Chapter 62 62. Xander's Flaw
?
But soon Lucius quickly realised that instead of cursing Landon he should curse the wretched god that made him that way.
What is he doing here? Is the world trying to correct some key events or something?
Lucius didn't know what was going on, but he soon calmed down.
He would not lie. When he first saw Alice walk in with Landon he was a little panicked.
It couldn't be helped, at this point, it was an occupational hazard.
Just like a thief would look at people through the lens of a thieving bastard.
An NTRing bastard would also look at people through the eyes of a wife stealer. Not to mention that this was the protagonist and she was actually meant to be his girl.
Lucius panicked a little but after looking at things from a logical perspective, Lucius calmed down.
Things like "love at first sight" were simply a fart.
After all, such things were primarily based on looks and Lucius believed that his looks could match Landon in every regard.
In addition to this when Lucius looked at Landon and Alice he saw no romantic or other feelings, just the pure look of friends.
These past few days, Lucius had been working overtime gathering Love Points and raising the favorability of Alice.
Although her favorability was not to the point of love and like, it was not too far off of it.
If after all that, all it took was one meeting with Landon to wipe her affection for Lucius off the map then, Alice was never the one in his first place and Lucius would stop wasting his time.
Right now it was a dog eat div world so he could only sacrifice Landon's happiness for the sake of his own
If he ever had a son, he would name it Landon in honour of the man's sacrifice
No.
What if the name Landon had magical powers and ended up attracting the heroine all over again
Wouldn't he just end up getting NTRd by his own son?
Such a fate was too abominable!
On second thought, the name Landon will have to be outlawed for the rest of his life.
Sigh…
It seemed like he could only remember the names Landon in his heart
'What's with this guy?' thought Landon
That same look of pity again?
'Does this guy know me or something?'
Landon felt that someone who could look at someone like that was a good person so his impression of Lucius went up slightly, but if he could read his thoughts, then he would definitely punch Lucius's teeth in.
But Landon could never know this so instead spoke to Lucius with a smile.
"Your name's Lucius, right? I watched your fight earlier this morning and it was impressive. Despite not having as advanced technique you still beat Xander pretty badly, showing that your combat sense is high!"
Hearing this, Lucius just smile
"Hahaha! Being complemented by the famous 'record breaker' makes me a little flattered. But I doubt it is worth much in front of someone like you. It's still amazing how you could go toe to toe with the instructor."
Lucius didn't care much about what he would have to do in the future, so at least for now he was fine exchange
As the group was chatting and getting closer to each other.
Not too far away, a man with green hair was watching the group with an unpleasant smile on his face.
Eventually, Xander couldn't take it anymore! He put down his fork with an unpleasant expression on his face.
His appetite was completely soured.
In front of him was a perfectly cooked steak, one of his favourite meals, yet he simply couldn't bring himself to eat it.
All around him was the chatter of his failed duel and humiliating defeat.
The shame of gossip and the fact that he lost to a commoner made him both sick to his stomach and enraged. It took almost all his mental strength to not bring forth a storm and tear this place to shreds.
"Such a fucking ugly commoner has brought me this much shame. We should obliterate him."
"Sure, we can do that," said Veronica
"but calling him ugly is a bit…"
"Hm? What do you mean??" Asked Xander
"I mean, he may be a commoner, but he certainly wasn't ugly."
Hearing this, Xander instantly felt furious.
Xander wasn't ugly at all and could even be considered quite handsome, but the problem was he was being compared to Landon, the main protagonist, and Lucius, one of the end-game bosses.
It was a losing battle from the get go.
Veronica could quickly sense Xander's bad mood and interjected
"It was just a joke, besides you're much better looking, anyway."
Although Veronica knew her words were a lie she was still satisfied with her fiancé's looks. They could still be considered top notch.
And besides his looks, he still had a top notch background as well as talent.
But this still wasn't enough to calm down Xander who still had an ugly expression on his face as he glared at Veronica.
If Lucius was here he would have jumped up for joy!
Yes! Yes! Keep pushing away the heroine and make it easier for me to steal her away from you!
This was Xander's horrible character trait and what made it possible for the protagonist to steal his girl in the novel?
This guy was a dirt bag that liked it to take out his frustration in the people around him
It was fine before. He was the son of the count. He could do anything to his servants and they couldn't complain
Even if he farted in their face, they could only say it smelled like roses.
There was no such thing as equal rights!
The crazy was this wasn't his servant, it was his fiancé!
Fortunately for Lucius, Xander didn't say anything wrong with that.
As nobles supremacists, He believed that nobles were superior to commoners in every aspect and even nobles had ranks between them.
