ran away? What?"

"How could he do that to us?! We all fought for him, putting our lives on the line, and when it was his turn, he ran away?!"

"He went into hiding?"

"Enough. This isn't the time to talk about this. As I said, he lost his memories. So he isn't the Lucifer we know. It's not that shocking. In any case, we can't force anyone to fight for us. But we can't die either. Dying for no purpose is worse than death itself. That's why I've come to a decision!"

"From today onwards, Uprising shall cease to exist!" Kane declared. "I want all of you to go your separate ways! Change your names, hide your identities and remove all traces of Uprising from yourself!"

"Leave and stay happily, far away from us and all this mess. I'm giving you all an hour to decide where you want to go. After that, you must leave. I'll arrange your routes. From today, you aren't a member of Uprising!"

Kane turned around after finishing his declaration and left.

Within an hour, all the members came out of the shock they received about the disbanding. They decided where they were going to go and informed Kane.

They were all given some money, and a route was arranged for them. Slowly, everyone started leaving the base.

Kane deleted all the data they had in their systems, only saving the crucial bits on his drives. He even destroyed all the systems after he was done before he left, glancing at the base one last time.

They had just finished creating a proper base in Elisium capital, and now they had to leave it.

"Wait... I forgot that."

He again entered the base and walked to the lab. Giving his palm print, he opened the door of the lab. He took a briefcase with him and left the lab.

"How could I forget this..." He muttered, looking at the case.

He went to the roof where the last chopper was waiting for him.

Standing on the roof, he gazed at the entire city.

"We had worked so hard to take over this city, and now we have to give it up without a fight. What a waste. It looks like we ate more than we could chew."

Kane entered a chopper. "Take me to the old base. There is still one person who lives there. I need to take him as well."

The chopper started rising in the air and took Kane to the old base.

The old base, buried under the sand, was still unknown to anyone outside the Uprising. It was still a secret where no one could reach; however, it was also empty as all the members had moved to the new base, having no threat left to them.

Now that a threat came, Kane decided that it was better to just leave than to come back to this place and fight an impossible war. They didn't have any strong Warlocks here after all.

There was only one person who was still inside this base. It was someone who had refused to listen to even Lucifer when he was told to come to the new base.

The man who Lucifer placed a high importance on. However, after the last prediction a long time ago, the Predictor hadn't given any more predictions.

He had gone awfully silent. When he was asked why he only had an excuse that he didn't see any significant dream.

The chopper landed in the underground base. Kane stepped out of the chopper and walked to the room of Predictor.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside the dark room. Entering the room, he couldn't see anything in the darkness. He wore his glasses which made everything visible.

He saw Predictor comfortably lying on his bed. His eyes were still behind a blindfold.

"Kane, what brought you here?" Prediction asked, smiling. "And why are you so silent? For a moment, I thought you were Lucifer."

"You knew about it, didn't you?" Kane asked, not engaging in other conversations.

"Knew what?" Predictor asked.

"Don't act stupid. Until now, I had suspicions on you that maybe you truly didn't know anything, but now I know better. Uprising has disbanded."

"It's such a significant thing that there is no way you wouldn't have seen this. And the deaths in Zeston? You didn't even warn us about that. Why?"
