"So you killed me because… of the legend?" she asked, flabbergasted. Is this man trying to trick her? Is he trying to say that he actually killed his wife and her family because of some random stuff that he saw in some diary?
She thought of how her family died in the previous life. They were killed like pigs, some were poisoned, some died from an arrow in between their brows. It was tragic, and it is waking up some emotions inside her.
"I heard that the stone is still with the Huang Family. Even Huang Qingyun confirmed this. However, when the old man was poisoned, he didn't have anything on him. The rule was that only the next clan head would receive that pendant. I thought it was with you. However, I have never seen you wear it."
"I haven't seen it."
"But it was with you… when you came back, no?"
"The Princess had it. I wasn't able to bring it with me when I came back." She answered with a straight face.
"Interesting…" Xu Ke was staring at her like he was trying to see if she was lying. "Anyway, I told you this not because I wanted to have your forgiveness. What I want is for you to understand that this world and our previous world are somehow connected."
"If we create a portal huge enough for our people in that world to pass through, we could create soldiers in this world. We could use it to rule them."
Crazy.
That was the only world that Lyca could use to describe him. How come she didn't notice Xu Ke's obsession with ruling another world before? "So… you helped the Long Family and Huang Qingyun in poisoning grandfather because… you thought he had the necklace?"
"Bingo!" Xu Ke clicked his tongue. "Why would I help someone without any benefits? That Huang Qingyun promised to give the pendant to me. Obviously, that didn't happen."
"So you killed him?"
"I didn't kill him."
Lyca doesn't believe him, but she decided not to say anything anymore. All she could do was laughed inwardly at this stupid fate.
It turns out that Xu Ke and her fate had been intertwined in the previous world and in this world. She somehow found it entertaining and stupid at the same time. She already died in the previous world and hoped to live a peaceful life in this world.
It turns out, all the trouble that she encountered was all because of Xu Ke! This man… he was her nemesis!
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I wanted to live a peaceful life."
"Oh?"
"And yet you keep on disturbing me."
"Come on! Can you really blame me?" he leaned against the chair and languidly crossed his leg over the other. "You know me… I always get what I want. This time… I want this world and I will get it. Obviously, I am telling you all this because I want you to join me."
She maintained a blank look on her face. It seems that her performance earlier had been very convincing? "Are you going to resurrect Shen Qui?"
"Of course! I am sure you are familiar with my family's old magic. As long as you help me open a portal in this world then…"
"Do you have these notes with you? The one from your family? I can't help you unless I read it." Once she gets her hands on those diaries, she was already planning on destroying them.
"Sadly, no."
That is indeed sad. Lyca didn't remove her gaze away from Xu Ke's face." And… how are you going to plan this portal? I mean… you wanted me to find some ways for that creature to live because you are scared that people from our world won't be able to survive in this world with their original body, right?"
"Sharp."
So he wanted a damn portal. All this trouble was just because Xu Ke wanted to open a damn portal, because he wanted to rule the world. If he badly wanted to do it, why not just design a game that would make him the sole honor of his own world inside the game?
Lyca knew that this was only her wishful thinking.
Xu Ke's beliefs were always extreme. And once he wanted something, he would do everything to get it.
"This portal…" Lyca started. "Does it need another sacrifice?"
Just as she expected, Xu Ke turned silent. He only responded with a tight-lipped smile. That was the confirmation that she needed.
"You aren't sure if it would work and yet you— "
"Come on! It worked with me! There's no reason for it not to work here!"
Actually, there is one reason. This world doesn't have magic. The people that Xu Ke killed in their previous world, her whole family, including her, were all magicians. They could manipulate the elements and use them to fight. They have manas and cores.
The people here don't have that.
Isn't that reason enough?
"That won't work here," Lyca said.
"Well… we won't know until we give it a try."
"Xu Ke, is this why you are letting your people revolt? Is this why you killed the president and replaced him? You wanted to slaughter all the people in this country?"
"Hey! Why are you so agitated?" he chuckled. The action only made her more irritated. This man was indeed a sociopath. She fought the urge to attack him right now. This isn't the right time for that. "The Du Empire will destroy this country. Not me. I won't even lift a finger. A war would happen soon. All I needed to do was watch and wait. Isn't that brilliant?"
"Brilliant?" Lyca asked. "That's stupid. Are you really going to kill people without the assurance that it would work?"
"Isn't that why you are helping me? You can assure that it would work! As long as that creature survives in here then… it would work with the humans in our world."
Madness.
This man is the definition of madness!
