Chapter 582 - 582: Bed Of Thorns
The boy on the chair also noticed Lucifer coming out of the crowd and in his direction.
Jaq was the direct heir of the Golden Crow Clan, known for its wealth, treasures, and influence in their City. He was also the only son of the leader.
"It's you. It looks like you came as well, along with that arrogant kid." Jaq stood up.
"Lucifer? What's he doing here?"
Amongst everyone that was present here, only Lucifer had approached the young groom, which placed a lot of eyes on him.
Even Hun and his family finally noticed him.
"It looks like he changed his mind and decided to come after all," Hun's father smiled.
"I just had to come. There was one thing that I needed to tell you. And I didn't want to delay since I'll soon be leaving," Lucifer replied to Jaq, not stopping closing in.
"What thing?" Jaq asked, frowning.
Even his father was looking at Lucifer by now. He didn't know why but he felt something was wrong.
"Excuse me for a minute," the middle-aged man exclaimed as he walked to his son in haste.
"It's that you really shouldn't be an arrogant prick, at least not until you have a certain level of skill. You might never know who you might offend." Lucifer smiled.
"Hah, are you saying that I offended you? Is this about the last time I saw you? That carriage incident? Hah, kid. Don't overestimate yourself and scram. Just because it's a special day for you, I won't hurt you. But leave before I change my mind."
Lucifer smirked, looking deep into the man's eyes.
"I accepted this answer from you. And that's why I feel pleased to tell you that you've been sentenced..." Lucifer calmly said.
"Sentenced what?" Jaq scoffed in contempt.
"Sentenced to death." Lucifer finished.
Lighting flashed in his arms momentarily before two lightning bolts appeared, one in front of Jaq and the other behind him.
"Wh-"
Jaq was stunned that Lucifer was so brazen. His father and so many High Beasts were here, and still he was daring to attack? It was something that he hadn't expected at all.
Before he could even react, both lightning bolts stabbed him, one stabbing his heart from the front while the other passing through his neck from the back.
"Remember my words in the next life. Control your arrogance," Lucifer muttered, looking deep in the eyes of Jaq, which lost its light.
Blood came out of his neck, chest, and from his lips as his body dropped to the ground.
"Jaq!" Jaq's father yelled, seeing his son die right before his eyes.
The hall was filled with gasps. No one had expected something like this today. It was the day of the wedding. And now he is dead?
Even the Snow Wolves were surprised. What happened? Why did Lucifer suddenly murder the groom? Was there a conflict between the two?
Even the Golden Rhino heir looked with his eyes wide open. What was with Lucifer and killing the heirs of other High Beast clans? First Lynx and now Jaq?
Hun took a step forward, trying to get to Lucifer, but he found a hand resting on his shoulder, stopping him.
He looked back, realizing that it was his Second Uncle.
"Don't take a single step. This is something we shouldn't get involved in. He killed a young man out of his own volition. If we went to help, everyone would think it was the plan of our clan to destroy this wedding. We'll be seen as the bad guys."
"But uncle, he's my friend!"
"Forget your friend in that case. He selected his own future when he decided to kill the kid. He made his own bed of thorns; now, he must sleep on it alone. It has nothing to do with our clan."
"Father, do something!" Hun asked his father, but even his father didn't react.
His father simply stood with his arms folded, looking curious.
He had already seen Lucifer kill the Thunder Lion Patriarch. He knew that Lucifer wasn't weak at all. If he decided to kill the kid in front of everyone else, then he must have a plan of his own.
'I wonder how he expects to get out of it? What is his plan? Or could it be that he thinks we'll come to help? It'll be intriguing to see how it goes.'
...
"Jaq!"
Jaq's father seemed to have gone crazy as he ran to his son.
"Get up, my son! You can't leave me!'
He kept shaking his son, expecting him to wake up, but there was no response.
"You! You killed my son! You shall die as well!" The middle-aged man yelled like crazy as crazy flames came swirling towards Lucifer.
This time, it was Salazar's turn to show his magic. He spread his domain, slowing down everything.
"I don't have any intention to die. Sorry to disappoint," Lucifer muttered as he looked at the flames coming towards him at the speed of a snail.
His figure flickered as he appeared behind Jaq's father, who was still affected by the time domain.
Salazar also stepped aside to avoid flames as well.
He canceled the time domain.
"Argh!" The crazy flames that were thrown by the middle-aged man missed the targets who he saw move like lightning.
In their absence, the flames but the beasts that were standing behind them, which all happened to be the High Beasts from his city.
The High Beasts were also capable of protecting themselves and weren't hurt, but someone did get hurt.
It was Jaq's father who found himself surrounded by lightning spears from all sides, even from the sky.
"Old man, You should've taken the same advice I gave your son. Albeit it's too late now."
"You!" The man started transforming inside the mansion. Unfortunately, all the lightning spears impaled him from all sides.
His body dropped to the ground while Lucifer looked at the other guests.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the wedding is over. The groom and his father left on a long vacation. You leave as well. Only those who want to join the father and son on their trip should stay behind."
Many High Beasts looked at Lucifer, finding him too arrogant.
As if reading their minds, Lucifer smirked.
"Those who think I'm arrogant and they need to teach me a lesson can stay behind. But just ask yourself a question first. Do you really want to risk your lives for those two?" He spread his arms. "Because if you want to, then I welcome you to try."
Following his arms, hundreds of lightning spears appeared on both sides of Lucifer.
