Venessa was fighting against the law enforcement officers, raiding the underground arena, which was an illegal platform, no matter how it was looked upon.
Syuzia spoke with a grim face: "Mama began speaking with a distorted face: 'Please die, please die. No one else can have you, you are my masterpiece! They will break through the barrier soon! ' She strangled my neck." Syuzia held her neck as if remembering the sensation.
"At that moment, I felt killing intent from Mama for the first time. It was scary, I didn't want to die, but I didn't want to sadden Mama either. But before I knew it, I had pierced a knife into Mama's neck. I really didn't mean to do it! I don't know, My hands moved on their own, feeling the killing intent!"
Syuzia couldn't control herself and almost began screaming in the end. Two trails of tears could be seen falling down her cheeks.
"It's okay. It's okay." Lucas hugged Syuzia, feeling depressed internally. He was by no means a good person, but Venessa, this bitch just pissed him off.
Being comforted for the first time, Syuzia felt a little weird, but she still buried her face into Lucas's chest.
She felt a hand softly caressing her head, Comforting her messed up mind.
Sob-Sob.
The caretaker tried moving near, but Lucas glared at her, signaling her to stay away.
He had gotten such a nice opportunity, how could he let it slip by?
And more than anything, Lucas really wanted to make Syuzia into his daughter and let her experience many more joyful things, before using her for assassination.
After a few minutes, Syuzia stopped crying, at last, having slightly swollen eyes. She felt strange again thinking about Lucas's different reaction compared to others, she felt many times closer to him.
[Ding! Syuzia developed a feeling of closeness to the host, the relationship has deepened by 2 points. Current: 4 (Very friendly)]
[Syuzia female lead aura -25, host's villain aura +25. Obtained 500 villain points.]
'Ah~ I feel like I am in heaven. With this many villain points, it shouldn't be a problem to break through to rank E and buy some useful skills too.' Lucas celebrated internally. He wanted to raise his individual strength before anything else.
Seeing the strength of the protagonist and female lead, he was really left speechless.
What if the protagonist didn't like him and tried to kill him on the spot? It would be disastrous.
Though the chances of this happening were low, as only a few protagonists were evil in the game, harem masters.
The risk remains even then.
Taking out a kerchief, Lucas cleaned Syuzia's face.
"...." Syuzia stared at Lucas, letting him touch her face with no resistance.
Syuzia's face was really like a doll, making her gather a lot of attention. She could easily win over any man if she made up her mind, after growing up that was.
If Lucas were to rate it, it would be 95 out of 100.
Five points low as she was still very young.
'...I have a good idea of how to raise her now.' Lucas smiled involuntarily.
"....Syuzia...My name is Syuzia."
Hearing this, Lucas broke his train of thought and introduced himself: "I am Lucas, nice to meet you."
After a little hesitation, Syuzia opened her mouth: "Why are you treating me so nicely?"
As if waiting for this question, Lucas answered back in a calm and slow voice: "Alright, I will tell you my intentions to meet you."
"Truthfully, in the beginning, I just wanted to get to know more about you and nothing else. But now I have changed my mind. I want to adopt you" Lucas flashed a smile.
"Adopt me...?" Syuzia was aware of the meaning behind the word and she didn't feel it to be a bad thing either.
"Yeah, how about it? Things with your Mama didn't turn out well, but how about trying again with Papa this time?" Lucas felt surprised by his choice of words.
"Papa? Will you be my father?" Syuzia asked with unknown expectations.
"That's right." Lucas patted her head, seeing her not being so unresponsive as before. She cooperated as he patted her head.
[Ding! The relationship between the host and Female lead, Syuzia, has been deepened by 1 point. Current: 5 (Affection/Adoration)]
[Syuzia's female aura -50, host's villain aura +50. Obtained 1000 villain points.]
It was smooth sailing with Syuzia, building a robust relationship that could not be broken easily.
"So? Wanna go home with me?"
The word home tickled Syuzia's heart.
[The host has touched Syuzia's heart. Obtained 200 villain points.]
Silently, Syuzia nodded her head in acceptance. She had not much of a deep connection to the orphanage anyway.
Lucas felt happy seeing things going according to his intentions.
"Okay. You can stay here or in the play zone. I will be back after finishing up the paperwork for adopting you." Lucas got up from the bench.
"Okay...." Syuzia nodded her head, feeling expectations in her heart. It was a newly formed bond, she wanted to get close to her new father.
It was the same feeling when she wanted to make Venessa praise and like her.
Syuzia saw Lucas walk back into the orphanage with the caretaker. She turned to one of the trees, she could feel a presence trying to hide there.
'Papa...must have been ignoring him.' Syuzia adjusted calling Lucas as her father slowly. Whenever she did that, inexplicable emotions rose within her. It was the same fanatic emotion she had towards Venessa.
Human relations were easy to progress once they had reached a certain point. Especially when the relationship was clean.
[Ding! The relationship has progressed by 1 point. Current: 6 (Deep affection)]
[Syuzia's female aura -15, host's villain aura +15. Obtained 300 villain points.]
Lucas received another notification.
Seeing Syuzia looking toward him, Levon walked out from behind the tree.
"What do you want? I told you to get away from me." Syuzia spoke with displeasure clear on her face.
"Are you really going to become his daughter?" Levon spoke from gaps between his teeth. He felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"What does it have to do with you? I can do whatever I want to do." Syuzia spat out even colder words.
"You should reconsider! That guy is not a good person for sure. He will try to harm you in the future!" Levon stated seriously with a worried face.
"So what? It does have nothing to do with you."
Syuzia thought internally: 'If he wants to hurt me, I won't resist anyway. I will do whatever Papa wants me to do.'
It was clear as day, as to how fast her relationship with the protagonist might have progressed if he was able to get to a starting point. Though it would still be slower than Lucas's progress, as the fanatic emotions were awoken very quickly thanks to the father and daughter relationship.
Levon could do nothing seeing Syuzia's unmoved attitude, he instead went to the caretakers. They always hear him because of his apparent immense talent.
