Chapter 21: Charm

Lucian stayed silent for a few seconds, but no answer came from the crying man.

" ... If you tell me, maybe I will be able to help you out somehow. " Lucian spoke in a soft and sympathetic voice, since he needed to wait here for a couple of minutes anyway he decided to test something.

Maybe this man actually needed some help or maybe he just wanted to depend on someone during this depressing period of his life, as he began to speak amidst his sobs.

" I am sob P- Peter, I am a cop. I have been married for almost two decades sob sob and y- yesterday I found that my wife h- had two more husbands just like m- me COUGH even though I l- love her so much. I don't t- think I can sob sob live any longer, I just want d- die. "

Peter finished his story, he was not expecting anything from Lucian, but still felt a little better after getting everything out. In fact, he planned to jump in front of a bus soon to end his life.

" Are you a fucking idiot? P- Peter my friend, do you think that after your death your so called slut for a wife will leave those men and live the rest of her life in misery regretting her decisions? She will keep you in her memories?

No! She will just find some other men. And believe me, even while you are here crying and planning to die, she must be out there somewhere hopping on those two cocks.

So do you really deserve this? Did you not love her enough? I am sure there must be people out there who care about you, right? " Lucian spoke, there was sympathy and a kind of rage in his voice.

" Uh Actually no, no one c- cares for me. " Peter replied getting even more depressed.

" No one? Like absolutely no one? " Lucian asked.

" No one... "

"..."

" Anyway, as a fellow man and as a friend I am here to support you. So it should not be you who must suffer. Did you make any kind of mistake? Have you ever tried to be unfaithful to her?

Didn't you give your best? Did she even apologize to you after you found out about it? " Lucian spoke, his speech getting louder with each passing moment, he even started to gather attention from the people around.

" Y- Yes I did everything I could for her, I treated her like a goddess, she was my everything. But she just tossed me aside in the end, she never truly loved me. " Peter replied his expression changing from depressing to angry.

Then Lucian took out his mobile and while showing a photo to Peter he spoke:

" Yes you are absolutely right, you see this man here? He was just like you, someone who deeply loved his wife but in the end not only did his wife never respected him but she even beat him up to this extent, do you think he just took it all and decided to kill himself?

No, we men are born fighters even if we may be weaker than those women. This man went and beat her up to the point where she have become afraid of this friend of mine.

But your wife, she is much more evil, her sins are far greater so what kind of punishment do you think she deserves? " Lucian spoke he observed how Peter's expression kept changing the more he listened to him.

" Yes, why should I die when I did everything right. It was the fault of that slut and her two boy toys, they should be the ones who should be punished they deserve baptism for committing the sin of adultery and many other things. " Peter spoke with rage in his voice and fire in his eyes.

" What are you doing? Who is he? " Scarlett spoke as she saw Lucian talking to some stranger.

" Oh nothing, I was just talking to my good friend here. " As he spoke Lucian closed Lily's photo in his mobile in which he was injured and then put it away.

" Then good bye, for now, you deserve to live more than anyone else, and I care for you. " After saying that with a warm smile, Lucian walked away with Scarlett.

[ I wonder if you are an angel or a devil? ]

' Of course, I am a pure adorable angel, haa I just can't help when I see someone in a problem, even now I ended up saving a person's life. ' Lucian replied.

[ Yeah you did save a life but in exchange for three others, your manipulation skill is just as terrifying as your hacking. ]

' But it was a little more easier to change his mind as in my previous life I would have needed to do proper planning for something like this. Is there a reason behind it? Or maybe he was just too vulnerable. ' Lucian asked as he stood up.

[ Yes he was vulnerable but the biggest factor behind this is your charms. You know that you are born in this world with an almost perfect body, right? Charms don't only signify good looks, it also makes it a lot easier for others to believe every word you say. ]

' Oh! That... nice. ' he commented.

' But is it not illegal here for a woman to have multiple men? ' Lucian questioned.

[ It is indeed illegal for a married woman to be with another man because of the low population of men but there aren't any heavy punishments, so it happens all the time. And as for men with multiple women, they are just seen as dirty and looked as if they are men sluts. ]

After putting the shopping bags full of clothes in the back of the car, they continued their journey Lucian's house was at a distance of around a two and half an hour ride, and for the rest of the time they continued in silence.
