Capítulo 496: Chapter 496: Takeover

"Enemy of an enemy is a friend. There's a saying like that. Since you're the enemy of the Warlock Council, and we are also their enemy, we can fight together to take them out!" Milena said. 

"And you're here for the stone. I already gave that to you. So there's no reason for conflict between us," she added. 

"That's an interesting offer, but why me? Why don't you just fight me and give this stone to them instead?" Lucifer asked. 

"Because that would boost their ego and make it seem like we're defeated. The Warlock Council would probably become even more brazen in the future," Milena replied. "They would return again in the future for another conflict. The only way to solve this is by giving them crushing defeat."

"And you are certainly strong. Instead of fighting, I must as well hire you as a help," she continued.
