Chapter 764
The girl saw the man die such a brutal death, and she didn"t even know how. She couldn"t see anyone else there.
She was just about to Scream in shock when he felt someone"s hands on her lips.
"Listen Girl; we are from the Warlock Council. We are here to reclaim the city from the people who destroyed half of it. Don"t scream and alert everyone. If you want the city to be free again, just go home and don"t mention it to anyone."
"If you told anyone, there would be another large scale war, and the rest of the city might be destroyed too. Do you understand?"
The girl nodded her head repeatedly.
"Good."
Her lips were freed. Meanwhile, the body that was lying before her also disappeared as if it was never there. Only a few droplets of blood were left behind.
Uri placed his foot on the ground, throwing some dust on the blood spots to cover them.
The girl ran away without looking back.
"Let"s move," Jian said, wiping the blood from his sharp Sword.
"The next person closest to us just entered a bar. It"s a very crowded bar, so it"ll be hard to take him out. Should we move to the third person?"
"No need. We"ll go to the bar." Jian declared.
Uri led them to the bar that was a couple of blocks away from them.
Even though Uri described the bar as crowded, it wasn"t very crowded. As soon as the Warlock entered the bar, everyone noticed his clothes. They knew he was from the Uprising. No one could dare to stay with him.
Slowly, people started leaving the bar. Within seconds, the bar was completely empty. Only the waiters and the owner of the bar were left inside. Even they wanted to leave; they couldn"t.
"Why is everyone running away after seeing me?" the man asked the bartender, confused.
"Ah, I think they are intimidated because of who you work for."
"Uprising? I guess I can"t blame them. Anyway, give me the strongest item of yours. Tonight I want to be drunk!" The man said, smiling.
"Right away." The bartender started preparing the drink.
The door once again opened, and some people entered.
The man heard the sound of the door opening. He looked back, but as he looked, the door was already closed. There was no one there.
"Heh, my ears are ringing, it seems."
The man rubbed his chin, smiling.
The bartender prepared the drink, serving the man.
The man picked up the gla.s.ses and took his first step. He was just reveling in the taste when his facial expressions changed too.
His hands lost strength. The gla.s.s dropped to the ground, shattering into hundreds of pieces.
His body soon followed suit, falling off the table.
"What?"
Seeing the bartender shocked, Jian placed his hand on the man"s shoulder.
"No need to be shocked. We are from the Warlock Council. We are here to reclaim the city. So you better keep your mouth shut. No one must know what happened here. You understand?"
The bartender nodded his head like a puppet.
"What about the body? How will I explain if someone comes asking?"
"What body?" Jian asked, surprised.
"That!" The bartender pointed down, only to have his eyes open wide. There were no bodies there.
"Where did the body go?"
"That"s none of your concern. Just remember what I told you. Many people would die if you opened your mouth, and you might be one of them. So cooperate."
"I will never tell anyone! I"ll just say that he came, and then he left!"
"Good."
The door of the bar opened again and closed on its own. The man couldn"t see anyone but seeing the door open and close; he understood that these people were invisible.
He didn"t even know how many of them there were. The only thing he could be sure about was that there was at least one person there.
He didn"t know what chances of success they had against someone who defeated the rest of the Warlock Council openly, but he prayed for the success of these people.
Even though the city wasn"t much different under the new restriction, and it was mostly the same, he still wanted it to return to the way it was before, where they didn"t need to be scared of what could happen.
The Warlock Council team kept moving from place to place, taking out all the n.o.bles and the Uprising Members.
There were only Thirty members spread through the city, and ten of them were killed within the first hour itself.
The small team of five kept getting closer and closer to the center of the city.
....
In another part of the city, a young man was about to step out of the Warlock Council headquarters.
"Uzuki, where are you going?" Dallas asked Tristan. He had just returned from exploring the city to find Tristan leaving.
"Ah, Sir Dallas. I was just going out to roam the city. I"ve finished the accounting work already. So I was free for the moment and made this plan."
"Sir Dallas?" Dallas asked in surprise.
"So it"s the other half is Uzuki who doesn"t know he"s a Warlock. He thinks he"s just an accountant here when this half of him is in control."
Dallas scratched the back of his head. "I won"t stop you from going outside, but shouldn"t you wear the Uprising Robe first? I think it"s better if people know you"re one of us so they won"t trouble you."
"You just arrived here, so no one knows about you. I just don"t want there to be any trouble for you."
"I"m not going to fight someone. I"m just going to take a stroll outside. Don"t worry. I won"t get in conflict with anyone. Moreover, I don"t want people to be scared of me. How else would I enjoy the true beauty of this city?"
"I can understand what you"re saying, but..."
"Fine. Even though the city is very stable now, just keep this badge in your pocket at least. In case you are in need, you can show it to prove your ident.i.ty."
Dallas brought a badge out of his pocket and gave it to Uzuki.
Uzuki kept the badge in his pocket. "I"ll keep that in mind."
He left the base. Meanwhile, Dallas walked to the lift to go upstairs. All the core members that were back in the city were called for a meeting which was going to include Dallas, Kellian, Tristan, Jean, Arthur, Jiani, Caen, and a few others.
Dallas reached the top floor and entered the meeting room, opening the door.
As soon as he entered the meeting room, he saw Lucifer sitting in the main seat.
