Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 1043

"I am delighted to have all of you in attendance today," expressed the Star Alliance Leader, extending his gratitude towards the Leaders of various clans, most of whom weren't closely associated with the Star Alliance.

With the exception of one clan that could not be reached, most of the clans had arrived.

Unfortunately, he was unable to establish contact with the Dragon Clan, leading him to believe that the clan had chosen to remain away from them.

Consequently, he proceeded with the announcement, assuming the Dragon Clan preferred not to be bothered.

On the other hand, the Guests did not display much reaction to the greeting, seemingly unconcerned with the presence of the Star Alliance Leader. Instead, they urged him to swiftly move on to the main topic at hand.

Anticipating such a response, the Star Alliance Leader did not take it to heart. He knew it was only a matter of time before their attitude towards him changed.

"I have gathered all of you here to share something of utmost importance. This meeting... it is not merely a gathering, but also a celebration!" declared the Star Alliance Leader.

"A celebration?" questioned one of the Clan Leaders, wearing a displeased expression. It was none other than the Leader of the Thunder Clan.

This man was the father of Ron, who he believed had been taken hostage by Lucifer and later killed. Not only had his son suffered at the hands of Lucifer, but even his own father had been killed. Given that Lucifer was still at large, he found it preposterous that the Star Alliance would even consider celebrating.

Observing the heavy atmosphere that descended after his words, the Star Alliance Leader recognized their sentiments.

"I understand what you all must be thinking. However, once I finish, everything will become clear. The reason I mentioned a celebration... is because I have news to share with all of you. I am certain that once you hear it, you will understand why I chose these words."

As the Star Alliance Leader spoke, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, barely contained.

"The news I wish to share is that the Star Alliance has solved your greatest predicament. We have eliminated—" the Star Alliance Leader began, but before he could finish, he witnessed one of the Clan Leaders vanish, hastily departing the palace. In the wake of his departure, a spatial turbulence lingered, evidence of his utilization of power.

Frowning, the Star Alliance Leader observed the absence of the Clan Leader, as did the others, curious about his sudden exit.

Signalling for one of the Generals to investigate the reason, the Star Alliance Leader continued his speech.

"As I was saying, the reason I have invited all of you here is to personally share this momentous news. The greatest threat to us all... the final remnant of the Ancient Clan... that wretched soul has been eradicated by the Star Alliance! Hence, you need not worry about him any longer!"

The Star Alliance Leader appeared extremely proud as he shared the news. At moments, it even felt like he was gloating while telling everyone that the Star Alliance had saved all the Hidden Clans and removed the biggest threat to them.

He paused for a moment, allowing his words to sink in. The room fell into silence, each person processing the significance of his announcement.

Although the Star Alliance Leader knew that he wasn't going to receive much gratitude, it was enough to increase the value of the Star Alliance.

"That's why I said... Tonight, it's the night of celebration!" he spoke before finally getting down the stage, his smile never leaving his lips.

It was just the start of his grand plans of expansion of the Star Alliance. Now that Lucifer was gone and he held the power, there was a lot to achieve.

"He is dead?"

"So that was all there was to him?"

"I guess we really did overestimate that person. We should've expected that he was weaker than he was made out to be."

Unfortunately for the Star Alliance Leader, things didn't move as he expected. Instead of thinking that the Star Alliance was strong as they took out Lucifer, all the Hidden Clan Leaders thought that Lucifer was too weak for being taken out by Star Alliance instead.

Instead of the worth of Star Alliance increase, Lucifer's worth in their eyes went down.

"To think that the Star Alliance called us here over the death of such a weakling. Pathetic."

"I feel like my time was wasted. I should've known that the remnant of his Ancient Clan was going to be weak. Why else would he be hiding for so long?'

"Truly a waste of time."

Hearing their words, the Star Alliance Leader's expressions darkened. Not only did these people not feel grateful, but instead, they were looking down on the Star Alliance? His plan had failed spectacularly and he didn't like it.

His fist tightened in anger. Unfortunately he couldn't even express his anger as almost everyone in this place was a strong and influential person.

Some of these clans were even stronger than the Star Alliance as it was now. He could only control his rage and try to explain how difficult Lucifer was to handle.

He turned around to explain and exaggerate Lucifer's might to further boost their prestige. However, just as he turned, he heard a booming sound coming from behind him.

He couldn't even look back when he saw a body fly past him, like a rock.

It crashed through columns, shattering it before falling to the ground. It was only now that people saw who this person was.

The person who had fallen to the ground was still alive, but his face was covered with blood. It was none other than the Clan Leader who had rushed out in a hurry.

Almost everyone looked towards the entrance, the doors of which were shattered entirely. The sound of tranquil footsteps caught their attention, drawing their gaze towards a figure on the opposite end.

It was a young man, dressed in worn-out attire, with a detached head held in his left hand, gripping it by the hair. The blood still fresh and dropping on the floor.

The head belonged to none other than the grandson of the Clan Leader who had left the chamber recently.
