The Devil's Kiss
Lucien touched his lips, he could still feel Ruby's kiss even though he had left the penthouse for hours. He realized one thing when they kissed for the last time before he left the place. Ruby started to see him as another man, not as Lucien anymore.
Lucien smirked, his plan had worked. He made the two of them stop thinking of him as Lucien, but as a new man who was about to enter their lives.
As he had always known about Victor, he must have been up to something. As someone who had known Victor for 10 years and even lived with him, he knew exactly what kind of plan Victor would prepare for him.
Victor is a successful young businessman, not only because he was born rich. But because of his expertise in seeing someone's potential. He uses other people's abilities to increase the progress of his business, he pays 1 million dollars, but he gets 100 million dollars from it all.
Tsk, even though I know what he's up to. Still I can't be careless. He will use his excellent speech skills and treasure to attract the attention of the person he is targeting. I can't let my guard down, because it seems this time he isn't just it's Ruby. He knows I'm showing interest in Ruby and if I'm right, he'll use Ruby as bait to get me to do whatever he wants. Damn Victor, if you think Ruby is going to overwhelm me, you're wrong! believe that I am not Lucien, because you are the one who killed me. Maybe you think that I am Lucien's brother or relative, but obviously you still think that I have a relationship with him. Just do what you want to do! It's wrong if you think I will fall for that bitch. I don't want that woman anymore, because you're the one who will be destroyed in my hands."
Dring...dring...dring...
His cell phone rang, Lucien reached for the cell phone that was lying on the table. He saw a call from Sofia. He felt a little irritated because Sofia always wanted to know what he was doing all the time. Like a possessive lover who makes him sick.
"Can't you just go one day without bothering me?" he said annoyed. Sofia laughed because she really liked making Lucien feel bad.
"You're so funny, Lucien! Feels nostalgic, doesn't it? Before we started dating, I also bothered you like this. But look at the end, right? You fell in love with me and became my girlfriend!"
"What I saw was you finally died because of an accident. Was that the ending that made you laugh?"
"I don't care about the past, because the future I'm facing now is far more important. Don't think I forgot something, Lucien. You are the target of my revenge, you are the one who will die by my hands."
"I've already died, so I'm not afraid. Do whatever you want to do to me later, but remember your promise that you'll let me complete my revenge mission on Victor."
"And Ruby?"
"I don't care about him!"
"Really? You just came back to your apartment after making love all night with her in Victor's penthouse? Don't make me laugh, Lucien. A love slave like you can't just ignore that woman. Admit it you still want her!"
"Still want it or not, that obviously has nothing to do with you. Ruby is my wife, but that doesn't mean she can hurt me. Just tell me what you need, you don't call me just to say nonsense like that do you?"
"Fine, leave it up to you Mr. cocky. I called you with a message from Jayden. He asked you to meet at his base tonight."
"Why didn't he just tell me directly?"
"I was your go-between for a while. I think you know why, right? It took some time for Jayden to trust you. Because after all you are a recruit whose loyalty is still in doubt. Executors' job is very difficult, not only so their actions are not known to others." , but for our existence as demi demons to be unnoticed by humans. They must still assume that we are ordinary humans, therefore you must be careful."
"Is there anything else I should hear? Feel free to say it while I'm willing to listen to you!"
"I hated it when you turned me down that night, Lucien!"
"Refused you?"
"I've done a lot for you so far, aren't there any rewards you can give me!"
"You expect a reward?"
"Of course! I'm no longer a human who can give help voluntarily. I'm a demon who expects a reward, just like Lucifer. He needs followers in hell that's why he gives power to weak creatures like us. Nothing comes for free, right? "
"Okay, what do you want from me?"
"You will do anything I want?"
"As long as I can fulfill it, no problem!"
"Sleep with me! I want your touch!" he asked. Sofia's voice sounded so seductive, Lucien was a little surprised because what Sofia wanted from him was something unexpected.
"You still love me, Sofia?"
"What? Love you? A woman who's been around for years like me, could she still have feelings of love like a human? I really hate you, Lucien. I really hate you!"
"So why do you want me?"
"Because only with that I repay the pain in my heart for you. I want you to always remember me!"
Lucien was silent for a moment, Sofia seemed to puzzle him about his true intentions. He knew that he shouldn't have trusted Sofia too much from the start, because after all Sofia's existence is for the sake of the current demon to avenge the accident that killed her.
And it's possible that her being in Supernova Revenge right now is all part of Sofia's plans. It's been more than 10 years since Sofia died, there's no way Sofia doesn't know where she is, considering that she is Supernova Revenge's top spy. It would have been very easy to find the whereabouts of Lucien who was only a human at that time.
This gets even more complicated, as foxes are known to be cunning animals. If he's not careful, he could fall into Sofia's trap. Especially since he knew that Claude wanted to use his strength to achieve his ambition of bringing Supernova Revenge to the top of the hierarchy.
"There's no other way I can do it than follow your game, right? You damn vixen. Fine, if it's my body that you want. I'll give it, I'll satisfy you whenever you want it!"
"I'll take your word for it this time, Lucien. Because if you don't, Ruby will pay the price!"
"You're threatening me by using him? Do you think that will have any effect on me?"
"Once in love is always in love, that's what I know. Right now you're still half demon, so your feelings as a human are still lingering. But sooner or later, those feelings will wear off once those demonic traits take over you completely. You won't last much longer long time, Lucien. Your power is too great for you to bear, in less than a year you will become a full-fledged devil, a demon without mercy, dragging all guilty and innocent humans into ruin."
"Is that so? Is it as bad as it sounds?"
"I dunno, if you're enjoying your role as a demon maybe it's something to be happy about. You'll make Lucifer proud of you because that's what he wants from you."
"What if I don't enjoy my role?"
"Maybe you'll end up as an outcast devil who doesn't know what to do. So just enjoy what you have right now, Lucien! Because this world is only heaven for devils like us."
