BXBX NOVEL Chapter 204: The kid
" H- Hey wait, I know you saw me too. Please stop the car, I have to talk to your- ughhh." The short man ran towards the car with all his might, since they were going in opposite directions, so he arrived near the car within seconds. Continue your adventure with M-V-L
The short man jumped towards the side of the car with both his arms stretched. He wanted Lucian to stop and give his car back, even if he had to throw himself in front of the car like this.
But what he didn\'t expect was that not only did Lucian not stop the car, he instead increased the speed.
The short man, seeing this, jumped away but unfortunately he wasn\'t fast enough. The side of the car hit his leg as a crackling sound rang out.
He fell on the ground and began to groan in pain. His leg wasn\'t broken, but with that level of injury, he wouldn\'t be able to walk for quite some time.
The crowd gathered around him and called an ambulance.
The people who had seen the entire incident thought he was trying to commit suicide by jumping in front of the car, so they called a car for him.
[ I- I think you just bumped into him. ]
" He will be fine, he is rich after all." Lucian averted his gaze and looked at his destination on the map. It was the place where Echo had booked a room for him, and he had already sent this address to his uncle.
After a few minutes, he arrived at his destination without any more incidents happening. Taking the keys for his room, he went directly towards it.
After entering, Lucian changed into more loose clothes that would make him look more like a patient. Then he lay on the bed and began to look at his mobile to pass some time.
He checked the performance of Broken and, as he had expected, it broke his expectations again.
Aside from that, there wasn\'t any big news. After looking at a few things over the internet, Lucian spoke to himself:
" There are several companies which are yet to make it big, so investing a lot of money in them is definitely going to make me a lot of profit. Then there are a few lands that I need to buy, hmmm, all of this needs a lot of money."
Although the amount of money in his possession was increasing, it was still nowhere near enough. His company would make a lot of money, but there was still some time before that.
So for now, only his song was earning him money, but since there was still time, he wasn\'t in a hurry.
" There were many novels in my previous life that gained a lot of popularity. I had read some of them since I was planning the story of my game at that time.
Maybe I can release those novels later on." He decided. After all, those novels were sure to earn him a lot of money and popularity.
He could even change a few things that the readers didn\'t like in the story. That would turn them all into an even better masterpiece.
" Zero, be ready. You\'ll soon be very busy." Lucian spoke, looking at the bracelet on his wrist.
He still needed to throw Zero into the washing machine as a punishment for bringing him into that dangerous chasm.
DING
The doorbell rang, announcing the arrival of two people who were carrying several bags in their hands.
" The door isn\'t locked, you can enter." Lucian spoke, as he covered himself with a blanket and began to act weak.
Though he couldn\'t make his body look weak even if he wanted to because Velm would always keep him in his peak condition.
With a clicking sound, the door opened. Two worried people walked into the room. Melina and Robert looked around the room first, then they quickly walked towards Lucian, who lay weakly on the bed.
" Lucian, what happened to you? Why do you look so weak? What kind of accident was it?" Robert was the first to speak, as he placed all the bags to the side of the bed.
A tear could be seen coming out of Melina\'s eyes. She too placed the bags and sat on the bed beside Lucian, looking at him with worry.
Looking at them calmly, Lucian replied:
" I was driving one of my cars and suddenly a little boy jumped in front of my car, so I turned the car to the other side and it hit a pole.
Although there weren\'t any external injuries, the doctors had advised me to wait and look out for any symptoms of internal injuries, and they had run a few tests but the results are yet to come out." Lucian explained slowly, as if even talking was giving him a headache.
" Thank God, it wasn\'t anything too serious. And I am sure the test results won\'t show any problem either. Sigh, you don\'t know how relieved I am." Melina spoke, wiping away her tears.
" You are such a good boy. You have always been like that. Even risking your own life to save the life of a kid.
Truly, I am happy to be related to you. That kid was fine too, right?" Robert spoke with a kind smile on his face.
" Huh? No, I was just startled. I stuck the kid and used him as a cushion against the pole, otherwise my car would have been badly damaged instead of just getting a few scratches, and I too would have sustained heavy injuries.
As for that kid, he might have died on the spot, but it was the kid\'s fault so it was only declared an accident and I don\'t have to take responsibility."
As Lucian spoke, the expression of the two people got more and more strange. They looked at him as if they were looking at an alien.
" Haha, you are joking right?" Robert asked, a forced smile on his face.
" No, why would I be joking? It\'s the truth. If you want, you can still see the flesh of the kid sticking to the pole-" Lucian cleared up the doubts.
" T- That\'s... It\'s fine as long as you are alright." Melina interrupted, as she held his hand gently.
The two of them glanced at each other awkwardly. They hadn\'t expected something like that.
" So, is there anyone taking care of you here?" Robert asked, while the kind aunt continued to gaze at him with a smile.
" Yes, a nurse from the hospital is taking care of me. She is very nice and when I told her a little about my family\'s condition, she got really worried and is doing her best-" Lucian began to speak with an expression showing that he was mesmerized by that wretched nurse.
