Chapter 12: A motherfuc-
" So there are other people who have come here just like me? Then why did you choose me, if you had other choices? " Lucian asked.
[ Yes there were and the reason I chose is because I have never seen someone as hardworking, petty, intelligent, scum and dedicated as you. I have been watching you for a few years. Also, not all the people who have come here are from your Earth. ]
" Uh... Thank you? But why were your compliments so mixed up, I think you added a few unnecessary words in between. " Lucian spoke.
[ Enough about all that, since we are already on this side of the mountain how about we collect a few herbs, I'll help you make a potion that you will definitely love. ]
" Alright we should do that, also I want to create another type of potion that I may need very soon in the future. "
[ Sure just tell me what kind of potion you have in mind. I'll tell you if the material required are here or not, and after you collect all the ingredients, I will create both of the potions for you. ]
" Alright it's a potion that could weaken a person greatly something similar to temporary paralysis, anyway why do I feel like I am walking in circles, are you sure you are showing the right direction? " Lucian questioned.
[...]

After walking around for a while, Lucian was finally able to collect all the herbs that Zero told him about. It was much easier since Zero gave him the positions of all of them, and then he asked:
" So how am I supposed to create that amazing potion with these ingredients, do I need to brew all these in a pot like a witch? "
[ No, I will create that potion for you. Heh, don't you know I have the spatial ability and I can also create such things, but I'll need some time. ]
Then all the ingredients disappeared from his grasp, Lucian was feeling tired already.
He wondered when the herb would start working, after resting for a bit, he climbed down the mountain and then began to walk towards the company.
" That's the only place I can go back to for now, also I would need help to gather all the ingredients for the mind strengthening pill or whatever it is. Not to mention the spies that always follow me around, sigh. " Lucian mumbled to himself.
It was already around five in the afternoon, Lucian walked into the company building and then went into the lift, he directly went into his room and fell onto the bed, feeling an ache all over his body.
[ You did great, from the morning till now you avoided death a total of twenty one times, that's a great start. ]
"..."
Lucian just closed his eyes, there was no use thinking about any of this but he was happy that he was able to finish one thing from his bucket list. Though there were still a lot of things that he wanted to do, after all, it took him years to create the list.
" Give me the names of all the herbs that you need to create that mind strengthening pill, I'll find a way to gather them. " Lucian said and instantly several words came into his mind.
Zero was still in the form of the bracelet, and aside from her there was one ring on his finger too, which was probably a sign of his marriage.
[ By the way, why did you assume that I am female, I never indicated anything related to my gender ]
" Because you have good handwriting. "
***
After resting a bit longer in his room, Lucian finally decided to visit the woman who literally owns him and is also his wife, though he still had not agreed to this relationship.
' Hey Zero what kind of woman is she? ' he asked, even though he may not have accepted the relationship yet but they are husband and wife currently. And since his life is in danger here, so he needs to understand her personality a little.
[ She is cold, aloof, extremely strong, rich, arrogant, cruel, intelligent, possessive and the list just goes on. Also, on this Earth, there are only a few women who could even be compared to her in terms of beauty and strength. Even Scarlett is nothing in front of her. ]
" Why did she even marry me? I don't think with all those personality traits she could ever love someone.
And what type of attitude do I need to have towards her, so that I appear normal to her? " Lucian questioned, he walked out of the elevator and began to walk towards her office.
[ Your looks definitely played a big role. Though it was just enough to attract her towards you. Then she observed you for some time and finally bought you from your father.
Also, the you from before didn't like her. He acted cold towards her, so you need to act like a tsundere, but he actually didn't like her since he liked someone else, and your sugar mommy separated him from his first love. ]
" Oh?!! Who was it, the woman whom he loved? " Lucian asked and stood outside the office's door.
[ It was his own mother, though the feelings were just one sided since your mother had no idea about it, but the father noticed it and so he sold you without letting your mother know ]
" What? So the previous me was a motherfucker? " Lucian exclaimed but Zero corrected him.
[ No, since he was not able to get close to her. ]
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
After knocking on the door Lucian stood back, but now he remembered that he didn't even know the name of his supposed wife, so he asked: ' By the way, what's the name of the woman inside this office? '
[ Ha So you are still not accepting that she is your wife, haa anyway her name is- ]
While Lucian was reading the text in his head, the door to the room suddenly opened and a hand came which pulled him inside, by holding his collar.
