Inhuman Warlock
703 Chapter 703: Vacation
By now, most of the Uprising members had left Zeston, going on missions all around the world. Only a rare few were left at the Warlock Council headquarters with Kellian.
More than half the nobles were also left in Zeston for protection in case of attacks. The Castle that was only recently conquered was left at bare minimum defense; however, no one knew about that.
No one could have imagined that the Uprising would be careless enough to leave Zeston so soon. Even the enemies couldn't have predicted it.
It was just a move that no one expected, and that's why Lucifer was confident enough to think that he had time to take care of other matters in the meantime.
Zeston was going through a silence after the storm and wasn't at much risk of being attacked. Even the remnants of the Warlock Council weren't stupid enough to attack Zeston after knowing that twenty of their leaders were killed like weaklings by Uprising.
Salazar and Yaliza were tasked with going to the Level Four Dungeon, where Lucifer's parents were killed.
The Dungeon was said to be filled with strong beasts, but the only reason why everyone considered the Dungeon so hard to conquer was because they believed that the beasts were strong enough to kill Zale and all the others.
They didn't know that the beasts didn't kill them. Instead, it was the poison and backstabbing by their own teammate.
In reality, the Dungeon was strong, but it was still explorable by Warlocks like Salazar and Yaliza. Salazar was known as one of the four Warlock Kings in Elisium.
Yaliza was also a well established assassin that could take out any monsters.
Personally, Lucifer wanted to go himself to explore the Dungeon and see the site where his parents were killed, but getting the stones was more important for him.
In the end, he decided to finish everything at once while using his team instead of doing everything on his own.
"Meet Kane at the lab in Elisium before going to the Dungeon. He will give you some things that will help you in the Dungeon. Best of luck for the mission." Kellian told the two men as he personally went with them to the airport.
Salazar was wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face. He didn't look particularly pleased for some reason.
"If you need any other help, you can contact me anytime," Kellian further said, watching the two of them leave.
"I have a feeling that we won't be needing that," Salazar responded as he stepped inside the plane.
Yaliza looked back. "I'll try to finish the mission fast and be back to help you. Just hold on until then."
"Don't worry, the least I can do is keep the status quo," Kellian replied. " You can take your time. No need to be in a hurry. It's still a Level Four Dungeon after all."
Yaliza nodded before he also stepped into the plane. The doors were closed. As soon as the pilot was given the signal, the plane started moving.
"Now, back to work." Kellian walked to the chopper as well, going back to the Headquarters.
The city, which was so chaotic until recently, was looking so peaceful now.
...
Back in Elisia, the Asade family was still having dinner at the same table.
Jian Asade watched his mother eat.
"Are you not going to eat?" The woman asked.
"I am not feeling hungry," Jian answered. "Anyways, Mother. I was thinking about something."
"What?"
"You know, I do feel like we've been too busy at work. We didn't spend much time with you in such a long time. I don't feel that it was right."
"Well, that's true. You don't really care for this old lady, do you? Not a single one of my three babies went with me."
"That's not true. All of us care for you. You are our mother. How can we not care? We love you the most. And that's why I've decided to do something for you."
"And what is it that you're thinking about doing?" the woman asked.
"Another vacation but this time, we'll go to the house of my little sister. Apparently she bought a new house along with an island. So, what do you say?"
"Didn't you say she was coming here?" The woman asked. "Why make her travel again?"
"She was coming, but apparently the deal for the island just got finalized. She told me only recently. That's when I came up with an idea. It can be our short vacation together? I'll call some friends as well."
"Julien will come there as well?"
Jian went silent for a moment before nodding. "Of course, he will."
"I don't know about it. I just came back from a long trip and another one so soon... Isn't it just better for us all to meet here?"
"A vacation on an exotic island will be more fun. But if you don't want to go, I'm fine with that as well. I think I just got a bit excited about a vacation with the family. Forget I said anything."
"No, it's not that. I... I agree. I'll come with you."
"Good. I'll keep the private jet ready. Finish the dinner. I'll be right back."
Jian left the dining hall.
After leaving the dining hall, he called the butler.
"Is the jet ready like I told you?"
"It's prepared, sir."
"Good work. Everything must be according to the plan."
After half an hour, Jian took his mother to the chopper on the helipad, which took them to the airport where a private jet was waiting for them.
Jian entered the plane with his mother and sat inside.
Just as he sat down, his phone started ringing.
He picked the call.
"Yeah?"
"Right now? Didn't you all get any better time? I'm going with my mother on a vacation?"
"It's urgent? Sigh, alright. I will give you one day. Wait for me."
Jian disconnected the call before standing up.
"Is something the matter?" His mother asked, frowning.
"Something urgent has come up. I don't think I'll be able to leave today."
"It's alright. We can cancel the trip for the day." The woman also stood up.
"No, we can't. I told little sis that we're going to be there by tomorrow. She will be disappointed if we don't go there."
"I think we can do it like this. You go there and keep her busy. I'll leave tomorrow and join you two there. That's best."
"But..."
"No, but. It's just one day, after all. You go there on this flight. I'll finish up here today and leave tomorrow to join you. I think this is good. Don't say no."
"Fine. But you'll be coming tomorrow."
"I will." Jian nodded, smiling. "In the meantime, have a great time with little sis."
"I can't wait to meet you all there. Soon." He waved his hand as he left the plane.
He maintained his smile even after he left the helicopter as he waved his hand. The staff closed the door, and before long, the plane was in the air.
After the plane left, the smile on Jian's face disappeared.
