Chapter 232 - 232: Closed Campus
"Agreed," Raia and Zeiss said. Clarisse also said yes. As for Zale, he simply nodded.
...
"That"s the promise we made. It was to never tell anyone what we saw. But I accidentally talked a bit about it. I didn"t talk much, but the little bit I told others spread like wildfire," Roy told Lucifer as he finished.
"The others thought I wasn"t trustworthy, and they placed me on house arrest. As punishment for breaking the promise we all made," he further said as he sighed.
"Inhuman? Are you sure that the eyes of that thing were the same as m-, I mean the same as you said?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
"I"m sure. I don"t think any of us could ever forget those eyes. We are sure those creatures were trying to call forth that thing to this world."
"And we don"t have to guess what it was for. Since the Dungeon Dwellers killed so many people, how can the master be any different?" Roy said as he felt the fear in his entire body.
He could still feel the same fear and tingling sensation he felt that day.
"That"s why we made sure that those stones never come together. Because the day those eyes appear again will be the day we all probably die," he continued.
"Now that I told you everything, can I leave?" he asked Lucifer.
"Is that really all?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
"That"s all. After that day, nothing like that happened," Roy answered. "At least not to my knowledge."
"Alright. You can leave. Leave this place and go underground. Leave this country if you can. Because if they found you, you"ll end up back here," Lucifer told the man as he started leaving.
" There"s no security outside to make things easier for you," he mentioned before leaving.
He left just as silently as he came, leaving Roy alive. No matter what, this guy was the reason he got the answers he wanted. Also, it didn"t seem like he even knew who he told the answers to.
After Lucifer left, the chubby man also got off the bed. He grabbed his valuables and his money before he also ran out of the mansion.
Just as Lucifer had said, there was no security outside. The chubby man had an easier time escaping.
He didn"t even bother asking questions as to where the security went or who Lucifer was. All he knew was that he got his freedom back.
...
Lucifer had done what he wanted. After this point, he didn"t care what happened to that man. He didn"t even know the person he met was Lucifer, so even if he was caught, it didn"t matter.
Ignoring the man, Lucifer flew to the different house where he was going to grab the guy to find his treasure.
..
"Dear Students! As you all know, an incident had taken place in the academy. Because of that, the cla.s.ses for the rest of the year are canceled. You can all return your Limiters and go home."
"The cla.s.ses will begin next year after we investigate this incident and take precautions to make sure that something like this never happens again. Go back to the hotel to take your stuff and submit your Limiters!"
Standing on the stage, Xaen had just declared to all the students that the cla.s.ses were canceled. Only a few people knew what had actually happened on campus.
As for the others, they were unaware that many students had died. All they knew was that something serious must have happened if the academy was being closed temporarily.
After he finished the declaration, Xaen went back to the administrative building where his office was. But he wasn"t going to his office at the moment.
He was going to the meeting room.
As Xaen entered the meeting room, he was greeted by twelve people who were waiting for him.
These twelve people weren"t ordinary people, though. They were all Warlocks and also the heads of the Twelve Great Families of this nation. Five of them were even the teachers here.
"You kept us waiting for so long!" An old man told Xaen as he frowned.
"I apologize for the delay. We can start now," Xaen said as he took his seat.
"There"s nothing to start! All I want is information about the guy who killed my Grandson! He was in his final year while also being the Heir of my Great Holler Family! But he is no more! All because of you!" The old man told Xaen, almost shouting.
"I sent him to this academy to study, not to die!" He further said angrily.
"Sir Holler. Please calm down. First of all, we are investigating that matter at the moment," Xaen replied calmly.
Inside his heart, he was cursing old man Chi. "Old Man! What child"s play. Because of your grandson, I have to deal with all of them now! G.o.d, you"re evil!"
Xaen didn"t let his thoughts show on his face as he continued, "So I can"t tell you anything more than what we already know. And we already told you all that."
"As for the whereabouts of that person, we are also trying to find him. As soon as we find him, we"ll tell you. How"s that?"
....
As the meeting with Xaen continued, Ca.s.sius was inside his room, packing his stuff. He had already returned his Limiter, and he was ready to leave.
Taking his bag, he started leaving the campus.
Just as he was at the exit, he was stopped by two people.
"Excuse me. Sorry to stop you, but we were hoping you could tell us a few things. I"m Kevin, Alex"s roommate. And he is Jason."
"We heard the rumor that people were killed on Campus! And Alex hadn"t returned in a long time too. We wanted to know if Alex had also d-died?" One of the two men asked Ca.s.sius.
"Alex is dead too." Ca.s.sius lied without a second thought as he walked past them.
"For the world, it"s better if he stays dead. Because all Great Families will be after him, but for me, he"ll always be alive. Don"t worry, big guy; I have a vacation, it seems. I"m coming to you soon," Ca.s.sius thought as he glanced at the ring on his finger.
Ca.s.sius stepped out of the hostel as he walked towards the helicopter that was waiting for him.
...
Lucifer reached the house where Jiang lived. Unlike the mansion of Roy, Jiang"s house was pretty ordinary. There was no security either around this house.
Lucifer knocked on the door only once, and it was opened by a man.
