Max

Lucian sat beside Scarlett with his eyes closed as he kept imagining different scenarios of dealing with his first target, who might pose a threat to his life in the near future.

After a while, they finally arrived near their destination just as Scarlett stopped the car beside the house, Lucian saw a man standing right in front of his house door, neither was he knocking or moving away he just stood there, with a few inches distance from the door.

' What is that man doing? ' Lucian thought and just as he was about to get off the car, a text appeared in his mind, giving him a surprising message.

[ He is Max, the person who has come to this planet in a manner similar to you, and he is the person who has the knowledge of this story to some extent. ]

' So he is the villain who could pose a danger to me? Then what is he doing in front of my house, is he here to find me? Shouldn't I be dead according to his knowledge. ' Lucian wondered.

" Aren't you getting off? " Scarlett spoke with an irritated expression on her face.

" Silence "

[ No, he is not here for you. Since he only possesses some knowledge of the novel so yes, according to him you are already dead, he is here to find Natasha, your mother. ]

' My mother? Why would he? Does she have a significant role in the story? ' Lucian questioned in surprise.

' What is wrong with him? Did he change his mind and why does he look a little intimidating? ' Scarlett wondered her butt tingling, as she remembered the scene from the morning, she was having difficulty even sitting on the seat.

[ Max is here since his next plans involve your mother, Natasha, one of the heroine in the story. ]

' So my mother is one of the important characters in the story, then why am I just an insignificant sacrifice? ' Lucian asked while staring at Max who stood close to the door without moving at all, even the people walking by were looking at him strangely.

[ Your mother has a dangerous past but she changed herself for you, she was quite famous before your birth. And when she hear about your death, she would go out of control in rage and directly attack Jasmine.

And at that time, Jasmine was already feeling guilty after killing the person she loved the most, so your mother almost succeeded in killing her but the protagonist came into the scene at that point and swoops in two powerful heroines just like that. ]

' So this Max guy is here to deliver the news of my death to my mother, and use this situation to his advantage so that he can control her in whatever ways he want, right? ' Lucian deduced.

[ Yes something like that, so what do you plan to do? ]

Lucian stared at Max for a while with an emotionless face as Zero awaited his reply, then he answered in a solemn tone:

' I plan to... use the restroom first, ughhh this body is too weak who gets a stomach ache just after drinking a little bit of coffee in the morning. '

[...]

' Anyway, it's not time for us to meet just yet, but this guy is seriously a creepy psycho, he had been standing there staring at the door for the previous ten minutes. ' Lucian thought.

[ Hmph Kettle calling the pot black. ]

' At least use the right idiom, haa and people say that reading books makes you smarter. ' he shook his head internally and then looked at Scarlett.

" Get rid of that guy, also warn him to not come anywhere near that house, he has been standing there for quite long maybe he is here to harm me. "

Scarlett stared at his face for a few seconds, if what he said is correct then there could be a mole in their company or someone who is keeping a close eye on them and leaking the internal news.

" Okay wait here. " After speaking Scarlett got out of the car and walked closer to Max.

Max stood there with his face close to the door there was no emotion on his face, as he heard the sound of foot steps from behind he turned around, in an instant his expression changed as a friendly smile appeared on his face even before he had turned around.

" Hello are you Natasha? " Max spoke, he talked in a warm tone.

Lucian finally looked at Max's face, he had short black hair and was wearing formal clothes, he seemed to be in his late twenties.

He had an above average appearance and he looked like a good and outgoing guy, his smile and the way he talked were enough to befriend anyone easily.

" Just get the fuck away from here. " Scarlett spoke with a frown on her face, she just wanted to get away from here as soon as possible.

" Haha Actually I am Lucian's friend and I have something very important to talk to you. " Max spoke without showing any change in his expression, even after seeing Scarlett's rude behaviour.

Max is only aware of the main events of the story but he doesn't have detailed knowledge of everything so he did not know much about Natasha, but he knew that before having a child she was the leader of a big and famous group.

Seeing Scarlett's behavior and judging from her age, Max concluded that she must be Natasha but before actually starting his plan he wanted to get a better understanding of her.

Lucian was deep in thoughts as he watched how Max was observing every little detail about Scarlett. ' He knows the human psychology quite well, must have tricked quite a lot of people in his previous life. In any case he is going to be a formidable opponen- '

*BANG*

Max fell several metres away as Scarlett slapped him with the back of her hand, he instantly fell unconscious.
