Devils' Salvation

24. Let the plan begin.

The news about Jungkook and Lisa dating immediately went viral in both public and online. Especially their fandom called 'Liskook'. 

People celebrated the day like it was some kind of holiday. The company's official account on all platforms was bombarded with a series of congratulations that immediately went down because of the millions of messages being sent every five seconds.

Both Jungkook and Lisa's accounts were also bombarded with requests of followers and messages to their public accounts. Their private accounts were a little bit less chaotic but, nonetheless, messages were still being sent in huge numbers.

At this point, people already tattoed in their hearts and brains about this delightful day that it even went worldwide. Concerning each of their statues and reputation, the world took their public announcement of their relationship as a joyous occassion.

Fans of both Lisa and Jungkook came together and talked a lot of great things towards another. There were no wars, no arguments, and no humiliating the other party. Each fan was very respectful of their idol's private life that celebrities were jealous of their fans and tried hard not to compare theirs with Liskook's fandom.

Except for two people.

They were legitimately furious upon hearing the viral news from stations, online platforms, news, and so on. 

Belle was in madness and her room was immediately a royal mess, where you can't even point a finger to try and define what had happened with all the broken things scattered all over the room. There was no label or meaning but just screams of pure chaos.

Lucas was furious. His plan of courting Lisa caused him to be aggressive during his boxing workout. His wrapped hands were stained with dark red and his knuckles were thumping hard. He couldn't feel the pain because of the too much anger that he's currently feeling.

"When did they announce their relationship?"

Lucas sat down on the bench for a break from boxing. His personal attendant handed him a clean towel and a slightly cold water bottle.

"Last week, sir."

"I should've watched the calculation more carefully. Damn, I'm so stupid! I didn't even know that he would take this chance to take away what's mine!"

Lucas threw the water bottle as the content sprays across the room. He walked towards the big window wall and bent down as his breathing intensified in anger. Putting his hands against the glass wall, his reflection was reflected back, showing his real emotions or feelings.

His assistant watched him in silence.

Meanwhile, Belle screams at the top of her lungs while her closest neighbour who happens to be Lisa's close friend watched with popcorn in her arms at the balcony.

"Quick! Record this and send it to my lovely sister~" 

Tzuyu watched in delight as her maid gave her a chair to sit down while the other followed her order.

Belle, oblivious to these acts against her, continues to let her frustration and anger towards the objects and maids around her. Her innocent look has now been replaced with a monster in anger.

"How dare she commit my man under my nose! How dare she steal him! That b*tch! That sl*t! I will kill her!"

Glasses were thrown from all sides as the maids and servants tried their best to avoid being hurt while some of them weren't so lucky to dodge the small pieces of glass grazing their exposed skin.

"Young Lady, please calm down."

The oldest and senior of the servants tried to coax her master but was slapped, hard, in return. A loud smack echoed the big room as the servants, both male, and female gasped in shock.

Belle was huffing in anger and quickly wrapped her hands around the head of the maid and continued to physically harass her.

"How dare you lecture me! Who do you think you are! You are nothing but just a mere servant serving me, your master! Have you not learned any lessons during your younger days?! You useless ignorant mutt!"

The maid was pushed towards the broken glass. Landing on her behind, both of her hands cushioned her fall while also bearing the pain. The small broken pieces were embedded in her palm and blood quickly gushed out.

Belle watched her with deep anger in her eyes while the maid tried to keep a neutral face. 

The servants watched in horror as they could not believe what just happened.

"I thought you would know this by now, but how brainless you are in this situation despite being the oldest and longest you've worked here compared to the others."

The maid kept her head down and bit her lips to stop the whimper from coming out. Her disheveled appearance differed from the neat and tidy look from earlier.

"From this day forward, you are fired. Pack your stuff and go, I don't ever want to see your face ever again. If any one of you are dissatisfied as well, leave your resignation at the dining table and I will look at it three days from now. Those who are left behind will be rewarded handsomely. Dismissed!"

Tzuyu watched the scene with anger etched on her face.

"Have you sent the video to her?"

"Yes, my lady."

"My lady?"

"Hmm?"

"Why does that ogre does not recognize you the other day despite being close to her Lady Lisa?"

"I wasn't there when she tried to harass Lisa and ogres will be offended if you compare her with them. They're more reasonable and far more kind compared to that small piece of the parasite."

"My lady, Her Lady Lisa sent a message to take care of all of those servants who will leave Miss Belle's house. She will pay you back in return."

"Let her know that I got her message and to tell her not to worry about anything. I'll leave the video in her hands and she can do whatever she wants with it as long as that parasite will suffer until she can no longer take the torture."

"Very well, my lady."

Belle's actions were reported to Lucas in haste from one of his men who were sent to keep an eye on her.

"What a useless piece of shit."

Lucas took off his glasses and massaged his temples as he felt a headache coming.

"What should we do, sir?"

"Continue to keep an eye on her. As long as she doesn't do anything that will ruin the plan. she's free to do anything she wants but if it will affect our company, cut her off in both public and private slowly."

"Yes sir."

Lucas' assistant refilled his glass with wine.

"Have you got a hold on her schedule?"

"Yes. She will be attending with the young CEO as his partner. This will be their first public appearance as a couple and everybody is anticipating this event."

"Make sure you can keep a close eye on that brat so she can't escape. My plans are being ruined earlier than I planned."

"Very well, sir"

The assistant left Lucas' office and delivered his orders immediately.

Lucas stood up with his cup of wine and watched the busy downtown with a grim expression. His eyes were in slits as his brain churned, making more plans for the future. Not knowing that his every move were being monitored by his very own enemy; Jeon Jungkook.
