The Forgotten Story

True, he had almost forgotten what happened then and what Victor had told him. In the end what Victor was worried about happened, Lucien found his true love and chose to leave him.

He didn't know whether the terror he felt at that moment was real or not. Ever since he and Ruby started dating, Victor has always tried to seduce Ruby, seducing her with money and jewels. Victor's feelings that he once thought were directed at her, began to change.

Victor is a conman, the most ambitious man who doesn't want to lose anything in his life. She didn't love Lucien like she said she did. His words that day were nothing but nonsense that he knew would make Lucien's heart turn weak. Until in front of his own eyes, Victor tried to harass Ruby.

"You're so good at playing with words that it makes me believe you. Bastards like you, can never love anyone!"

"You know why I'm doing this? It's all because of you, Lucien! I warned you not to go! You are my precious asset! You think it's a big difference I spent money on you!"

"Yes, you're right. I'm just an asset, not someone of value to you. You don't deserve to be loved, Victor! You are a disgusting creature!"

"Damn it? This is your payback for everything I did for you? I won't just let you go, Lucien...! I will definitely kill you...!"

"Lucien? What happened? Are you all right?"

Claude's voice broke his thoughts. Victor's image kept gnawing at his mind.

"Sorry, I subconsciously daydreamed-"

"You will definitely go through this phase, Lucien!"

"Phase?"

"Yes, the phase where you will continue to be haunted by your past. The anger, disappointment and hatred that brought you to this point."

"What does all this mean?"

“I also experienced that in my first year of reviving as a devil. All the bad memories related to my death, were playing around like a movie in my head. I was forced to remember a lot of things that I might have forgotten or don't want to remember anymore. things to be experienced for the sake of demons like us.”

"What does it mean?"

"That means the demon inside you is trying to keep on provoking you to take revenge quicker. It forces you to remember a lot of things that you don't want to remember anymore and it has to do with the target of your revenge. The devil that has now become a part of you seems too ambitious to eliminate Victor immediately. I hope you are not affected too much as it will only turn you into a full-fledged devil in a very short time."

"Because of the Constantine symbol?"

"Yeah, you're the second person to possess that symbol after the first demi demon. I can't really tell you much about power because I've never seen firsthand how much power it is. But one thing I do know about the special ability you should have is when you fight you know what you have to do."

"What?"

"You will know when it happens, Lucien. Because sooner or later your first fight is bound to start."

"Don't tell me it's about that group called the Descendants of the Devil?

"I'm surprised you already know!"

"They all keep talking about it. They seem like enemies to watch out for."

"Not only enemies, they are a threat to us. Their business network has expanded in Europe, they have even become rivals of the mafia that is controlled by humans. In a fight between groups, of course they will win because of the demonic power they have. But the worst is them started recruiting humans to join their business network which inevitably made their status as demi demons known to humans."

"I'm sure they wouldn't do that before thinking about the risks. They could have made a special agreement for the humans who wanted to join to keep their identities secret with rewards and punishments for breaking the agreement."

"You're right! I think that's what they're doing to strengthen their group and expand their business network. I'm impressed you can think of the possibility so quickly."

"Humans have always had a thirst for power. It's fine for them to make a few sacrifices as long as the rewards they get are far greater. Cooperating with and joining groups controlled by demi-devils isn't a big deal to them. Instead they regard it as a resource." strength."

Claude smiled broadly, this was what he had been waiting for. Moments where Supernova Revenge has a matched opponent as well as a formidable killing machine.

"I hope you don't mind if one day I will assign you to the battlefield when our enemies give us a challenge."

"It doesn't matter since I also want to test my strength."

***

Sofia's eyes never left Ruby. Throughout today she had been following him after she had a bad feeling. He didn't know what was going to happen. But that hunch was what led him to spy on Ruby today.

Sofia walked over while at the shopping center. Ruby was shopping alone today and this would be a good time to strike her up a conversation.

"Hi, good afternoon? How are you?" Friendly, Sofia tried to greet Ruby who immediately turned to her.

Ruby watched him for a moment as if she had forgotten when they met. Sofia removed the black glasses she was wearing and made Ruby's expression change instantly.

"You came to the casino with Mr. Levi, right?"

"I'm surprised that you remember my face!"

"Of course! You look very beautiful, so it's very hard to forget your face."

"You're good at compliments, aren't we? We haven't met yet, right? Let me introduce myself, I'm Seraphina, Levi's friend!"

"I'm Ruby Lim, nice to meet you!"

"Are you busy? How about we talk? I know a great tasting coffee shop nearby!"

"Sure! I happen to be free too!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Sofia and Ruby walked into a less crowded cafe and took their places at a corner table directly adjacent to the glass window.

They ordered two cups of coffee and started chatting intimately as though they had just met. Of course not for Sofia, it's been more than a month since Lucien joined Supernova Revenge, she who is curious about the woman who became Lucien's wife tries to find out and even spies on Ruby for a few days.

"Nice to meet you, you are very lucky to be the lover of a great man like Mr. Schneider." Sofia said. He tried to act as natural as possible as if he didn't know anything about Ruby and Victor.

"Thank you. How about you? You seem pretty close to Mr. Levi, I mean Mr. Mayr."

"Just call him Levi, he prefers to be called that!"

"In that case, okay-"

"I've known him since high school. He's my boyfriend and first love at the same time!"

"Is it true?"

"Yes! He is the most popular boy in school. He is very handsome, athletic, strong, smart and a bit naughty."

"Naughty?"

"Yes, naughty. You know? Like smoking, drinking alcohol, following wild races and many naughty things he did that I can't mention one by one."

"Is it true?"

"Yeah, hahahaha..."

"Then you two are still together?"

"I don't know, I also don't really understand what our current relationship is like. We were separated for years and he lived his own life, met other girls, got married and he ended up being betrayed by his wife."

"Really? You mean his wife is having an affair?"

"I don't really understand the problem either. It's just that he is very hurt and maybe right now he is trying to forget his wife.

"What a pity! Anyone who is in his position, would also feel devastated."

"Yes, he is a poor man trying to live his new life."

Ruby smiled sadly while looking down, she remembered what she and Lucien did that night. They made love all night without her knowing what it was like and how the life of the man who made love to her was. He's too focused on himself and his own feelings."

"To be honest he looks a lot like my husband."

"You are married?"

"Yeah, my husband and I lived together for almost three years until we finally decided to move to Henderson City, my husband's hometown and get married there. Just three months after we got married something happened to me and a few weeks later my husband disappeared."

"Disappeared? You mean no one knows where he is?"

"Yes, that afternoon he was supposed to be home before dinner. We were still on the phone before he came home on his motorcycle. But he never came home. I waited anxiously for him, looking for him for months with the police. But he still didn't was found. The police say that there is a possibility that he may have been killed, but as of now no one knows where he is currently."

Ruby's face looked sad, she tried to hold back her tears. Sofia gripped her own hand tightly. He felt that this was not going according to plan.

"After that how do you continue your life?"

"I don't have anyone, I'm alone. Just like my husband, he also doesn't have a family. We only have each other and because of that he really hopes that I get pregnant soon. And his wish comes true, the day he disappears I should have told him that I pregnant with our first child. But I could never tell him, never could because he never came back home."

"What about your content?

"My baby died in my womb when he was three months old. Feeling sad and too tired, I had to let our child go. S-sorry, I-"

Ruby was forced to stop talking as tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously. He felt a very deep sadness and Sofia could feel it. This made Sofia feel very angry, because this was not what she wanted to hear from Ruby, this was not what she wanted to see sincerity.

"You must be pretty devastated, huh?"

"I tried to kill myself many times after my baby died and the police told me that most likely my husband had been killed even though his body had not been found. I couldn't bear the pain alone. If it wasn't for Mr. Victor who always came to strengthen me, maybe now I am dead."

"Is that so? Victor acts like he's not involved in Lucien's disappearance? That's how he gets Ruby's sympathy? How interesting!" she thought.

"That's why you live with Mr. Schneider now?"

"We've only been living together for three months after falling ill and being treated for one week. He took care of me at the hospital and he asked me to stay with him because I don't have a family that can take care of me."

"He must be so good that you believe him!"

"I don't know!"

"Hmm?"

"I mean, I can't judge a person quickly. But then I had no choice and now I live with him as a couple."

"Your story is really moving. It's not easy to lose someone we love so much, isn't it? May I ask something?"

"What's that?"

"If one day your husband comes back to you, what will you tell him?"

"I-I-"

"You're with another man now, that means you can't possibly go back to him, right?"
