Chapter 7

"Wait a minute, why can Lucifer be defeated just because of that?" Ask Jonathan. He and everyone else in the room enjoyed this conversation even more.

"Lucifer is the king of demons, his goal is very clear to plunge people into hell and create a lot of destruction. But a demon like himself will feel defeated if a human promises to serve him, but can still act as a human who has conscience and sympathy, even though humans are it knows that he will still end up in hell, no matter what good he does. Because the writing he gave is something that devils hate the most."

Lucien was stunned, he was a little surprised that the leader of such a large group thought things that far. There was a tinge of adoration that surfaced for Claude's figure in Lucien's eyes. He didn't really recognize Claude when they were alive, only his name had been heard several times when a group of Claude's men came to see Victor and offered millions of dollars to have Lucien work for him.

"Is there anything else you would like to know, Lucien?"

"What division will I be placed in?"

"What a good question! I'm glad I didn't waste too much time thinking about unnecessary things. Out of the 10 divisions, I'd like to place you in the gambling division."

"What?" They all asked in unison. Shocked and confused, why would a person with such rare abilities be placed in the gambling business? They hoped that Lucien was in the spying or assassination business, instead of gambling where there was no need to have special powers and abilities.

"Tch, hahaha...I was thinking that he would join Jayden or Kenny in the espionage division. Turns out it was only in the gambling business." Jonathan laughed out loud because that was the place. He became the fifth captain in the gambling business leading 15 members. He felt that the gambling part was not a hard job and task.

"But, why in the gambling section? Lucien should be able to be placed in a more strategic place, at least in the business of selling weapons or drugs-" Sofia denied Claude's order because she felt that Lucien should be able to get a more important position.

"Someone once said that you shouldn't be too quick to judge someone's abilities before you see what they are capable of. Because expecting too much of someone's greatness can lead to disappointment. Don't you think so, Lucien? You've always hated being thought of as special for fear it would weigh you down. I'll follow your way of thinking. at that time, not too difficult a task I guess for a gambling god like you."

"How are you? Does your head still hurt?"

Sofia came over to Lucien who was standing on the balcony of the third floor, looking up at the sky that was starting to lighten alone.

"No!"

"I hope you're not offended by Claude's order. I'm sure he just wants to test your skills!"

"No! I think that is indeed the most suitable field for me!"

"Really? He called you the god of gambling, I'm sure there's a special meaning behind that nickname right?"

"Three months after you died, I met Victor when I was caught by the police in a wild race. I don't know who he was, but he freed me and also my friends who were caught. As payment, he asked me to work in one of his casinos in Las Vegas. Vegas. For eight years I was both a jockey and an accomplice."

"Is that so? No wonder Claude knows you because before his death, he also owned casino businesses in Las Vegas and Macao. He probably already knows a lot about you."

"It's possible! He never shows himself whenever he makes an offer to Victor, he always asks his men to deliver a message. That's why I don't know what his face looks like!"

"I see, earlier Claude asked me to tell you that you must have a new name that you will use in your new assignment!"

"New name?"

"Those who know us know that we are dead. If we appear in public with the same face and name, it will attract the attention of humans and it will also get Supernova Revenge in trouble. Therefore use a new name as much as possible when You act out in public and if anyone recognizes you, pretend you don't know them and act like everyone else."

"I understand!"

"There is one thing I want to ask you!"

"What?"

"You are married?"

"Yes!"

"Is that so? So you've forgotten about me huh?"

"You died 10 years ago, how can I always remember you?"

"So you already know how it feels, right? Being forgotten by someone you adore so much?"

Sofia looked into Lucien's eyes and clearly showed her disappointment. Feeling the pain of being forgotten for Lucien was a selfish feeling. A person who is still alive has the right to continue his life. He would understand if in the end Ruby was with another man after he died. But in just one year his feelings changed so quickly, it was a different matter. Moreover someone who had forgotten himself in such a short amount of time was Victor, someone who had ruined his life, that would be a betrayal

He was tortured, killed and buried in the middle of the forest where no one knew. He just disappeared and was forgotten as if he never existed. He was not willing and gave up the heaven he got in exchange for one chance to live again and forced people to remember him again.

"I love Ruby so much, I want to let her know that being loved by a man can sometimes be a nightmare for her." he said. Sofia was annoyed, she didn't know how the hatred she had harbored for years for this man who was near her slowly faded away when she recalled that she once loved Lucien so much.

Lucien was his first love and boyfriend. They met in high school and had the same habits, namely skipping school, getting drunk and smoking.

They live a wild teenage life. Lucien is an idol, he is adored by so many girls in his school. Girls hope to be his girlfriend or just date and boys hope to get close and be friends.

He was very handsome, with dark brown hair and charming amber eyes, tall and handsome. His cold face and very rarely smiles makes the girls even crazier, especially when he's doing something serious, his face makes them even more stunned, Sofia is no exception.

"Do you remember the first time we kissed? It was exactly like this. We sat on the school balcony to watch the sun rise." At that time Sofia had the courage to express her feelings, even though she felt that at that time her feelings might be rejected, but she didn't want to regret it. He loved Lucien very much and hoped that Lucien would return his feelings.

But at that time, luck was on his side because Lucien accepted his feelings and asked her out on a date even though he knew that at that time Lucien didn't really love her.

"You remember everything about me huh?"

"Of course! Who could forget you so easily other than your wife?" Sofia said. Lucien was surprised because it seemed to him that Sofia's joke had made him remember what he had seen yesterday. How Victor and Ruby got together like he never existed.

His hands clenched and trembled, every time remembering it made his anger peak. The revenge in her heart grew bigger to destroy Victor and make Ruby regret her decision.

Lucien got up from his place and walked away, he didn't want to be too immersed in his jealousy to make him forget his main goal.

"Where are you going? Are you mad at me?"

"No! I just thought that a man like me would never be compatible with love."

"What are you saying?"

"Forget it! I also want you to remember your own goal, why did you go the hard way just to reminisce about things you don't need to remember. Better focus on your goal of getting revenge on me!"
