FVN Chapter 3 Lucian's Shocking Race
Chapter 3 Lucian's Shocking Race
Just like those popular, yet equally trashy copycat Web Novels that Lucian loved reading, Runic Symbols materialized within his mind, soon weaving into a status screen. Thankfully because of Wang Chen's memories, Lucian understood this world's language - Arcadian.

A minute later, Lucian saw the signs of his Incubus blood taking effect. Pink mist rose from the unconscious assassin's body.
The smell was intoxicating. Had Lucian not been an Incubus, he would have been charmed, and down unspeakable things, which he would rather not dwell on.
Just the thought of that caused goosebumps.
Another minute later, the pink mist dissipated, and on the assassin's forehead was now a pink heart tattoo, signifying that the process succeeded.
Because Lucian's bloodline was too weak, the process took longer, otherwise, it would have finished instantly.
[Congratulations host on acquiring your first Servant!]
The System's emotionless, robotic voice sounded out in Lucian's mind.
Lucian indifferently nodded and kicked the assassin's abdomen.
"ARGHH!" The assassin clenched his aching abdomen while screaming in pain.
Lucian frowned and said, "Shut up." Immediately, the assassin stiffened and bit his lips, causing blood to drip down his chin.
Lucian had forgotten that even though he was not a Mage, a Dragon's body was terrifyingly strong.
"Mmphh!" Muffled screams leaked out of the assassin's closed mouth.
While the assassin screamed, Lucian indifferently watched. The assassin was a mere stranger, him feeling pain would not cause his expression to change in the slightest. And on top of that, a few minutes ago, the assassin tried to kill him.
After a while, the assassin finally stopped screaming, stood up, and respectfully bowed, "Master, please forgive your slave for his transgressions."
Lucian indifferently looked at the bowing assassin and said with a dismissive wave, "I don't have time to care about punishing you. If you're into BDSM, you can slap and punch yourself later. For now, answer my questions."
While still bowing, the assassin respectfully replied, "If that is what the Master desires, I will answer to the best of my ability."
"What is your name?"
"Master, this humble slave goes by the code name 060."
"Who asked you to assassinate me?"
"It was the Master's father, Wang Ming. Three days ago, the Clan Head ordered me to assassinate his son and to make it look as though his son had committed suicide."
When Lucian heard Wang Chen's father wanted his son's death to appear as though he committed suicide, his indifferent face changed to a cunning smile.
Originally, Lucian intended to use a Slave Spell to enslave the assassin and a Doppelganger Spell to create an exact replica of his body to show Wang Ming that his son had truly died. Unfortunately, without mana, that plan was not possible.
Then, when Lucian learned his Race was part Incubus, he planned to enslave the assassin and then order the assassin to bring back news that Wang Chen had died. However, that plan might still leave suspicion within Wang Ming, but who would have thought that Wang Ming had created the perfect foolproof plan for Lucian?
From Wang Chen's memories, Lucian knew that Wang Chen was traveling back to Harmony City where the Wang Family mansion was located from Fire Cloud City. The purpose of his travel to Fire Cloud City was unimportant. It was simply to get some fresh air.
The trip was smooth, and Wang Chen had gotten his much-needed rest and fresh air, and was traveling back when a black-robed assassin attacked his carriage and killed his guards. While the assassin was busy slaughtering the guards, Wang Chen managed to escape into the Moon Grove Forest.
After running for a few minutes, just as Wang Chen had thought he managed to escape from the assassin, the assassin mysteriously showed up.
As for what happened after, Lucian experienced it himself.
Lucian looked at the average-looking middle-aged man in the face and smiled, "Did you properly take care of the bodies and carriage?"
The assassin respectfully nodded and replied, "Yes, Master. As a trained assassin, I always make sure I clean everything up before leaving. Not even a drop of blood or splinter of wood remains on the road."
Lucian nodded and indifferently ordered while pointing at a nearby clearing, "Make this area here seem like a battle occurred. With Wang Chen's strength or the lack of, you won't have much to do."
The assassin bowed deeply once again as he said, "As you command, Master. I shall ensure that it is done to your satisfaction."
