Chương 26: Bringing Luci to His Knee

"You can ask me, Bee. Trust me!" Spider pleaded and tried to convince Luci that Spider was a trustworthy comrade. Ah, no, actually Spider wanted to convince Luci that Spider was a trustworthy partner.

"How can I ask you? Or maybe…" Luci stopped talking only to cover her mouth, too shocked, and failed to believe it.

Then Luci combed the appearance of the Spider who was stout and also dashing. Spider's square and firm face implied how much mystery was hidden there. Luci started sniffing out suspicions, but she still didn't dare to conclude.

"Maybe what? Why did I stop your words?" Spider looked to find out what Luci was thinking right now.

Luci shook her head with her mouth still in her hands. Then to cover her nervousness Luci said that she wanted to approach Hans.

"I want to see Hans before I go home," Luci said calmly. Then she started walking towards Hans' room. Spider didn't prevent her at all. Spider understood that Luci must be very worried right now.

Luci's footsteps were so fast, that Spider failed several times trying to keep up with her steps. Within a few minutes, Spider had not drawn many conclusions. But when Spider saw that Luci would pick up speed when Spider could keep up, the man finally realized something. Luci was trying to avoid him. But Spider didn't know why.

"Bee, wait! Bee!" Spider grabbed Luci's hand then pulled her to stop the fast pace that almost looked like she was running. Luci couldn't help it. With a gasp, Luci stopped. "Are you trying to avoid me?" asked Spider with a slightly impatient face. For Spider today, Luci always tests his anger.

Starting from Luci not remembering her promise, Luci not believing in Spider, to Luci wanting to avoid him. No, he wouldn't let Luci do that. Luci had to stay with him, forever.

Meanwhile, Luci stood timidly. She had a terrible thought about Spider. Luci thought that Spider had intervened in Hans' kidnapping. And if that's true then it's bad. Hans was in danger.

But before Luci answered or refuted what Spider was being accused of, someone came to interrupt.

"Good morning, Mr. Diamond. I didn't expect you to visit so early in the morning without notifying us."

Luci turned quickly towards the source of the voice. Besides Luci was curious about who it was, Luci also wanted to find someone who could help her escape from Spider.

She saw a slender woman. Her height was ideal and slightly taller than Luci's. Her hair was slightly wavy and cut to her shoulders. But even though her hair was wavy, she still looked very neat and charismatic.

Her face was soft but also firm. Her eyes were framed by oval-framed glasses with faded brass hooks. There were a few gray hairs at the base of her hair. Her teeth were white and filed. The woman wore a mint-colored blouse with a matching knee-length skirt. Her shoes were black loafers. She was about fifty years or so.

Meanwhile, Spider, who had been pulling Luci's hand with a slightly bent body position, had now straightened his sturdy body. His face that had expressed an annoyed and spoiled protest had turned frozen and very cold. It was as if that face was a sword that could slash anything to death.

Spider turned to the woman who greeted him. The folds of his eyes had dropped, now his vision wasn't bright and sparkling anymore. Spider pulled Luci's body close to him while his face was now facing the woman.

"I have a business." Spider replied very coldly. It was as if that cold voice could freeze a human to the very core of his smallest cell. It was as if bones could freeze and the body shuddered when they heard Spider's answer.

Luci, who heard the contrast between Spider's voice and attitude, finally looked up in surprise. Luci was very surprised how Spider could turn this drastic, from a gentle and kind man to a man who was so cruel and so disrespectful.

Luci looked up and down at Spider's appearance. His clothes were still the same, his face was still the same, and his eyes were no different. That was, the Spider beside Luci was still the same Spider from the first time Luci met. But why was his aura so different?

The spider had turned cold when he spoke to the man assigned to guard Luci in the Evil Fort. But because Luci wasn't focused, she didn't notice. Now that Luci was fully aware and witnessed this irrational change for herself, how could humans change so quickly?

"Ah, that's how it is. Alright, I'm just here to say hello to you. If you need anything you can contact me. Good morning, Sir." The woman withdrew politely and bowed. Even though she was older than Spider, why did that woman value Spider so much? And earlier that woman called Spider as Diamond?

Luci's eyes widened and she remembered the words of the man who guarded her in the Evil Fort. The man had asked if Luci knew Diamond. So it turned out that Spider was Diamond? Then how great was Diamond?

"Ider. Who are you?" Luci asked with a look of suspicion and fear.

Spider, who had been so cold and frozen when he spoke to the old woman, finally started to turn soft again, especially when he heard Luci ask him. Spider's smile grew tall and stunning. His eyes lit up when he saw Luci.

"I? I'm Spider, Bee." ('Yours,' Spider added silently.)

"No, that's not it. You know exactly what I mean. That person calls you Diamond. Do you know anything about The Crown?" Luci also didn't know about The Crown. Luci asked that because the man guarding her said that Spider's coat belonged to The Crown. Whether The Crown eas an area, a company name, or something else, Luci didn't know.

"How did you know about The Crown?" Spider's face turned gray and also pale. His deep eyes widened as if he had just found a knife that could stab him. "Tell me how did you know about that?" Spider grabbed Luci's wrist so she would answer immediately.

Spider's body began to tremble, his heart pounding. Spider wanted to immediately reveal his identity to Luci but not in a short time Because Spider didn't want Luci to stay away from him.

Spider wanted to bring Luci to his knees first. Spider wanted to make sure that Luci had to rely on him first. Spider wanted Luci so crazy about him. Spider wanted Luci so addicted to him.

Then if that happened, Spider would reveal his identity, because then Luci would not have the power to leave him, forever.
