Chapter 109: Surprise

Lucian sat down and held the guitar as he touched the strings and began to tune them, after he felt it was perfect he thought of a song to play.' Aren't there a bit too much coincidences around me? First with Tess and now meeting Karen again, though I hope they are nothing more than coincidences. '

Lucian thought in his mind, he went over everything he had just learned. Closing his eyes, he began to press the strings with precision while his other hand strummed a rhythmic beat.

The melody began to rang out in the room, he started off slow then his fingers began to move with a little more speed as the music grew intense and louder.

He was perfectly hitting each chord producing exactly the sound he had in his mind, his level was still that of someone who had been learning the guitar for a few months or so.

Soon he stopped, Lucian was satisfied with the result so he decided to continue just then he remembered something.

" Oh I almost forgot to check the news, the incidents from yesterday should be being reported right now. " He mumbled and then opened news on his computer.

The first news was something that Lucian was not expecting, it was the missing report of John and Ron, because of the disturbing images he had sent the case had become more than a little popular.

" So those two became popular huh, aren't they lucky? " Then Lucian changed to another news channel.

" This is the High - k channel and I am currently present at one of the site where a shocking incident had taken place yesterday.

Over twenty four people had been murdered by someone at different places in just a single night.

They weren't killed by a gun or knife, every single one had died in a manner different from other but all of them had died in horrifying ways.

Many of these places even had eye witnesses, and after talking with them we have come to know that some of the people who had died were criminals and all of them had died while they were in the middle of commi- "

A man was reporting from one of the streets where Lucian had killed three men.

Then he changed the channel. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

" We are currently present with one of the eye witness, she is also a victim who was saved by that mysterious figure just in time.

She had said that two men were trying to sexually assault her but just before the two assailants could do anything to her, someone killed them both but in such a terrifying way.

All the eye witnesses also said that his body was covered by some kind of black flames and he looked like a demon.

They were only able to see his eyes and a smile that was especially intimidating. The victim at one of the place would be telling about it herself. " A woman spoke then she pointed the mic towards a girl beside her.

" T- Those men were about to force themselves on me and h- he suddenly appeared, his body was covered in flames and he was carrying a sword a- and he looked so terrifying I just fainted b- but thank you for saving me, before leaving he even wrote something on the wall... "

-WE ARE SORRY, WE WILL BE BETTER HUMANS IN OUR NEXT LIFE. FORGIVE US, EVERY SOUL THAT HAD PERISHED BECAUSE OF OUR DEEDS-

Lucian again changed the channel.

" Most of the public already have started to support this mysterious person, they are making him a hero of darkness.

Police is trying find clues and catch him but the online community is calling him a hero, a vigilante. They have even given him a name... "

" Ooh Zero what do you think they are going to call me, I am quite excited about it. " Lucian spoke.

[ With how brutal all those murders were, I am sure it is going to be something good. ]

" ...people are calling him 'Smile' "

"..."

Lucian closed the news, his mood suddenly became sour.

" Seriously? Smiiiile? That is not even a name, is that really the best the could come up with? Even Michael Jackson would have been better. Fuck, now it's ruined, tch. "

[ It's a good name actually, Smile- COUGH so as I was saying it isn't as bad of a name, it sound cute. ]

" Forget it, now I don't even want to think about it. " Lucian said and released a sigh.

Then he continued to learn, it won't take long now for Echo to be completed the code was almost done, then the only thing left would be her training.

Soon it was time to eat, so pausing his work Lucian ordered food for the three of them, he also provided money to Angelina so that she could buy vegetables and other things, and then she can cook food at home.

After the food had arrived, Lucian woke Tess up, she was surprised and joyful to find the chilly food she wanted.

' I should go and meet Lara today, this is going to be another exciting night. ' Lucian thought after he had finished eating, then he spent some time with Tess while he worked.

Since he needed a licence, so Lucian created one for himself he hacked into the government server, though it did take some time but in the end he successfully got his license, since he didn't want to waste time going there and taking tests.

Then taking his new Mercedes he drove off towards Lara's house, since it was not 4 yet so Monk still had not returned home.

Soon he arrived near his destination, after parking his car there he walked towards the house.

...

Lara was watching TV alone sitting in the hall, Monk was still in school and Junior had gone out to play with his friends.

" I can't believe someone really did that in just one night, though he did kill only the criminals, but can we really trust someone like him? " Lara muttered to herself.

" Yeah, we definitely can't trust someone like him. " A voice sounded from beside her.

" Right, what if he starts to kill normal people too from next- " Lara nodded her head and agreed, but then she noticed that there was someone other than her in the house.

" Kyaaaa- mmph " Without even looking she began to scream but Lucian placed a hand over her mouth and stopped her.

" Why are you acting as if you have seen a ghost in bright day light? " He asked, and Lara finally saw who it was.

" Mmmmph haa haa W- Why are you here? " She asked, her heart was beating madly she was so scared just now.

" Oh nothing, just wanted to see you. " Lucian replied, as he turned the TV off.

" A- Are you here to do that type of things again? " Lara asked, trying to create distance between them.

" Hey, do you seriously believe that is the only reason why I would come to see you? " Lucian answered with another question then he added:

" Though this time I did come here to do that type of thing with you. "

" No, not right now. Junior would be h- home anytime now and it's time for my husband to- " Lara said nervously, hoping that Lucian wouldn't do anything for now.

" Don't worry, we are not going to do anything right now, but I'll come here to pick you up around midnight, so be ready to go out with me. " Lucian said, as he pulled her closer to himself.

" What?!! N- No way, they will find out about it please c- can we just- " Lara was speaking but Lucian interrupted her and spoke:

" Monk will leave the house before midnight on his own, so you don't have to worry about him. "

" Still I can't leave Junior alone in the house- " Lara was again interrupted by him.

" Do I have to tell you everything? Just send him somewhere else, to his grandparents house or aunt or something. " He spoke.

" B- But still it would be wrong to- "

" Sigh Be ready, I'll be here at midnight. I'll take care of Monk but since I am in a bad mood right now, so I need a little appetizer before the main dish. "

After he spoke, Lucian suddenly pulled both her arms as her body moved forward and before she could register what had happened he pressed his lips against her soft red lips.

Lara felt a current running across her body as she felt his warm lips, she couldn't move.

After feeling her moist lips for a few seconds Lucian moved back, then he stood up and spoke: " Hmm that certainly lifted up my mood a little, I'll see you later tonight. "

After saying that he walked away, Lara just sat there shocked and frozen, she could still feel his lips and smell his scent, only after a few minutes had passed did she finally came back to her senses.

" T- Today I would have to... Sorry husband. " Lara mumbled, then she picked up her mobile to call Junior's aunt, she was going to send her son away.

******

Lucian sat in his car and drove away, the car looked new and expensive so it was attracting quite a lot of glances from around.

Just as the Mercedes was leaving, Monk was returning to home on his old bike he saw the expensive car and wondered whom this rich person had come to meet.

" Maybe I should get a car too, I should ask the principal to raise my salary, I have been working so hard after all. " Monk spoke to himself.

Soon he stopped the bike in front of his house and began to park it, just then he recieved a notification, after parking the bike he took his mobile out and looked at the message.

It was a message from the principal, so Monk began to read it seriously.

" Meet me at this address tonight at 11:30, I have a surpise planned for you, I am sure you are going to love it.

This surprise will bring new hope of light to your shrunken mini mice that lay asleep for more than a decade on your fragile young slim body. "

Monk read the entire message in surprise, it sounded a little strange but instead of paying it much attention he tried to understand the deep meaning of this message.

' Is he calling some hot foreign girls again? But last time I went to such an event, I didn't even get hard and they all laughed at me it was so embarrassing, should I really go this time? '

Monk wondered, but since the principal had called him so he would have to go whether he want to or not.
