For the entire week, Lucius stayed indoors and practiced his Statue martial arts in silence. During that time, he had no contact with Lia or anyone else and honestly, it seemed like she didn't want to speak with him either. She would always eat earlier or later than the usual time, successfully avoiding Lucius.
However, Lucius didn't really care and never made any attempt to reach out. He knew she would stay because she needed him and as long as she played her role as his support, nothing else mattered.
A personal relationship was unnecessary.
During this time, he would get an update from his old butler, Mr Wilson. A man whose family was slaughtered by a gang in the residential district, barely only surviving after Lucius arrived and killed them. The old man decided to dedicate his life to serving Lucius from that day
Mr Wilson was a dark-skinned man with gray hair, dressed in a butler suit and a monocle in his left eye
