Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 334

Chapter 334

When the couple returned to Earth, the first thing they did was check on Saly, who was, once again, forced to go to school to learn basic knowledge and properly grow up . Arthur didn’t see why Lucy insisted about sending their daughter to school but he didn’t object and remained silent . Perhaps she sees the earthly knowledge as something useful Saly could use when she grows up .

Once they were done with that matter, they headed to the gloomy and cold cave where Claudia’s bastard son and the doctor were .

It has only been a short while since they were kidnapped but it became apparent how mentally tired and hungry they were, especially the young man, who wasn’t as patient and tolerant as the old man .

In the time they were left alone, they conversed about many things but still couldn’t find a relation between the two of them except that the doctor knows of the youth’s mother, though they weren’t particularly close .

No matter how much they tried, the couldn’t shake off the thick chains around their limbs . There was the motionless Death knight which never lifted a finger and merely guarded the entrance of the cave .

When the undead moved at last, not only did it alert the two captives, it also scared them as they thought it will do something to them .

They only relaxed when they saw it leave the cave, however, their relief didn’t last long as a grey-haired middle-aged man and a masked woman entered appeared at the entrance .

Instead of fear, the two were shocked as their eyes were fixated on Lucy . Although she never showed her face, her appearance was too eye-catching and she was famous worldwide, most people would immediately recognize her with just a glance .

Previously, they met Arthur but it’s the first time Lucy appears .

Now that he saw another one of his kidnappers, the old man became even more confused . He couldn’t remember doing any dealing with Lucy or the man beside him which made him frustrated and curious about the reason he was captured .

Unlike the young man, the doctor was certain of his safety as he could trade his life for a lot of things, things that would even make Lucy think twice before killing him .

"Y-you! What do you want from me!?"

While pointing at Lucy, the young man named Calias shouted angrily . For a National Hero such as Lucy to go out of her way to capture him and imprison here with the doctor, there surely must be a reason and although he was a ’bit’ arrogant, he wasn’t stupid .

"Well, for that you have to ask your dear mother . "

"W-what?"

Hearing Lucy’s chilling voice, the young man was startled and decided to lower his tone a bit and compose himself . He momentarily lost himself to the built up emotions and shouted at her, the person who kidnapped him .

"Whatever you want, I’m sure my mother will give it to you . "

Calias took a breath of cave’s cold air and said those words with a low tone and composed expression . He was sure his mother would try to save him even if it means paying large sums of money .

"Oh? Is that right? What about you, Doctor . Do you think you can provide what we need?"

This time, it was Arthur who talked . He didn’t change back to his old appearance as the old man would certainly recognize him .

The elderly stared back at Arthur and Lucy for half a minute or so before he replied

"I’m sure we can peacefully find a solution where both parties are satisfied . There no need to resort to unnecessary violence . "

Unfortunately, Arthur didn’t think so . He burst out in laughter as he retorted

"Hahahahaha that’s quite ironic from a mad man who performs all kinds of violent experiments on innocents . "

When the old man heard Arthur’s retort, his expression darkened all of a sudden and his eyes sharpened . Despite having his secret exposed, he kept a positive attitude and added:

"It is for the sake of evolution . We need to advance technologically to be able to resist any catastrophes that may befall on us . Just like the Undead Legion on Africa . "

Arthur walked up to the chained doctor, crossed his arms and grinned evilly while saying

"It’s the same thing for us . You want evolution and I want to get rid of the filth that is scattered on the Earth . Both our goals are for the sake of humanity, it’s just that mine . . . only require the sacrifice of a few people . "

Despite hearing Arthur’s reason, the old man was persistent and didn’t want to admit that this was the end for him . There must be a reason he wasn’t killed the moment he got captured .

"Why must you be like this? I’m sure we can satisfy your wishes and grant you what you desire, you just need to ask . "

The doctor wanted to use this opportunity to use the right words to entice Arthur, who surely must be looking for something, or so thought the clueless old man .

He just needs his personal team to know his location and that will be enough for them to raid this place and bring him to safety . He even disregarded Lucy, who’s a powerful Hero . In fact, he hugely underestimated her as he never saw her fight but in his point of view, all the Heroes are weakling who can be killed used the special weapons he invented .

"Enough . I didn’t come here to pointlessly negotiate with you . "

Arthur waved his hand, binding the old man and rendering unable to even move a finger . The same thing applied to the helpless Calias, who tried struggling but to no avail .

Using his Telekinesis, Arthur threw two dark red pills in the captives’ mouths and forcefully made them swallow it . These weren’t poisonous pills but are actually pills which amplified hunger and caused the victim to hallucinate .

Basically, these pills will worsen their state over the next days and once the time is ripe, the live show will begin .

**************

After feeding the duo the two pills, Arthur and Lucy left the cave and teleported to their new home . There, they met quite an unexpected guess . Someone Arthur was curious and very wary about .

An old man with half-open eyes and dark circles under them . He was hugging a pink pillow and his body was tilting left and right . This mysterious old man was none other than one of the seven deadly sins and the current guardian of Earth, Snory .

He works under the System and apparently, he’s insanely strong, at least that’s what Arthur’s copy said .

The old man didn’t dare intrude without invitation so he patiently waited in front of the door until Arthur and Lucy appeared . The two parties stared at each other for a while until Snory started dozing off .

"Sir, why don’t you come in?"

The silence was quickly cut when Lucy took off her mask and politely invited the guest inside .
