My NTR Harem

Chapter 42: Under the Bed?



Hearing Lucian's answer, Jasmine did not show any expressions on her face, after which she just nodded towards him and walked out of there.

Lucian thought that she might get angry at him, but seeing her reaction he felt maybe she really doesn't have any feelings.

' What was all that? ' Lucian thought, as he fell back onto the bed.

[ Who knows? ]

Lucian pondered her words and actions, but soon he fell asleep while Jasmine continued her research.

******

At the dawn of the next day, Lucian woke up early now his main goal was to get his body in shape and increase his physical capabilities to some extent before Jasmine could collect all the herbs for the mind strengthening pill.

On the sidelines he was preparing things for Max, so while he was going to his private gym he sent a text message to Peter giving him a few instructions that he needed to follow.

After which Lucian began his work out, the second day was even more intense than the first, Scarlett would come to see him in between his sessions and ask if he needed anything.

Scarlett had drunk the second dose of the potion Lucian had given to her and for some reason, she felt her physical strength increase by a little and it even removed all her exhaustion.

It felt just like the poison and even the taste was similar, but she had no choice but to believe his words she couldn't even dream of hurting him since Jasmine is too protective of him, so even before Scarlett could do anything she might actually die.

Lucian spent all of his time either in the gym or in front of his computer, he was designing something special that shouldn't exist in this world at this point in time.

He especially avoided Jasmine since she seemed a little strange the last time they met, the entire day went just like that while Jasmine was busy with her own work.

******

In the morning the next day, Max went to work as usual even though he is a Protuber, but like many others he is associated with a big company that helps him out with various things, and it's not really easy for a man to work in this world.

He had not seen anything strange after that one comment in his stream, so even though Max had his doubts but he decided to think of it as just a coincidence and forget about it.

He had been staying low and only living his life through his first Identity because of which he was getting impatient he wanted to see the proud and strong woman of this world cry, beg and suffer.

His first target, Jasmine, was too big currently, so he decided to make some smaller goals for some time until he finds a way to reach Natasha and to Jasmine.

As usual, he walked out of his house with a big smile, while wondering if he should just choose his direct boss as his first target but just as he walked away a man rushed towards his house.

Opening the locks without much trouble he entered the house and began to work his magic, it wasn't until a dozen minutes had passed that he finally walked out of there and put the lock back.

This man had taken Max's officer I'd card and left some surveillance cameras in the house, after finishing the work he dialled a number and began to report.

Max usually streams in his office but since his subscribers kept demanding it so he promised to soon do a challenge video outdoors. After a long day at work he returned back home feeling even more frustrated, he was missing that enjoyable sensation and the sight of a woman dying in front of him.

With a long sigh, he opened the lock of the door and walked inside without suspecting anything, but just after taking a few steps inside, he noticed the condition of his house.

Everything was destroyed, the pots, the lamps, the glass plates, glasses, TV and many other things. The bedsheet was torn, and the curtain was lying over the floor, wherever he looked Max found that most of the things were destroyed.

He walked around the house and soon he saw something written on the wall with blood, just reading those letters sent shivers down Max's spine, he took a few shaky steps back and fell over the pillows lying there, his heart beating wildly.

HEY HEN, DO YOU STILL SLEEP UNDER THE BED?

These nine words were written clearly over the wall, 'Hen' was the pet name that Max's mother used to call him with, for a few minutes he couldn't understand anything and felt as if his head was about to burst.

Around ten minutes had passed before he finally calmed down a little, after drinking a glass of water he walked out of the house, those letters alone had brought some really bad memories that he never wanted to remember again.

Even though so much time had passed, he had not gotten over those incidents, his psycho side is just a way he uses to protect himself from the past, a past that's always there to haunt him.

After locking his house from outside, Max walked away from there without taking anything with him. He decided to just buy all the stuff later, but for now he needed to hide under the bed, his heart was still beating like crazy.

While walking in the streets he decided to stay at some hotel, he didn't want to go back to that place ever again, as for who is the person who had done all that, he will have to think about it all later.

******

Lucian's day was just like the previous day, he spent quite a long time in the gym and then began to work on the project, after the project was finished his work would be so much easier.

He was eating much more than usual even though it had only been a short time but a little change could be seen in his body, Lucian was humming a song as he walked out of the bathroom after taking a bath, then he began to wear his clothes.

" This project is taking longer than I had expected, the software and hardware here are so much lacking. Before dying, I could have finished this within two to three days but I think I'll be done after around two weeks or three. " Lucian mumbled to himself as he wore his sleepwear.

[ Good luck. ]

" What do you mean by that now? Is there going to be some kind of trouble again? Sigh " Lucian asked as soon as a text appeared in his head, he was getting a bad feeling about this.

But he got no answer from Zero so feeling a little helpless he sat in front of his computer and opened the live CCTV on his screen, even though it was already night but only one person could still be seen working in the office.

It was Lily, for some reason, Lucian had been feeling a little angry from the time when he caught Lily staring at Jasmine's image.
