Inhuman Warlock Chapter 341 - 341: Impatient

Chapter 341 - 341: Impatient

"Use this? What do you mean?"
"I mean, let's utilize this situation to make our entry even smoother," Lucifer explained. "Caen, listen carefully. I want you to..."
Caen carefully listened to Lucifer, understanding what he was trying to say. Ultimately, he nodded. "I got it. It's simple."
"Five minutes to land! Everyone get prepared!" The Pilot reminded everyone as he reached near the wall surrounding the Capital City.
Since they were in APF helicopters, the City defenses didn't attack them. They were already told that Varant was going to come.
The soldiers that stood on the walls gestured for the helicopter to land for checking.
The Pilot landed the helicopter on the helipad that was made near the entrance of the city, for VIP visitors.
Caen calmly stood up, disguised as Varant. He was fully prepared for the show. Lucifer hadn't disguised himself as he was sure no one could recognize him. He did wear a cloak and reading glasses just in case.
As for Alicia and Cassius, they were going to act as new recruits of APF that were here with them. They were previously unseen by almost everyone.
The only person who was problematic was Uzuki since he had literally committed murder, and he probably had some record.
At least, that's what Lucifer had previously thought. But after a confirmation with Vega, he realized that he was wrong.
APF had made sure that the government had no data about Uzuki since they didn't want this information to leak.
Varant didn't want anyone to know that the APF was keeping a prisoner who was from the Continent of Triton as that might give the Warlock Council an excuse to come here.
He basically erased all the data about Uzuki being here, including the footage, before it could be released.
Fortunately, Vega had managed to get that footage right when it happened.
Other than that, there was only news about this event happening. There were no images anywhere about it being the work of Uzuki or his picture.
In any case, Uzuki looked older and different now. Even if someone saw that video, there was only a slim chance for him to be recognized.
Varant opened the gates of the helicopter, stepping outside.
He was immediately followed by the APF members that had switched sides. Lucifer and the others left in the end, standing at the end of the group.
As for Kellian, he was pulling an entirely different truck. He had turned into Lucifer's shadow.
Stepping out, Lucifer glanced at the sky, realizing that the rain had started.
A middle-aged white-haired man approached Caen. "Greeting Sir Varant. Ah, you didn't bring Sir Riali and Sir Rowen?"
The man was the leader of the City Defence Team, known as Lioner.
" Can you stop talking and hurry up? We need to get going," Caen sharply said, not engaging in small talk.
"Ah, I apologize. I'll start the verification," the middle-aged man agreed as he brought out a small machine that had a fingerprint sensor and a screen.
Lioner didn't check Varant since he had the permit. In any case, he wasn't crazy enough to ask Varant to identify himself.
The tiny sprinkles of water kept falling on everyone, but it seemed like the rain was slowly getting heavier.
Lioner checked the first person from the group. As he checked the fingerprint, it was right. The machine showed the image of an APF member, which matched.
"Vienna!"
Seeing the rain getting heavier, Lioner signaled to his men. His men opened some umbrellas and covered Caen, protecting him from rain.
Lioner moved to the next guy, who also happened to be an APF member. He kept checking the men and finding that everything was right.
Soon, he was on the last APF members before it was going to be the turn of Lucifer. Caen kept checking his clock as if he was getting more and more frustrated.
Ultimately, he couldn't stop himself.
"Enough! This is getting annoying! An entire city in Elisium is wiped, and we're here, waiting to enter the Capital City in the rain?!" he asked sharply.
"This is enough time-wasting. Does anyone here think Uprising will wait for our verification to be completed before destroying another city?"
"Each second is important, and I can't wait any more. It's enough. We're going in." Caen ultimately said as he started walking towards the helicopter.
"But Sir Varant, you know it's important. It's the protocol which we can't break," Lioner said to Caen, smiling wryly. He didn't understand why Varant was so impatient today.
"I went along with all this last few times, not caring about it. But today is not the day. As I said, each second is important!"
"In any case, what do you even think you're going to find here? Do you really think we'll carry explosives or criminals?" Caen asked, glaring at Lioner.
Lioner was taken aback. It seemed as if he had upset Varant, which was making him sweat. Varant wasn't any ordinary man after all.
He didn't want to offend Varant, but he also didn't want to break the protocol.
"Ah, not at all. We can never doubt you. But it's just that... Ah, fine. Since it's you, I'll let it go this time. You can go this time. Just don't tell anyone inside that we didn't follow protocol. Our jobs can be at risk otherwise."
After thinking briefly and seeing the anger of Varant, he couldn't help but give in. In any case, it was certainly not good to make Varant wait in heavy rain, especially when something so big had happened.
An entire city was destroyed, right under the eyes of APF. He could understand why Varant was so impatient.
Every second was important to him as he really couldn't let it happen again, or his whole reputation could be destroyed. At least, that's what Lioner thought.
Caen didn't say anything in response. He simply glanced at all the men and commanded, "Get in!"
The men stepped inside the helicopter, which was already checked by the City Guards previously to make sure that no one was hiding inside.
Caen and the others walked back inside the helicopter and closed the doors. The helicopter had the permission to go in now.
Sitting inside the helicopter, Caen smirked. "That went much more smoothly than I anticipated."
"That's the difference Varant's presence made for us. That wouldn't be the case if there were anyone else, that's for sure," Lucifer explained as he sat with his arms folded.
Kellian also returned to his real self, coming out of the shadows. The helicopter started flying again, soon crossing the boundary of the city.
