Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 306

Upon returning home, the couple found an unexpected guest in the living room . With a hot tea in his hand and elegant posture, the blonde-haired youth drank the tea while calmly gazing at the small girl, who was ignoring him and quietly watching the TV . Apparently, the content on the screen was much more interesting than him but it didn’t seem to bother him that he’s ignored as if he’s already used to such treatment .

The sudden appearance of both Lucy and Arthur startled Usui, however, what surprised him is not their appearance but Arthur, who was standing so close to Lucy .

His eyes showed his surging emotions but they vanished after a few seconds, regaining their usual serenity .

"Hello, I presume you are Miss Lucy’s husband . Nice to meet you, I am Usui Grucham . "

After having been with Lucy for five years, he came to know a few things about despite the fact that she rarely spoke with him . It’s all due to the drunken Delia, who would mumble useful things for him every now and then .

He knew that Lucy only had one man in her heart and it’s her unknown husband, who never showed up during this long period . He wondered many times what kind of person could steal her heart but never had the chance to meet this man until this moment .

Although Arthur wasn’t unleashing his aura or releasing any killing intent, the Flame Emperor still felt invisible pressure, the pressure of a strong rival .

Unfortunately for the young man, Arthur didn’t think of him as a rival, he actually considered him a talent and rather composed boy . The difference in age is just too big, especially for Arthur, who lived for more than a hundred years and experienced things that no one could imagine .

"You’ve mesmerized quite the smart sheep hahaha"

Through a simple telepathy skill, Arthur conveyed his thoughts to Lucy, who snorted and turned her head away . She didn’t care about Usui and clearly rejected him many years ago but he just wouldn’t give up so she just ignored him . If it was on Astria, she would have killed him a thousand times over, unfortunately, the community was different and her mentality changed after what she had been through, she couldn’t kill anyone she disliked but that didn’t mean she’ll have to bear with such individuals too . After her small outbreak four years ago, where she almost killed him if not for Delia’s intervention, she forced herself to contain the annoyance she was feeling until Arthur comes back .

"Hmpf! I spared your life four years ago on one condition . "

Lucy’s eyes narrowed as she stared at the young man with dagger-eyes .

"It was not to come to my home, it appears you do not value your life . "

The temperature of the room decreased by a dozen degrees and a chilling feeling that shook Usui’s spines invaded his body . He felt his body tremble on its own as a killing intent similar to the one from before, was directed at him .

From the looks of it, Lucy wasn’t joking since she didn’t hold back her murderous aura as stared at him with her two blood red eyes . Personally, she didn’t like Usui, much less his clingy behavior, sure, he acted polite and was a composed person who is wise enough despite his age yet a person like him isn’t an exception of her hate for men .

Things happened and she ended up living on Earth but she never forgot what happened to her, the disgust she feels toward other men cannot be removed this easily and the very fact that Usui tried to win her heart despite knowing about Arthur had displeased her .

Even the engrossed Lolitta turned to look at Lucy, the Yin power in the room didn’t seem to affect the little girl, nonetheless, her big eyes were focused on Lucy for a short time before she resumed watching the TV .

"Now now, he didn’t mean it . "

Arthur patted her head as he said that . The freezing aura remained for another second before it disappeared, since Arthur had talked, she decided to stop and let him do whatever he wants, she knew him and was certain that he’s the over-protective type, knowing about Usui, surely he won’t let the young man do as he pleases since he just came back .

After all, it isn’t so pleasing to see another person chase after your wife while still knowing that she doesn’t like him and that she’s already married .

Arthur walked up and shook hands with the hanging hand of Usui, who stood up and introduced himself while extending his hand in greeting .

He felt that the youth’s hand was stiff as he didn’t fully recover from the brutal killing intent that was emitted from Lucy . The difference in strength is just too big and a person who only experienced tragedies and is full of hate for something is bound to have accumulated killing intent for it .

"I am Arthur MoonStar, husband of Lucy . Very pleased to meet you, Mister Usui . "

As he shook hands with Arthur, who not only had an invisible pressure that made him uneasy, but also was a head taller than him . Usui started regretting coming into here, nonetheless, he resolved himself and relaxed his stiff hand before he smiled back at Arthur, who didn’t seem to the least bit angry .

"I have long since wanted to meet Sir Arthur . You definitely are how I expected you to be . "

Arthur’s smile grew wider as he replied:

"Why thank you . Unfortunately, I couldn’t say the same for you . "

No reaction was shown on Usui’s face despite hearing Arthur’s words . He retracted his hand and added:

"I am very interested about your past expectations of me . "

Arthur was obviously lying when he uttered those words, he just knew about Usui earlier when Lucy briefly talked about him . However, there was more to him than what the eye can see .

He thought he’s some rich young master who became decently strong after the appearance of the System but it didn’t seem to be the case . He wasn’t like Feylord, the perverted rich noble who wanted to buy Lucy, in fact, he was quite the opposite .

’Calm and intelligent, a bit sly though’ that was Arthur’s first impression of Usui .

As he looked down on this composed blonde-haired youth, Arthur spoke blunt and truthful words to Usui

"A man who pursues a woman he loves, needs, before anything else, to have the power to protect her . Mister Usui, what I see in front of me isn’t someone who is capable of protecting my wife, and know that a title isn’t enough to show your powers, it’s all empty words, a body without bones . "

Usui silently listened to Arthur and frowned, it was clearly indicated that he can’t have her since he’s too weak .

The blondy was about to retort but Arthur didn’t let him talk as he continued:

"Blinded by love and unable to see the reality . Only moved by the exterior, cannot understand her feeling, unable to see inside her head, inadequate to fathom her thoughts . Being strong isn’t enough, you claim to love yet you do know who she is, you claim to love but you do not know her origins, you CLAIM to love but unfit to know about her past . Mister Flame Emperor, what you love isn’t my wife but your image of her, a perfect woman, suitable to be the Empress . "
