Intention

"Lucien...! Lucien...!"

Claude kept calling him. But it seems that Lucien is too immersed in his past. Rule the world? It seemed to him a ridiculous goal. He is not an ambitious figure like Victor, someone born as an obsessive and ambitious ruthless leader. He was a simple man living his own life, a sigma who walked a different path, a path that not everyone wanted to walk.

Living for years in the shadow of Victor's power he had lived before. Happy or not, he felt neither. There was only emptiness and a strange feeling that occasionally entered his soul.

Victor was so obsessed with him, wishing that Lucien would continue to be submissive and loyal to him. Victor like that often makes many people think that he has special feelings for Lucien. But every time he was asked, Victor always said that Lucien was his lucky card, his most valuable asset which he would never exchange.

Lucien turned to face Claude who was looking at him meaningfully. From that look in his eyes, Claude knew that there was anger in his soul that had been burning for years and never really tried to quench it.

"What would I get if I could rule this cruel world? A world only filled with greedy bastards called humans?"

"You won't get anything, Lucien. Taking over the world doesn't mean you can have everything you want. But one thing is clear that you can get, the destruction of the people who have ruined your life."

Claude continues to influence Lucien so that Lucien's determination will not stop until his revenge on Victor ends. He must do many things before destroying Victor.

Lucien knew that Claude was expecting something from him and his instincts worked to realize that even faster.

"I see, maybe I'll consider." he said. Claude smiled, he knew that Lucien still doubted him.

"Okay, I won't force you to do something you don't want. But you have to remember one thing, the world will not stop if only one person like Victor disappears. The world will continue to work, creating far more cruel humans."

"Does destroying the lives of those cruel people make you the savior of the world, is that it?" Lucien thought that Claude's agenda sounded too naive for a half-demon like them who should be the world's enemy.

"Hahaha...the world works in its own way, Lucien. And so do we who will work our way. You will understand what I'm saying the next time you meet the person who has ruined your life."

"Tch!" Jonathan chuckled in annoyance when he saw the look on Lucien's face that was so calm.

They are at Paradise Evil, Victor's casino which is one of the largest casinos in Las Vegas. Tonight Lucien, Jonathan, Sebastian, Richard and Harry were specially invited to play at the poker table.

This is the fifth task that Lucien has taken on since he joined Supernova Revenge and so far he has yet to lose. But tonight, the five of them had to play for the elites who had hired them.

"Can't you just show another expression? Tsk, you make me sick!" Jonathan swore every time he saw someone who could always be cool and calm in any situation. To him people who didn't have any expression on their faces were boring people.

Lucien ignored her, as if he didn't care about her existence at all. That made Jonathan feel even more annoyed at him.

"Hey you bastard! I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me?"

"What floor are we going to play on?" Lucien asked Sebastian who was standing beside him.

"On the eleventh floor, it seems that this time we have to play in the common room, not the special room!" he said.

"Is that so? That means there's a chance Victor might see me if it's a public room. But that would be the case if he came to this casino tonight. It's Saturday night, he usually doesn't come tonight." she thought. Somehow he hopes to meet Victor soon to measure his determination.

He knows how Victor is, you won't always be able to meet him if you're not around or have even spoken before. He was a busy man who would not waste his time greeting and talking to people who did not bring him any benefit.

Behind Lucien, Jonathan began to make preparations to attack him. He felt very angry because his position as captain of team five was not considered important by his subordinates.

"You damn bastard...! You're underestimating me, aren't you?"

Buuukkk...

Right before Jonathan's fist hit his face, Lucien immediately dodged Jonathan's attack and in no time countered Jonathan's attack with ease.

"Tch, damn it...!"

Lucien squeezed Jonathan's arms and tucked them behind his back as he stepped on Jonathan's back with his right foot.

"Ugh...damn it! Get off me!" Jonathan winced in pain and at this point, he thought about transforming into his monster form and fighting with Lucien. But Lucien couldn't get him to move at all and then almost broke his arm instead.

Seeing this, Sebastian, Richard and Harry just kept quiet and didn't even try to help him. They knew from the start that Lucien was not someone they could go against. They could feel how strong he was and how he was the only person who could corner Jayden.

"Damn it...! What are you guys looking at? Quickly help me!" he shouted angrily. It made him look so pitiful in their eyes because he couldn't even defend himself at all.

"You are the captain, aren't you? I think you need to learn to control yourself, Jo!" Sebastian said with a mocking smile that made Jonathan feel even more irritated.

"Damn it...! I'll kill you all...!" he shouted. Lucien let go of his grip and it made Jonathan fall down.

"Damn it! Watch out for you Lucien!" he muttered angrily.

Lucien ignored him again walking towards the entrance that connected to the building's basement, then Sebastian, Harry and Richard followed behind him.

This sad sight made Jonathan's pride hurt. He did not understand why they could so quickly become his followers.

"Damn Lucien! If he's allowed to do as he pleases, then I'll be the one to get rid of him."
