Chapter 12

"Aren't you joining Jonathan and Sebastian? They are in the living room with Claude and they are talking about you!" Sofia said as she walked over to Lucien who was sitting on the balcony smoking a cigarette.

As if he didn't care about Sofia's presence, Lucien just kept silent with a cold face while enjoying his cigarette!"

"Lucien? I'm talking to you!"

"I'm listening! Just talk!"

"Why are you alone here while the others are chatting and partying? You don't like it here? Claude has given you a new apartment and you can live there alone."

"No, that's not it! I was just thinking of something!"

"Thinking what?"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

"Ok, so does everything have to be related to me before you want to tell me?" Sofia starts to feel annoyed with Lucien's attitude which always seems to keep her distance from her even though she has helped Lucien to join Supernova Revenge which will help avenge him.

Lucien stared at Sofia for a moment, he didn't know why Sofia wanted to help him while he clearly said that his life back in this world was because he wanted to avenge Lucien.

"Why do you want to help me? What exactly are you planning?"

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like I'm back in those days, where I was still working for Victor in growing his casino business. Tonight I was back at one of the places I used to go often to help my clients and I met someone who used to use my service. Do you know what I'm worried about? They recognize me! Sooner or later I will definitely run into Victor and I'm sure he will recognize me easily!"

"If you confess to him, of course he will recognize you! You just have to act, Lucien! Pretend to be someone else. From now on you are Levi Mayr. Lucien Sanders is dead and there is no reason for you to force him to confess who you are."

"I still don't understand, why do you care about me so much?"

"I don't care at all!"

"So why are you helping me? You still haven't answered my question!" Lucien looked at Sofia with his sharp and cold eyes. Sofia is fascinated, Lucien who is near her is a very attractive adult man in her eyes, no longer a naughty teenager who is looking for identity.

Sofia's face turned red, she felt a rumbling in her chest that she couldn't understand. He was no longer a human, yet why did he still have these feelings?

He used to think that if he met Lucien again, he would easily hate and kill him. She was overly confident, but instead what she felt was the feeling she once had as a 17 year old girl, now reappearing.

He knows that each who is resurrected will have the same form and age at their death. Sofia died at the age of 17, that's why her unstable young girl's soul was able to reappear.

She had loved Lucien so much, she adored him and was crazy about him. When he realized that he had died, he felt so hurt. She didn't want to die, she wanted to be with Lucien and live longer. But he knew he couldn't say that now. Lucien had forgotten him and married the woman he loved, it was impossible for him to have a place in Lucien's heart.

"I don't have any reason. You know? I hate you so much, it's because of you that I have to go through all of this. But somehow I don't regret it because if I didn't make that choice, I would never have had the chance to see your life so tragic."

"You're a fox demon, aren't you?"

"Yes, why? Haven't you seen my monster form?"

"To be honest you're not at all scary, Sofia. But I have to admit, you're pretty tough too."

"I don't want to be a scary monster at all! Besides, there's something I want to tell you!"

"What?"

"Tonight I saw Victor Schneider and your wife Ruby at a French restaurant!"

"You're following them on purpose?"

"My job is spying, Lucien! I stalk and follow a person or group to get the information my clients want!

"Who asked you to follow them? Did someone tell you to?" For some reason Lucien felt annoyed. He doesn't want other people to get too involved in his personal matters, whatever the reason.

"I'm sorry, but so far no one has asked me to do it. So I did it only because I was curious about your ex-boss and your wife."

Lucien was silent for a moment, to be honest he really hated having to remember and talk about Ruby and Victor's problems. His pride was hurt, his heart couldn't take it. The anger and hatred that he constantly tries to hold back like this will one day become a ticking time bomb that causes a massive explosion. He really wasn't sure if he could hold himself back if he met Victor? He really wanted to kill Victor, making him regret everything he had done. Victor is the mastermind behind every problem he faces in his life.

Lucien got up from his spot and walked away. He felt very confused, if he continued to discuss Victor and Ruby's problems, it would make him feel even more difficult.
