hello everyone, I'm back with a new chapter. Please leave a comment and review with 5 stars. Emily Rochester is so aggressive. Can she compete in love with Lidya for Louzen's heart?
Being threatened by an unstable girl like Emily Rochester made Louzen sigh to let his emotions subside because he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble and eventually attract the attention of the Rochester family, who was said to have a strong influence in the Megan Kingdom. After his emotions stabilized, Louzen smiled at Emily, "Apparently, you are stubborn too, as a girl from a conglomerate family. Tell me, how far will you go, Miss Emily?" Emily became even more enthusiastic when challenged by the man who caught her attention. She said as she looked back at Louzen. "As far as possible. If necessary, to the very bottom of who you are, Mr. Dominic Louzen." Louzen was stunned. He had not expected Emily to find out about him so quickly. "Unbelievable. How fast did your informant find out about me? Well... no wonder you can do everything so easily. The people of the Rochester family must have extensive connections since you guys are one of the best families in Megan's Kingdom." "
"Where are we going, sir?" Dereck asked. They were now in the car that had just left the restaurant courtyard. "Back if I'm not obligated to meet your leader right now." "Yes, sir. We don't need to rush to leave. The leader does not mind if you arrive late." Dereck replied. "Your leader is quite understanding too." Louzen felt tight after eating so much. He leaned back against the car seat as he closed his eyes again. He was really like a pig. "Sorry, sir. Are we going back to the mansion or-" "Back to the mansion. And in the meantime, order your men to keep an eye on my wife's house. Her name is Lidya." "Wife?" Dereck and Jackson asked simultaneously. Both of them were surprised by Louzen's statement. "Don't you know I'm married?" Louzen furrowed his brow. "Sorry, sir, you didn't say. How did we know?" "Ah, I forgot, sorry. I already have a wife named Lidya. She lives in an area that doesn't seem far from here. You can find her yourself later." "What it means?" Jackson was s
Louzen went down the stairs and go to the kitchen to make coffee. At the kitchen door, he met a woman who bowed to him. "Good morning Mr. Louzen. I'm Erina, one of the servants at the mansion. Sorry to ask, does Mr. Louzen need anything?" "I want to make some coffee. You don't need to mind me; continue your work." "But, sir, my job here is to serve your needs. Let me make the coffee. You can wait in the living room." "Okay. I don't have a sweet tooth. So make sure to cut down on the sugar." "Okay. Just as you ordered, sir." Louzen left the kitchen doorway and chose to wait in the living room. He did not want to delay the time to see the leader because he did not know the exact state of the woman he had tried to help yesterday. But leaving in a hurry was not a good choice either, considering that he could stay in this mansion thanks to the orders from the leader. The living room was quiet. There were only a few maids cleaning the furniture and furnishings that filled the room. Lo
Dereck knew that something was weighing on Louzen's mind just by looking at his Master's attitude. But Dereck could do nothing but serve by his Master's side. Seeing how his master was enjoying the pancakes with a blank stare made Dereck bow. "Sir, I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous. Is there anything weighing on your mind?" Dereck's sudden question made Louzen put back the pancake that had almost entered his mouth. Louzen smiled lightly, "Even if something were weighing on my mind, you wouldn't understand. In the future, you don't need to sympathize with me. Now stand up! I'm not used to seeing people bowing down in front of me. Break your habit on this one." "Yes, sir." Dereck again stood upright beside the sofa without doing anything. Louzen's lips wore a bitter smile, 'It's not that easy to blend into my second life. In the end, the past still shadows me. Vi... are you happy in your current life? Will we be able to meet again if I'm gone?' Those stupid thoughts had crossed Louzen'
One life was now in Louzen's hands. Although he didn't fully trust Jackson, he had someone he could trust to take confidential orders. Looking at the pile of files in front of him, Louzen feigned ignorance and asked why Jackson had placed them on his desk. Louzen's eyes looked lazily at Jackson and asked, "What about these documents? Do I have to take over everything now?" Asked Louzen. He massaged his throbbing forehead from thinking how troublesome it would be to take care of so much work that drained his brain. Well... it couldn't be helped. Louzen used his instincts and speed to kill people, not to calculate and analyze documents like businessmen. "You can't help but do it, sir. The business that is already underway cannot be ignored. In addition, nobles who have become loyal customers have contacted us about our delay in sending slaves." Louzen instantly remembered that one of the businesses Frederick had left behind was selling captives turned into enslaved people to conglom
"That's not what I meant, sir. I-" Jackson stuttered, unable to continue for fear that his master would misunderstand him. Jackson's pride seemed to be nothing in front of Louzen. Lazy to hear an explanation that seemed to want to look good in front of him, Louzen raised his hand to signal for silence. "Enough! Don't continue. I don't need any unnecessary explanations. You'd better fix all the reports." "Yes, sir. As you wish." Jackson quickly picked up the pile of documents and left. It wasn't long before Dereck arrived and informed him that his car was ready. Coincidentally, Louzen had also finished his business with Jackson, which made him have to spend a few of his veins arguing. Since the trip this time was to meet the Leader, Louzen went with Dereck and Jackson, who had avoided being forced to follow even though he had just argued with him. Before leaving, Louzen first prepared a folding knife that he got from one of the subordinates on guard at the mansion. He called it by
Dereck and Jackson were entirely surprised by Louzen's answer. From any perspective, the man was just an ordinary son-in-law who happened to be one of the sons-in-law of a noble family. But one thing they could not forget was the implied message from the Leader as if he had been waiting for Louzen's arrival. "Sir, who are you?" Jackson blurted out unconsciously. X didn't expect them to realize so quickly that there was something hidden from him. X was at a loss as to how to answer. He was just a soul formation from another world, whereas Louzen's true soul was probably already wholly dead. It wasn't surprising because they often said it was all due to the role of the Leader who gave them orders. What needs to be questioned is who the leader is. Why is he able to know things that haven't even happened yet? Does his coming to this world have anything to do with the leader? It was a question Louzen had not once or twice thought about, but he had yet to find the answer. "About that-"
"You don't like small talk. Right off the bat, I am Jacob Reid, the interim leader of the DarkShield organization." "Interim leader. What do you mean?!" Louzen repeated the words of Jacob Reid. He is the great Lord, with an awkward feeling. "Well, interim leader. Because the real leader is not me, but you, Lord Dominic Louzen!" Jacob spoke with a severe and stern face. There was no joke on his face like there was earlier. "What the heck! I know you're old, great Lord. But really, your sense of humor is terrible!" commented Louzen as it made no sense. Hey! Remember, this is not the world of fairy tales, comics, or whatever X used to read in his spare time. There are no coincidences in this world. Louzen's emotions seemed to be toyed with by Jacob's absurd answer. Jacob knew it would be like this because the last message Lord Louzen delivered was that he would later lose all memory of this world. He remained patient despite hearing the words about Louzen's disbelief. He then switch
