Chapter 36: Rally

' So how do they receive abilities? ' Lucian questioned.[ The only condition is that they need to be in a Chasm when it is cleared, they don't have to fight those creatures on their own so usually different organisations send their teams to 1st Phase Chasm along with kids or women who are yet to awaken any ability.

And after the Chasm is cleared, some of those people could receive an ability though there is no guarantee, there is a possibility that none among them would receive any ability. ]

After reading the text that appeared in his head, Lucian asked his next question: " Then, are there women who have more than one ability? "

[ There have been a few cases where the woman had awakened two abilities, one of the women died since her abilities were not compatible with each other.

And a couple of women died even though their abilities were compatible since the power output was just too much and their bodies literally exploded. ]

' Oh, so it's impossible to have more than one ability- ' Lucian's thoughts were interrupted by the next text that appeared in his head. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[ No, there have been a couple of women who managed to break the natural restrictions and grow much stronger than anyone else at an unbelievable pace, but I'll leave that for you to figure out. ]

Lucian tried asking her a couple of times but Zero just went silent, he sighed and decided to check the internet later, and then his gaze shifted towards Scarlett again.

" Are you alright? Why are you sweating so much? I think you should take some rest before you crash the car into something. " Lucian spoke as he shook her shoulder and her body jerked as if she had come out of her thoughts.

She nodded and then drove to the side after checking for a proper place, she stopped the car and drank some water, then she looked back at Lucian and questioned with a strange expression.

" I- Is she really your mother? "

" Uhm... Yes she is, can't you tell by just the similarities in our appearance? " Lucian replied pointing towards himself.

Scarlett stared at his face for a couple of minutes and then she glanced at his hair, then she nodded her head and drank some more water.

" Are you aware that your mother is... The Empress? " Scarlett questioned; now instead of scared she seemed a little excited as if she had just met her idol.

' Is that the name my mother was known by before she retired? ' Lucian asked in his mind.

[ Yes, she was quite famous, almost everyone knows her. ]

" Yeah I know, it's no big deal. " He spoke shrugging. Scarlett stared at his face for a few seconds then shaking her head she sighed and started the car again.

" Stop the car near a cafe, I need to drink some coffee. " Lucian said and looked out of the window, most of the people he saw on the side of the road were women who seemed to be going to their jobs while only a few men could be seen.

' Seeing the society here, it truly feels that women really are different on this planet. ' he thought.

Soon the car stopped near a cafe, after parking the car Scarlett asked him about the type of coffee he wanted then she went to purchase it for him, leaving him behind in the car.

Lucian looked around and soon saw a rally of men walking by there, they were holding posters and banners and kept shouting something, feeling a little curious he began to read their slogans:

" Men needs to be protected.

Men deserve to be on the top.

Handle us with care, we are Rare.

Men need tenderness too we are not your toy...

What the fuck? Are they all really men? Tch pathetic. " Lucian clicked his tongue, since he is not yet used to seeing such scenes so it was very strange.

" Here, your coffee. "

Scarlett soon returned and gave him his coffee wondering why he suddenly started to like coffee so much.

Then they travelled in complete silence, after some time had passed when they arrived at the same place they had bought clothes the previous day, Lucian suddenly spoke:

" Press the brake. " Scarlett was a little startled but she instantly hit the brake and the car behind almost hit them.

Lucian got off the car then he walked up to the entrance of the shop where a man in his late thirties was looking back at him with a big smile.

" Hey Peter, how are you feeling? " Lucian asked, as he extended his hand.

" I was waiting for you, how did you manage it? I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life in the prison, but still, I did not regret my decision to kill those three. " Peter Chuck shook his hands and spoke in a grateful tone.

" Well it wasn't that hard, I just put some crimes under your ex wife's name and since she was already cheating on you, so you wouldn't have received a big punishment for her murder. " Lucian replied, but Peter was still confused as he asked while scratching his head:

" But I killed those two men too, that alone would have put me behind the bars for several dozen years even if you somehow made those two men into criminals. "

" The government has made such strict rules against the murder of a man or injuring them not entirely because they truly care for them but because those two men are needed for reproduction.

So I just made them look infertile and using some strong connections, I made all the charges against you completely disappear. "

Lucian explained, as an enlightened expression appeared on Peter's face and now he looked at Lucian with reverence.

Peter himself is a cop, so seeing how Lucian had managed to bring him out of the prison just after one day when he had murdered three people, out of which two were men was nothing short of a magic for him.

" Thank you for doing so much sob for me, if I hadn't met you then I would have already committed suicide. Just tell me if you want me to do anything for you, whatever it may be I'll do anything. " Peter spoke, as he almost kneeled in front of Lucian.

' My words are a little too effective, I need to be careful in the future. ' Lucian thought as he stopped Peter and with a smile he said: " I told you, I am your friend so I helped you. But if you really want to repay me so much then I want you to work for me. "

Just as he finished speaking, Peter replied with a determined expression: " Alright I'll do any kind of work, I'll quit my job as a cop and completely devote my life to y- "

" No, you can keep your job as a cop. Whenever I need your help in the future I'll give you a call, also if you really do as if I say then I'll make you much happier and bigger in the future. " Lucian spoke, placing a hand on Peter's shoulder.
