Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Levi wakes up to the silence of the place, the ceilings familiar but not from his home, he sits up, his eyes wandering around trying to regain grasp of what had just happened.

"I see you've decided to wake up" the voice said, low with no hint of emotion in it, though it was not one with an icy tone either. It was like it was void of anything.

"Levi turn looking at the figure that had just spoken, the man sitting before him, crossed legs and holding an article paper. His hair pitch black yet it seemed to shine somewhat under the reflection of the lights of the room, his eyes red, so red that at night you may think it was a wild beast, his skin pale like snow as though with a finger scratch he would bleed out.

His build not a broad one, but not a scrawny one either and yet a had well defined pecks and muscles, that you would think he had been bodybuilding his whole life.

Levi looked at the man before him with not a hint of surprise in it.

"Ah, you don't seem to be surprised by the fact your waking up to the face of a stranger, huh?" 

"Well, lets say your pretty famous but i am shocked as the reason I'm here" Levi said averting his gaze.

Liar, if you were as shocked as you said you heart wouldn't be beating that calmly, Lustre said thinking to himself.

"I see, so then I reckon you know who I am. Supposing it was your mother that hacked my systems three years ago."

Levi pauses as he looked at Lustre the man before him, laughter erupting from his mouth as he clenched onto his stomach.

Lustre watched as the kid in front of him laughed hysterically and it reminded him of the first time Leth had seen him killed a person, although it wasn't the same reaction he showed it was still somewhat relatable.

Wiping the tears that had rolled out his eyes he turn to Lustre

"So what, You want to take me to court or something, Besides i was only four years old so I have no memory of what your saying. and even if you do want to take it to court a kids testimony is invalid."

"And who said I was taking you to court... Although i should be considering it supposing your mother took something that's mine" Lustre said. the silence in the room grew heavy and then

"Stingy..."

"..."

"Your so stingy sir, if you want your ten billion etherans back just say so, why would you plan to take us to court over something so trivial?" he asked

"Have your mother ever told you about your father?"

"No"

"And why is that?"

"Because she doesn't remember duh, she was drugged and that how I came in." he said nonchalantly " If not for that,.... she wouldn't be suffering like this" he added muttering out the last part

Levi hops down from the couch he was seated on and starts to walk towards the door.

"speaking of which I have to head back h..." he stops mid sentence as his head starts feeling woozy, his vision blurring and his hearing becoming difficult to piece together.

"I'm afraid I can't let you Levi, as you can see your mother and I have some LOOSE ENDS TO TIE UP" saying that Levi passes out, Axiver walking in from the shadows.

"Master." he says bowing.

"Axiver, can you see that?"

Axiver raises his head in confusion as he looked at Lustre "What do you mean?"

"He released it... His murderous intent was so strong although it wasn't present for long" he says putting his hand over his face and his skin turns flush red, his eyes gleamed, and his temperature risen "My sons are prodigies, ah... I cant wait to see when they turn full blooded"

Lustre was an odd one even among the pure bloods, no one ever associated with him, he was hot headed and devoid of any emotions but when he did show an emotion his skin would turn flushed red resulting in a rise in temperature and his eyes would gleam with excitement.

The only time that this emotion was ever shown was when he would get so worked up when killing that he would get drenched in blood from the smell of the blood all over him he would smile like a lunatic and his grin would spread all the way to his ears.

HE IS NOTHING BUT A SADIST, that enjoys the pain of others.

The only other time he had shown this emotion was when Young master Leth said his first word as a child.

At this point Axiver had only one thought in mind "THERE WAS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS FAMILY!!" but he dared not say this thought out loud for it would take his life.

"Axiver!" Lustre called out regaining his composure "Where's what I asked you to investigate?" 

"Right here" he said handing over a document to Lustre "

It seems she' was disowned by her family, but they haven't made it public, they might still intend to use her in some way."

Lustre stands up walking eloquently towards the doors.

HOURS LATER

Weeks had passed since riel had last saw Levi, and with each passing day her worry grew more and more and then one day as she was walking back home from the grocery shop. She noticed a black car had parked outside just opposite the street.

At first she tried to ignore it since no one had come out and confronted her but the faster she walked she faster the car drove until, 

The car stopped right in front of her, her mind panicked thinking it was one of the goons from her father.

She wasn't ready for this at least not now that Levi was missing.

she closed her eyes tight bracing herself for what was to come, But instead 

"Are you Sazriel Sapphire?"

What are they asking that? if they are the goons, they wouldn't need to ask for my name.

Riel nodded. her chest beating fast, like crazy fast. The person in front of her opened the seat to the back, nudging her to seat down.
