Lucky 41

Scarlett paused, she looked at her shoulder and realized that she was bleeding. A bullet penetrated her although it was not deep, blood slowly crept out. She was wearing a battle suit and her skin was much tougher now that she became a 2nd Advanced, it was fortunate that she wasn't injured greatly. She looked at Young Master Chen and she was fucking furious, her blood-red eyes were raging. She took a step and got close to him, her steps were so heavy as if the ground would shake.

"I- I said don't move!!"

Bang Bang!!

Young Master Chen who was anxious and shivering started firing the gun until he lost all his bullets. Most of the bullets didn't hit Scarlett because Chen was trembling and couldn't control his aim. Even his legs were weak and he was having a hard time standing.

Scarlett had wounds on her shoulder and legs. It was lucky that Calix was not hit by any bullets, it seemed like his Term Attribute was working despite the user sleeping. Scarlett looked at her wounds, she didn't feel any pain despite having injuries. Perhaps the breakthrough made her body numb. She just returned her gaze at Young Master Chen and the villainous guy shuddered in fear. 

"No no no!!! Don't come near me!!"

He continued pulling the trigger although no bullets flew. He was desperate. Then, he threw the gun at Scarlett but the gun didn't reach her because the throw was so weak. Young Master Chen started running away as his pants were filled with his piss. He peed because of fear and ran away to protect his life. He looked pathetic as he screamed like a woman.

Scarlett remained looking at his figure slowly disappearing, blood slowly rolled down her face. She gently sat on the ground as she held Calix with love, she was covering and protecting him. Actually, right now, her mind was unclear like a fog, but her senses were telling her to protect Calix no matter what. Her consciousness slowly faded as she closed her eyes while hugging Calix, she smiled and didn't think about anything, not even her injuries.

The blood that dripped down landed on the ground and Scarlett completely fell asleep. She was tired because of overusing her body, she just made a breakthrough after experiencing a skull-cracking spell. Even before that, Scarlett fought the Term Attribute users in the school and spent a great amount of energy, she was too exhausted. It was apparent that she would succumb to sleep and rest. 

"Lady Scarlett."

Luckily, a person appeared and took care of Scarlett and Calix. Athena had a gentle smile as she covered them with a blanket. This was the only thing she could do for now since she had things to do. Her deep black eyes looked in the direction where Young Master Chen went. Her aura was so frightening that even the wind shook around her.

She was going to teach someone a lesson that they would never forget even in the afterlife. Athena started walking as her metal bat scraped the ground and the metal noise echoed with danger signals. 

"Shadow, take care of them and treat their wounds."

"Don't worry, I will take care of the lady. I already called the others, after they cleaned everything, they will go here."

Athena whispered in the air and someone replied to her, the unknown shadow trembled with happiness because of Lady Scarlett's breakthrough.

Athena nodded and smiled, she was happy for Scarlett. Truth be told, she was anxious and still thinking if her decision was right. Perhaps she should have helped Scarlett. However, when she saw how Scarlett awakened her 2nd Advancement, she realized that her decision was the right thing. Now, Scarlett was the youngest person to reach 2nd Advanced, she beat the world record. As her maid, Athena was proud of her. The coldness in her eyes changed a sudden gentleness.

'Lady Scarlett, I will do my best to repay for my sin. So please, don't hate me.'

She knew that she hurt the young girl so much, but Athena believed that it was a must. If she didn't do it, then Scarlett would not become stronger.

What she didn't know is that a great factor helped Scarlett to break through, it was none other than Luck. The term that is used when good things happen, Scarlett was filled with Luck because she had sex with a person who has a strong connection with Luck. In a sense, Scarlett absorbed 70% of Calix's Luck which was unavoidable since Calix had to have sex with a girl anyway to awaken his Term Attribute. It's unmistakable that most of his luck would go to the girl.

Still, overall, the reason why Scarlett's breakthrough was because of her unparalleled talent, Luck just helped her to fasten the process. Scarlett should have had a breakthrough five or six years but because of the current situation, fate tangled up and the outcome was Scarlett reaching the 2nd Advanced. 

"Lady Scarlett, we will make you the next pillar of our country-no. We will make you the next pillar of the world. We will pave the path for you… and please forgive us if sometimes we have to make you suffer, it's all for your sake. The mother lion would throw her cubs down the cliff to make them stronger."

She said with a fierce glare, she felt a slight rumble from the ground.

"Shit!! Why is this happening!!? I'm the son of the leader of the Cudgel Clan!! The inheritor of Cudgel Tech!! Why is this happening to me!? I'm a millionaire and a soon-to-be billionaire!! God damn it!!"

He slammed his fists against the steering wheel. Young Master Chen was currently flying using a flying car that he bought. His family owned a high-tech company and this flying car is one of their latest technology. To be honest, he hated to use this car because it was created by his older step-sister. However, he acknowledged that this car was the fastest way to leave this place. He looked at the system, making sure that everything was fine, he was anxious that Scarlett was still following him. 

He was furious. In all his life, this was the most humiliating moment of his life. He couldn't accept that he was defeated just like this despite planning everything consistently. 

"It's fine, I can fix this. As long as I have money, I can fix this. I will get her sooner or later. Scarlett, you will be mine."

He gripped the steering wheel as his bloodshot eyes glowed. This asshole is still thinking about revenge.
