My NTR Harem

'Family, huh… I wonder how Jasmine and my lonely mom are, not that much time would have passed there.

Also, I don't know where my other mother is on this planet. I never tried to find her in my past life, but her name often appeared in the news,' Lucian thought while driving the car.

There was a time when he did feel sad that his mother had just left him to rot in that hellhole.

Even after his father died and his uncles had taken everything away, she never once came to see him.

The longing he felt for her soon turned into hate. He hated her more than anyone else yet allowed her to live her life as she wished.

He had spared her once, but now Lucian planned to make her regret her decision and take everything she holds dear away from her.

While he was midway, Lucian stopped the car to the side and decided to first test his ability. He wouldn't want to hurt Tess or Angelina by accident.

He drove the car to a relatively empty area, and once he made sure that no one was around, Lucian finally stopped the car.

"Let's see what are the things that have changed." After getting out of the car, he stretched his body for a moment.

Then he looked at a pole standing a few hundred meters away from him. In the next moment, Lucian shot towards it as he strained all his muscles while holding his breath.

The sound of air being torn rang. He was running faster than ever; within seconds, he arrived ahead of the pole.

"Hmmm, not bad. Let's see how much my strength has grown." He walked back to the pole.

Then, extending one of his hands, he squeezed the metallic pole, and with just a little strength, he was able to leave a deep dent in it leaving the shape of all his fingers.

Then he walked towards a nearby tree and punched it with enough force to pull it out of the ground as it fell to the side with a loud thud.

"I wonder if there is some kind of decaying effect to the flames, and is there something that changed in Velm?" Lucian mumbled. First, he pointed his hand towards the fallen tree and willed for Velm to shoot towards it.

The red tentacle moved towards the tree at a speed even faster than before. Even Velm had evolved into the next level, it looked blood red and the tattoos looked more refined now.

It wrapped around the tree in an instant, and with just a light squeeze, a crackling sound rang out in the silent surrounding.

Lucian stayed still for a moment. Then he thought of moving the dots that had appeared over Velm.

And much to his surprise, a thin layer of the red Velm covered the surface of the tree. Then the dots moved; soon, they looked like those beetles that had threatened Lucian's life not too long ago.

The insects began to eat the tree at a speed a lot faster than the ones in that chasm. As they ate, the insects kept multiplying until they had covered the entire surface of the tree.

Within a second, almost the entire tree was swallowed. Lucian hastily stopped the beetle insects that made a dot pattern over the tree.

The insects stopped instantly and came back over Velm before it was pulled back.

He stared down at the tree; less than a quarter of the tree was left.

These insects weren't at the 3rd phase but were much stronger than the ones he had seen. If these things were to attach to him, they would be able to devour his body within a few seconds.

"This is dangerous. If I somehow lose control of these beetles, then who knows what kind of destruction they would cause. I have to be careful with them for now."

Lucian mumbled. Getting away from these insects is next to impossible, and there are no volcano boars in this world who can reduce their numbers.

"So these dots weren't responsible for that decaying effect in the room, so it was those flames after all," Lucian pondered. Finally, he decided to use the flames of corruption on the remains of the tree.

He bent down and touched whatever remained of the once large tree. Black flames burst out of it and swallowed the entire tree.

At first, nothing happened, and it seemed just like before, so Lucian thought only the slowing effect was added to it.

Then he thought about that decaying effect once again and ordered the flames to do it, and somehow, it worked.

The more than a meter tall tree instantly began to rot away as if time was passing extremely fast for it, and soon, within just a couple of minutes, the tree had completely disappeared.

"So Velm and the flames have both changed. Hmmm, both of them are dangerous changes, ones that, if I lose control of, would end up killing quite a lot of people.

I have to learn to properly control them," Lucian finally decided to leave. But then he decided to test something else. Raising his right arm, he swung it horizontally and ordered Velm to shoot the red dots towards the couple of trees standing in front of him.

He wasn't sure if it would work or if the beetle insects could only remain attached to Velm. Under his concentrated gaze, several tiny insects flew towards a couple of trees like small bullets. Then a familiar scene took place.

Within seconds, the trees were completely covered by the tiny insects, and it didn't take long for them to devour the entire tree.

This time, Lucian didn't stop them and allowed them to just eat everything. After they ate the tree, the insects began to devour the grass around the tree. After they had removed everything from the surrounding, most of the insects fell to the ground.

Lucian waited to observe if these insects would also disappear after staying in contact with the ground for a while with nothing to eat. But instead, the insects remained alive, though their glow kept on decreasing.

Once the black had become lighter, the insects began to disappear. It took over five minutes for them all to disappear. Even when the insects were away from Velm, Lucian was still able to control them with his mind.

"At least these insects are obeying my commands. For now, I need to observe them more. If I can really control them, then they would greatly increase my battle process."

Once he was satisfied with his experiments, Lucian sat in his car and drove away, leaving a few of the insects over the trees to see if he could control them and sense their presence even from a long distance.

After traveling a kilometer or so, Lucian could barely feel the presence of those beetle insects. They were only slowly eating away at the tree, so their numbers weren't increasing, and they wouldn't affect the tree much.

Lucian gave them the order to stop, but only half of them actually stopped, while a few continued to slowly eat away at the wood. Lucian got the results he wanted, so he just ordered all the insects to disappear.

After making sure he couldn't feel the presence of any of them, Lucian increased the speed of his car and headed back home.

'I should get a car of my own. This is enough of a punishment for that couple, and they have already lost most of their money, so I doubt they would be able to pay for the installments,' Lucian thought and decided to buy a new car soon. The money that his song was raising just from the ad revenue was huge.

Most people were listening to Broken again and again until they had memorized each and every word. All the people were talking about this song, and even the news talked about it.

A lot of people were actually rallying on the roads. Some wished to see the secretive Gold, while others wanted the song Broken to become something greater.

All in all, Lucian was receiving a lot of revenue, though he would only receive it after the month ends.

After some time, he arrived at his home. On the way, he had bought a cake for Tess and a few snacks. So as soon as Lucian entered the house, the little cute panda-like girl crashed into him and hugged his legs.

"Bruther, there was a gwest," Tess spoke, a big beautiful smile plastered on her face.

"Guests?" Lucian asked. Then he turned his gaze towards Angelina, who stood not too far away from him.

"Yes, there were two men who came here earlier. One of the men came to talk while the other stood back. They were here for the promotion of some school. Maybe they came here for Tess, but I just declined," Angelina explained.

Lucian patted her head while holding the bags of snacks and cake in his hand. He wondered if it was just someone advertising the school or if it was something dangerous.

"Let's go inside. Tess, I brought your favorite cake for you." While speaking, he pointed towards the chocolate cake.

Tess's eyes sparkled as a big smile blossomed on her face. She was overwhelmed by the happiness and didn't know what to do, so she just kept hugging his leg.

Lucian and Angelina walked into the dining area, and all three of them ate the cake together.
