Charlus was smiling at Denise, who was in the audience watching Charlus wipe the floor with Lucie. She had her mouth open in shock. Charlus winked at her and then went off stage. He was following the medical staff who were taking Lucie somewhere.
Obviously, the staff weren't aware that they were being tailed. Charlus was not sure who he was supposed to trust and who he wasn't supposed to, so he decided to play it safe. The last thing he wanted was to be led into an ambush full of people.
On second thoughts, he would actually prefer it. It would give him a ton of Exp.
Charlus suddenly clamped his hand on the shoulder of the medical staff.
”Is the gal okay?” He asked the man.
”She will be awake in an hour. She will be taken to her room.”
Charlus gasped. ”She has her own room? I have to see it.”
Charlus followed the person to Lucie's room. He sat on the couch in the room while Lucie was lifted and put on the bed there. The person who had carried her looked at Charlus.
”If you do anything to the fighter, her owner will get angry. Madame Fehari is not someone to be angered. And you should stay here. I will call someone to receive you.”
The person left the room. Charlus heard a click sound, which was the sound of the locking of the door. Charlus looked at Lucie who was still on the bed.
”You don't need to pretend. I didn't use any force on that blow.” Charlus spoke. He was staring at Lucie.
Lucie turned her head to look at Charlus.
”Why are you even here? Don't you have a life of your own?” Lucie was very angry at Charlus.
”Why are you so upset? I came here to save you. And your 'brother'. How is he by the way? Is he doing well?” Charlus asked Lucie.
Lucie turned away. ”This information will not do you any good. You should go away.”
”You have known me for 2 weeks. When have I ever displayed anything less than what is required to free you from these shackles?!”
Charlus turned around and took out his Angel of Death Scythe from his inventory. He sliced through the wall. The scythe passed through the wall and came back, stained in blood.
”AAAHH!” A loud shrill scream was audible. Lucie was very shocked. She was unsure of Charlus' motives.
The door of the room opened with a bang and four men with guns surrounded Charlus. They saw the scythe in Charlus' hand that was now dripping blood on the floor and gulped.
”Well, looks like you have guests,” Charlus commented.
The four men gave way and a middle-aged woman came to the front. She was wearing a luxurious robe and far too much make-up for her age.
”Who are you? Why are you here?” She asked coldly.
”I am here to see the person behind my opponent. Obviously, I am interested in seeing the person who groomed this valuable asset.”
Charlus said this while going towards Lucie. He sat on her bed and caressed her neck. Lucie was pretending to be unconscious and she slightly shivered.
