My NTR Harem

The couple was alerted. They knew that this nurse must have heard about Lucian's fortune and was also after it, so they interrupted him.

" No, how can we let someone else take care of you? You don't need her anymore, so pay her the fees and just come to our house. I'll do my best there in taking care of you.

I have heard that with love and care, people get better much faster," Melina spoke, her voice hurried.

" Uh… Okay, aunty, I'll do just that," Lucian replied with a sweet but naive voice, a smile on his face.

Even though Melina had seen him during his childhood, she still found it astonishing how handsome he had become. None of the models or actors could even come close.

But it wasn't his appearance that meant anything to her; she only needed the hidden wealth that Lucian's father had left behind.

" Yes, I really wanted to spend more time with you, and what would be a better chance than this? I'll be able to take care of you once again.

Even if we are currently facing financial problems, I'll do my best to give everything to you," Melina spoke with a dazzling smile.

" Sigh, actually, your brother wanted to come see you, but because of the loan sharks calling him again and again, he wasn't able to come here. Sigh…," Robert sighed twice, making sure that Lucian caught onto his worry.

The so-called brother was busy partying with his friends along with his girlfriend.

He wouldn't give a fuck if anything happened to Lucian; though he wouldn't mind acting a little if it meant he could also obtain some of the money.

" Oh, is it that serious? Even before when I came to meet you, the loan sharks kept calling him. Just how did you get so much debt?" Lucian asked with surprise.

" You shouldn't worry about any of that, just focus on getting better and enjoy my company. You wouldn't mind spending time with your old aunt, would you?" Melina asked with a small pout.

Although she said those words, she was extremely proud of her appearance. She hadn't met a guy, older or younger, who wouldn't turn to glance at her voluptuous body.

" What are you saying, aunty? You look even more beautiful than before. I doubt any actress could compare to you," Lucian spoke.

Hearing his words, Melina felt even more prideful. After all, she was getting praised by a youngster. On top of that, he was so handsome, so she definitely felt happy to be praised like that.

"!!!"

All of a sudden, Lucian felt something change in his body. Just as he had expected, the Fog that he had absorbed in that Chasm had brought him close to the 3rd Phase of evolution.

Normally, even if a person cleared a Chasm of the 2nd phase, he still wouldn't be able to reach the 3rd Phase just like that. Even if he had killed all the beasts, he would still need to go to one more Chasm.

But Lucian's case was special. He had cleared all those bugs inside the Chasm, and the number of the beetle insects grew at an incredible speed—way too fast.

So the amount of Fog on that planet was much higher than any of the other 2nd Phase Chasms.

Absorbing all that Fog not only brought him to the peak of the 2nd Phase, but he was about to break through to the 3rd Phase.

Lucian's expression had suddenly changed to that of surprise, and the two people had clearly noticed it.

" What's wrong? Are you feeling any pain?" Melina asked, caressing his cheek with her soft palm. She was actually worried since it wouldn't be good if he died before they had taken his money.

Knowing Lucian, he must have already made the arrangements so that his money went into some charity after his death.

Before, he was just too innocent and held this thought, so Melina was worried that this still might be the case.

" I- It's nothing. I am feeling a little dizzy because of the medication, so I'm going to sleep. I'll come on my own to meet you tomorrow," Lucian replied, forcing a smile on his face.

Melina and Robert heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. They didn't think too much about it. Robert wasn't speaking much and allowed Melina to do the talking.

The bond she and Lucian seemed to share was quite close, so this beautiful woman was more suitable for this job.

" Then we will be leaving for now. Tell me if there is any problem," Melina spoke, with soft eyes.

" Yes, aunty. Goodbye," Lucian said. He just wanted them both to leave the room for now.

" Take care, son," Robert spoke, patting Lucian's shoulder as he walked out of the room.

Melina gave a small hug to Lucian before leaving the room. The couple was happy that they hadn't lost any progress. When he wasn't picking their calls, they thought that their plan might have failed.

Just as the two of them had walked away from the room, discussing their plans in a low voice that was clearly heard by Lucian, he stood up and locked the door from inside.

The moment he sat back on the bed, Fog burst out of his body and enveloped him. It was much more intense than the previous two times, to the point that it was affecting the atmosphere around him.

Lucian was in a trance-like state. It was like he was asleep, but at the same time, he could clearly feel everything happening around him.

His bones, skin, organs, flesh, and every cell of his body were filled with this foreign substance that gave a warm feeling, though the heat slowly kept increasing to the point that Lucian soon felt as if his body was burning.

On his wrist, Zero was in kind of a similar state. Fog surrounded the bracelet, and she had no consciousness of her state.

Just a few minutes had passed when suddenly the flames of Corruption covered him completely, blending in with the Fog.

If seen from the side, it would seem like Lucian was burning by that black flame, which looked eerily haunting.

The room was silent yet filled with an intense pressure.

Not long after the flames of Corruption had been released out of his body, the red Velm burst forth and began to revolve around his body, transforming into a bloody cocoon.

The red cocoon had black tattoos all over it, and those tattoos now seemed to be filled with tiny black dots, which looked as if they were moving over the surface.

Seconds passed. Minutes passed. The bedsheet and the mattress had started to rot away as if they were hundreds of years old.

Slowly, the blanket disappeared completely until nothing was left, while the mattress was in such a bad shape that barely anything was left of it.

Even the bed had started to age up, its wood slowly rotting away. Not knowing anything about his surroundings, Lucian continued to slumber inside the bloody cocoon that was surrounded by the black flames.

Normally, when a person advances to the next phase, their physical bodies grow stronger, and even their abilities strengthen, but what was happening with Lucian was completely different from the norms.

...

When Lucian opened his eyes, the Fog, the flames, and Velm had completely disappeared from around his surroundings.

He found himself seated on the floor. There was a large hole at the center of the bed, and barely the boundary was left.

At the place where he was sitting, even the floor seemed to have thinned by quite a bit.

" Hey, Zero, what happened while I was unconscious?" Lucian asked but didn't receive any answer. After a few seconds, a few words appeared in his mind.

[ This might have been because of the flames of Corruption, but I am not sure since I too was unconscious for some reason. ]

Lucian clenched his fist. He could feel that his strength and speed had increased once again.

He had long since surpassed human limits. With his current strength, only a few of humanity's weapons would be able to kill him.

' I need to check what kind of other changes have occurred in my body, but I don't think this is the right place,' he thought as he looked around at the poor condition the room was in.

The bed was barely existing. A few of the things in the surroundings had started to look different from the time when Lucian had come into the room.

And the floor where he was sitting just moments ago—Lucian felt that it might break if a grown man jumped over it once.

" It's a good thing that I can carry my clothes in that space; otherwise, I would have been forced to wear the robes or blanket," Lucian said as he glanced down at his own body.

Even his own clothes had completely disappeared without a trace.

Quickly wearing a different set of clothes, he walked out of there. The hotel staff is definitely going to be quite shocked once they see the condition of the room.

But it would be impossible for them to find who had stayed there since Echo was the one to book the room, and she hadn't used Lucian's identity to book it.

And Echo could easily mess up with the cameras in the hotel, so it is just impossible for them to find the culprit.

Lucian took out his car from the parking lot and headed straight back home. Now he would just spend some peaceful time with his family.
