Enjoy~ …
Restrained in chains and handcuffs, Lucivar was brought outside by the guard.
A black sack was put over his face as he was guided along the corridor.
Despite being treated roughly, he didn’t fight back.
It took a long moment for him to reach the visiting room.
Be could feel that he went through multiple rooms, passing other inmates’ prisons and the guards’ rooms-until he finally reached the last room.
He could tell because this room was completely silent, soundproof.
‘Once I get the confirmation from the Trading Union, I can make my move’ Lucivar pondered inside.
Dealing with the likes of the Feradith Family-and also the Crimson Wolf Clan, it would be a fool for Lucivar to not have a backup plan.
He didn’t expect Callista to barge in like that and arrest him but that wasn’t entirely out of his calculations either.
Even if the Green Tempest Clan’s head, Callista’s husband was the one to come-he had a plan.
Maybe due to Loki’s blood inside of him but creating plans is natural for him.
His mind does it all the time without needing him to focus much.
As soon as the black sack was taken off of his head, Lucivar instantly felt a déjà vu.
Instead of the Trading Union who he was expecting to come and visit, Lucivar saw Master Tobias on the other side of the table.
He still wore this pliant and harmless look on his face that was impossible to read-exactly as back when he visited Lucivar in the Bastion of Blades.
Other than the reinforced glass separating them, everything was the same.
Lucivar was caught off guard by his sudden visit but he was able to recover quickly.
He took a seat once the door was closed behind him.
For a moment, there was silence between them.
Since he had never been able to see through Tobias’ mind, there was always this oppressive air pressing over his body.
Tobias was wearing a neat striped suit, and he was smiling lightly-but his lips barely curled upward.
He was smiling only with his eyes.
Had the others seen this, they would’ve been surprised to see Lucivar acting stiff and uncertain.
‘I don’t like the way he looked at him.
Almost as if, he could see through me’ He thought uncomfortably.
Just then, he finally spoke, “News travels fast.
I should’ve expected you would come to visit” “Who did you think I was?” Tobias asked.
Upon hearing this, Lucivar shook his head, “It doesn’t matter.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
Why have you come here to visit me?” “What do you think I’m here?” Tobias returned the question.
“…” Lucivar’s sunken eyes from all the beatings and torture squinted, trying to see through Tobias.
But Tobias gave nothing for him to work with.
“What else could there be?” Lucivar shrugged.
“You’re here to warn me about the Feradith Family” As soon as he said that-Tobias’ expression instantly fell-the light smile he was wearing vanished instantly, replaced with a dark expression.
Seeing such a stark change spooked Lucivar, he had never seen Tobias wear this kind of face before.
It was almost the same as the face he wore when Delilah died.
Compared to back then, the face he was wearing now has a vague tinge of anger.
Lucivar unconsciously swallowed hard.
Even though Tobias has never been exceptional in strength, with the others saying-that he was crippled years ago-the calmness he carried himself with was the problem.
It made him somewhat threatening.
So threatening that Lucivar could feel his senses heightened in response.
‘Just who is he?
With just one look, my cells could feel danger was near.’ He frowned harder.
“No…” Tobias muttered in a low, baritone tone.
“I’m here for a much worse problem than that” “Much… worse…?” Lucivar repeated as his mind churned.
‘What is it…?
Did Leandra tell him about the prisoners I killed in Kalinan City?
No, that can’t be right.
Tobias wasn’t an innocent person, our last meeting showed that.
Did I go too far somewhere?
What did I do that he didn’t like?’ He questioned everything, trying to recall what had happened that might really upset Tobias.
But no matter how much he tried to think, there was nothing.
Nothing that came to the top of his mind.
‘Is it because I pulled the others to a blue dungeon when we were not ready?
Risking us all?’ Lucivar was looking down at the cold table.
He was contemplating so hard that his thoughts might have been seen through by others.
‘It’s possible, Tobias cared about the others’ Just then, Tobias clasped his hands together on the table and leaned forward.
He gazed into Lucivar’s eyes intently.
“You…” He whispered menacingly before he finally burst.
“How could you sleep with your own family!” “Eh…?” Lucivar froze for a second, registering what he heard.
Blinking one more time, his eyes then flared in surprise, “O- Oh… It’s about that” Even though it was still a big deal, one that Lucivar didn’t want Tobias to know, it was at least still salvageable.
Had Tobias thought something he did-has gone too far, that would be a lot harder to deal with than this.
Lucivar smiled acutely at his situation.
He was charged with murder, hunted down by the Crimson Wolf Clan, and even has bad blood with the Feradith Family-but Tobias was stressing over the fact that he slept with Ravenna instead.
It’s just to show that for Tobias, this situation was nothing.
‘I’m beginning to believe more and more that he came from the Valerius Supreme House,’ He thought.
“Ho- How did you know about that exactly?” Lucivar asked in a cold sweat.
Upon hearing this, Tobias scoffed-still looking at Lucivar with the same dark face, “Listen here.
I’m like a Father to them, especially Ravenna who has been with me for years.
Do you think I wouldn’t be able to know about this?” “And?” “I could feel it.
She was my little girl before and now, somehow, she has become a woman” “Hahaha… I wasn’t planning to do it.
What can I say?
It just happened” “Sigh…” Tobias rubbed his temple in stress, he was clearly devastated but tried to be as calm as possible.
Fortunately, there was a glass separating them, or else Lucivar would be in trouble.
“What’s the use of your personal maid, then?” He commented, still visibly angry at the situation.
“I sent her to you permanently knowing that you’d need an outlet for your stress, you’re a young man, after all, to avoid this from happening” “Hmph!
I told you to not fuck that whore” Sha’s voice suddenly rang.
Upon hearing this, Lucivar ignored her but he suddenly saw Tobias freezing for a fraction of a second.
It was evident, odd, but soon Tobias’ face returned to normal again.
Seeing this, a nagging question crossed Lucivar’s mind, ‘Did… Did he hear Sha?’ Even though it came and went quickly, it was evident from the way his eyes slightly widened, and both his shoulders stiffened briefly that he reacted to what Sha said, ‘No… How could he possibly hear Sha?
Only avatars of Gods could perceive Sha and Gandr, like Caldaros’ “Oh, I’ve been meaning to ask.
Why did mine and Leandra’s maid permanent?” Lucivar asked.
He wanted to know the real reason.
“What else could it be?
I’m rewarding both of you” Tobias answered.
“Alas, that’s not important.
I’m not here to answer your questions.
Since it’s already been done, then I’ll let go of it.
You can continue your relationship with Ravenna but don’t try expanding it or I’ll send a Succubus Hybrid on your way.
A mature one” Lucivar wasn’t satisfied with the answer but Tobias gave no time for him to continue on the topic.
He wanted to know how Tobias assessed them but it doesn’t seem he would have the answer now.
Maybe he could ask again about it later.
Sighing deeply, Tobias looked around the depressing room-scanning each corner.
“Do you need my help to get out of here?” He finally asked.
Leaning back on his chair, Lucivar smirked, “Aren’t you afraid that they were eavesdropping on us?” “No, not really” Tobias shook his head.
Chuckling for a second, Lucivar then answered, “No, I’ve got this covered.
I’ll not burden you” “Good,” Tobias nodded firmly, proudly even.
“Be sure to finish what you were doing as soon as possible or else the reward for this month would fall to Bob.
All members of our family have now achieved the Acolyte rank.
Ravenna is nearing the Chrysalis rank and Bob… well, he’s further than all of you” Upon hearing this, Lucivar sucked in a cold breath.
‘I thought Bob, that fat guy was slacking off.
Who would’ve expected this?’ Lucivar thought.
It seemed Bob was trying to steal the spotlight from the shadow.
“Also, you need to move quickly-the Feradith Family is near clearing their name and sullied your own reputation, braiding you as a problematic academy hunter, “Tobias stood up as he filled what was going on outside.
“I’ll be leaving now then since you don’t need my help,” But as he said that, he slid a small, glowing stone through the hole in the reinforced glass.
Lucivar took the small stone and hid it in his palm before also standing up.
“Until we meet again,” Tobias bid his goodbye and left the room.
Moments later.
Lucivar was back in his torture chamber-and was sitting against the wall, holding the small stone with an evident frown on his face.
Since Tobias was secretive about this stone, it must be something useful for him.
Just then, Sabrina tilted her head in confusion, “Where did you get that recording stone?” “Recording stone?” Lucivar turned towards her with a brow lifted.
Sabrina snatched the small stone from his hand when she realized that he didn’t know what it was.
Even though her ether was blocked, the stone only needed a very small amount of ether to activate.
Swish!
Once it was activated, it glowed with a vibrant light that displayed the night of Elira’s trouble.
It displayed from the very second Lucivar and Sabrina stepped into the abandoned building, the battle against the gang, and also the last moment before Callista confronted them.
All of it was captured from a different point of view, as if another person was there to record.
Seeing this, Lucivar’s eyes widened-he recognized this footage.
‘Wait… Isn’t this supposed to be given to me by the Trading Union?’ Lucivar knitted his eyebrows.
He was the one who told Dullan to send an expert to record the entire thing.
A preventive act if he was framed like right now.
Since the footage clearly shows that it was all done to help Elira, who was in trouble, Lucivar could be easily proven innocent.
But the problem was that this footage should be with the Trading Union, ‘How did it end up in Tobias’ hands…?
He’s spying on us or even only me, but I don’t know how’
