"Tsk, he humiliated you?"
Jayden chuckled as he smoked the cigarette in his hand. Hearing Jonathan's story about what happened last night made him feel comforted.
He didn't expect that Jonathan could be defeated so easily by a newcomer in their large group. Jonathan, who is famous for being great at the gambling table and even chosen as the captain of a team of five, in fact, is nothing compared to a Lucien.
Seeing Jayden mocking him irritated Jonathan even more. He knew that Jayden could be more on his side than Claude.
Jayden changed his sitting position to be a little relaxed. In front of him, the vast meadow was so pleasing to his eyes. This was the best part of this mansion apart from the dozens of horses he could ride.
"Do you think that's funny?"
"Have you discussed this with Claude?"
"I came here to see him, but I'm not sure he'll take me seriously. He adores that jerk too much and thinks he's special because of the constantin crest on his body. Damn it, I'm really sick of him!"
"I understand your annoyance, if I were you I think I could be even more angry than this. But if I did it would only make it sound like I'm jealous of him."
"To be honest I'm jealous!"
"Oh really?"
"In the time I've been here, I've never seen such an astonished reaction from Claude. From his face as well as his reaction, I can tell that it's the first time he's seen someone he deserves to be so proud of. He doesn't see us as members enough so special that we-"
"You're too much, Jo!"
"What?"
"I know Claude very well, we were resurrected by Lucifer from the dead in a short time. But as you can see, even though I am much stronger than Claude, Claude is the alpha. That's why I want to tell you that strength isn't everything. It doesn't matter if Lucien is much stronger than you as long as you can surpass him in terms of intelligence and talent, then you are the winner. But the story will be different if Lucien is far superior to you in terms of intelligence, then you must be prepared to give up something that will definitely fall into his hands, "
"Tch, damn it!"
Jonathan cursed in annoyance, he didn't know that the reality was much sadder than he thought. Lucien was too tough for him to fight against, but however he couldn't take it for granted that one day Lucien would take his place as team captain five.
"Hahaha... calm down, Jonathan! As a devil you have been blessed with another power that can be much more useful than you know,"
"What's that?"
"Cunning!"
"Cunning? What do you mean!"
"Listen, I'm sure you already know that whatever we are going to do right now or no matter how much good we do, it will have no effect and get us into heaven. We will all go to hell without exception. Therefore, do whatever you can to get back at Lucien and get his revenge plan with Victor thwarted."
Hearing Jayden's suggestion made a ray of hope appear in Jonathan's mind who had been devastated since realizing that Lucien beat him and he broke Victor's trust in him.
However Victor is a very important and influential person whose business empire has always been able to outperform all its rivals. People respect the 35-year-old man and are vying for his trust.
"You're right, I'm half demon and I have the power and opportunity to destroy others without needing to be afraid of the things I was afraid of when I was living as a human! Hahaha...why didn't I think of something so easy like this?" ?"
"Tch, you're the one who's too slow to think! But don't get too excited, Jonathan! Your opponent isn't human either, just like you. But a half-demon who's likely to be much stronger than you. Lucien could be thinking of way more dangerous than you ever thought before. Therefore, be careful with him and all the possibilities that could happen."

Lucien looked at himself in the mirror, he still didn't move even though he saw his form which was exactly the same as before he died. Sometimes he felt that everything that was happening to him right now was just the worst nightmare. But every time he remembered how the killers laughed at his helpless self and how Ruby and Victor kissed each other in front of him, he realized more and more that this was the real world he had to live in.
He was back at the same casino tonight, playing for a rich man named Reinhard. His win the other day delighted Claude and compelled the other young jockeys to come with him tonight and see how he plays.
"Do you think it's too crowded?" asked Sebastian, who was a little worried that Lucien would be uncomfortable with the jockeys and bodyguards who were forced to come with them to one of Victor Schneider's casinos tonight.
Lucian didn't really care, for him if it was Claude's order, then he had no choice to refuse it. For him the most important thing right now is to show his new self as often as possible in front of Victor, make Victor truly believe that he is a different person and then make himself Victor's confidant like before.
He knew that if he wanted to destroy Victor from within, it would be to infiltrate his life and make Victor choose him as a confidant.
"Whatever!" He said briefly. From the look on her cold and even face, it was clear that she didn't mind.
Sebastian smiled as he nodded slowly, then got into his own car. Lucien drives his black sports car through the streets that are so sparkling in the middle of Las Vegas City. Behind him, Sebastian's car and the cars of several jockeys and bodyguards followed behind him.
The interesting sight made the people along the way they were walking look at them in awe. Especially when Lucien and company arrived at the casino. Lucien stepped out calmly, relaxed and confident. He knew that no one could stop him now, including Victor.
