If she didn't listen to Lucian then Scarlett's image would be tarnished even after her death, not to mention the poison in her body, she wondered how she ended up in this type of situation.
Without saying anything she lay there and after a while when strength began to return to her body, she slowly sat up and found Lucian sitting beside her and watching something on the ProTube, the famous video streaming app just like YouTube on the original Earth.
' So this is the first villain I'll meet in the story and the one who ate shit. ' Lucian thought.
" Are you alright now, Star? " Lucian spoke as he closed his mobile and looked at her maintaining his innocent smile.
" Don't call me that. " Scarlett spoke with her brows creased.
*DING*
" Oh wait a minute, I got a reply from a news channel it seems they are quite interested in getting the scoop about this company, maybe I should just send something juicy to them. " Lucian spoke while checking the message.
" S- Sorry... sir, I won't talk like that again tch. " She spoke as she put her pants back on and stood in front of him with her head tilted down.
" Did you just click your tongue? Or maybe I heard it wrong? "
Lucian asked, as Scarlett wondered how he could smile and laugh like that, while blackmailing her like this, she sighed and just said: " I am sorry. "
" Okay it's fine since this sort of thing must be new for you I'll give you some time to get used to it, anyway let's go I want to see my mother. " After saying that Lucian walked out of his room leaving her behind, he was in a good mood since Scarlett would be very useful in his future plans.
[ Aren't you gonna go say goodbye to your wife? Maybe she is waiting for you. ]
' No, she is not my wife, at least not until I like her, marrying someone I love is also on my bucket list so I have to do it, just like spanking a milf, so that's one more thing done on my list. '
[ Just how many things did you add to your bucket list? ]
' It took me more than fifteen years to create that list, so there are a lot and I'm planning to do every single thing this time. Though some of the things are just too absurd. Even I don't know why I wrote them; maybe I previously believed I would never be able to do them anyway. '
[ So what are you planning to do with the first villain of the story? ]
' Since the protagonist is not out yet from that cave, then this villain will use his knowledge of the story to gain as much power and benefits as possible, before the mc comes out.
And even though there are many ways to get him killed but if he just dies like that then it won't be any fun, while I am at it I'll start next thing from the list: 'Battle with a psychopath killer'. '
Saying that he stopped walking and waited for Scarlett to come down, after straightening her clothes and washing her face, she came down too but didn't look straight at him.
" Wait here I will bring the car... sir. " saying that she walked away with clenched fists.
' Uhh Zero, she has some ability right what is her ability? And I still don't know anything about this world or the power system here. ' Lucian asked.
[ Her ability is strong but it is still nowhere as strong as that of Jasmine's, she has the ability to release magnetic waves so she is like a walking strong magnet though there is not to her ability, as for the history of this world this goes a long time in the past so let's start from the very start- ]
" Wait a bit, let's start this after the ride starts. " Lucian spoke while looking at Lily, who was walking into the building with several wounds on his face, there were bandages wrapped around all over his body.
Lucian walked forward and showed a surprised expression on his face, then he took out his mobile and shot a full body photo of him.
" What are you doing? " Lily asked after noticing him.
" Nothing, someone made a bet with me online, saying that nothing could look worse than shit but I am sending him proof that he is wrong. By the way sir, why do you look as if you have been beaten like a dog by someone? " Lucian asked as he placed his mobile away.
" ... I was in an accident, but where are you going? Aren't you going to work in the office? " Lily asked while looking around and hiding his bruised face.
" The car is here, I need to leave now, also have a warm coffee after you return. " Then Lucian walked away, Lily watched from some distance as a luxurious white car drove out of the parking lot, which is mostly used by Jasmine.
Then Scarlett walked out of the driver seat and opened the door for Lucian who sat inside after saying something to her, soon the car drove off while Lily just stared at all this from a distance.
" Ah right, I almost forgot why would he need to work when he indirectly owns the company, he is the Husband of the Boss after all. " Shaking his head Lily walked towards his office feeling dejected.
*****
" We need to stop by some shops since I want to buy a laptop and some other things since I will be needing them soon. "
Just the thought of being able to get his hand on a device again was making Lucian excited, the laptop and internet were almost like limbs for him, whenever he set a target the life of that person had been completely ruined in every possible way.
" Okay. " Scarlett answered in a neutral tone, she still couldn't believe anything.
