Chapter 396: Everyone Knows

"I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question. Please let me stay here in peace. I just don't want to go out. Nothing you say will change my mind."

"Fine. You can stay here. I won't force you to leave. I really hope you can one day leave this place though."

"Me too." Predictor sighed. "So, when are you leaving? If I'm not wrong, you'll be going to the Divine Empire next?"

"How do you know that I'm going there? Wait, your third Prediction...? Could it be..."

"Don't think too much. Everyone knows that you're going to the Divine Empire. Kellian told that scientist who told others. I also have ears," Predictor let out lazily. 

Lucifer suspiciously glanced at Predictor. 

"Is there a single person here who doesn't know where I'm going?" he asked, shaking his head.

He turned around and left the room, closing the door. 

The room once again returned to silence as Predictor went to sleep. 

...

Leaving the room, Lucifer departed with Joan and Qia.

"Where do you want to go next?" Joan asked as the group of three entered the lift. 

"I'm done here. I'll be leaving now," Lucifer answered, pressing the button for the top. 

He had already collected all the items from the scientists, and he also met with Predictor. He was done here.

The doors of the lift opened on the roof. 

The two Warlocks watched Lucifer enter the helicopter amidst heavy winds that were making his robe fly.

Lucifer stepped inside the helicopter, closing the door. The rotors of the helicopter started moving, and it started flying. The helicopter left for the airport. 

Joan watched the helicopter leave, lost in deep thought. 

"Man, it was really odd, talking to a youngster like he was a senior," he commented. " I think this would take some time to get used to."

"I can understand where you're coming from. It's just a completely new territory, but I must say, this guy really isn't half bad."

"He not only helped us take over the APF headquarters but also the Capital City, and all of it happened in just one day," Qia replied. 

"I think he really does have great potential. And it doesn't look like he's going to stop here. There's a lot in the store for us, I believe," he continued. 

"Let's see how far we can go. For the first time in my life, I'm excited about my future."

"Me too," Joan agreed, glancing at the black helicopter that had already gone too far. 

The two of them soon turned around and went back in. 

...

Taking the private jet, Lucifer once again came to the city which was closest to the APF base. 

From there, it only took him a short time to get to the headquarters. 

As he landed on top of the APF headquarters, wondering why it was taking so long for Jiang to find the stone. Since they hadn't contacted him, he was already sure that they hadn't found it. 

He had already changed the color of his cloak to black. The hood of the cloak was hanging on the back, not covering his head at all. 

He donned the black sunglasses and said, "Call Vega."

A call was connected to Vega.

"I've landed here. Where are the two of you?" Lucifer asked, amused that the call actually connected. 

With these glasses, he didn't really need to carry a phone. 

"We're on the twenty-first floor, still searching. I'll meet you near the lift," Vega replied. 

...

The lift doors opened on the twenty-first floor, and Lucifer stepped out to be greeted by Vega. 

"Still no luck?" Lucifer asked. 

"None. We searched every corner on the higher floors, but Jiang didn't find what we were looking for. We still have twenty more floors to check," Vega replied. 

"It's strange. If Varant was going to hide the stone, I thought he would most probably keep them in his own room or close to him. It's strange that it's not there," Lucifer commented, following Vega, who was taking him to Jiang. 

" I thought the same. But then again, this was an APF base. It was known as the safest place, so there was no risk of theft."

"And he probably trusted his men too, so he probably didn't feel the need to keep that stone close to him," Vega tossed out an assumption. 

"Probably," Lucifer muttered. 

Vega stopped in front of a room. "He's inside."

Lucifer pushed the door open and stepped inside. 

As he stepped inside the room, his feet landed on a piece of paper first. Looking down, he noticed that there were papers everywhere. 

It was as if the entire floor was covered in paper. There were also shelves that were filled with files. 

"Is it a storage room?" he wondered. 

"That voice? Little Boss, are you here?" A man's voice came from the distance.

"Yeah, where are you?" Lucifer asked, following the trail of the voices. 

"I'm in the back. Right here!" Jiang responded, coming into the view of Lucifer. 

"You've covered so many floors in such a short time. I'm impressed. I thought you'd be on the thirtieth floor at best. Not bad at all," Lucifer let out, stopping near Jiang.

"You have no idea, man. I think you're probably some enemy from my past life. Every mission you have for me involves walking."

"First the beach, then walking after destroying the APF helicopter and now searching the whole building," Jiang exclaimed with a cry-like face. 

"I thought it was going to be easy since you said I'll find it on the highest floor, but I've searched so many floors," he continued. 

"I just want this to end fast, which is why I'm searching so fast. I kept thinking that I'd find it on the next floor and ended up here."

"You know, it's because of you that I lost ten kilo weight already from the moment I met you."

"Isn't it good though? You were pretty overweight before. Now you look fit," Lucifer commented, smiling wryly. 

"Don't worry. This is probably the last mission like this. The next ones will be pretty relaxed. In fact, you can simply sit back and enjoy your life for the next few months before I need you again. Finish this one task, and you're done," he added.

"Can I finish it tomorrow? I don't think I can finish twenty more floors today. I'm already at my limit." Jiang sighed. 

"That's alright. Finish this one floor today and then take a rest for the day. You can finish the rest tomorrow," Lucifer affirmed. "In any case, you'll only make mistakes if you keep working like this."

"Thank you. I'll finish this floor fast then."

"Yeah. I'm leaving then. Vega will stay with you," Lucifer said, turning around. "If you need anything from me, you can tell him to contact me."

He started leaving. 

"Wait!" Jiang called from behind.
