Chapter 794 Burden Of Fatherhood
Lenny quickly noticed this, and he pointed at Cuban, "KiLL, Take that one!" The Serpent heard the order and turned specifically in Cuban's direction. The Power that came from the serpents body locked Cuban in place. The Blood Demon could not move.
Just then, Cuban chuckled.
An obviously Sly smile stained his face. Just as Kill rushed towards him he stretched a hand to his side, and then grabbing a person, he placed this person before his face.
The moment Lenny saw who it was, his eyes shut open as he screamed at Kill. "STOP!!!"
Just a few inches from tearing the person apart, Kill obeyed the order and stopped. Right in front of Cuban was none other than Luca.
Cuban held him by the neck, his grip around the boy's neck tightened slightly and the cracking of bones could be heard.
"Wait!" Lenny screamed, "don't... don't do it!" Cuban smiled, "So its true, this one... he is important to you!" His voice was deep and gave the aura of confidence in what he was doing.
Cuban brought his head closer to Luca and sniffed a bit, "I can smell your scent on this one, and also the scent of that tramp that gave her life for you that time..." He suddenly had a sarcastic smile that revealed all the teeth of his Ox face, "...don't tell me D999, but is this one yours?" As he said this, he squeezed harder again. "Ahhhh!!!" Luca screamed. And Lenny found himself panicking a bit. "Stop! Stop!! He is mine. Do not hurt him. Don't!"
Cuban suddenly chuckled again, "wow! who could have thought that a heartless swan like you could actually get some heart and make this old daddy some grandchildren... I am so proud, that I am beaming with joy." He chuckled again. This was action that made Lenny frown. Cuban took a look at the giant serpents in the sky, as they caused destruction, "not bad! Not bad!! D999, you have really out done yourself. A human wielding such incredible power." Cuban nodded again and again. "Why don't we make a deal, you and I? You call off your serpents and I decide not to let my grandson here die today. What about it?" Lenny frowned harshly at those words. But he still did not move. Cuban raised a brow at this, "I see you need a bit of encouragement. Don't worry, I understand.
He suddenly grabbed one of Luca's arms and then with a pull, he ripped it off his shoulder.
"AHHHH!!!" Luca screamed as his blood jet from his body. This scene made lenny's heart shake and waver, and even the serpents that made up Anguis felt it. All three of them stopped their destruction and turned to him. Lenny's heart was shaky, and for the first time in his entire life, he was left battling with emotions that he did not know what to do about.
He knew that he had to destroy Cuban, destroy this city, and destroy the baroness. However, he did not want anything to happen to Luca. After all, whenever he looked at the boy, Lenny could not help but remember Luca's mother, and the fact that she had given her life for him. Glenn in Lenny's eyes although a witch, was an incredible woman. One of the bests that he ever had. And the fact that Luca was the last piece of herself that existed in this world, plunged heavily at his heart strings. If Luca were to die, then he did not know how he would live with himself.
All of sudden, he now remembered Victor's words to him. "You are burdened with weight of fatherhood."
Lenny frowned even tighter as those words echoed in his head. After all, he remembered his childhood from his first life. And his father was never there for him. Lenny had always thought to himself that if he ever had children, then he would be different. He would do things much better and be a real father to his children. He would protect them, care for them, and even make it to every baseball game.
If he had daughters, he would embarrass them with affection, and his sons, he would have boxing matches with them to toughen them up. What a surprise it was to him when he came from the Nether realm and he met Luca. Even though the boy did not want to talk, and he dyed his hair from white to pepper red like that of his mother, Lenny who had the Satan
System, knew that the boy was his son.
Besides, their resemblance was strong. There was also the natural arrogance that came with the boy's nature. And the fact that when Lenny had just come, Luca felt the need to prove his strengths. Lenny was not a fool. Luca did not even need to use white flames in front of him for him to know this. And all the while, all he did was observe the boy. Lenny's goal was that when all this was over, then he could sit the boy down and have a proper conversation with him, and maybe make up for lost time. Or even better, help him get a system that would improve his power. after all, Lenny had seen that as part of the qualities that the Satan System had.
He would give his own son the best. And support him on the path of growth and power.
Only a little more and it would have all been over.
Only a little more and he could have that conversation with him, and maybe, just maybe hear Luca call him 'Dad!'
Lenny closed his eyes. All that however, would only be in his head, a dream that he would no longer achieve.
Even now, he could see it through the Satan system, Luca was dying as a result of loss of blood. If he did not give in now, the boy would join his mother in the afterlife.
