Chapter 157: Divorce

After telling Natasha his address Lucian cut the call and rested in the storage room, the sound of battle from the outside was getting lower, after the Chasms were blocked the number of Xarus began to reduce rapidly.' If Scarlett hadn't disappeared right at that time, I wouldn't have been in this situation.

She is really so useless I don't know why she even have that arrogant look on her face just because she is a woman and had awakened? If she was on the other Earth she would have been humbled real quick. '

Lucian thought, his brows knitting together even though he wasn't in as much pain now but after losing all that blood he was feeling weak and dizzy.

[ The protagonist had come out from that cave, his training is over now he will be starting his hunting of resources and trasures, and thus his strength will increase rapidly. ]

' Since the protagonist has come out so the villains and other charcters will also start to appear now, I guess I should also play my role properly. '

He thought, and now that all his computer and other things have been destroyed Lucian would have to buy new things and set them up again.

Just then the outside became completely quiet in an instant as if all the Xarus have disappeared and no more sound of fighting came, and after a few seconds all the people in the room heard the sound of footsteps.

' She is here... '

Lucian thought, his torn shirt was wrapped around his wound, and all the blood around him was still there.

In the next moment, Natasha hastily entered the storage room, just as she stepped in she swept her gaze around and immediately found Lucian, then she questioned:

" Lucian, are you oka-? " But her eyes widened as she saw all the blood around him, and the several wounds all over his body, just from a glance on his face, he looked really weak.

Natasha kneeled down in front of him, her face full of worry and pain almost as if she could feel everything he had gone through all this.

When he lived with her she wouldn't even let a scratch on his body so seeing all those wounds made her feel really terrible.

" Mom, I am fine. When the haa Xaru attacked some awakeners saved m- me, you don't have to worry. " Lucian spoke, all the exhaustion was finally coming back to him, now that he felt safe his body began to lose strength.

" O- Oh no, you lost so much blood... " Natasha muttered in a low tone, so she decided to bring him to the hospital immediately. " Let's go to a hos- "

But just as she was about to speak, Lucian closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

Natasha pulled Lucian into her arms, she was feeling sad and angry, her rage was directed towards the Xaru who were responsible for this and herself, then she picked him up and turned to leave.

Jasmine finally arrived there, she had stopped before to help someone, as she saw Lucian being unconscious her expression changed too, without speaking anything they left the building.

...

After the Xarus were subdued and the 3rd Phase Chasms were blocked for the time being, everyone began to work over repairing all the damage, many people had died during this incident and a lot got injured, even the properties were damaged.

All the places were properly searched to not leave any Xaru on loose, while the news channel began to report the situation with slight fabrications, they would never tell exactly what had happened.

This had various reasons such as to keep the public calm, hide the inability of the different organizations and to depict someone as a hero or portray them as a villain.

Along the news of the strange 3rd Phase Chasm, the news that was getting a lot of attention was about that person who was most probably responsible for this all.

" We weren't able to record the clip of that person, he had taken over all the devices and it was too sudden but these are the photos showing that Demonic being.

Not only did he blast all those people to death, filling all of us with terror and coldness but then he threatened the Pendulum to submit to him.

Normally everyone would have laughed at this, a single person of unknown origins challenging such a big group.

But after what we have seen there is a possibility that even the Pendulum might become the pawns of that demon.

He is cursed, a being of darkness and the harbinger of destruction- he is 'Maledict'. "

Of course most of the people hated him for what he have done, and quickly he rose to the top of the list of most hated person in the world, bringing Jasmine down from her high position.

All the people had started calling that person shrouded in darkness 'Maledict', the one who is cursed and brings destruction.

People were moved away from near the higher phase Chasms since no one knew when they would be activated while the lower phase Chasms upto 5th Phase were blocked by several layers of walls.

Initially not enough time was given to block the 3rd Phase Chasm, but now all the humans began to make their preparation to deal with all the Chasms.

The sixth and seventh phase Chasms were the ones that were too dangerous and if not handled carefully they could cause to too much damage.

Inside a hospital's private room, Lucian opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling as he remembered what had happened before he fainted. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

On his right, Natasha was sitting looking at him with worry in her eyes and on his left was Jasmine, whose face looked emotionless.

And near the door, Scarlett was standing with her head tilted downwards, she was extremely apologetic because of her blunder, if she hadn't left Lucian alone he wouldn't be so injured now.

" Luci are you okay? " Just as Natasha saw Lucian opening his eyes, she leaned towards him and questioned.

" Yes I am fine. " He replied as he sat up slowly, the pain of his wound was back.

"..." Jasmine just looked as Natasha helped Lucian sat up.

Even though the women of this planet were completely different from the original Earth but still they possessed that sixth sense that only women have.

And even though knowing that Natasha is his mother but Jasmine still didn't like Natasha touching Lucian.

" U- Umm... I am sorry, I wasn't able to protect you and failed my duties. " At this moment, Scarlett stepped forward then she bent her back and after forming a 90 degree with her body she spoke.

Jasmine didn't speak while Natasha glared angrily at Scarlett, she still wanted to kill her for putting Lucian's life in danger but was holding back for now.

" Oh, it's alright. I know that you didn't do it on purpose, everyone make mistakes and I am alright right now, so don't think too much about it and... "

Lucian paused as Scarlett raised her head and glanced towards him.

She thought he would be very angry after all he was the one who suffered all that and almost died but his words actually decreased her guilt a little and she felt really grateful.

Even though she don't like men but right now that was not the important thing, she first needed to understand her mistake and get his forgiveness.

Then Lucian continued with a smile: " And can you please just leave, looking at your face is ruining my mood actually. "

" H- Huh? " Scarlett was stunned, her feelings had gone a complete 180 degree, the previous moment she felt a little better but his next words gave her a shock.

" Leave!! " Natasha spoke, she hadn't said any word to her before and was waiting for Lucian to wake up but now there was no longer any need for her to stay here.

"..." Scarlett couldn't form any word as she stared at Lucian's face.

In her entire life this was her most vulnerable moment, all the guilt and pain was accumulating and it was obvious after this event there was going to be a big change in her personality.

Lucian just turned his gaze away from her, Scarlett glanced towards Jasmine and she just nodded telling her to leave.

Even though Jasmine had protected her before but even she was angry at Scarlett for putting Lucian's life in danger.

Scarlett felt really terrible inside, she doubted all her morals and behaviour, after taking in a deep breath she nodded and left the room, deciding to make up for her mistake later.

" You can leave too. " Natasha spoke, her eyes pointed at Jasmine.

" I am going to bring him with me. " Jasmine said, her gaze firmly locked onto Natasha.

" Cough " Lucian coughed grabbing their attention towards him, then he looked at Jasmine and spoke: " I'll be staying with my mom for a while, so you can leave. "

" No, you have to come with me. " Jasmine said, her expression didn't change as she spoke, for some reason she didn't want to just leave him right now and she felt bad that he was talking like that.

It was like how he treated her before, Jasmine felt that their relationship had moved from that initial point after she had learned from the internet, but now she was feeling that all the things she read over the interest were wrong, and she wasn't sure anymore whether he really loved her or not.

" Lucian is going to stay with me, I heard you bought him so I'll return your money and you two can divorce. " Natasha spoke with a solemn expression.
