Chapter 35: Empress

After checking Lucian's body, Natasha just hugged him tightly without caring about anything else. After entering the bathroom she had sunken into thoughts of her own and was imagining doing things she always wanted with Lucian and spending more time with him.If she was paying attention then she could have easily stopped something like that, after some time she finally relaxed and then she went back to the bathroom, but now she was keeping her concentration on Lucian.

After a while, both of them walked out of the room in different sets of clothes, Xerome was sitting on the sofa his eyes were red and he didn't seem to have gotten even a wink of sleep.

" Are you alright? Why didn't you go back to your room if the sofa was uncomfortable, well even I was not able to sleep much. " Lucian spoke as he sat away from his father and looked at him with a smile.

" Why... weren't you able to sleep? " Xerome asked in a husky tone.

" That's a secret. " Lucian said and began to check his mobile, there was a message from Scarlett saying that she would be there soon to pick him up.

Natasha prepared the breakfast, while Lucian pondered on how he was going to tell her that he was leaving again.

With her son con personality, it would be hard for him to leave and if he didn't handle it well then he could literally start a war between Jasmine and Natasha.

' I'm curious, if they both fought then who would win? ' Lucian questioned.

[ It's already been more than eighteen years since the last time Natasha fought, and even if she was at her peak she would still be a little weaker than Jasmine.

But if Natasha is in a rage then it would be hard to say who would win, both of their abilities are very dangerous. ]

Just as Lucian was about to ask more questions about the abilities, Natasha arrived there with a plate and glass, she had prepared a light breakfast for him.

Xerome stood up and walked out of the house without even taking a bath, but he was not planning to go mining, instead he wanted to deal with Lucian somehow.

Scarlett was driving the car towards Lucian's house, she was not able to sleep at all, during the previous night partly because of the work Lucian had given to her and mostly because of what he had done to her.

She racked her brain but there was just no way she could do anything to Lucian without getting killed.

After all, Jasmine is too protective of him and even though Scarlett has been working in that company for so long, she was sure Jasmine wouldn't hesitate for even a second before killing her if Lucian so much as got a scratch.

" It's strange though, I don't feel anything after drinking that poison instead I feel more energized and a little stronger physically, was it really poison? Sigh, I'm gonna need the antidote soon too. " She mumbled and sped up the car.

******

After Lucian finished his breakfast, he finally broke the news to her and Natasha's smile immediately disappeared, just as he had expected she immediately refused to let him go.

After around half an hour and Lucian's long speech he was somehow able to make her believe that he would be fine and it was not because someone was threatening him, and he needed to make all kinds of excuses for that.

And soon the doorbell rang, even though Natasha was still conflicted about sending him away she still silently followed behind him as Lucian walked up to the main door.

Before opening the door he made several promises to his mother and then finally opened the door, Scarlett was standing there with her usual arrogant expression, her gaze first moved towards Lucian then she looked behind him.

And suddenly her back straightened and her eyes widened, it was as if she had just received the shock of her life, her mouth as wide open as it could get, she wanted to speak but no words came out.

" E- Empress?!! " She finally managed to speak one word, but despite her strange behaviour, Natasha stood there with a glare on her face as if she was giving some kind of warning.

" If even a scratch appears over my son's body, then I'll find you, I'll make you regret every decision you have ever taken in your life, you understand right? " Natasha stepped forward and mumbled close to Scarlett's ears.

Natasha's words alone sent shivers down her spine and she visibly trembled, gulping in her saliva she nodded her head hastily and no longer looked straight at her, Scarlett's breathing was ragged.

Meanwhile, Lucian was looking at this exchange from the side strangely, he found it quite strange. Zero had told him that his mother had kind of a... special past, but it seemed her past was much more special than he had expected.

Natasha stepped back as a big smile appeared on her face, she looked at Lucian while caressing his cheek she said goodbye.

" I'll be waiting for you. "

" Don't worry Mommy, I'll be back very soon. " Lucian spoke, as he thought: ' Why do I feel like I am raising a flag for myself here? '

Then Lucian sat in the car on the back seat, Scarlett bowed in front of Natasha and then she hastily and clumsily walked back towards the car, she opened the door and after trying a few times she started the engine and drove away from there.

' Right, I wanted to ask you, how do people get all these abilities? ' Lucian asked in his mind, as he glanced at Scarlett.

[ There are all kinds of abilities here, and one could only get an ability after clearing their first Chasm, no matter which phase it is in. Though ordinary humans can't clear even 1st Phase Chasm. ]

' Then how do they receive abilities? ' Lucian questioned.
