"Now, trying to find the helpers Satan sent to Adam is a bit unrealistic…" Mike analyzed the situation.
It was known that Satan had dispatched the Apocalypse Four Horsemen, the Fire Demon, and the Hellhound, but no one knew how many other evil forces he had secretly gathered.
Even with Mike's current strength, it would be impossible to screen everyone in London in a short amount of time.
If he were to do that, oversights would be inevitable.
Therefore, there was only one way to break the deadlock: keep an eye on London's weapon base.
No matter how many tricks Satan had up his sleeve, the focus of his plan was on the nuclear weapons at the London weapon base.
"I suggest we stake out the weapon base and play a waiting game…" After a brief deliberation, Mike presented his plan.
Raphael and Crowley were also thinking of a solution, but there was simply no better way in a short amount of time.
So, the two agreed to Mike's suggestion.
"Let's go now," Mike opened a spatial gate leading to the weapon base in the London suburbs and said, "Oh, and bring that little guy along; the problem with his Demon Heart hasn't been completely resolved yet."
The power of the Demon Heart was somewhat unpredictable, and Mike was very uneasy leaving such a ticking time bomb out in the open.
Especially at this "special" moment.
Raphael and Crowley did not object to Mike's caution.
However, considering that Adam was still a child and they didn't know how long this outing would take, Raphael spoke up, "To avoid Adam's family worrying, shouldn't we inform his parents?"
This was a thoughtful idea, and Mike nodded in agreement, saying, "Notifying his parents is up to you. Half an hour should be enough, right?"
Things also had priorities. Although the people sent by Satan could raid the weapon base at any time, there wasn't a shortage of this short period.
So, Mike watched as Raphael and the two others headed towards Adam's small farm.
Half an hour later, a spatial gate appeared in the woods, and Raphael and the two others returned.
Unlike when they left, Adam had a camping backpack on his back, looking as if he was going to a winter camp.
Raphael and Crowley, on the other hand, had a few fruits in their hands.
"These are apples from my own home, for you. Thank you for helping me drive away the demon before…" After a period of calm, Adam's emotions had stabilized a lot.
He even seemed to have imagined some strange things.
After all, Mike's handsome appearance didn't look like a bad person at all.
"Alright, let's go," Mike took the apple Adam offered and took a bite. It was quite sweet, surprisingly.
Behind him, Raphael looked at the scene before him, exchanged a glance with his good friend, and a smile appeared on his face.
Thus, the Waiting Game Squad was officially formed.
Then, the four of them appeared directly in front of the suburban weapon base through the spatial teleportation gate.
Because they had cast invisibility, the patrolling soldiers in front of the weapon base did not see the four of them.
"That small hill over there has a good spot. Let's stake out there—" Since they didn't know how long they would be squatting there, Raphael found a place with a nice view suitable for camping.
Moreover, from that small hill, they could perfectly monitor the entire weapon base, making it an excellent observation point.
Camping at the weapon base entrance was a novel experience Adam had never had in his life.
So, once they reached the small hill, the half-grown boy took out blankets, fruits, and other items from his bag.
Under the warm winter sun, a camping atmosphere quickly settled in.
Watching the little guy enjoying himself, Raphael and Crowley's expressions gradually relaxed.
"By the way, have you heard of a Werewolf named William here?" Taking advantage of the current lull, Mike inquired about the whereabouts of the First Werewolf.
This was also his main purpose for coming to London this time.
"Werewolf? London indeed has a group of powerful Werewolves, but I don't know if the William you're looking for is among them…" Sure enough, as London's guardian angel, Raphael knew a lot of the hidden information here.
However, as a guardian angel, as long as Werewolves didn't do evil, Raphael didn't pay too much attention to them.
"The William you're talking about, is he the First Werewolf…" On the side, Crowley, being a Great Demon, seemed to know more about the dark side's information.
"Yes, I'm looking for the First Werewolf. Do you know where he is?" Mike looked at the Great Demon.
Strictly speaking, as a member of the evil faction, Crowley's demonic aura should be very strong.
However, this Great Demon in front of him didn't have much violent inclination. If one didn't consider his identity, he seemed more like a harmless "outsider."
This was also why Mike didn't treat this demon as an enemy.
"I'm not entirely clear about the specific situation," Crowley said. "But I estimate that there should be a powerful Werewolf 'big shot' hidden underground in London."
"Tell me more," Mike became interested.
"Just as Raphael said, a group of Werewolves came to London in recent years. These Werewolves are clearly very strong; they should be second-generation Werewolves…" Crowley didn't beat around the bush and continued, "After their arrival, they have successively engaged in many battles with the Vampire clan. Especially recently, many Werewolves and Vampires died in one battle…"
"This kind of situation has been rare in recent years, so I suspect that something has happened within the Vampire clan in London that has forced the Werewolves to go crazy…"
Furthermore, the enhanced hybrid project that Vampire elder Victor was researching was no secret to an existence like Crowley.
Therefore, Crowley had reason to suspect that the Vampires in London had captured a powerful Werewolf for experimentation.
However, Crowley hadn't specifically investigated the truth, so he didn't speak too definitively.
But that was enough…
Mike already understood what the other party wanted to express.
"Who is the leader of the Vampires in London? Where is he now?" Mike pressed on.
"It's a guy named Victor, who has a group of elite Vampires under him. They occupied the British Library more than ten years ago and established a base underground…" Realizing that his information could help Mike, Crowley explained the information in great detail.
Victor was one of the earliest second-generation Vampires and one of the three great Vampire leaders.
Decades ago in New York, it was he who took the lead in launching the Vampire war against the Werewolves.
If that were the case, the First Werewolf William might indeed be in his hands.
And Mike, who had simulated a rough idea in his mind, also wanted to go and verify his guess with that Vampire leader right now.
But it was still the same saying: there are priorities.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mike still decided to deal with the matters at the weapon base first before going to find that leader, Victor.
…
And Satan, on his side, didn't make Mike wait long.
After noon the next day, multiple evil forces in the London suburbs approached the weapon base where the nuclear weapons were hidden.
And they were making quite a commotion too—
"Fire Demon, can't you be more discreet? You've destroyed the path we need to take. If this delays the mission given by our master, I wonder how you'll explain yourself then…"
On a suburban road more than ten kilometers from the weapon base, in an old Ford car, the White Duke looked at the red-haired Fire Demon in the driver's seat with a headache.
Elemental demons represented power, and because of their innate elemental advantage, even without the passage of time, their strength was infinitely close to that of a Great Demon.
Not to mention a fire-attributed demon, which naturally represented power and destruction.
At this time, the Fire Demon, who had only recently arrived in the human world, was in a state of wild abandon.
Because he was having so much fun, the Hellfire he controlled had been burning all the way, even creating a large sea of fire on the road leading to the suburban weapon base.
This inextinguishable blaze not only caused immeasurable traffic accidents but also blocked the Fire Demon's own path forward.
"Don't you think this is very interesting?" Listening to the screams of humans outside the window, the Fire Demon's face showed an expression of extreme enjoyment.
