My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Her Secret
The first thing that greeted them was a large glass door, gleaming in the soft light.

This was no ordinary door; intricate artwork adorned its fragile surface, depicting a majestic dragon intertwined with delicate flowers

The images seemed to come alive, creating a mesmerizing virtual effect as the warm light from inside danced across them, giving the illusion that they were floating.

‘This must be expensive…’ he thought, noting that such extravagance was only available to the elite of society.

His curiosity about the person they were going to meet grew.

Judging from what he had seen so far, even if it wasn’t Yamagi Power and Co, it was still someone extremely wealthy—someone who could probably fill a pool with their money.

All this extravagance overwhelmed someone like him. Fortunately, he was used to keeping his emotions in check.

As they approached, it automatically slid open with a smooth, mechanical hum, revealing the scene on the other side.

It was super spacious corridor, so big that he felt as if he were standing in a mall.

This place exceeded anything he had seen or imagined.

Lush exotic looking plants and stunning works of art lined the walls, creating an atmosphere of elegance and tranquility.

The floor gleamed with expensive mahogany, its rich color adding warmth to the space.

Above them, different light fixtures complemented one another, casting a soft, inviting glow that made anyone who entered feel refreshed and invigorated.

Whoever designed this place did a great job making it feel homey despite the extravagance.

Suddenly, a man in a pristine black suit approached them quickly. The fabric of his suit fit his body perfectly.

“Lucy, you made it!” the man stopped abruptly, dropping to one knee to kiss her hand. “I’ve missed you! Why didn’t you let me know you were coming back?”

Asher’s jaw tightened at the sight of the man kissing her hand. He wondered what their relationship was.

‘No, I shouldn’t care at all… It’s not my business’. he muttered, shaking his head to dispel the unnecessary thoughts.

He just owed her his life—nothing more, nothing less.

All these weird thoughts were just a result of her teasing, which sometimes led him to believe there was something behind her behavior.

Still, he couldn’t help but glance at her, checking her reaction.

‘She’s smiling ?’

It bothered him more than he wanted to admit, seeing her smile at another man.

“Oh, look at you little brat! The last time I was here, you were just five, running around naked, and now you already know how to flirt? Aren’t you being a bit audacious? Want me to rip that tongue out of your mouth?” she warned.

The man quickly backed away, raising his hands in surrender.

“I’m sorry, Sister Lucy! I was just too excited to see you again! You haven’t aged a day!” He flashed a sheepish grin, trying to defuse the tension.

Then he turned his attention to Asher, raising an eyebrow.

“And who’s this guy? Your bodyguard? Because he looks like he’s ready to punch me when I kiss your hands,”

Asher almost spoke out in defense after being called out .

He admitted that he felt a bit annoyed, but having it reveal was embarrassing. He was supposed to be the cool-headed one.

“Did he?” Lucy glanced at him with a playful smile spreading across her face. She watched him closely, wanting to see his reaction.

Unfortunately, he was like a wall, hiding his emotions and maintaining his composure.

This blatant display of self-control made her more excited.

She wanted to tease him further, but since she had come here for a reason, she stopped and turned her attention back to her acquaintance.

Looking closer, the man had sharp, dark eyes and jet-black hair neatly combed back, giving him a polished appearance. His monolid eyes also hinted at his Eastern ancestry.

If not for his goofy attitude, he might have been a head-turner.

Unfortunately for him, Lucy’s taste in men went beyond mere looks; she rarely felt drawn to handsome men.

“Where is your father, Takai?” she asked in a casual tone.

She had known the Yamagi family for a long time—well, it was actually their great-great-grandmother who had ties with her. She even helped her family establish roots in this country.

“Father? He’s out of the country,”

“That’s not good, ” Lucy sighed.

If the head of the Yamagi household was out of the country, that likely meant the person she wanted to train Asher was with him too.

Just to be sure, she asked, “Is Nakata here?

“Yes,” Takai said, leaning forward. “I told him you were coming, and he asked to meet you in the training room. I think he wants to spar with you,” he whispered.

“You think?” she said, rolling her eyes. “Lead the way; I want to see how much that guy has improved.”

The three of them started down the hallway, but Asher chose to trail a few steps behind.

Takai, full of energy, walked right next to Lucy, talking nonstop as if catching up on a year’s worth of stories.

Lucy, on the other hand, responded like a normal person—more like a boss talking to her employees.

Asher had expected her to tease him as well, but when that didn’t happen, he felt an unexpected sense of relief.

‘Stop thinking about useless stuff,’ he scolded himself. He was letting her sway him again.

Little did he know, Lucy was fully aware of his gaze and silently enjoyed every reaction she drew from him.

“By the way,” Takai said, turning his focus to Asher, “you’re not human, are you?”

Asher paused, uncertain how to respond. It wasn’t as if he could speak to explain himself.

“He’s not; he’s my servant,” Lucy answered for him, aware that he couldn’t speak.

Takai stopped in his tracks, glancing between Asher and her.

“A servant? Didn’t you tell me that having one means—” Before he could finish he felt a chill run down his spine.

Lucy shot him a sharp glance, as if ready to strike if he continued to be stubborn and finish his sentence.

Even someone as carefree as him understood the danger of pushing her too much.

Asher noticed this and wondered what it was all about.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have a chance to ask, as she quickly stepped in.

“Come on, you two. We need to move,” she urged, gesturing for them to follow her.

“Sister Lucy, do you even know the way?” He pointed out, making her pause from embarrassment. She felt that he was doing this on purpose to mess with her.

“Takai, I think your father spoiled you too much, making you so tactless.” She stepped closer, her eyes glowing red like blood.

“Do you want me to teach you a lesson on behalf of your ancestors you failed?” she warned.

His smile faltered, replaced by a look of surprise. He instinctively took a step back.

“N-no, that’s not necessary! I was just—” He stammered.

He could sense the power radiating from her, and the playful atmosphere had evaporated.

Takai glanced at Asher for support, hoping to steer the conversation back to safer territory.

“Can you help me, bro? I’m sure she’ll listen to you,” he pleaded.
