"Are you sure you can beat Victor with just your skills?"
Right before Lucien left, Claude immediately used his ammunition to stop Lucien. He doesn't want to lose the most important power that can bring this pack to the top of the highest hierarchy in the world. Claude knew that currently the black business they were running had many rivals that had to be eliminated, either by normal means or by force.
He wants to eliminate his enemies without weapons that can be easily tracked, but with the demonic powers they have, no one will know that they are the predators and Lucien will be the main weapon that Supernova Revenge has.
Lucien turned his head when he heard Claude's question, he glared at him with his ferocious wolf eyes. Claude really liked his eyes and if the compliment came out of his mouth, you can be sure that Lucien would think of him the same as Victor because such a compliment was said by Victor before.
"I can always beat him!"
"Really? But why are you the one who died right now? While he was sleeping and having fun with your wife? You know, Lucien. You've lost, that's why you want to avenge your defeat. He didn't get anything from you anymore that's why he eliminated you. You are his most valuable asset and when he can no longer use those assets at will, it is better to just get rid of them than someone else picks them up. He doesn't want anyone else to have you that's why he killed you and your wife for nothing more than an ordinary, unimportant lighter."
Lucien growled in annoyance, his hands clenched into fists and shaking. He hated hearing those words and his hatred was even greater because Claude had said them.
He was so angry at himself for being so stupid in the past for willing to give up his whole soul to serve a devil like Victor. Even though from the start he knew that Victor would not let him go, at that time he was so arrogant and believed that he could leave whenever he wanted. He did not expect that the faith he had ended up as such a tragic death ceremony for him.
"You seem to know everything about me as well as Victor. Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important, Lucien. Right now the most important thing is how you can destroy his life slowly until he feels the most painful suffering before his death. Be his worst nightmare and be a hero for him whether he likes it or not!"
No, he didn't expect that the words Victor said would be firmly embedded in his heart. He hates the feeling where he starts to be affected by someone's convincing words.
Lucien knew his weakness, he who had never had a parental figure, especially a father figure from a young age, could be so affected by the attention and kindness of a man who was older than him. Even though he knows that the figure he trusts is a bad man, as long as that figure is kind to him, he will remain loyal
When she was with Victor, she considered Victor to be the ideal father and brother figure for her, she trusted Victor so much that that trust was broken and turned into hatred.

Miami, Florida, September 17, 2018
Summer in a luxury beachside villa, Lucien sits on a swing sipping a cold bottle of soda. The sea breeze felt so searing on his skin, he really enjoyed summer if that meant he would spend his time surfing or beach volleyball. But if summer means he has to spend time with dozens of beautiful women in bikinis, it's like spending time in hell for him.
The women always tease him, it seems they are always captivated by his charm which often makes Victor feel annoyed because he is far more attractive than Victor.
That's not to say Victor isn't in the category of handsome and tempting men. Victor actually looks very attractive, his blonde hair and blue eyes show the charisma of an alpha male who always wants to be the center of attention and at the top of the hierarchy.
Tall and well built, he is very good at fashion and always looks neat and formal. Obviously, women like handsome and rich men like him. But the mysterious figure of Lucien, is no match for Victor.
"Lucien, what are you doing here? Victor and the girls are having a party in the pool!" Said Melisa, an adult magazine model who was rented by Victor for a vacation together.
Lucien didn't respond, even though this beautiful woman tried to seduce him. Melisa sat beside Lucien, showing off her sexy body which was only clad in a red bikini. Lucien was not interested, although he had to admit that Melisa was a very beautiful woman.
"So why did you come to me here?"
"Mr. Victor asked me to call you. He seems to have something to say. You know what? He can't be without you!"
"Sounds so ridiculous!"
"Hahaha...but that's what he said!" Uhm... what do you think?" Melisa stood in front of Lucien, showing off her beautiful curves. Lucien looked at her for a moment, then took another sip of the soda in his hand.
"Beautiful!"
"Is it true?" Melisa immediately smiled happily when Lucien praised her. This was the first time Lucien had complimented after the few times they met and Lucien always ignored it.
"I think so. You want to hear me say that, don't you?"
Even though he had just praised a woman, it seemed that Lucien didn't really mean it and that immediately made Melissa's face change.
"You have to praise me?" he asked with his hands on his hips. He felt annoyed and disappointed, but he really liked Lucien.
"Possible!"
"Lucien, you are really mean! I hate you!" Annoyed Melisa immediately walked away, but to be honest she really wanted Lucien to chase after her and stop her.
Of course, that was something Lucien would never do. Chasing women, he wouldn't possibly want to do it. However, he remembered Melissa's message that he wanted to talk to her.
Instead of chasing the beautiful woman who was angry with him, Lucien chose to meet Victor who was in the swimming pool with his friends and also the beautiful women.
From 10 meters before the swimming pool, he could hear the sound of music and the laughter of people who were having a party. As he got closer, he could see several couples making love by the pool.
They are totally messed up, the place is filled with alcohol, music and naked people. In the lounge area, he saw Victor sitting relaxed with several men and women while enjoying cocktails. Victor seems to really enjoy his life which is always filled with pleasure.
Lucien walked over to him. But as he got closer, he could hear his name coming out of Victor's mouth. Victor was telling his friends about himself, laughing as if he was a funny clown whose stories alone made other people entertained.
"All of this is thanks to Lucien. The casino business that I had doubts was successful in my hands, is now in my hands. He is my lucky card, a priceless asset."
"What if I bid him $200 million?"
"I wouldn't sell him even for 500 million dollars. He's my precious pet and you can't buy him because he's only mine. I'm his only master."
"You're right, I'm only yours."
Their laughter stopped when they realized someone was speaking. Victor looked back, caught Lucien's face which looked very cold and scary.
"My Lucky, come here! Join us-"
"No thank you, Mr. Victor. My place is not between you and your friends who are very rich. My place is in the dog kennel with a rope around my neck. I just want to remind you that no matter how loyal a dog is, he will always can bite its master."
