He was like a machine that had just received a system malfunction and needed some time to process what he just heard.
Pregnant? Daughter?
Lucius's shock only lasted for a few seconds before it was conveyed into a boundless rage!
Damn! Who is trying to slander me like this!
In a way, these girls weren't completely wrong.
I mean, from the very start, his goal in the academy was to seduce a bunch of pretty women so they weren't completely …. But even so!
Even if he was a shameless philanderer, Lucius could never admit it, much less let such damaging rumours about him float all over the place .
That's why when he heard these rumours Lucius was so angry that his face changed through a multitude of colours.
Slander!
This was nothing but baseless slander!
Today, Lucius's eyes had really been opened!
He knew that Xander and his lackeys were working hard to destroy his reputation, but this was just too much!
No matter how bad the rumours were about his past they would only elicit the fear and caution of some heroines. But if this rumour was slowed to solidify, every heroine would feel immense disgust for him.
With things like that then he could forget about capturing the hearts of the heroines and with that he could kiss goodbye to all his love points too.

'No! Things can't go on like this!'
For Lucius, This was completely unacceptable! Earning such endless disgust from the heroines was the same as cutting off his livelihood, no it was even worse!
Lucius was originally planning to turn a blind eye and ignore the rumours spread by Xander but if this carried on he would truly be finished!
Lucius looked over to the two murmuring lady's with a vicious glint in his eyes causing the pair to shiver.
But he only silently cursed them before moving on.
There was no point in taking his anger out on them. They weren't the source of all this so it wouldn't do him any good.
If he wanted to end this he had to cut things out from the roots
At this point, all Lucius's thoughts were on dealing with the little bastard called Xander!
'That damn Xander! If I don't teach you a lesson today then I'm not human!'
…
Lucius didn't delay his actions and quickly rushed through the hallways.
He didn't care about his reputation and directly threatened a few of the more timid students for Xander's current location so he found him rather quickly.
Just as Lucius was a about to turn the corner he hear a pair of arguing voices
"Veronica! I am your fiancé, the son of a count! You are just the daughter of a baron!"
Hearing this, Lucius's footsteps stopped.
He just came to deal with Xander but he accidentally stumbled upon quite an interesting scene.
Lucius wasn't shocked or surprised, but what was going on, after all, wasn't he the lead culprit in fueling the flames from behind the scenes?
If anything, Lucius was regretting that he didn't bring some popcorn to watch the interesting drama .
But as the conversation between Veronica and Xander went on, Lucius couldn't help but frown
He could clearly see that Veronica was being pressured by Xander but he didn't step in to stop it.
He caused all this to reap some benefits, and that's exactly what he would do.
If Lucius wanted to play a hero saving the beauty the n he had to wait for things to get more fire
A hero is only a hero if he could save the beauty from a crisis
Lucius just watched silently, waiting for the opportune moment to step in
"Veronica, remember, you were the one who caused all this!"
After Xander said this, Lucius saw him raise his hand wrapped in lightning.
Seeing this, Lucius knew that the time to step in was now.
He stepped out in a flash wrapping his leg in a man and sent it straight towards Xander's back
Boom!
"L-Lucius what are you doing here?" Questioned Xander
"I'm warning you, don't stick your nose into this. This matter is a matter between the Caldwells and the Beaumont family. It has nothing to do with you!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at Xander's pathetic appearance, Lucius just sneered
"If it has something to do with Veronica then it has something to do with me?"
"Why would I believe such bullshit?"
"Why? That's simple."
As Lucius spoke, he wrapped his arm around Veronica's waist, drawing her into his embrace as he looked at Xander's stupefied face
"She's my woman!"
Ding! LP+ 200
As Lucius said this Veronica blushed furiously as she timidly avoided everyone's gaze.
She was so shocked and embarrassed she didn't even know what to say.
'His woman? When did this happen?'
Although Veronica didn't feel much aversion to Lucius's sudden statement, she was still shocked.
And it was not just her. Hearing this everyone was shocked and the most shocked of them all had to be Xander.
Although he had criticised Veronica, saying that she was flirting with Lucius, he knew better than anyone else that he was just gaslighting her.
After all, with his dots on her he knew just how far Veronica and Lucius had gone but now things were like this he didn't know how to react.
"Y-you you adulterous couple! Veronica, don't forget you're part of the Beaumont family, if you carry on with this nonsense your family will suffer!"
Hearing this Veronica's face went pale.
Her head hung down as her body shivered with fear. She looked at Lucius helplessly as she slowly walked towards Xander.
But now that he declared Veronica was his woman, how could he let her just go like that? He was the one doing the NTRing today!
