YM778.TV Chapter 196: Disappeared
He kept dialling a number but to no avail, it was just turned off.
Robert\'s expression kept changing from confusion to anger to desperation; he had already called Lucian over a hundred times.
" I don\'t think we made any mistake during our meal, so why had he turned his mobile off? Did he catch onto something or was he just checking our behaviour?" Robert chewed on his nails in frustration, as he just kept calling Lucian.
" Stop calling him, it won\'t change anything. Maybe something happened to his mobile, we should wait for some more time maybe he will contact us on his own."
Melina spoke, but she too was feeling the tension, Lucian was their key to money after all.
" It\'s already been a week and there is no sign of him, I even went to his school and tried asking around but no one even knew his exact location.
I saw the old house he rented but he had already left that house some time ago, should I go to the police?" Robert said, glancing at his wife.
" Calm down for now, based on my interactions with him at that time I am sure he trusts us completely, so it\'s not like he only blocked us, we will just wait for him to call us on his own." Melina spoke.
Leo was sitting there and playing a game on his mobile, he too wanted the money but didn\'t want to act all happy and close toward Lucian, so he just watched his parents do everything.
" Yes, Lucian has a lot of money and you are the one whom he trusts and loves the most, so when we meet him again make sure to shower all your love on him, be closer to him than even a real mother could be to their son.
You have to do better than your best, no matter what, just make him happy even if you have to spend some money or curse your own son, only if you succeed can we get all his money.
This all depends on you, so you can\'t mess up, just do anything." Robert spoke, his gaze seemed almost crazy as he looked at her beautiful face.
" Yes I understand, I\'ll treat him better than I have ever treated anyone, make him feel the love that he missed and become the mother he would do anything for." Melina replied, many ideas brewing in her head.
Leo watched the exchange between his parents, which almost seemed like a scene from a movie, shaking his head he closed the game and decided to message his girlfriend.
...
There were a few more people who were worried about Lucian\'s absence, like Tess, Angelina, Perv, and a few others.
Like these people, a beautiful girl was also worried as she paced inside the drama club room while looking at her mobile.
" Where did he disappear off to, when the drama is going to be very soon? I haven\'t heard from him for an entire week, he isn\'t even coming to school or attending classes."
Ava\'s brows were creased as she paced around the room, feeling angry and lost.
" Do you think we should get someone to replace him in the drama?" the Director, who was standing along with the rest of the group, asked.
" Tch. Where are we going to find an actor like him in this school? I have seen how all the others act, currently he is the only choice, I don\'t want to say this but his acting was perfect."
Ava replied, the drama would be a failure without the main lead.
" Still, we need to have a backup in case he doesn\'t return until the competition starts, ughh, he was even going to give quite a lot of money, how are we going to do now since we have already used all our budget for the previous drama.
We can\'t even afford the costumes now." The Director sighed, and the rest of the members lost all their motivation.
" Just where are you?" Ava mumbled, she can even endure those intimate scenes if he can return.

Back to present time inside the
Chasm
,
The sound of wings flapping reverberated in the empty sky, as a large bird chased after a human.
Lucian didn\'t even get to take a proper look at the bird chasing him before he was forced into a dangerous situation.
It was difficult to know the structure of the bird since it was only bones, and all of it was covered by black insects, which made it harder to see in the dark.
Even the large wing of the bird was made of these tiny insects, the amount of beetles in that skeleton was astronomical.
If Lucian were to even touch it, then his Velm Armor would be completely surrounded by them.
\' It is faster than me, so running away like this is impossible, so how can I get away from it?\' Lucian wondered, he could feel the giant bird slowly catching up to him.
Gritting his teeth, Lucian increased the size of his wings and made the flip harder and faster, giving him a strong boost forward.
Then he finally turned his head to look back at the deadly creature.
It almost looked like the skeleton of a dinosaur, with two large wings. Its teeth and claws looked frightening, even more so because of the tiny insects.
\' There has to be some kind of weakness to it, as long as I can stop it I will be fine.\'

Lucian tried to calm his mind even in this dangerous situation, as he carefully observed the body of the skeleton before turning his head back forward.
The distance between the two of them was decreasing constantly, and when it was only around fifteen meters, Lucian could clearly hear the crackling sound of the bones and a loud buzzing of the countless insects.
The large bird opened its jaws wide, trying to take a bite off of his flesh. The beetle insects were making it copy the movement of the actual beast.
Lucian suddenly turned his body around, flying backwards with his left arm raised, pointed towards the approaching creature.
None of his attacks would have any effect on the insects, and he wasn\'t sure just how sturdy the bones were, but for now, his only chance at stopping the creature was to tear its wings off.
He focused his gaze at the point where the wings were attached. The wings were attached a bit awkwardly but were held there just by the insects and were barely connected.
As the creature inched closer, Lucian aimed at the joint of the first wing, ready to shoot sharp blades made of Velm.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
Without pausing, he shot one shot after another. A few of them missed because of the strong wind and the movements of the bird, hitting that exact point was quite difficult.
But while shooting one shot after another, a couple of blades actually hit the joint of the bone.
As the blades hit the black surface of the bones, the insects were pushed aside and ground, but instead of dying, they broke into smaller insects but still needed a few seconds to cover the exposed part of the bone again.
The blades struck the bones and almost broke it into two, but because of the insects still covering the surface, he wasn\'t able to break off the wing.
Lucian clicked his tongue; the bird had gotten too close to him, and its head was about to collide with him, and the small part on the joint of the wing was covered back.
Lucian suddenly retracted his wing and stopped moving as his body began to fall, and he barely dodged the attack.
These insects seemed to possess quite high intelligence, as it failed to strike him, a thick black liquid-like substance began to fall towards him, which contained thousands of insects.
After throwing groups of insects flying towards Lucian, the bird flapped its wings hard and launched itself towards him, but now the cracking sound from one of its wings was loud as if it was barely hanging on.
\' Why is this thing so persistent, with that many insects they will barely get anything to eat, are these insects really at the 2nd phase?\' Lucian thought.
