Chapter 177: Number 40



He was sure that someone was targeting their group, so he decided to talk it out with the godfather.

But seeing his marks, he sighed again. His only relief was that Baldie got lower marks than him.

Instead of going back to the class, Lucian went straight to meet the principal, who was busy having a secretive talk in his office.

KNOCK

After knocking on the door, he stood back and waited for a few seconds. Then, hearing the response from inside, Lucian pushed the door and walked inside.

The office looked quite ordinary, just like the rest of the school.

The principal sat there on his broken chair, his face barely visible above the desk, even with the seat of the chair raised.

"Do you have something to tell me?" The short man asked, he had a smile on his face.

"Yes, actually there was something that I found recently," Lucian said and took out his mobile. He had already asked Echo to collect all the dirt on the principal.

And there was actually a lot: from taking bribes to gambling and even prostitution business, he was involved in a lot of crimes.

It wasn\'t hard to collect all this information, but it was strange that even though he hid his dirty records so messily, he was still not caught.

\'Maybe he is connected to that organization or something. What was it called again… Harmony House,\' Lucian thought, as he showed the screen of his mobile to the principal.

"Hmm, what is it?" Looking at the screen, the principal remained calm for a few seconds before jumping up in surprise.

After he stood on the chair, he was fully visible.

"Where did you get this, and what is your reason behind showing this to me?" the principal asked.

After looking at the video where he was taking bribes, he knew about the existence of these videos as they were kept by his business partners for safety purposes.

After all, he had many of such videos too.

"Ah… It\'s nothing much." After speaking, Lucian paused. Seeing the principal\'s reaction, Lucian was sure that he was right.

Instead of being scared after seeing that video, he had a wild look on his face, as if he was thinking of how to take care of Lucian, and was probably planning to contact someone soon.

"Just don\'t disturb my school life, no matter what happens, or this video will be exposed to everyone, and sir, you know what you will lose if that happens," Lucian said, his face showing no emotion.

Then he placed the mobile back and waited for a response from the principal.

"I understand. I will not interfere in your matters as long as it is not something too out of line, but I am curious, how did you get your hands on something like that?"

Even though he was speaking in a solemn tone, because of his short height and the fact that he was still standing on the chair, it made it look like a joke.

"I just have my ways. You don\'t have to worry about that. Also, don\'t think of doing anything stupid since, even without me, this file will automatically be uploaded online,"

Lucian said, then walked out of the room, leaving silence and tension in the air.

The principal\'s mind immediately began to work as he climbed down the chair and cleaned off his seat before sitting again.

\'He said this video, which means he only got his hands on that one video, and in that video, I had a dealing with that man.

Did he leak it to that boy? No, after all, he has no reason to threaten me, and since this boy threatened me at the end, which means he has no backer.

He is still naive anyway. I need to have a talk, then I will think of dealing with him,\' the principal thought, as he picked his telephone and dialed a number.

Lucian was leisurely walking in the corridor. After appearing on this Earth, he was worried that Velm wouldn\'t be able to come along with him, but much to his relief, there were still two small tattoos on the back of both his hands.

[By doing that, didn\'t you just put yourself in trouble? Even if you hadn\'t done that, you could have achieved your goals, so why?]

\'He is nothing more than a pawn, and I just need to gather some information.

He can\'t do anything to me, after all, he doesn\'t know I am awakened, and all the people have a habit of looking down on others until they get their ass whooped,\'

After saying that, Lucian took his mobile out and asked: "Echo, show me the image of Liam who is related to the principal and tell me his current location."

(He is downstairs right now, walking along with three girls.)

Lucian looked at the image, and soon he saw Liam walking out of the school building. It seemed he was going to some sports club along with a few girls.

As Lucian pointed his hand forward, Velm shot out of one of his fingers like a thin long pipe with a pointy tip.

It hit Liam\'s calf, burying itself a centimeter or two deep before coming back.

Everything happened so fast no one saw it, and Liam didn\'t even notice anything until he fell forward.

Then a wave of pain hit him, and seeing all the blood coming out of his leg, he screamed in horror along with the girls present with him.

Soon their screams attracted the attention of others.

This was already the third such incident in the school. W.O.T. already had such a bad reputation, but if news about all this got out, then no student would come to this school, not even the poor ones.

[Did you do that to stop him from acting in the drama? Again, you didn\'t need to do that but it is font I guess.]

"No, I just needed to create some commotion to make the principal divide his attention between me and this matter, which would give me some extra time," Lucian said, shrugging as if it was no big matter.

[…]

Then, taking out his mobile, he mumbled: "Just as I thought, he is related to the Harmony House, so he is in contact with number 40. Echo, find more information about this.

The principal is going to meet someone from number 40 business. Does it contain awakened too?"

[Yes, there are several awakened. The serial numbers are given based on the strength of that group, like 51 didn\'t have any awakened. And number 40 is controlling a Chasm. Are you going to enter it?]

"Yes, what phase is it?" Lucian asked, walking away from there.

[2nd Phase.]

Zero felt that Lucian\'s behavior was a little strange, and she felt it was because of the Flame of Corruption, which was even more deeply connected to him because of Velm.

"I see, that\'s perfect then. It must already be cleared, so I can go in and out as I please," he mumbled, while looking at the screen of his mobile.

It seemed the principal was going to meet someone immediately.

He must be pretty worried because of that video, since he even called the organization, though he is told not to call anyone since it leaves evidence.

[Are you planning to return home? You haven\'t seen Tess for a few days now.]

"No, my priority is to evolve to the second phase. I can go back later."

After leaving the school, the principal was headed towards a small bar around twenty kilometers away. This was the secret main office of the 40-number group.

Because of the high traffic, it took him longer to reach the bar. After parking his car, the principal walked towards the door of the bar.

It was around three in the afternoon and the bar was closed right now. He knocked on the door a few times, and only then did the door open.

"I have an appointment with the boss. Inform him about it," the principal spoke as he raised his head to look at the tall and burly man.

"Follow me," the burly man said and walked inside, after closing the door.

Not long after the principal had walked inside, a taxi came there, and Lucian walked out of it.

"So this is the 40th group. Guess I\'ll be taking over their Chasm, but before that, I should create some distractions," mumbling, he began to walk towards the door.

All the cameras outside had stopped working because of Echo.

In the next instant, a mask appeared in Lucian\'s hand, and his body was covered by black flames, which made it impossible to see his appearance despite it being bright.

Placing the mask on his face, Lucian stood in front of the door, then he knocked a couple of times.

It was a metal door with a thickness of four to five centimeters, but because of the paint, it looked like a wooden door.

Within seconds, the sound of footsteps could be heard from inside. The same burly man who took the principal inside had come to open the door.

\'Shall we start the purge?\'
