Will Power
"Tch!"
Braaakkk...
Lucien, who was kes, immediately acted, he who originally fell to the floor after Jayden punched him in the face, got up with a movement that was three times as fast as Jayden's and hit him with deep power.
Jayden, who didn't even realize that Lucien was returning his attack, was blown away until his back hit the wall with great force.
"Ugh...bastard...!" Realizing that he was being attacked, without further ado, Jayden launched his second attack again, but Lucien quickly blocked his attack to the point where he almost changed his form.
Everyone in this place was surprised to see two monsters with above average strength trying to attack each other.
"Stop...!"
Claude couldn't stand this situation, he immediately stopped them before they started killing each other and destroying this place. In contrast to Jayden who was able to control himself, Lucien was different, one trigger could make him go out of control immediately.
"Stop it, Lucien...! Control yourself...!" Claude held him by holding his shoulder which felt very hot.
The shape of Lucien's face and body almost changed, anger was clearly visible filling the atmosphere around him. He really could not control when the power appears and when to stop. But Claude's one touch holding her shoulder seemed to help her slowly calm down.
Everyone looked at him with shocked faces, they knew something was wrong with Lucien. The surroundings where he was fighting were ruined by the several attacks he and Jayden made. They believed this mansion would be destroyed if these two monsters continued to fight.
It wasn't until Lucien completely calmed down and returned to his full human form that Claude stopped holding his shoulders. The calm Claude always seems to know what he needs to do which is why he became the alpha.
"Are you feeling calmer, Lucien?" asked Claude. Lucien didn't answer right away, the anger in his heart had not completely dissipated. He didn't know why he could lose control like this. Even though some time ago when he was still living as an ordinary human, the only thing that made him unable to control his anger were the moments related to Ruby. Like when Victor almost abused Ruby, if Ruby hadn't stopped him at that time, he was sure that he would have killed Victor.
Meanwhile, Jayden who realized that he was close to losing to the newcomer continued to growl in annoyance. The only reason why he stopped his attacks was because he had great respect for Claude as the alpha.
"Bastard...!" he muttered. His hands clenched into fists, he really wanted to beat up Lucien and show him who was the strongest.
"Calm yourself Jay! I didn't know you could get so out of control like this to face Lucien. What are you so mad at him for?"
"You better ask this brat who doesn't know manners yourself, Claude! If it weren't for you, I would have killed him already!"
"Lucien? Did you do something to upset him?" asked Claude. Lucien paused for a moment while throwing a cold, cynical look at Jayden as if he didn't care about rank or anything else here.
"I don't think this place filled with respect is suitable for a brat like me, Claude! I'll stop now!"
"What? Lucien, what did you say?" Sofia immediately denied, she was surprised to hear Lucien's words.
"Thanks to you, Sofia! You've helped me so far, but I don't need your help anymore. I can do this on my own!"
Lucien walked out of the room. He looked so calm, even much calmer than Jayden who was still growling. There was a mysterious great power within him and everyone here could feel it, especially Claude. There was no way for him to let Lucien leave this group. He is the constantine, a half-demon who has special powers that not all of them can have. Claude was sure that the pioneering power that existed 1000 years ago, now belonged to him.
Claude followed Lucien, he had to talk to him face to face. He and Jayden were clearly not right for each other and if they were allowed to see each other often it would only lead them to fight each other again. Claude thought of the right way to keep Lucien under the influence of Supernova Revenge.
"Lucien!" Claude called out to Lucien who was walking in front of him. Lucien stopped walking, but he refused to turn around.
"I'm sorry, Claude! But I know who I am, I can never live in a group and under the influence and control of others!"
"I understand and I know it! That's what broke your relationship with Victor, right? Victor is a domineering and controlling person who he thinks has the potential to benefit him. You are his golden boy, an ace that he will never let fall into anyone's hands."
"You offered him tens of millions of dollars so I could work for you, didn't you? Were you already part of this group by then?"
"Yes! But at that time I wasn't the alpha. I was in your position at that time, serving as the leader of the jockeys who used to play for the elite gambling lovers. Of course I didn't have the ability like you, I only remembered my previous life when I owned a casino business and everything was taken from me. I died after I lost everything I had fought for in my life. To die miserably and filled with vengeance, I can feel what you feel, Lucien. I will not be satisfied with just revenge on the person who ruined my life, while I come back to life with this power, then I will make the best use of it to rule the world."
Lucien pondered, the thought of world domination wasn't something that lingered in his mind? He doesn't care what happens to this world because since he was a child, he is used to dealing with all the cruelty and injustice that many people do. He used to think that life meant that the strongest would win, while the weak would always be eliminated. Living alone since childhood is not an easy thing and it is not a choice he wants to make. When he worked for Victor, he who was too young thought this was the way of life he wanted. She can get and have everything when she is with Victor, money and fun are the things that always surround her when she is with Victor. But once again he realized that it was not the life he wanted.
Victor is a very cunning, cruel and power-hungry man. Victor is always telling about all the enemies in his business that he wants to get rid of. At that time, what was on his mind was that money and power could determine how a human's life would end and in the end he, who used to be the golden boy for Victor, had to be eliminated in the end.
"Humans are very cruel creatures, aren't they? Humans are real slaves and it seems that forever, humans will remain that way. Slaves to money, slaves to power, slaves to pleasures. Man will not be satisfied until he is completely enslaved." by the things they want. But no matter how cruel humans are, they will always have the opportunity to get peace in heaven with just one small kindness that they didn't intentionally do. We were once part of those humans, but in the end we chose the path that not all humans will be able to take it. You decide to become a demon's slave, whatever you will do now will not be able to get you into heaven. You have traded your soul to go down this path, if in the end your goal is only to eliminate Victor, it is not will be comparable to what you will suffer in hell."
"What is your real goal, Master Claude? You want me to rule the world, is that it?"
"Yes!"
"Tch, I'm not the least bit interested. You can do it without me, destroying Victor is enough for me!"
"So what about the people who have hurt you in the past besides Victor? Don't you think they deserve what they deserve in return?"
Claude's question this time affected him a little, what about those cruel people other than Victor who had hurt him? Don't they deserve the same reward? Maybe now they are still living in peace, while the people they have hurt do not have the power to avenge them.
No, the path of becoming a hero wasn't something he wanted. He doesn't care about anyone, helping others is not something he usually does. Except for that night, the night he decided to save Ruby.
